It’s time for people to learn the truth and know the truth: all British people are descended from blacks, and that means that black people have as much right to Britain as the people that live there.

Blacks have a right to return to their sacred homeland: Britain.

The Telegraph:

The “very first Britons were Black”, an exhibition on the diverse history of Britain has claimed.

The Brilliant Black British History exhibition held at Black Cultural Archives in Brixton, south London, makes a range of contentious claims about British history.

Visitors are informed that “the very first Britons were Black” and that “Britain was black for 7,000 years before” white people arrived.

The assertions appear to be based on a genetic study of the 12,000-year-old remains of Cheddar Man which suggested that ancient Britons had dark skin, but the study and these claims have since been contested by academics.

The exhibition at the Black Cultural Archives, which receives funding from Lambeth council and Arts Council England, is based on the Bloomsbury children’s book Brilliant Black British History, by Atinuke, the Nigerian-born poet and author.

The first display panel in the exhibition states: “By testing DNA, scientists made an amazon discovery – the first migrants to Britain around 12,000 years ago had black skin. Yes, that’s right, the very first Britons were black!”

By scanning a QR code, visitors can listen to audio which expands on this, claiming that “the white first Britons migrated 4,500 BC years ago. Britain was Black for 7,000 years before that”.

In 2018, it was announced that a genetic study of Cheddar Man, the oldest set of human remains to have been found in Briton, suggested that “giveaway” genes meant he likely had blue eyes and a range of possible skin pigmentations from “dark to black”.

A model created to represent Cheddar Man, which featured in Channel 4 documentary at the time, depicted the Mesolithic hunter-gatherers with a very dark skin pigmentation.

But the leader of the genetic study, Susan Walsh, clarified that Cheddar Man’s appearance was uncertain, while a separate 2017 study from geneticist Sarah Tishkoff found that predicting likely pigmentation based on “giveaway” genes was inaccurate.

The Brilliant Black British History exhibition, which runs until January 28, covers the racial makeup of Britain from per-history to the modern-day, and claims that the 3rd century AD Roman Emperor Septimius Severus was “a Black Roman ruler”.


Not just kangz, but also emporarz

Severus, who died in what would become York, was born in north Africa, but was of Italian and Middle Eastern descent.

The exhibit claims that 11 per cent of Roman York was “Black”, possibly based on a 2009 study, which suggested 11 per cent of one set of human remains may have been migrants who “mainly originated from northern Africa (modern Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and Libya)”.

The exhibit in Brixton contains a panel with acknowledgements from Bloomsbury, who published the book on which the displays are based, which thanks the research of librarians, scientists and historians who made the exhibition possible.

Its historical and scientific claims, while toned down from the book which claims black people built Stonehenge, have nevertheless caused concern.

Cambridge historian Professor David Abulafia said: “The Brixton expo is new to me but the tendentious tone seems to be exactly what I would expect. I am totally nonplussed by the obsession with the skin colour of people in Britain’s remote past.”

This might be getting a bit out of hand…

Over 5,000 “Migrants” Invade Spanish Enclave of Ceuta https://www.anglinarchive.com/2021/05/18/over-5000-migrants-invade-spanish-enclave-of-ceuta/ Tue, 18 May 2021 00:00:00 +0000

You remember that thing where all those Moslems were flooding into Europe?

Yeah well, that’s ongoing.

It’s hard to keep up with things, I know.

The Guardian:

More than 5,000 migrants, about 1,000 of them presumed to be minors, crossed into Spain’s northern African enclave of Ceuta on Monday, in an unprecedented influx that left Spanish officials scrambling to bolster police presence in the tiny territory.

Ceuta, along with nearby Melilla, has long been a magnet for African migrants hoping to cross into Europe, despite being heavily protected and fortified with a double fence. The mass crossing into Ceuta comes amid heightened tensions between Madrid and Rabat over Spain’s decision to allow a Western Sahara independence leader to be treated for Covid-19 in Spain.

The Spanish government delegation in Ceuta told El País that migrants began crossing into the territory in the early hours of Monday, steadily streaming in from neighbouring Morocco all day. Those making the crossing ranged from young men to mothers cradling babies and entire families. As migrants swam or used inflatable boats to skirt the breakwater that marks the border, at least one migrant was reported to have died in the attempt.

…

The mass crossing comes as relations between Morocco and Spain have been strained over Madrid’s decision to allow Brahim Ghali, the leader of the Polisario Front, to be hospitalised in northern Spain after he contracted Covid-19. The Polisario Front has long fought for the independence of Western Sahara from Morocco.

Spanish officials said the independence leader was taken to Spain for “strictly humanitarian reasons”.

Ghali’s arrival in Spain sparked vociferous protest from Rabat, with Morocco’s foreign ministry describing Spain’s move as “inconsistent with the spirit of partnership and good neighbourliness” and warning it would have “consequences”.

On Monday, Mohammed Ben Aisa, head of the Northern Observatory for Human Rights, a nonprofit group that works with migrants in northern Morocco, linked the migrants’ crossing to the diplomatic row. “The information that we have is that the Moroccan authorities reduced the usually heavy militarisation of the coasts, which comes after Morocco’s foreign ministry statement about Spain’s hosting of Brahim Ghali,” Ben Aisa told the Associated Press.

So that’s some kind of esoteric regional event, where the coronavirus hoax has been used to make a political that is resulting in thousands of people pouring over the border.

I wonder why when you’re mad at a country, you would send an army of violent adult men into the country?

Can’t think of any connection between those two thing.

Latest reports are saying it’s actually 6,000.

Those numbers are always low-balled.

Tunisia Gets Its First Faggot Candidate for President https://www.anglinarchive.com/2019/07/10/tunisia-gets-its-first-faggot-candidate-for-president/ Wed, 10 Jul 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Spartacus

When these sandniggers overthrew their dictator a few years ago, I don’t think they really knew what they were getting themselves into.

When most people who live in countries that aren’t democratic hear the word “democracy,” what they really think of is a higher standard of living like they have in most of Europe, North America and East Asia.

What they don’t really understand is that the reason those places aren’t shitholes is that White and yellow people live in them, and that whatever prosperity exists in those places is done in spite of democracy, not because of it.

What (((democracy))) actually means, in today’s context, is basically creating a chaotic country that can be easily subverted by Jews, primarily through weaponizing the lowest, most disgusting forms of life in said countries – faggots, junkies, criminals, pedophiles, politicians, etc. – and using them as a battering ram against society at large in order to further destabilize – and therefore, allow for a greater degree of subversion of – that society.

Or in simpler terms: Hiroshima doesn’t look better than Detroit because of the political system, but because it’s inhabited by Japs instead of niggers.

Breitbart:

Openly gay Tunisian lawyer and prominent LGBT rights advocate Mounir Baatour wants to become the next president of Muslim-majority Tunisia, where homosexuality is currently punishable by up to three years in prison, several news outlets reported over the weekend.

Islam, which forbids homosexuality, is the official state religion in the North African country. Nearly 100 percent of the population is Muslim, according to the CIA World Factbook and other independent sources.

Prison?

CUCKS!

That’s not in the Korean. I mean the Koran.

Also – how come nobody’s complaining about this country being almost 100% Moslem?

How come they don’t need any diversity?

The LGBT activist announced his bid for the Tunisian presidency on June 25.

“After so many years fighting for minority rights, I realized that no one can do the job better than I,” Baatour reportedly said as he rolled out his presidential campaign.

“I am calling for the repeal of Article 230, which outlaws homosexuality, from the Tunisian criminal code. The Tunisian people should decide whether they want to bring criminal charges against homosexuals and put them in jail, or if they want to get rid of the law,” he later told DW.

The news outlet noted that his chances of winning are slim, adding that “a survey conducted by the polling institute Arab Barometer shows that only 7 percent of Tunisians condone homosexuality.”

So he knows he can’t win, but he’s gonna run so he can normalize faggotry just a little more.

Besides being pro-LGBT, the Tunisian presidential candidate is also pro-Israel, which is also likely to ruffle some feathers in the Islamic country.

“We are calling for normal economic relations with all countries. We believe that enmity toward Israel and love of the Palestinian cause are not Tunisia’s real problems today,” Baatour said last year, according to an article from the Jerusalem Post published on Sunday.

“Baatour faces challenges not only from the country’s widespread contemporary antisemitism targeting the Jewish state but from the Tunisian state’s anti-gay law,” the Jerusalem Post noted.

Imagine my shock when I found out that some faggot who makes a living out of subverting his country on behalf of Jews is pro-Israel.

I would’ve never suspected that.

The presidential hopeful has also vowed to fight for gender equality.

“In Tunisia, women inherit half of what men are entitled to. I want to change that. I am calling for absolute gender equality, just as it’s written in the Tunisian constitution. Gender inequality is unconstitutional,” he told DW in the article posted on Sunday.

Oh, good, gender equality.

You absolutely and totally need that, because it worked out so well everywhere else.

LGBT rights have made headlines in Tunisia in recent months. In June 2018, a presidential committee recommended the decriminalization of homosexuality to no avail.

Although some analysts argue that the anti-homosexuality law (article 230) in Tunisia is a holdover from Tunisia’s French colonial period, the North African country’s government invoked strict Islamic rules known as sharia in a bid to shut down the LGBT rights group that the presidential hopeful chairs.

Islamic sharia, which draws on the Quran, calls for the execution of people who engage in homosexual acts. The edict is deeply ingrained in Islamic law and has been affirmed by many prominent Muslim scholars.

The Quran declares gay sex “a despised act … it is forbidden in Islam, completely, absolutely,” Imam Yaseen Shaikh, a senior leader of the Islamic Society of Baltimore, declared in February 2016.

Tunisia is one of about 70 countries where homosexuality is illegal. Many of those countries are predominantly Muslim.

They keep telling all these monkeypeople that the only reason they hate faggotry is because White people told them to, which is insane in so many ways I can’t believe they’re actually mentioning it in every article.

I’m still not sure if that’s supposed to be a psy-op against Whites or against the monkeypeople themselves or both.

“Despite the pressure, the country’s LGBT community is thriving. In January 2018, Tunisia held its first LGBT film festival in the capital, Tunis, organized by the group Mawjoudin (We Exist). It is one of the four officially recognized LGBT organizations in Tunisia, all of which have emerged since the 2011 revolution,” the Guardian reported in April.

Yep.

Slowly but surely, the Jews’ lesser enemies, the sandniggers, are (((democratizing))).

More and more of them are starting to believe that elections and buttsex and all this other filth is gonna make their countries not be shitholes anymore, when in fact all it’ll do is make them even more shitholery.

If any sandniggers are reading this – your country isn’t a shithole because you can’t put a piece of paper in a box every couple of years to pick one Jew shill over another, nor because of colonialism or a lack of faggot rights or anything like that.

Places don’t look like bits of paper, they look like the people who live in them…

…and having a political system where the only consequence of bad government is not governing for a couple of years while the other guys fuck up worse than you is just gonna make everything worse.

Never forget: Liberia has the same Constitution as the United States.

Libyan Shill Government Threatens Europe with 800,000 Refugees https://www.anglinarchive.com/2019/04/16/libyan-shill-government-threatens-europe-with-800000-refugees/ Tue, 16 Apr 2019 00:00:00 +0000 Roy Batty

The civil war in Libya is escalating again.

The kill count is starting to become respectable, entering into the hundreds.

Once again, the Russians have the best no-bullshit summary of what is going on in Libya:

The people in Tripoli – who the US supports at the moment, but keeps at arm’s length – don’t think that they can beat Haftar’s army coming at them from the East.

So Tripoli thinks that their best bet is to get France to intervene like they did the first time around. Or somebody else. So they’re making their case for why it would be prudent to support them.

Ansa:

Some 800,000 migrants are set to invade Italy from conflict-torn Libya, Premier Fayez al-Sarraj told Corriere della Sera Monday.

“Do something quickly,” he said, “the worsening of the situation in Libya could push 800,000 migrants and Libyans to invade Italy and Europe”.

Among them, he said, were criminals and, above all, jihadists linked to ISIS.

Sarraj thanked Italy for its mediation and support for peace in Libya.

Eastern Libyan strongman General Khalifa Haftar has “betrayed Libya and the international community” with his offensive on the UN-backed government in Tripoli, Sarraj said.

“We need Rome and the EU to be united and firm in blocking Haftar’s war of aggression,” he told journalists. 

Did you catch that? This is all couched in DiploSpeak, but it’s quite clear that this was a thinly veiled threat.

“Support us against Haftar, or else.”

Ghadafi said something similar.

And he was right.

He was naive to think that NATO gave a shit about Europe turning black though.

There’s nothing Europe loves more than getting BLACKED.

It’s funny that the faction in Tripoli thinks that this appeal will work. 

If anything, the EU at least will trip over itself to welcome as many niggers as absolutely possible if given the opportunity.

After all, migrants fuck the women that European men don’t have time to fuck because they’re working to pay for welfare for migrants.

Italy’s sane new government though is quite keen on resolving this new crisis.

Salvini doesn’t take kindly to niggers or the whores that fuck them.

Jesus save him.

Germany Recognizes Algerian Kikes as Holohoax Survivors; Will Start Paying Shekels https://www.anglinarchive.com/2018/02/11/germany-recognizes-algerian-kikes-as-holohoax-survivors-will-start-paying-shekels/ Sun, 11 Feb 2018 00:00:00 +0000 Spartacus

Kikes just keep pushing and pushing and pushing…

At some point, it stopped being about shekels and started being about humiliating the hated goyim, which I’m sure gives kikes more satisfaction than any amount of money ever could.

