as always, absolute pleasure to hear Lawrence Freeman in discussion about the imperial Western system of putting the jackboot down on any industrialization of African economies and how Ethiopia is leading the way with its self-funded Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam ( GERD) which is a monumental project and one of the continent`s leading lights towards POWERING industrialization which IS A HUMAN RIGHT

HORN REVIEW: IDEAS CONNECTIONS SYNERGY SIXTEENTH EDITION: Grand Narratives as Foundational Constructs of Ethiopia’s Foreign Policy

Lawrence Freeman is a distinguished researcher and analyst with over 30 years of experience specializing in the social, political, and economic dynamics of the African continent. Freeman has dedicated significant attention to Ethiopia, producing a wealth of insightful commentaries on the country’s evolving challenges and opportunities. Interview by Horn Review, was conducted during Mr. Freeman’s visit to Ethiopia (May 12-25, 2025)

“GERD, Agricultural Reforms and the Future of Regional Integration in the Horn of Africa”

Horn Review: Professor Freeman, welcome to our podcast. Great to have you here. Lawrence Freeman: Thank you very much.

Horn Review: From your perspective, how would you assess the trajectory of Ethiopia’s current agricultural reform agenda? Are the recent state-led initiatives showing signs of structural change? Lawrence Freeman: Yes, I would say that the progress being made by Ethiopia in agriculture is very significant. The government thinks they have already reached self-sufficiency on wheat in 2022/23, and they’re projecting they may be able to produce 30 million tons of wheat in 2025. Several things have taken place that have made it effective. One is they’re increasing the use of irrigation, which is necessary for modern farming. This has increased the number of hectares where they can grow crops. Second, Ethiopian farming was based on subsistence farming of one to two hectares, but now the concept is cluster farming, where groups of farmers come together, prepare the land, plant, plow, and use advanced machinery collectively. This collective strength has led to a huge increase in productivity and income per hectare, according to the agricultural department. These are some of the things Ethiopia is doing, and pretty much Ethiopia should no longer be importing any food from this point on. This is very important because Africa, for no good reason, was importing tens of billions of dollars of food across the continent, even though the land was perfectly capable and was self-sufficient in the 60s and 70s. Due to neoliberal economic policies, development stopped. Ethiopia is playing a very good role in promoting this kind of development. This has been one of the driving points of Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. They have reduced levies on buying tractors and equipment and reduced taxes. The whole orientation of promoting agriculture is substantial and hopefully will continue.

Ethiopia’s Majestic GERD Is Not Appreciated By The U.S. & West

July 21, 2024

On July 14, I participated in an hour long podcast called, The Winers (click on the video above). It was a friendly and informative discussion that centered around Ethiopia’s Grand Ethiopian Renaissance Dam-GERD, and its policy for development. After the podcast began with a three minute video of the GERD, we had a lively discussion that included the following topics.

  • What was wrong with USAID, and will President Trump’s African policy be better for Africa
  • President trump’s “lunch summit” with five African nations
  • United States’ historic role surveying the GERD from 1957 to 1964
  • Egypt’s geopolitical opposition to the GERD
  • President John Kennedy, the last US leader who understood Africa
  • Ethiopia’s commitment to expanding its manufacturing sector
  • Erroneous claim of China’s debt-trap policy
  • Progress by Ethiopia in agriculture especially production of wheat
  • The Global South’s opposition to Israel’s genocide in Gaza

The US, BRICS & BlackRock: the Relative Power Index

20 May 2025

In this comprehensive talk, Shahid Bolsen dismantles the illusion of Western dominance and reveals the hidden architecture of global power through the lens of the Middle Nation Relative Power Index (RPI). This is not geopolitical analysis. It’s a forensic audit of who really rules the world. From the privatized power of BlackRock to the fading sovereignty of the United States, from the engineered collapse of Western dominance to the structural rise of BRICS+ and the Global South — this monologue maps the tectonic realignment shaping the 21st century. 

Why is America no longer using its power for itself? 

How did BlackRock become a sovereign power with no flag?

What is BRICS+ really building — and how will it make empire irrelevant? This is the world as it truly operates. Not the theater. The script. Not the headlines. The mechanics.

Trump, Tariffs and Treason: A Return to the True Economic Heritage of the USA

22 Jan 2025

This Sunday January 19 historian Sam Labrier introduces a masterclass of the American System of Political Economy from Ben Franklin and Alexander Hamilton through Henry Clay, Matthew Carey, Lincoln and the 20th century anti-imperial traditions of the USA which have driven world history in a positive direction over the past 250 years.

This exercise in studying universal history will also involve a prolonged appreciation to the nature of evil and the oligarchist deep state structures which have sought to undermine the victories of 1776 and transform the USA into a morally bankrupt expansionist empire. The title of Sam’s lecture was ‘Trump, Tariffs and Treason: A Return to the True Economic Heritage of the United States’.

Sam’s lecture will be followed by 10 weeks of lectures on the topic of ‘Saving the Republic’ tackling different aspects of the forgotten ‘American System’ with classes showcasing the battle lines of 1776, Alexander Hamilton’s war with Wall Street, the Henry Clay patriots, John Quincy Adams’ program, Lincoln, Henry C. Carey, McKinley, FDR, JFK and even American system allies in Russia, Asia and Africa during the past century.

Why Protectionism without Glass-Steagall Risks Total Failure

Why Protectionism without Glass-Steagall Risks Total Failure

12 April

With the application of protective tariffs applied across the board by President Trump, many are proclaiming the age of Neo-Liberalism dead.

Neoliberalism was another name given to Globalization, and the intention was always toxic.

The notion was as simple as it was evil… Instead of producing for ourselves, the productive industrial powers of each nation state would be stripped down to dependent shells of their former selves. Under this program outlined by David Rockefeller’s Trilateral Commission, which literally took over the US government in 1973, the world would be now organized around a caste system of first, second and third worlds.
