Dravidianism is a Secularised version of Evangelical Mentality Deepak reframes "Dravidianism" as a secularized Christian movement, not an indigenous ideology. He traces its origins to the Justice Party (formed by Mudaliars, Chettiars, and Naickers around 1917), which emerged as an anti-Brahman movement backed by British colonial and missionary support...

MEDIA REPORTS: Nelson Chamisa has announced his return to active politics, saying this time he's launching a movement and not a political party; after he suddenly without notice jumped ship on this day 24 January in 2024, and ran away from the CCC party he had formed and led, claiming it had been inflitrated by ZanuPF. PUBLIC EYE: Social movements are not formed or launched by an individual, they are people driven and they emerge organically and spontaneously to address a specific, self-evident and broadly shared public grievance. Otherwise, a party that is launched by an individual and which masquerades as a movement is the easiest thing to inflitrate and overrun. Will Chamisa run away, again, if that happens as it sure would? That's the 64 million dollar question. Time will tell, but once bitten twice shy. Voter beware!

REPORT: The Canadian Anti-Hate Network might be subverting Canadian democracy by paying protestors through various Government subsidies. On Oct 31, 2022, CAHN's Executive Director Evan Balgord appeared before Canada's Senate as an expert witness on the alleged rise of Islamaphobia in Canada, when he concluded his appearance with a proposal to government representatives with the idea of financial funding for what he described as a pro-democracy movement. Balgord described the existing rise of right-wing populism in Canada as an anti-democratic movement and suggested the creation of a pro-democracy movement through government funding. While most people understand that pro-democracy movements are generated organically, like the populist movement in Canada. Balgord believes the opposite is true, which is no surprise considering he has a long history of inverting reality and misrepresenting the truth to his audience.

It is because Trump and a lot of his inner circle, namely Elon Musk, VP JD Vance, Howard Lutnick and Peter Thiel are wrapped up in a specific ideology called “The Dark Enlightenment”. This is also where the term “Dark MAGA” comes from. Dark Enlightenment, also known as the neo-reactionary movement (NRx). It is described as an anti-democratic and anti-egalitarian philosophical and political movement. It rejects the idea of progress toward greater liberty and enlightenment, instead advocating for a return to traditional forms of government, such as absolute monarchism. This ideology is often associated with techno-authoritarianism, where societies are governed like corporations with a hierarchical structure. It is essentially Marxism/Socialism from a “right-wing” perspective minus DEI, and based around a Corporate Authoritarian Technocracy. Otherwise known as a “Techno-Monarchy” run by billionaire oligarchs. Yes, it is as HORRIFIC & TERRIFYING as it sounds. Dark Enlightenment doesn’t believe in the idea of democracy or even equality, as we are used to it…But, it sees all the citizens as “shareholders” or “workers” of the corporation (America). This ideology was originally created by Nick Land, and made popular by Curtis Yarvin, a philosopher that JD Vance and Peter Thiel (Palantir) greatly admire. I’m not sure when exactly it happened, but Trump, and by proxy, MAGA at large has been completely SUBVERTED by this sinister ideology.

Professor PLO Lumumba contends that NATO's power, a longstanding instrument of Western imperialism, has been eroded by the resurgent "America First" doctrine of Trump's "Make America Great Again" movement. This isolationist and nationalist agenda, which rejects globalization only when it impedes U.S. dominance, demands the United States abandon multilateral institutions like NATO and the UN. Lumumba frames this not as a retreat from empire, but as a re-centering of colonial and imperial interests. He asserts that this forces Europe, itself a historic center of colonial power, to confront its own defensive capabilities, thereby exposing and intensifying the inherent fractures within the imperialist alliance which is exposed by Trump's desire to take Greenland and his disagreement with Europe on the War in Ukraine

