Wolf King Philosophy, Uganda and Dictators

The "Wolf King" philosophy of The Family is explored, which suggests that Jesus came for the powerful "wolves" rather than the "sheep." By converting the leaders (the wolves), the organization believes it can bring the rest of society into line. Kanye West's recent visit to Uganda and his meeting with its president are cited as potential evidence of his alignment with this group's global strategy.
