The United States, seconded by other “Core Group” nations like France, Canada, Germany, Spain, and Brazil, pushed out Haiti’s Interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph in favor of Dr. Ariel Henry, 71, who was installed as the new Prime Minister on Tue., Jul. 20.

Washington tried to hide its role in pressuring for the switch from Joseph to Henry. “We are taking the side of the Haitian people,” said U.S. State Department spokesman, Ned Price, in a Jul. 19 press conference. “This is a dialogue that has been ongoing between various Haitian political stakeholders.”

“Ned, whether you want to admit it or not, there was a shift in what you had been saying,” responded the Associated Press’ Matt Lee. “You were all in support of the acting prime minister, and then, all of a sudden, on Saturday, you and the other members of the Core Group came out in support of Mr. Henry.”

Nonetheless, both Joseph and Henry are U.S. allies. The National Endowment for Democracy (NED), an institute spun out of the CIA in 1983 to implement Washington’s regime change and neocolony maintenance agenda worldwide, backed Joseph as a pro-coup “human rights” and student “leader” in the run-up to the 2004 overthrow of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide. In concert with Joseph’s role, Henry was part of the U.S.-concocted “Council of Wise People” which provided the window-dressing to facilitate the transfer of power from Aristide to de facto Prime Minister Gérard Latortue after the Feb. 29, 2004 coup.

Meanwhile, new details about and suspects in the machine-gunning of Jovenel Moïse emerged this week. On Wed., Jul. 14, Haïti Liberté broke the story that it was the Colombian mercenaries (not the presidential security unit, as some had speculated) who killed Moïse and wounded his wife, Martine Moïse.

Link to Twitter thread on Haiti

“Haiti was one of the riches colonies int he world. In 1789, Haiti produced 75% of the world's sugar and was the leading producer of cotton.

The island is the source of roughly 1/5 of France's wealth. France turned Haiti into a slave colony and started massive deforestation.

When the French were driven out in 1804, this was a frightening shock to the world—Haiti became the first free, black, former slave country.

Haiti was immediately punished for this liberation: France imposed an extreme indemnity on Haiti to enter the international economy.

Haiti didn't finish paying until after WWII. The United States imposed yet a harsher sentence—they refused to recognize Haiti until 1862.

Interestingly, 1862 was the same year the US recognized Liberia, and for the same reason: it was the year of the Emancipation Proclamation.

Unsure with what to do with a massive population of freed Black people, the most popular idea was to ship them off to Haiti and Liberia.

That plan was dropped after the South was given authority to institute a system that was, in many ways, worse than slavery: convict leasing.

The first US prison boom resulted from convict leasing, where millions of mostly Black men were arrested & thrown in mines & cotton fields.

In the 1870s, the US took over from France in torturing Haiti. In the late 19th century there were dozens of military interventions.

The worst, led by Woodrow Wilson (Nobel Laureate), was in 1915, when the US military brutally attacked Haiti and the Dominican Republic.

It was bad in DR, but worse in Haiti because they were "n*****s, not spics." Wilson re-instituted slavery in Haiti & killed ~15,000 people.

The US marines drove out the Haitian parliament at gun-point because they wouldn’t accept the US version of a new Haitian Constitution.

The US Constitution, written by FDR, included provisions for US corporations to buy up Haitian land-"progressive legislation" it was called.

The only way to develop Haiti was to allow US corporations to buy it; since Haitians couldn’t understand, Parliament had to be disbanded.

The Haitan people--"n*****s speaking French” as William Jennings Bryan referred to them--didn't want the US Constitution.

The marines then *did* hold a referendum: 5% of the population voted, and the US Constitution won 99.99% of the vote.

Most of the population was driven off, and the US left both countries—Haiti/DR—in the hands of brutal militaries, trained by the US marines.

In the 1980s, the atrocities escalated again: the World Bank/USAID were created and determined to make Haiti “the Taiwan of the Caribbean.”

The proposal included policies that were the exact *opposite* of the ones pursued by Taiwan.

Haiti—under threat of force—followed the advice of the World Bank, which was to drive the population from the countryside into the cities.

The World Bank plan required they gut spending on education, social programs, and infrastructure, because economics explains that’s a waste.

