Tariq was fire this week

Watch "THE SECRET TO SELLING THE NEGRO 1954" on YouTube

Tariq did a show on this too. It's always interesting how they still follow codes from the 50's and back. Back then they was blatant with the racism in books and on TV. Now they dress it up but it's still the same intent.

Is Kilimanjaro still committed to its Future Contingent Assets in Africa?

By all means yes! We are bullish about Cabinda, Biafra, and Southern Cameroons prospects for the long term. The politics in those regions favor eventual self-determination. These assets have minimal carrying costs and a huge upside if successful. We are also observing the situation in Zimbabwe and waiting for opportunities to arise there in the Matabeleland region when the ZANU-PF government of Mugabe finally exits.

Cabinda is in Angola and Biafra in Nigeria. All three regions are home to separatist movements which seem to have found financial backing in the West. Again...

This is based on the assumption that people are ONLY doing what you see them do online

This is a message board after all. I don't know what kind of activism you expect from a platform like this.
