The Use of Mysticism to Manipulate People 

 Neothink

 In  South Africa religion and superstition are rife.Superstition (for example) is being used by the Pres. to coerce supporters and non-supporters by threatening them that they would be haunted by their ancestors if they did not vote for his political party in the elections. In another instance, one particular MEC wanted a commission of enquiry to investigate the puzzling phenomenon as to why more black people are being hit and killed by lightning than whites. Keep in mind that the ratio of the ethnic population distribution  is something like 8:2 :: black: white in South Africa. Furthermore, more black people than white people live in rural areas in traditional huts (non-Faraday shielded) in areas where fierce lightning storms generally occur in the summer. More. Witch doctors (traditional African Shamans) are involved during formal ceremonies, such as during the commencement of a new parliamentary session, party political meetings, etc. More manipulation. The educational system is being downgraded which allows for students (Grade 1 to 12) to pass at a low 30% mark. This gives SA a very good statistical pass rate. But then the problem arises when these (low pass) students want entrance to Universities where the educational standard is not being set by the Central Government. I hope this has provided you with food for thought as to how the outside "authorities" religion and governments manipulate people by means of "mysticism" for their ulterior motives. Religion (of the totalitarian type = Christianity and Muslim) and Governments want and desire a general population with a sheep mentality which makes them exploitable.