There were political developments: an "election" in 1986. Baby Doc, the 2nd of the Duvaliers, was elected after winning 99.98% of the vote.

Ronald Reagan praised “Democratic progress” in Haiti, and subsequently increased aid to the military junta.

Nobody was paying attention, but behind all of the terror and monstrosities, the Haitians were engaging in remarkable grassroots activism.

In 1990, Haitians committed a major crime, which required serious punishment: there was a free election, & the Haitians voted the wrong way.

If you want to know what happens when you vote the wrong way in a free and open election, ask the people in Gaza.

Amazingly, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a populist priest and a strong proponent of liberation theology, won the election with 2/3 of the vote.

The United States immediately shifted all military aid to the business-led opposition to lay the basis for overthrowing the government.

Aristide was quite successful--it looked, for a while, that Haiti might not only become free and democratic, but fall out of US hands.

The military coup took place 7 months after Aristide’s election. In response, the Organization of American States imposed an embargo.

The US technically joined the embargo, but within a few weeks, Bush 41 modified the terms, allowing US corporations to violate the embargo.

Bush (+ Clinton) issued Presidential Directives blocking oil shipments to the military, but both secretly permitted Texaco Oil to send oil.

In 1994, Clinton did send in the marines and allowed Aristide to return, but under very harsh conditions:

Aristide must accept the program of the defeated candidate in the 1990 election--neoliberal policies that destroyed Haitian agriculture.

Well there was another election in 2000, and Aristide won handily. The United States, under George W. Bush, blocked all aid to Haiti.

Haiti had to pay interest on the aid it wasn’t getting.

Meanwhile, the country was being hit by natural disasters, magnified by the destruction of the land and society over the past 200 years.

In 2004, Haiti’s two main torturers (France & the US) invaded, kidnapped Aristide, exiled him to Central Africa & re-imposed the military.

And now we’re reaching the present moment. In January 2010, a major earthquake hit Haiti and killed ~300,000 people.

Aristide submitted a request to France to provide aid to Haiti to help after the indemnity they imposed; they put together a govt committee.

Headed by Régis Debray, a liberal French politician, the committee determined that there was no merit in the request.

After more than 200 years of terror and torture, it is time for the United States and France to pay *substantial* reparations to Haiti.”

Meet your new Vice President!

Here is a timely editorial that exposes the hidden background of Kamala Harris from the Combat Veterans for Congress Political Action Committee that is posted here with permission of the author.

CVFC PAC supports the election of US military combat veterans to the US Senate and House of Representatives.

The editorial begins:

Kamala Harris’ father was an avowed Marxist professor in the Economics Department at Stanford University in Palo Alto, CA. Both of Harris’ parents were active in the Berkeley based Afro- American Association; Fidel Castro and Che Guevara were the heroes of the Afro-American Association.

The group’s leader, Donald Warden (aka Khalid al-Mansour), mentored two young Afro-American Association members, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale; they created the Maoist inspired Black Panther Party which gained strong support from Communist China; the Black Panther Party served as the model for creation of the Black Lives Matter Marxist organization.

Khalid al-Mansour subsequently went on to arrange financing and facilitated for Barack Hussein Obama to be accepted as a student to matriculate at Harvard Law School.

Following her graduation from college, Harris returned to California and subsequently became the mistress of the 60-year-old married Speaker of the California Assembly, Willie Brown, Jr. Brown’s political campaigns were supported and funded by Dr. Carlton Goodlett, the owner of The Sun Reporter and several other pro-Communist newspapers. Brown was elected as Mayor of San Francisco, and strongly endorsed Harris’ Marxist political philosophy; he guided Harris' political rise in California politics, leading to her election as California’s Attorney General.

Willie Brown, Jr. was a well-known long-time Communist sympathizer. Willie Brown, Jr. was initially elected to public office with the substantial help of the Communist Party USA. Today, Willie Brown is widely regarded as one of the Chinese Communist Party’s best friends in the San Francisco Bay Area.

