We are yet again embroiled in a momentous and wholly unnecessary war precipitated by the reckless actions of the American Empire and its expansionist Zionist ally in their bombing of the Iranian Republic in the Middle East.

Candlesticks used in colonial times are surmounted by genuine antique Zulu spearheads.

The Zulu Iklwa historically represented the determined resistance to british Imperial expansion in Southern Africa. On January 22nd 1879, a well-armed modern British army suffered its worst and most ignominious defeat at Isandlwana in Zululand. They were also used as the symbol of Mkhonto we Siswe (The Spear of the Nation) – the armed wing of the African National Congress in the ‘Struggle’ to overthrow the Apartheid regime in South Africa.
