A practitioner of the black arts and a drug smuggler were prevented from entering Costa Rica this past weekend by officers from the Lince (Lynx) motorcycle law enforcement section of Panama’s National Police. According to a news release from the EFE Spanish news bureau published by Primera Hora of Puerto Rico, the duo were attempting to introduce 233 kilograms of cocaine into Costa Rica.

 

The names of the Colombian suspects have not been released; however, it has been reported that the woman is an international conjurer of spells retained by drug cartels to harness occult forces against law enforcement agents in the countries where cocaine is being trafficked. The woman was also carrying identification documents from Colombia, Mexico, Panama, and the United States.

 

A report from the National Police indicated that a Lynx unit stopped a vehicle that was moving in a suspicious manner through Balboa Avenue in the ultra-modern capital city of Panama, along the shores of Panama Bay. Along with the 233 kilograms of cocaine, police also confiscated two pineapples, a flower pot filled with concrete and decorated with snail shells, a mysterious effigy engraved in dark stone, and various accessories used by police officers.

 

With their loud, high-performance motorcycles, pitch-black helmets, camouflaged uniforms, assault rifles, and head-to-toe dark Kevlar, Lynx police units in Panama tend to cut an intimidating figure.

 

If the idea of an occultist retained by international drug traffickers to hex law enforcement sounds familiar, it is a case of life imitating art. The 2002 satirical horror novel Lullaby, written by acclaimed author Chuck Palahniuk, features a woman who can perform a “culling song,” an orphic African chant that has the power to kill from a great distance. The lethal services of this woman are contracted by powerful crime bosses and wicked government agencies to perform assassinations.

 

Also, in the documentary film “Cocaine Cowboys Reloaded” about drug trafficking in Miami during the 1980s, it is explained that cocaine dealers would often resort to hiring Santeria (a sort of voodoo practiced in Cuba) practitioners to ply their esoteric trade against rivals and the police.
