Penny Reel, NME, 27 March 1976
EVER SINCE ITALIAN propagandists began spreading false rumours concerning the demise of the Emperor, Negus Ras Tafari, Haile Selassie I, King of Kings, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah, Lord of Lords, Elect of God and Light of the Worlds, so have God Sons in J.A. been assuring I and I bretheren that the True Living God is very much alive, well and living in Zion. This time won't be like the last time; this time will be a terrible time.
