I was an active member of United for Peace, and attended several Moveon meetings (George Soros org) in the NYC area. I helped organize antiwar rallies in NYC and DC, and was pretty much all over the place. <br /><br />I thought I found my calling. They did the right things and the rhetoric was right. Once the Democrats gained power, the so-called antiwar movement disappeared, simply because it never existed. <br /><br />I've discussed this with Cindy Sheehan who I've met and talked with several times. She, as a person who lost a son in the occupation was exploited by the same George Soros funded groups like Moveon and other phony establishment Liberals from elsewhere. <br /><br /><br /><br />Check this out:<br />“In hindsight, she was a very good liar. Not only did she become a regular activist in the movement, she actually became a leader. She was speaking at rallies, speaking at educational programs about U.S. support for the Israeli occupation of Palestinian lands. She was speaking at programs about the U.S. funding for the brutal military and the brutal regime of Colombia, and she even facilitated workshops at the protests and conferences at the School of the Americas and at the U.S. Social Forum,” Mr. Iosbaker said.<br />http://newamericamedia.org/2011/01/angry-activists-condemn-fbi-infiltration-of-peace-movement.php<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />I don't have the answers, and I can only speculate, but despite the rhetoric and talking points from M.W, his funding sources(80 percent from Rockefellers, Soros, and other enemies of Haiti and humanity as a whole ) make me wonder...The truth is he ain't saying anything we don't already know. <br /><br />So many infiltrators...False prophets looking to hijack organic movements. They all come as wolves in sheep's clothing. "Journalists" and media hackers hacking the movement. And that includes Haitians and non-Haitians alike (Wyclef, for example). <br /><br />Their plan for Haiti is essential in bringing about the New World Order that Bush Sr. talked about in the early 90s. They practically got every country in the region for the exception of Haiti, so, in my opinion, the Haiti liberation movement must be infiltrated with phony journalists, fake activists, and other "fiends of Haiti." <br /><br />I spoke to my uncle in Florida this morning who was a Depite during Aristide's first term. He, like me, thinks the fact that this (s)election went "smoothly" is a blow to the future and sovereignty of Haiti. They got their puppets. <br /><br />See war on top of war, and no one stands up because there is no leadership...Soros and his ilk done infiltrated them all. <br /><br />Sorry, I'm not trying to get on your nerves or pollute your comment section. Just wanna share my viewpoint :-)Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877601205810403622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963634147818607625.post-67678142149330041652011-03-20T23:22:40.166-04:002011-03-20T23:22:40.166-04:00From the CERP LIVE BLOG of Aristide Returns to Hai...From the CERP LIVE BLOG of <a href="http://www.cepr.net/index.php/blogs/relief-and-reconstruction-watch/live-blog-aristide-returns-to-haiti" rel="nofollow">Aristide Returns to Haiti:</a><br /><br />QUOTE:<br />Satuday, Update 11:35 AM: Time to finally give the New York Times some credit. After downplaying the crowds yesterday, at first describing them as a "few dozen", and later "several hundred", in the most recent update from last night, the <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2011/03/19/world/americas/19haiti.html?_r=1&ref=americas" rel="nofollow">Times reports:</a><br /><br /> Thousands of people cheered, danced and blocked streets around the airport upon his arrival. Then they swarmed the grounds of his spacious home, climbing over walls to get on the property, scaling trees to get a look at him and massing on his porch to peer into windows — once the thick crowd parted enough for him to get out of his car and make it inside. Several people swiped coconuts from his trees and cracked them open during an impromptu celebration under the fierce sun. <br /><br />The video that is linked to below (<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6fLDtx4WuTU" rel="nofollow">here</a>) provides a good sense of the atmosphere as Aristide arrives home.<br />UNQUOTEthezenhaitianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05899728807908673688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963634147818607625.post-68723838756561006222011-03-20T21:11:24.625-04:002011-03-20T21:11:24.625-04:00The New York Times..

I've gathered some pictures here on Facebook: (the haitian blogger: http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=278640472797&v=photos).<br /><br />I like Mark Weisbrot a lot. I quote him all the time. He's been so right on time about the OAS submitting "arbitrary" numbers that reflect the candidates favored by the "internationals." I was especially impressed by this interview (video):<br /><br />"Haiti is a failed state because the United States has repeatedly destroyed the state." --Mark Weisbrot (CEPR)<br />http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=278640472797&v=photos#!/video/video.php?v=1659868574034<br /><br />It's an Aljazeera video called, "Feb 2011 - Haiti's Shaky Democracy - Riz Khan (AlJazeera) [HQ]"thezenhaitianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05899728807908673688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963634147818607625.post-49307324939703210422011-03-20T20:31:14.407-04:002011-03-20T20:31:14.407-04:00Did you notice how the media attempted to downplay...Did you notice how the media attempted to downplay his arrival, including the countless amount of folks who awaited him? The New York Times claimed only a few hundreds and possibly a thousand....<br /><br />My mother who was glued to CNN was disappointed but not surprised by the fact that they only showed him coming out of the private jet and then making a speech. <br /><br />She had to tune to Haitian radio to witness the significance of his arrival. <br /><br /><br />Haitians in Haiti and the diaspora need to reconnect and reunite for Haiti. Call me cynical, but too many new and emerging friends of Haiti with dubious backgrounds. For example, CERP co-director is practically owned by the same folks who want to re-colonize Haiti, including George Soros and and his Open Society Fund. <br /><br />These days they work behind the veil of philanthropy / charity / aid / funds / centers, and the list goes on. <br /><br /><br />"In our rich country, where the sun shines every day, I assure you that if we have water, we will grow the food we need to eat." <br /><br />This could be said for the movement itself. It grows and grows no matter how they try and destroy it. But I think now Fanmi Lavalas needs to revamp itself and gain a more omnipresent role in Haitian society, and perhaps, I say perhaps, move a little farther away from politics and more into social causes...more than it is now.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17877601205810403622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5963634147818607625.post-49355598037526501832011-03-20T19:32:36.689-04:002011-03-20T19:32:36.689-04:00Even before the catastrophic earthquake of Jan. 12...Even before the catastrophic earthquake of Jan. 12, 2010, desperately poor Haitians lived in an apartheid state of "literate/illiterate, rich/poor, black/white, male/female, those who have clean water to drink/those who don’t."<br /><br />This is a very moving article from a man with a powerful understanding of Haiti and it's people that explains the divides.<br /><br /><a href="http://www.religion-online.org/showarticle.asp?title=1952" rel="nofollow">The Water of Life</a><br />by Jean-Bertrand Aristide<br /><br />"The economically powerful are not protecting the land, the trees, the soil or the people who have existed on this land for generations. Can we expect that aid programs will help our environment or our people who depend on the land? If 84 cents of every dollar is going back to the donor country, how much is left for water for the peasants? Or for trees to hold the water and the soil? The question is dramatic. What will we do to have water?<br /><br />We are at the millennium and there is still no water for the people to drink -- let alone water for the land. Sometimes foreigners think we are lazy, asking for food, asking for handouts. But in fact we are asking for water.
