RT @nick_routledge: @UssamaMakdisi Our prophets universally depict this momentous revelation of the monstrous, wholesale moral destitution of our primary, international 'superpowers', as the rending of a well-wrought veil of deceit, a historical bifurcation point defining a providential, planetary dividing line.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: nick_routledge/status/1571282717450579968?s=20 Folks might also not be aware the Cycle of Unveiling or 'dawr al-kashf' of the Shi'ite Hidden Imam or 'qāʾim', correlates precisely with Judeo-Christian interpretation of the 'apocalypsis' or unveiling of 'the sunburst of the messianic'. And why ever would it not?
@medialens An astute, anticipated distinction. The original meaning of ‘apocalypsis’? Unveiling. A 'Day' or 'Hour' of vision, decision and liberating experience in which legacy forms of authority, credibility, legitimacy and agency are espistemically demolished by the force of truth itself.

Copy of tweet: To see is to see through. Realpolitik, the keeper of the prison, which commands us to be fooled by appearances, to respect the Emperor's New Clothes. The blindness is from the blinkers of decorum. ‘Apocalypsis’ strips away the decent draperies on which the whole big lie depends.
