Indifference is her worst enemy, and to those, who minimize, she answers: "People who draw a one meter swastika on a wall have to realize what they are doing." - more info here:

"The Kool Skool Book Club" - Antony C. Sutton 1925-2002 Professor, Research Fellow & Author (MUST SEE INTERVIEWS & LECTURES)

Antony C. Sutton 1925-2002 Professor, Research Fellow & Author


Antony C. Sutton 1925-2002 Professor, Research Fellow & Author
Excellent selection of rare interviews & lectures with silenced intellectual exposing the Wall Street (& European) Oligarch Familes "Strategy of Tension" techniques. Although often (mis-)quoted by the traditional right wing in the U.S. in the 80's, his information is ground breaking, and was black-balled and side-lined for his extremely damaging research, and shocking findings.


"The Kool Skool Recommends" - Wall Street & The Rise Of Hitler by Antony C. Sutton 1925-2002 Professor, Research Fellow & Author

"Anthony Sutton was born in London in 1925 and educated at the universities of London, Gottingen and California. He became a United States citizen in 1962. He was a Research Fellow at the prestigious HOOVER INSTITUTE OF WAR, REVOLUTION AND PEACE, where he produced the monumental three-volume study, Western Technology and Soviet Economic Development. Dr. Sutton was a prolific writer whose scholarly works include Wall Street and the Bolshevik Revolution and Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler. His book, Trilaterals Over Washington was the first book to be published on the Trilateral Commission.

Sutton reveals the untold story of how a group comprising the very richest men in the world, located one block off Wall Street in New York (120 S. Broadway) in a building owned by General DuPont, secretly financed the 1917 revolution of Lenin and Trotsky. Then in his work, Wall Street and the Rise of Hitler, Sutton details how this same group of monopoly capitalists financed and supplied both the leftist state of Russia and the rightist state of Germany and clashed them in war for profit.

Sutton has a great deal to say about the un-elected self imposed ruling class of the USSR and America and how they work together." - From here

Remembering the New Cross Fire 30 Years On- at The Albany Theatre, South London 14/1/10

Remembering the New Cross Fire 30 Years On

An evening to mark the 30th Anniversary of the New Cross Fire at The Albany Theatre Deptford South London 14/1/10

On Sunday January 18, 1981 a devastating house fire killed 13 young black people during a birthday party in New Cross, South East London. The black community accused the London Metropolitan Police of covering up the cause, which they suspected was an arson attack motivated by racism. The protests arising out of the fire led to a mobilization of black political activity, but nobody has ever been charged in relation to the fire.


Kwame Kwei-Armah hosts this event to mark the 30th Anniversary of the New Cross Fire incorporating music, film, spoken word and discussion to remember the young lives lost and the impact the New Cross Fire has had on the lives of Britons today.

The event hopes to be an inspiring and uplifting remembrance with contributions from Alex Pascall OBE, Professor Gus John, Film Maker Menelik Shabazz, spoken word from Courttia Newland, El Crisis and Albany Associate Artist Zena Edwards and music from The Queens of Lovers Rock Carroll Thompson and Janet Kay.
