En terme de nombre de croyants, le Christianisme est la 4eme religion du monde, donc religion minoritaire.

DE LA CARTE GEOGRAPHIQUE - Provenance des Haitiens est la zone frontaliere Benin-Nigeria.
Zone Yoruba, Igbo et Ewé.
TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE est fils de Gaou Ginou, Chef du groupe ethique de la zone et ville ALLADA, au Nord de la ville de Ouidah, comme Damballah-Ouidah.
A droite voir la ville de Badagri, comme dans Ogun-Badagri. La riviere Ogun traverse Lagos, ex Capitale du Nigeria.
La religion Yoruba est basée a Ifé, comme la zone Vodouisante en Haiti.
Les Igbos nous ont donné Ibo-Lele, Ayaman Ibo Lele. Les Igbo-Elele sont des Juifs érrants émigrés en terre Igbo.
Les racines Haitiennes sont celles de Juifs érrants, donc la nation Haitienne est toujours érrante dans le desert!

I believe you are on the wrong side of history. In every society there is always an appeal process following a decision. Your spin of what took place in Haiti is a leap of faith. As far as I am concern you are admitting the inability of the other side to gain the confidence of the peopleand their inability to organize and get the vote. As long as your people continue with the blame game, they will always be on the outside looking in. There is a certain set of skills you must acquire to win elections. I suggest your people learn those skills and stop the belly aching about the road is clear for the Lavalas party to win the election.
In my opinion, the reason you can not win elections is you don't relate to the people, you don't respect the people and you don't think the people can choose for themselves. With that better than thou attitude, its no wonder you can't win elections.
I can not speak for the people you mentioned because there is not much to say except that the process played itself out. I was of the opinion that the CEP arrived at a decision and the decision was final pending an appeal process. In this case the CEP showed its wisdom by extending the dead line=2 0so certain corrections can be made; otherwise the aggrieved party would call on their right to appeal and come to the same decision. I believe it was Attorney Laurent who made that suggestion. There isn't much more to say except encourage your people to get their act together so they can successfully contest elections.

I believe that Lavalasse has a right to exist, to field candidates, just like any other party. Egal egaux.
1) The rules were: All parties submit candidates by X time, and can appeal by Feb 13th 5PM.
Because of internal stife caused by a devious Aristide playing his people in Haiti against each other, 2 Lavalasse parties submitted 2 sets of candidates. Narcisse had a bad mandate naming her chief of party. It was not notarized as required of me when I send legal papers to Haiti. Protested by lawyer of lavalsse2 party.
lavalasse2 was also in constant contact with Aristide, and believed it was the sole party as told to them by Titid. No one understands that Titid is in constant contact with all lavalasse actors. He caused this mess so he can retain control of both sides of Lavalasse. Aristide understand very well how to divide and conquer.
2) The CEP correctly rejected both sets of lavalasse candidates. Only 1 set allowed per party. both sets could not meet the friday 5PM dealine. As Zili said, Lavalasse was not on any kind of legal status. They were dead for 2009.
3) Samderson visits CEP, orders are given. She is paying 75% of the costs, so she orders an illegality: Re-open the books for another 72 hours so lavalasse can get is stuff together. That is illegal favoritism that lavalasse is so against when it is done against them. For them is OK. Against them is bad. That is colonial blanc orders that they accuse the Latortue Governement of receiving, yet they are doing worse! James, define colonialism?
4) if the offending party had been x, would the CEP have re-opened its books past the published deadline? Is Haiti a sovereign state as CEP has just declared 24 hours before? Or is Haiti and lavalasse a bunch of colonial tchouls of the blancs? What is lavalasse fighting for? Blanc rulers or independence?
5) The "certain set of skills required to win elections" is practiced by all politicians worldwide. It is called LYING to the people. Aristide does it very very well. he has fooled you all these years. On this side of the fence, we know about lying from years of practice, and have stopped lying to the people so we can build, not pillage, burn, steal, and traffic drugs.
6) The only belly that is aching is the klorox hunger of the Haitian people who followed Aristide. Not me.
Good luck with that guy!

Former Guantanomo guard recalls abuse, climate of fear
By MIKE MELIA, Associated Press Writer Mike Melia, Associated Press Writer
SAN JUAN, Puerto Rico – Army Pvt. Brandon Neely was scared when he took Guantanamo's first shackled detainees off a bus. Told to expect vicious terrorists, he grabbed a trembling, elderly detainee and ground his face into the cement — the first of a range of humiliations he says he participated in and witnessed as the prison was opening for business.
Neely has now come forward in this final year of the detention center's existence, saying he wants to publicly air his feelings of guilt and shame about how some soldiers behaved as the military scrambled to handle the first alleged al-Qaida and Taliban members arriving at the isolated U.S. Navy base.
His account, one of the first by a former guard describing abuses at Guantanamo, describes a chaotic time when soldiers lacked clear rules for dealing with detainees who were denied many basic comforts. He says the circumstances changed quickly once monitors from the International Committee of the Red Cross arrived.
The military says it has gone to great lengths in the seven years since then to ensure the prisoners' safe treatment. "Our policy is to treat detainees humanely," said Navy Cmdr. Jeffrey Gordon, a Pentagon spokesman.
After the Sept. 11 attacks and the swift U.S. military response in Afghanistan, the Bush administration had little time to prepare for the hundreds of prisoners being swept up on the battlefield. The U.S. Southern Command was given only a few weeks notice before they began arriving at Guantanamo Bay Naval Base in Cuba — a locale thought to be beyond the reach of U.S. and Cuban law. The first arrivals were housed in cages that had been used for Haitian migrants almost a decade earlier.
[Haitians sent to Guantanamo by Aristide were held in cages just like terrorist of Al Quead]
Now President Barack Obama is committed to closing the prison and finding new ways of handling the remaining 245 detainees as well as any future terror suspects. Human rights groups say his pledge to adhere to long established laws and treaties governing prisoner treatment is essential if the United States hopes to prevent abuses in the future.
"If Guantanamo has taught us anything, it's the importance of abiding by the rule of law," said Jennifer Daskal, senior counterterrorism counsel for Human Rights Watch.
Or as Neely put it in an interview with The Associated Press this week, "The stuff I did and the stuff I saw was just wrong."

