Part I
Let me make a bold prediction. The fix is in! Blinken, Sullivan and Susan Rice have set up the preconditions to do a number on Ethiopia.Their plan is to break Ethiopia’s back and bring her to her knees using the leverage of US aid, multilateral loans from the World Bank, restrictions on U.S. investments, sanctions; and in concert with the European Union work covertly with Ethiopia’s domestic and foreign enemies to destabilize Ethiopia and pave the way for the return of the TPLF. Alemayehu G. Mariam, “Speaking Truth to President Joe Biden”, January 25, 2021.
The visa sanction is only the tip of the iceberg. The R Ice Woman cometh after Ethiopia with the “fire and fury of sanctions the world has never seen!”…The duchess of darkness’s sanctions war on Ethiopia is just getting started…
Aunt Suzie and Uncle Joe: Cut out your psychological gas lighting game telling us, “There are ethnic cleansing, massacres, genocide… in Ethiopia…”
I have only one question for the duchess of darkness: Which part of leave Ethiopia the hell alone don’t you understand!?…
There is American Taliban. Now, there is American Woyane. Behold Susan Rice! We must chase those democ-rats out of congress in 2022!
Serial Sanctions Suzie’s hit job on Eritrea in 2009
When Susan Rice, the duchess of darkness, became U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. on January 26, 2009, she had Eritrea in her crosshairs.
On December 23, 2009, Rice wrangled the United Nations Security Council into adopting Resolution 1907 imposing an arms embargo and other sanctions on Eritrea accusing the Eritrean Government of aiding Al-Shabaab terrorism in Somalia.
Resolution 1907 was a hit job on Eritrean President Isaias Afewerki by Susan Rice on behalf of her “family friend” Meles Zenawi, the late thug master of the late Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF).
The sanction was Susan Rice’s payback to President Isaias for not bowing down to her when she “mediated” the Ethio-Eritrean war in the late 1990s. She was insulted when an outraged President Isaias threw her out on her tail. Hell hath no fury like Susan Rice hell-bent on revenge!
At the time Susan Rice said, “the council acted ‘not hastily, not aggressively,’ but with the aim of seeking constructive dialogue with the Eritrean government. She explained members of the Security Council have repeatedly urged Eritrea ‘not to continue actions which destabilize Somalia’ and to ‘resolve peacefully’ the border skirmish with Djibouti.” (Italics added.)
On May 25, 1999, Rice testifying before the House Subcommittee on Africa falsely accused President Isaias as “sponsor state terrorism”.
But when her “family friend”, Meles Zenawi, summarily and in flagrant violation of international law undertook mass deportation of some “60,000 Eritreans and Ethiopians of Eritrean descent” from Ethiopia, Susan Rice was silent as the grave.
In 2021, Susan Rice is the frontline defender and champion of the TPLF terrorists designated as such by the Global Terrorism Database as well as the Terror Research and Analysis Consortium (TRAC). The Ethiopian Parliament has also declared the TPLF a terrorist organization.
Susan Rice was Meles’ hit woman back then and she is the TPLF’s hit woman/henchwoman today.
In Ethiopia in 2021, Susan Rice is the not-so-invisible hand behind the curtain puppet mastering Blinken, Sullivan, Power and others to do her dirty work.
Fast forward 2021: Serial Sanctions Suzie’s hit job on Ethiopia
The duchess of darkness is using the same exact M.O. on Ethiopia and Prime Minster Abiy Ahmed in 2021 when she imposed sanctions. Let’s be perfectly clear.
Antony Blinken, the human broken record (because he robotically repeats what the Duchess tells him over and over); who issued the sanctions is Suzie Rice’s gofer and puppet.
After all, Blinken worked for Susan Rice for years. She’s got him trained: She tells him to jump, he asks how high and how many times.
All of Susan Rice’s efforts are geared to accomplish one and only one thing: break the knees of the Ethiopian government and force negotiations with the TPLF!
Susan Rice launched her Rescue TPLF Mission before she was formally appointed to become Biden’s “Domestic Policy Advisor”. (Suzie was angling to become Biden’s VP and Obama tried to nominate her for the job Blinken holds today. She is so toxic; the Senate would not touch her with a ten-foot pole.
