Thog's Science Masterclass #11

Not immensely scientific, I admit, but it seems somehow to fit the description. Here's what passes for sanity at the website In Jesus:

Block African witchcraft curses against McCain and Palin NOW!

Dear friends:

THIS IS EXTREMELY SERIOUS.

Minutes ago I spoke with friend Dr. Norman G. Marvin, M.D. and he is so concerned at what he has learned about Barack Obama's family in Kenya that he is calling a special prayer meeting in his home to pray against the witchcraft curses attempted by them against John McCain and Sarah Palin.

Dr. Marvin sent me the below e-mail from Flo Ellers.  Flo is credentialed with the International Fellowship of Ministries which is based in Washington State.  She is also a member of EndTime Handmaidens and Servants of Jasper, Arkansas.

IF YOU KNOW HOW TO DO SPIRITUAL WARFARE, PLEASE PRAY TODAY AND CONTINUALLY THAT ALL SUCH CURSES BE BROKEN AND SATAN'S PLAN FOR AMERICA BE DEFEATED, IN JESUS' NAME.  PRAY AND COVER MCCAIN AND PALIN WITH THE BLOOD OF CHRIST.  IF YOU DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO SPIRITUAL WARFARE, IT IS TIME YOU LEARN!!!

Jim

From Flo Ellers.  Excerpt.  (Emphasis supplied in bold and underlines.)

Two days ago, I listened to a 9-6-08 message by Bree Keyton, a young woman evangelist who had just traveled to Kenya and visited Obama's home village and what she found out about his relations with his tribal people was chilling. And his "cousin" Odinga was dreadful. She said the witches, warlocks and those involved in satanism and the occult get up daily at 3 a.m. to release curses against McCain and Palin so B. Hussein Obama is elected.

Bree Keyton told the tribal "Christians" you are NOT Christian if you practice "tribalism" where they do voodoo to conjure up a goddess spirit or a "genie" and then come to church on Sunday to worship Jesus! What she discovered there is apparent in most churches around the world; namely, mixture in the church. Some renounced their devilish practices of blood covenant by killing sheep, goats, humans to be inducted into the tribe or to get a wife or to get revenge.

She said the current president of Kenya is a Christian. However, Obama's cousin Odinga ran aganist him and said he rigged the election and stirred up the masses to rape woman and boys, kill and burn and torture Christians, etc. until Obama contacted Condeleeza Rice and she granted Obama the right to contact Odinga and other ruling elders and he "convinced" them to stop terrorizing the Christians. Bree Keyton said the current Christian President was forced by our government (!) to "create" an office for Odinga (to make "peace") so he was made the Prime Minister (!) to make peace between the Christians and Odinga's Muslim religion!

Bree Keyton went and visited Obama's tribal people and she found out Obama is 75% Arab and his family are Muslims. Odinga is strill trying to become the President of Kenya. If he does, he will make a law forbidding all public preaching and institute Sharia Law. Bree K. said Odinga has made a pact with satan.

Bree K. also said when Obama visited his tribe in '06 and as late as Jan. '08 he went to every elder's home which has a "shrine" inside to worship the genie and asked for their blessing. She was told Obama and Odinga were both "destined" before they were born to be president/leader of their nation. They say "he is the chosen one". She said Obama's grandmother sacrificed a black and a white chicken to the "goddess of the river" so both whites and blacks will vote for Obama. All Islam loves and worships Obama. The world is mesmerized by him. Oprah's 200 million followers are out to elect Obama. Also, Dick Morris of Fox News was sent to Kenya to help Odinga run his campaign! I find that unbelievable.

The occultists are "weaving lazy 8's around McCain's mind to make him look confused and like an idiot". Bree K. said we need to break these curses off of him that are being sent from Kenya.

I read a portion of "Obama Nation" book and looked at several websites and found most of this information to be true, all except the curses part, of course....

It beggars belief that in a modern, technologically advanced democracy there should still exist such bastions of ignorance and irrationality.

I could remark that it hardly requires wicked witches to "weav[e] lazy 8's around McCain's mind to make him look confused and like an idiot", but this might be thought uncharacteristically waspish of me, so I won't.

A Statistician Adds: "Oprah's 200 million followers are out to elect Obama." A very interesting figure, this.

LATER: pds_lit  has posted about this as well, and has done some follow-up research:

Now, googling, Bree Keyton, where all of this stems from and I found her website. In the first paragraph on the “About Bree” page states, and I quote, “Dr. Bree Keyton began her career as a warm-up act for rock stars and traveled the country with her own nightclub act. One night, while the band was playing, Bree was shot in the head.”

Humm? And the rest of the site wants to sell you her stuff.

"Bree was shot in the head" -- explains a lot, doncha think?

fork!

As a result of a trip with Dave and Hazel Langford to Reading's Oxfam Bookshop during our visit to the UK a few weeks ago I became the proud owner of a copy of Uri Geller's fine novel Shawn (1990). And, true nuff and righteously so, it is full of swell prose . . .

 

Now at last Vera Verovna knew what she felt like: the mouse before the cat, the bee before the bear, the frog before the snake, the child before the dinosaur, the leaf before the wind, the beauty before the beast.

Psychpriapic News

What a primitive world men live in, she thought. How they fashion for themselves a clumsy creaking order in which they love like robots this way and that, with stiff shoulders and stiff spines. It could not always have been this way. It must be, she decided, the nature of the male martial spirit in thee modern age when killing had become mechanized. Men had tried to pass on their suppleness, their willowy martial nature -- a nature that bends before the blow -- had tried to pass it on to their machines. In the machines it had become stiffer than it had been in them. Much, much stiffer. So they pushed machine against machine, stiff, grating, creaking, cranking communication from machine to machine, from computers to computers. Even the swift arrows of their rockets were unbending. A dash and a flash, that was the way they worked. A smooth arc, contact, flash -- oblivion. They had become very good at the in-and-out, advance and withdrawal, but all of it with a stiff back. They were as stiff as the rockets they had learned to launch, and as hollow as the silos their rockets left behind. [. . .] Men have always been old that way, at least in modern times she thought. But women are born new and willowy in every generation. Men are born stiff no matter how they bend their bodies.

Afternoon Anatomy

Without you, she continued this conversation with that so faithfully cared-for part of herself [you guessed right which part], I would be nothing. But if the tray is brittle, who will trust the teapot? Who, my little pot of hot and scented tea, will trust one's tea if he doesn't trust the pot and he won't trust the pot if the tray is brittle!

Pumpkin Paradise!

By anyone's standards, Nina was a big woman with breasts as round and large as pumpkins in the Autonomous Region of the Ukraine, if pumpkins grew there indeed, which Vitrio would not have doubted. And even whether or not the Ukraine, known to the world primarily for its wealth of grain, was autonomous was also a matter upon which Vitrio would not have liked to be questioned. But that Nina's breasts were large as pumpkins -- any region's, anybody's pumpkins -- that could not be doubted. [. . .] Like her great namesake, the Soviet discus thrower, the psychic Nina Dumbatse had shoulders to match her pumpkins, and she now shrugged them . . .

just for Hutch0

In another topic (to be more precise, one related to Uri Geller's imaginative use of pumpkin imagery) I was reminded of a passage I wrote long ago in my Legends of Lone Wolf novelization The Rotting Land in which a vegetarian princeling somewhere in High Fantasyland tries to explain to his barbarian brother that things are not going entirely too well on the connubial front.

I would have left matters there, but hutch0 was absolutely insistent I should post it -- so, somewhat against my better judgement, etc., here it is. To spare the rest of you, I've hidden it
