    Ravana, Capitalism, and the Politics of Communal Division

    According to a popular Hindu tradition, Ravana is regarded as a symbol of evil, and every year, following the festival of Dussehra, his effigy is set ablaze in a ritual symbolising the triumph of good over evil. In this capitalist world, there is another kind of evil worth questioning: the handful of billionaires and political elites who manipulate the distribution of wealth, perpetuating a 10–90 divide in which a privileged minority accumulates enormous wealth and power while the majority […]

    A quotation from Molly Ivins

    You have more political power than 99 percent of all the people who have ever lived on this planet. You can not only vote, you can register other people to vote, round up your friends, get out and do political education, talk to people, laugh with people, call the radio, write the paper, write your elected representatives, use your email list, put up signs, march, volunteer, and raise hell. All your life, no matter what else you do β€” butcher, baker, beggarman, thief / doctor, lawyer, Indian chief β€” you have another job, another responsibility: You are a citizen. It is an obligation that requires attention and effort.

    Molly Ivins (1944–2007) American writer, political columnist [Mary Tyler Ivins]
    Essay (2004), Introduction, Who Let the Dogs In?

    The Ancient Art of Buying Silence: How Rulers Have Always Turned Critics into Courtiers by Lawson Akhigbe

    Political co-optation is not a Nigerian invention. It is one of the oldest and most elegant tools in the authoritarian toolkit far more refined than the crude business of jailing poets or shooting journalists. Why break a man’s spirit when you can simply rent it? Offer him a title, a salary, a motorcade, and watch the moral thunder turn into polite applause. History is littered with the wreckage of principles that met a well-timed appointment.

    ANDY BURNHAM MUST GIVE BRITAIN AN IDEOLOGY, NOT ANOTHER MANAGEMENT CONSULTANT’S POWERPOINT by Lawson Akhigbe

    There was something important about Andy Burnham's intervention at Prime Minister's Questions. Not simply because of what he said, but because of what it appeared to recognise: Britain has not merely been badly governed. Britain has been travelling in the wrong ideological direction for decades.

    The Ghost Who Keeps Signing by Lawson Akhigbe

    The Land Use Act of 1978 vested radical title to land in the state governor. Customary authorities were meant to operate within that framework, not around it. Yet when the formal system becomes a source of frustration rather than facilitation, human ingenuity finds other routes. Enter the late Oba. His name carries historical weight. The palace, however, maintains no functional modern archive capable of systematic verification. Oral history is the dominant method, and most of the original participants are no longer available for cross-examination. The result is a paper trail that is difficult to audit and easy to exploit.

    Anarchism in judicial robes, by Owei Lakemfa

    My mind raced back to British jurist, Lord Denning who famously declared in 1964: β€œJustice has no place in darkness or secrecy. When a judge sits on a case, he himself is on trial… If he is suspicious, biased, or unfair, then the judge is the one who is condemned in the eyes of public opinion.” But these words of wisdom seem not to have any meaning to Justice Lifu, shockingly, a former lecturer of Public and International Law, University of Ibadan. For me, what was more distressing was that despite the uproar, Justice Lifu seemed oblivious of the damage he    had done to the body polity, the judiciary and his thirty five years post-call to bar history.

    An Apocalyptic Discourse: The Fall of Babylon

    In the Book of Revelation, we read about the mighty fall of Babylon. Revelation 18:10 tells us, β€œAlas, alas, that great city, that mighty city! For in one hour is thy judgment come.” Babylon represents a corrupt system that has misled many people. Today, some people see the Trump administration as this Babylon, with certain preachersβ€”a woman preacher often referred to as the β€œwhore of Babylon”—leading a large group of devoted followers. These followers, many of whom are evangelical Christians, find themselves in a troubling alliance with a political system that focuses more on power than on truth.

    The idea of Trump as Babylon grows stronger each day as we witness the actions of his administration. Trump’s presidency intertwines closely with evangelical Christianity, which turns politics into a spiritual crusade. The New Apostolic Reformation (NAR) is one group that emerges from this mixture. They see Trump not just as a political leader but as a chosen warrior of God against the forces of evil. This view shapes the way they perceive society around them.

    Paula White-Cain, a prominent preacher and Trump’s personal pastor, serves as one of the key figures in this movement. She champions Trump to her followers as a divine warrior. From Trump rallies to church gatherings, she motivates her supporters by proclaiming that they are engaged in a spiritual battle. Words like β€œspiritual warfare” fill the air, as she urges her followers to resist what they see as the evil forces represented by political opponents, particularly those on the left.

    The rhetoric surrounding these beliefs is similar to the cries of those affiliated with Babylon in Revelation. As they cling to their leaders and their beliefs, they passionately chant words of triumph, believing that they are on the side of righteousness in a holy quest for power. Their confidence mirrors the merchants of Babylon who weep over the city’s demise, declaring the end of a corrupt system they shaped for their gain.

    Fervent supporters of NAR, such as Lance Wallnau, frame Trump’s presidency as part of a holy missionβ€”one involving direct communication from God. They believe that they, as leaders in the evangelical movement, can claim divine authority to reshape American society. This is especially true with the idea of the β€œSeven Mountains Mandate,” which promotes the idea that Christians must control seven critical areas in society: family, religion, education, media, arts and entertainment, business, and government. This ambition reveals a desire to impose a specific worldview on society, risking the pluralistic nature of American democracy.