I--Le rire comme schème du pathos dans sa fonction de communication
Dan s un univers diégétique dominé fondamentalement par le drame, il est d’une portée hautement thérapeutique que les protagonistes trouvent ou se créent des occasions de rire. En ce sens, le rire, comme un des modes d’expression des affects, a une fonction humaine et sociale évidente. C’est peut-être ce qui fait dire à Suzanne Héleinkoss que : "le rire: c'est le dédain et la compréhension mêlés, et en somme la plus haute manière de voir la vie." (LE DISCOURS TEXTUEL DU RIRE DANS SALAMMBÔ DE FLAUBERT//Source internet)
Lié au genre du comique, le rire remplit une fonction esthétique indéniable. Même un auteur comme Gustave Flaubert ne s’est pas privé de cette ressource. Ce dont le philosophe Jean-Paul Sartre s’en est porté garant dans son essai inachevé : « L’idiot de la famille » On doit comprendre que le rire a joué un rôle primordial dans la personnalisation du romancier français. On a même émis l’idée que le rire puisse être considéré comme la clé de voûte de la structure narrative des ses grands romans de la maturité, dont « Salammbô ». C’est dans ce contexte que Suzanne Héleinkoos a pu émette l’hypothèse du <rire comme code de lecture< A cet effet, elle a écrit dans l’ouvrage cité ci-dessus : « Un commentateur récent de Salammbô estime que le mode de lecture le plus propice à l'explication de ce roman serait celui qui emprunterait ses éléments à des données déjà inscrites au niveau des personnages: tels la parole ou le regard. Ce point de vue paraît éminemment raisonnable. Je tiendrais simplement à ajouter que le rire offre précisément une telle voie et/ou voix d'accès. Cette approche est d'autant plus pertinente que les psychologues reconnaissent que le rire se situe à un niveau plus archaïque que celui de la parole; à ce titre, on est en droit d'espérer que le rire puisse entraîner le lecteur vers les couches les plus profondes de l'herméneutique textuelle. »
Rires et contexte du rire Il y a les conditions d’éclosion du rire, circonstances qui déterminent la nature du rire, puisque ce dernier est toujours tributaire d’un contexte social et familial donné. Aussi notre travail va consister à relever ces contextes qui ont fait jaillir le rire.
Contexte 1 : Simidor, maître du rire Le contexte était la première grande réunion familiale pour saluer le retour de Manuel dans sa famille. L’atmosphère était à la joie des retrouvailles. Aussi première grande manifestation du rire sous la houlette de Simidor, le tambourinaire attitré du bourg. Le filon exploité par ce dernier avait trait à la fois aux fanfaronnades et aux plaisanteries des galants ou faux galants sur les femmes, thématique qui a pour vertu de provoquer l’hilarité chez les hommes dont la cible se trouvait être Destine. Il a réussi à obtenir la gaieté générale par des propos faussement courtois adressés à son souffre-douleur : « Destine était hors d’elle-même, mais tous se mirent à rire » Performance réalisée une nouvelle fois, non par ses propos, mais par sa manière de s’envoyer des rasades de clairin : « Les habitants s’esclaffèrent »
Mais on verra que le boute-en-train est le premier à se régaler de ses propres lazzis. Pour s’être osé se comparer à Papa Legba, il a été vertement remis à sa place par Clairmise, alors il s’est octroyé un bon rire de joie : « Le Simidor rit largement » Puis, il rira de ce qu’il croyait être <ses bons mots <: « Il étouffa un petit tressautement hilare »
Contexte 2 : le rire des amants de Fonds-Rouge Le contexte a été l’une des rencontres galantes nocturnes que Manuel et Annaïse savaient s’aménager dans les bois. Le ton général a toujours été à la joie, au respect réciproque, comme on s’en rendra compte. Rires du couple Manuel-Annaïse qui s’échangeaient des galanteries dénoncées par l’un et l’autre : « Ils riaient tous deux. Le rire d’Annaïse roulait dans sa gorge renversée et ses dents se mouillaient d’une blancheur éclatante »
Il revenait à Manuel d’amplifier le motif du rire en caractérisant celui de sa partenaire : « Tu ris comme la tourterelle » Rire de confiance, de joie et de bonheur qui n’a pas quitté le visage de la fille de Rosanna, et qu’elle garda jusqu’au moment du départ comme pour dire à son amant sa satisfaction : « elle lui sourit, puis éperonna le cheval du talon »
Contexte 3 : Manuel et Laurélien On est au chapitre X, le décor est occupé par Délira et Bienaimé. L’homme, dans un accès d’autocritique feinte, confessait à sa femme qu’il avait mauvais caractère. Sur ces instances se présentaient Manuel et Laurélien, en surimpression, venant des bois, pour annoncer l’heureuse nouvelle de l’eau trouvée : « Manuel et Laurélien arrivaient à grands pas. Ils riaient » Ils riraient de joie pour un grand événement. Comme le couple âgé n’y croyait pas en traitant le compagnon de Manuel de fou, il ne continuait pas moins d’être hilare.
Contexte 4 : Manuel et le rire de victoire Rire de triomphe de Manuel avec le couronnement de jours de recherches angoissantes qui l’ont conduit à trouver l’emplacement de l’eau. Rire donc de la victoire: « Il baisait la terre des lèvres et riait »
Contexte 5 : Délira et son rire Le texte donne à penser que Délira aime à rire, au point d’avoir < son rire<, celui qui lui est propre : « Délira eut son petit rire clair »
Contexte 6 : Rire esthétique Rire non attribuable à aucune créature humaine, mais donné comme signe ou métaphore de la moisson féconde : « [….] des rangées de grains paraissaient qui semblaient rire »
Contexte 7 : Rire paradoxale ou mauvais rire de Gervilen , Au chapitre XI, Manuel a déniché le précieux liquide salvateur et entendait le faire bénéficier à tous, mais le clan opposé a eu vent de cela, et s’est réuni pour savoir quelle attitude adoptée. Ces nouvelles ne plaisaient guère à Gervilen, d’où ce rire inqualifiable : « Gervilen éclata de rire. Son rire était effrayant à entendre. C’était comme si on déchirait une feuille de tôle rouillée »
Contexte 8 : le sourire menaçant de Gervilen A la fin du chapitre XII, Manuel s’est rendu chez Larivoire pour présenter son projet de réconciliation au clan opposé, projet qui a reçu l’approbation générale moins une voix, celle de Gervilen. A ce moment précis, ce dernier a pris ses dispositions pour tuer son adversaire: « Il se dirigea vers Manuel. Il s’arrêta à deux pas de lui. Il le regarda longuement comme s’il prenait sa mesure et dit avec un sourire qui lui déchirait la bouche »