While serving as San Francisco District Attorney, Kamala Harris mentored a young San Francisco Radical Maoist activist, Lateefah Simon, who was a member of the STORM Revolutionary Movement; Simon currently chairs the Bay Area Rapid Transit (BART) Board. Simon has always been close friends with the founder of Black Lives Matter Marxist Domestic Terrorists, Alicia Garza, as well as STORM member and avowed Communist, Van Jones.

Harris has been openly and aggressively supporting Black Lives Matter Marxists; Kamala Harris is still closely associated with Maoist Lateefah Simon and Marxist Alicia Garza.

Kamala Harris’s sister Maya Harris was a student activist at Stanford University. She was a closely associated with Steve Phillips, one of the leading Marxist-Leninists on campus and a long-time affiliate with the League of Revolutionary Struggle, a pro-Chinese Communist group.

Phillips came out of the Left, and in college he studied Marx, Mao, and Lenin, and maintained close associations with fellow Communists. Phillips married into the multi billion dollar Sandler family of the Golden West Savings and Loan fortune. He funded many leftist political campaigns, and the voter registration drives in the Southern and South Western states in order to help his friend, Barack Hussein Obama, defeat Hillary Clinton. Phillips has been a major financial sponsor for Kamala Harris’s political campaigns for various California elective offices.

Harris' husband, Doug Emhoff works for the law firm DLA Piper, which “boasts nearly 30 years of experience in Communist China with over 140 lawyers dedicated to its ‘Communist China Investment Services’ branch. He was just appointed to Professor at Yale to school future lawyers in the fine points of Communism.

When she was elected to the US Senate, Kamala Harris appointed a Pro-Communist Senate Chief of Staff, Karine Jean-Pierre. Jean-Pierre was active with the New York-based Haiti Support Network. The organization worked closely with the pro-Communist China/Communist North Korea Workers World Party and supported Jean-Bertrand Aristide, the far-left Communist former president of Haiti and the radical Lavalas movement.

Fortunately for Harris, but potentially disastrous for the Republic, elected office holders are not subject to the security clearance process. If the FBI did a Background Investigation on Kamala Harris, she never would have passed, because of her 40-year close ties with Marxists, Communists, Maoists, and Communist China. Harris would never have been approved for acceptance to any of the 5 Military Service Academies, been appointed to a US Government Sub-Cabinet position, or would have been approved to fill a sensitive position for a high security defense contractor. Yet, since Joe Biden was elected, Harris could be a heartbeat away from being President.

The US constitutional Republic is being threatened by the People’s Republic of Communist China (PPC) externally, and by of their very active espionage operations within the United States. The People’s Republic of Communist China (PPC), with 1.4 billion people, is governed by the 90 million member Chinese Communist Party (CCP), that has been working with Russia to destroy the US Constitutional Republic for over 70 years.

The CCP operates a massive global intelligence network through its Ministry of State Security. The CCP operates a vast intelligence network in the U.S as well. It is made up, not merely of intelligence operatives working for the Ministry of State Security, but it is also made up of a myriad of business and industry officials, Chinese scholar associations, and 370,000 Chinese students currently attending American universities. It also operates the Confucius Institute indoctrination and intelligence gathering centers in the US on 67 University campuses and in seventeen K-12 Public School Districts. The Confucius Centers are staffed by Communist Chinese intelligence operatives. Refer to this.

Kamala Harris is now involved with the Biden Family Business, and is supporting Joe Biden, who has worked closely with Communist China for 12 years. Joe’s son, Hunter Biden, is the point of contact for developing the off-shore Biden Family Businesses in Ukraine, Russia, Communist China, Iraq, Iran, etc. Hunter was provided with a $5 million non-recourse loan for the Biden Family Business to form a partnership with the PPC; that loan was subsequently forgiven by Communist China for one dollar.

Hunter Biden was given $1.5 billion for the Biden Family Business, to strategically purchase interests in companies in the US Military Industrial Complex, whose technologies would enhance and improve Communist China’s defense industry. Hunter Biden was also instructed to try to take control of US companies involved in sourcing rare earth minerals in the United States. Hunter also received $3.5 Million from the wife of the Mayor of Moscow for some carefully hidden reason.

