  • ‘GET OUT’ gets 100% on Rotten Tomatoes!

    ‘GET OUT’ gets 100% on Rotten Tomatoes!

    It’s mostly unheard of.. not only do horror films get hit bad by reviewers on Rotten Tomatoes, but movies rarely score above 90%.

    The horror film based on racism called GET OUT is scaring 100% positive reviews with movie critics on Rotten Tomatoes, while audiences who went to see it are giving it a high 81%..

    The plot: The story of African American photographer Chris (played by Daniel Kaluuya), who goes to meet his white girlfriend’s (Allison Williams) parents for the weekend, is filled with uncomfortable moments on multiple levels…

    The movie is obvious political and social commentary.. It’s in your face. But many horror films in the past since the dawn movie making have successfully been exactly that.. DON’T THINK FOR A SECOND THAT NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD did not have political overtones.. or Rosemary’s Baby.. or even FRIDAY THE 13TH.. Each film had their array of hidden agendas or obscure messages silently in the background of the crazy killer in a ski mask or the zombie invasion..

    GET OUT goes all out there. In your face.

    Just a few reviews from ROTTEN TOMS:

    AS far as theater counts:

    Get Out Universal 2,781
    Rock Dog Lionsgate/Summit 2,077
    Collide Open Road Films 2,045

    The BATMAN lego movie is expected to continues its dominance..

  • The strange death of the Vitaly Churkin

    The strange death of the Vitaly Churkin

    FROM NBC NEWS

    [youtube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkAUgKG4XhQ]

    It is not surprising that most are considering this death to be quite suspicious.. quite strange.. quite bizarre.

    Adding a bit of intrigue of the injury of his sudden heart attack in New York City, this tidbit of information has been gaining speed on social networks: Wikileaks exposed that John McCain had a strange quest for campaign cash from the same ambassador who is now dead.. 

    Since his death tensions are now evident between Russia and Ukraine.. 

    His body has been delivered back to Russia.. 

    An autopsy was done earlier this week..

    City medical examiners concluded Churkin’s death needed further study, which usually includes toxicology and other screenings. Those can take weeks.

    The medical examiner is responsible for investigating deaths that occur by criminal violence, by accident, by suicide, suddenly or when the person seemed healthy or in any unusual or suspicious manner. Most of the deaths investigated by the office are not suspicious…

  • Witches brew: Are you casting a spell on Trump at Midnight?

    Witches brew: Are you casting a spell on Trump at Midnight?

    The popular website ELLE is the first on this feed:

    Starting at midnight on Friday, witches around the country are calling for a mass spell to be cast on Donald Trump every night of a waning crescent moon until he’s driven from office.

     The spell was publicized by Michael M. Hughes, who told ELLE.com that it was tweaked from multiple spells he saw going around private witchcraft groups. He published it on Extra News Feed because he felt “it would be very welcome to a lot of people.” It quickly spread, with events being formed around the country and support on social media.
    Matt Drudge also linked the ELLE article and caused a worldwide flurry of activity from witches and others who want to take part in the paranormal play..
    According to further reporting from Jaya Saxena:
    The ritual itself is pretty standard magic working, binding Trump from doing harm to others and to himself, rather than asking any forces to do harm to him. There are objects to represent the elements and to represent Trump himself. The tarot card of the Tower represents ambitions built on lies, which are struck down by a lightning flash of truth. For those who believe in witchcraft, it looks to be an effective spell.
    Various media organizations have given the story press, including the Huffington POST, USA TODAY, and the Associated Press.
    The #Resistance has gone to the dark side..
    There is now also a Facebook page dedicated to people’s photos and detailed info on what happened during the binding..

    A Spell to Bind Donald Trump and All Those Who Abet Him (version 2.0)

    To be performed at midnight on every waning crescent moon until he is removed from office. The first ritual takes place Friday evening, February 24th, at the stroke of midnight. This binding spell is open source, and may be modified to fit your preferred spiritual practice or magical system — the critical elements are the simultaneity of the working (midnight, EST—DC, Mar-a-Lago, and Trump Tower NYC time) and the mass energy of participants.

    See below for the upcoming dates. Some lodges/covens are doing a variation of this as a group working, while a number of solitary practitioners are planning to connect and livestream via Facebook, Twitter, and other social media.

