1/ These are some of the earliest reference to 'Tigray Genocide'. Within 48 hours of the start of the war, the claim of genocide took off. (have already done a couple of threads on #TPLF & genocide as a political strategy)

The pro-#TPLF propaganda machinery understood and exploited a particular weaknesses of the liberals clinically. They exploited the mortal fear of the liberals of being accused of racism or aiding and abetting a genocide or sexual exploitation.

They understood all too well that all they needed to do was make the allegation. They harassed dissenting voices right and left. The pro-#TPLF side made great use of the fear of getting cancelled. It worked like a charm!

2/This strategy was given an official nod by Rice with this tweet. This tweet was also a tacit sign for the MSM and HR groups which side the USG is on. This was followed by unrelenting barrage of negative coverage by the media, @amnesty & @hrw.

The cries of ethnic cleansing and genocide reached fever pitch in spring of 2021, before the ENDFs sudden withdrawal from Tigray in June.

3/ With ENDF out of Tigray, the claims of 'mass rape, ethnic cleansing & genocide' became less viable. The change in strategy this time around was heralded by none other than @PowerUSAID. The MSM-HR complex took note & shifted their warcry to 'defacto humanitarian aid blokacde.'

4/ With TPLF routed from Afar, the flow of aid improved significantly. The GOE by facilitating aid delivery to the extent of having no 'backlog of trucks' moved the ball into the court of #TPLF.

5/ The US's whole rationale for any kind of response, whether sanctions or #R2P, is contingent on the myth of humanitarian blockade. Without this myth the whole edifice would collapse. The @UNEthiopia admission of the missing trucks have put a significant dent on this claim.

6/ Now GR and Power are scrambling to either maintain the myth of humanitarian blockade of shift the narrative back to 'genocide' & 'rape'. Or create a new narrative such as the ludicrous claim that Ethiopia is a 'national security threat' to the US.

7/The USG knows fully well their support for TPLF is prolonging the war and incentivzing TPLF to prevent humanitarian aid from reaching the people of Tigray, Power & co are as willing as the TPLF to sacrifice the people of Tigray to bring TPLF back as a viable political entity.

8/ The big question is how long can you sustain such an elaborate lie with so many holes and inconsistencies. This lie is becoming too big to maintain, it is becoming more and more fragile.

Let's keep pulling out one block at a time out of this giant Jenga until it crumbles.

9/ It is time for Ethiopian-Americans to mobilize enmasse as a voting block and make our voices heard way before the midterm elections.

Let's take a page out of the Pro-#TPLF bloc's playbook. Let's write to our representatives. Let's write to our local newspapers. Let's canvas for candidates who support our cause.

Biden won Georgia with a margin of 11,779 votes. This should be our rallying cry!
