Same true of Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia, whom the Rastafari movement (including the late, Bob Marley whom I do love, but don't believe the hippie/dippie bullshit about him being a "prophet".)

Ask an Eritrean about Selassie, as I have asked my beautiful friend, Almaz.

In the early 70s, I think it was '71, the year I was born, the Shah, whose spent millions upon millions of dollars; hired DeMille-type director to recreate the Persia of 2,500 years past. This charade was to show the leaders of the world that, Mohammad Shah Pahlavi is the "direct" descendant of Cyrus the Great, the way some Assyrians think they're the great-great-great-no-so-great grandson of Ashurbanipal.

Anyway, during this masquerade of the rich and careless, the Shah gave Selassie's dog a diamond necklace worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, while Iranians were starving, no running water, no jobs, no nothing... And the following two years, in '73, Ethiopia was hit badly with the Wollow famine.

Among the Rastafari movement, whose followers are estimated at between 200,000 and 800,000, Haile Selassie is revered as the returned messiah of the Bible, God incarnate.[9][10] Beginning in Jamaica in the 1930s, the Rastafari movement perceives Haile Selassie as a messianic figure who will lead a future golden age of eternal peace, righteousness, and prosperity.[11] Haile Selassie was an Ethiopian Orthodox Christian throughout his life.

People just can't except that there are no supermen or superwomen... there are heroic moments, and they should be praised, but there is no savior other than that which is between your ears....depending if you've exorcised Jesus out of there!
