Real-Life Horror Story: ‘Demonic Possession, Exorcism and Blood Rituals’

Posted on | October 31, 2022 | Comments Off on Real-Life Horror Story: ‘Demonic Possession, Exorcism and Blood Rituals’

Murder suspects Dejaune Anderson (left) and Dawn Coleman.

It’s Halloween, but you don’t need ghost stories or scary movies to be afraid this year. There are real-life monsters out there in the world, and they are literally killing children:

A probable cause affidavit for suspect Dawn Coleman, who faces felony charges for neglect and obstruction of justice, paints a picture of the strange circumstances leading up to [5-year-old Cairo Ammar Jordan’s] death that led police to identify his mother [Dejaune Anderson] as a murder suspect. Posts about demonic possession, exorcism and blood rituals were used as evidence to develop probable cause to arrest Coleman and look for Anderson. Investigators also found photos of Anderson with the child on social media and Coleman with the distinct suitcase. . . .
Police obtained search warrants for the Facebook accounts of Dejaune Anderson and Dawn Coleman.
Investigators said Dejaune Anderson sent messages on her Facebook account. . . .
According to the affidavit, the [Feb. 19] post said:
“Can’t wait to tell my story: I had to raise my frequency, heal myself and past lives, heal my ancestors, heal (s***) in the universe, heal Gaia to exorcism a very powerful demonic force from within my son. (Had ppl in enough alignment with their soul to assist me.) Still I chose my soul and was able to completely heal myself and remove old paradigms from my mind. I know you can chose your soul with no questions asked.” . . .
Anderson had a run-in with South Carolina Highway Patrol [on March 12] and was charged with several traffic violations and child endangerment.
She was allegedly driving 92 miles per hour in a 60-mile-per-hour zone. Police said Dawn Elaine Coleman and a child, who Anderson said was her 5-year-old son, were also in the car. Troopers broke through the back driver’s side window when the women allegedly didn’t comply with police orders.
Anderson was booked into Colleton County Jail and Coleman and the child went to a hotel, according to the affidavit. . . .
After the South Carolina incident, police said Djaune Anderson posted:
“Stop getting caught up in the vessels of this realm. You guys get caught up with how old the body is, if they adult and kids, etc. Don’t even know it’s a full grown demon in the child body telling you what to do because you didn’t choose your soul. Better start using your 3rd eye.” . . .
Three days later police said there were several more posts:
“Can’t wait to tell this story”
“About that exorcism”
“A book about living with a demonic child”
“And a podcast” . . .

(Oh, of course — it’s 2022! You can’t exorcise the “full grown demon” from your 5-year-old without telling the story on a podcast!)

Police in Kentucky arrested Anderson [on March 31] less than one month after her incident in South Carolina when she allegedly tried to steal clothes from a Von Maur store and then punched a security officer in the face.
Police believe Anderson called Coleman from Jefferson County Kentucky Jail.
She led troopers on a chase for about 30 miles in a 2019 Dodge Challenger before she ran out of gas.
Police said Coleman made a post [April 8] on her Facebook account:
“Just because the avatar is of what we call a child does not mean that it is actually a child there are beings that are here that are not supposed to be here that pick avatars to hide behind to play roles to steal energy and to ruin lives you better check to see if the children that you think are children actually have souls or if they’re not menevolent beings with a soul and in a child Avatar. Magic is real curses are real and there are some very powerful evil beings there that will curse your womb and then some. Nothing is what It seems and we are catering to evil beings in children avatars that aren’t even children. Vail need to rise most of won’t most will be wiped out because of your demons in this paradigm has no room for that. AK MG.” . . .
The day Anderson was released [from jail on April 11], police said she posted:
“Just got out of a jail mission”
“Yes had to do some healing and killing” . . .
Police used cell phone data from two cell phone numbers they said Anderson and Coleman used. [On April 14, the women] were in the area [Cairo Jordan’s] body was found from around 4:30 p.m. to 5:15 p.m.
Video from a neighbor’s home shows a car on Holder road at around 4:53 p.m. Police said it stopped where the suitcase was found. . . .
The post [on Anderson’s Facebook account April 15] said:
“This is a whole demon in a child body. Why you think she need a cigarette?! ! Losing energy huh! 64 years old in a child body. Was full of gifts and magickal rites stronger than many of you because your frequency not high enough. Start asking spirit to reveal these things to you hiding behind a body.”
April 16, 2022: Body of Cairo Jordan found in suitcase in Indiana
A man who said he was mushroom hunting on his property found the suitcase on Holder Road in Washington County, Indiana.
The man told investigators he opened the suitcase and found a pillow with a black trash bag inside. He made the horrifying discovery after ripping the bag open.
That same day, investigators said the Dodge Challenger registered to Anderson was captured driving on Interstate 65 from Indiana to Kentucky at about 8:16 p.m.

