Haiti: Jan 1, 2012 Another Independence Day Under Occupation
(3 comments) Jan 1, 2012 marks 208 years since Haiti abolished European enslavement, the Triangular Trade, forced assimilation/ethnic cleansing, direct colonialism & became an independent Black nation. Haitians have been stigmatized, forced to pay with their lives and freedom for that achievement ever since. How should Haitians mark this anniversary? Who should we confer with about our awesome burden, our plight, long struggle?

Paul Farmer Relieves Himself On Haiti's Dying Cholera Victims
(1 comments) Paul Farmer deflects UN responsibility for contaminating Haiti's water with cholera. Insist cholera vaccines purchases is answer to "eradicating" cholera in Haiti. Farmer, a total sellout continues to protect interests of the financial elite while posing as ultimate humanitarian. Tracy Kidder writes his press and PR in books. This essays points out vaccines are not Haiti's top health priority. Clean water and sanitation is

Bill Clinton has more power in Haiti than Haiti's president: The holocaust continues
(3 comments) Bill Clinton has more power in Haiti than Haiti's president: The holocaust continues...Too many have jobs, egos, power and prestige invested in the profit-over-people system to see that the current saviors of Haiti extend mostly the same narcissistic, cultural blindness and denials as the initial "missionaries/humanitarians" brought to Haiti in 1492.

UN, Uruguay, and the Literal and Systemic Rape of Haiti
(2 comments) The literal and systemic rape of Haiti. Deportation and MINUSTAH withdrawal is NOT enough. Innocent Haitians have a human right to a court hearing, trial & reparations for these gross and depraved UN injustices. UN cannot be above the law. The UN was not conceived & established as a colonizing power or a proxy for enslavers with blanket immunity & impunity for rape, spread of contaminable diseases and crimes against humanity..

Haiti: Time to remember Kandyo, the Malfini and Mongoose
(2 comments) US/UN False Benevolence in Haiti.Farmer was running for the Executive Director position at USAID that Rajiv Shah now holds. As the head of USAID, Shah, is being blasted about USAID 's failures. If Shah is a failure in Haiti, so is Farmer as Deputy UN Envoy - the consolation prize given by the Clinton/Obama Administration to Farmer when his nomination to head USAID did not fly.

UN Responsibility to Haiti for Importing Cholera
(2 comments) UN tear-gassed & shot dead Haitians accusing UN of bringing cholera killing people. Corporate media reported UN's side of story, called Haiti grievers "insurgents" demonstrating against UN to destabilize Haiti for political reasons. When world experts said cholera strain was South Asian, not Haitian, UN investigated itself & admit it brought cholera to vulnerable Haiti, but is not responsible for lives lost. Haitians disagree.

Haiti beating back the elite's rabid rage: Against all odds Aristide returns
(1 comments) Despite Barack Obama & UN Ban-Ki Moon's pressures against return of president Aristide, South Africa provided a plane & flew Haiti's first democratically elected president back to Haiti to the exuberant welcome of the poor majority.

Obama's change in Haiti: the Return of Dictator, Jean Claude Duvalier
(3 comments) Air France returned bloody dictator, Jean Claude Duvalier to Haiti.If Air-France wanted to bring in Osama bin Laden into Haiti, how could Haitians stop it? Still, we-Haitians will be blamed, as usual, for all the outrageous acts the wealthy powers-that-be do in Haiti. The "Friends of Haiti" continue with their macabre plan to further destabilize and exacerbate Haiti's already agonizing sufferings.

Haiti: Breaking the news lockdown - Direct testimonies from the streets
(1 comments) It pains me to give voice to what I'm hearing - The alternative if the fraudulent elections in Haiti are not annulled. Revolution has been reduced to "anything is better than Preval." The US and its international partners pay for the conflict and now they are on their way to "restore order" as Haitians continue to die.

Haiti Elections-HLLN to Edmond Mulet on behalf of people of Haiti: Goodbye UN!
(2 comments) The morning after the sham elections, even before the vote counting for these foreign-imposed, non-inclusive elections had begun, AlJazeera reports , the UN went to two of the more recognized presidential candidates and told each, they were in the lead. Both Mirland Manigat and Michel Martelly stopped calling for the annulment of the UN-supported elections after that powerful, if blatantly contemptible foreign intervention.

