Radio BC: Uncle Sam’s Haiti Thugocracy

There can be no more heroic people on the globe than the citizens of Haiti, who have once again made known their choice for president. He is Rene Preval, the man who served as prime minister in Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s first government in 1990, which was cut short by a U.S.-backed military coup, who went into exile with Aristide until 1994, and who served as a presidential surrogate for Aristide from 1996 to 2001. It is perfectly obvious that, for an absolute majority of Haitians, a vote for Rene Preval was a vote for Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who was kidnapped by the United States and sent into exile in 2004. The thugs installed by the U.S. then proceeded to murder as many as ten thousand Haitians in an effort to wipe out Aristide’s grassroots organization. Canada and France acted as Uncle Sam’s junior partners in the theft of Haiti’s national sovereignty, and enlisted the shameful assistance of the United Nations in the profoundly anti-democratic project. Brazil became complicit in the subjugation of the Haitian people, its so-called peacekeepers acting as muscle for the assassins masquerading as a government.
