Today, we could have gotten a solid beginning for a provisional government and be headed towards a new CEP to verify the people's true choices for governance of Haiti. But, a few hours before the end of Martelly's term, the front row folks to all Haiti affairs intervened to made sure the embarrassing Martelly left Haiti with a Parliament voted in through the August 9 and Oct 25th frauds. They do this just because absolute power corrupts, they're racist tyrants and enjoy the Martelly/Clinton/Obama NIGHTMARE unleashed upon defenseless Haiti.

The remains of Martelly's criminal administration and the contested Parliament are the Haiti entities the OAS/US now charges with the task to safely choose the next Haiti provisional government. They ignored the indigenous Haitian solution from the Church mediators and the G8 coalition, to seat illegitimately elected Haiti politicians, who will owe them their position and do what the vile internationals with visa, money and heavy firepower, say.

No Dictatorship through US-EU-sponsored Fake Elections
February 7, 2016 marks our 30th year battling the return of U.S.-sponsored dictatorship to Haiti. Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, our human rights icon, disappeared in U.S.-UN occupied Haiti in 2007. Lovinsky, like millions of Haitians before him fought Empire, their ruling elites and military forces. He created Fondasyon 30 Septanm to represent the coup d'etat victims of Bush Sr regime change in 1991 and Bush Jr's 2004 bicentennial regime change in Haiti that led to this Martelly neoDuvalierist presidency. On February 7, 2016, revolutionary Haiti honored the victims of both the Duvalier and Martelly US-supported dictatorships by coldly stopping a replica of Martelly from being installed in fake elections. We cancelled the annual carnival set to start and stopped the grotesque King of Carnival's repressive rule, his gross indecency. We refused to obey!

THE CORRUPT INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY AND PARTISAN CORPORATE MEDIA

The media coverage are so off-base. Their teary, fluffy Martelly send-offs underplays what a relief today is for Haiti's democratic forces.

The Haitian public works to stop corruption and institutionalize the rule of law. Suffered and died for five years under Martelly to expose it. But before he left, the US/OAS had their puppets install a corrupt Parliament. The corrupted is to name a new, non-corrupt interim President and Prime Minister and to conduct real, non-corrupt elections by April 24, 2016. The colonial mind make no sense. It doesn't have to make sense. Might makes right.

Centuries after centuries, Haiti's people are forced to face these colonial tortures, trials and tribulations. It's tyrannical, racist, revolting despotism.

These crimes against the people of Haiti by the powerful white superpowers are aided and abetted by the corporate media. The Associated Press, Reuters, Miami Herald and Washington Post write decontextualized articles that don't emphasize the massive fraud in the 2015 elections but pushes fear of Haiti violence and their narcissistic delusions about the international community's neutrality and benevolence. You'll notice the corporate media ignores the details and sequences of events as you're learning here.

It was Haitians who first proposed a provisional government long ago and the international community who refused to let go of the agencies of Michel Martelly and Pierre Louis Opont in Haiti. This emboldened Martelly and his old neoDuvalierist army paramilitaries, fostered preventable violence that deepened the national crisis. The international community's intransigence can't be discounted, conflated or marginalized to that of an innocent bystander, or the "foreign powers who monitor Haiti" and are mere third party spectator.

But their articles portray the international community not as meddlers and front row seat players who rigged the game and strategically created and moved their local Haiti pawns. No. You're left with the notion the international community are mere good faith neighbors who simply are "losing patience with Haiti as it struggled to reach an agreement." Or, the "Organization of American States special mission was hopeful that an agreement would be reached...Haiti Special Coordinator Kenneth Merten...quietly slipped into Port-au-Prince this week to see how negotiations were progressing."

The glaring truth is the international community - OAS, Kenneth Merten, the UN with Sandra Honore, US Haiti Ambassador Peter Mulrean- are the first string players in Haiti's electoral fraud 2015, just as they were in 2010. They purposely polluted the local Haiti solutions for a clean and respected transitional government. Disrespected the people's wishes. These mindless functionaries of empire are a global terror.

THE GAMES THE IMPERIALIST PLAY

Their top media outlets make no mention of the partial illegitimacy of the Parliament signing the February 6, 2016 Accord. Reuters doesn't bother to hide its shocking partisanship. Its Haiti reporter is Joseph Guyler Delva, Martelly's former communication secretary and chief propagandist.

The embedded media make no mention of the historically corrupting role of the US-run OAS in Haiti; of the parasitic UN who train the violent BOID and CIMO police and give them firepower cover; of how the U.S. ambassador, Peter "Pinnochio" Mulrean, prolonged the crisis by declaring he saw "no evidence of massive electoral fraud." Or, how Kenneth Merten and CORE GROUP pressures on the G8 anti-government coalition, pushed to divide the national unity against their corrupt puppet president. You'll never learn from them about the enormous US presence in Haiti. The Haiti oil and iridium riches that the Unites States won't trade fairly for. Or, that the United States has the largest Embassy compound in the Western Hemisphere and its fourth largest Embassy in the world in tiny Haiti. No. They'll condescendingly tell you, ad nauseam, Haiti is violent and can't rule itself without, this time, OAS "observers" and Kenneth Merten coordination.