As a Gen Z Christian conservative, I have been deeply troubled by the growing prominence of certain voices within the conservative movement that distort history and perpetuate dangerous tropes. As Christians, we are called to stand for truth, justice, and compassion. This includes rejecting any rhetoric or ideology that distorts the memory of the Holocaust or fuels hatred against the Jewish people. It is our responsibility to ensure that our voices reflect these values and that we advocate for a future grounded in integrity, respect, and historical accountability. The stakes are too high for us to remain silent. Rova Media

The Obidient Movement remains an organic movement driven by the self-sacrifice, commitment, and collective determination of Nigerians who believe that a New Nigeria is Possible. We align strongly with the ideas and principles of His Excellency, Mr. Peter Obi, who has consistently demonstrated a different approach to politics by challenging the dominance of a money-driven political system. While resources are important in politics, the excessive influence of money has caused significant harm to Nigeria's democratic development and the well-being of its people. As believers in democratic values, we are concerned about the deregistration of political parties such as ADC, AA, ZLP and APP. A vibrant democracy thrives on inclusiveness, political participation, and the availability of diverse platforms through which citizens can freely express their aspirations and choices. The future of Nigeria's democracy must be built on fairness, inclusion, credible institutions, and the active participation of citizens. The Obidient Movement will continue to advocate for good governance, accountability, and a democratic culture that empowers the people rather than wealth and political influence. — Dr. Yunusa Tanko National Coordinator, Obidient Movement

What surprised me was, CA Council member Eileen Wang and CCP agent Yaoning Mike Sun's American Southwest Chamber of Commerce even celebrated the 100th anniversary of the May Fourth Movement, with extensive coverage by pro-CCP media. The so-called May Fourth Movement happened in 1919. The CCP defined it as a patriotic, anti-imperialist, and anti-feudal movement led by progressive youth and intellectuals. It is portrayed as a turning point in modern Chinese history, paving the way for Marxism to spread in China. The movement is also seen as a key event that contributed to the founding of the CCP in 1921. However, although the CCP places great importance on the May Fourth Movement, it is no longer widely celebrated among the Chinese public. That’s why I was surprised to see Eileen Wang, who is in the U.S., celebrating this movement—even though it has largely been neglected by Chinese society. This TV report, and what Eileen Wang said during the interview, was purely in CCP official language, like "united in heart and spirit, creating a community with a shared future for mankind," and the eight core values, "patriotism, democracy, progress, science." These are all CCP slogans. And by "patriotism," she meant love for the CCP, not America. Yaoning Mike Sun was interviewed too, repeating Eileen Wang's messages about inheriting patriotism, striving for progress, and hard work, etc.

The City Boy Movement, despite not being a registered political party, is rapidly emerging as one of the most extensive grassroots political mobilization networks, with a nationwide structure arguably broader than that of some established political platforms, including the NDC. Unlike conventional political parties, the City Boy Movement operates as a political support and mobilisation organisation, bringing together young people, volunteers and supporters around a shared political objective. Our activities have increasingly taken the organisation beyond major urban centres into communities across the six geopolitical zones. Recent engagements by the Movement in the North-East and North-West have further demonstrated the scale of its grassroots network. From town-hall meetings and stakeholder engagements to youth empowerment programmes and mobilisation activities, the Movement has continued to deepen its presence at the grassroots. The leadership of the Movement maintains that its growing national structure is a product of organisation, consistency and direct engagement with ordinary Nigerians rather than merely relying on formal political structures. We believe that the current momentum provides a strong foundation for even greater national engagement ahead of the 2027 political season and beyond.

