OUI, OUI ET OUI!

HAITI DOIT SE SOLIDARISER,COMME UN MOUTON DE PANURGE, AVEC LA COMMUNAUTÉ DES NATIONS POUR PROTESTER L'ACTION DU TYPE IRRÉFLÉCHIE (Á LA LAVALAS) MENÉE PAR LA RUSSIE DE PUTIN CONTRE L'UKRAINE.

HIER SOIR SUR TELE 578 DE LA FLORIDE, NOUS SUIVIONS L'INTERVIEW DE L'ÉMISSION AVEC L'EX-SÉNATEUR YOURI LATORTUE QUI DIT :

1) AVOIR CONÇU UN PLAN DE SÉCURITÉ SOLIDE Á TRAVERS LES DIX OU ONZE DÉPARTEMENTS DE LA RÉPUBLIQUE D'HAITI ;

2) ET SOUMIS AU PREMIER MINISTRE ARYEL HENRY POUR SUITES NÉCESSAIRES, EN L'OCCURENCE :

i) Mise en Place ;

ii) Financement à la Hauteur de 7 ou 15 millions de dollars US(pas trop bien entendu).

Soit dit en passant que cette valeur est une bagatelle pour l'ex-sénateur et ancien Militaire pro-Duvaliériste qui aurait pu personnellement finançé ce Plan mais qui craint peut-être de dévoiler sa richeSse personnelle. PASSONS!!! PASSONS!!

NOUS, SPP, ÉTIONS D'AVIS DE SOLLICITER ENCORE UNE FOIS L'APPUI D'UNE FORCE DE L'ONU Car nous ne faisions GUÈRE confiance à nos compatriotes de l'intérieur de POUVOIR RÉSOUDRE LE POBLÈME DE LA SÉCURITÉ.

ABSURDE SERA AUSSI NOTRE SUGGESTION D'OFFRIR L'OPPORTUNITÉ Á JEAN-BERTRAND ARISTIDE QUI :

a) A UNE GRANDE INFLUENCE SUR LES MASSES DANS LE PAYS MAIS NE POSSÈDE AUCUNE ÉQUIPE NI FORCE VALABLE POUR POUR POUVOIR DIRIGER ;

b) mais possède une vaste somme d'argent subtilisée de la masse d'aide qu'avait accordée la République de Taiwan à Haïti ous sa présidence dans les années 1991-1994; 2000 à 2004

DE FINANCER CE PROJET DE SÉCURITÉ ET DE PACIFICATION NATIONALE DE YOURI LATORTUE!!!!!!!!!!

UN MARIAGE AVEC L'ARMÉE, N'EST-CE PAS CE QUE VOULAIT FAIRE JEAN-BERTRAND ARISTIDE, UN MARRIAGE QUI L'AVAIT MORDU AUX FESSES!! LOL!!! LOL!!

HAITI A FAIT TOUTES LES EXPÉRIENCES POSSIBLES ET IMAGINABLES JUSQU'Á TOMBER SOUS LE JOUG DE LA CRASSE DE NOTRE SOCIÉTÉ, LES KIDNAPEUURS, VIOLEURS, VOLEURS, CRIMINELS,AIGRIS ET SANS ZAVE LA SOCIÉTÉ HAITIENNE!!!!!

AUX GRANDS MAUX LES GRANDS REMÈDES, MESSIEURS ET DAMES.

LE NATION HAITIENNE ENTIÈRE N'A PAS LES COJONES POUR PULVÉRISER LES BANDITS CHEZ NOUS. ALORS, PUISQUE NOUS REJETONS L'ASSISTANCE L'ÉTRANGÈRE NÉFASTE, ADRESSONS-NOUS Á UN DES NÒTRES QUI A LE COURAGE ET LE SAVOIR

puis

NOUS AUTRES DE LA DIASPORA, SURTOUT, DEMANDERONS ET CHERCHERONS Á IDENTIFIER TOUTES LES MINES ET LES ZONES CONTENANT DES RESSOURCES MINIÈRES VIABLES QUE NOUS PRÉTENDONS QUE LES PAYS ÉTRANGERS :

FRANCE, CANADA ET ÉTATS UNIS D'AMÉRIQUE

CONVOITENT, SONT Á LA RECHERHE ET OU ONT SÉQUESTRÉES CHEZ NOUS POUR LES EXPLOITER LIBREMENT EN MAINTENANT L'INSÉCURITÉ AVEC LES VOYOUS ET LA CRASSE DE NOTRE SOCIÉTÉ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

P.S. If anyone is interested in doing something as unsexy as assisting a Haitian refugee, please contact me. I can put you in touch with some, and with the organisations who are defending their human rights. They all need funding.

