From black magic to politic


Ever heard the name of Ki Gendeng Pamungkas? A well-known paranormal from Bogor Indonesia, well a sootsayer in fact. The last spectacular news about him, was his plan to soothsay former USA President George Bush, when he visited Indonesia on November 2006. What a soothsayer hehehe. However, I'm not going to talk about that silly act again. It's about his courage to register himself as Independent candidate for Regent Election of Bogor periode 2008 - 2013. He makes use of this chance as Indonesian goverment emerge open - politic policy, which gives the chance for anybody as an independent candidate in election. No wonder he has this courage, guess why. He's rich enough, his wealthy is about 16,8 billions rupiah. This is more than enough to reach his goal. He already reported his weathy to the Corruption Eradication Commission [KPK]. When he was asked about the reason, he simply anwered that he wants to bring a progress for Rain City - Bogor. Then when he was asked about where 16,8 billions come from, he kept it as a secret. He just said that he's anticorruption as well as anti new-order. Ki Gendeng couples with Chusaeri, as a Vice Regent. They are succeed in physical as well as pshychological test, held on Tuesday til Thursday [August 12nd - 15th]. They will compete with four couples, Diani Budiarto - Ahmad Ru'yat, Ahani - Iis Supriatini, Dody Rosadi - Erick Irawan Suganda, and also Syafei Brtasenjaya - Akik Darul Tahkik. At first, Actually Ki Gendeng was about to back off, since he was lack of support. These recent days, he withdraw the statement and than go on, as he got divine inspiration from a ritual at Bogor Botanical Garden. The divine inspiration asked him to free citizen of Bogor, from poverty [60% of Bogor Citizen live under poverty line] and to create pro - citizen birocration. Hmmm, isnt that interesting. I cant imagine, how a soothsayer handle a region with anything close to magic. For example, if there's a oposition, could be easily soothsayed. Who dare to fight against? I guess nobody wont. Though, magic's illogic, in fact it could kill somebody in strange way. Even doesnt make any sense. Well, just wondering, after trend of artist - turn to - politician, then paranomal, what's next? A whore? Hehhehehe...could be a brilliant idea, since whore has a lot of fans too. :P
