Genocide in Haiti: Fulfilling Leclerc's imperative

By Èzili Dantò

Sonthonax, the Commissioner from France back during revolutionary days landed in Haiti not to end slavery but to give rights to Mulatto oligarchs and maintain the slavery of the African masses. The African masses overcame Sonthonax, won their freedom in combat, eradicating physical slavery. The UN and Bill "Sonthonax" Clinton are helping to fulfill Leclerc's imperative through debt, privatization, free trade and wage slavery.

Fulfilling Leclerc's imperative through debt, privatization, free trade and wage slavery

A genocide is going on in Haiti right now. When only a handful of Haitians are working, when there's 70% unemployment and those actually formally working are only making .22 cents (70 gourdes) an hour and forced to pay the Haitian Oligarchs for food to eat at high U.S. import prices, starvation is a given. It's economic slavery.
