T
he director of Trinidad and Tobago’s intelligence agency was allegedly planning to take over the country in a “Christian coup.” Roger Best was placed on leave in March and fired in May after police discovered he had hired multiple members of his church without putting them through the usual vetting process. He hired his pastor, Ian Ezekiel Brown, as a special reserve officer. Brown is reportedly an authoritarian leader who exercises extensive control over the lives of his congregation and preaches that Christians should be armed and control the government. Jerusalem Church has about 100 members, and 25 were in top administrative positions at the intelligence agency.