Haiti elections neither free nor fair
(2 comments) Obama denounced the recent "elections" in Burma as "neither free nor fair." The November 28 sham elections are neither free nor fair, denies Haitians the right to self-determination, will not provide legitimate leaders respected by the people of Haiti and the insidious international community is only adding to its human right failures, indecencies and injustices in Haiti.

Avatar Haiti: November 18, 2010 Vertieres Rememberances and Interview with Ezili Dantò
(1 comments) Stop the media lies and UN spin that the protests in Haiti are "political." The facts support the Haitian accusations that the cholera is imported and not from Haiti. The CDC has confirmed this. The island people have a long memory of US/Euro abuses at the hands of the "more civilized." Haitians are the Tainos, the Comanches, the Cherokees and Cholera is small pox in a blanket. The accused UN cannot investigate itself.

Haiti's case against the UN for possibly importing cholera epidemic
(3 comments) The UN investigating the UN to see if the UN brought cholera to Haiti is not very assuring to Haitians being helped to death by the various "humanitarian aid" units in Haiti since the democratically elected president was deported back to Africa by Bush the son. There ought to be an independent investigation on behalf of the people of Haiti by epidemiologist entities with no vested interests in the current international crimes.

Is Haiti's deadly cholera outbreak an imported disease?
(1 comments) Cholera has never before been found in Haiti & was most likely imported. Contrary to news reports, no evidence Artibonite River is source of the disease. Even Red Cross routinely delivers contaminated water to the camp refugees. No one knows for sure yet how cholera got to Haiti. But it's certain donation monies are collecting interests for thousands of NGOs instead of providing permanent clean drinking water to save lives.

Haiti: I Can't Stand the Rain
(4 comments) It's been raining for days and days with no significant let-up. The rain drops feel like tears. The sobbing of 300,000 Haitians gone in 33 seconds on January 12, 2010. A storm hit Haiti last week. At least 6 earthquake survivors living in the streets were killed. It destroyed about 8,000 tents. They same one US Senator is holding up reconstruction relief to Haiti. The lies. I can't stand the rain. So much lost. Needless lost.

Sean Penn and Wyclef Jean: Hollywood, Hip Hop and Haiti
(3 comments) Wyclef Jean is running for President of Haiti. Sean Penn criticizes Wyclef because he saw him with a large entourage in Haiti & fears Wyclef's support for corporate interests, notably assembly plant owners who pay sweatshop wages. Penn's entourage in Haiti is US/UN military & their role IS to protect US corporate interests. Penn is patronizing but if criticizing Wyclef for this, he must also the Clintons, Obama, UN,US military

Fake Website says France will pay Haiti back Independence Debt it extorted at gun-point
(1 comments) Clinton, Bush & now France. How lucky can Haiti be? Clinton apologized, Bush co-chairs earthquake relief & France, well France will - cough, cough- pay Haiti the Independence Debt back! It this wasn't a hoax, it would be good news. An ADMISSION France is in error, owes Haiti a debt of $21billion as of 2004. Still, a big "Thank You!" goes to Pres. Aristide, only Haiti Pres. to ask France for the Independence Debt back.

Haiti: Vodun Jazzoetry-Ezili Danto's Red, Black & Moonlight (Videos)
(1 comments) The RBM series written & performed by Ezili Dantò document the often tragic journey of Haitians in the US and abroad for human justice, the monologues cover Vodun cosmology, Haitian history, culture and US humanitarian imperialism in Haiti.

Haiti's Voiceless Speaks to New York Times: Where's the call for investigation into UN Slaughters in Haiti?
(2 comments) The Times is calling for investigation of the slaughters at Les Cayes prison. That's all well & good. But where was the Times' coverage & call for investigation when the UN was slaughtering unarmed civilians in Haiti from 2004 to the present? For the July 6, 2005 massacre by UN? New York Times is helping better facilitate the old failed standard of giving aid monies directly to UN/USAID/NGOs but never directly to Haiti's gov.

