CELEBRITY psychic Uri Geller previously used his telepathic powers to predict Theresa May would become prime minister and his latest trick is to stop Corbyn from replacing her at Downing Street.
The Israeli-born psychic who lives in a mansion in Berkshire, says he will use "telepathic powers" to stop Jeremy Corbyn becoming prime minister.
Geller, famous for spoon bending with his mind, was speaking on a panel with Roseanne Barr, at an event chaired by American rabbi, Shmuley Boteach.
In answer to a question about the Labour Party leader, Geller told the Jerusalem audience: “I have no problem in saying he is an antisemite.
“God forbid if he takes control.”
Geller was asked by Boteach if he thought it would damage his celebrity status if he called Corbyn an antisemite.
Geller said: “I have charisma, if I said it, I would say it in the right way. I would have to say it live on TV in Britain and feel the Jewish people looking at me.”
Geller, who was once the subject of a documentary that claimed he used his telepathic and psychic powers in a number of key CIA operations during the Cold War, said he would make sure Corbyn never became prime minister.
“With all my telepathic powers I am not going to let that happen,” he said.
Barr, whose sitcom Roseanne was revived last year but then cancelled after she tweeted allegedly racist comments about an African-American member of the Obama administration, said she would support Geller with “telepathic powers too".
Uri, 72, spoke about his meeting with Theresa May in 2014 when she was Home Secretary.
He said: “I had taken her out to the garage of my old home to show her how I bent spoons.
“I happened to pull out one that once belonged to Winston Churchill. Then it struck me. I said, ‘Theresa, you will be the Prime Minister’.
“She laughed but I was right. I don’t know if it was intuition, psychic powers or telepathy. This was about two-and-a-half years before it happened.”
It emerged in 2017 that experts at Stanford Research Institute became convinced of Uri’s psychic abilities after performing experiments on him in 1973.
But whether his attempt to keep Corbyn out of Number 10 works is anyone's guess ...
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