Thank you

For those of you who want to help The good whites people of Ukraine perhaps you need to see how the western media is portraying this war. Only black and brown people should experience war and displacement not the good white, blonde hair and blue eyes people of Ukraine. View the attachment.

I totally agree with you Jennie-Laure, and while I'm at it, let me remind the Haitians on this list that Haiti is on the verge of being wiped off the face of the map. Haitians are living the horrors of HELL, every minute of every day, be they inside Haiti, being ruled by vicious gangs, murdered, massacred, kidnapped and raped, suffering all over the hemisphere, being attacked by bandits, beaten, raped, killed, drowning, being eaten by wild beasts in the jungles of Panama, lynched, imprisoned, and mistreated by authorities and vigilantes alike, and no one in the world cares. All doors are shut to them by the very foreign forces who have rendered their home unlivable, and they are deported in the most inhumane way possible, with no due process. But we are here collecting for the people of Ukraine "in their hour of great need and suffering".

Let me tell you that you are standing at the end of a long line of the entire world jumping on the bandwagon of "let's pray for Ukraine", because it's sexy. I don't think that you need to worry about the people of Ukraine not getting help. If anyone of you has as much as a $1 to spare, I would ask you to please send it to someone in Haiti, or even to an anonymous refugee.

By the way, the people of Ukraine are run by a bunch of neo-nazis. Africans trying to take a train to flee Ukraine were stopped by Ukrainian police who told them to go at the end of the queue so that white Ukrainians could get on the train first. Other racists incidents was inflicted on black foreigners in Ukraine.

Let us stand as one with the people of Ukraine at this hour of great need and suffering!
Our own country is the beacon of freedom for all peoples. And our Haitian brothers and sisters are champions of that fight- No matter what!
We can organize to receive donations - whatever we are able to contribute - (Eritaj Foundation or the Haitian Medical Association or Ghrann and/ or other orgs. can receive them- so that we can send our participation as one- the people of Haiti). It is only fitting that we do our part as the world has done for us on Jan 10,2010.

The people of Ukraine are in our prayers. We want them to know that. But let us act boldly as well.
May all the doors open wide for justice to flow in for them!

Dear Scott and William:

Per below on National Public Radio, I am glad to see mention of International Medical Corps' activation for Ukraine. I just received an urgent appeal from a trusted and professional friend there for first aid kits, especially with tourniquets, pictured below. They are needed in large numbers immediately.

Can you provide her with kits like that? At the moment, I believe she is in the west of the country, so relatively accessible to receive kits. At any rate, please try to reach out to her <ch....@outlook.com> You can mention me.

How much are these? If you estimate the cost per kit, I'll include that in our appeals.

Thanks and take care. Call or write anytime. 'Clearing the decks here for however I can help.