Before we discuss anything else, let me ask this obvious question: How were these two women paying their bills? In March, they were busted by state troopers in South Carolina. Three weeks later, they led Kentucky state troopers on a 30-mile chase. They were driving a late-model Dodge Challenger which, even if they bought it used, would cost around $30,000. Are you driving a high-powered sports car? You go to work five days a week to pay your bills, right? But can you afford to just drive all over the place — South Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana, etc. — in a late-model Dodge Challenger while occasionally trying to outrun the police? No, I’m pretty sure you couldn’t afford that lifestyle. So the question arises, how were Dejaune Anderson and Dawn Coleman paying their bills during this multi-week cross-country expedition?

My brother Kirby called this story to my attention, and wondered how it was that authorities in South Carolina and Kentucky who arrested Dejaune Anderson never called in child protective services? Like, here’s a woman driving 92 mph with her 5-year-old child in the car, and that’s not child endangerment? And while we’re asking questions, didn’t any of these cops notice that Dejaune Anderson is a raving lunatic?

And yet this lunatic is still at large:

A nationwide search is underway for the mother of a young boy found dead in a suitcase, a son she claimed to be possessed. . . .
Anderson is five-feet-five inches tall, weighs 135 pounds, with short dark brown hair. She’s known to wear wigs and hair extensions. Police said she was last seen in Los Angeles, and known to travel around California, as well as Las Vegas and Houston. . . .
Police arrested a second suspect, identified as 40-year-old Dawn Elaine Coleman, in San Francisco. She’s also facing charges of neglect of a dependent resulting in death, and obstruction of justice.

Again — Los Angeles, San Francisco, Vegas, Houston — these women just traveled around all over the country in their late-model sports car, and nobody seems even slightly curious about how they could afford to live this way. Did they hit the lottery? Or perhaps they fraudulently obtained some COVID-19 bailout money? Because my hunch is that these psychotic freaks were not engaged in any sort of lucrative legal employment, and with gas at $4 a gallon, it must have cost quite a lot to drive all over the country in a 6.2-liter hemi Dodge Challenger.

Especially when “very powerful evil beings . . . curse your womb.”

Remember: Crazy People Are Dangerous.

Rule 5 Sunday: Gisele Bundchen

Posted on | October 31, 2022 | 1 Comment

— compiled by Wombat-socho

As noted by American Power Blog on Friday, Gisele Bundchen is on the market again. The pioneering Brazilian supermodel, who deserves praise for single-handedly ending the scourge of the “heroin chic” era of modeling, apparently got tired of Tom Brady’s shit, or vice versa, and since I don’t follow celebrity news any more, I don’t know and don’t care which is true. I feel sorry for the kids, though. Divorce always messes up the kids. Anyway, here’s a pic of Ms. Bundchen from her younger days; she’s still hot, but dressing more modestly these days.

Not a great week for my Senators, but not an awful one either: split a pair of games with Boston and lost two out of three at Philadelphia, but except for the final game in Philly the losses were all close. We may be losing the Atlanta and Philadelphia managers for the 1971 season, so if you’re interested, hit me up and I’ll put you in touch with Pete.

Is It #FreeStacy Time Yet?

Posted on | October 29, 2022 | 2 Comments

“For dishonest women like Anita Sarkeesian, feminism is a sort of alchemy by which bullshit is transformed into cash, and she has collected hundreds of thousands of dollars for her ‘non-profit’ activism. How do you suppose such a shrewd opportunist would react to the suggestion that she might have some role in the apparent crackdown on Twitter dissent? Ms. Sarkeesian (a) accused her critics of being paranoid conspiracy theorists, and (b) offered her own paranoid conspiracy theory.”
— Robert Stacy McCain, Feb. 26, 2016

More than six years have passed since my @rsmccain account was permanently banned from Twitter, informed that I had been “found to be violating … our rules around participating in targeted abuse,” although they never did tell me (a) who had been “targeted,” (b) how they were “abused,” or (c) how I had been “participating” in this alleged abuse.

