The US Embassy citing "the will of the people" in this statement when that embassy helped finance an election it KNEW would be rigged in favor of Preval's candidate, illustrates their duplicity, dishonesty, and rank hypocrisy. It's an insult to our intelligence.

Wikileaks blew the whistle on president Renee Preval and the 2010 Haiti elections. The partisan CEP has no credibility, nor the US Embassy or that lying Mule(t). They've proven their only concern is to undermine the will of the people.

By pushing these rigged elections down Haiti's throats in the name of bringing stability, the international community basically is saying "beggars can't be choosers."

How can the US Embassy have any legitimacy to say their policies are about the will of the people, the beggars whose national election these foreigners say they paid for and so, for pragmatic purposes, won't annul no matter that most of the candidates in said very election and most of Haiti is protesting, asking for an annulment? Who determines the will of the people, if not the people? Wikileaks cut the US Embassy's hypocrisy asunder.

The US Embassy in Haiti is only comprehensive to Haitians as a long-standing obstacle blocking the will of Haiti's people. All
else is incomprehensible.

Elections without an electorate are a sham and therefore without meaning. Haitians are not props to be moved around at the will of the international community. Haiti's masses did not ask the foreigners to spend money on this charade. Nor will Haiti accept from foreigners that this circus they wish to push down our throats is "for our own good" and stability.

Haitians know when their will is being circumvented and the foreigners are destabilizing Haiti with these elections, not encouraging stability. Perhaps that's because the UN troops need instability to justify why its in Haiti and distract the world from the fact that, in its 6-year tenure in Haiti, it has not laid one inch of pipe for clean drinking water, has made over $3billion dollars and fed Haitians 6-years of its raw feces to the point of importing cholera to Haiti.

Dying and being disenfranchised is not the will of the people of Haiti.

Imported UN Cholera

Although the often-cited figures of dead cholera victims is just over 2,100 with over 93,000 infected. Those numbers are a gross underestimation. Besides making over $860million this year in Haiti, the UN even got extra money to do so, and has ordered 200,000 body bags for the cholera victims it is anticipating!

These are human beings, flesh and blood. My son, daughter, mother, sister, aunt. Haitians want justice, restitution and liability apportioned, as well as for the over $1.4 billion in the hands of the private charity organizations to provide clean drinking water, or at least if they won't, then to leave Haiti and stop blocking the Haiti Diaspora from organizing to get water treatment centers put in Haiti.

But the United Nations is avoiding responsibility in Haiti - it has been there almost 7-years and not one inch of pipe has been laid for clean drinking water. Now Haitians are dying from its imported disease. 515 years ago the Tainos on Ayiti died from the discoverers' syphilis and smallpox. Today the indigenous African of Haiti are dying from imported cholera from the "peacekeepers" who know what's good for us.

It's a false argument that the international community can't walk (help treat the cholera victims) and chew gun at the same time (establish the responsibility of the UN and others for bringing a deadly disease to Haiti) . That's just a continuation of the lack of value these foreigners and their supporters place on Haitian life. We see this especially in these elections without an electorate they're pushing down Haiti's throats, for Haiti's own good. Just as Haitian dying of cholera deserve justice and restitution, similarly these foreigners, occupying Haiti and reigning over genocide, have made sham elections (disenfranchisement) a Haiti priority before the health of Haiti's people, and the will of the people.

The United States, together with Haiti's so-called international community partners, cannot be trusted "to support efforts to thoroughly review irregularities in support of electoral results that are consistent with the will of the Haitian people expressed in their votes."

Moreover, the US Embassy has absolutely no leg to stand on to opine on "Haiti's transition to democracy over the past 24 years" when it has orchestrated both the 1991 and 2004 coup d'etats against Haiti's democratically elected president, thus thoroughly disenfranchising 10 million Blacks and undermined the "will of the people."

President Obama has simply continue the trajectory by appointing George W. Bush and UN occupation force envoy, Bill Clinton, to the Haiti earthquake relief fund.

How can the US Embassy or the UN speak about upholding the "will of the people" to determine their destiny through their vote when they've put Haiti under legal protectorate with the non-elected, non-Haitian and anti-democratic Interim Haiti Reconstruction Commission (IHRC)?
