    Alleged Astral and Magic Attacks Hit Thailand Prime Minister - Reports

    SPUTNIK NEWS
    News / Sputnik News 20/02/18

    Thai police are looking for a man who allegedly performed a magic ritual on the premises of the Prime Minister's office, according to the Star, Malaysian newspaper.



    An unknown man lit 36 incense sticks on the premises of the Thai Khu Fah building, the main office of Prime Minister General Prayut Chan-o-cha performing some kind of "superstitious ritual" supposedly against the junta government, despite the official ban on the lighting of incense in the area.

    The Prime Minister's Secretariat ordered an investigation and the police are checking the surveillance cameras to find the person or people who lit the incense sticks under flower bushes in front of the building.

    It is noteworthy to mention, that the day before a lotus basin in the area was accidentally broken by a car, which is considered a dark foreboding, a bad omen, especially during the public holidays of the Chinese New Year.

    The same day general Prayut ordered to hang up Chinese-style red lanterns at the building's gates, but he mentioned, that the lanterns were only for decorative purposes and not related to any form of superstition. In Chinese traditional ceremonies, red lanterns scare away demons and attract good luck.

    The Constitutional Court on May 7, 2014, forced the former Prime Minister of Thailand Yingluck Shinawatra to resign, followed by a military coup that took place in the country on May 22.

    It will be intersting to see if Prayut is wearing any (or more) amulets tomorrow.
    And if a contingent of monks is invited to the premises.

    This ritual with one incense stick is a disappointment.

    The curses cast in the past on the government, when people burned chili and salt or left bones of dead people in the stairways of government buildings were more effective.

    How do they know/why do they think the "superstitious ritual" was supposed to be against the junta government? Why not for it or for something else?

    Yep. It may have been a blessing and good wishes incantation.
    But I guess guilty consciences expect people to have malevolent feelings towards them.

    Apparently the number 36 is bad luck.
    3, 6's = 666. The sign of the devil.
    The sum of numbers 1 to 36 gives 666, the number of the Beast in the Revelation.

    The numerical values of Hebrew words AEL meaning tent or tabernacle, AIKE meaning "how?", ALE meaning to curse, BDL meaning to separate, ELA meaning to remove, and VIDVI meaning confession, gives each one 36.


    Occurrence

    The number 36 is used 2 times in the Bible.

    The word beast is used 36 times in the Revelation, the name of Satan, 36 times in the NT and the word faith, 36 times in the OT. The word fall is used 36 times in the Bible. In the NRSV, the word devil is used 36 times, and the word Satan, 36 times in the NT.

    I very much doubt that that is true for the hundreds of different versions of the Bible.
