Everything mystical and enigmatic has always attracted the attention of many people, and famous politicians and heads of state are no exception. Many of them regularly consult with personal astrologers and wouldn’t take a step without them, leading to decisions being influenced by magicians and sorcerers. This suggests that people are controlled by those who interact with otherworldly forces. Most magicians live on the African continent, where the connection to ancestral heritage is still strong, unlike in Europe and America.
According to Novye Izvestia, a political scandal broke out this week between Nigerian parliament members and the country’s president. Officials accused the head of state of using magic to make political decisions. In Gambia, the West African president claims he heals the most serious diseases. He even has a special schedule for visitors: on Mondays and Thursdays, Yahya Jammeh treats AIDS patients, and on Tuesdays and Fridays, he works with asthma sufferers, allowing people to choose a time and make appointments.
There are also renowned and respected politicians in Europe and America interested in mysticism. Hillary Clinton, the U.S. presidential candidate, met with the medium Jean Houston several times, who recently revealed an incident from 1995. During a séance in the White House solarium, Clinton briefly entered a trance, during which the spirits of Mahatma Gandhi and Eleanor Roosevelt allegedly inhabited her.
Another American politician, George H.W. Bush, may owe his rise to power more to magic than to voters. Ronald Reagan, who served as president before Bush, wanted assurance that the American nation would be in good hands, so he sought advice from a medium on whom to choose as his successor. Joyce Jillson, his personal astrologer, recommended Bush, as his Gemini sign supposedly complemented Reagan’s Aquarius.
Jacques Chirac was also not immune to such fascinations. Viktor Chernomyrdin claimed that during negotiations, the former French president tried to influence him with certain magical gestures, but the Russian politician appeared resilient and did not succumb to hypnosis. Some reports suggest that Chirac learned gesture-based influence from the famous clairvoyant Elisabeth Teissier.
Saddam Hussein also relied on mysterious forces from the other world for protection. He implanted a parrot bone under the skin of his hand, believing, according to legend, that it would protect him from bullets.
