It bothers I to see that this reasoning is even active, where is the faith "Rastas"? Selassie I rule a DIVINE MONARCHY. A dicktator is that of Hitler: a racist, baffle-minded idiot who is not for the benefit of mankind but for the benefit of themselves. Selassie I was for the people, black or white. I man once searched the keywords "Rastafari Aryan Nation" in a Google search engine. They stated that H.I.M. was racist. Even the fake Rastafari know H.I.M. was and is far from racist. Cha! Looks like Babylon got some of you "Rastas" in their clutches. Iman shall pray for guidance and Itection. Ras Moses 

[Nazarite I]

"The world is always well supplied with people who wish to rule and dominate others. The truer leader is of a different sort. He seeks effective activity which has a truly beneficent purpose. He inspires others to follow in his wake and holding aloft the torch of wisdom, leads the way for society to realise its genuinely great aspirations."
- Haile Selassie I

I will let His Majesty's words stand as they are.

Blessed love.

All depends on your definition of a Dictator. If it's some who rules without being chosen by he's people then yes he is, but if it's some who kills he's people then no.

[Nazarite I]

Except Selassie I did end life. Both in battle and outside of it. When His most trusted advisor turned against His Majesty while He was in Brazil, His Majesty had no qualms putting down the revolt. The body of that man and his co-conspiritors hung in the main square of Addis Ababa for a week.
And His Majesty is no stranger to battle either. Before He was crowned as the King of Kings and Lord of Lords, His Majesty fought in battle several times against those who would have stood in His way. Similarly, when the Italians invaded, His Majesty was commanding His army in person. Close enough to the fighting to receive serious mustard gas burns on His arms and hands.
No doubt these demo-crazy governments would call His Majesty a dictator. They'd be scrabbling to topple Him from His throne if they could, but I and I know that His Majesty works and fights for His people and their upliftment while they fight only for wealth and power. If they call His Majesty's rule a dictatorship, then give I that dictatorship over their system any day.

"Leaders are people who raise the standards by which they judge themselves, and by which they are willing to be judged. A love of high quality, we must remember is essential in a leader."
- H.I.M Haile Selassie I

Give I that leader over David Cameron, Barrack Obama, Silvio Berlesconi or Angela Merkle.

Blessed love.

Guess he was a dictator then.

[Nazarite I]

That may be the word babylon uses, but I and I know better than that. His Majesty is a King and an Emperor coming through the lineage of King Solomon and King David, not some tinpot dictator who clings to power like his life depends on it. Look at the teachings of His Majesty and the works He undertook to improve, protect and uplift Ethiopia and decide for yourself whether their word dictator in the way that babylon mean it can really be applied to His Majesty.
Look what happened in 1974 when the influence of Moscow finally removed His Majesty from political power in Ethiopia. The Kremlin called His Majesty to Moscow to tell Him that if He stepped down then He would be allowed to leave into exile once again. His Majesty said to them "We are not afraid of destiny" then returned to His plane and flew back to Ethiopia. When the revolution came, His Majesty didn't send in the troops as His advisors and even His daughter advised Him. Even though the majority of the army was still loyal, His Majesty stayed and stood with dignity even as the rebels put Him under house arrest.
What followed under Mengistu was a dictatorship. What Selassie I gave to Ethiopia was leadership and it is the same thing that He gives to I and I.
I and I don't praise His Majesty and live Righteous because Selassie I dictated it. I and I live so because I and I see the Righteous example of His Majesty and recognise it as Righteous and follow in His wake as He holds aloft that torch of wisdom.

Blessed love.

It certainly looks like too many people a look pon H.I.M. and don't really overs the fullness of what's really going on.
They don't realise that Selassie I is an immutable Process within the Function of Purpose.

By that I mean, the very acknowledgment of H.I.M serves to open up the enslaved mind to that consciousness derived from within, and it helps to show one that the intellect that is derived from systematic teachings are Babylonian in origin.

One thing about Selassie I is; that when you a really deal with truths and rights, It don't matter what you read or what someone tells you
out a road or on a forum, it's about what resonates within a one. It is that intrinsic feeling within the I, that cannot be told but can only
be felt. When I was growing up as a child, de Rasta round my endz never once come and direct me to read anything, them just show I
certain things which resonated wid Iman, and as I grew up I realised that the Church and the system couldn't make I feel the consciousness
that the elders did show I, the consciousness that is inside I and I. So when you know something you just know, sometimes there is no words to express that, it just is.

Some once wrote that there is no speech or language where my voice cannot be heard. The elders did show I from way-back when, that the real truth lies within that place where no speech or language exists.

I would end by stating the following: 'Although change is a constant, The truth never changes, the only thing that changes, is one's perspective of it.

Hail H.I.M.
