Expect more of this as Britain exits the European Union. Don't be excited about this, its actually a long term ploy to take control of your mind, to enslave you, to de-Africanize you as much as possible, to have you think Britain. Long time ago, I forecasted this and many more, cause history tells me that would be the next move for Britain as they plan to return their former colonies to some sort of slavery- the only way they'll survive outside of the EU. See it is time to abolish the commonwealth www.africason.com/2016/08/its-time-to-abolish-commonwealth-of.html I have warned us several times both on my blog and on this forum, I have writen an open letter to African kings. Believe it or not, a new form of slavery is coming!!. The maturity would be about 2050-2060. If nothing is done now, we would get to a point of no-return by 2060. 3 Likes 1 Share |
