‘”Bush's 'spirit' cursed with black magic, tossed into river…”

“The spirit of US President George W Bush has been trapped in a clay pot and tossed into a river in northern Thailand after being cursed by hundreds of farmers protesting US agriculture policy.

A photograph of the US leader was sealed inside a pot amid black magic mantra chants, then tossed into the Ping River on Friday by demonstrators after they rallied at the US consulate in Chiang Mai, a farm group leader said.

"This is a traditional northern Thai ceremony aimed at keeping his spirit down on the riverbed so he could not come and exploit our natural resources or suppress our (farming) brothers with his superior influence," Weerasak Wan-ubol, an executive of the Northern Farmers Alliance, said today.”…cont.

“A respected elder performed the voodoo rites, inscribing ancient Khmer scripts on the pot, aimed at trapping the spirit of the US president.”

I hope you're enjoying your summer!

Thx for posting this. I needed a good laugh!

Sadly, the policies of this administration have touched every corner of the earth.;)

If I knew how, I'd put a curse on him too and take the consequences with my karma.

This is interesting to me because my son is going to marry a girl from Thailand. I'll have to tell him about this article..thanks, me!

He'll get a kick out of it cause he instinctively has bush's number.

since he doesn't seem to have a soul.

Time will tell.

when it comesd to spells and curses! Growing up in SE Asia I've always been told not to mess with Thai shamans! Looks as if this one may have done in the chimp. Hurray! :toast:
