The US has demeaned, degraded and debased Haiti ever since it won its freedom from France. It regularly let in Cuban ‘boat people’ with little difficulty. Haitian boat people got quarantined because of AIDS fears. When former president Aristide was compelled to go into exile, the fingerprints of the CIA were all over the event. Indeed, the US had th UN send in brazilian peacekeepers to quell the post-departure discord. Onc there, the US used them to test out various techniques of urban warfare. The rsults were horrific slaughter of thousands of Haitians. But good reaserch results for the US military…
More recently, the US and its corpoations have tied to find ways to gain access to and control of Haitian natural and energy resources. The recent earthquake revealed previous US corporate assessmens were accuate - Haiti is ‘super rich’ in Oil, Gas and minerals because it sits on the intersection of 3 tectonic plates pushing up mineral wealth to the surface uing th earhquake. Today, the US continues its ill-treatment of the people (using disease and violence) and support of the ‘mulatto elite’ to gain resource exploitation concessions. FOUL STUFF!

The general population of Haiti is against the results. The US government is also against the results. This convergence must be VERY inconvenient for run of the mill truthdiggers.
