19674: Sylvain: On Aristide & TeleHaiti (fwd)

[Bob Corbett <corbetre@webster.edu>]

From: patrick sylvain <sylvaipa@hotmail.com>

(In his first public remarks since fleeing Haiti on Sunday,

Aristide condemned the armed insurgency that forced him out

-- yet said nothing about returning.



"In overthrowing me, they cut down the tree of peace,"

Aristide declared, in a short address played on state radio

here. "But it will grow again, because the roots are

well-planted.")--

One of the follies of Aristide is that of Grandeur. I just hope that Aristide’s
psychiatrist could publicly brake his vow of confidentiality in order to make
public Aristide’s mental health record.



Aristide, you will never come as close as an iota to the stature of Toussaint.
What you fermented in Haiti was state terror and hatred. I just hope, for the
record, that forensic scientists could raise part of the recently inaugurated
“Place Nazon-Delmas” as well as other parks that Aristide built, in order to
reveal the shocking truth of their buried contents.   François Duvalier had
also used similar tactics to hide his victims.



Also, it would be a public good if the owner of the 1986 video of the attempted
dechoukaj in Mariani could release finally it so the world could see who was
partly behind the selected burning of certain Vodoun Temples.



I’m also searching for a copy of an Aristide’s manuscript entitled: “Mission de
la Croix a la Croix-des-Missions”.  There are only two copies, so if one you on
the list has it…I’m more than interested.



Re: Télé-Haiti

While the Bicentenaire area was relatively calm, a bus sped through the
Tele-Haiti’s gate early in the morning and about ten well-armed men took charge
of the building. The armed looters remained there throughout the afternoon. By
5pm, the director, Fr. Lamothe, arrived with a police commissioner and managed
to put out a small fire in the cafeteria. The well armed looters took or
destroyed: the stock, the RFI studio, all of the offices, the editing room, all
of the computers, batteries, inverters, UPS and stabilizers, the air
conditioners, all of the vehicles, doors, windows and even the large bands of
coaxial cables.