The Peoples Republic of Communist China has a military of two million men, including the world’s largest Navy. The United States does not have enough ships and munitions to defeat China’s Navy, absent the use of nuclear weapons. There is a famous book, Unrestricted Warfare, written in 1999 by two People’s Liberation Army colonels. It argues that war between the PRC and the U.S. is inevitable, and that when it occurs China must be prepared to use whatever means are necessary to achieve victory Refer to this.

If the American voters read the background information (in Trevor Loudon’s article) on Kamala Harris, they would never support her election as Vice President of the United States. Joe Biden is suffering from the early onset of dementia and will continue to decline in cerebral awareness; he will never be able to fill out a four-year term of office. Since Biden was elected, the Socialists, Marxists, and Communist who control Kamala Harris, are planning to enact provisions of the 25th Amendment, in order to remove Joe Biden from office, so Harris can become the first Communist President of the United States.

Since Biden was elected, because Biden would not be up to it, Kamala Harris would lead the effort to appoint very dangerous anti-American Leftist, Communist, Socialists, and Marxists to fill highly sensitive positions in the Washington Deep State Bureaucracy. She would fill all appointive positions in the US Intelligence Agencies, in the Department of Homeland Security, in the Department of Defense, in The Justice Department, the Department of State, the FBI, the CIA, most cabinet positions, the National Security Council, and in the White House Staff.

American voters must be alert their fellow Americans that Kamala Harris is a very serious National Security threat to the very survival of the US Constitutional Republic; she has been a fellow traveler of Marxists, Communists, Maoists, Socialists, Progressives, and Chinese Communists for over 35 years.

President Trump had much more background information on Kamala Harris than we presented here, and he was correct, when he accused Kamala Harris of being a Communist subverter.

TAISEZ-VOUS, ASSASSIN,

Jusques à quand, cesserez vous de vous moquer de l'intelligence humaine.

Ce soir, dans la nuit du 30 septembre 1991,j'ai vu arriver à la section politique du Pénitencier National vos sbires chargés de la sale besogne, celle d'exécuter le Dr Roger Lafontant, mon héros et mon ami. J'étais dans la cellule alternante. J'ai entendu les coups de feu, et j'ai entendu mon héros s'écrier: vous êtes des lâches!!!

Le caporal Leus Sincère obéissait aux ordres du capitaine Stines Doura. Ce capitaine lui obéissait aux ordres de son président qui s'appelait Jean Bertrand Aristide.

TAISEZ-VOUS ASSASSIN!

Quatre ans plus tard, vous faisiez abattre une mère de famille, une avocate qui dénonçait le traître que vous êtes et qui avait accepté d'en appeler aux forces étrangères pour vous ramener, couvert de honte et dans le déshonneur,sur la terre de Dessalines et de Petion. Le Professeur LF Manigai devait vous cracher son mépris, car il n'existe dans l'histoire d'Haiti, aucune espèce qui vous ressemble.

TAISEZ-VOUS ASSASSIN!

En 2003, vous deviez à nouveau semer le deuil parmi l'intelligentsia haïtienne. Assoiffé de pouvoir et de sang, le fauve que vous êtes, s'en prenait à J L Dominique pour l'écarter de la course présidentiell e. Les faits parlent d'eux mêmes. Aux funérailles de JLD, vous respiriez le crime et le sang. Vous étiez mal dans votre peau, et René Préval vous observait du coin de l'œil.

TAISEZ-VOUS ASSASSIN!

Je continue à me demander s'il vous arrive de dormir la nuit. La jeune et courageuse policière, Christine Jeune, que vous aviez immolée comme sur le bûcher d'Abraham doit certainement vous demander des comptes, o suppôt de Satan. Vous vous souvenez de ce bébé que vous aviez broyé dans un pilon, en présence de ces enfants maudits du parti Lavalas? Or vous même avez une famille et une femme. Vous arrive t il de regarder vis proches dans les yeux?

TAISEZ-VOUS, ASSASSIN

Aristide, la liste est longue de ces veuves et de ces orphelins dont le sang aboutit à Ta barre et à Port Salut. Vous êtes là plaie et l'Antéchrist D'HAITI. Michel Gonzalez, Claude Raymond, Me Gabriel Ancion, le colonel Cadeau, tant d'autres et tant d'autres...vos victimes haïtiennes restent innombrables comme la fleur des champs. Le sang versé finira par vous rattraper, car La revanche même divine marche à petits pas, mais elle marche quand même.

