MADONNA'S KABBALAH CENTER CULT IS SPINNING OUT OF CONTROL!!

"The View From Here" [TVFH] blog finds a Kabbalah Centre press release revealing that not only does the Centre have a thriving magical water and red string retailing business and an uncanny knack for drawing hollow-eyed celebrity followers, they've got designs on solving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. TVFH chides the Israeli politicians who are participating in the event and notes that their publicist could have used a proofreader: "I understand that Ehud Olmert's and Tzachi Hanegbi's names might be a bit difficult to spell, but they could have at least spelled Donna Karan's name correctly. Great spelling on Druze and Sufi as well."

September 19, 2004 will be an historic day for peace and unity. For the first time in history Palestinian and Israeli children, who have spent years separated by hate, prejudice, and fear, are coming together in Israel to say, "STOP, we've had enough, now it is OUR turn to be HEARD!" [...]

Joining [Kabbalah Centre guru] Michael Berg for this monumental event will include political and social leaders: Shimon Peres, Silvan Shalom, Sachi Hanegbi, and Eaud Olmart as well as high-profile celebrities such as Madonna, Guy Ritchie, and Donna Karen and many others. Hosted by Dan Shilon, the evening will include speeches from Madonna; Elies Jabol, a Christian Arab who is the head of House and Hope and peace agreement leader in the Middle East; Shiek Manasra, a Soufe Sheik and Sheik
Abulrocan, a Drues Sheik.

And if that dazzling star power isn't enough to make everyone lay down their car bombs, rocks and tear gas cannisters, they're going to fly in Demi, Ashton, and Britney to finish it off. Never underestimate the peacemaking powers of Red Bull and Cheetos.

If all of this isn't enough to make you gag, it seems that one of Madonna's Kabbalah robots went on a killing spree...

Double Killer 'Attended Madonna Spiritual Centre'
A woman who killed her great-grandmother and former boyfriend had attended the controversial Kabbalah Centre made famous by Madonna. Fashion student Phiona Davis, 25, told her doctor she was being “controlled” and people from the London spiritual centre were walking around her flat, the Old Bailey heard.

A few months later, Davis stabbed telephone salesman Keith Fernandez 58 times in front of horrified neighbours at her home in Green Lanes, Palmers Green, north London. The attack on Mr Fernandez, 27, of Seven Kings, east London, continued after he ran off into the street. The next day, October 13 last year, Davies killed her great-grandmother Mary Skerritt, 81, by stabbing her 130 times. She placed a number of crosses around the floor and started fires around Mrs Skerritt’s flat, said David Evans QC, prosecuting. Outside the flat in Spencer Grove, Stoke Newington, north London, she held her hands outstretched like Christ, saying: “I am the Messiah”, said Mr Evans.

FINALLY, the Jewlicious blog reports a Madonna sighting...in Jerusalem. Looks like she's making good on her promise to spend the coming Rosh Hashanah holiday in Israel, selling magical bottles of water and red string bracelets (and probably some incense to balance her inventory) from a dirty blanket on the sidewalk.
