A voodoo ritual has been performed to jinx President George Bush during his trip to Indonesia.
Black magic practitioner Ki Gendeng Pamungkas slit the throat of a goat and a small snake and then stabbed a black crow in the chest during the ceremony.
He mixed their blood with spice and broccoli before drinking some of the potion and smearing some on his face.
"I don't hate Americans, but I don't like Bush," he said.
Pamungkas said the ritual would succeed as "the devil is with me today".
"I am doing voodoo, because other ritual would not work," he added.
Pamungkas believes spirits will posses Secret Service personnel guarding Mr Bush and leave them in a trance, leading them to falsely think the President was under attack.
This would cause chaos in Bogor Presidential Palace, where the US leader is scheduled to meet President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono on Monday.
Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim country but many still practice such rituals.
Where are the animal rights activists?
Bring back the good old days of the European Empires. People doing this sort of thing would be shot back then.
Love, Ivan
Indonesia is the world's most populous Muslim country but many still practice such rituals.
Seeing as that's the world's most populous Muslim country, the devil probably is with you, or at least nearby...
but seriously...what scum...
How charming. I wonder how long before the voodoo people get the atomic bomb.
ARTICLE SNIPPET:
"Pamungkas said the ritual would succeed as 'the devil is with me today'."
Why bother? He's doing a good job all by himself turning his administration into his father's.
Ki Gendeng Pamungkas will take the place of Obama as the face of the Democratic Party...
Based on their progress described, I would say they have yet to invent the sling shot. I wouldn't spend too much time worrying at this point.
And the Lord Jesus Christ is with our President today!
From one of your countrymen:
General Sir Charles Napier (1782–1853), Commander-in-Chief in India.
A delegation of Hindu locals approached him complaining about the prohibition of Sati — the custom of burning widows alive on the funeral pyres of their husbands — and his response was:
You say that it is your custom to burn widows. Very well. We also have a custom: when men burn a woman alive, we tie a rope around their necks and we hang them. Build your funeral pyre; beside it, my carpenters will build a gallows. You may follow your custom. And then we will follow ours.
Didn't they try this at the last Democrat convention?
Didn't work then...
Absolutely correct.
Ditto and Amen.
Well there's your problem; that's how to jinx George H. W. Bush.
lol, I hadn't noticed that.
No. 1: Ignorant people all around the world believe in a bunch of bunk. In our own country millions believe in Astrology, one of the biggest dog piles you ever saw. We also have a whole bunch of Santaria followers and other assorted nut-cakes. Indonesia isn't qualitatively different.
No. 2: While it is possible that this particular nut-cake is a Muslim, in Indonesia it is at least as likely that he is not, given that the is a self-admitted black-magic practitioner, or Dukun. He is at least as likely an animist of some sort. He certainly isn't sporting a Muslim name.
No. 3: I wouldn't make much of the fact that this guy is trying to put a spell on Bush. He's probably looking for publicity to shore up his Dukun trade. Indonesian Dukuns have tried to put spells of ddifferent types on me at several times in the past, and I've never noticed any ill effects. I don't think they are very good at it. Haitians are much more skilled.
No. 4: I wouldn't bother wasting a perfectly good epithet like "scum" on someone of so little consequence.
Oh Darn the spell is being outnumbered by a gazillion daily Prayers up for President Bush.
Saint Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray;
and do Thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host -
by the Divine Power of God -
cast into hell, satan and all the evil spirits,
who roam throughout the world seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen.
Ki Gendeng Pamungkas is scheming for a position in a future democrat administration or maybe as a democrat strategist.