Haiti: The Poverty Pimps' Masturbating on Black Pain - Their silent violence and corruption
(2 comments) Monsanto joins the poverty pimps in Haiti. Their silent violence & corruption in Haiti, Africa, Asia are structural, not perpetrated just by large NGOS, charity organizations, the corportocracy and imperialist powers that backs them up. No. It's as structural as white privilege. The majority of humanity continues to be enslaved by a dominant system that thrives on poverty. No paradigm change may come about if this is ignored.

Vision of Plantation Haiti - A White Pearl, Again!
(1 comments) Haiti for sale - The vision is for Haiti to end up a colonial enterprise, like the Dominican Republic and the rest of the Caribbean islands where mostly Eurocentric-black overseers manage their Black and brown populations for the benefit of the white superpower nations. And where the Island peoples are set off as props in their own homeland - maids, butlers, prostitutes, gardeners, entertainers and housekeepers...

The Plantation called Haiti: Feudal Pillage Masking as Humanitarian Aid
(1 comments) While the champaign bottles were popping at the UN for the pledging session's success - $5billion, 10 billion pledged for the future. Whose future? ...The West dreams of riding the world economic recession and political dangers for themselves on the backs of Haiti's dead to the tune of the $5.3, $10 billion do-gooder image they've siphoned off for themselves. Meanwhile, the subjects of their pledges suffer and die in droves.

Sarkozy's visit to Haiti, The Independence Debt and Haiti's Sovereignty
(2 comments) Sarkozy's visit to Haiti: A Buzzard Looking For a Free Meal? But Haitians claim Haiti's sovereignty, demand France pay back $22 billion Independence Debt.

Haiti has its own rebuilding plans: The US/UN Must Stop blocking Haitian Relief
US must STOP blocking Haitian relief : 80% of Haiti's population live OUTSIDE of Port-au-Prince: Haiti is not the Republic of Port-au-Prince where the internationals congregate. Haiti already has its own REBUILDING plans. If Obama could reach across party lines to invite Clinton and Bush to work for Haiti during this crisis, then why can't Preval do the same by inviting Aristide to return?

Ratcheting up the genocide in Haiti: Blocking Aid Delivery
(1 comments) Ratcheting up the genocide in Haiti by blocking aid delivery.

Message to Paul Farmer, Senate Foreign Relations Committee, James Dobbins & Ronny Francois: Actions we are mobilizing for the world at Ezili's HLLN.

Oil in Haiti, reasons for the US occupation, Part 2
(1 comments) An oil company man comes forward in Businessweek to say, suddenly and seemingly unprompted that the Haiti earthquake "may have left clues to Haiti's petroleum reservoirs." HLLN has been documenting for years the reason behind the removal of Pres. Aristide was fear he would nationalize Haiti oil, gas, iridium, gold, uranium, copper, diamond and other resources to elevate the people's living standards.

Did mining and oil drilling trigger the Haiti earthquake?
(7 comments) In the six years since Bush's Haiti Regime change, big business has been mining Haiti's mountains & oil and gas drilling in coastal capital area, at La Gonave & around Gulf of La Gonave behind UN/US "helping Haiti" pretext. Could mining of Haiti's mountains & drilling have triggered Haiti earthquake? Essay examines this. Outlines Haiti's resources being plundered.

Go home US military: Haiti doesn't need anymore pain!
(3 comments) The most terrible earthquake rocked Haiti. Haitians need humanitarian help, emergency rescue. But US sent a bipartisan military invasion. It's been five days since the earthquake, victims still await help. The time for rescue is over. The survivors need relief from suffering: water, food, medicine, medical treatment and Haiti needs to rebuilding. Pentagon guns don't heal or rebuild. Go home, Haiti doesn't need more pain.

The Avatar Movie from a Black perspective
(18 comments) Avatar's 3-D IMAX is stunning & combined with the lush green scenery, message we need to protect our environment, respect other people's cultures & way of life, makes Avatar worth the time. But the white savior means the movie used to allow the ecologically balanced Na'vi's to win against the profit-driven military-industrial complex has a racist subtext, stopped my "good times" at the movies. I explain the parallels I saw.

