May 17, 2002: The Mercenary Gabriel | The Amazing Kreskin

Art Bell speaks with The Amazing Kreskin, the renowned mentalist who has made a bold public prediction backed by $50,000 of his own money. Kreskin claims that during May or June 2002, the Nevada desert will witness one of the largest UFO sightings of the past century, involving three or four craft visible to scores of witnesses. He describes how the prediction arose from studying the history of sightings and a deep personal conviction, and hints that the event carries significance beyond the sighting itself.

In the second segment, Art interviews a man using only the name Gabriel, who claims to work as a private military operative rescuing people from foreign prisons and recovering stolen assets. Gabriel describes assembling six to thirteen man teams for missions costing over a million dollars, vetting recruits through dangerous physical tests, and operating in countries from Peru to Brazil. He recounts being detained by armed federal agents just hours before airtime, getting stabbed in a jail, and narrowly escaping through his legal team.

Art probes Gabriel on the morality of killing during operations, his training as a sniper, and how he mentally prepares by considering himself already dead. Gabriel attributes his path to his mother, who taught him from childhood that he must never be a victim or allow others to become victims.