TAISEZ-VOUS ASSASSIN,

Ton heure viendra!!!

Was ist dran an den Vorwürfen gegen die heilige Mutter Teresa?:

<img src="https://de.catholicnewsagency.com/image/santateresa1980_losservatore_romano_060916_1473241433.jpg/640" style="margin: 10px 0">Die heilige Mutter Teresa wurde "Botin der Liebe Christi", genannt. 1979 erhielt sie den Friedensnobelpreis. Nun wurde sie, am 4. September 2016, von Papst Franziskus im Vatikan heilig gesprochen. Trotzdem haben seit einigen Jahrzehnten Kritiker, darunter der bekannte Atheist Christopher Hitchens, versucht, ihren Namen in den Dreck zu ziehen. Und das ohne jeglichen stichhaltigen Beweis – so der Experte William Doino, der unter anderem Mitarbeiter beim Magazin "Inside the Vatican", ist, und in der renommierten Publikation "First Things", dazu geschrieben hat. Doino antwortet auf die schweren – und, wie er betont, falschen – Vorwürfe gegen die beliebte Heilige. Im Jahr 1910 geboren, als Agnes Bojaxhiu im heutigen Mazedonien, erhielt die heilige Teresa erst relativ spät in ihrem Leben die Aufmerksamkeit der Öffentlichkeit – aber als sie sie erhielt, war ihre Wirkung enorm. 1969 machte Malcom Muggeridge einen Dokumentarfilm der BBC über sie - Something Beautiful for God (Etwas Schönes für Gott) - und veröffentlichte später ein gleichnamiges Buch, das zu einem Klassiker wurde. Die Dokumentation berührte die Menschen tief und inspirierte eine neue Generation aktiver Christen; viele Frauen entschieden sich, sich den von Mutter Teresa gegründeten Missionarinnen der Nächstenliebe anzuschließen, um den Ärmsten der Armen zu dienen. In den 1990ern dann schlug der Schriftsteller und Journalist Christopher Hitchens zu: Er griff Mutter Teresa mit dem Dokumentarfilm Hell’s Angel ("Engel der Hölle") und dem Buch The Missionary Position ("Die Missionarsstellung") aggressiv an. Was in dem Dokumentarfilm Hell’s Angel am meisten hervorsticht, ist, dass er behauptet, er würde die Armen gegen die angebliche Ausbeutung durch Mutter Teresa verteidigen. Doch Hitchens interviewte keine einzige Person, die von den Missionarinnen der Nächstenliebe betreut worden wäre. Statt dessen verurteilte er die Heilige aus der Ferne. Hitchens vermied auch die Personen, die im Mittelpunkt des Dienstes von Mutter Teresa standen, und richtete die Kamera und den Angriff auf die Ordensfrau, indem er Argumente ad hominem in Stellung brachte – oder gleich Anklagen ohne jegliche Grundlage präsentierte. Hitchens nannte auch Muggeridge, einen der anerkanntesten Journalisten des 20. Jahrhunderts, einen "alten Betrüger und Scharlatan", und machte sich über seine religiösen Überzeugungen lustig; Mutter Teresa bezeichnete er sogar als eine "angebliche Jungfrau". Mutter Teresa wurde beschuldigt, sich mit Politikern und Geschäftsleuten schlechten Rufs getroffen zu haben, um den Armen zu helfen. Dabei nutzt Hitchens seine Dokumentation auch, um Jean-Bertrand Aristide zu fördern, einen bekannten ehemaligen Priester und Sprecher der marxistischen Befreiungstheologie, dessen Wirken als Präsident Haitis von Korruption und Missbrauch geprägt war. Über die Reisen Mutter Teresas ins Ausland sagte Hitchens, dass sie "die Betrübten getröstet haben kann oder auch nicht, aber sicher war sie nie dafür bekannt, die Wohlhabenden anzuklagen"; die Dokumentation selbst hingegen zeigt sie freilich dabei, die Abtreibung anzuprangern. In ihrer Rede beim Empfang des Nobelpreises 1979 sagte Mutter Teresa, dass "der größte Zerstörer des Friedens heute der Schrei des unschuldigen ungeborenen Kindes ist". Ein "Bericht" dreier Kanadier Eine weitere Anklage gegen Mutter Teresa besteht in einem 27-seitigen "Bericht", der drei Akademiker Serge Larivee, Genevieve Chenard und Carole Senechal, die 2013 Mother Teresa: Anything but a Saint ("Mutter Teresa: Alles außer einer Heiligen") veröffentlichten, in welchem sie eine Reihe angeblicher "Probleme", in Stellung brachten, die vom Vatikan im Seligsprechungsprozess nicht berücksichtigt worden seien. Wie sich herausstellte, waren die meisten Vorwürfe jedoch ungeprüft von Hitchens übernommen worden. Worum es ging: Einige davon betrafen die "zweifelhafte", Art, die Kranken in erbärmlichen Aufnahmezentren zu pflegen, während sie selbst eine bessere Pflege erhielte; schlechte Verwaltung von Spendengeldern und ihren "Fanatismus, der sie die Armut mehr als die Armen lieben liess". Wie diese Behauptungen zustande kamen, und was dahinter steckte, das prüfte schließlich William Doino selber nach. Er suchte Personen auf, die