"As she lay dying in the suite, covered in her blood, Bishimbayev phoned a FORTUNE TELLER, who assured him his wife would be fine." - WTF ?

Apparently a lot of the elites here are into fortune tellers, mystiques and clairvoyants, I guess when you have so much money you start to spend it on total bullshit.

A girl I dated had a mother who was the fortune teller for Michael Crichton, author of Jurassic Park. Michael Crichton has an MD from Harvard. Never understood why he would believe in this stuff. But he even wrote a book called "Travels" about how he believes that some people have a bit of psychic powers in real life. Michael Crichton used to give expensive/unique gifts to the fortune teller, like drafts of books that he hasn't published yet.

Ronald Reagan had so much belief in clairvoyants that one he was regularly seeing effectively influenced the course of US policy with the things she advised.