Making Europeans admit to insanely idiotic things like gas chambers, Jew soap, Jew lampshades, jerk-off machines of death and other idiocy, knowing full well that they’ve mutilated their societies to the point where they can’t deny this insanity without being ostracized, fired and in some cases even sent to prison, is probably the only way many kikes can even get a boner.

And now – now you can be a hollowcost survivor without even living the places these kikes say the hollowcost happened.

The Forward:

Close to 80 years after being persecuted by the Nazi-allied Vichy French government, some 25,000 elderly Algerian Jews are for the first time being recognized as Holocaust survivors by the German government.

Algerian Jews had their French citizenship stripped by the Vichy government, which then ruled the area, in 1940. Nuremberg-like laws banned Jews from working as doctors, lawyers, teachers and in government. Children were kicked out of French schools.

How exactly do you “survive” something that can’t actually kill you?

Or are Kikes claiming not being able to be lawyers can cause death?

On Tuesday, 78 years after they endured suffering that left families penniless and starving, and pariahs in their own country, the Conference on Material Claims Against Germany will begin taking their applications for recognition as survivors, making each eligible for a one-time “hardship grant” and additional services like food vouchers and in-home care.

Still waiting for kikes to compensate the hundreds of millions of people whose lives were destroyed with communism – a real holocaust that the (((media))) almost never talks about for some reason.

Each survivor approved will receive a hardship grant of 2,556 euros, the equivalent of roughly $3,100. The euro figure is the equivalent of 5,000 deutschmarks, a sum the Claims Conference negotiated with the German government in 1980. The money will be distributed beginning in July.

You’d think that being the wealthiest people on earth by a very wide margin, Jews would find it embarrassing to  hustle these small, insignificant sums from the goyim, and would instead take care of their own “survivors” from their own very, very deep pockets.

You’d think wrong if you thought that.

Jews are biologically incapable of letting even a single shekel unjewed.

“There weren’t extermination camps in Algeria but a person’s childhood was turned upside down because of this persecution targeting Jews. It becomes a huge part of a person’s identity. The experience during the war for so many people defines them, is the seminal experience of their lives. All these decades it’s never been acknowledged,” said Greg Schneider, executive vice president of the Conference on Material Claims Against Germany.

There actually weren’t any extermination camps anywhere, and I strongly believe the Krauts should pay the rest of us compensation for that.

Welcome to the New Libya, a Country ‘Liberated’ by NATO: No Oil Revenues, No Security, No Water, No Electricity… https://www.anglinarchive.com/2013/09/22/welcome-to-the-new-libya-a-country-liberated-by-nato-no-oil-revenues-no-security-no-water-no-electricity/ Sun, 22 Sep 2013 00:00:00 +0000 Abdel Bari Atwan

libyA1Welcome to the new Libya, a country ‘liberated’ by NATO which now finds itself without the oil revenues which could make it rich, with no security, no stability and assassinations and corruption at unprecendented levels.

Last Friday, the Economist magazine published a report about the implosion of Libya. My attention was caught by the pictures that illustrated the piece – particularly one of some graffitti on the wall of a sea front cafe in the capital Tripoli. ‘The only way to Heaven is the way to the airport’ it read.

The joke is indicative of the troubled state of Libya nowadays following ‘liberation’ by NATO warplanes in the sky and the revolution on the ground which toppled the dictatorial regime of Muammar al-Ghadaffi.

Recently I have met many peope who are visiting London from Libya and they tell stories of life there which are hard to believe.

The capital Tripoli had no water or electricity for a whole week.

The armed militia dominate and rule the streets in the absence of a workable government, a national security establishment and basic municipal services.

Onoud Zanoussi, the 18 year-old daughter of Abdullah Zanoussi, the former chief of Ghadaffi’s security establishment, was kidnapped on her release from prison following seven months behind bars accused of entering her country illegally. She was abducted in front of the prison gates and the abductor was one of the guards!

Two years ago, the British and French business community sharpened their teeth and rubbed their hands with glee in anticipation of their share of Libyan reconstruction. Now there isn’t a single foreign businessman in Tripoli, all of them ran for their lives after the assasssination of the American Ambassador and attacks on several foreign Embassies and Consulates.