Obama's Empty Promises - Change Did not Come
(2 comments) Obama's foreign policy continued the failed George W. Bush policies. During his campaign Obama promised change from the 8-years of failed Bush policies, but he's surrendered to the corporate interests and the Haitian Oligarchy in Haiti, leaving the majority poor out in the cold. Banned from elections the US is financing at the tune of $18 million dollars, subject to unfair wages & UN occupation. No TPS granted to Haitians.

The Slavery in Haiti the Media Won't Expose
Haiti child servant issue cannot be equated to slavery of TransAtlantic slave trade. To do so is to trivialize the 400years of Euro/US sponsored African holocaust. But popular media routinely publishes articles pontificating on how poverty has forced Haitian children into slavery as unpaid household servants. Conveniently ignoring organized violence of US false foreign aid, false charity that's root cause of Haiti's poverty.

Haiti's largest political party banned from election process
Haiti's largest political party banned from election process financed by the United States and the International Community. Such elections cannot be genuine, fair, free, democratic and inclusive elections but flagrant and malicious human rights violations.

The Collar of Impunity - Sexual abuse of Haiti children by Priests and Charity Workers
(1 comments) Accused pedophiles Perlitz & Duarte remain in jail but Haiti children victimized need counseling and the basics in life support, protection and nurturing. Please help Ezili's HLLN raise funds to provide this help. In 60years Catholic priests systematically raped 36,000 Irish children. If this level of sexual abuse is possible in Ireland, imagine what perverted Catholic priests have been doing in Haiti and Africa for centuries!

Letter to UN for release of investigative reports on UN rape of Haiti women, children by those pledged to protect them
The newly release UN data on abuse falls short, is reprehensible. UN investigation into the 114 Sri Lankan soldiers accused of sexually abusing minors and running a brothel in Haiti must be made public to the Haitian people and the victims offered assistance, especially minors whose childhood innocence cannot be returned. UN peacekeepers accused of rape and sexual abuse ought not be protected through organized UN secrecy.

Perlitz remains behind bars - HLLN says "No More Secrecy"
(1 comments) HLLN led awareness-raising campaign, warning community accused pedophile, Douglas Perlitz, could be released on bond. Perlitz withdrew his bond request for now. A victory for all children. Perlitz ran a residence for US "aid" workers in Haiti as well as the school for boys. Our investigation show an entwined international network in Haiti and a systematic cover up, it seems, by the authorities to keep this matter under wraps.

Healthcare reform also requires food system reform
(3 comments) There is a connection between farm subsidies, health, and food security -- not just in the US, but also overseas. In our interconnected world, US subsidies to farmers for growing organic foods, fruits and vegetables would reduce health care spending, benefit the environment, and improve people's health, while also benefiting the long term food security interests of both the US and storm-ravaged Haiti.

Genocide in Haiti: Fulfilling Leclerc's imperative
(1 comments) Sonthonax, the Commissioner from France back during revolutionary days landed in Haiti not to end slavery but to give rights to Mulatto oligarchs and maintain the slavery of the African masses. The African masses overcame Sonthonax, won their freedom in combat, eradicating physical slavery. The UN and Bill "Sonthonax" Clinton are helping to fulfill Leclerc's imperative through debt, privatization, free trade and wage slavery.

What Special UN Envoy Bill Clinton may do to help Haiti
(9 comments) The article sets forth what Special Envoy Bill Clinton may do to really help Haiti, not just the economic elite. It urges release of the political prisoners, better US partnership, end of the UN occupation, and the slavery of the majority of Haitians to the tiny Haitian Oligarchy. Enumerating their corruption. And makes the point that is this is the slavery in Haiti the mainstream press will never cover.

Haiti: Ezili's HLLN blasts Miami Herald's coverage of Jean Juste Memorial
HLLN blasts Miami Herald's coverage of Jean Juste's memorial. HLLN's reports on the Wake and Memorial of Father Gerard Jean Juste in Miami Florida and on the last words of Father Jean Juste before he died: "Gade Sa Neg D'Ayiti Fè Mwen! - Look at what Haiti (tyrants) did to me!" The photogallery of the memorial gives evidence of the counter-colonial narrative, the popular movement never duly reported by the corporate press.