II-Colère comme expression du pathos Nous voulons ouvrir ce chapitre par des considérations générales qui nous serviront de cadre de réflexions : « Caractère, un éthos tout particulièrement disposés à éprouver la colère. Toutes les grandes œuvres littéraires en témoignent : épopée, tragédies, discours des orateurs attiques et les récits des historiens sont jalonnés par l’évocation de fréquentes et redoutables colères. L‘Iliade repose sur la double colère des deux chefs : Agamemnon et Achille. Les tragédies d’Euripide tournent autour des colères de Clytemnestre, d’Electre, d’Oreste, des Sept contre Thèbes. Les tragédies de Sophocle tournent autour des colères d’Œdipe et Tirésias, d’Antigone, de Polynice et d’Etéocle. L’éthique d’Aristote se trouve tout naturellement faire une place importante, à côté du pathos de l’intempérance des plaisirs, à l’intempérance de ce pathos qu’est la colère » (Ontologie et dialogue : mélanges en hommage à Pierre Aubenque//Books.google.fr)
Tout comme L’Iliade, le roman de Jacques Roumain a ses deux hommes de colère que sont Bienaimé et Gervilen ; il n’est pas étonnant qu’il en soit ainsi, car ce n’est pas le seul trait qui les lie. Cela participe d’une logique narrative qui a à voir fondamentalement avec l’esthétique de l’auteur. Pour le moment, nous nous en tiendrons unique au sentiment de colère de chaque protagoniste replacé dans le contexte de son expression
Contexte1 : Bienaimé, homme de la colère Il est dit clairement, -- par une sorte de jugement d’autorité, étant celui du narrateur sur le personnage qu’il a créé lui-même-- que le sentiment de colère est constitutif du caractère de Bienaimé, on dirait de <type bilieux<, ce qui en fait un être au sang bouillant, c’est-à-dire tout simplement un homme de la colère : « La colère, c’était la seule sève qui lui restait dans les veines. Il en faisait grand usage »
Contexte 2 La colère de Bienaimé contre Manuel Au moment du partage des tâches, après la découverte de l’eau, Bienaimé, contre l’avis du fils, n’entendait pas du tout que le camp ennemi participât à la grande coumbite. Il affirma sa furieuse désapprobation de la plus violente manière : « Ferme ta grande gueule, palabreur, rugit Bienaimé. Je ne veux plus t’entendre. Et si tu continues, je te tannerai la peau, dans la mesure de ton dos, à coups de bâton// » Et comme un effet dévastateur de la soudaine montée d’adrénaline : « Il brisa sa pipe en la lançant violemment sur le sol et partit à travers champs pour donner de l’air et de l’espace à sa rage ».
Contexte 3 : Suite de la même tempête bilieuse La colère tenace du père n’a pas tombé, au contraire continuait à bouillir sa bile longtemps après : « De son côté, Bienaimé se montrait intraitable. C’est à peine s’il adressait la parole à Manuel et encore rien que pour le commander… ».
Contexte 1 : Gervilen faisait une scène terrible à Annaïse A la fin du chapitre VI, Annaïse s’était rendu nuitamment au premier rendez-vous galant que lui avait fixé le fils unique de Délira, mais elle était épiée par un Gervilen jaloux, qui tenait à lui faire une scène, au début du chapitre VII ; cependant l’amoureux dépité n’a pu garder son calme : « Il avait crié ; mais sa voix était restée dans le fond de sa gorge, rauque et gonflée de fureur. Elle respira une haleine empoisonnée de clairin »
Contexte 2 : Suite du contexte précédent Au cours de l’entrevue volcanique, les arguments de l’homme n’ont pu avoir d’effets convaincants sur la jeune fille, et même celle-ci a aggravé la situation en le traitant d’alcoolique, alors sa colère s’amplifia : « Il parlait avec une âpre véhémence, mais à voix basse, comme si la nuit était aux écoutes »
Contexte 3 : Gervilen tançait ses coreligionnaires Au chapitre XI, on est chez Larivoire où le clan opposé au clan des Jean-Joseph devisait sur la bonne riposte à apporter à la situation qui se prévalait, savoir la possession de l’eau. Gervilen a laissé éclaté sa colère : « Gervilen avait bondi. La grande rage le secouait. Ses yeux lançaient des étincelles dans le charbon de sa face. Un peu d’écume blanchissait sa bouche »
Contexte 4 : Colère de Gervilen contre Manuel Presqu’à la fin du chapitre XII, deuxième réunion chez Larivoire au cours de laquelle se présentait Manuel pour tendre la main de la réconciliation. Gervilen s’y opposait fermement au motif que le sang de son père Dorisca avait coulé et criait vengeance. Quand son argument avait été combattu par Larivoire, figure éminente de son clan en la présence de <l’ennemi Manuel<, alors il ne se possédait plus : « Une grimace frénétique tordait la figure de Gervilen. Il agitait ses mains comme d’énormes araignées »
Dernière image terrible d’un homme littéralement métamorphosé en animal; là, vraiment, les descriptions font foi des sentiments.
Essai structural sommaire Dans ce travail, nous nous sommes limités à une phénoménologie sommaire des affects qui structurent le texte sans nous préoccuper aucunement de leur sémantisme et sémiologie. Car il serait intéressant de savoir les rôles exacts joués par chaque émotion dans l’économie générale de l’univers diégétique. Pour ne rien dire, nous pouvons remarquer au passage que le texte, par une logique manichéenne, privilégie les oppositions binaires qui garantissent l’équilibre de l’ensemble. Ainsi les hommes de colère, situés sur la ligne de la rupture et du chaos, sont contrebalancés par les hommes du rire placés sur la ligne de l’harmonie et de l’ordre. Autrement dit, d’un côté l’hybris ou la démesure qui entraîne tous les déchaînements dionysiaques, face à la mesure apollinien. On pourrait tout aussi bien déterminer des champs sémantiques du Mal qui associeraient des affects comme colère, haine à un phénomène naturel comme la sécheresse, puis à la nuit et au sang, etc Face auxquelles, on opposerait le champ sémantique du Bien qui réuniraient le rire, l’eau, l’amour, la réconciliation, la lumière. En un sens, tout est lié à tout dans ce texte dans lequel se rencontrent des réseaux de signification. Ainsi, espace, temps, actes des hommes sont en parfaire harmonie. Cette ébauche d’analyse pourrait faire l’objet d’une étude plus approfondie.