Want to support the people in Ukraine? Here's how you can help

Updated February 25, 2022 at 9:55 AM ET

As the Russian military invasion of Ukraine has unfolded, so too has a humanitarian crisis that has forced civilians to flee their homes or take refuge in bomb shelters and subway stations throughout the country.
As the world watches on TVs and smartphones, it's a natural thought to want to help in some way.
Here is a non-exhaustive list of organizations that are asking for assistance. Donations can be made through the links to their websites or social media pages.
UNICEF
UNICEF supports health, nutrition, HIV prevention, education, safe drinking water, sanitation and protection for children and families caught in the conflict in Ukraine.
"Heavy weapons fire along the line of contact has already damaged critical water infrastructure and education facilities in recent days," said UNICEF Executive Director Catherine M. Russell in a statement.
Médecins Sans Frontieres/Doctors Without Borders
MSF runs a range of activities in Ukraine working with local volunteers, organizations, health care professionals and authorities to help people travel to health care facilities and access prescribed medications.
Voices of Children
The Ukrainian organization's Charitable Foundation helps provide psychological and psychosocial support to children affected by the armed conflict, according to its website.
Voices of Children's efforts of support for kids include art therapy, video storytelling, providing mobile psychologists and even individual help for families.
Sunflower of Peace
The nonprofit organization is raising money to prepare first aid medical tactical backpacks for paramedics and doctors on the front lines.
Each backpack is designed for groups of 5 to ten people and includes an array of first aid supplies — such as bandages, anti-hemorrhagic medicine and medical instruments, according to the organization's Facebook page.
International Committee of the Red Cross
This Switzerland-based organization is aiming to help people affected by the conflict and support the work of the Ukrainian Red Cross.
Save the Children
Save the Children, based in London, helps to deliver lifesaving aid to vulnerable children in Ukraine and around the world. According to its website, the organization says it is on the ground in the U.S. and other parts of the world "delivering essential humanitarian aid."
"We are gravely concerned for children in Ukraine, Afghanistan and around the world who might be caught in the middle of armed conflict, forced to flee their homes and exposed to injury, hunger and sub-zero temperatures," the organization writes in a statement online.
UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR)
The international organization aims to provide emergency assistance to families in Ukraine — providing aid such as cash assistance and opportunities for resettlement in the U.S.
"UNHCR is working with the authorities, UN and other partners in Ukraine and is ready to provide humanitarian assistance wherever necessary and possible. To that effect, security and access for humanitarian efforts must be guaranteed," the organization said in a statement.
CARE
CARE is raising money for its Ukraine Crisis Fund, which will provide immediate aid including food, water, hygiene kits, support services and direct cash assistance.
The humanitarian organization aims to raise $20 million and help at least 4 million Ukrainians. It says it will prioritize women and girls, families and the elderly.
International Medical Corps
The global nonprofit has been delivering primary health care and mental health services in eastern Ukraine since 2014, and is raising funds to expand those services for people affected by the latest conflict.
It says cold weather and economic insecurity in the leadup to Thursday's attack have left nearly 3 million Ukrainians relying on humanitarian assistance to meet their basic needs, a number that is certain to rise nationwide.
Its Ukraine team is preparing to deploy mobile medical teams to provide emergency and primary health services, mental health and psychosocial services and COVID-19 awareness and prevention services for people who have been displaced.

The Haitian Diaspora Integration, now or never

By Dr Lesly Kernisant

Now that the D.R. has scornfully demonstrated its deep anti-Haitian sentiments by celebrating the construction of a wall to physically divide two island nations with a common history, this should act as a catalyst for Haitians everywhere to help rebuild their homeland. We should see this as both a clear symbol of disparagement and an opportunity to reconcile our differences and engage in a nation-building campaign toward an eventual recovery. Frankly, we have the means, a large pool of talents and skills, a treasure trove of untapped natural resources, a very young labor force, and a rich history of success against adversity.

By all accounts, we are at the brink of an unrecoverable socio-economic collapse. For too long, we have ignored the ominous signs of this gradual and continuous decline in the quality of life in the country. For 35 years of a post-Duvalier era, we dismissed the openly widespread corruption and the lack of a capable governing entity as temporary roadblocks that would miraculously self-correct into a highly functioning sovereign nation. There were plenty of fact-based messages alerting us that Haiti is the poorest, the most corrupt, and a failed state. When we thought we could not be rated any lower, we now become the country with the highest rate of criminality in the world in terms of kidnappings, mass murders, rapes, and gang violence. There seems to be no end in sight to this real-time phenomenon of socio-political degradation.

Fortunately, as a people, we have been severely tested throughout our history as a small fish in a sea world of giant piranhas and we have always managed to turn despair into hope. For the past few years, our vulnerability has been exposed. Our rich culture has been lost in a tragic reversal of fortune from the gutsy to the vanquished. We are being treated as pariahs of the modern world and are being perceived as aimless nomads from a "shithole" country. Of course, our refugees no longer received any kind of humanitarian perks, but are instead treated like unwanted, ravenous scoundrels that are quickly being packaged and returned to their home base. As bad as it seems, however, the recent events of the past 4 years may have created a small path toward salvation.

Paradoxically, the climate of insecurity has somehow led to a growing sense of rapprochement between the Diaspora (Haitian expatriates) and Haitians living inside. While the Haitian Diaspora has always shown blind loyalty to its homeland in terms of unconditional support through domestic tourism, remittances, investments, mission-oriented activities, and international promotion of their proud ethnicity, the significance of the Diaspora contribution to the economic survival of Haiti was never overtly acknowledged or fully appreciated. In fact, the idea of a Diaspora Integration in the so-called internal affairs of the country was deliberately shunned by most Haitian business oligarchs in cahoots with a selected group of political power players in Haiti. For years, the idea of dual citizenship was seen as anathema to the exclusionary policy tightly enforced both the business oligarchs and their corrupt political cronies.

