19733: Mason Re 19721 & 19722 (fwd)

I find the recent shift in Corporate Press reporting and U.S. Government
stance with regard to Haiti to be quite interesting.

All of a sudden, the prospect of "rebels with a vendetta" / "rebels with an
agenda of their own" is NOT acceptable to the good old U.S. of A.

How sweet!


Now:

- AFTER a duly-elected President of the Republic of Haiti was successfully
"unseated" in the early morning hours of February 29, 2004 -- by the very same
"rebels" -- in full complicity with the good old U.S. of A.

- AFTER American Officials insisted at that time that they WOULD / COULD NOT
SET UP SUCH A SAFETY PERIMETER WHILE HE WAS STILL IN HAITI!


In particular, I point to this quote from Chamberlain's Post 19722:

"U.S. Marines secured key installations, stationing troops at the airport,
seaport and the National Palace, a symbol of Aristide's power.

U.S. military officials said "friction points" had developed between foreign
forces and the rebels. In one encounter on Tuesday, a band of about 20 armed
rebels roared up to the airport, searching for Aristide's political allies.

Marines chased them away with a show of force. "As soon as we rolled up on
them, they got the heck out," Sgt. Christopher Smith said.

The U.S. State Department made clear on Tuesday it did not recognize the
rebels' claim to control of security in Haiti and told "all illegal and armed
groups" to lay down their weapons and go home."


And this quote from Chamberlain's Post 19721:

"U.S. Marines blocked rebels from chasing officials of exiled leader
Jean-Bertrand Aristide as they fled to the airport Wednesday, apparently the first
action of American forces in Haiti to prevent further bloodshed.

With rebels patrolling the streets of Port-au-Prince and their leader
threatening to arrest the prime minister, U.S. forces said their mission in Haiti had
expanded beyond protecting U.S. citizens and interests to include protection
of Haitian civilians from reprisal attacks."


WATCHAGONNA DO, NOW: Haitian Business Elite and U.S. Government-sponsored
intelligence agencies?

Now that the Pandora's Box you both opened up for your own vested interests
CANNOT NOW EVER BE CLOSED?

What will your media explanation be in the upcoming near future???

And what in Hell is going to happen to ordinary Haitians -- as a result of
your Machiavellian collaboration?

How many will be killed and their deaths never recorded because they do not
matter within your accounting systems?

Do you even care?
