AFRICAN MEN, FOR I, EMPEROR HAILE SELASSIE I, IS YOUR KING. I AM PROVIDING YOU WITH MY COMMANDMENTS TO EXECUTE MY JUDGMENTS. YOU MUST NOT SUBMIT TO THE CONTROL OF OTHER RULERS. I AM KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS, THE CONQUERING LION FROM THE TRIBE OF JUDAH AND THE ABSOLUTE SOVEREIGN RULER OF YOUR NATION, AND HEAVEN AND EARTH'S RIGHTFUL RULER. DO NOT PLACE YOURSELVES UNDER THE LAWS OF OTHER LEGISLATIONS. THERE IS NO OTHER EXTABLISHED AUTHORITY HIGHER THAN MINE ON EARTH OR IN HEAVEN. DO NOT LIMIT YOURSELVES TO REMAIN UNDER THE DOMINION OF FOREIGN GOVERNMENTS AND DEPRIVE YOUR NATION OF INDEPENDANCE. EXERCISE YOUR SOVEREIGN RIGHT. THERE IS NO GOVERNMENT SUPERIOR TO YOURS. YOU HAVE LAWFUL CLAIM TO EXERCISE SUPREME AUTHORITY OVER YOUR NATION. STOP GIVING INTO DIPLOMACY. ANERICA AND EUROPE USES DIPLOMACY AS A TACTICAL MANEUVER TO POSITION THEMSELVES OVER YOU. THIS THEN PUT YOU INTO AN INFERIOR POSITION UNDER THEIR LAWS WHERE YOU REMAIN IN A STATE OF SUBJECTION UNDER EXTREME OPPRESSION BEARING THE BURDEN OF THEIR REGULATIONS. DO NOT ALLOW THE U.N. TO ERECT THEIR HEADQUARTERS IN YOUR NATION. AMERICA AND EUROPE ARE SEEKING TO SETTLE THEIR GLOBAL INTERGOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION PERMANENTLY OVER YOU. THE PEACE AND SECURITY THEY SPEAK OF ONLY SERVES THEIR NATION. EXERT YOUR AUTHORITY AND ENFORCE MY LAWS TO OBTAIN INDEPENDENCE. STOP NEGOTIATING WITH THEM AND BOUNDING YOURSELVES TO BE UNDER THEIR AUTHORITY. AMERICA AND EUROPE SEE YOU AS LESS THAN AND WILL KEEP YOU IN AN OPPRESSIVE STATE WHERE YOU REMAIN SUBJECT TO THEIR RULE. THEIR AIM IS TO EXERCISE SUPREME AUTHORITY AND TAKE FULL CONTROL OVER YOUR POSSESSIONS AND USE THEM WITHOUT BEING HELD ACCOUNTABLE. STOP BEREAVING YOUR NATION FROM POSSESSING AND ENJOYING YOUR LAND AND RESOURCES. IT IS YOUR DUTY TO HINDER OUTSIDERS FROM SEIZING YOUR POSSESSIONS AND USING IT AS THEIR OWN. USE YOUR MILITARY AND TAKE CONTROL OVER YOUR LAND. OCCUPY YOUR ATTENTION ON GUARDING YOUR NATION. JOINING YOUR MILITARIES TOGETHER WILL MAKE YOUR NATION TOO GREAT TO BE SUBDUED. YOU EXCEED ALL NATIONS IS STRENGTH. THEREFORE, EUROPE DIVIDED YOU TO SUBDUE YOU. DO NOT INVEST NO NATION WITH YOUR PROPERTY. IT IS YOUR INHERITED RIGHT TO MAINTAIN CONTROL OVER YOUR LAND. PROHIBIT THE CUSTOMS AND RULES OF FOREIGN NATIONS. STOP TRADING AND MAKING TREATIES WITH THEM. THEY CLAIM TO BRING STABILITY YET YOU ARE SUFFERING FROM WAR, DISEASE, AND POVERTY BY THEIR HANDS. THEY ARE GATHERING INTEL AND PLANNING A LARGE-SCALE WAR AGAINST YOU. PUT YOURSELVES IN A STATE OF DEFENSE. THROW THEIR MILITARIES AND OFFICIALS OUT OF YOUR LAND AND SEIZE ALL THEIR WEAPONS. SUBJECT THEM TO MY LAWS AND MAKE THEM LIABLE FOR THEIR ACTS OF DEVASTATION AGAINST YOUR NATION.
