Here's an article that should be read by every one of us. It's about a global agenda that the foundations of Rockefeller and Bill Gates are working on together. These two foundations are anything but philanthropic. I urge everyone to find more information about the nefarious agenda behind both foundations and the network that they represent. Anyway, here's an article. Very interesting. You'll learn something you never knew before.

What's wrong with Microsoft? By the way, that article is the driveling of a paranoid fool. The things that masquerade as "research" these days baffle me.

The game is actually Wednesday night local time and 4:30am Barcelona time… may be a little misleading for some readers.

If that scum bag, Murdoch, has anything to do with Barcelona, I would be ashamed to support the team!

Hey Murdoch paid billions of pounds for the rights to the EPL. He is a good businessman and it's ironic how an 'Aussie' is controlling the rights to a British national sport. Anyhow he knows the money is in the world game and he will be knocking on Barca's door. Bandwagon or not he is better than American companies.

HAHA Ruport is a fucking walking cancer! He is the same shit as American corporations just from a different asshole. His Fox News in the States pushed the opinion polls for a war in Iraq that has left millions of children dead, injured, or orphaned. We have the Unicef logo on our shirt and having Murdoch involved in our club is antithetical to our philosophy to say the least.