Did you know that Norway and other European countries have a revolt against communist-style architecture? The Architectural Rebellion began in Sweden in 2014 and has since spread to Norway, Denmark, Finland and beyond. It is a grassroots movement born out of frustration with modernist, monotonous, concrete-dominated cityscapes, especially in housing and urban planning. At its core, the movement is about more than aesthetics, it is about ideology. Post-war modernism was deeply influenced by collectivist and socialist ideals: functionality over beauty, efficiency over identity, uniformity over tradition. The result has been soulless blocks and sterile public spaces that alienate rather than inspire. The Architectural Rebellion argues for a return to classical and human-centered design, buildings with detail, history and a sense of belonging. It’s not only a cultural fight, but also a democratic one: why should people be forced to live in environments they find ugly, uninspiring and depressing, imposed by planners and elites in the name of progress? What began as an online protest has grown into a cultural counter-movement, reshaping debates about how Europe’s cities should look and who gets to decide.

KHALISTAN FLAG RAISED — INDIAN TIRANGA DECIMATED AT HINDU MANDIRS “UNDER SIEGE” IN CANADA TO EXPOSE INDIA’S PROXIES AND CHALLENGE THE BID TO LABEL KHALISTAN AS “EXTREMISM.” “Be loyal to Canada or leave.” SFJ General Counsel Pannun’s Message To Indo-Canadian-Hindu Organizations Hundreds of Canadian Sikhs participated on April 5, 2026, in “Khalistan Zindabad” rallies at Brampton Triveni Mandir and Surrey Lakshmi Narayan Mandir, directly confronting a campaign driven by the Indian government’s narrative and amplified by Indo-Canadian Hindus to label Khalistan—a political opinion—as “extremism.” The rallies, organized by Sikhs For Justice (SFJ), sent a clear message: Canada will not be allowed to be used as a platform for the Modi regime’s disinformation, spread by Indo-Canadian Hindu organizations to suppress Sikh political expression—Khalistan. SFJ challenged the petition backed by the Hindu Canadian Foundation (HCF), CoHNA, and affiliated mandirs, calling it a deliberate attempt to criminalize Khalistan as democratic advocacy and to silence Canadian Sikhs through mislabeling and fear. The rallies further exposed the export of Modi’s violent Hindutva ideology and India’s repression into Canada, where political dissent—Khalistan—is being targeted through coordinated narratives and pressure tactics. SFJ STATEMENT: “Indo-Canadian Hindus are followers of Modi’s violent Hindutva ideology and are peddling narratives of Indian High Commissioner Patnaik—targeting Khalistan, a political opinion. The same ideology is responsible for systemic violence, repression, and targeting of Khalistan Referendum activists in India, and is now being projected onto Canadian soil.” Sikhs For Justice (SFJ) General Counsel Gurpatwant Singh Pannun issued a direct message to Indo-Canadian Hindu organizations promoting the agenda of India’s Modi regime in Canada: “Be loyal to Canada or leave.” “Canada’s sovereignty and democratic space cannot be undermined by proxy networks acting on behalf of India’s Modi government” added Pannun. The rally made it clear that Khalistan advocacy is not extremism—it is a political position, and any attempt to label it otherwise is an attack on the democratic rights of Canadian Sikhs. Canadian Sikhs will continue to organize, speak, and rally—rejecting intimidation and asserting their right to political self-determination without interference by Indo-Canadian Hindu organizations acting as proxies of Modi’s India.

Nhial Deng Nhial, a senior member of South Sudan’s ruling party, said on Wednesday he was freezing his membership and launching a new movement aimed at wresting control of the SPLM party from its current leadership, which he accused of betraying the country’s founding ideals. In a declaration extended to Radio Tamazuj, the veteran politician announced the formation of the South Sudan Salvation Movement (SSSM), describing it as a “temporary vehicle” to push for reforms within the SPLM. He said the SSSM would operate under the United People’s Alliance (UPA), an opposition coalition led by former SPLM secretary-general Pagan Amum, and would work with other groups to pressure the government.

