It's been a while since we've been graced by postings from some of the more colorful "news" outlets. I know that many of you stated that you just skip over them based on the source, but I find I miss them. So I'm filling the gap. Check this one out. newsmax.com Monday June 19, 2000 9:09 PM EST Neighbor: Elian Victimized by Voodoo It was bad enough that Elian Gonzalez?s first venture out from his detention at the Wye Plantation was to the Georgetown home of wealthy donors to the Democratic Party. Elian is, no doubt, a trophy for the Democratic Party and for Castro. Apparently, the Cuban government wants to pay homage to its pagan gods for its custody of little Elian. Yesterday Elian, his family and an entourage of Cuban officials were escorted to the Silver Spring, Md., home of a Cuban-American. The next-door neighbor forwarded NewsMax.com pictures of the event. The neighbor insists the Gonzalez party was participating in Santeria activities. Santeria is an Afro-Cuban religion in which animal sacrifices are performed regularly to help the practitioner succeed in his endeavors. It has long being rumored that Castro and his thugs are involved in these practices that some refer to as voodoo. Another NewsMax.com reader also witnessed the Santeria conclave yesterday and reported, "Based on what I saw and heard, I believe the information provided by the next-door neighbor with respect to Santeria activity is reliable." He continued: "I can tell you that the sound of the drums was deafening at times, and that Juan Miguel was drinking heavily. The neighbor also pointed out a Santeria relic visible through the window of the house. All this activity took place under the noses of the U.S. Marshals Service and INS agents. "... practically the entire staff of the Cuban Interests Section was present at this event, including persons suspected of having participated in the attack on peaceful demonstrators in Washington, D.C., on April 14, 2000. Cuban diplomatic cars were parked all along the street during this five-hour gathering." Perhaps it?s time to call an exorcist.
