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.

My people, I’ve been going through the details about these Spiro motorcycles & the conversation here on X, and I need clarity from anyone who has first-hand experience.
Is it true that when you buy a Spiro bike at around KSh 95,000, the price doesn’t include the battery, and that you can’t even buy your own battery, plus you can't charge it at home?
That the only option is to keep swapping batteries from the company’s stations?
Because if that’s the case, that’s like buying a car without a fuel tank, and being told you must drive back to the manufacturer every time you need to refuel for the manufacturer to replace the whole fuel tank and install another one with fuel in it & u cant fuel directly
A closed system designed to lock out competition and trap customers.
Worse still, I’m hearing claims that you can’t even charge the battery from home.
If that is true, that’s not innovation, that’s control, and it's evil.
And control without transparency becomes exploitation.
My people, before you put your money into these bikes, please confirm for me:
Are these conditions real?
If they are, then we must warn Kenyans to avoid being trapped in a system meant to benefit the company and not the customer.
And yes, I know bloggers will be here soon to sanitize the story.
But facts don’t lie.
Let’s get the truth first before Kenyans are misled.
I’m sorry but this is something we have to address now. Just seeing this TikTok of this very young girl barely 14 years being forced to marry this old man and she’s even crying and refusing but the family is in support of it. This is illegal and the entire family should be arrested plus the husband. This happens every single day I’m so sick of it. There’s no proper organization or defenders in NE to defend and rescue these girls. Not a single safe house but wallahi if you know of any girl being forced into marriage, FGM and any cases of defilement please run to me I will fight for them with everything I have I mean it 🙏
DRAW WITH ME.
She’s quite popular, but I love the lighting and the expression so much.
Let’s have fun with this one.
Submission: 7pm WAT on Sunday.
Goodluck!