Mutter Teresa gut kannten, um sie zu diesen Vorwürfen zu befragen. Jede von ihnen gab an, dass Mutter Teresa von den drei kanadischen Forschern auf nicht wiederzuerkennende Weise dargestellt worden war. Und um dies zu beweisen, antworteten sie Punkt für Punkt auf die Anklagen. Das "mächtigste", Zeugnis ist, laut Doino, jenes von Susan Conroy, die 1986 als freiwillige Helferin mit Mutter Teresa in Kalkutta arbeitete und das Buch Mother Teresa’s Lessons of Love and Secrets of Sanctity ("Mutter Teresas Lektionen der Liebe und Geheimnisse der Heiligkeit") schrieb. "Als ich die Kritiken über die Betreuung der Patienten las, die in den Sterbehäusern aufgenommen wurden, dachte ich erneut an meine persönlichen Erfahrungen dort... Ich weiß, mit welcher Zärtlichkeit und Aufmerksamkeit sie für jeden der bedürftigen Patienten sorgte. Die Art und Weise, wie sie sie wusch, ihr Bett reinigte, ihnen zu Essen oder Medizin gab". Der Ort, erläutert Conroy, "wurde gründlich und regelmäßig von oben bis unten saubergemacht und jeder Patient wurde so oft es nötig war gewaschen, auch mehrmals am Tag." Pater Peter Gumpel, ein Mitglied der Kongregation für die Selig- und Heiligsprechunsprozesse im Vatikan, hat seinerseits gesagt, dass "Fehler gemacht wurden, auch in den modernsten medizinischen Einrichtungen". "Aber jedes Mal, wenn eine Korrektur nötig war, zeigten sich Mutter Teresa und die Missionarinnen aufmerksam und offen für eine konstruktive Änderung und Verbesserung.", "Was viele nicht verstehen, ist die verzweifelte Situation, in der Mutter Teresa ständig lebte und dass ihr besonderes Charisma nicht war, Krankenhäuser zu gründen, sondern jene zu retten, die keine Überlebenschancen hatten und sonst auf der Straße gestorben wären.", Das Geld Was die Anklage gegen Mutter Teresa betrifft, sie hätte die Spenden schlecht oder betrügerisch verwaltet, erklärte Pater Gumpel, die Heilige habe "enorme Summen an Geld", für die Armen gesammelt und ausgegeben; sie gab aber auch den Heiligen Stuhl, der es seinerseits an katholische Krankenhäuser und Werke der Nächstenliebe verteilte. Pater Leo Maasburg, ein österreichischer Priester, der ein persönlicher Freund von Mutter Teresa und ihr geistlicher Berater war und ein Buch über sie geschrieben hat, gibt an, dass die Ordensfrau trotz der Reisen - die einzig und allein dazu dienten, ihre Aktivitäten der Nächstenliebe zu verbreiten - ein sehr bescheidenes Leben in Kalkutta führte. Er legte besonderen Wert darauf, dass sie nie besondere Gefälligkeiten oder medizinische Versorgung erbeten hatte, was andere Personen, die in ihrer Nähe waren, bestätigt haben - darunter die Ärzte, die sie während ihrer letzten Krankheit betreut hatten. Pater Leo Maasburg versicherte auch, dass die Idee, Mutter Teresa hätte die Armut anstatt der Armen geliebt, eine "diabolische Verdrehung", ihrer echten Überzeugungen - "den Armen zu helfen und ihr Leid, so gut es nur irgend geht, zu lindern", - sei. Der "Fanatismus", Mutter Teresas, auf den sich ihre Verleumder beziehen, ist letztendlich die Form, in der sie die Werte des Christentums auf heroische Weise lebte. Sie war katholisch, und lebte dementsprechen ihren Glauben. William Doino nahm schlussendlich Kontakt mit den Verfassern des Berichtes auf und konnte ein Interview mit Dr. Genevieve Chenard führen: "Sie bestätigte mir, dass ihr Team nicht mit einem einzigen Patienten, medizinischen Experten, Mitglied oder Mitarbeiter von Mutter Teresa gesprochen habe, bevor der Bericht gegen die Heilige geschrieben wurde". "Es wurde auch nicht untersucht, wie ihre finanziellen Mittel ausgegeben wurden; ebenso sprachen sie mit niemandem im Vatikan, der mit ihrer Seligsprechung zu tun hatte und konsultierten auch niemanden aus der Kommission der Ärzte, die das Wunder zertifizierten, das mit ihrer Seligsprechung verbunden ist.", Die Forscher, so Doino, "fuhren nicht einmal nach Kalkutta, während sogar Hitchens, der falsch lag, zumindest das tat." William Doino bezeichnete die Arbeit der drei Forscher als eine "Untersuchung von Literatur", als eine "Neuverpackung dessen, was andere geschrieben hatten". Darunter Hitchens, Hemley González oder der Arzt Aroup Chatterjee. "Es war, mit anderen Worten, eine Anklage, die auf keinerlei echter Recherche gründet; und der am meisten zitierte Autor war Christopher Hitchens. Und doch wurden diese ‘Enthüllungen’ zu internationalen Schlagzeilen und von vielen ohne Einwände angenommen", schloss der Experte. Aus dem Spanischen übersetzt von Susanne Finner.