Guantanamo Bay was used to cage Haitians yes, but how do you come up with, it was Aristide who sent them to these Cages and not that they were fleeing Cedras military coup against Aristide and the FRAPH? You may say you understand me Granneg, But believe me, no sciencefiction book could make a character out of you coup d'etat folks.

That's just simply the way of the US drones who are merely doing what's necessary to keep their jobs. Ours, is to make a way out of no way and set our little children, our people free.

That is when the PRACTICE STARTED of putting Haitian in cages like animals.
REMEMBER: US soldiers are not policemen, they are trained to fight and kill people. They do not adapt very well to police duties. Most are young, 18 to 20 years old, some are also racist and dont deal well with blacks. So they decided to put these Haitian animals in cages.
Bottom line: Aristide's strategy of sending 30,000 Haitian boat people started the practice, and demeaned Haitians with a reputation as "boat people" that will last way past our lifetime on earth.
He got the power, but soon discovered it was empty power. His bosses took him out again in 2004.

| Latortue, I've got no words for this sort of illogic Granneg. You need psychological help my man, and take Satanley with you to the doctor. you know for ten years 91994 to 2004) I studied your ilk, Granneg. Way before I left the theater stage to address you folks DIRECTLY. I'm still at a lost to UNDERSTAND your illogic. You all have been zonbified and perhaps there's no cure. But between 1994 to 2004, I mostly made theater out of my experiences and observations of Haiti and the Iron Will against Haiti. In those years, I wrote about the Little Girl in detention. In terms of the Silence, lies and denials I wrote about these in Why the Hostility towards Me - We've Not Met Before? and in Silence's Crap. In 2004 the second coup d'etat forced a direct confrontation with HLLN as the tool but this stuff is irritating Granneg. Conversations with you coup d'etat people is frustrating to the extreme because you can actually write "Aristide-in-Washington had a STRATEGY of sending 30,000 boat people to Guantanamo so as to pressure Clinton into sending him back as a tchoul President for the blanc...!" Please get some psychiatric help Philippe Latortue!!! As a writer I've been trying to articulate you coup d'etat people's ILLOGIC and zonbification, but even theater can't contain such fiction!!!!! So I can only go back to what I wrote almost 10-years ago, nothing's changed, even with this direct interaction and inspection. I've got nothing new to put on stage. Geez, conversations with you coup detat people are so darn BORING. There's no new material here whatsoever! WHY THE HOSTILITY TOWARDS ME - WE'VE NOT MET BEFORE? (This dramatic piece, with multi-media video footages projected on stage screens, is told through Gede The Narrator playing all parts and speaking as narrator and for Topaz.) http://www.margueritelaurent.com/writings/hostility.html Gede The Narrator: Topaz peers out into the bowel of darkness in the courtroom, carelessly answering the Prosecutor's questions. "i never knew guns were so cold," she says to herself. "Fact is, i never touched a gun before i got here. Now, every time i climb-up the Minister's jeep, the idea of sitting on a gun comes to me. Wouldn't be too swift to blow my butt off by accident. At least not before i've had them children i keep thinking of lately.…" Gede The Narrator:
The verdict, it's unanimous. Ms. Topaz is deemed insane. Sent to an
asylum. “Governments do this; it seemed the Haitian government in this particular case, was busy keeping itself in a job, making absolutely no decisions...in case it turned out unpopular...only just helping the American military forces support USAID, the International Lenders and the U.S. Embassy, who were all busy with the larger issues of divvying up jobs: consulting contracts to mega consulting firms connected to former Boss USAID Mission Directors and current Boss USAID and State Department cronies and experts. i was too stunned. Perhaps i had just joined the sophisticated ranks of adulthood, but for the life of me i couldn't see the purpose of a government, or any multi-lateral international force, for that matter, that didn't protect the civilian population from crime and bodily injury. When i asked, ‘Why aren't we protecting the civilians?’ i was told outright, ‘That is not part of the U.S./U.N. Mission.’ i was told, the multinational forces weren't there to get into domestic issues. imagine that, the U.S. and the European conglomerates NOT getting into Haiti's domestic issues! i told you i was raised by peasants. What do i know? The ‘Internationals’ hadn't come to ‘Restore Democracy,’ they had come to destroy it completely! Want my headache…? Here, take it. i can live better with your version of things. it's not working. My head is exploding.

Wouldn't you say for the greater good there must be a differential between the candidate and the party. Where the candidates informed of the party's technical defect from day one? I believe the decision to extend the deadline had nothing to do with Lavalas rather the disenfranchisement of a large sector of the population; You also have to admit that Haiti is relatively new at the democratic process. So mistakes will be made and lessons will be learned. Unless one had a specific issue with the Lavalas party, justice was served for the majority of the electorate. Point of information; the Lavalas party ran in the last presidential election with Bazin as a presidential candidate. There were no issues then, why is there one now?
Haitians are very intelligent and sometimes that intelligence can be a curse. You would think this frail democracy would welcome inclusion and encourage it. The reality is they have learned the dark side of the democratic process. In the United State one candidate tries to knock their opponent off the ballot. In Haiti they go one step further; they try to knock of the whole party. Oooops I stand corrected, I think the communist party was considered illegal in America.

