I found this old newspaper clipping. Funny how history has a knack of repeating itself. Iceland under threat from European assimilation – Christian extremism on the rise in neighbouring lands Editorial by Styrmir Bjornsson, troll chieftain – Odin Times. Friday, June 17, 886. ———————————————————————— Iceland is under threat from a foreign invasion which might change [...]

The xenophobic movement Heimssyn is now exporting its propaganda abroad.
