No surprise as Zimbabwe rulers found to be idiots
The con-artist who convinced the Zimbabwean government that a special rock bled diesel fuel on demand, has been found guilty of fraud. The self-styled medicine woman, Rotina Mavhunga, claimed to have cast a spell on the rock which then oozed diesel when tapped with a stick. In fact, the tapping was a signal to hidden accomplice to pour the diesel into a concealed pipe. In a country with incredibly severe fuel supply problems, a mystical source of diesel would seem like an amazing boon – if you were a complete cretin.
Mad Bob Mugabe dispatched a high-powered task-force to investigate the claims. No ordinary task-force this: it comprised the Ministers of Energy and Power Development, Science and Technology, and of Mines. Their verdict: Zimbabwe’s fuel shortages were at an end. They obviously had applied their minds objectively to this investigation, starting with removing their shoes in the mystic-one’s presence.
So they lavished her with gifts and farms. Mugabe claims they were blinded by her beauty. Not to mention their deep belief in tribal superstitions, the ancestral spirits with which Mavhunga claimed to be imbued. Nevertheless, when some damned sceptic raised doubts, yet another panel was dispatched which this time concluded that it was all a con.
Arresting her proved to be beyond the police who were scared of her mystical powers and believed she was untouchable. She made a brief appearance in her trail, but was largely left alone in hiding. Her appearance though caused fear amongst the superstition-addled public:
During the trial, Mavhunga would start growling in the dock before the terror-stricken public gallery, but the magistrate said she had been faking a trance to try and have herself declared unfit for trial.
If you ever wondered how people could systematically destroy their country and not realise the consequences of their actions, you need wonder no further.

Tim, you are a stupid fool. If you had followed that story well, you would have realized that Rotina has some at least rudimentary mind control powers. Oh what, that is impossible, it can’t happen, it can’t be done!!!! Ha ha ha! You idiot, read up on secret service organisations from the west like the CIA, and you will find out that they have been researching with human psychic abilities and very successfully too, I am not talking about something fancy like that TV series Heroes, but I can tell you that mind readers and telepaths for example, exist. I met such people personally in Africa, Latin America and Asia (places where they did not burn about 10 million people who had pyschic abilities and the like).
Sure, you think Zimabweans and all blacks are idiots, I guess, but even then, how do you explain the way this woman fooled even scientists initially? And do you know that they had to trick her in order to arrest her finally, because the cops sent to get her could not do it initially. They would go to her and suddenly have panic and anxiety attacks until they were some distance away from her.
What, its just superstition. Yeah right, probably as we speak, the CIA has already “bought” her and are running tests and finding out how she does it.
Welcome to the real world, Tim! ANd um, go on Black Bashing or get on a plane and visit Rotwina in jail and ask her to “touch” your mind for you! See if you are still laughing, after she reads your thoughts, realizes you think terrible things about her and her country and her race, and decided to give you a little sweet present, mentally. The little brains you have could end up being fried so be careful. Better buy a tinfoil hat maybe.
Tell me what you're thinking...
