One Haiti Deputy in the Martelly party found the corruption so bad, he distanced himself, publicly witnessing to the corruption on Haiti radio. He said that a UN official worked the logistics for the electoral fraud using UN trucks and logos. Even Red Cross vehicles were reportedly used to transport fake ballots and stuff votes on October 25th. No mention is made of the many cogent G8 proposals and press releases or the local Haiti Church-Civic-Political-Economic coalition that had both come up with local consensus to assure stability after the disgraceful Martelly left office.

Their focus is on the "divided," "stubborn" and "violent" Haitians and how a power vacuum has been avoided due to a "negotiated" accord, the AP carefully reported the OAS was "observing negotiations to resolve a standoff." Yet, no stakeholder of consequence met with the OAS in Haiti because of Haiti unity and integrity. Only the stooges and the mostly pro-government forces whose authority the people rejected.

The media makes up the picture frame and fills it in as the colonial powers, their local stooges and the OAS dictated. Sprinkling in, here and there that the "opposition was outside protesting." But if you know what's up and the reality of their one-sided accord, you can catch them red handed, like with this revealing AP sentence:

"Some opposition figures have repeatedly said Martelly could not be part of the process, but Sanders (Chief of the OAS Mission), who stressed he was a witness and not a participant in the talks, said the deal was reached by elected officials who have the authority to do so."

Emphasis added to show you their arrogance. The people say no, the Martelly regime are not duly elected officials. That's the whole five year crisis, no? And some no longer even have last January's tenuous political consensus. Are these disgraceful Internationals also retarded, on drugs, obtuse or what? (See, photo album at Haiti Case Against Bill & Hillary Clinton/Unelected Michel Martelly and No More Electoral Coups: OAS is Not Welcome in Haiti.)

If the pro-democratic groups say the Martelly-Paul regime can't be part of the solution. That's not the full story. We also say the OAS is part of the problem and cannot be part of the solution. The OAS and Hillary Clinton, cooked the votes in 2010 to put Michel Martelly in office. Did The Associated Press this forget salient point when it proudly announced its "exclusive interview with special OAS mission leader Ronald Sanders" about the one-sided Haiti "Deal Reached on Provisional Haiti Government?"

Haiti deserves an end to the US occupation behind the UN military front, fake elections and fake NGO aid. Haiti deserves to be heard on how it wishes to conduct fair, inclusive and democratic elections for the Presidency and the Parliament. It's time to end the colonially-supported government repression.
"Aprà ¨ 7 Fevriye, fà ²k lari a okipe pou kà ²manse -DEMARTELIZE peyi a. Fà ²k nou retire menm sant DELENKAN saa nan trou nen ni Ayisyen an Ayiti, ni Ayisyen nan Dyaspora a. Kesyon $1 dola 50 lan ak 10 santim sou chak minit transfà ¨ a pral resi regle. Iminite delenkan an pral leve. Kidonk, nou pral pase alatak pou audit e verifye và ²l yo. Lari a pral fenk kare plen pou revandike DEMARTELIZASYON an." --- Norluck Dorange, Haiti political activist.
At the Ã?zili Network/Free Haiti we've been exposing US-EU colonialism, racism and the media's colonial narrative on Haiti for a long while. The people of Haiti stopped the fake elections, forced Martelly to leave in disgrace without installing a replica of himself. We celebrate this achievement. We won't let the international tyrants take this new beginning of a new day from our people. Nou pap lave men nou pou'n kite yo siye l a tà ¨ - We didn't wash our hand of the corrupt Martelly regime to have the Internationals force it back into the mud. Desalin taught us how to say "no." Haiti will be DEMARTELIZED.

When we're done, the effects will reverberates like the 1804 Haiti revolution. Other world citizens will be so inspired to fight for good elections, economic rights and participatory governance in their own home that their momentum will converge with ours to pull these rabid elites home to face justice and to leave the people of Haiti in peace.
