CHRIST IS LORD nigga!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[junyto12]

si no salen a la luz como la gente va a entender lo que es santeria.

[luzyprogreso]

que falta de respeto! las ceremonias y rituales de santeria son secretas! que pena como la gente han adulterado esta fe! por eso andan como el cangrejo para atras!!!

[PutaLoca11]

These rituals should not be talked about under ignorant contexts. The symbolisms are very deep and not to be shared with non initiates. Blood sacrifice in African belife systems are to make those energies more potent. It's like when you feed people at you home for your holiday parties. These energies are the same. They are very distant ancesters and dieties incarnents that once lived on the earth. They have tremendous power and earned the respect from the people who worship them.

[nilbud]

@PutaLoca11 You're a fucking idiot.

[MsYellowsubmarine]

@nilbud her username says it all......"crazy b*tch" is what it says...

[PrismaticRAYS]

Catholics are usually the first to condemn these sacrifice rituals as Satanic or Paganistic, forgetting that the Eucharist is a cannabilistic ritual sacrifice, albeit, a symbolic one: Eat the body and drink the blood of Christ. The biggest difference is that the Eucharist is usually performed in a 20 million dollar church, while Voodoo sacrifice rituals often occur in a dingy, blood-soaked cellar or garage. But really, it's all the same thing: Superstition. Don't you think?

[nilbud]

@PrismaticRAYS No, You've failed to grasp the fundamental difference between monotheism and whatever voodoo nonsense these halfwits are up to.

[dpadro]

A babalawo is NOT the only one who can perform animal sacrifices.

[okadda333]

I agree...babalocha, iyalocha, iworo and some of them could do it...ashe

[puertoricoindepencia]

Yes they are, you have to get a license if your not a babalawo or its cosidered illegal even with freedom of religion

[dpadro]

you are very wrong. animal sacrifice IS protected by freedom of religion. babalawos can do it....santeros...rabbis....hal­al butchers...etc

[dpadro]

this is not true. we all are protected by freedom of religion in the matter of animal sacrifice. babalawo, olosha, etc. the only restrictions still in effect would be local ordinances involving having farm animals within city limits.

[chyna45]

wow these videos are suppose to be a bit of knowledge into this beautiful belief....we have messed up regimes and democracy...but this belief has nothing to do with that...

[azalori]

MopacMurtaza what you talking abaut Viva que.You living in the country where you can express your self the way you been doing now,unless when you move to Cuba take your computer with you and mail me later,let me know if you going to get the chance to connect first the computer,and later to connect your ASS in prison.And say VIVA LA PINGA CUBANA!!!que te van a dar.ASHE PARA TI,JEKUA OBATALA,IBORU.

[nilbud]

@azalori What was that you illiterate dupe?

[xxmike805xx]

Politics is gangs for rich people.

[manankita21]

THE BABALAAAAAAAAR!!! LMAO!!!

[beaubluenyc]

I know me too: OTFLMAO! What an Anglo dufus the narrator is. Sounds like he's from the mid-west with some of the pronunciations (i.e., Babalao, Santeria, etc.)

[MopacMurtaza]

Cuba es el mejor país del mundo!

¡Viva Fidel Castro!

y descansar en paz, Che Guevara!

[lukumi007]

Apparently you do not live on the island. You must like dictatorships that have no free speech or freedom of the press! Cubans on the island cannot view youtube or make commentary like you are making.

[MopacMurtaza]

Yeah just like your corporate media!

Never heard them report on how dangerous it is to drink fluoride!

And ain't it funny 50% of America's media (the large ones) are owned by 6 corporations!

So if they dont report on shit, the little papers in Kansas aint gonna report it either!

A VERY VERY free press! Yes!

Ain't never heard ANY media report, that the Federal Reserve has devalued the dollar ever since 1913, and robbing Americans of their walth!

Where is the freedom, my friend?

[lukumi007]

You never answered my point about free speech. The commentary you are making you cannot say against any government policy of the Cuban government you disagree with! I was born on the island. You have no clue!

