Alternative news sources spent
the day flooding Twitter with a WikiLeaks email that proves Hillary Clinton and
her campaign are Satanists who participate in witchcraft. Click the link below.

The Drudge Report, featured as its lead story a
headline suggesting that Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta had been
involved with occult activities linked to Satanism, complete with a photo of Hillary Clinton raging, arms
outstretched, to the skies, above.
Fox News's Sean Hannity tweeted a story from
his own website, along with
its headline: "LEAKED EMAIL appears to link Clinton Campaign
Chairman to bizarre occult ritual"
The hashtag #SpiritCooking was the No. 2 trend
in the United States on Twitter at press time.
The evidence hinges on a WikiLeaks email hacked from Podesta’s account, in
which his brother, high-powered lobbyist Tony Podesta, asks if he was free to
attend a “spirit cooking dinner” hosted by performance artist Marina Abramović.
“I am so looking forward to the Spirit Cooking dinner at my place. Do you
think you will be able to let me know if your brother is joining? All my love,
Marina,” writes the artist, in June 2015. Tony forwards the email to his
brother to ask—the entirety of the evidence to suggest that the Clinton
campaign’s senior operative is involved with the occult.
“Are we
gonna have anything covered in the mainstream media about this? Is John Podesta
gonna address this?” InfoWars’
Owen Shroyer asked. “Is the ‘artist’ that is performing the
occultist rituals gonna address this? Or are they just gonna ignore this and
act like it never happened?”
The Clinton campaign declined to comment for
this story.
On Friday, Drudge’s top story was a link to
InfoWars’ story about “spirit cooking.” The headline reads: “WIKI WICCAN:
PODESTA PRACTICES OCCULT MAGIC.”
Podesta’s ties to Satanism might make sense if
you already believed that Hillary Clinton was a committed member of a coven. A
story citing a “Clinton insider” Larry
Nichols, published at
InfoWars on Friday
stated that “Hillary ‘regularly’ attended witch’s church.”
The ties to alleged occultism refer to
Abramović’s 1997 work, available on
YouTube and named
Spirit Cooking, where she paints a wall with blood to write sentences
like “with a sharp knife cut deeply into the middle finger of your left hand
eat the pain.” The Podesta email suggests a repeat performance featuring
Abramović.
Menstrual
blood, semen and breast milk: Most bizarre Wikileaks revelation yet.
In what is undoubte dly the most
bizarre Wikileaks revelation to date, Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta, pictured above with his wife, was invited to a “spirit cooking dinner” by performance artist Marina Abramovic, to take part in an
occult ritual founded by Satanist Aleister Crowley.
What is “spirit cooking”?
Spirit cooking refers to “a sacrament
in the religion of Thelema which was founded by Aleister Crowley” and involves
an occult performance during which menstrual blood, breast milk, urine and
sperm are used to create a “painting”.
According to Marina Abramovic, if the
ritual is performed in an art gallery, it is merely art, but if the ritual is performed
privately, then it represents an intimate spiritual ceremony.
The video embedded above depicts the
bizarre nature of the ceremony. Abramovic mixes together thickly congealed
blood as the “recipe” for the “painting,” which is comprised of the words,
“With a sharp knife cut deeply into the middle finger of your left hand eat the
pain.”
The ceremony is, “meant to symbolize
the union between the microcosm, Man, and the macrocosm, the Divine, which is a
representation of one of the prime maxims in Hermeticism “As Above, So Below.”
“Abramovic is known for her often-gory art that confronts pain and ritual.
Her first performance involved repeatedly, stabbing herself in her hands. The
next performance featured her throwing her nails, toenails, and hair into a
flaming five-point star — which she eventually jumped inside of, causing her to
lose consciousness,” writes Cassandra Fairbanks.
Another image, below, shows Abramovic posing with a bloody goat’s head – a
representation of the occult symbol Baphomet.
Spirit cooking is also an “occult
practice used during sex cult rituals, as explained in the book “Spirit cooking
with essential aphrodisiac recipes,” notes Mike Cernovich.
The revelation that John Podesta, Hillary
Clinton’s campaign chairman, is presumably interested in weird, gory occult
ceremonies was too juicy for even Wikileaks to ignore.
“The Podestas’ “Spirit Cooking”
dinner? It’s not what you think. It’s blood, sperm and breastmilk. But mostly
blood,” the organization tweeted.
