December 28, 2016</p>
<p>It should be obvious by now that the U.S.-U.N., E.U.,
OAS and various hired paramilitary police have
engineered a second fraudulent election in as many years
in Haiti.</p>
<p>This latest attempt to kill Haiti’s freedom by aborting
her dreams of democracy via the electoral process was
designed to prevent landslide victories by Fanmi
Lavalas, reminiscent of the presidential victories of
Jean Bertrand Aristide. The U.S. and U.N. do not want to
see this.</p>
<p>But people have turned out in force, as protests
continue against the blatant sabotage of the Nov. 20,
2016, elections, where Dr. Maryse Narcisse and Fanmi
Lavalas again sought to reclaim Haiti’s freedom, only to
be met – again – by a U.S. elite intent upon electoral
sabotage.</p>
<p>But the fraudulent elections have ignited the country.
Daily protests have been held for over a month. For the
35th consecutive day, tens of thousands are in the
streets, who see in the candidacy of Dr. Narcisse the
fruition of their dreams: freedom, dignity and
sovereignty via a political party of the people that
knows what it wants to achieve.</p>
<p>The international press is busily trying to shore up
the fraudulent “win” of PHTK (or bald head party)
candidate Jovenel Moise. But even in an electoral
process that was blatantly manipulated, Moise, “the
banana man,” controls nothing in Haiti but his mouth,
and that not very well.</p>
<p>And the U.S. government, reminiscent of the cryptic
simplicity of Langston Hughes’ poem, “<a
href="http://www.angelfire.com/freak/lizchan/christ.html">Christ
in Alabama</a>,” taunts and tries to snatch Haitian
freedom with its entrenched racism.</p>
<h3><span>It should be obvious by now that the U.S.-U.N.,
E.U., OAS and various hired paramilitary police have
engineered a second fraudulent election in as many
years in Haiti.</span></h3>
<p>But Haiti is rising up, and she is fighting back! With
the swiftness of a Muhammad Ali strike, Haiti reminds us
that we have not ever been n****rs, and that we always
define our tree of liberty – and our “place” – as being
free.</p>
<p>Haitian grassroots people are battling the attempted
electoral coup d’etat, and are now into 35 consecutive
days of peaceful yet forceful demonstrations against the
fraud. This has got the resident oligarchies so worried
that they have escalated their military and political
attacks.</p>
<p>Corrupt judges and the PHTK party of Michel Martelly
are trying to force international observers and parties
contesting the fraudulent Nov. 20 elections to quit the
fraud probe. Attacks by militarized police against
peaceful demonstrators are growing in number and
strength. The entire electoral process is broken, worse
than in the U.S.</p>
<p>On Dec. 24, 2016, at about 2 p.m. Haitian time (5 p.m.
PST) in an escalating show of force, militarized police,
armed to the teeth, shot indiscriminately into a crowd
of thousands. Many demonstrators were wounded on Martin
Luther King Avenue in Port au Prince.</p>
<h3><span>Haitian grassroots people are battling the

consecutive days of peaceful yet forceful
demonstrations against the fraud.</span></h3>
<p>Members of Fanmi Lavalas were especially targeted. A
sitting member of parliament had his car shot up by
police. According to witnesses a policeman took his
automatic weapon and smashed out the back window of the
car owned by a Fanmi Lavalas candidate for the Senate.</p>
<p>A journalist from Radio Timoun, the people’s radio
station, was also injured by police gunfire and was
taken to the hospital. The people announced that
demonstrations would continue on Dec. 25, 2016, day 34.
