Last year, Apollo Quiboloy staged a dramatic two-week siege as he resisted FBI warrants for his arrest. Now he stands accuse of running a vast criminal empire, and igniting an explosive rift between the Duterte and the Marcos dynasties for control of the country.

An extraordinary, indeed hard-to-believe (but all true, all too true) story. Very much looking foward to @ellehardy.bsky.social's forthcoming book on another self-appointed messenger of God, Sun Myung and his Unification Church.

A bizarre thing to come out of the trial for the assassination of Shinzo Abe: they did a detailed autopsy to debunk conspiracy theories, and instead happened to find no evidence of ulcerative colitis — which he cited as the reason for twice resigning as PM

Why Jesse Jackson ’88 campaign tees are hot in Asia
Korean cool has taken this old US political tee, stripped it of meaning, and made it fashion.

Full armor of god is a call to spiritual warfare — Vance might be catholic but he’s deeply influenced by charismatics
Vance encourages people to call the employers of people who "celebrate Charlie's murder," then says "get involved. Get involved. Get involved."

Cites Stephen Miller's vow to go after orgs that "promote violence and terrorism", and closes by calling on people to "put on the full armor of God."
In his closing remarks while hosting Charlie Kirk's show for the White House, Vance says "the most important truth Charlie told was" — and then recites Apostles' Creed.

Vance then spends several minutes railing against the left in a speech that, uh, I think is likely gonna get some attention.
