    **WTF Newark?**

    *Mayor Ras Baraka of Newark was gracious in January at a ceremony to make Newark “sister cities” with the “Hindu nation” of Kailasa.*

    *”I pray that our relationship helps us to understand cultural, social, and political development,” he said in a joint appearance at City Hall, “and improves the lives of everybody in both places.”*

    *However, the city has had to recently — how do the pundits put it? — “walk back” those comments after it was reported that Kailasa does not exist.*

    *In fact, it’s worse: Kailasa seems to be just a website and a scheme launched by Swami Nithyananda, a notorious fugitive from India, who has been trying to evade authorities since being charged with child abduction and rape in 2019.*

    On the bright side, the Newark city government announced the principality of Madripoor and the Nations of Wakanda and Zamunda would all like to get involved in Sister Cities program with Newark.
