THE CIA'S CAPITALIST CORRUPTION OF RELIGIOUS MOVEMENTS

If you live in the Global South, it has probably never crossed your mind to wonder whether there is a link between the religion you practise and the American Central Intelligence Agency’s Cold War strategy. As far as most people are aware, their chosen faith and its mode of practice are individual decisions that even friends and family may not exert influence over, much less a state intelligence extension of a global superpower.

The truth however, is sometimes stranger than fiction because the CIA - by its own decision - exerted a tremendous amount of influence over growth and spread of certain religious doctrines across the Global South during the Cold War. In an effort to prevent or roll back the spread of Communism, one of its tactics was to fund the spread of niche Christian and Islamic doctrines which emphasised “personal responsibility” and individualism over collectivism, shared responsibility and group action.

Decades later, hundreds of millions of Global Southerners still worship and express their faiths under subverted forms of Christianity and Islam whose spread was funded by the CIA as part of a wider ideological subversion effort in the 1970s and 1980s. Driven by these hyper-individualist doctrines, millions of the world’s poorest people today remain stuck in the doomed cycle of trying to be ruthless capitalists without any capital to speak of, and blaming themselves for their “failures” instead of banding together for collective economic and political action.

For the oppressed peoples of the world, it is important to remember that empire does not respect any rules or boundaries including religious or ideological ones - everything within the empire’s reach can and will be weaponised. To remove ourselves from its control, we must first recognise the extent to which even our closest held thoughts and beliefs have been co-opted in its service.

The British head of state is an unelected hereditary monarch called Charles Windsor, and he Britiah upper house of parliament (House of Lords) is made up of 800 unelected life members drawn from the UK elite who have the power to introduce legislation and delay bills from the (elected) House of Commons.

The more you step out of the mental cage that colonisers created for you, the more you realise that "democracy" is just a story they have told very successfully - the power structure at the core of their society is NOT democratic, and the core processes that define their societies are guided by elite consensus and NOT 1-man-1-vote.

If African countries have competent leadership that understands and aspires to sovereignty, Africans should learn to completely ignore these white people when they start using their loaded terms like "junta" and "regime" to narratively attack their legitimacy.

Ibrahim Traore has been in power in Burkina Faso since 2022. The House of Windsor has been in power in the UK since 1826, when it was still known by its original German name "House of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha." Before having anything to say about Ibrahim Traore and Burkina Faso, the BBC should first explain to British people why they have spent 199 years under the control of one family and its 800 elite associates from finance, industry, arts & culture, and academia.

They should fix their "junta" at home in Westminster before rubbernecking their long oyibo necks 6,000 km across the Atlantic at a country on another continent. Nobody is buying this nonsense.

A nation that does not challenge its leadership will remain in a cycle of failure. Nigeria’s greatest weakness is not bad leaders, it is the refusal of its educated and influential citizens to hold them accountable free from personal, ideology, tribal or religious interest.

[Mr Macaroni @mrmacaroni]

To the DG, Coordinators and every official of the NYSC!!!
You cannot threaten, intimidate or victimize any corper for expressing their view on the performance of the president.
They are citizens with rights!
The president is in office to serve the people and every Nigerian, Corper or not has the right to hold their Leaders accountable!!!

Durbar, Orisha or Igue Festival.
At what point did we decide that our own history was no longer worth celebrating?

[David Eseosa @DavidTopChap]

Today, Nigeria is painted red with Valentine’s Day flowers, chocolates, and corporate giveaways flooding our streets and social media. Just months ago, we celebrated Christmas, Boxing Day and New Year’s Eve, and soon Easter, and for some, even Halloween, Thanksgiving, and now, 🧵

love? Shouldn’t our own stories matter just as much?
This is not about rejecting other cultures. It’s about asking why ours is always at the bottom of the list. Why a company that invests in Christmas ads and Halloween decorations won’t even acknowledge the New Yam Festival,
