NTM is nothing but subsidised propaganda and gratuitous provocation:[] an aping of the tough Black bands active in the Bronx in the s, minus the musical talent, power and sincerity. One coherently thought out and cogently argued. The mandate to proceed forward to the highest destiny of Man justifies a partition of resources that is unequal.
