Downright fascinating. Where did you get that information? Does this mean that Malvo is a follower of voodoo or santeria?
And BTW, has anyone actually seen the tarot card? There are several kinds of tarot decks, including a voodoo tarot which looks very different from others. I surfed around yesterday to see if I could find pictures online of voodoo tarot that depicted a duck and a noose, but could not find many pictures. But it had occurred to me that tarot, duck-noose imagery might be voodoo. Malvo had been in Haiti, where voodoo is practiced.
I ran across this page while looking around.

My guess is he's almost a Moslem, and is very aware of "5% Nation" materials.
In the end we will probably discover that he was a stone-coled killer that Mr. Muhammad brought up to "take care of some deals".
Yeah, so he probably would have only killed his ex-wife. What a guy. Although I wouldn't downplay the Mohammedan angle either. It was probably a two-fer for him. Kill the infidels and get even with his wife.
Not if you're living in a car having sex with a teen age boy.
Mohammad called CNN?
Yes, I guess when they could not get through to LE, they tried CNN, and CNN blew off the call thinking it was a prank.
I'm impressed with this police chief.
I expect more suprises in this case.
Do you know how/when they discovered it was not a prank...code words?
No, I don't. But on CNN's Late Edition this morning, Wolf Blitzer was interviewing Executive Douglas M. Duncan, Montgomery County Police Chief Charles Moose, FBI agent Gary Bald.
During the interview Blitzer was asking Moose why did the LE not do or recognize something and Moose politely with a smile ask Blitzer why CNN did not report to LE that the snippers had called them. Blitzer had to admit that they had CNN had racked it up as a prank call.
The fact that this man who must have traveled cross-country to the Washington DC area for some reason (the move of more than three thousand miles was not done as the result of a random whim) … combined with the fact that the killings seemed to ‘ring’ his ex wife’s Clinton, MD home …. is semi-compelling evidence that the deaths of the ten innocents may well have been simply used to set the stage for Mildred Green’s also (supposedly random, but actually strategically calculated) death.
It’s the theory that he planned to also target his three children that doesn’t sit well with me, for two reasons:
(1) There was a bitter custody battle over those children, and, after Mildred Green was awarded custody, Muhammed kidnapped them and took them out of the country. (Although, considering this man’s demented nature, I suppose that is not necessarily proof of a burning desire to have them with him. It could also simply have been proof of a burning desire to sadistically deprive her of them.)
(2) The killing of four people at one time (and all of them members of the same family) would not at all have fit the M.O. of the sniper. Muhammed, of all people, must have been well aware of that. If he intended to eventually target his family, he would have planned the 'set-up' to also include multiple simultaeous killings.
So, it seems that, if Green’s accusations are at all plausible (and they do seem to be, to a degree), I would dispute only the aspect that the three children were intended to be eventual victims. If indeed Mildred Green was the actual target, I believe she was the lone one – after which Muhammed might either have gained custody of his children once again (this time legally), or he may have simply been satisfied with doing away with the woman for whom he apparently harbored such hatred, and then allowed the children to be placed elsewhere, because their role as pawns in a game of vengeance had been played out.
Whatever his motivation was (this obscene plan, or another), it’s just a tragedy that thirteen innocents had to find themselves in his crosshairs.