    Components:

    • Unflattering photo of Trump (small); see below for one you can print
    • Tower tarot card (from any deck)
    • Tiny stub of an orange candle (cheap via Amazon)
    • Pin or small nail (to inscribe candle)
    • White candle (any size), representing the element of Fire
    • Small bowl of water, representing elemental Water
    • Small bowl of salt, representing elemental Earth
    • Feather (any), representing the element of Air
    • Matches or lighter
    • Ashtray or dish of sand

    Optional:

    • Piece of pyrite (fool’s gold)
    • Sulfur
    • Black thread (for traditional binding variant)
    • Baby carrot (as substitute for orange candle stub)

    Preparation:

    • Write “Donald J. Trump” on the orange candle stub with a pin or nail
    • Arrange other items in a pleasing circle in front of you
    • Lean the Tower card against something so that it’s standing up (vertically)
    • Say a prayer for protection and invoke blessing from your preferred spirit or deity. Reading the 23rd Psalm aloud is common in Hoodoo/Conjure/Rootwork traditions. Experienced magicians may perform an appropriate banishing ritual.

    RITUAL

    (v. 2.1)

    (Light white candle)

    Hear me, oh spirits
    Of Water, Earth, Fire, and Air
    Heavenly hosts
    Demons of the infernal realms
    And spirits of the ancestors

    (Light inscribed orange candle stub)

    I call upon you
    To bind
    Donald J. Trump
    So that he may fail utterly
    That he may do no harm
    To any human soul
    Nor any tree
    Animal
    Rock
    Stream
    or Sea

    Bind him so that he shall not break our polity
    Usurp our liberty
    Or fill our minds with hate, confusion, fear, or despair
    And bind, too,
    All those who enable his wickedness
    And those whose mouths speak his poisonous lies

    I beseech thee, spirits, bind all of them
    As with chains of iron
    Bind their malicious tongues
    Strike down their towers of vanity

    (Invert Tower tarot card)

    I beseech thee in my name
    (Say your full name)
    In the name of all who walk
    Crawl, swim, or fly
    Of all the trees, the forests,
    Streams, deserts,
    Rivers and seas
    In the name of Justice
    And Liberty
    And Love
    And Equality
    And Peace

    Bind them in chains
    Bind their tongues
    Bind their works
    Bind their wickedness

    (Light the small photo of Trump from the flame of the orange candle stub and hold carefully above the ashtray)

    (Speak the following loudly and with increasing passion as the photo burns to ashes)

    So mote it be!
    So mote it be!
    So mote it be!

    (Blow out orange candle, visualizing Trump blowing apart into dust or ash*)

    (Pinch or snuff out the white candle, ending the ritual)


    Grounding and Disposal

    Afterward, ground yourself by having a good, hearty laugh, jumping up and down, clapping your hands, stomping your feet, and having a bite to eat. Grounding is very important—don’t neglect it. And remember—he hates people laughing at him.

    Finally, bury the orange candle stub or discard it at a crossroads or in running water.

    VARIANTS

    Alternate Closing: After you’ve visualized Trump’s energy dissipating, gaze at the white candle flame for a few moments, close your eyes, and imagine a bright light emerging from the darkness and gradually being revealed as the flaming torch of the Statue of Liberty. The light from the torch then brightens intensely, expanding into infinity and burning away all darkness. After a few moments, open your eyes, ground yourself, and pinch or snuff out the white candle, closing the ritual. You can also leave it burning until it is fully extinguished.

    Traditional Binding Variant: This variant was contributed by a rootworker, and incorporates a more traditional form of binding magic. In place of burning the photo, the magician ties the photo to the orange candle with black thread. As you are wrapping the thread around the photo and candle, say “I bind you” three times. You may also tie knots in the thread. Then the whole package is buried or, as the contributor suggested, “Leave it outside a Trump hotel.”

    The Use-His-Pet-Phrase-Against-Him Variant: In place of “So mote it be,” instead say, “You’re fired!” with increasing vehemence. This should be particularly beautiful as the flames consume his image.

    Baby Carrot Substitution: For those who can’t acquire an orange candle stub, Frater SHUF suggests using a baby carrot (and lighting the photo from the white candle).

    Waning Crescent Moon Ritual Dates:

    February 24th (Midnight, Friday evening); March 26th; April 24th; May 23rd; June 21st (especially important as it is the summer solstice); July 21st; August 19th; etc.
