TST 5/2/23 - Sit for Haiti Stand for Ukraine

The United States government (i.e. intelligence agencies) have overthrown countless democratically elected leaders throughout the past century. From Iran (1953), Guatemala (1954), Congo (1960), and the Dominican Republic (1961), to South Vietnam (1963), Brazil (1964), Chile (1973). The left used to scream about the injustice, until they found their own country to meddle with in Ukraine. Meanwhile, in 2021, the popular president of Haiti, Jovenel Moise, was assassinated, and the wildly unpopular and unelected Ariel Henry was installed by the Biden administration with no vote. Promise of a democratic election was given but that has yet to happen. Ariel Henry has also been in contact, based on phone records, with the assassins, one of which has made a deal with U.S. prosecutors in March. After the assassination, Haiti erupted in civil unrest, and 15,000 people were deported or fled to the US-Mexico border where the White House, Homeland Security, and media said they would spread disease. Making the President look bad was unacceptable, and so these refugees were packed onto planes and flown back the deteriorating country. Haiti is now suffering from lack of hospitals, water, essential services, and basic law and order. Civil unrest has essentially created a civil war and the country now has more crime Somalia. Police are useless, mobs and gangs run the streets and capital, Port-au-Prince, and inflation has devastated the country further. Fuel, food, medicine, etc., are scarce. One may wonder why little help is offered and why there is virtually no news coverage? Perhaps for the following reasons: (1) In 2010, after a natural disaster, the people of Haiti resisted donations of seeds from biotech company Monsanto, one group citing them as a “very strong attack on small agriculture, on farmers, on biodiversity…” (2) With empty promises of democrat elections, and knowing their government was overthrown by the U.S., Daniel L. Foote, U.S. Special Envoy for Haiti and former Ambassador, said “even if elections did come, Henry is so unpopular that the vast majority of Haitians say they wouldn’t vote or accept the results - not least because they believe the process would likely be rigged…” (3) Since violence is bad, Foote says “rapes, gun violence, kidnappings, lynching” are “hallmarks” of daily life - thus, the Haitian people have revolted against the violence with their own violence, executing gang members and criminals to restore order… (4) With refugees pouring into the United States, and cities like Boston are being overrun, the people from Haiti simply are requesting assistance and seeking to take the opportunities as Americans not afforded anymore in their home country.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/tst-radio--5328407/support.