He’s Busted…. A week ago, Abhijeet Dipke was applying for jobs in Boston. Then a remark by the Chief Justice of India comparing young Indians on social media to “cockroaches” and “parasites” sparked outrage online as the remarks were twisted to suit an agenda these guys were looking for. Within three days, Abhijeet had launched the Cockroach Janata Party, a movement that exploded across social media, drew lakhs of followers, and turned an internet insult into a political identity. Movement, my foot. Just look at this fellow speaking to India Today, can anyone even imagine that this fellow can come out with something like this?? The fellow can’t talk properly and he wants people to believe that he’s behind this so called big movement?? It’s just another failed Deep State operation and nothing more. Just listen to him talk here and you’ll know his worth and his capabilities. It’s the anti India forces working with Kejriwal as usual, nothing new. Credit : India Today.

Political movements inevitably experience moments of transition. The Obidient Movement is no exception. As political realities evolve, some people will remain, some will leave, and others will choose different political paths. That is the nature of every broad based movement. However, it is important to distinguish between genuine strategic disagreements and attempts to justify personal political decisions. It is perfectly legitimate for anyone to decide that another platform better aligns with their convictions or aspirations. Such decisions should be respected without hostility. What is less convincing is when people attribute their departure solely to the alleged absence of structure or investment by Mr. Peter Obi, especially when many of those making such arguments were themselves beneficiaries of the movement's openness and citizen driven character. The Obidient Movement was never conceived as a traditional patronage network sustained by financial inducements. It emerged as a civic awakening powered by conviction, volunteerism, sacrifice, and the collective belief that Nigeria deserves better. Every movement matures over time. Structure is not built overnight; it evolves through committed people who are willing to invest their time, ideas, and resources, not merely wait for someone else to build it for them. Those who genuinely believe in an ideal contribute to strengthening it rather than abandoning it at the first sign of difficulty. At the same time, supporters of the movement must also acknowledge that there is room for improvement. Better coordination, stronger communication, clearer leadership pathways, and more effective grassroots organization are legitimate aspirations that can help the movement mature. Constructive criticism offered in good faith should be welcomed. Ultimately, history often reveals character during difficult seasons. Some people remain committed because they believe in a cause larger than themselves. Others move because circumstances, opportunities, or personal ambitions lead them elsewhere. Neither choice should be disguised as something it is not. The enduring strength of the Obidient Movement will not be measured by how many people leave, but by whether those who remain continue to embody the values that inspired millions in the first place: integrity, service, accountability, and the unwavering belief that a better Nigeria is possible. -DrMo

110 years ago today was Ireland’s 1916 Easter Rising against British occupation — an anti-colonial rebellion that did not achieve its goals in the short-term, but sparked life back into the centuries-old militant Irish republican movement. Calla tells the story… ￭ The rebels’ military strategy was not designed to immediately win conventional war, but to exploit British weakness during WWI and cause an urban insurgency and mass political provocation. Popular support swelled when the masses saw Britain’s brutal, disproportionate colonial counterattack. ￭ Many Western Marxists dismissed the Rising as pointless and doomed, but Lenin upheld it, for to him it proved that resistance is cumulative and can’t always wait for perfect conditions. ￭ The Rising’s shortcomings and successes were studied and adapted by future independence movements. Scholars like Justin Podur (The Anti-Genocide Project) even compare the Rising to modern asymmetric anti-colonial uprisings, like the Palestinian resistance’s Al-Aqsa Flood launched in October 2023.

ALAS, THE WORST FEARS APPEAR TO BE COMING TRUE. THERE APPEARS TO BE A SCAM IN THE NAME OF RAM LALLA. AND HERE'S WHY IT IS MORE THAN AN ACT OF CRIMINAL IMPROPRIETY. The latest is that the SIT is preparing legal action against Champat Rai aide Tinnu Yadav in the Ram Mandir donation theft probe, sources say. Cases may also be registered against donation-counting staff and bank officials. Arrests are possible. Complainant Anil Mishra alleges no receipt was issued for donated gold and claims he was later told the gold had already been melted down. It is deeply painful to be reporting these details. The Ram Mandir isn't just a bricks-and-mortar tribute to a deity. It is much more than that. It is a symbol that consecrates the reclamation of Hindu civilizational heritage. A heritage that was first endangered by settler colonisation and later by a political ideology that wrongly portrayed any attempt to reclaim or appreciate the grandeur of Hindu civilization as an assault on secularism. That is precisely why these allegations are so troubling. One would have thought that the symbols of this great project to reclaim Hindu heritage would have been safest in the hands of those who led the movement. It is now incumbent upon these self-styled "guardians of the faith" to prove themselves by ensuring they do not become complicit in the very acts of vandalism and desecration they have long fought against.

