2018 Haiti quakes on Northern Septentrional faultline Most Likely Caused by West Digging for Haiti Resources SHARE
2018 Haiti quakes on Northern Septentrional faultline Most Likely Caused by the West Digging for Haiti Resources without regards to the life and death consequences for HaitiOct 6, 2018 Haiti Quake:Western digging and the unregulated Windward Passage activities on the Haiti Septentrional faultline are most likely responsible for the Haitian people killed, untold injured and damages caused to Northern Haiti by the October 6, 2018 earthquake. Don’t let the Western white saviors, NGO poverty pimps and their Haiti conzes– sambos – further capitalize on Haiti death and plunder with their fake missionary charity and “assistance” to the new quake victims in Haiti. I said it in 2010, I’ll say it now, keep them all out of Haiti or get ready to suffer more trauma, rape, abuse, misery, fake elections and contagious diseases like cholera.

Django, white saviors, false benevolence, third anniversary of Haiti quake SHARE
"The genocide in Haiti and in Africa, is being conducted by...otherwise average, normal, well-intentioned, nice, loving white people. In the context of the Django Unchained movie...Quentin Tarantino made the movie on slavery fun for white folks to watch and fun for Black establishment folks to watch because they don't relate to the monsters portrayed in the movie. Disassociating allows for the anarchic humor of the gallows, for the public to accept cheap trashy thrills and gratuitous violence that wasn't about ending the US system of slavery...Is it such a wonder that in the time of the Obama presidency that Hollywood feels comfortable making a fun movie about slavery -- a time when Liberals or the Left eschew tension, sacrifice and real agitation for justice to make as many convenient alliances as they please with the far right and the Wall Street corporatocracy..."

Haitian cholera epidemic preventable by Ezili Danto SHARE
The cholera outbreak shows the failure of the international relief effort.
The displaced people of Port-au-Prince have been complaining since two months after the earthquake that the Red Cross water they've been given to drink gives them stomachaches. Meanwhile, billions of dollars of donations that could have provided permanent clean drinking water is collecting interest for the numerous charities into the poverty business.

Wyclef Jean's presidential candidacy in Haiti by Ezili Danto SHARE
The media should focus less on this personality-driven Wyclef story,more on reality of what's going on in Haiti right now. Eight months after the earthquake, recovery effort in Haiti is going nowhere. There are 2 million homeless earthquake victims still on the streets of Port-au-Prince. Less than 5% of the rubble has been removed from streets to make room for permanent shelters. 29.6million election cost could be better used.

What You're Not Hearing about Haiti (But Should Be) by Carl Lindskoog SHARE
The 7.0 earthquake was so devastating because it struck an urban area that was extremely over-populated and extremely poor. The poverty and overpopulation in Haiti that magnified the impact of this tremendous disaster were largely the product of American policies and an American-led development model.
