From Nairobi Kenya,I have observed the details of the teachings of Mr Griffin for the last 20 years.Initially I was skeptical but as it is said "I choose the red pill" and to my shock everything I knew was a lie.Mr Griffin had that effect 10000 Kilometers away in East Africa.
May God sustain the family members of Mr Griffin and may they continue in the quest to help humanity understand the truth about the world we are living in and how to overcome it Amen,
