Haiti: No Natural Disaster
Haiti’s devastating
earthquake has made Port-au-Prince a hell-hole of human misery with some 200,000
dead and three million displaced, many seriously injured or orphaned, facing disease,
amputations, hunger and dehydration. Everyone can see that practical help needs
to pour into Port-au Prince. But we also owe it to the Haitian people to
understand how and why it became such a human catastrophe.
Haiti: The humanitarian myth
Radio Statement in Creole being broadcast by U.S air force over Haiti blasting the advice of the State Department's Raymond Joseph to the starving people - "I'll be honest with you," Joseph says, according to a transcript on the State Department's Web site. "If you think you will reach the U.S. and all the doors will be wide open to you, that's not at all the case. And they will intercept you right on the water, and send you back home where you came from."
While 10,000 US troops occupy the country and their Navy patrols the waters.
With U.S. forces obstructing aid and beefing up "security" while Haitians die, no one should accept that the U.S. is motivated by "humanitarianism."
