Les Etats Unis ont-ils provoqué le tremblement de terre à Haiti ?
Posted by seumasach on January 22, 2010
22nd January, 2010
Selon Russia Today, le président du Venezuela, Hugo Chávez Frías, a évoqué la possibilité que les Etats-Unis aient provoqué la série de tremblement de terre de la semaine dernière aux Caraïbes, dont celui qui a dévasté Haïti. Selon VivéTv, ce sont les armées russes qui ont évoqué cette éventualité. Quoi qu’il en soit, le Venezuela, la Bolivie et le Nicaragua ont demandé la convocation en urgence du Conseil de sécurité. Celui-ci devrait examiner ces imputations et l’invasion « humanitaire » d’Haïti par les troupes états-uniennes.

America’s Role in Haiti: Sabotage of Relief Efforts?

Think about it: A whole city that once had a population of two million people. Now there is mile after mile of buildings collapsed after a huge earthquake. Many, many bodies are sandwiched between layers of heavy concrete slabs lying in huge heaps. But there are also many people, perhaps thousands, still alive, trapped inside, crying out. For days help from the outside still hasn’t arrived and desperate relatives continue to dig at the rubble with their bare hands. Amazingly, even after three days, human voices are still emanating from the ruins. But then, there are fewer and they are softer. Eventually a deafening quiet surrounds the crumbled buildings as the city of Port-au-Prince becomes a vast tomb.

Haiti: Grants to repay an odious debt ?

Geography and bad luck are only partly to blame for Haiti’s tragedy. Haiti was born of slavery and revolution, declaring independence from France on 1 January 1804. In exchange for diplomatic recognition, France forced the new republic to pay enormous reparations. Ever since, Haiti has been trapped in a spiral of crippling debt, exploitation, corruption, violence and destitution. Decades of ensuing foreign interventions and policies, combined with strangling IMF-World Bank diktats and horribly one-sided “free trade” deals, have brought Haiti completely to its knees. No response to the tragedy of the Haitian people can be efficient unless its root causes are properly adressed.

US closing in for the kill in Haiti

You want to hear about chutzpah? You want to hear about sheer gravity-defying audacity? Well, ladies and gentlemen, comrades and friends, prepare to catch your lower jaw. Forget Rush Limbaugh’s racist anxieties. Forget about Pat Robertson drooling about Haiti’s “pact with the devil.”
He’s a senile old bigot and his sick provocations are familiar by now. This is the Heritage Foundation on the Haiti earthquake, which is estimated to have killed 100,000 people.
Amidst the Suffering, Crisis in Haiti Offers Opportunities to the US, the piece is entitled.

From Cynthia McKinney: An Unwelcome Katrina Redux
Posted by seumasach on January 19, 2010
Cynthia McKinney
President Obama’s response to the tragedy in Haiti has been robust in military deployment and puny in what the Haitians need most: food; first responders and their specialized equipment; doctors and medical facilities and equipment; and engineers, heavy equipment, and heavy movers. Sadly, President Obama is dispatching Presidents Bush and Clinton, and thousands of Marines and U.S. soldiers. By contrast, Cuba has over 400 doctors on the ground and is sending in more; Cubans, Argentinians, Icelanders, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans, and many others are already on the ground working–saving lives and treating the injured. Senegal has offered land to Haitians willing to relocate to Africa.
