I have visited Haiti. Never have I met so many good, brave and beautiful people struggling against so many difficult problems. This episode reveals what many have known for years: Haiti has been undermined and attacked since it first gained it's freedom. The Haitians met President "all men are created equal" Jefferson and were turned away. We owe the Louisiana Purchase in many ways to the successful Haitian Revolution. France gave up on its hope of a "New" world empire and sold its North American holding to the US. Have we ever thanked the Haitians? No, but we did loan them money (US banks) to pay reparations to the French. Exploitation more than human rights.

[@rapidefiletax8554]

Thank u Andy for being objective and for speaking the truth and not propaganda about haitian people. The haitian people are the true exceptional peoples for their resiliency in struggling to survive beyond all obstacles placed in their path by former colonizers. We can still see it today, the unwavering efforts the masses are making in order to survive beyond imagination. Haiti is an agrarian state where 80% of its pop was employed in agriculture which produced 95% of its domestic consumption up to early 21st century under President Aristide. When a country produces majority of its domestic consumption, it paves the way to development, social and economic which was interrupted by US foreign policy begining in the 1978 with the eradication of the creole pigs that represented capital investments for the masses. It costs the US implemented by USAID $23 million to annihilate the creole pigs meanwhile that economic devastation wiped out $600 million from the Haitian economy that year. It is imperative to remember that the pigs were assets that would continue to grow with each porcine breeding every 6 months or twice a year. It is quite simple to figure out how much the economic destruction the US foreign policy inflicted upon the peasant farmers for years to come. A simple calculation of the $600 mil multiply by 44 years would amount to $26.4 and that is only a moderate calculation of one breeding a year not two which amount would double. The lost of the creole pigs set off a wave of migrants to the florida keys as many families were bankrupted and the govt was unable to provide any relief for the economic losses suffered by smallholder farmers. Today, Haiti still finds small merchants peddling the streets with any little trunkets or food crops they purchase for resell in order to make a living and not rely on handouts or govt assistance which doesnt exist. The predatory mafia class holding the economy hostage uses the govt as its first client where majority of their investments are purchased by the govt which leaves no budget for socio-economic programs, not education, not healthcare and no job creation. Haiti is a mafia state that the people must work to destroy these predators that are devastating the lives of the Haitian people. Its bad govt, its no govt at all to create the atmosphere to pillage and plunder the resources of the state. There are resource studies showing that Haiti has more oil than venezuela, hydrocarbons, copper, nickle, silver, gold, irridium and uranium, etc. These resources are said to be worth trillions of dollars. In fact Haiti is not poor, Haiti is poorly managed and its state is held captive by the predators in the atlantic.

[@curtisthomas2670]

Little known fact: Napoleon had a plan that after defeating the Haitians he would use it's battle hardened soldiers to help set up an empire in its Louisiana territory. That would've had the US facing the nightmare scenario of having armed and experienced black soldiers of an enemy nations sharing the sub continent and the prospect of their own slaves escaping across the border and joining up with the French/Haitian armies

Ignorance and lack of knowledge are fatal. The wise old saying that "my people perish because a lack of knowledge" has never been true as it is now. My mother is 71 years old born in 1951. She is the so called "American Christian" and have been indoctrinated to believe the lies of white American Christians that Haiti and Africa are punished by GOD due to their witchcraft and voodoo religions. Of course, growing up as a kid you believe what your parents or guardians repeat over and over again and/or tell you. But ever since I've researched, studied and learned the truth I can't tell you how angry it makes me. I found myself angry all the time. Knowledge is power but it also makes you angry, lol. How can you be an enemy to your parents? But Jesus said that the gospel will turn mother against daughter and son against father. Although, I avoid these topics when we get together but it is hard to ignore the feelings. I don't know about your upbringing, but I sense that this misleading information and miseducation has been the fabric of all Americans, but especially black Americans throughout history in the USA.

@sknmwms6516 True facts! There are a lot of Black people in this country who believe Obama can't do wrong, simply because he's Black and a Democrat. I'm certainly proud of his achievements, (At least on the surface, he may have been the worst President in my lifetime!) and he is a fine example for ANY man in this world, (In terms of his success). In reality, Obama was a Godless man who did more for homosexuality and abortion rights! However, the fact that the first Black president, never bothered to visit the first and only free Black nation in the western hemisphere, really told me what he was truly about. He visited practically every country in Europe, China, Japan, Iran, Arabia, India, Australia, Israel etc. But not my ancestor's homeland. It would have been helpful if the first Black President confronted the French Government in regards to the billions in reparations that we were forced into paying under the threat of sanctions, embargoes, and more war (The United States was also willing to support these devils to fortify white supremacy), because we fought and killed as men, and freed ourselves from the scourge of slavery! These billions that we have been paying would ild our nation, but it wasn't important to him obviously. His former underboss Biden, has rolled out the red carpet for the Ukrainians, yet he treated the Haitian refugees like savages and returned them to a very destitute situation. Yet, most Black American people believe in everything Democrat. Oh yeah, and fuck dem Republicans as well!

History does repeat it self. Keys to understanding modernity lie in historical fact. Beware of fake history creators though. Americans do not understand their own civil war, why would they care about Hati? But they should. Napoleon sold the Louisiana purchase to the US for funding to put down Hati's slave rebellion. Fast forward, Democracy Now, never discusses the role of the Castorol Corporation's destruction of Hati's rich farmlands. But does dance around the truth that the NWO in 1871, replaced traditional slavery with debt servitude. Traditional slavery required feeding, clothing, and housing of slaves, in national debt servitude, none of this required, and in default real property is gained. There is no gain at the end of a slaves life for the investment. However, global depopulation is easy when all real property and assets are seized in debt default. ALL WARS ARE BANKERS WARS

[@denisesalt9729]

When I studied America's role in making sure that Haiti did not succeed it made me angry. They were so afraid that Haiti success after overthrowing their colonizers would reach American enslaved and cause the same uprising in the south that they help put their foot on Haiti's neck by not doing business with them. Basically every country did the same to teach them a lesson and just caused hundreds of years of chaos. Very sad. Even more disgusting to have America and France boasting about their coup.