There is no due process, you see, when the Left decides it’s time to silence their enemies. You are a Thought Criminal, and therefore you don’t even deserve to know what you did to justify the punishment, which is determined by an unnamed “Trust & Safety” monitor whose judgment cannot be appealed. There is no habeas corpus, as it were, no hearing where the accused has a right to see the evidence against him, no opportunity to cross-examine witnesses, no chance to get justice.

At the time of my banishment in February 2016, friends on Twitter remarked that they had observed nothing unusual in my Twitter stream in the days preceding this sudden and inadequately explained ban. Unlike some other high-profile cases of people banned from Twitter, there was no flagrantly objectionable tweet that anyone could point to and say, “Oh, that is why they banned him.” Of course, I had spent the previous couple of years in a full-frontal attack on radical feminism, and in the process had been drawn into the #GamerGate controversy, but in all those months of online combat, I didn’t “dox” anyone or whatever. So what was this “abuse” in which I “participated,” and who was “targeted”? Your guess is as good as mine. Oh, sure I “deadnamed” a few trannies and said rude things about Laurie Penny and Ella Dawson, but lots of people do stuff like that without getting a lifetime ban from Twitter.

Perhaps now that Elon Musk has purchased Twitter, there will be some sort of accountability for what I contend was a gross violation of my rights, for which several people urged me to file a lawsuit, a course of action I declined, knowing that the miscreants responsible would some day face justice — the wheel of karma would turn — because of a simple truth of the universe: Bad things happen to bad people.

You may have never heard the name Vijaya Gadde, but she was the Twitter executive responsible for their “Trust & Safety” policies. Among other things, Gadde was directly involved in the January 2021 decision to ban President Trump from Twitter, and she was among the first people that Elon Musk fired when he took over the company. Of course, she was guaranteed a “golden parachute” severance payment, and denies that she was a sinister force for censorship, but she can take her ill-gotten gains and wicked reputation somewhere else — a university professorship, perhaps — where there is no requirement that she act honestly or ethically. Vijaya Gadde is an evil person, who enforced a wicked policy, and fucking me over is perhaps not the worst thing she did, but I’d like to imagine that banning me (or, at least, approving the decision to ban me) was ultimately the first blunder that set her on her way to catastrophe.

Deranged Canadian Nudist Breaks Into Nancy Pelosi’s SF Mansion and Attacks Her Husband With Hammer

Posted on | October 29, 2022 | 4 Comments

Say hello to 42-year-old David DePape, who grew up in the town of Powell River, British Columbia (population 13,157), then went to Hawaii before moving to Berkeley, California, with a girlfriend about 20 years ago. By 2008, DePape was associated with a group of nudism activists including Olessia “Gypsy” Taub, who once hosted a public-access TV program called 9/11 Uncensored in which she appeared naked while claiming that the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks were “an inside job.”

DePape is a drug addict who at one point supported himself by making and selling hemp bracelets. Not exactly your typical Trump voter, but over the past year, his craziness went off in another direction, and he began posting weird online screeds about Jews and COVID-19 and stolen elections and the corrupt “elite,” which explains why MSNBC and all the other liberal media are trying to blame Republicans — !!! — for this kook’s violent rampage early Friday morning:

Investigators were searching for clues into what drove a 42-year-old man to allegedly bludgeon Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s husband, Paul Pelosi, with a hammer after breaking into the couple’s San Francisco home early Friday morning.
Officials identified the suspect as David DePape, a local man with ties to a nudist movement and whose social media accounts suggest a predilection for far-right conspiracy theories and a fixation on government surveillance.
Paul Pelosi was expected to make a full recovery after undergoing a successful surgery to repair a skull fracture and injuries to his right arm and hands, Nancy Pelosi’s office said in a statement Friday afternoon. DePape, who was arrested at the Pelosi’s home, is in custody after being booked on a long list of charges, including attempted murder. . . .
Relatives of DePape reached by The Chronicle said they were shocked by the allegations, and described a man who was estranged from family members but was not known to be violent.
While the motive was not immediately apparent, DePape’s social media screeds and alleged statements at the Pelosi home — reports citing unnamed sources quoted him as asking “where is Nancy” upon entering the home — swiftly ignited speculation of a politically motivated attack.
San Francisco Police Chief Bill Scott said when officers arrived before 3 a.m. Friday, they found an adult male and Paul Pelosi both holding a hammer. The assailant allegedly pulled the hammer from Pelosi and beat him with it, Scott said.

