"Haiti crisis, poverty, deaths and foreign-sponsored regime change/coup d'etat is an ATM for the world's most educated and powerful "leaders."

The non-colonial narrative on Haiti is that the World Bank through Bill Clinton at the UN presides over more than $2.3 billion dollars raised supposedly for earthquake relief that mostly returns back to the "donor." This fund is called, by Washington insiders, the "Bill and Hillary" fund. Foreign aid is corporate welfare for the well-connected Washington insider and tied-aid for Haiti. The billions of dollars collected by private charities and donor countries do not ever reach the Haitian people. Only 1cent of every dollar gets to Haiti. Once the cameras are gone the trickle down is used mainly by the light-skin mercenary Haiti subcontractor families to the US-Euro oligarchs, or for giving a local "Haiti face" to the pillage. Consider reading HLLN's "Corruption Uninterrupted in Haiti" -- http://bit.ly/HbrRW3; "Haiti: A time bomb which must be defused immediately " http://bit.ly/GTBHao or "Bill Clinton admits UN brought cholera, Haiti raped again" at http://bit.ly/yxXZpt .

Those who would like to support a Haiti-led, Haiti-capacity building work that has NO involvement with the UN or its Paul Farmer Deputy Envoy, consider supporting Zili Dlo: Clean Water for Everyone in Haiti project and our cholera case against the UN for justice.

The Ezili Dantà ² comment not posted by NYT is this:

Comment #5

"Haiti is a farming nation on a tiny Island -- 70 to 80% of Haitians are small farmers and entrepreneurs -- who could live in peace and prosperity if Haiti was allowed to use the assets of its own nation for the public health and nation building of its own people. Not to feed US-Euro oligarchs' market and narcissistic needs, or Wal-Mart, JC Penny profit margins or the arrogance, security paranoia of the racist and fearful interested in PROFIT at all cost.

HELP for Haiti would be authentic IF the bankers would help to maximize the use of the nearly $2.5billion per year of direct aid the Haitian Diaspora sends to Haiti. If the politicos, world bankers, Haiti Oligarchy and Western Union financing houses would stop taping into it. Allow a Haiti development bank from these remittances the collateral credit from these yearly remittances -- perhaps $1billion dollars for Haitians to build water and sanitation infrastructure, rebuild roads and agricultural self-sufficiency. That would take out the need for MOST of Paul Farmers' pharmaceuticals and supplements and oral vaccines being washed down with foul or foreign-bought purification tablets, chlorinated water to be swallowed on empty Haitian stomachs.

Next, change the US predatory trade policies, stop dumping Clinton's Arkansas rice, Monsanto hybrid seeds and don't block the Haiti Diaspora from investing in the Haiti farmers -providing help with modern tractors and equipment to produce and regain Haiti's food sovereignty."

******************************

"Aid from the U.S. to Haiti in particular, and the Third World in general, is a way of laundering government paybacks to industry, with USAID usually serving as the intermediary. The aid is not intended to help the recipient but to assist U.S. companies that cannot sell their goods." - Dady Chery (Poison Seeds, Herbicides, Pushed Again on Haitian Farmers in Spring 2012.)

******************************

How the shock of Martelly ascending to the National Palace, the 2010 earthquake, UN cholera and US regime change 2004 is being used to recolonize and privatize Haiti though death and dependency programs of the World Bankers, UN/US military, 42,000 NGOs