Sent to Haiti to keep the peace, departing UN troops leave a damaged nation in their wake

http://bit.ly/2z4fo4p

youtube

On Oct. 15, 2017, the United Nations will withdraw its peacekeeping troops from Haiti, ending its 13-year mission there.

One might expect mixed feelings about the soldiers’ departure. After all, since the arrival of the U.N. Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH) in June 2004, after former President Jean-Bertrande Aristide was forced out by a coup, the island has seen neither war nor armed conflict.

Crime and violence levels also remain high in Haiti, particularly in the capital of Port-au-Prince, and until January 2017 the country was leaderless due to repeated delays in holding its presidential election. Haiti is also still recovering from Hurricane Matthew, which caused famine in some hard-hit areas in 2016.

Despite these challenges, reports from the island suggest that most Haitians are ready to see the mission depart. That’s because, beyond stabilizing the country during a period of political tumult, the U.N.‘s troops have also done harm in Haiti.

The international organization has admitted that its peacekeepers introduced cholera to the island after the devastating 2010 earthquake and sexually abused women who lived near U.N. camps.

What it has not yet acknowledged is that during early efforts to take out gangs in crime-riddled neighborhoods, U.N. troops also unintentionally killed more than 25 of the same citizens they were deployed to protect.

Keeping the peace?

This lethal violence, which has garnered little international press, is the subject of our new film, “It Stays With You: Use of Force by U.N. Peacekeepers in Haiti,” a 50-minute documentary released in Port-au-Prince in June 2017 and set for its U.S. release on Oct. 30.

Between 2004 and 2007, MINUSTAH carried out at least 15 heavily militarized operations against criminal gangs living in Cité Soleil, a seaside shantytown of 300,000 to 400,000 people. In these crowded neighborhoods, where most homes are made of scavenged sheets of corrugated metal and other scrap materials, the U.N. troops battled local organized crime groups using heavy weaponry, including automatic rifles and grenades.