I believe that Lavalasse has a right to exist, to field candidates, just like any other party. Egal egaux.
1) The rules were: All parties submit candidates by X time, and can appeal by Feb 13th 5PM.
Because of internal stife caused by a devious Aristide playing his people in Haiti against each other, 2 Lavalasse parties submitted 2 sets of candidates. Narcisse had a bad mandate naming her chief of party. It was not notarized as required of me when I send legal papers to Haiti. Protested by lawyer of lavalsse2 party.
lavalasse2 was also in constant contact with Aristide, and believed it was the sole party as told to them by Titid. No one understands that Titid is in constant contact with all lavalasse actors. He caused this mess so he can retain control of both sides of Lavalasse. Aristide understand very well how to divide and conquer.
2) The CEP correctly rejected both sets of lavalasse candidates. Only 1 set allowed per party. both sets could not meet the friday 5PM dealine. As Zili said, Lavalasse was not on any kind of legal status. They were dead for 2009.
3) Samderson visits CEP, orders are given. She is paying 75% of the costs, so she orders an illegality: Re-open the books for another 72 hours so lavalasse can get is stuff together. That is illegal favoritism that lavalasse is so against when it is done against them. For them is OK. Against them is bad. That is colonial blanc orders that they accuse the Latortue Governement of receiving, yet they are doing worse! James, define colonialism?
4) if the offending party had been x, would the CEP have re-opened its books past the published deadline? Is Haiti a sovereign state as CEP has just declared 24 hours before? Or is Haiti and lavalasse a bunch of colonial tchouls of the blancs? What is lavalasse fighting for? Blanc rulers or independence?
5) The "certain set of skills required to win elections" is practiced by all politicians worldwide. It is called LYING to the people. Aristide does it very very well. he has fooled you all these years. On this side of the fence, we know about lying from years of practice, and have stopped lying to the people so we can build, not pillage, burn, steal, and traffic drugs.
6) The only belly that is aching is the klorox hunger of the Haitian people who followed Aristide. Not me.
Good luck with that guy!

I believe you are on the wrong side of history. In every society there is always an appeal process following a decision. Your spin of what took place in Haiti is a leap of faith. As far as I am concern you are admitting the inability of the other side to gain the confidence of the peopleand their inability to organize and get the vote. As long as your people continue with the blame game, they will always be on the outside looking in. There is a certain set of skills you must acquire to win elections. I suggest your people learn those skills and stop the belly aching about the road is clear for the Lavalas party to win the election.
I can not speak for the people you mentioned because there is not much to say except that the process played itself out. I was of the opinion that the CEP arrived at a decision and the decision was final pending an appeal process. In this case the CEP showed its wisdom by extending the dead line=2 0so certain corrections can be made; otherwise the aggrieved party would call on their right to appeal and come to the same decision. I believe it was Attorney Laurent who made that suggestion. There isn't much more to say except encourage your people to get their act together so they can successfully contest elections.

You ask so many questions and dont use paragraphs. Hard to understand and answer.
I believe that Lavalasse has a right to exist, to field candidates, just like any other party. Egal egaux. Treat all parties the same at the CEP.
1) Stated rules are: All parties submit candidates by X time, and can appeal by Feb 13th 5PM.
2) The CEP correctly rejected both sets of lavalasse candidates. Only 1 candidate per party per position.
3) CEP received Lavalasse 1 party, Lavasse 2 party, lawyers, motions, accusations of false papers, and not-legal mandates. It is a lavalasse split and CEP cannot give warnings and delays.
4) if the offending party had been Marc Bazin, would the CEP have re-opened its books past the published deadline? Would Marc have gotten an extra 72 hours? NO.
Therefore it is illegal to favor any other party. I dont care who it is.
REASONING
It is not a question of serving the greatest number or disenfranchising the masses. Time is time. Rules are rules. IF Haiti is going anywhere, those 2 must be learned and applied. All rules and all times in Haiti have always been ignored, and that is the root cause of chaos. The only people who benefit from chaos are magrouilleurs, and thieves.
This is pre-lavalasse and with-lavalasse regimes. Chaos-Magrouille are married together.
What Lavalasse and I used to agree on, is the need to stop prefferential treatment of certain people and to give equal access and equal rules for every one. I have stayed the course, Lavalasse has not.
Lavalasse has bent the rules at every turn, with an attitude that "you had your turn, now its my turn". That is myopic. You dont break the rules like the thieves did, just to show that you are different! Chaos is the way of failure, favoritism, and perdition. lavalasse and I used to agree on that point. Lavalasse lost its compass.
I will forever defend Lavalasse's right to participate in free and fair elections. But dont give me year 2000 elections where you are unopposed! It is a true sign of stealing elections. If Titid had won 50.1% of the vote, he would be President. Does he need to show 98%? Tell me the reasoning behind 98%! Does it mean all bourgeoisie voted for him?
STEALING VOTES IN HAITI
Intimidation at the polls came in that vote bulletins were colored differently for each party, so that from the outside, intimidators grabbed all blue votes and ripped them away from voters.
That is just like the old days when the Haitian Army carried all the votes from polling stations to a central location. Of course, there were burning stations where all trucks were unloaded and re-loaded with the "correct" boxes.
PROBLEM WITH LAVALASSE
The heart of my case with lavalasse is that they are more arrogant than the people they are against. They are more magrouilleurs and chaotic. Haiti needs order, end to favoritism and thievery. WE HAVE THE MOST CORRUPT COUNTRY ON THE FACE OF THE EARTH, and the place to start is same rules for everybody, AND RESPECT FOR EVERY BODY ELSE'S RIGHTS AND RELIGIONS. We have no respect and no shame. We inflict Haitianism on every other country in the area. Haitianism is seen as a bad disease.
MOVING ON
In spite of all this, if Lavalasse or the mighty Titid himself would lower themselves and admit mistakes, ask for forgiveness in a genuine way, I would say lets start over with a spirit of true sharing for the good of Haiti. But it aint gonna happen.
Smallness in Haitian culture means that when you are chief, what you say goes. There is no middle ground, no different ways.
THAT attitude is what led to the end of white western countries, and where they are in 2009. They will come back, but at 1/3 or 1/4 of where they were before, so why follow them to doom with bad governance?
James, go see your man in S Africa, ask him to rethink his past and his present. He needs genuine internal cleansing and renewal. That will determine his future.