They will not stop.</p>
<p>Fascism sends its Seasons Greetings full of repression
from U.N.-occupied Haiti.</p>
<p>A critical question people should be asking themselves
is why do a bunch of fascist, billionaire whites, their
international quislings and the internal puppet
leadership of Haiti want so badly to maintain an
apartheid regime and the occupation and ownership of a
sovereign Afrikan country they describe as “the poorest
country in the Western Hemisphere?”</p>
<p>Recall that Haiti was forced to pay the blood sucking
World Bank and its IMF vampire siblings more than a
million dollars per week to satisfy debts incurred by
the 29-year Papa Doc and Baby Doc Duvalier family
regimes and other Duvalierist tyrants who succeeded
them. The most recent example of these is the highway
robbery of the treasury by Hillary Clinton’s puppet,
Michel Martelly.</p>
<p>Round and round and round they go, with the World Bank
lying and saying it is eradicating poverty, while
Haitians eat mud cookies in order to repay a debt caused
by white theft and to be considered deserving of “help”
from blood sucking multilateral financial institutions.</p>
<p>Such thieves include the Clinton Foundation, which
claimed magnanimity in their dealings with Haiti, as
billions of dollars of earthquake relief money under
their control remained unaccounted for.</p>
<p>The people of Haiti are left even more impoverished.</p>
<p>This continual interference in Haiti’s democratic
process keeps happening because:</p>
<p>1) Haiti overthrew chattel enslavement of Afrikan
people over 200 years ago by slapping down the combined
military might of France, England and Spain, thus
establishing its independence and turning the myth of
white supremacy on its head. “We are the first Black
independent country in the world,” asserts its first
democratically elected president, Jean Bertrand
Aristide.</p>
<p>2) Even though the same “civilized” Euro-American and
Canadian regimes instigated two coups d’etat against the
government of President Aristide, the people have never
stopped resisting tyranny.</p>
<p>3) Haitian resistance keeps getting stronger, despite
U.S.-U.N. occupation of the country. In collusion with
the U.S. government, in 2004 the United Nations brought
its un-peacekeeping, cholera spreading, brutal force of
10,000 MINUSTAH troops into Haiti. Along with the
reconstituted Haitian army, headed by drug runners
wanted by the DEA, these combined forces exist to “keep
the natives in their place.” This is with the full
support of the Organization of American States (OAS) and
the European Union (EU).</p>
<p>4) President Jean Bertrand Aristide fought for and
continues to fight for Haitian dignity, sovereignty and
independence. When he was in office, he refused to be a
sellout president and kept all of the Haitian assets for
the Haitian people. In 2003, he demanded that over $22
billion in money extorted from Haiti by 19th century
France be restored. Haiti was originally forced to pay
this money, starting in 1826, to former slave owning
French plantation owners.</p>
<p>5) Drs. Jean-Bertrand Aristide and Maryse Narcisse both
defy the evil of entrenched tyranny. Dr. Maryse
Narcisse, the 2016 Fanmi Lavalas presidential candidate,
is in the streets daily with the people fighting for
Haiti’s independence.</p>
<p>6) President Aristide fought for fair trade for Haiti,
in defiance of the Clinton regime policies that
collapsed Haiti’s economy.</p>
<p>7) Haiti’s geographic location boasts huge oil, gold
and other reserves of wealth. She is also strategically
located in relationship to Cuba.</p>
<p>8) President Aristide attacked and threatened the
hegemony and corruption of Haiti’s 1 percent ruling
elite by enforcing labor and taxation legislation laws.</p>
<p>The U.S. attitude toward Haiti has always been one of
keeping Afrikans “in their place,” as described by white
supremacy.</p>
<p>In the 19th century, the U.S. government didn’t want a
free Afrikan state dismantling its brutal slave economy.
So enslaver U.S. President Thomas Jefferson gave
Napoleon $40,000 to re-enslave Haiti.</p>
<p>He also put the word out that an Afrikan person was
only worth three fifths as much as a white person.
Napoleon got his butt kicked, Jefferson lost a lot of
money but acquired the Louisiana Purchase for a song,
and Haiti was free.</p>
<h3><span>The U.S. attitude toward Haiti has always been
one of keeping Afrikans “in their place,” as described
by white supremacy.</span></h3>
<p>Fast-forward to 1915 and U.S. President Woodrow Wilson
of “Birth of a Nation”-reinstitute-the-KKK-filmmaking
fame. His secretary of state, William Byron Jennings,
“disapproved” of “Niggers speaking French!” in Haiti.
Wilson sent in the Marines to occupy and rob Haiti from
1915-1934.</p>
<p>Fast-forward again to 2004.</p>
<p>Haitians kept deciding that their “place” was to be
free, so the IRI, Colin Powell – another lying secretary
of state, the CIA, and USAID kidnapped President
Aristide and his family by transporting them as “cargo”
to the Central Afrikan Republic in a U.S. plane designed
for the program of “extraordinary rendition.”</p>
<p>Well, that didn’t work either because Congresswoman
Maxine Waters, Trans-Africa founder Randall Robinson and
others snatched them back from the brink of captivity
and they went into exile, first in Jamaica then in South
Africa, until the power of the Haitian people brought
them back home to Haiti.</p>
<p>Hurricanes, earthquakes, odious Euro-U.S. debt designed
to kill people by the dollar, Duvalier Papa and Baby
Doc, the U.S. government and the U.S. puppet’s thefts of
Haitian resources, DEA drug runners, entrenched racism,
foreign domination, onerous rapes, pre-dawn U.N. and
paramilitary attacks, strip mining, cholera, odious
rapacious secretaries of state from William Byron
Jennings to Hillary Rodham Clinton, terrorist Tonton
Macoutes, starvation, murders, kidnappings and
disappearances of children, freedom fighters and
pro-democracy activists Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, Father
Gérard-Jean Juste, to name but two; mud cookies for food
…</p>
<p>In spite of all of these horrible things and more, the
Afrikan people of Haiti keep fighting to be free. <a
href="http://www.counterpunch.org/2004/01/01/forget-haiti-forget-ourselves/">Haitian
resistance</a> to entrenched U.S. interference in her
government has not ceased for over 200 years. It will
not stop. It is about to be 2017, right now.</p>
<p>The Haitian Revolution, from 1791-1804 … it is
happening again. The people of Haiti will be free.</p>
