This unsubstantiated and racist fear mongering of USAID, Robert Gates and the State Department and their counterparts in France and Canada was transmitted and continues to be transmitted to both the incoming militaries and all the NGOs in post-earthquake Haiti as before. It's a self-fulfilling prophecy to keep Haiti in perennial bondage and in need of "rescue." Their media sycophants took on the refrain and, as usual, it has cost HAITIAN lives! (See, Security concerns cause doctors to leave hospital, quake victims .)


HLLN EARTHQUAKE RELIEF FUND


HLLN has launched the HLLN - Nou La/We are here! - relief fund to help the earthquake victims and to use this crisis limelight on Haiti to SHOW that it's USAID and its NGOs and US policy in Haiti that's violent. Haitians are a peaceful people. USAID and its Haitian Oligarchy and NGO subcontractors, masturbating on Black pain, for over 50-years with zero development achievement, have been trumpeting the "Haitians-are-criminals-bandits-corrupt-and-violent-line" to mostly keep
itself in a job. Because of this Western narrative about Haiti, because the
powers-that-be traditionally support dictatorship against the people's
choice, Haitians are the most persecuted human beings in the entire Western Hemisphere, (See, The Western vs. the Real Narrative on Haiti.) With the earthquake, the militarization of aid, the drilling for oil, mining for uranium, gold, copper, iridium, marble, etc., the exclusion and exploitation on top of horrific physical and psychic pain shall be broader and more massive unless decent people, of all the races, lift up their blinders and stop denying the historical and current reality in Haiti. Together we must keep the poor alive with dignity and help heal both the oppressor and the oppressed. Together, we must raise money to meet these newly arriving and embolden predators who are FEEDING off this earthquake tragedy - all of them.

Please support this work. Donate to HLLN' Circulate these posts. Support Haitian-led,s earthquake relief fund. Haiti-capacity building relief efforts. We can be the change we're looking for on this planet. Yes, we can! Thank you very much.

terrorises them, their descendants or their friends..."
-- Jacques Depelchin (Africa: In Solidarity with Site Soley)

bottom. It is the accumulated indignation against organized wrong, organized crime, organized injustice which drives the political offender to his act." --Emma Goldman


- "If you have come here to help me then you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine then let us work together." -- Lila Watson
