Barbequing Haiti (3/19/24)

It’s been three years since the democratically elected President of Haiti, Jovenel Moise, was assassinated by men with direct connections (with phone records) to Prime Minister Ariel Henry. As civil unrest erupted shortly after, some 15,000 Haitians fled to the United States but were turned around by the Biden administration. Henry has promised elections multiple times but continues to push them back, now to 2025. Daniel L. Foote, U.S. Special Envoy for Haiti and former Ambassador, said “even if elections did come, Henry is so unpopular that the vast majority of Haitians say they wouldn’t vote or accept the results - not least because they believe the process would likely be rigged…” Despite the violence and unpopularity of Henry, the US fully backs his leadership. James Foley, former U.S. ambassador to Haiti, said in an interview about the Biden administration’s support for Henry: “They rode this horse to their doom. It’s the fruit of the choices we made.”Monique Clesca, a Haitian writer and member of the Montana Group, a coalition of civil, business and political leaders, says the support given to Henry by the US is largely to blame for the chaos, and that people want a “Haitian-led solution.” That chaos includes, as Foote says, “rapes, gun violence, kidnappings, lynching” that are now “hallmarks” of daily life. The issue has now been exacerbated with the mass escape of prisoners from the two largest prisons. This is likely the reason that Republicans in Florida are finally taking action to stop the influx not just of immigrants or refugees, but of hardened criminals and gangs from Haiti. And despite rejecting refugees in 2021, the White House seems aimed to welcome them now. The motivation seems to be related to why we have Tren de Aragua, a Venezuelan gang, roaming the streets of NYC, or drug cartels and MS13 operating in the US, or why Iranians and Chinese are being let in within groups of women and children. It’s the importation of cheap labor, voters, criminals, and gangs. In the midst of this chaos, Jimmy Chérizier, leader of the notorious “G9 and Family” gang, has reportedly taken over most of Port-au-Prince, demanding Henry resign, which is exactly what the people want. So why would the Haitian people be resisiting the gangs who supposedly want the same thing? Probably because Jimmy, also known as Barbecue for his supposed actions of lighting people on fire and possibly eating them, is instructing his fighters to destroy police stations and government facilities. And it is no coincidence that as soon as he “takes over” we learn that Henry agrees to resign so long as a transitional government is brokered by the US! And now that the story has some attention, it has been turned into the political theater of an immigration argument instead of the humanitarian crisis that it is - one that was created!-FREE ARCHIVE & RSS: https://www.spreaker.com/show/the-secret-teachingsTwitter: https://twitter.com/TST___RadioFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/thesecretteachingsWEBSITE (BOOKS, RESUBSCRIBE for early show access): http://thesecretteachings.infoPaypal: [email protected]: $rdgableBuy Me a Coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/tstradioSUBSCRIBE TO NETWORK: http://aftermath.mediaEMAIL: [email protected] / [email protected] a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-secret-teachings--5328407/support.Thank you for supporting independent, unbiased inquiry into the mysteries of our world.
