#965: 60 Minutes on November 14 : A response to earlier post
From:Gnsis32v28@aol.com
I would disagree with LMB on the 60 minutes piece. The Haitian government is
not allowed to proceed in a democratic way towards its aims of justice. The
United States government undermines any sovereign action by Haiti. I thought
that was pretty clear in the piece. The US brags about millions and billions
in assistance and gives it all to US citizens who are unqualified for
anything but ensuring the efforts fail. The US wants Haiti to be miserable
and poor, dependent on our subsidized farm produce, ready to fill sweatshops
for US textile and other industries. The US has been in firm control of
Haiti for over a century and is responsible for its condition. Haitians have
struggled and resisted this oppression valiantly like all of Latin America.
Haitians have the misfortune of being in great proximity to the US with its
racist hegemonic designs. The US has always and continues to export terror
to the Americas from the military training schools like Fort Benning. That
is the cause of the dead bodies in the streets of Port au Prince.
In a different segment on the same 60 minutes episode, the former president
of Yale defined the US contribution to the world as Democracy, which to him
means "competition." The US is always working to stay ahead and on top and
from our founding it has been accomplished with racist violence and genocide
wrapped in hypocritical claims to be selfless liberators.
The US has always sought its way. It believes that democracy for Haiti means
that we get the outcome we want. The US government does not believe that a
democratic process and orderly elections define democracy, not in Haiti and
not in the US. That is why it was opposed and opposes Aristide with violence
and lies. 60 minutes has pointed this out in its interview with Toto
Constant and now with its expose on USAID. Let's not forget the FRAHP
documents we stole from Haiti which illegally prevented the Haitian goverment
from pursuing justice. Haitian justice means uncovering US interference.
