Erik Bauxitebasher | 25-07-2007 01:01 | Anti-militarism | Climate Chaos | Repression | London | Sheffield | World

Saving Iceland has organized a 'summer of dissent' as a part of a campaign against the war-mongering aluminum industry and their subservient pets in Government.

Had the leaders then heeded Osagyefo's advice Afrika would now be a GLOBAL SUPER POWER able to determine its own affairs without White interference.
