Wasn't it better to title your post "a tribute to the deceased Kissinger, today" (the content could have been summarized and summed up with a short word "we are not satisfied with the relationship between Russia and Ethiopia".

The main problem in doing this is to reassure Haile Selassie of our support without being drawn into his own parochial and exaggerated view of threats to Ethiopian security. The Emperor has an appetite for U.S. arms which we can neither satisfy under present military aid limitations nor justify in terms of our own estimate of his position. Moreover, military concerns divert the Emperor from economic development -- where we can help and where prompt action is crucial to Ethiopia's stability and thus to our interests in the country.

July 6, 1969

MEMORANDUM FOR THE PRESIDENT
FROM: Henry A. Kissinger
SUBJECT: Your Meeting with Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia -- Tuesday, July 8, 10:30 a. m. (Kissinger told the then President of USA, possibly Nixon or Johnson, not to give any military support to Ethiopia).

Thus the student riots this spring at the Imperial University in Addis Ababa, and a growing concern (which we should share) that the Emperor's death will usher in a period of political chaos. Basic reform of the government is probably not possible while the Emperor is alive. But a serious effort to spur economic development could provide an escape valve for the volitile energies and frustrations in Ethiopia. The Emperor took a halting step in that direction last February by bringing younger progressives into key economic jobs in his Cabinet. These men could make the difference between orderly change and a blow-up in Ethiopia. As with the Shah of Iran and his reformers over the last decade, we have a stake in their success. It remains an open question whether the problem is soluble. Modernization may make royal rule impossible but failure to modernize may produce an explosion.

It seems that they sanctioned the murdering of the royal in Ethiopia, while they still bow to the one in their mother land on the other side of the Atlantic.

Revelations,

here is another clear linkage why the "hearing" should be more of a tribute to the deceased Kissinger, than a sort of new political deliberation by the congressional organ.

Kissinger: Confront Soviets in E. Africa Kissinger Advocates More Active Anti-Soviet Role in East Africa

The man has been always an enemy of Ethiopia and the current day congress also decided on his final death day to renew his legacy. Rest in Hell!

Enemy is always enemy!

50% of Tigrian women have been sexually abused. This is crazy.

I once had a conversation with a Filipino man who expressed his disappointment at the United States for not making the Philippines a US territory, just as they did to Guam, Puerto Rico, The Virgin Islands, etc.

I was shocked to learn that the US had actually colonized the Philippines for 48 years from 1898 to 1946, which is the very reason why so many Filipinos feel betrayed for not being able to join the ranks of US territories. But what difference does it make if your country's fate is decided by US lawmakers? You may not get the exclusive perks that US territories enjoy, but at the very least your fate lies in the hands of US lawmakers.

Everything Mike Hammer said can be summed up in a single sentence: We armed the expendable agame to ignite a war for the sole purpose of adding more debt to Ethiopia's $26 billion external debt.

More than one and half million agame died in the war, and Ethiopia accrued additional $20 billion debt fighting the war, to bring the country's total external debt to around $60 billion, which includes its $14 billion debt to China.

Debt bondage is the most cruel ploy Neo-colonialists use to control a country, which is usually settled by the victim country's leaders becoming mercenaries tasked with carrying out invasions and destabilization in exchange for extended debt repayment plans at their own peril.

If there was such a body of the so called Ethiopian Diaspora back then, then HIM Haile-Selasie would have been a very soft target for the vulture of American Imperialism. He had a luck that this curse was not created back then.

What has not changed over the time is the constant drive to conquer the world and bring it under themselves.