Cases may also be registered against donation-counting staff and bank officials. Arrests are possible. Complainant Anil Mishra alleges no receipt was issued for donated gold and claims he was later told the gold had already been melted down. It is deeply painful to be reporting these details. The Ram Mandir isn't just a bricks-and-mortar tribute to a deity. It is much more than that. It is a symbol that consecrates the reclamation of Hindu civilizational heritage. A heritage that was first endangered by settler colonisation and later by a political ideology that wrongly portrayed any attempt to reclaim or appreciate the grandeur of Hindu civilization as an assault on secularism. That is precisely why these allegations are so troubling. One would have thought that the symbols of this great project to reclaim Hindu heritage would have been safest in the hands of those who led the movement. It is now incumbent upon these self-styled "guardians of the faith" to prove themselves by ensuring they do not become complicit in the very acts of vandalism and desecration they have long fought against.

Neela Israfil, regarded as one of the prominent faces of Bangladesh’s so-called student revolution, was actively involved in the movement during July and August and continued to remain in the public spotlight afterward for various reasons. She later joined the students’ newly formed party, the NCS. A few days ago, she resigned from the party after bringing allegations of sexual harassment against one of its leaders. Now, she has spoken out about the July–August movement itself. She admits that the July–August movement was a meticulously designed operation aimed at removing Sheikh Hasina from power. It was not a student revolution at all. According to her, Abu Sayeed and Mir Mugdho were killed to implement that very design. He claims that bearded, skullcap-wearing militants carried out the police killings in the name of the movement. In this context, are Sheikh Hasina’s allegations regarding the July–August movement becoming increasingly relevant day by day?

The office of The ODM Party’s Secretary General is not a platform for personal opinion. It is an institutional role that demands discipline and loyalty to the party constitution. Edwin Sifuna has failed in this duty. If he wishes to pursue a different political path, that is his democratic right. But as long as he remains ODM’s Secretary General, he must respect the Party Leader and communicate the party’s official position, not his own. The Secretary General does not make policy. He articulates it. Personal views masquerading as party position are unacceptable. He was handpicked by the party, and the party can handpick another. ODM is bigger than any individual.

IMF & WORLD BANK HAVE NOT HELPED AFRICA How can we trust institutions established during colonial times by the very forces that colonised us? This is the question posed by Fadhel Kaboub (Fadhel Kaboub فاضل قابوب on X), an associate professor of economics at Ohio's Denison University, who critiques global financial institutions like the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank. Despite their inclusive names, these institutions act as neo-colonial tools, deepening poverty and dependency in Africa and the Global South. After decades of so-called ‘aid,’ little progress has been made in Africa, while Western countries advance by exploiting its resources. For example, the foreign-backed proxy war over natural resources in the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) has lasted over 30 years. Instead of addressing exploitation, the World Bank supports projects like the Inga Dam, which critics say facilitate further resource extraction under the guise of aid. Western powers, led by the US and supported by Europe and the G7, control these institutions. They back initiatives like the Lobito Corridor, a 1,300-kilometre strip of land featuring a railway that snakes through Zambia, the DRC and Angola to ship Africa’s resources across the Atlantic Ocean. The World Bank also supported apartheid South Africa, a history it prefers to forget. Given that Africa pays out more in debt and resource extraction than it receives in aid, is it not time for the rest of the continent to reject these colonial-era models and pursue African-led development, like our siblings in the Sahel?
