Haven't We Raped the Only Western Black Country Enough?
From the Washington Post describing Haiti -
destitute, corrupt and now ruined country...
That's right. That's how the major news organizations describe the only Black Western country. I wonder why they would say the country is destitute, corrupt and ruined? Giving them the benefit of the doubt, that they are innocently saying the county is poor - destitute, that the earthquake devastated their capital - ruined, there can be no innocence about calling a country corrupt. It is an insult of the highest order. Now if the country is in fact corrupt, the insult is well placed. Let's explore then if Haiti is in fact corrupt or maybe the Washington Post is trying to conceal the fact that the U.S. is corrupt.
Is Haiti Corrupt?
The short answer is no. The long answer is, Haitians are not corrupt, but the Europeans who hated that Black slaves revolting, and winning their independence, are. In Fact not only did the Black slaves of Haiti overthrow their white European slave owners, but they also then helped nearly all of central and South American countries also overthrow their European oppressors. And, for this, did they receive thanks? No, in fact
"the nation of former slaves was excluded from the hemisphere's first regional meeting of independent nations, held in Panama in 1826. Furthermore, owing to entrenched opposition from Southern slave states, Haiti did not receive U.S. diplomatic recognition until 1862 (after those states had seceded from the Union) – largely through the efforts of anti-slavery senator Charles Sumner of Massachusetts."
The first ruler of Haiti, the one to give the country its name, Jean-Jaque Dessalines, overthrew and ousted the French from the country by warfare. Just a scant 2 years later, his 2 advisors conspired and had him assassinated. Wait! Nowhere in any encyclopedia does it tell you about the actual conspiracy. ...hmmm I wonder if these 2 Black men conspired with ??? other Black men? Unlikely! Oh and in the books they say that Dessalines was strict and that the Black Haitians felt as if they were still slaves, due to his militant attitude of everyone should work to maintain the plantations to keep the country's export business going.
A couple of notes here. First of all, there is nothing comparable to being a slave, except being a slave. A free man working his own land to keep the country's economy going, would never feel like a slave. Dessalines immediately declared that no white person could own land in Haiti, and put it in the constitution. Secondly, Haiti had a hierarchy of skin color. White on top, mulatto in the middle and dark on bottom. I am positive that it stuck in their craw that a dark Black man was general and overthrew a European oppressor, to no end. To say that the top two advisers just up and decided to assassinate him would be like saying Judas, disciple of Jesus, just decided to have Jesus killed by himself. It is ridiculous to even suggest it. This dark Black man wielded real power and knew how to make his country successful and profitable. He went from being a slave for 30 years, to ruling the country.
So from the beginning the white man had his fingers stuck in the Black nation. In fact after getting their freedom from France, a later leader, with no spine, agreed to repay France for "loss of property" on threat of invasion. That debt took 125 years to pay off. Fast forward a bit and more cowardly leaders let white men get their fingers back in the Haitian pie. The Germans controlled 80% of all exports in Haiti. America, not wanting the Germans to have so much control, overthrew the country and occupied it, and setup American banks there who have never let go. America later on repeated the same thing, and overthrew a democratically elected president of the country and setup a dictator. Again they invaded to setup a puppet president only after he agreed to everything the world bank and IMF told him to do. America also sent American food products to be sold in Haiti, rice and corn, which was subsidized by our government, which cost 3 times less than what local farmers could sell them for. These products which had formerly had a 50% tariff on them, were slashed down to 3% after threatening the president of Haiti. This drove nearly all of the farmers out of business and left them homeless for lack of money. The entire country became dependent on foreign aid to feed itself.
Is Haiti corrupt? No. The white Europeans and Americans who have raped the country over and over and over have corrupted the 2nd oldest Black nation in the Western hemisphere.
The world then turns around and tries to demonize the country. Calling it corrupt and reporting the horrors of a leader that America put in power to begin with.
Why Was the Earthquake so Bad?
For the scientific explanation we turn to an Al Jazeera meteorologist who explained the tectonic reasoning behind the actual earthquake.
She says the problems are all due to where the Caribbean plate is situated. Haiti sits on a faultline in the earth's crust called the Enriquillo-Plantain Garden Fault.At 4:53 pm local time, the Caribbean Plate slipped against the North America plate, causing a massive tremor of 7.0 magnitude. That was quickly followed by giant aftershocks - at least 28 of them so far. It's the worst earthquake to hit the island in more than 200 years. The capital Port-au-Prince is only 15km from the epicenter of the quake. More than a million people live there, and it has been almost completely devastated according to witnesses. The impact on the surface was apparently made much more intense, because the movement between the two plates happened only 10km below the surface.
Briefly it means that plate America sits on is moving west, the South American plate is moving north and the Caribbean plate is moving east. Port-au-Prince sits squarely in the middle of all 3.
