*Haitian Mob Refuses UN Food Aid Through Confusion Over Expiry Date* ** *These primitives don't deserve our help. Watch the video. ** http://www.freedomslighthouse.com/2010/01/haitian-crowd-refuses-un-food.html *<http://www.freedomslighthouse.com/2010/01/haitian-crowd-refuses-un-food.html> * Here is pathetic video of a UN Food Truck in Haiti trying to distribute high energy biscuits to hungry people in Port-Au-Prince today. At first the Haitians push and shove to get to the food, and then some begin telling the people to not accept the biscuits because the "food is no good." They were mistaking the packaging date of 2008 with the expiration date of 2010. The crowd became angry and the food truck drove away with some of the people still trying to get the food*

*Black Haitians Committed Genocide Against Whites in their Revolution In their revolution, Haiitians massacred and committed genocide against the the White (French) settlers who had made this tropical land bloom and rich. Tens of thousands of Europeans were shot, hanged, hacked, raped, poisoned and burned alive.[The lowest estimate is 24,000, according to Thomas Ott, The Haitian Revolution, 1789-1804.] Haiti has been a poverty stricken, violent, degraded basket case ever since. The following appeared in Time Magazine in 1965, slightly more honest and less politically correct times. The forlorn, hate-filled little Caribbean Island In the 1780s, its foreign trade approached $140 million a year, with vast profits from sugar, coffee, cocoa, cotton and indigo In 1804, a former slave named Jean Jacques Dessalines proclaimed Haiti a free and independent nation and became its Governor General. "To draw up the charter of our independence," he felt, "would require the skin of a white man as parchment, his skull as an inkwell, his blood as ink, and a bayonet as a pen." Dessalines died by an assassin's bullet within three years. His successor, Henri Christophe, cared little for charters, black or white. He proclaimed himself King, set up a ludicrous aristocracy (including such titles as the Duke of Marmelade and Count of Limonade), and ruled as a merciless despot until 1820, when his officers revolted, and he committed suicide by firing a silver bullet into his brain. ... No sooner had the Dominican Republic declared its independence in 1821 than it was invaded by neighboring Haiti, which occupied the country for 22 brutal years. The Haitians banned all foreign priests, severed papal relations, closed the University of Santo Domingo, and levied confiscatory taxes. ... Over the next century, dictator followed dictator in Haiti. By 1910, rebellions had ousted 13 of Haiti's first 18 Presidents. Then, in the space of 47 months, one President was blown up in his palace, another was believed poisoned, three were deposed, and the last was grabbed by a mob and hacked into small pieces. President Woodrow Wilson finally ordered U.S. Marines to occupy the country in 1915. They remained 19 years, and gave Haiti the only true peace it has ever known. Acting through puppet Presidents, they disarmed rebels and bandits, built roads, irrigation projects, sanitation facilities, and organized schools and hospitals. F.D.R. withdrew the marines in 1934, and Haiti returned to its old ways: nine governments in 20 years, the last headed by François ("Papa Doc") Duvalier, 58, a onetime country physician who took office in 1957, proclaimed himself "President for life," and ruled through voodoo mysticism and the strong-arm terror of his 5,000-man Tonton Macoute secret police. ... "Haitians," says Duvalier in his soft whisper, "have a destiny to suffer." And if his people complain, they can pray, from a 63-page Catechism of the Revolution turned out by the Government Printing Office and circulating last week in Port-au-Prince. The Lord's Prayer: "Our Doc who art in the National Palace for Life, hallowed be Thy name by present and future generations, Thy will be done at Port-au-Prince and in the provinces. Give us this day our new Haiti and never forgive the trespasses of the enemies of the Fatherland, who spit every day on our Country. Let them succumb to temptation and under the weight of their own venom. Deliver them not from any evil. Amen." (Time, May 7, 1965) The Province of Quebec has as its motto: "Je me souviens" (I remember).Indeed, let's. *

 

HAITI

*Haiti* What can you say? The very name invokes collapse and disorder. "Haiti accounts for the western third of the island of Hispaniola, with the Dominican Republic taking up the remainder. And while both countries groan under populations of 9-million-plus, Haiti's are squeezed into just 27,560 sq km -- an area smaller than Vancouver Island. According to the *CIA World Fact Book*, 2008 GDP per capita was $8,200 in the DR and $1,300 in Haiti. Literacy runs to 87% in the DR -- 52.9% in Haiti. Religious affiliation in the DR is "Roman Catholic 95%, other 5%," in Haiti "roughly half the population practices voodoo." Ethnic make up in the DR is "mixed 73%, white 16%, black 11%," -- the composition of Haiti is "black 95%, mulatto and white 5%." Aerial photos show Haiti's portion of Hispaniola as a brown denuded wasteland against the verdant green of DR. The starkest contrast is surely that on the day after the earthquake, life in DR went on as usual. Televangelist *Pat Robertson* scandalized the *bien pensées* when he said "something happened a long time ago in Haiti, and people might not want to talk about it. ... They got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, 'We will serve you if you'll get us free from the French.' [This is based on a surprisingly resiliant] tale of Haitian voodoo priests sacrificing a pig and drinking its blood in 1791 in order to secure Satan's aid in expelling the French occupation [sic]. In return, the priests are said to have promised Haiti to Satan for the next 200 years." (*Time*, January 14, 2010) Whatever the cause, Haiti was the poorest nation in the hemisphere before the first tremor. Dilapidated buildings and shoddy infrastructure could only hurtle Haiti deeper into an everlasting tailspin of trauma and violence. Compare the 1989 7.1 magnitude earthquake in San Fransisco, there was a lot of destruction but only 67 people died. After the Haitian quake, our Governor General, the Haitian Sensation, inserted herself front and centre, pleading as usual on behalf of the country she loves -- as opposed to Canada. Ottawa fell into line, commiting to several inalterable courses of action: Fast-tracking family reunification applications, prioritizing Haitian adoptions, expediting around 5,000 immigration applications. Hopefully not all 5,000 will correspond to the more than 5,000 prisoners who escaped when the main prison in Port-au-Prince collapsed. Or looters: "As he ran from the scene with a big box of tampons, *Love Zedouni* shouted: 'I've got no idea what this is, but I'm sure you can sell it.'" (*Globe and Mail*, January 18, 2010) Given that Ottawa's screening procedures are pretty limp at the best of times, we mustn't expect any *real* miracles here. Ottawa has pledged $135-million for the Haitian relief effort and promises to match dollar for dollar private donations (so Canadians donate and then Ottawa gallantly uses our own money to match that amount). This past summer, Ottawa announced that it was forgiving $2.3 million in debt owed by Haiti -- part of a larger debt forgiveness programme that will write off $1.3-billion in Third World loans. A year ago, then-*Foreign Affairs* Minister *Maxime Bernier* (he of the biker chick girlfriend) announced $555-million in aid to Haiti, "*because we have in Quebec a Haitian community that has brought so much to Canada*." And so much more on the way.
