A group of shamans gathered Monday by the sea in the Miraflores district of Peru’s capital, Lima, to carry out an annual ritual in which they make predictions for the upcoming year.

Dressed in traditional Andean ponchos and headdresses, the group performed a ceremony, and made predictions about the course of international relations, ongoing conflicts and the fate of world leaders.

Listen. Strange men on the beach, distributing ceremonial predictions, is no basis for a system of government. Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical playa ceremony!

I mean if I went round saying I were President, just because some poncho'd diviner had lobbed a bouquet of flowers at me, they'd put me away!