    Critics of this alignment between faith and politics express deep concerns. They argue that this movement does not promote true religious freedom. Instead, it seeks to establish a hierarchy where evangelical Christianity is elevated above other beliefs. Rachel Laser, a leader in promoting the separation of church and state, calls attention to how this blending of faith and political ambition creates a dangerous power dynamic. She warns that it leads to a nation ruled by an ultra-conservative Christian nationalist ideology.

    The fervent support for Trump by evangelical Christians transforms their faith into a tool for political power. Many of their voices, within this movement, assert that the opposition party is driven by demons, creating an environment where political discourse becomes hostile. Such intense rhetoric promotes an β€œus versus them” mentality, turning fellow citizens into enemies. Instead of fostering understanding and dialogue, this environment pushes the country toward greater division.

    The fallout from this idolatry reveals itself in multiple ways. For one, many prominent NAR leaders have publicly supported the narrative of the 2020 election being β€œstolen.” They reject the truth and cling to claims that align with their worldviewβ€”a dangerous precedent that erodes trust in democratic systems. As we witnessed during the Capitol riots on January 6, 2021, many NAR adherents took their zeal into the streets, believing they fought a righteous battle to reclaim a nation they believe is under siege.

    As the faithful lean into these teachings, the prophecies of Revelation grow ever closer. The luxurious lifestyle of the leaders in this movement mirrors the ways defined in the lamentations of Babylon. They enjoy positions of power and influence, manipulating their followers to secure political victories that ultimately serve their agenda rather than the Gospel. When the downfall arrives, how will they respond? Will they cry out in despair, much like the merchants of Babylon, upon realizing that their foundation was built on illusions?

    The teachings of the New Apostolic Reformation and the fervent beliefs associated with them create a precarious balance. As the call for spiritual warfare resonates, followers are often left at a crossroads between faith and fanaticism. They have become like the merchants of Babylon, losing sight of their original purpose in the pursuit of political might and societal control. The inevitable collapse of this operation draws nearer, revealing the deeper implications of such an idolatrous relationship with power.

    In the face of revelation, the turmoil creates room for reflection not only for those within the NAR but also for society at large. Many Americans, including practitioners of various faiths, express apprehension about the intertwining of religion with partisan ideology. The collapse of Babylon, in this scenario, does not merely signify the end of one political regime but serves as a warning for those who allow their faith to be co-opted for political gain. The moment of reckoning will come for those who blindly follow leaders that prioritize personal ambition over spiritual integrity.

    As these dynamics unfold, the elements presented in Revelation remind us that self-deception can lead to ruin. The fate awaiting those who have supported this new form of Babylon will serve as a poignant reminder of the dangers of prioritizing power over piety. In the light of impending collapse, even those who once enjoyed the spoils of this alliance may find themselves lamenting the choices that led them astray.

    The coming judgment may not be a physical destruction but a spiritual awakening, prompting a reevaluation of beliefs and values that have become entangled with the political machinery. The faithful must ask themselves whether they truly serve God or have unwittingly become servants of a corrupted system that has twisted their beliefs into a weapon against others.

    Ultimately, the conclusion of this apocalyptic tale reveals the broader consequences of aligning spiritual commitments with political objectives. Babylonβ€”within our context, the Trump administrationβ€”will inevitably face its demise, and when it does, those identified as the whore riding upon itβ€”the preachers, the leaders, and their followersβ€”will be left to reckon with their part in this unfolding narrative. The sobering recognition of their entanglement with power may lead to a painful period of reflection and redemption.

    As the descendants of the orders of Babylon face their reckoning, may they find grace to disentangle themselves from the chains of idolatry. May this moment serve as both a warning and a call for genuine discipleshipβ€”rooted not in the pursuit of earthly power but in the humble service of love, compassion, and truth. The time is ripe for a spiritual renaissance, should the faithful choose to learn from the mistakes of their past and reclaim the true essence of their faith devoid of the seductions of power.

    In conclusion, the lamentation of those aligned with Babylon will echo through the ages, reminding us of the perils of idolatry in political systems. Just as the merchants in Revelation cry out for their lost wealth, so too must we reflect on the spiritual cost of our faith when entwined with political ambition. True believers will emerge, not from the ashes of Babylon, but from a renewed commitment to serving a higher calling that transcends earthly structures. It is only then that we can hope to build a society grounded in justice, mercy, and genuine love for our neighbors.

    Why Evangelicals Support #Authoritarianism

    Why are #evangelicals still supporting Trump’s #authoritarian takeover? The answer is unsettling: in #evangelical culture, #control is often framed as love.

    "In this video, I unpack how authoritarianism has been rebranded as β€œprotection,” β€œdiscipline,” and even β€œ#godly love.”

    A quotation from Samuel Johnson

       Power is always gradually stealing away from the many to the few because the few are more vigilant and consistent; it still contracts to a smaller number, till in time it centres in a single person.
       Thus all the forms of governments instituted among mankind, perpetually tend towards monarchy; and power, however diffused through the whole community is, by negligence or corruption, commotion or distress, reposed at last in the chief magistrate.

    Samuel Johnson (1709-1784) English writer, lexicographer, critic
    Essay (1753-04-10), The Adventurer, No. 45

    A quotation from Bill Watterson

       CALVIN: I’m writing a fund-raising letter. The secret to getting donations is to depict everyone who disagrees with you as the enemy. Then you explain how they’re systematically working to destroy everything you hold dear. It’s a War of Values! Rational discussion is hopeless! Compromise is unthinkable! Our only hope is well-funded antagonism, so we need your money to keep up the fight!
       HOBBES: How cynically unconstructive.
       CALVIN: Enmity sells.

    Bill Watterson (b. 1958) American cartoonist
    Calvin and Hobbes (1995-07-07)
