    Adolf had a vision. And there are people in palestine today that believe that Adolf Hitler was a saint, from what they have suffered from the Israelis.

    You should fear the High Parliament of UK and the Congress of USA, who have the entire Africa, Latin America and a big part of Asia, fighting civil wars while they are in control of their oil, gold and diamons, sell weapons to both parties and make progress while the others are busy killing each other. Then the queen gives a medal to the murderers because they assisted the interests of the Kingdom.

    The only way to fight this is by blocking the circulation of money. OT.
