Ezili's HLLN urges Canadian residents in Windsor and surrounding areas to help us bring to the courtroom, on John Duarte's next substantive court hearing, supporters for the defenseless Haitian children defendant John Duarte is accused of raping and sodimizing.

Please contact HLLN at erzilidanto@yahoo.com for details. Remember Haitian children had no public voice in the Douglas Perlitz process until you came on the scene. The more concerned citizens speak up, the less these systemic abuses of Haiti's people and children by charity workers will occur or continue to be covered up. Men anpil Chay pa lou! - Many Hands Make Light A Heavy Load!

The collar of impunity: Also, the articles on reports on abuse by Catholic priests for more than half-a-century in Ireland and on the Jesuit abuses of Native Alaskan village children are posted on our website. This is relevant to our Haitian community as many converted and most assimilated Haitians/Africans are happy to send their kids to Catholic schools, both abroad and in Haiti. One report reveals that for 60 years over 36,000 innocent children in Catholic schools, homes and orphanages in Ireland where routinely raped, beaten and sexually abused by Catholic priests and that this was systematically covered up the Catholic Bishops and hierarchy. Another report of 320 cases of child abuse explains that between 1975 and 2004 the Catholic hierarchy in the Archdiocese of Dublin consistently favored the interests of the Church over those of the children and "kept the sexual abuse of children, at least until the mid-1990s, secret to avoid scandal, protect the reputation of the Church and to preserve its assets."

This is an important piece of information to share, not only because of the
current Perlitz and Duarte pedophile cases and the fact so many elite-schooled Haitians have been sexually abused by the degenerate priests and pastors "educating" them in Haiti, but because, if this level of abuse is possible in Ireland, a country where the rule of law is institutionalized and where US/Euro colonialism is not dehumanizing the Irish majority and summarily denying them the right to vote and rule themselves through sponsorship of coup d'etats and regime changes; if this repugnance is possible in such a developed country by the Catholic priests, imagine what perverted Catholic priests, missionaries, foreign soldiers, mercenaries, colonist adventurers, aid workers and nuns have been doing in defenseless Haiti and Africa for centuries!

Going back to source, self-reliance, cultural autonomy, control of our territory, domestic economy and children's education and not dependency is the way to Haiti's freedom, respect, dignity and owning our own selves.

In love, respect and towards more harmony,

Ezili Dantà ²/HLLN
