On This Day In History
1991: Ethiopian capital falls to rebels, ending seventeen years of Marxist rule

Quote Of The Day
"Colonel Mengistu Haile Mariam helped overthrow Emperor Haile Selassie, seized power in Ethiopia; murdered his own ministers with a machine gun, imposed a brutal Leninist tyranny and repressive police state, ordered the murder of millions of his countrymen and created, by policy and blunder, a famine that killed millions more. He ranks as one of Africa's most disastrous monsters."
(Simon Sebag Montefiore, Monsters: History's Most Evil Men and Women )

Anonymous has just announced that in 38 days time "the truth of our countries will be revealed." Kyle Kulinski doesn't seem to notice that 38 days from now is the fourth of July; he says it's an "oddly random number." He also seems certain that this message is directed to Donald Trump, but Trump is not mentioned. In fact, it refers to "countries," plural. It also refers to "the world." I can't help but wonder, is this something to do with Immaculate Constellation? Will Anonymous reveal the truth about aliens on Independence Day? How fitting that would be.
