Nimrods In Charge: Way To Embarrass Yourself Newark

Post by Riddick » 03-15-2023 12:49 PM

It was about to become a Sister City with a Hindu nation, but there was one problem -- the nation doesn't exist.

Earlier this year, Newark Mayor Ras Baraka invited what he thought was the Hindu nation of Kailasa to City Hall for a cultural trade agreement, but it turns out Kailasa is no nation at all; it's a fake. A few days after the papers were signed, City Council rescinded the agreement.

As CBS2's Ali Bauman reports, the city only found out about the fraud after it held an official ceremony for it. Though it has a detailed website, "Kailasa" has no real government. It's the brainchild of Swami Nithyananda, a notorious scam artist and fugitive from India who has been on the run from rape charges since 2019.

What started off as a seemingly well-intentioned partnership has turned into a giant embarrassment for the city of Newark. Residents hope the next Sister City comes with a Google search. FULL STORY
