Would you agree, some of us knew what they were setting themselves up for, including Credo, but couldn't really say anything? When exactly did he
write this poem Madleo, do you know? If it was then already, I find it curious that it's only getting noticed now. I'd like to also know your
thoughts on the Ron Paul phenomena, that seems scarily the same as Obama's was 3 years ago.
I'm sorry, I assumed you were American's, us SA'ians are few in far in-between here on ATS. Anyway, feel free to PM me, in order for the thread to
stay on topic of Credo's poem. I find it interesting that he had this view on Obama, then already. This poem is fascinating. Not much rhyming
going on, I think this is not so much a poem, but a prophecy written in the form of a poem, would you agree?
Oh, did you hear the latest? Pres. Zuma, said, that he wanted traditional medicines to be standardised, in order for traditional medicines to be a)
more widely available to everyone, which means if that happens even pharmacies will be able to sell it and b) we'd have good traditional medicines,
without the funky stuff that other not so good witchdoctors use
. Opposite of what's happening in States, right? I think Credo might have
something to do with that, it's only natural to assume, may be wrong though, that the leader of the witchdoctors in SA would be connected to the
pres. himself, right? Personally, I think it's a good thing, we're being pumped full of too much chemicals as it is, the market can make a little
space for some herbal traditional medicines. At the same time, I'm not one to punt herbal medicines above the chemicals. I think there should be a
balance, for minor things small things, there is nothing wrong to try something natural first, on the other end of the stick, for serious things like
when you need antibiotics, I wouldn't advise against it. Herbals can only help so much. I'd advise however after a course of antibiotics to
restore the body's natural flora again though. I personally thumbs up the pres for this decision.
I want to repeat what i said in the other thread, I never said that I think Credo is bad, but all that's happening connected to witchdoctors
elsewhere in Africa, I don't think it's a bad idea to use caution. From this poem, however, I would lean again to the other side, and say, he
sounds like a good guy. I am really undecided on it. I just think that we need to practice caution and have our eyes and ears open. I am totally
against claiming that witchdoctors are shaman, because there is a massive difference, the world seems to think that it's the same thing, it is not,
and to make that mistake could be disastrous. You could be allowing a dark witchdoctor in as a good guy, by simply reasoning that it's a shaman.
The world needs to understand the difference, to think of witchdoctors as shaman, you are in essence okaying what's happening in Uganda for example
where dark witchdoctors are slaughtering children and babies. To say a witchdoctor is a shaman, would in effect categorise shamen all over the world,
part of what dark witchdoctors in Africa are doing. One HAS to distinguish between the two, you can not clump them together as the same, they're not
the same, and if people don't start practicing differentiation now, it'll become a complete dis-information thing. Once the world goes on the
offensive against witchdoctors because of what's happening in Uganda type of thing, you'll find people clumping shaman in with the bad guys. Truth
is, shaman is a completely separate issue, with witchdoctors you have good and bad ones and one has to excercise caution. I don't think that's
wrong, and that's all I was trying to say in the other thread, but I wanted ppl to delve into the issue themselves, because a lot of the time, ppl
won't listen when you try to tell them something, they have to discover it on their own, from the OP's words, it seemed to me that he might be one
that needs to discover something like what I have to say, on his own, I was just simply asking him to do that.
So, to the OP I hope you understand now, why I was saying, when it comes to witchdoctors, you need to practice caution, from the poem, I'd say Credo
looks like a good guy, still you can't let your guard down, how many times have we been fooled before? Obama is a very good example at being
excellent at fooling people. In general we need to excercise caution, I'm asking that when it comes to witchdoctors, we act no different and
excercise caution. There are good ones and there are bad ones, it's not like you can visually tell them apart, with dress code and general typical
witchdoctor stuff, therefore the only thing you've got is to be cautious no matter how good or bad they seem and that counts for all ppl not just
witchdoctors.
Why do people put strangers on a pedestal? Would you put a psycho on a pedestal? Or a pedophile? No? How do you know the
strangers you are putting on pedestals are not something dire?
