Keiko Fujimori: Just Like Her Father?

Peruvians will choose their new president in the second round of elections this Sunday. The competition is between Keiko Fujimori and Ollanta Humala who are neck to neck in the polls. Despite Ollanta’s wishy-washy proposals and his association with Hugo Chávez, he has gained a strong following with many of his supporters hardly voting for him than voting against Keiko.

Oposición de Keiko
"Collective memory. Chinese Rat, give back the stolen money."
Keiko is the daughter of Alberto Fujimori, the former president of Peru from 1990 to 2000. Fujimori is recognized and appreciated for ending years of dreadful, violent terrorism in Peru and for stabilizing the country’s economy. At the same time, he was also found guilty of various corrupt acts and human rights violations. He is currently serving 25 years in prison.

Many people remember Alberto Fujimori for embezzling tons of money from the government and for killing off their families during the harsh stance he took against the terrorists, which often involved innocent people. Fujimori apologists argue that these undertakings were primarily headed by Vladimiro Montesinos, Fujimori’s chief advisor.

Universitarios Contra Keiko Fujimori
"I neither forget nor forgive. More than 300 dead. The National University of Central Peru."
Nevertheless, wherever you find Keiko these days, you’ll find people who are against her father. The diplomatic contend that she’s partly responsible for her father’s crimes because she was named Peru’s First Lady in 1994 at only 19 years old as her parents underwent a divorce. Others don’t have the courtesy to show reason and simply throw misattributed insults for Alberto Fujimori at his daughter, as his ad hoc representative. “Assassin!” they yell at Keiko, as if her father’s wrongdoings were her fault.

Below is a short clip of Keiko’s most recent visit to Huancayo last week during her presidential campaign. As she comes down the stairs amongst shouts of “Keiko for President!” you’ll hear a man shout: “China Rata!” calling her a rat as an insult.

Should Keiko be blamed for her father’s wrongs? Are you just like your parents? Can we ever really dissociate ourselves from our family? Will their errors always reflect on us and our errors on them?

Want to Know Your Future?

Reinaldo Dos Santos is known as “The Prophet of America.” Among his actualized predictions include the earthquakes in Haiti and Chile, the destruction of the Twin Towers and the election of Pope Benedict XVI.

Reinaldo Dos Santos
In last week's interview, Reinaldo made predictions about the world as he looked at a photograph of the earth.
Reinaldo has seen visions in his mind since his childhood, comparing them to schizophrenic voices. The mental images don’t always make sense to him initially and he has to do the research in order to interpret them, often studying other seers, such as Nostradamus, and the Mayan prophecies.

Last Sunday, he was interviewed by Reporte Semanal (Weekly Report), a Peruvian television program, in which he made his predictions for Peru and the world:

Predictions for Peru
  1. Keiko Fujimori would win the upcoming elections and become president. Keiko is the daughter of Alberto Fujimori, the ex-president of Peru who is recognized for conquering terrorism and stabilizing the country’s economy, but has also been charged for corruption and human rights violations.
  2. Peru will suffer a series of major natural disasters within the next eight years and the new president who will be elected on June 5th should make emergency preparedness a priority. Furthermore, Lima will be hit by an earthquake and it won’t be just any earthquake, but “THE earthquake.”
Predictions for the World
  1. Barack Obama will be reelected. Even though he has disappointed many Americans who believed in him, they still have hope.
  2. Canada is one of the most prepared countries for the critical consequences of global warming.
  3. Hugo Chavez won’t be reelected, but he may remain in power.

Reinaldo admits that he, as a flawed human being, can interpret his visions incorrectly and he believes that God ultimately has the power to make changes, but so far every major event he has predicted has come true.

Do you believe in modern-day prophets or are they scams? Do you believe that we can be our own prophets with enough research and an intuitive, big-picture understanding of the world? If you could really know your future, would you want to know? Why or why not?