James,
It may be me after all, since I was raised in Haiti by a certain Haitian who strictly followed the rules. I still respect rules, and I still raise hell when the field is not level.
Let me tell you how I was raised, and maybe you can understand my reaction to the 72 hours delay for the benefit of 1 party.
FDS
I grew up in a home where Dad was Dean of Faculte Des Sciences. Francois Duvalier was President, and he respected Dad very much, because of Dad's reputation as a strict and fair person.
At that time, Admission to public Universities was done by exam. The top 40 scores were admitted every year, and 25 or so graduated. No favoritism.
Duvalier got into the habit of sending "Ti papier" to all Universities for admission of Tonton Macoute's children. This favoritism happened at all schools, except at Faculte des Sciences, since Francois knew who was in charge there.
After 4 or 5 years, the papers finally started showing up at FDS. Dad had a problem.
He solved it by posting on the admission board:
ADMIS PAR CONCOURS
(LIST OF 34 NAMES)
ADMIS PAR ORDRE DU PRESIDENT A VIE DE LA REPUBLIQUE
(LIST OF 6 NAMES)
The 6 fools were sneered by other students. 1 lasted 1 day. By end of year, the only 1 remaining was an "A" student who had proven his worth.
Francois Duvalier had learned his Lesson.
LESSON LEARNED
Francois Duvalier never tried that again with FDS. After that, a Minister-Tonton Macoute tried in person to get his daughter admitted by Dad.
He threatened that he would go to the palace about this. Dad smiled. The fool went to the palace, and never came back with his daughter.
Maybe that is why Granneg cannot tolerate people calling their blanc to order CEP to extend by 72 hours. It is pure favoritism and demeans the Haitian CEP and Democracy.
The correct position is to get your act together first, so that the world does not wait on you, and you dont have to call the blanc and once more become his black servant.
Respect your self. Respect your skin. Respect Haiti.
Do it correctly, and on time. You know the law. The party chief has to sign. Any mandat has to be Notarized by the Haitian Consul if you are overseas. Why do you want special treatment? Once in power, will those legislators treat all equally or expect favoritism they have already learned??
We dont need help from a blanc master whose brother received $43million as your lobbyist from 1991 to 1994.

I fully appreciate the manner you were brought up. I believe under normal circumstances, these rules should apply. Sometimes one has to look at the larger picture. We would all be foolish if we thought that the Haitians institutions are autonomous. They are being dictated by one faction of the State Department or another. The CEP was following the direction of the old bosses of the Republican Party. The exclusion of a whole party could not stand the scrutiny of the law since there was precedence where this same party ran a slate of candidates in the last presidential election. Therefore the exclusion is not a matter of technical defect rather it’s political.

You still dont get it.
1) "My theory is the Republican Party is looking for every way to test President Obama"
The woman's brother received $43 million for lobbying 1991-1994. put "brother" in quotes.
1401 NY Ave, Lobbyist section 1st floor. ask for official signed filings for Haiti 91-94.
After that, look both ways before crossing streets.
The Republicans are no longer in power. I am an Obama volunteer, so dont make me Republican, but IRI is not in this.
She is in charge and dont you try to get anywhere near her territory. The woman is fierce and gave Obama hell to pay during the elections. Remember?
She fears no US President and made one sleep on a sofa for 6 months after pounding him with dishes, cups, saucers. Hell with those President guys. They are morons!
2) Rules are rules. Haiti must live by law and rules if we are to be an organized society. It is very Haitian of you to say: Rules are rules but this is a special case.
Say it is french: C'est un delicat cas!
3) Preval's trip in 2006 was a good one. He went into WB office and fought with Zoellich the German-American. Preval won, and Preval lost. He won by not yielding to WB, he lost by not yielding to WB. That is all i'll say about that. Not a republican ideal trip.
4) "The decision to exclude the Lavalas party had to have the blessing of President Preval."
Someone at Lavalasse should have thought about the future when they sent an execution team to kill Preval's best friend and godfather to his child, Jean Dominique.
Someone at Lavalasse should have thought about the future when they sent an execution team to kill Preval's sister who had just called Tabarre and set the comedian back in his place. The sister was wounded but escaped death.
Someone at Lavalasse should have thought about the future when they kept nominating people to all government positions from Tabarre, when Preval was President. Every Judge, every Dept Head, the Director of Ports, etc,,,were illegally nominated from Tabarre by someone who was even part of the official government, yet nominated and installed every one.
So James, you want Preval to like Lavalasse??????
Do you get it James??? Think about the future, Lavalasse does not!

http://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO402D.html G-184 leader Andy Apaid was in liaison with Secretary of State Colin Powell in the days prior to the kidnapping and deportation of President Aristide by US forces on February 29. His umbrella organization of elite business organizations and religious NGOs, which is also supported by the International Republican Institute (IRI), receives sizeable amounts of money from the European Union.(http://haitisupport.gn.apc.org/184%20EC.htm ). It is worth recalling that the
NED, (which overseas the IRI) although not formally part of the CIA,
performs an important intelligence function within
the arena of civilian political parties and NGOs. It was created in
1983, when the CIA was being accused of covertly bribing politicians
and setting up phony civil society front organizations.
According to Allen Weinstein, who was responsible for setting up the
NED during the Reagan Administration: "A lot of what we do today was
done covertly 25 years ago by the CIA."
('Washington Post', Sept. 21, 1991). The NED channels congressional funds to the four institutes: The International Republican Institute (IRI), the National Democratic Institute for International Affairs (NDI), the Center for International Private Enterprise (CIPE), and the American Center for International Labor Solidarity (ACILS). These organizations are said to be "uniquely qualified to provide technical assistance to aspiring democrats worldwide." See IRI, http://www.iri.org/history.asp ) For complete article go to:
The Destabilization of Haitiby Michel Chossudovskyhttp://www.globalresearch.ca/articles/CHO402D.html********************************************* During the military government (1991-1994), FRAPH was (unofficially) under the jurisdiction of the Armed Forces, taking orders from Commander in Chief General Raoul Cedras. According to a 1996 UN Human Rights Commission report, FRAPH had been supported by the CIA. Under the military dictatorship, the narcotics trade, was protected by the military Junta, which in turn was supported by the CIA. The 1991 coup leaders including the FRAPH paramilitary commanders were on the CIA payroll. (See Paul DeRienzo, http://globalresearch.ca/articles/RIE402A.html , See also see Jim Lobe, IPS, 11 Oct 1996). Emmanuel Constant alias "Toto" confirmed, in this regard, in a CBS "60 Minutes" in 1995, that the CIA paid him about $700 a month and that he created FRAPH, while on the CIA payroll. (See Miami Herald, 1 August 2001). According to Constant, the FRAPH had been formed "with encouragement and financial backing from the U.S. Defense Intelligence Agency and the CIA."

