Iran shock: tv psychic makes bizarre tehran-us claim as he applies

Mr Geller, renowned for his spoon-bending prowess, has decided to apply for a job in Boris Johnson’s administration. The 73-year-old psychic was responding to an apparent job advert posted

by Mr Johnson’s key adviser Dominic Cummings, which called on “weirdos” to apply for positions in Downing Street. The advert stated that Number 10 wants to hire an “unusual set of people

with different skills and backgrounds” to work as special advisers and potentially officials. Mr Cummings called for “weirdos and misfits with odd skills”, data scientists and policy experts

to apply to a gmail account if they think they fit the bill. In his covering letter the British-Israeli TV star claimed that he had been an agent for the FBI and CIA. He claimed that his

career in entertainment had simply been a cover for his long standing intelligence work. Mr Geller wrote: “While many have doubted my abilities, my achievements cannot be dismissed as

trickery or illusions. "In my intelligence work I assisted with Operation Desert Storm, helped to locate secret tunnels in North Korea, and used my skills to erase crucial diplomatic

discs on their way to Moscow.” He also boasted of using his special powers to help Mr Johnson crush Jeremy Corbyn in December’s election and said he would have been an asset in Brexit

negotiations with Michel Barnier, if he had been called upon. A source close to the TV star told the Daily Telegraph that the famous psychic was deadly serious about his application . The

source said: “Uri is 100 percent serious about taking up a role in Government. JUST IN: DOMINIC CUMMINGS VOWS TO ERADICATE GENDER IDENTITY TARGETS FROM NO10 He was tested for “clairvoyant”

or “telepathic” abilities as part of the “Stargate” programme, aimed at weaponising what the CIA called “remote viewing” and trying to recruit so-called psychic warriors. Mr Geller has

claimed that his feats are the result of paranormal powers given to him by extraterrestrials. He shot to fame after an appearance on British television in 1972, when he bent the nation’s

cutlery and prompted stopped clocks to restart. Mr Cummings announced his new recruitment drive on his blogpost. He wrote: “We want to hire an unusual set of people with different skills and

backgrounds to work in Downing Street with the best officials, some as spads and perhaps some as officials.” He lists seven categories, of which “weirdos and misfits with odd skills”

features as number seven. In his description of what he is looking for in this category, he writes: “We need some true wild cards, artists, people who never went to university and fought

their way out of an appalling hell hole, weirdos from William Gibson novels like that girl hired by Bigend as a brand ‘diviner’ who feels sick at the sight of Tommy Hilfiger or that

Chinese-Cuban free runner from a crime family hired by the KGB. “By definition I don’t really know what I’m looking for but I want people around No10 to be on the lookout for such people.

“We need to figure out how to use such people better without asking them to conform to the horrors of ‘Human Resources’ (which also obviously need a bonfire).”
