Ok and now what? Those countries aren't going anywhere. So...
Haitian President Jovenel Moise has been assassinated
- Thread starter Duece
- Start date
Biden can say what he wants but USA doesn't act like that in real life ...there may be more important countries to US policy than Haiti but USA is a gangster and doesn't give passes...everybody gotta tow the line or face punishment...see Cuba and their continued sanctions even with Fidel dead and gone..this interview was probably around the time USA was being accused of preventing Aristide from taking power
Oh I definitely know. US has been fucking with Haiti forever. How dare they rebel from slavery and scare the forefathers of this shitty ass country into thinking their slaves would do the same
Damn
Vice News has done a few vids on Haiti recently too.
Seriously? Rarely is an assassination a good thing. MLK's wasn't good, neither were JFK's, Malcolm X, Robert F Kennedy or Medgar Evers.
You saw January 6, 2021 now imagine if that assassination was here. We've witnessed what a single asshole can do, when speaking to thousands of fellow assholes. Now imagine if that assassination was here. No its not a good thing.
The brilliance of neo-colonialism over traditional colonialism...people think Haiti is governing itself
Who is governing the country?
The US installed puppet who just got murdered. They tried the same thing in Venezuela but the people don't recognize the US puppet as their leader
Haiti doesn't have a gov't right now... all the high positions are vacant except PMBut I thought it was the US killed him, the gunmen had American accents
he got appointed on Monday and he hasnt sworn in yet
expect chaos and another US occupation soon
I doubt that, what does Haiti have of value?
We don't know who killed him. We know who killed the country. The US surely could have killed him as pretext to another occupation. They've done it beforeBut I thought it was the US killed him, the gunmen had American accents
What did they have of value from 1915 to 1934 when the US invaded and occupied the country?
Bauxite, copper, calcium carbonate, gold, and marble are the most extensively mined minerals in Haiti
also...
Natural Resources Of Haiti
During the nineteen years of the U.S. occupation, fifteen thousand Haitians were killed. Any resistance to the centralized, U.S.-installed puppet governments was crushed, and a gendarmerie—a combination of army and police, modelled after an occupation force—was created to replace the Marines after they left. Although U.S. troops officially pulled out of Haiti in 1934, the United States exerted some control over Haiti’s finances until 1947
The legacy of occupation and invasion, meanwhile, has continued to shadow Hispaniola in the decades since the U.S. officially pulled out. United States Marines invaded Santo Domingo in 1965, and carried out an intervention in Haiti in 1994. Some observers charge that the U.S. State Department manipulated the results of the 2010 Haitian Presidential elections. The United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (minustah) now operates in the country. Several forensic studies indicate that minustah peacekeepers likely introduced the cholera epidemic that has killed more than eight thousand people in Haiti, but U.N. officials have refused to accept responsibility.

its 2021 no one gives a shit. Like that Biden vid, if Haiti sunk tomorrow it would not affect America's interests at all.
Haiti's government is under the control of foreign interests who work hand in hand with the elites of Haiti to exploit the resources of Haiti at the expense of its common people....for this treachery they get their piece of the pie...time will tell why this particular puppet was killed but he seemed to be making enemies of some of the elites in addition to the poor
Yet the president that was just killed was installed by the US. The US has never stopped being involved in Haiti. So it must be relevant some how.
This history includes U.S.-backed coups that have installed corrupt dictators in Haiti, such as the notorious François “Papa Doc” Duvalier (1957-1971) and his successor Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier (1971-1986). Their repressive regimes embraced economic austerity and utilized military violence to restrain anti-government protest. After a near three decade-long struggle to overthrow the Duvalier dictatorship, the first free, democratic and peaceful polls elected anti-imperialist liberation theologian Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1990. Yet less than a year later, the United States waged its first coup against Aristide, and its second in 2004 following Aristide’s re-election in 2000. Only a few days ago, on October 15, did the people of Haiti see the end of a 15-year period of military control by the United Nations Security Council, deployed in force to repress Haitian resistance following the 2004 coup
Was the previous president a puppet too? I just think people are looking for the big bad guy to blame and not accepting Haitian politicians just being greedy fucks looking out for their interests with no foreign interference.
Ask the Clintons...just so you know, there are rich people in Haiti...so there must be something of value there
What did tiny Grenada have of value when Reagan declared war on them?
Yes he was a hand picked puppet who picked the gentleman who was killed last night
Yes actually he was
if this was authentic: the announcement would be in Creole