Also, understand something about the measurement of earthquakes. A magnitude is an algorithmic measurement not arithmetic measurement. Meaning, a magnitude 2 earthquake isn't double a magnitude 1.0 earthquake, it is 10 times a magnitude 1.0 earthquake. Also a magnitude 7 earthquake is 10 times a magnitude 6 earthquake. You can clearly see this by the way they note the earthquake magnitude: 1.1; 1.2; 1.3; 1.4... etc.
But that is just the scientific reason. There have been hundreds of earthquakes on small islands around the world, an nowhere was there even a 10th of the devastation that there was in Haiti. Why?
Go back and read the top part of this article. Every building in Port-au-Prince was built to a sub par standard. There were absolutely not even one building constructed with steel. Not even basic steel rods.
"You could tell very easily that these buildings were not going to survive even a [magnitude] 2 earthquake," said Cletus Springer, director of the Department of Sustainable Development at OAS [Organization of American States] in Washington.
Much of the poor-quality work can be traced to the grinding poverty pervasive in Haiti, he said. "As we know, the poverty in Haiti lends itself to people building where they want, how they can," he said. "It was our experience, especially coming out of Grenada, that in the poorer countries the construction quality standards are pretty lax,"
So a country that was once one of the richest countries in the west, has been so hammered by the white man, to end up among the poorest.
In the US, Barack Obama pledged $100m in aid to Haiti and said the US would grant "every element of our national capacity, our diplomacy and development assistance, the power of our military and most importantly, the compassion of our country" to Haiti.
I normally don't speak ill of people, but I doubt Obama will lift a finger to actually help Haiti. Oh I'm sure he will sign a pledge of aid to Haiti. But that aid will be in this form:
aid goes to buy food
food is purchased from American farmers
aid goes to buy transport
transport is purchased from American transporters
aid goes to pay for distribution of food
distribution are American workers
That takes care of all the aid. Look, $100 million went to aid Haiti, but somehow $99 million ended up in American hands. Oh you bet I'm being just cynical. No, this is how politics is done. The $100 million isn't free aid, it's a promise to a campaign contributor to get a kick back. U.S. politics has to be the most corrupt in the world. And, you're paying for the aid to begin with. Did you vote to give aid to Haiti? Did you vote on how the aid was going to be paid out? Don't worry, I'm paying too.
So while everyone is crying about Haiti and asking you to donate, why don't you call them and make your pledge and just before they say thanks and hang up, ask them how exactly will the aid be paid out. And, I want you to wait for a detailed explanation including which farm is the food being bought from.
If you wanna rattle some cages, ask real questions. Don't just give your money. Do you mind if 90 cents of your dollar goes into some big corporations pocket? I damn well do.
Finally, there is not one real news organization that will stand up and call a spade a spade. Haiti isn't corrupt. Haiti is in the grips of white power. White power has raped and pillaged the country and made it pay over and over and over for daring to get its independence from white people. 25 years ago, Haiti fed itself and no white power had a foothold in their agriculture. 25 years later the entire country cannot feed itself. 25 years later Haiti is the largest importer of American rice IN THE WORLD. 10 million people import the largest amount of rice grown in America out of the entire billions of people on the planet.
You want to help Haiti? Instead of buying food from American farmers, buy the food from their own Haitian farmers and then hire those same farmers to distribute the food. THAT would be actual aid to Haiti.
[I am not going to sugar coat this. I do not know of a live, working cop that is not dirty, criminally guilty of something, nor an upstanding citizen. My evidence shows all current working state and local police are criminals and should be prosecuted. My evidence also points to the fact that a vast majority of cops are uneducated to the point of being virtually illiterate. My evidence also points to the fact that a vast majority of cops have mental conditions that renders them unstable and a danger to hold a gun.]
Everyone has a tremendous fear or respect for state and local police. Those that respect the police however, I think are mongering on an era long past. That era saw a prosperous economy and even the poor did not go without. We are going back to the 20's. That era is long gone, where cops were there to protect the innocent. Cops were there to stand as a shield against a rain of bullets. Those that fear the police are equally in error. They do not see police as human and see nothing but the badge.
The reality of both situation is that the cops of today are a corrupt organization of individuals hell bent on thieving as much money as they possibly can from every person they can get their hands on. They are worse than the mafia. They do absolutely no police work. They have absolutely no protection agenda, of times long gone. As an arm of the state, they serve only to tax the citizens through the force of law and fines. Most violations on the books today, serve no other purpose than to fill the dirty coffers of the city and state. Other than capital crimes, no laws on the books serve to protect the very citizens they are fleecing. Even the mafia provided a better environment to live in than the dirty police departments that are the walk of the land these days.
Finally people are realizing that their own constitutional and civil rights are attempted to being buried by the very police that take an oath to uphold and preserve them. People are coming to terms with the fact that police are more prone to shoot, taze and gas a citizen they are trying to fleece, than a criminal they allegedly want to apprehend. Countries from the outside looking in shake their head at the utter disregard for human life that U.S. cops show towards their own citizens. Cop murdering and beating citizens in custody is on the rise. Cop murdering and beating completely innocent citizens is on the rise. And, because everyone runs in fear of police, no one is bring to task this filthy institution.
