C’mon, it is clear
this has nothing to do with relief
and everything to do with occupation
how can there be no food? but plenty of armed GIs;
after 2 weeks!?!
turning away medecins sans frontieres but let in US child kidnaping christians nuts?
remember Haiti has oil, gold, bauxite

plus a base to control Caribbean, plus you know, Venezuela.
put that in context with Honduras last june, etc…
it’s clear…
also remember context, 2004 US coup to remove Aristide, etc…
let’s not even talk about HAARP and pentagon web page planning “intervention” in Haiti on June 11 when quake occurred on the 12!