“You've got to be pretty
secure to have an eight-foot-tall naked man in your living room in Washington,
D.C.," Heather says of her husband's choice.
What Heather suggests as a
badge of her mate's confidence is a highly intentional statement. After all,
Tony's job is to make an impression. Besides, when the piece isn't generating
blushes, it's generating conversation.
"At political events, there's an
inevitable awkwardness," former Clinton administration official Sally
Katzen said at a Women's Campaign Fund dinner at the Podestas' home this
summer. "The art is an ice-breaker. It puts people at ease."
Not always. Folks attending
a house tour in the Lake Barcroft neighborhood in Falls Church earlier this
year got an eyeful when they walked into a bedroom at the Podesta residence
hung with multiple color pictures by Katy Grannan, a photographer known for
documentary-style pictures of naked teenagers in their parents' suburban homes.
"They were
horrified," Heather recalls, a grin spreading across her face.
If Tony and Heather enjoy
in-your-face art, they also reward their artists. The Podestas are eager to
assist those they've earmarked as promising, and donate time and resources to
the cause.
During last year's Venice
Biennale, they threw parties night after night, renting out their favorite
restaurant and packing it with artists and a gallerist or two. Here in
Washington, they've hosted art parties with Patricia Puccini, Cathy de
Monchaux, Anna Gaskell, Frank Thiel, Annee Olofsson, Nikki Lee and others.
Curators from the Hirshhorn Museum and Corcoran Gallery of Art, top Washington
collectors and the city's best dealers regularly show up. Podesta parties are
where connections are made.
"I see lobbying as
getting information in the hands of people who are making decisions so they can
make more informed decisions," Tony says. "We do that a lot with
museums."
The couple also donates.
About 300 pieces that have passed through Tony's hands are now in museum
collections. Locally, the Corcoran Gallery of Art and the National Museum of
Women in the Arts have benefited most.
"Tony loves the
artists themselves as much as the artworks," John Podesta says. Earlier
this month, the couple held a party and opening at their Falls Church home in
honor of 34-year-old District artist Avish Khebrehzadeh.
Tony and Heather liked her
work when they saw it at last year's Venice Biennale, where the artist received
one the event's prestigious awards, so her Washington dealer set up a visit.
That day with Tony in the studio, Khebrehzadeh mentioned wanting to work on a
large scale but not having adequate studio space. So Tony offered her the keys
to his Falls Church home, with its ample basement. Last winter, Khebrehzadeh
spent weekdays at the house working.
Now it's time to show
those works and her dealer's walls aren't big enough, either. So Khebrehzadeh's
exhibition opened earlier this month at the Podestas' house, in the very space
where the art was made. Visitors may make appointments to see the show.
Other artists have similar
stories. For Belgrade-based up-and-comer Vesna Pavlovic, Heather helped secure
a show at Sacramento's Crocker Art Museum (Heather once worked for the
congressman who represents the area). For art stars Jane and Louise Wilson, the
couple pulled some Washington strings to ensure the duo had access to Las Vegas
casinos for a video shoot.
"It's inspiring to
meet a collector so involved in his own career and, parallel to that, in the
arts as well," says video artist and painter Sarah Morris, speaking from
Berlin, where she opened a show last week. "He's very committed."
Morris approached Tony in
2000 with her idea for the film "Capital." The piece ended up as an
18-minute look into Washington's corridors of power, much of it thanks to
strategy sessions with Tony at which Morris would identify the places she
wanted to shoot and Tony would tell her how likely she'd be to get in.
"Tony speaks in
percentiles," Morris explains. "I'd say 'Cabinet Room,' and he'd be,
like, '30 percent.' I'd say 'Pentagon,' and he'd say '60 percent.' "
Co-conspiratorial leanings
aside, Tony likes to see his artists' results and will travel to openings to
support them. "Sometimes our life feels like an art travelogue," Tony
says of the constant back-and-forth.
"He travels more than
any artist I know. And artists travel a lot," Morris says. "Tony
would show up and surprise you."
But these days, Tony's
focus is the battleground state of Pennsylvania and getting his candidate
elected.
South Korea's Gwangju
Biennial, which opened earlier this month, is the kind of show that normally
would prompt Tony to get on a plane. "If it weren't for Kerry, I'd be
going," Tony says with a hint of regret. It's one of the few times that
art has had to slide