Oh, “a politically motivated attack” by a Canadian, who may not even have been in the United States legally? By all means, let’s round up all the Canadians and ship them back to the god-forsaken arctic wilderness they came from, because who knows what danger might be posed to public safety by these foreign interlopers? And while we’re at it, we can imprison all the nudists and finally enact the kind of “common-sense hammer safety” laws this country has needed for so long.

But, no, these aren’t the kind of measures being discussed in the mainstream media, who are obsessed with the idea that this Berkeley kook’s attack on Nancy Pelosi’s husband must be blamed on Republicans.

Accused Pelosi attacker

other far-right, bigoted conspiracies
— Los Angeles Times

Paul Pelosi’s Alleged Attacker Raged
About ‘Pedos,’ Shared QAnon Beliefs
— Rolling Stone

Man Accused of Attacking Nancy Pelosi’s
Husband Left Trail of Far-Right Hate
— Vice

You get the drift here. Even as I write this, you can be certain that every liberal pundit in the country is hard at work on a 1,500-word think piece about how Republicans have “normalized political violence” — the J6 Capitol riots — and why we need to suppress “misinformation” on social media that causes “stochastic terrorism.” Almost certainly, some of these pundits will connect the criminal actions of David DePape to Elon Musk’s purchase of Twitter, even though there’s no indication that Twitter had anything to do with DePape’s berserk rampage.

Many liberals are as crazy as David DePape in the way they constantly seek to “connect the dots” between things that aren’t actually connected. Their minds are a jumbled mess of conspiracy theories, where “corporate greed,” “Big Oil,” “Christian fundamentalists,” and especially “RAAAAACISM!” are all connected together to explain why any opposition to the Democratic Party still exists in America.

Speaking of connections, did you know that researchers have linked frequent cannabis consumption with schizophrenia? Might this be more than coincidentally connected to the case of David DePape? Nobody in the mainstream media is going to make that connection, despite DePape’s known history of drug abuse, because it might distract from the “Blame Republicans” narrative they’re using to frame this incident as a potential game-changer for the midterm elections.

Y’know, I don’t believe in conspiracy theories, but excuse me if I question the timing of David DePape’s attack at Pelosi’s mansion. It reminds me of how, just before the 2018 midterms — Oct. 27, almost four years to the day before DePape’s rampage — a guy suddenly decided it was time to go shoot up a Pittsburgh synagogue. So we’ve seen this happen in two consecutive midterms, where a random kook suddenly decides that the last week of October is an excellent time to “strike a blow” for whatever lunatic cause he considers himself to represent. Those who recall the history of MK-ULTRA and COINTELPRO might be inspired to wonder if the use of agents provocateurs by the federal national security apparatus (a/k/a “The Deep State”) could somehow be implicated in this curious pattern. But if you start thinking too hard about this stuff — especially if you’re smoking some high-powered sinsemilla while you’re thinking about it — you might drive yourself completely crazy.

And, as we all know, Crazy People Are Dangerous.

UPDATE: The media “explainers” have been busy galloping ahead with their “Pin-the-Tail on the Republicans” game:

Pelosi attack didn’t happen in a vacuum,
but in an ‘ecosystem’ of misinformation
and extremist views gone mainstream,
experts on far-right groups say

This is an instant classic of the genre — illustrated with a photo of the J6 riot, just in case anybody missed the point — where the reader is given the impression that the only “extremist views” in America are those associated with the “far right” (i.e., Republicans). The “experts” cited include Carolyn Gallaher, a professor at American University and Eric Ward, “senior advisor to Western States Center and expert on extremism,” who delivers this tasty quote:

“It may seem shocking that this incident happened but when you look at the months of political rhetoric by individuals campaigning for office, and the rhetoric from folks like Tucker Carlson on Fox News, you can’t be surprised that someone took this rhetoric and then turned it into an action plan,” Ward told Insider. “This is exactly what we’re seeing and as predictable as the sun rising again.”

As if we know that the suspect was a Fox News viewer, because so many dopehead nudists in Berkeley are big Tucker Carlson fans.

UPDATE: Welcome, Instapundit readers!