Because of a convergence of world events such as the Covid-19 pandemic, the pressing danger of ideological conflicts between long established democracy and quickly spreading autocracy, some of the CORE group members, the traditional Haiti’s problem solvers had their resources diverted elsewhere on the international scene. Therefore, Haiti’s long history of dysfunction constantly in need of financial, governance and security rescue become a non-essential priority for its key saviors, particularly the U.S, Canada, E.U. At this crossroad of world turbulence, “to each, his own” seems the appropriate strategy to “weather the storm”. The reduction in the size of international aid package, a reliable component of the country’s annual budget plan, added to a crippling pandemic and the climate of insecurity have further compounded Haiti’s already weak and fragile economy. Clearly, this situation puts a spotlight on the Haitian Diaspora's significance as the only and most reliable economic lifeline for the ultimate survival of Haiti. This long held belief by the Haitian Diaspora community is not only being demystified but objectified in the form of a massive drop in the overall socio-economic activities coincident with a marked reduction Diaspora' s visits to the homeland. It is no longer a presumption, but an assumption supported by facts proving that Haiti's economic future is inexplicably intertwined with its Diaspora.

We should therefore push aggressively for a full and unconditional Haitian Diaspora Integration movement irrespective of any of the multiple accords being promoted. Now that the Diaspora seems poised to exercise its democratic right as tax-paying citizens living abroad, the first and immediate step is to secure the ability to vote one's conscience. Whatever political plot is being concocted by the current pro tempore leaders to retain power, a democratically elected qualified leader seems to be the indisputable goal of all competing parties. Let's focus on building the framework necessary toward a fair and transparent election. This time, we should insist on a truly democratic process of electing someone through a reliable version of the Vox populi and not through the same old selection process fueled in Cronyism and Corruption. We now need to spend more time organizing the serious believers in democracy and less time proselytizing those with duplicitous intent. At present, we have a large community of Haitian expatriates dispersed all over the world. The numbers vary from 2.5 million to 5 million. These numbers are for the most part arbitrarily quoted, we need to first quantify the actual number of Haitian expatriates, naturalized, permanent residents with Haitian passports, temporary visas turned illegal immigrants added to those born in foreign country of Haitian parentage. Once known, we should set up a quick task force to achieve full Haitian Diaspora Integration within a short timeline.

Based on various sources from old host countries' Census data, it is presumed the U.S. proportion of legal Haitian expatriates represent only 1/3 of the Haitian Diaspora. A totally unscientific assertion of a large concentration of Haitians can be found living in 8 different regions of the globe, mostly in North America:

U.S.A. (Miami/Fort Lauderdale) (New York, Boston) ...approximately 1.2 mil?
D.R. (Santo Domingo) ....800,000
Canada (Montreal/Quebec/Toronto) ......300,000?
Europe (France, Spain) .......200,000
Latin America (Brazil, Chile) ...250,000
Caribbean States (Bahamas, Caicos’, Jamaica) ...150,000

These numbers substantially increase when American-born Haitian siblings are counted because they are not reported on Census data as foreign born. By all accounts, the sheer number can translate into a powerful electorate for anyone seeking the Presidency at the next election. All we need now is to create a Diaspora task force for the sole purpose of electing a leader of our choice. Then, we may have a chance to implement a National Recovery agenda. We have no more time to waste. No matter when the next Presidential election is decided, the Diaspora should be ready to exercise its civic duty to VOTE. Remember voting will require a valid I.D. card that can be easily obtained locally at the Haitian Consulate. GETTING YOUR NEW HAITIAN I.D. CARD IS A MUST IF YOU INTEND TO VOTE AT THE NEXT HAITI’S PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION. The best kept secret is that everyone with a Haitian birth certificate is eligible to apply for an identification card at the local consulate office.

WHILE WAITING FOR THE FINAL VERDICT OF THIS HOTLY DEBATED "ACCORD" DISPUTE, LET'S BE READY TO FINALLY PULL THE LEVER OF A TRUE DEMOCRATIC PROCESS SOON (WITH ARIEL ACCORD) OR LATER (WITH MONTANA ACCORD)
