The Common Buzzard in flight**************************************************
"The bad omen continues for Haiti with the first ever visit to Haiti, on February 17, 2010, by a French President. France's Nicholas Sarkozy's arrived today in Westernquake shattered Haiti and was greeted by puppet Haitian President Rene Preval as a brass band played the Marseillaise! He toured a French field hospital, had a news conference on the grounds of the collapsed Haiti National Palace, and surveyed the millions of suffering descendants of the African warriors who defeated his nation in combat through the door of a helicopter, like a flying buzzard circling the air, looking for a free meal... "QUESTION to HLLN: on Sarkozy's visit today, February 17, 2010 "What kind of response if any should be made by all of us who wish to see the repayment of the money owed by France to Haiti and other issues that are offending the rights and freedoms of the people of Haiti, and most importantly the state of the relief efforts?"

There is a very recent report that the Canadian government is to build a new office for the Haitian government from which there can be a central and coordinated relief effort in response to the disaster and secondly that Sarkozy is due to visit Haiti any day now. What kind of response if any should be made by all of us who wish to see the repayment of the money owed by France to Haiti and other issues that are offending the rights and freedoms of the people of Haiti, and most importantly the state of the relief efforts?

- QUESTION: 1) on Sarkozy's visit to Haiti, the first ever visit to Haiti by a French president and the Independence Debt
In December, 2009, I wrote in "The Slavery in Haiti the Media Won't Expose," that:
President Jean Bertrand Aristide, the Constitutionally and duly elected Haitian president, was the first President in Haitian history to, as a matter of honor and justice, demand that France repay the $22 billion Independence Debt it extorted, at gunpoint, from defenseless Haiti with the approval and complicity of the other Euro/American settlers and countries."Haiti is destroyed by its ceaseless independence debt now being extorted by the powerful through neo-liberal economic policies; ravaged by the eleven to thirteen mercenary families - the US/Euro subcontractors in Haiti - who, with the complicity of the US/Euros and their coup d'etats exclude the majority, own most of the country's wealth while the majority starve and live in utter misery and poverty. Haiti is ravaged by this tyranny of the rich, through their unfair trade, the fraud and corruption of false aid, false benevolence, false charity, false food aid, and the false Christian missions whose help mostly don't reach the intended poorest of the poor but services the rich, kolon blan, kolon nwa and the global elite's agenda of keeping Haiti in debt and contained-in-poverty." (The Slavery in Haiti the Media Won't Expose and Care for Haiti -Humanitarian imperialism-a phenomenon that needs
to be understood and unmasked by all who care to safeguard life.)
In 1825, under the threat of re-enslavement and with
12 warships armed with 500 canons, France blackmailed Haiti into
agreeing to pay a bounty of 150 million Gold Francs for the lost of
men, women and children they had deemed to be "French property"
(slaves). (Open Letter to the People of France .)
"The
case for restitution was launched by President Jean Bertrand Aristide
on April 7, 2003 during the Bicentennial commemoration of the death of
Toussaint Louverture. This demand, formulated in the presence of the
people of Haiti, the dignified heirs of our ancestors, and in front of
MUPANAH (Musà ¨e du Panthà ¨on National Haitien - The Haitian
National Pantheon Museum) where the immortal souls of the Black race
repose in respect and dignity. Past and present were intimately linked
for a historic projection to the future." (http://bit.ly/9IHVMK)
It
took Haiti 122 years to pay this mafia debt, the last slave-trade
payment was made by tiny Haiti to the most powerful country on earth,
the United States of America in 1947. This endless debt permanently
impoverished Haiti.
The Haitian people's request for restitution
of the $22 billion is part of the reason for the second coup d'etat and
the current occupation of Haiti by the US, France and Canada through
their UN military proxy. (Read more about the Independence Debt at - Demand France Pay back the $22Billion Independence Debt and at Campaign 7 .)