Entire Police Departments Dirty Nationwide
We have created a monster, no one wants to take out. We have created our own legal mafia, that not even the F.B.I. will take on. Governors and mayors alike will not fire police chiefs they know encourage their officers to beat and murder citizens. Judges will not put the same equal measure of the law against cops they know do not deserve to hold a gun, let alone the authority of the badge.
I have interviewed several retired and disgruntled policemen. These men were fine upstanding police officers, who took their oath of office seriously. Every one of them are disgusted with what is called police today. Every single one of them admitted and verified that police beat and murder and are encouraged to do so, citizens they get their hands on. Every single one of them felt they were incapable of changing this, due to the massiveness of this corruption. From the chief on down, they said the police are filled with nothing but thugs, drugs dealers, lawbreakers, hitmen and the very types of scum that should be behind bars. They said there is no police work going on at all in this day and age. I cannot convey their disgust and vehemence enough through these words, as they were told to me in those interviews. And, they were willing to give them, ready to give them and happy to tell me down to the last detail of what a gross miscarriage of justice that is being perpetrated as police departments of today, is going on.
I was struck by how many games, songs, raps, movies and t.v. shows, show cops being killed and or maligned and no one bats an eye. There was a time when such a thing would never be shown. If I say the chickens are coming home to roost, would you understand? In my city of Las Vegas, you may research this and look it up, cops did: drive by shootings; gangland style murders; burglaries; gunning down citizens; and drug running. To this day, nothing was done to the departments. There were no federal investigation. There was no F.B.I. oversight to serve as an interim police department while they fired everyone and hired new officers. In fact, they hired more unqualified people to collect a paycheck on the force.
Dirty Cops Ruin Lives
Let me give you a real life, worse case scenario of just awful police work:
A black friend of mine told me his own father was sent to prison for 5 years, for robbery with a deadly weapon. His father had been sitting eating in front of a 7-11, with him, age 6. While the two sat eating the store was robbed at gunpoint and a clerk was fired upon. The police showed up to the scene removed my friend's father from the car and beat him to bloody mess, in front of the child. Mind you, the father was an electrician, still in uniform, with identification, tools and all evidence pointing to him doing exactly what I described, eating with his son after work. Also, no gun was found in, nor around the vehicle. Yet they sent him to prison for 5 years. Of course, once this reached a judge with an ounce of gray matter between his ears, it was obvious and clear that my friend's father had absolutely nothing to do with the robbery. Once it was proven, beyond a doubt, that it was not him, the state had to pay his father $75,000 per each year spent in prison, with interest. However, my friend's, his brothers', and father's lives were all ruined. The boys were sent to foster care in the worst possible neighborhoods and both came out in the worst possible way. What is even more sad, is that at age 14 the younger brother of my friend played and beat team members of the L.A. Clippers. Talk about shoddy police work.
We need to close departments down. We need to remove from service these police that feel they can brutalize citizens they have in custody. We need more qualifications for people to become police, not less. We do not want every Tom, Dick and Harry that applies to be able to hold a badge and a gun. A famous friend of mine said he saw several former drug dealers working for the federal government as well. He said they were still doing their same activity. The police need to be jailed that do crime. The police need to get the death penalty if they are murdering people just as common criminals do. Never should a uniform protect you from your due punishment if you are doing criminal activity. And, I am not talking about Wall Street people that can explain that they had no part in a wrong doing. I am talking about police pulling a trigger they have put to a man's head. I am talking about a 250lb man beating and sodomizing 16 year old boys. I am talking about armed men jumping into an unmarked car and shooting up a citizen's home. I am talking about eye witnesses confirming these were police officers doing this, not hearsay. I am talking about former cops telling what they saw first hand, not hearsay.
Shut down these police departments and sue the state for running a racket with these tickets that are nothing more than taxation without representation nor legal authority. I was having a conversation with several people about a jay walking ticket price. One person said they were fined $400.00 for jay walking. That, my friend, is not a ticket. That, my friend, is not something to protect you from crossing the street into oncoming traffic. That, my friend, is the city and state trying to rob you blind. That, is worse than sheriff of Nottingham stuff. Even the mafia had the decency to collect little from those with little and a lot from those with lots.
And, the mafia knew what was going down; what doing it; who did it; who ordered it; and how to stop it, if it needed stopping. These police do no police work. They are criminals without an ounce of sense. They need to be shut down; thrown in jail and run out of town.
Police should not be something you run away from. Police are supposed to be someone you run to... for help. And, don't get me started on the racism within their own departments, police shooting police because of the color of their skin or nationality or religion. Oh, I guess you thought I didn't know about that too. I am telling you. I know the scoop and these people need to go. If police are making at the low end $60,000 / year, they need to all have college degrees. That should be a minimum requirement. Let's see if we can't get a better breed of humans, with an education requirement in there.