[MopacMurtaza]

I would rather live in Cuba and not be able to critisize the regime for its policies (in which i agree!)

Than live in a country, where i pay taxes to make bombs that kill little children in Afghanistan and Iraq, and by the way, you clearly know shit about South America!

The puppet democracies put in place, while the US corporations stole the ressources of the countries and left the people poor!

Cuba never did that!

Viva La Cubano Revolución!

[MopacMurtaza]

And by the way, im moving to cuba in a couple of years! No bullshitting!

Viva La Cubano Revolución!

[lukumi007]

Go there now and disagree with the government! Second, start a different political party and try to get on the ballot. See what happens!

[MopacMurtaza]

I dont have to, i agree with the government!

[lukumi007]

You never lived there so you intellectualize. If you experienced what the average Cuban does you would have a rude awakening. I fought in Mozambique, a part of Fidel's special forces, you don't appreciate the free speech you are taking advantage of on this forum. Colonialism, capitalist interests combined with corrupt autocrats have hurt countries in the South, historically. But now, all are moving to exporting market economies! Take it from this ex-soldier, democracy is always better.

[MopacMurtaza]

Listen dude, you speak so highly of democracy, well tell me, more than 80% of Iraqis want the US troops out cause they do nothing but further the hatred and violence in the country, where is "democracy" in this puppet regime your new country just installed?

Where was democracy when, America forced Allende to kill himself?

Where was democracy when the US ousted Arbends and humiliatingly had him stripsearched in front of a camera, when he was the democratically elected President??

[MopacMurtaza]

I'm sorry but you have bought into capitalist deceit, this aint no democracy!!

look at the last election in 2004; Both candidates came from rich families, both went to the same elite university, and both were in the same secret society (skull & bones)

That ain't DEMOCRACY!!

[lukumi007]

You sound young and angry. I walked the walk for El Comandante. I am in my forties and have seen the lies of the communist system you love so much. A system you have never lived under and one I fought for as a soldier. As of today, the hard left that you espouse is failing globally! I voted with my feet. I became disenchanted with La Revolucion and left. You hate America so much why don't you vote with your feet and leave? I fought for Fidel. You NEVER did! My experience trumps your rhetoric.

[MopacMurtaza]

I'm so excited about Cuba cause i'm going there, trust me i'm not planning to stay in this capitalist for the poor and socialism for the rich, country!!

And i feel you, you experienced it and fought for it, but you must understand, my experiences of Cuba comes from books, and ideology, so i can't say you are wrong untill the day i get there myself! But because you protect a slavesystem, and a country wich is imperial in its nature, i cant trust you!

[lukumi007]

Ok, see for yourself. But, I still have relatives that live on the island and they tell me that within 5-7 years or less Cuba will be a free market economy. Whether it becomes like China or Poland in how they approach development is still an open question. "Siempre tenga los ojos abiertos amigo." A little friendly advice in the language of Latin American revolution.

[MopacMurtaza]

I will, keep my eyes open, but my last destination is the future Revolución of Haití!

It' propably will become, free market, with control from the government. But you gotta do what you gotta do, to survive and Raul understands that..

[lukumi007]

Good luck.

[jerrydon22]

Lukumi, Freedom of Speech is not guaranteed in usa or anywhere else. i believe it is in cuba more so than in the u.s.

Sami Al-Arian (so-called head of islamic jihad in america) was one of the biggest defenders of USA until they put him in prison on secret charges, with secret evidence for over 6 yrs. then he was found innocent & deported.

anyway, where ever we are it is a constant struggle to assert our independence while honoring & respecting our interdependence.

hotep niggas

[lukumi007]

Yes, there is no protected free speech amongst private actors in the U.S. And, when public actors are involved there are clear parameters to follow. Everything else can rebutted. Thanks for the comment.

[azalori]

MopacMurtaza or Nilbudo or como te llames. The Castro's Orgy is open anytime, enjoy your stay. Dont forget the vaseline.

It is amazing how Santeria has survived under Castro's oppresive regime