I am not sure what is it I did not get. After saying I don't get it you went ahead and supported my position with your arguments in 4). I can not summarily convict Lavalas of the crimes you mentioned since to date there are no conviction record for Lavalas. Since you are insisting on the rule of law, one is innocent until proven guilty by a jury of your peers in a court of law. You did not address the fact that Lavalas ran a slate of candidates in the last presidential election; there were no technical defect then and there aren't any now. Therefore the exclusion is base on political issues not on compliance issues.
Finally if you are an Obama supporter then you are on the wrong side in Haiti. Stonewall is offering you lip service but he is clear that his boss es are the right wing elements of the Republican Party.
Again Granneg I am not asking you to agree with me I am merely asking you to understand where I am coming from. I favor the position of CARICOM and the Congressional Black Caucus. President Aristide was illegally deposed and exiled. The exclusion of the Lavalas party is the continuation of that agenda as prescribed by the old guards in the State Department. Again Granneg if you are such a defender of the rule of law why aren't you condemning the flagrant violation of the constitution by the coup d'état folks?
Finally, I take exception to the following comment “2) Rules are rules. Haiti must live by laws and rules if we are to be an organized society. It is very Haitian of you to say rules are rules but this is a special case." In my humble opinion statements like that identifies a fundamental flaw in the Haitian way of thinking. In other words if its an incorrect statement its got to be Haitian; if its an improperly throughout idea, its got to be Haitian; if its negative, its got to be Haitian; if it does not make sense, its got to be Haitian; why can't it just be human frailty? I said that kind of pejorative statement identifies a self hate on the part of too many Haitian. I reject it in the strongest terms.

I fully appreciate the manner you were brought up. I believe under normal circumstances, these rules should apply. Sometimes one has to look at the larger picture. We would all be foolish if we thought that the Haitians institutions are autonomous. They are being dictated by one faction of the State Department or another. The CEP was following the direction of the old bosses of the Republican Party. The exclusion of a whole party could not stand the scrutiny of the law since there was precedence where this same party ran a slate of candidates in the last presidential election. Therefore the exclusion is not a matter of technical defect rather it’s political.

Your definitions and expectations of human beings need re-thinking.
What you dont get is that I can be 150% Obama person and still not like Lavasse at all.
It is absurd to think that Obama is on Lavalasse's side. He has not said anything, considering that 22 members of Aristide's closest circle went to Jail for drug traficking. As you said, those are convictions in federal court, not opinions.
Aristide chose Ketant as Godfather to his first child when it was open and full knowledge that Ketant had escaped from US to avoid a 30-year drug distribution sentence. That is also an empirical fact, not hearsay.
As Godfather, they were very close to each other untill the DEA picked Ketant up with an order signed by Aristide, and stuffed him in a DEA plane to Miami. 40 Years additional.
Obama has access to complete details of 22 convicted Haitian
Lavalasse-Aristide-close-aides-drug-smugglers. That is also an empirical fact, not an opinion. personal Security chief, Senate leader, chiefs of police, ....
Lavalasse did not meet the requirements for inclusion in the elections, that is also an empirical fact. They are in several pieces again, and should be excluded based on their imbecility at not being ready and in line LIKE ALL OTHER POLITICAL PARTIES WERE.
What is so special about those comedians??
You are split and untogether. No need to call your paid blanc dog and further destroy Haitian Democracy! I use Haiti and Democracy in the same sentence very hesitantly, thanks to Lavalasse, and thanks to backwards Haitians at every level.
Caricom no longer believes or backs Aristide. Every PM or Ambassador I have met in last few years always ask the same question: How did we miss this?? 22 people in jail for drug smuggling really opened our eyes. We now know what was going on!
Check it out James. Ask for a Caricom resolution vote!
Finally, it is very Haitian to bend rules. No we dont have exclusivity in doing so. But in Haiti all rules are made to be broken. Nothing is real. Doublure, lies, false papers, triple cross (not double cross) are the standard. This is the ideal place for drug smugglers, Nazi colaborators after WWII, and all sorts of rejects of the World.
That is what Lavalasse needs to address, the mentality of asking favors from a blanc, since we know that 1 blanc favor = Lavalasse's slavery and Haiti slavery for a long time to come.
We need to stand on our own 2 feet, be prepared and follow the law, not think "we are Lavalasse so we are special".
I hope that, in upcoming elections and any future elections, Lavalasse candidates will be severely rejected by the people, so that the arrogant and noisy Lavalasse can go away after 20 years, and be part of past history.
Good luck with that, I dont seem to be making sense to you.

Dont call Lavalasse "thugs" even though they may be. Dont make the white press happy.
What Lavalasse and Aristide need to understand:
1) Life is too short. Time to move on. He is over 50. Remaining years are few. The best years are behind him, and behind for Lavalasse.
2) Stop threatening and killing people. Go back to Greek and Roman times and bring it to Duvalier. Killing people has not worked for 4000 years. Does it matter that 35,000 people died at the battle of the Plain of Jars in 1200BC?? Who? Where?
Does it matter to J C Duvalier that 600,000 Haitians were killed by Duvalier regimes?
Nothing was accomplished by killings, and he is a sad example of a human being.
How is life in South Africa? Will you be there when new Gov takes over and asks $5mil per month fees from you?
3) After 20 years on the scene and having accomplished NOTHING, it is time for Lavalasse to have a big convention in South Africa.
The best thing is to decide to change direction and tactics. Tell the mad monk to remember his studies in "acte de contrition", introspection, confession, and redemption.
He needs to go back to basics. Maybe join the order again.
4) If Aristide really confesses and redempts, it will go a long way to giving Haiti the Peace it has not had since he showed up on the political theater stage. Aristide learned a good colonial lesson from his studies, and applied it very well. Raise their heads to the sky and steal down on earth.
That lesson is best described by Julius Nyerere, the father and founder of Tanzania.
"When the white man came to Africa, he had the Bible and we had the land. Today, we have the Bible and he has the land"
That is what Aristide did to the poor uneducated masses of Haiti. Raise their heads to the sky by blaming "those light-skinned people" in the hills above PAP.
Then he stole, killed, and married one of those light-skinned people from the hills above PAP. Same as J C Duvalier. Plus ca change, plus c'est la meme chose.

