Voodoo and the Clintons

 

"Kevin Sullivan and Rosalind Helderman have two new stories out on the Clinton Foundation's recent high-profile work in Haiti, but Bill and Hillary Clinton's interest in the country goes back much, much further than that.

 

In his memoir "My Life," the former president wrote a vivid account of a trip the couple's first trip to Haiti in 1975 – which had been a wedding gift from their friend David Edwards, who had some business to do there for Citibank and some extra frequent flyer miles.

 

Bill Clinton wrote that "the most interesting day of the trip" came when he, Hillary and Edwards got a chance to see voodoo in practice in a village near Port-au-Prince. The priest was Max Beauvoir, a former chemical engineer who had studied at the Sorbonne in Paris. Beauvoir had abandoned that career when his voodoo-priest grandfather died and named him as his successor.

 

Beauvoir gave the three visitors what Clinton described as a "brief course in voodoo theology." And then the late-afternoon ceremony began. Clinton wrote:

 

"After several minutes of rhythmic dancing to pounding drums, the spirits arrived, seizing a woman and a man. The man proceeded to rub a burning torch all over his body and walk on hot coals without being burned. The woman, in a frenzy, screamed repeatedly, then grabbed a live chicken and bit its head off. Then the spirits left and those who had been possessed fell to the ground."

 

 

Clinton wrote that his "brief foray into the world of voodoo" furthered his fascination with "the way different cultures try to make sense of life, nature, and the virtually universal belief that there is a nonphysical spirit force at work in the world."

 

The trip to Haiti also came at a pivotal time for Clinton himself. Then a law professor, he had lost the political campaign he had waged, a race for Congress. He was trying to decide whether it was worth giving running for office another try. There was going to be an opening for Arkansas attorney general.

 

"By the time we got back from Haiti, I had determined to run for attorney general," Clinton recalled. This time, he won – and was on his way to the White House.

 

One lesson he took from Haiti, he wrote: 'The Lord works in mysterious ways.'"

Firewalking/Voodoo, Oprah and Tony Robbins

Voodoo Child Abuse:

 

The cause of the girl’s misbehavior was obvious, the women said. There was a demon inside her, and it needed to come out. It would not do so willingly.

 

So the women — Peggy LaBossiere, 51, and Rachel Hilaire, 40, of East Bridgewater, Mass. — bound the 5-year-old’s feet together and tied her hands to a long stick over her head, preventing her from resisting the voodoo ritual that followed, according to a police report obtained by the Enterprise, a Brockton, Mass., newspaper. Then LaBossiere kissed the girl “all around her face like a snake,” the report said, then used “a pointy object like a needle” to cut the girl on her arm and around her collar, drawing blood.

 

Then came the burning.

 

LaBossiere blew flames from a burning stick over the girl’s face. She also put oils and at least one caustic chemical on the girl’s head and in her eyes, causing a burn that doctors say will cause permanent disfigurement, the police report said.

 

LaBossiere also allegedly worked voodoo on the girl’s 8-year-old brother. When he resisted, she threatened to cut his head off with a machete, police said, according to the Associated Press. LaBossiere made him undress and rubbed his entire body with a “plant-like substance and blew fire on him…”

"During the campaign, Hillary Clinton was so enraged with how it was going that she considered making voodoo dolls of Congressmen and members of the media.

 

In her new book, What Happened, the former Democratic presidential candidate revealed that she was so frustrated with the constant outrage over her use of a private email server that she thought of turning to the dark arts…"

 

“It was like quicksand: the more you struggle, the deeper you sink. At times, I thought I must be going crazy. Other times I was sure it was the world that had gone nuts,” Clinton wrote. “Sometimes I snapped at my staff. I was tempted to make voodoo dolls of certain members of the press and Congress and stick them full of pins. Mostly, I was furious at myself.”

"Voodoo is one of the most misunderstood religions. Rituals involving animal sacrifices and its associations with skeletons and possession have given it a sinister reputation.

But New York photographer Les Stone sees it as a fascinating practice. He has been photographing Voodoo followers in Haiti for 25 years and produced incredibly powerful images from over 200 visits.

 

He describes voodoo as 'a huge package of physical sensory overload' and his pictures - of bulls and goats being bled to death, followers bathing in mud pools and blood-soaked dresses - capture the intoxicating energy of the ceremonies he attended.

 

Voodoo is an ancient West African religion practiced by more than 30 million people in Benin, Togo and Ghana. Varying forms of the religion exist elsewhere in the world, including Haiti and the U.S. Practitioners of voodoo believe that the world of humans is shared by the world of the spirits. It is thought that spirits can impact the world of the living, bringing good or bad luck.

 

The Fon tribe in Benin carve wooden dolls in the honour of dead children, which they look after as if they were alive."