During Operation Iron First, for example, which took place in the Bois Neuf section of Cité Soleil on July 6, 2005, the U.N. reports that it used 22,700 bullets, 78 grenades and five mortars and killed seven gang members.

But, according to some residents interviewed in “It Stays with You,” unarmed civilians also died in this raid. Douglas Griffiths, then deputy U.S. ambassador to Haiti, has also confirmed that “credible sources” have accused U.N. peacekeepers of killing “more than 20 women and children” in the operation.

Some were shot inside their homes by U.N. soldiers in helicopters, whose bullets easily penetrated their metal rooftops. These accounts have been substantiated by witnesses and international aid workers interviewed for our film, including by one American doctor who saw bullet holes in the roof of a home that he visited while treating a young girl for gunshot wounds.

Other Cité Soleil residents were killed by machine gun fire by U.N. troops from armored personnel carriers, shooting from guns mounted on the vehicles’ roofs. Witnesses state that during Operation Iron Fist, sustained firing over several hours destroyed entire homes, killing some of the people inside them.

In 2005, Jean-Marie Guehenno, who was then the U.N.‘s undersecretary general for peacekeeping, essentially confirmed these reports. At a press briefing at the U.N. headquarters in New York, he said, “A number of operations have been conducted by MINUSTAH… I have to be honest with you, there may have been some civilian casualties.”

The following December, just before Christmas in 2006, the U.N.’s Operation New Forest went through some 10,000 bullets over two days. Numerous people with no connection to gangs, including children, were killed or injured in this raid.

The exact number is unclear, however, since the U.N. has carried out no investigations involving a visit to the neighborhood into this raid or others in Cité Soleil. The Haitian police have conducted no investigations, either.

No accountability

These accusations are not the first to damage the reputation of the U.N.’s vast peacekeeping operation, which currently has soldiers stationed in 15 countries around the world. Rape and other forms of sexual abuse are an endemic problem in multiple missions.

Even so, MINUSTAH has a bad record. In Haiti, 134 Sri Lankan soldiers set up a child sex ring, exploiting boys and girls as young as 12 years of age. There is little accountability for such violations. The Sri Lankan troops were sent home, but none have been jailed; the U.N. was criticized for its inadequate response. It also took five years for the U.N. leadership to take responsibility for the cholera epidemic.

It is not surprising, then, that the international organization’s response to the killings in Cité Soleil has been lackluster. The end of the Haiti mission this month offers an opportunity for an independent investigation into the unintended harms of U.N. operations in Cité Soleil, particularly in Bois Neuf.

Based on our on-the-ground research, we believe a full accounting would find that the repeated military raids not only killed innocent bystanders but also exacerbated the precariousness of residents’ already marginal existence. Poor families lost their breadwinners; homes were destroyed; children were made orphans and had to be taken in by neighbors.

After a pot-maker, Nelson Ti Lari, was inadvertently killed in his workshop in 2005, his wife, Veronique, told us that she repeatedly visited the U.N. base at Camp Delta with a photograph of her dead husband, seeking acknowledgment that the breadwinner of her family had been killed. But, she says, the staff there sent her away every time. Eventually, she gave up.

Failing U.N. support – such as medical assistance to those injured in raids or financial support to people who lost their homes or livelihoods in the crossfire – people were compelled to seek help from the cohort of international NGOs that have provided the bulk of citizen services in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake.

There is a growing body of international literature, including research by Dr. Ilionor Louis, co-author of this article, demonstrating that such forced dependency is itself a form of indirect violence. And in a country like Haiti, where post-disaster aid is big business and oversight of NGOs is almost nil, this will be another lasting legacy of the U.N. mission.

In making our documentary, we found that Cité Soleil residents aren’t just sad for their losses – they’re also angry that the U.N. hasn’t taken responsibility for its actions. MINUSTAH may be pulling out of Haiti on Oct. 15, but the the agency’s misdeeds will live on in Cité Soleil long after the last peacekeeper departs.

The film “It Stays With You: Use of Force by UN Peacekeepers in Haiti” is available for streaming (password Haiti17).