It may be me after all, since I was raised in Haiti by a certain Haitian who strictly followed the rules. I still respect rules, and I still raise hell when the field is not level.
Let me tell you how I was raised, and maybe you can understand my reaction to the 72 hours delay for the benefit of 1 party.
FDS
I grew up in a home where Dad was Dean of Faculte Des Sciences. Francois Duvalier was President, and he respected Dad very much, because of Dad's reputation as a strict and fair person.
At that time, Admission to public Universities was done by exam. The top 40 scores were admitted every year, and 25 or so graduated. No favoritism.
Duvalier got into the habit of sending "Ti papier" to all Universities for admission of Tonton Macoute's children. This favoritism happened at all schools, except at Faculte des Sciences, since Francois knew who was in charge there.
After 4 or 5 years, the papers finally started showing up at FDS. Dad had a problem.
=0 AHe solved it by posting on the admission board:
ADMIS PAR CONCOURS
(LIST OF 34 NAMES)
ADMIS PAR ORDRE DU PRESIDENT A VIE DE LA REPUBLIQUE
(LIST OF 6 NAMES)
The 6 fools were sneered by other students. 1 lasted 1 day. By end of year, the only 1 remaining was an "A" student who had proven his worth.
Francois Duvalier had learned his Lesson.
LESSON LEARNED
Maybe that is why Granneg cannot tolerate people calling their blanc to order CEP to extend by 72 hours. It is pure favoritism and demeans the Haitian CEP and Democracy.
The correct position is to get your act together first, so that the world does not wait on you, and you dont have to call the blanc and once more become his black serva nt.
Respect your self. Respect your skin. Respect Haiti.
Do it correctly, and on time. You know the law. The party chief has to sign. Any mandat has to be Notarized by the Haitian Consul if you are overseas. Why do you want special treatment? Once in power, will those legislators treat all equally or expect favorit ism they have already learned??
We dont need help from a blanc master whose brother received $43million as your lobbyist from 1991 to 1994.

EDWIDGE DANTICAT PRESENTS THE MIAMI PREMIERE OF
POTO MITAN: HAITIAN WOMEN, PILLARS OF THE GLOBAL ECONOMY
http://www.potomitan.net
February 26-28, 2009
FOR INFORMATION PLEASE CONTACT:
Mark Schuller or Renée Bergan, Tèt Ansanm Productions / in...@potomitan.net / (347) 599-1116
"Like most subaltern women, everyone else has spoken for Haitian women. Yet, we have a history of speaking for ourselves. I support Poto Mitan because it will offer a rare glimpse into how Haitian women in the struggle understand their complex conditions and what they are doing for themselves."
- Gina Ulysse, Haitian American anthropologist/activist/performer
Award-winning Haitian American novelist Edwidge Danticat, who wrote and narrated a "krik-krak" (storytelling narrative bridge) for documentary Poto Mitan: Haitian Women, Pillars of the Global Economy will be introducing the film at its Miami premiere.
Haiti's image in mainstream and alternative media is almost entirely negative: an endless stream of dire poverty, protracted violence, and extreme fallout from natural disasters. Poto Mitan provides viewers desperately-needed historical context and understanding of people confronting these issues.
Told through compelling lives of five courageous Haitian women workers, Poto Mitan gives the global economy a human face. Each woman's personal story explains neoliberal globalization, how it is gendered, and how it impacts Haiti: inhumane working/living conditions, violence, poverty, lack of education, and poor health care. While Poto Mitan offers in-depth understanding of Haiti, its focus on women's subjugation, worker exploitation, poverty, and resistance demonstrates these are global struggles. Finally, through their collective activism, these women demonstrate that despite monumental obstacles in a poor country like Haiti, collective action makes change possible.
Poto Mitan's uniqueness springs from the five women's acute understanding of the power of film. The women implored us to share their stories with fellow U.S. citizens who have the power to make change. Haiti's poor majority – especially women – are often spoken for and about, but rarely given the chance to speak on their own behalf. Until now.
We had a successful world premiere at the Santa Barbara International Film Festival, nominated for the Social Justice Award and with two additional screenings added because of high demand.
We are pleased to announce our Miami Premiere. Miami is home to a large and active Haitian American community, so it is fitting that we are working with several Miami groups for our local premiere a month following the world premiere. Tèt Ansanm Productions is partnering with Haitian restaurant Tap Tap Restaurant in South Beach, Haitian American community organization Sant La, Miami's public university, Florida International University – African American and Diaspora Studies and the Latin American and Caribbean Center, and the Coral Gables United Church of Christ. These are fundraising events, with proceeds going to nine grassroots groups in Haiti, but no one will be turned away for lack of funds.

Port-au-Prince, le 16 février 2009 –(AHP)- L’Organisation Non Gouvernementale brésilienne « Viva Rio », en partenariat avec la Centrale Autonome Métropolitaine d’Eau Potable (CAMEP), a procédé lundi au lancement d’un projet d’eau potable en faveur des habitants du quartier populaire du Bel-air.
Selon le responsable de l’unité « quartiers défavorisés » de la CAMEP, Paul Lydbenson Théodate, ce projet vise le renforcement de la capacité des réservoirs du Bel-air, ce qui permettra de mettre plus d’eau à la disposition des habitants de ce quartier.
Tout est fin prêt pour démarrer les travaux d’adduction sur plus de 330 mètres de fouilles sur une période d’environ 3 mois, à partir du réseau du Boulevard Maïs Gaté, a précisé M. Théodate.
La CAMEP entreprend avec Viva Rio un autre projet qui consiste à pourvoir en eau des fonfaines publiques construites dans 13 quartiers par cette ONG, actuellement alimentées à parlir de camions-citerne, a-t-il encore expliqué.
Pour sa part, la coordonnatrice du projet, Dr Rosianne Siméon, a fait savoir que ce projet a été mis sur pied suite à une étude dans le quartier du Bel-Air montrant que cette population dispose de moins de 15 litres d’eau par jour.
Ce projet coûtera environ 120,000 dollars américains, a fait savoir le Dr Siméon.
Nous nous proposons également de mettre des structures en place en vue de capter l’eau de pluie, à partir des toits des établissements scolaires de la zone, a-t-elle encore fait savoir.

Soros sees no bottom for world financial "collapse"
Sat Feb 21, 2009 4:19pm EST
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Renowned investor George Soros said on Friday the world financial system has effectively disintegrated, adding that there is yet no prospect of a near-term resolution to the crisis.
Soros said the turbulence is actually more severe than during the Great Depression, comparing the current situation to the demise of the Soviet Union.
He said the bankruptcy of Lehman Brothers in September marked a turning point in the functioning of the market system.
"We witnessed the collapse of the financial system," Soros said at a Columbia University dinner. "It was placed on life support, and it's still on life support. There's no sign that we are anywhere near a bottom."
His comments echoed those made earlier at the same conference by Paul Volcker, a former Federal Reserve chairman who is now a top adviser to President Barack Obama.
Volcker said industrial production around the world was declining even more rapidly than in the United States, which is itself under severe strain.
