If Ezili HLLN could reach CNN's audience on the 4th of July by Ezili Danto
"Clinton was wrong. Obama took that 3:00am call alright, but then he stayed on the phone for four years."On this July 4th, if HLLN could reach CNN's audience, I'd explain how slavery continues for most of the global south through unfettered capitalism's neoliberal globalization, humanitarian aid and wars to bring democracy and "help."
I'd outline how the current US occupation under cover of UN mercenary guns brought deregulation/privatization guru, Bill Clinton,
into Haiti as humanitarian to privatize (open) Haiti for Newmont gold
mining, Monsanto death seeds, NGO false charity, big oil, big
agribusiness and big pharma. Show how Bill Clinton and US policymakers,
from the Left and Right duopoly, helped destroy Haiti food sovereignty,
fledgling democracy, already inadequate state-owned Haiti enterprises
with Bill Clinton privatization, then brought in their NGO charitable
industry to provide more inadequate public service to Haitians as the
solution. I'd detail how the two Clinton administrations, along with the
two Bush administrations, set the stage, forced privatization
conditions onto Haiti and then Bill Clinton used Aristide's return in
1994 to more earnestly privatize as well as re-image the old
Duvalierists as civil society. They even tried re-imaging bloody Toto
Constant-FRAPH as civil society.
I'd document how the former enslaving white settler nation's
systematically destroyed Haiti's fledgling participatory democracy only
to bring in US occupation behind UN guns and de-legitimized
US-money-runned election/auctions as the solution. (See "More background, tweets and facebook posts" below ; Royalty
rate (2.5%) on Haiti gold - worth an estimated $20bn - negotiated by
US-selected Haiti president is the lowest in hemisphere ; The real pirates of the Caribbean: Haiti oil is so large that it's as an Olympic pool while Venezuela oil is but a glass of water and We've become what we hate: Why I left America.)
I'd explain that the media is owned and dominated by the ruling elite bringing back
feudalism and selling exclusive clientele-patronage as the height of
worldwide democracy and human development. That's why the majority of
the world's citizens are not clued in, simply don't know that the
reasons for the current US occupation of Haiti behind
the cover of UN
mercenary guns are Haiti's riches. It's vast oil reserves, over 20 billion in mineral wealth, its important territorial waters, deep water ports, lands
-strategic resource and geographic location (to counter
Cuba/ Venezuela), along with the (over $6 billion) use of Haiti misery and
poverty to
enrich and bolster the global corporatocracy, NGOs and the
white-supremacist narrative.
"O! had I the ability, and could reach the nation's ear, I would, to-day, pour out a fiery stream of biting ridicule, blasting reproach, withering sarcasm, and stern rebuke. For it is not light that is needed, but fire; it is not the gentle shower, but thunder. We need the storm, the whirlwind, and the earthquake. The feeling of the nation must be quickened; the conscience of the nation must be roused; the propriety of the nation must be startled; the hypocrisy of the nation must be exposed; and its crimes against God and man must be proclaimed and denounced..."
To the US "free trade" policymakers and neoliberalism sustainers, to Clinton/Obama/Bush/Paul Farmer/UN and their NGOs in Haiti and elsewhere masturbating on their imposed system's pain placed on the poor and Black in their societies and abroad, we would say, as Frederick Douglass said centuries ago of the same sort of wretched, self-serving mindsets:
I write this note in memory of Haiti's hero of the 21st century, Emmanuel Dred Wilme assassinated by 1,440 UN guns on July 6, 2005 and for Haiti's human rights icon, Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, disappeared in UN occupied Haiti, on August 12, 2008. I write this note for all the true hearts and worldwide dissenting voices to neoliberal globalization (aka global slavery) who've paid and are paying the price for independence, liberty, economic and social justice for all on this planet.

"I believe that in Haiti we see capitalism/imperialism in all its nakedness. It is the extreme of ugliness, filth, and disease." --Dady Chery
"Haiti death and poverty is too lucrative for the Clinton corporatocracy
vampires to give up without a revolutionary, impossible-to-ignore-world-demand" --Ezili Danto
Haiti: Until she spoke, "no Christian nation had abolished Negro slavery...Until she spoke, the slave ship, followed by hungry sharks, greedy to devour the dead and dying slaves flung overboard to feed them, ploughed in peace the South Atlantic, painting the sea with the Negro's blood. Until she spoke, the slave trade was sanctioned by all the Christian nations of the world, and our land of liberty and light included." --Frederick Douglass
"End the US occupation of Haiti behind UN guns, NOW!
The Haitian parliament must void the illegal status of force (SOFA) agreement immediately. The SOFA agreement allowing UN/MINUSTAH into Haiti was signed by defacto Gerald Latortue in 2004, a career UN-employee, binding a Haitian nation that did not elect him." --Ezili Danto
