A Curse on Bush

ABC News’ Jessica Yellin Reports:  Apparently disappointed that anti-Bush protests in Jakarta weren’t keeping the president away from Indonesia, an Indonesian magic-spell casting priest known as a "Dukun" conducted an animal sacrifice and bloodletting ceremony to jinx the president, his aides, and their Secret Service during their visit to Indonesia.

The video shows "renowned black magic practitioner" Ki Gendeng Pamungkas slitting the throats of a goat and a snake, stabbing a black crow, and mixing their blood with spices and broccoli. He then drinks the concoction and smears it on his face.

Pamungkas said, "I want to make the Secret Service possessed by spirits, make them fall into a trance and believe that Bush is under attack and cause an unwanted incident."

"I don’t hate Americans, but I don’t like Bush," he said.  "Nobody asked me to do this, and no interest is behind me. I’ve seen what he’s done in Afghanistan and Iraq."

Of the ritual, Pamungkas said: "It will succeed. The devil is with me today."

President Bush is scheduled to stop in Jakarta and Bogor early Monday morning for a meeting with Indonesian President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyno.  Bush is not too popular in Indonesia, the world’s most-populous Muslim nation. Student protesters have called on the Indonesian president to cancel Bush’s visit, and the U.S. embassy has warned that protests could become violent.

To date there has been no official embassy warning on black magic jinxes.