During the NATO bombardment, news from Libya dominated the front pages and was the first news item on every Western and Arabic television station. There was 24-hour coverage about the Libyan Liberation miracle and the great victory achieved by NATO and the revolutionaries. Nowadays it is very rare to find a Western reporter there and even more rare to read a decent report about Libya and what is really going on there.

Oil was the main objective and the real reason for the NATO intervention; but oil producation has all but ceased due to a strike by security guards on the oil fields and export terminal. The ostensible reason for this strike is the demand for a pay rise but there is another, equally powerful, motive – they are protesting the demands of various separatist movements who are calling for self-rule for oil-rich Barca (Cyrenaica) with its capital in Benghazi. Most of Libya’s oil reserves are situated here.

Rather than the local or national government, a militia is in control of most of the oil fields and the export terminal; it has started to sell huge amounts of oil on the black market and is trying to expand these activities leading Ali Zidan, the Prime Minister, to threaten to bomb any unauthorized oil tanker going anywhere near these sites.

The irony is that the same thing is happening now in Eastern Syria where the militia and local tribes are in control of the oil fields in Deir Al-Zour, refining the oil themselves by hand and selling it on illegally. The same thing is still happening in the south of Iraq.

Iraq and Libya, of course, have ‘benefitted’ from Western intervention and Britain and France have been proud to repeat what the mother of the West (the US) used to say about Iraq; first in Libya and now – of negotiations fail – in Syria. That is: intervention will bestow great sophistication on the affected country which will immediately become a model of prosperity and stability and lead the way for other Arab countries, which are ruled by dictators, to invite and welcome military intervention. In fact, this model has produced the worst kind of anarchy, failed security, political collapse and disintegration of the state.

Chaos rules in Libya. The assassination of politicians and journalists has become normal news in today’s Libya to the extent that Colonel Yussef Ali al-Asseifar – who was charged with investigating a rash of assassinations and arresting the people behind it – was himself assasinated on the 29 August when men from an unidentified group put a bomb under his car.

On the anniversary of 9/11 last week, a huge bomb ripped through the Foreign Ministry building in Benghazi.

Human Rights Watch has highlighted another atrocity in Tripoli on August 26, 2013, at the Main Corrections and Rehabilitation Institution, known by its former name al-Roueimy, where around 500 detainees, including five women, were being held. The prisoners were on hunger strike to protest the fact that were detained without charge and in the absence of a fair trial. Unable to produce its own security detail, the government called in the Supreme Security Committee – composed of former anti-Gadaffi militiamen – to put down the uprising. Militia forces stormed the prison and shot the prisoners with live ammunition, wounding 19 people.

The Prime Minister of Libya – Awadh al-Barassi resigned on 4 August and was replaced by Ali Zeidan. Then, on 18 August, the interior minister, Mohammed al-Sheikh, resigned after only three months in post. He cited lack of support from Ali Zeidan and the government’s failure to deal with widespread unrest and violence, to gain the people’s trust, or to adequately fund state agencies to provide the most basic services.

Libya is simply disintegrating along tribal and geographical fault lines. Most of its people are in state of fury, including the Berbers in the south, and national reconciliation is a distant prospect.

Popular frustration is at its peak; yet when demonstrators took to the streets outside the barracks of the powerful ‘Libyan Shield Brigade’ to protest the unwarranted power of the militia, 31 people of their number were shot dead. The militia act completely outside the law.

Suleiman Kjam, a member of the parliamentarian committee for Energy, told a Bloomsberg reporter that the government is now spending its financial reserves after the production of oil dropped from 1.4 million barrels per day earlier this year to less than 160,000 bpd. He warned that if this situation continues, in the next few months, the government will not be able to pay the salaries of its employees.

The Gadaffi regime – and we say this for the millionth time – was an opressive dictatorship but Libya nowadays, with corruption at it peak and security non-existent, is difficult to understand or accept. Especially when we remember that Libya was liberated by the most sophisticated and advanced countries on the planet, according to Western criteria.

Mr Mohammad Abdel Azziz, the Libyan foreign minister, surprised many in the West and Arab world alike on 4 September when he objected to imminent US air strikes on Syria at a special meeting of the Arab League he was chairing to discuss possible intervention.

Maybe Mr Abdel Azziz, like many of his Libyan people, has formed his opinions as a result of the experiences of his own countrymen after Western military intervention

We hope that the people of other Arab countries, and particularly Syria, will learn from the Libyan example.

It is true that some suggest that this is a temporary state of affairs for Libya and that following this transitionary period, stability will reign. They advise us to be patient.

We hope their prophecy will prove to be correct but remain extremely skeptical with Iraq and Afghanistan also before our eyes.