Suzie began tweeting like the devil (no pun intended) trying to save her darling Tigray People’s Liberation Front (TPLF) demons ten days after the TPLF launched an attack on the Ethiopian Northern Command On November 14, 2020, 5 days after her TPLF was routed by Ethiopian National Defense Forces, Susan Rice tweeted in absolute panic to then Assistant Secretary of State for African Affairs Tibor Nagy, “Save the TPLF and now”.
Rice’s Rescue TPLF Mission tweet set off an echo chamber of tweets by “Secretary of State” Antony Blinken and National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan. I knew Suzie’s game plan the day Biden was sworn in.
On January 25, 2021, four days after Biden’s inauguration, I wrote an open letter to Biden in which I foretold exactly what was going to happen with the Duchess of Darkness in the driver seat:
Let me make a bold prediction. The fix is in! Blinken, Sullivan and Susan Rice have set up the preconditions to do a number on Ethiopia. Their plan is to break Ethiopia’s back and bring her to her knees using the leverage of US aid, multilateral loans from the World Bank, restrictions on U.S. investments, sanctions; and in concert with the European Union work covertly with Ethiopia’s domestic and foreign enemies to destabilize Ethiopia and pave the way for the return of the TPLF.
I take no pleasure in saying, “I TOLD YOU SO!” But I told you so! I told you on May 10, 2021, Serial Sanctions Suzie would pull her sanctions scam in my commentary “Susan Rice’s May Surprise Sanctions Dirty Trick” against Ethiopia on May 10, 2020. The sanctions were intended to rain on the scheduled June 5 elections.
Suzie believed she could throw the elections into disarray by announcing sanctions. It backfired. Suzie Rice would have much preferred to use the U.N. Security Council to impose sanctions just like she did with Eritrea. That would have given her “plausible deniability” (she could say, “I didn’t do it! The UNSC did!) Her wicked efforts failed as China, Russia and India sneered at the very idea.
But she was able to get the European Union to “sanction” Ethiopia by refusing to disburse 107 million USD in “budget support”. I also told you on May 17, 2021; Susan Rice’s second May Surprise will be a U.S. Declaration that there is genocide in Tigray.
Today (5/27/21) the Senate Foreign Relations Committee got assurances from the State Department a genocide declaration in Tigray will be issued soon. The bottom line is this: Serial Sanctions Suzie is at the end of her ropes. The duchess of darkness is completely frustrated and desperate.
Her Machiavellian machinations, intrigues, plots and conspiracies did not amount to diddly squat. Suzie’s magic wand and incantations have failed to restore the TPLF to power or even get them to the negotiating table. Suzie’s magic broomstick could not transport the dead and gone TPLF back from hell to Ethiopia.
Suzie’s voodoo has failed to get the UN Security Council to sanction Ethiopia. Suzie’s abracadabra to demonize Ethiopia and bewitch European countries to condemn Ethiopia’s law enforcement action in its own territory has failed.
Suzie’s best efforts to coordinate Western press-titutes, journaLIEsts and poli-stitutes, including members of Congress and lobbyists, to sideline Ethiopia as an international pariah did not amount to a hill of beans on The Hill.
Suzie has been unable to get her mojo working on Ethiopia or Eritrea. Despite her efforts, she has created nothing more than an echo chamber of frogs. Susan Rice knows she is running out of time and out of tricks.
Inside Suzie’s Ethiopia Sanctions Bag of Tricks
On May 23, 2021, Suzie Rice’s top bot (policy robot) (a/k/a Antony Blinken) issued what I call the edit of the duchess of darkness.
The Edict, in secular terms is known as “sanctions”, was issued under Section 212(a)(3)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act which provides: “An alien whose entry or proposed activities in the United States the Secretary of State has reasonable ground to believe would have potentially serious adverse foreign policy consequences for the United States is inadmissible.”
It is rather odd Blinken did not invoke Section 7031(c) of the Department of State, Foreign Operations, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2019 (P.L. 116-6; 8 Section 7031(c) which “requires the Secretary of State to make foreign officials and their immediate family members ineligible for U.S. entry” and grants authority to the Secretary of State to “designate” sanctions individuals “publicly or privately.”
Why isn’t Blinken naming names of the so-called sanctioned persons publicly? Should not the world know who these “bad hombres” are? Could it be that Blinken’s sanction is based on lies, damned lies and disinformation?
Anyway, those individuals could not care less whether they are denied entry visas. In Suzie’s World, the duchess of darkness runs a Sanctions Star Chamber where the innocent are drawn and quartered in secret and without an opportunity to defend or speak for themselves.
