Clairvoyant 'led Americans to Saddam'

News.com.au ^ | November 06, 2006 | From correspondents in Herzliya, Irsael

[Nachum]

DID a clairvoyant help US commandos ferret Saddam Hussein out of his hiding place in Iraq three years ago?

Israeli-born celebrity psychic Uri Geller, best known for his spoon-bending antics, says the power of the paranormal led US troops to the fugitive Iraqi ex-dictator.

Clairvoyant: I see stupid people. They're everywhere...

[My2Cents]

Whatever it takes. BTW, what are the winning lottery numbers this week?

[Brilliant]

Too bad he did not warn us about 911.

[Chena]

Remote Sensing, BUMP.

[Perdogg]

Coast to Coast ping!

[dfwgator]

Miss Cleo?

[weegee]

If true, the muslim world is going to be nervous about Israeli psychics probing their minds.

Tinfoil on!

[Puppage]

I thought Ms. Chloe was in jail?

[Allegra]

Can he tell us who's going to win the elections tomorrow? All races, please.

[Jazzman1]

let's use that power to SMOKE OUT bin laden!

[weegee]

It would be unethical to use such powers for personal gain. < /s >

[Chena]

Too bad he did not warn us about 911.

I think there's a difference between predicting the future and remote viewing. :)

[KarlInOhio]

Who would you rather have making your military plans: John Edward or John Edwards?

[Question Liberal Authority]

Penn and Teller should debunk this guy by finding Osama Bin Laden.

[meg88]

'Caller, you are on the air!'

[Artemis Webb]

Uri Geller is a professional liar.

I remember when he tried one of his stunts on The Tonight Show under the very watchful eye of Johnny Carson. Well Carson watched him from an angle that Geller didn't like and all of the sudden Geller was not able to do supernatural feat.

The audience was literally laughing AT Geller.

From Wikipedia, "Remote viewing allows a viewer to use his or her intuitive abilities to gather information on a target consisting of an object, place, or person, etc., which is hidden from the physical perception of the viewer and typically separated from the viewer in space by some distance."

I watched a show on this recently and it really is fascinating.

[My2Cents]

thought Ms. Chloe was in jail?

Bet she didn't see that coming! :-)

[johnny7]

Now lets use it on the Democrats!

[teacherwoes]

Whatever it takes. BTW, what are the winning lottery numbers this week?

Why is it that you never hear of a psychic winning a lottery?

[Dark Skies]

Some of this remote viewing stuff sounds a little far-fetched but I hear the CIA uses it. As to clairvoyants, the FBI and various police depts use them regularly.

[Bigh4u2]

Did you ever notice how these 'clairvoyant's always tell us their predictions 'after' the fact?

[weegee]

How do you think we found Bela Pelosi?

[Rocky]

I watched it, too. And my TV wasn't even on. Maybe I have the power.

[MarineBrat]

I KNEW you were going to say that!

[SteveMcKing]

United States Army 4th Infantry Division captured Saddam. Men died doing it.

Uri Geller is a little whore who deserves flogging.

[lormand]

WTF?

There are posts I have added here where I predicted that Saddam was in Iraq.

< /sarcasm >

[Bigh4u2]

"I KNEW you were going to say that!"

You'r a clairvoyant!!!

Who knew!

:0)

[ASOC]

ah Saddam, I thought I smelled your foul stench....

Hard work and a few well placed dollars - and the bad guys dime out the head rat, nothing magic about it.

[Lurking in Kansas]

Yeah, I recently saw his appearence on Johnny Carson (on YouTube). It was hilarious, he chickend out big time. Carson insisted Geller to use HIS props -- he didn't allow Geller to bring his own.

What a fraud.

[antiRepublicrat]

let's use that power to SMOKE OUT bin laden!

Don't worry. Uri will be there to claim credit when we finally catch him through good old hard work.

Paging James Randi... (Randi can do everything Geller can do, only Randi will tell you it was a trick when he's finished)

[MarineBrat]

...one-million-dollar prize to anyone who can show, under proper observing conditions, evidence of any paranormal, supernatural, or occult power or event.

[Bigh4u2]

Even after they found out he was faking 'bending spoons' he still thinks he's got the 'power'.

[proud American in Canada]

Major Ed Dames bump!

I miss Coast to Coast (can't get it here)

[Bigh4u2]

Randy? Randy is that you?

:)

[Bigh4u2]

Sorry. Meant Randi..

[Finger Monkey]

secret weapon

of mass detection

bwahahahahahahahaha!

[MarineBrat]

Randy? Randy is that you?

OOoooOOOoooOQOOOWWooooooo! It's meeeeee, come back from the d.... wait a minute, I'm still alive! And my spirit is holed up in the body of MarineBrat (Which is a really nice body I must say).

[frithguild]

Now... The spider hole is a little to the left...

[advertising guy]

well remember the Adam Walsh kidnapping in Hollywood Florida? ...America's most wanted father? Remember his son was grabbed in a mall and found some time later dismembered with body parts on a "stick in a canal" ?

A psychic from San Francisco called the am radio show that morning while flying and laid out the " he's not alive and body parts can be found in a canal displayed on a stick................guess what ? She was a bingo to
the find and facts. I know ,I was there walking ,looking...................................................for what it's worth

"Over a period of more than two decades some $20 million were spent on STAR GATE and related activities, with $11 million budgeted from the mid-1980's to the early 1990s. Over forty personnel served in the program at various times, including about 23 remote viewers. At its peak during the mid-1980s the program included as many as seven full-time viewers and as many analytical and support personnel. Three psychics were reportedly worked at FT Meade for the CIA from 1990 through July 1995. The psychics were made available to other government agencies which requested their services."

I'm pretty sure you can view the documentation released under the FOIA on either the DIA or CIA websites somewhere. I'm not to sure about Uri's claims, but there were some noteworthy hits back during the cold war which makes it an interesting topic.

[Bigh4u2]

"Which is a really nice body I must say)."

Without pictures, I'll have to take your word for it!

[OldFriend]

PPPPPUUUUUUULLLLLLEEEEEEEEZZZZZZZZZEEEEEEEE

[Al Simmons]

The Amazing Randi (a real magician who despises frauds like Houdini despised them in his own time) has completely debunked Geller's abilities - years ago. Uri Geller is a total fraud.

[johnny7]

How come they can't find Kerry?!

[ASA Vet]

[SlowBoat407]

And look who dug him out!

[Dustbunny]

Exactly !!!

[ASA Vet]

Why is it that you never hear of a psychic winning a lottery?

Because they don't exist?

[Dustbunny]

LOL..... neither.
