Roger's note: you will observe that the Clintons are key players in both of the disasters chronicled here. Full disclosure: they are not my favorite couple. Hubby as president with his so-called welfare reform paved the way for today's ongoing destruction of the social safety net, and his foreign policy, like that of the Missus in her role as Secretary of State, was oriented toward protecting U.S. corporate interests abroad at the cost of the social, economic and environmental welfare of the peoples of the various nations involved. Both Clintons are already there or at least on the way to being multi millionaires, while third world suffering increases abroad and at home. And these are the Democratic Party's leadership, the so-called good guys. Hillary for President.

Haiti and Syria are victims of their rescuers. The two nations are now sites of major disease outbreaks. Cholera in Haiti and polio in Syria didn't just happen. Through negligence, those who claim to rescue the people imported the disease entities and fostered the conditions for wider outbreaks.
680,000 cases of cholera in Haiti since UN rescue mission
The 7.0 Mw earthquake that devastated Haiti on January 12, 2010 collapsed an already fragile society and infrastructure. The United States and major European powers sprung into action. Bill Clinton was the front man for the relief effort. The United Nations provided the vehicle to deliver much of the aid. Welcome to the new Haiti said former president Clinton boasting of the relief effort that would transform the near failed state. Within ten months, the vaunted relief efforts lead to a major outbreak of cholera.
The source of the outbreak was identified quickly. UN enlisted troops from Nepal set up camp and began their work. Someone forgot to screen the troops for cholera, a known problem in Nepal. Prior to these arrival of these peacekeepers, Haiti had never experienced a cholera outbreak. The recent suit for compensatory relief from the UN describes the situation elegantly:
"In or around October 2010, human waste from the base seeped into and contaminated the Meille Tributary with cholera. From the Meille Tributary, the contaminated waters flowed into the [320 km long]Artibonite River, resulting in explosive and massive outbreaks of cholera along the river and eventually throughout the entire country." Haitian citizen class action suit versus the UN, Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Oct 9, 2013
UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon responded that the suit was "not receivable" in an attempt to fabricate sovereign immunity for the UN (See Inner City Press, Feb 21, 2013 and Oct 10). Ki-Moon's initial gambit was to deny any UN role in the outbreak. When it became abundantly clear that the UN's failure to screen outside forces for infectious diseases caused the outbreak, the secretary switched to fictitious legalisms at odds with international law.
The bottom line is simple. The UN's negligence caused the cholera outbreak. It is massive. The Centers for Disease Control reported that: "As of October 17, 2013, 684,085 cases and 8,361 deaths have been reported since the cholera epidemic began in Haiti. Among the cases reported, 380,846 (55.4%) were hospitalized." CDC, Oct 30.
Polio comes to Syria
The World Health Organization (WHO) confirmed multiple reports of an outbreak of wild poliovirus 1 in Syria. The disease is showing up among the very young. WHO went on to warn of a regional outbreak absent coordinated efforts to beat back the disease. Due to, "frequent population movements across the region and subnational immunity gaps in key areas, the risk of further international spread of wild poliovirus type 1 across the region is considered to be high." WHO, Oct 29
Since the domestic political conflict turned violent in Syria in 2011, the Syrian Arab Army has fought domestic and foreign fighters funded and armed by the Gulf oil oligarchs and the U.S. and its NATO allies. Former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton took the lead on U.S. support for the rebels through her insistance that Assad must go. Clinton traveled the world announcing her command that the elected president of Syria leave the country.
This effort at regime change by the same crew that sought to rescue Haiti is apparently doing an encore in war torn Syria.
A senior WHO official announced that Pakistan was the likely source of the Syrian poliovirus outbreak. Taliban controlled areas of Pakistan refuse to cooperate with vaccination programs. One reason for the reluctance was a U.S. organized fake vaccination drive to gather intelligence in the hunt for Osama bin Laden. Pakistan is a known source of foreign fighters in the Syria rebel cause.
DNA testing will confirm the Pakistan speculation. Regardless of the source, however, the conditions created by the attack on Syria by the largely foreign fighter manned brigades created the basis for an outbreak of poliovirus and other infectious diseases.
A legion of fools
Imagine that a friend or acquaintance with an opinion on just about everything that turned out to be wrong on a consistent basis. His actions made any situation worse than it was before he got involved.
Now, imagine that your friend or acquaintance was multiplied by a factor of ten and controlled the most powerful nation on earth.
Instead of an annoying individual with poor judgment, someone whom you could ignore without much effort, the carriers of consistent bad judgment, mistakes, and suffering are everywhere. Whatever these powerful fools touch turns to utter disaster.
Some rescue; some rescuers.
Clintons' Pet Project for Privatized 'Aid' to Haiti Stealing Workers' Wages: Report October 17, 2013

Roger's note: Ah, the Clintons, the couple I love (to hate), major destroyers of what little was left of liberal progressiveness in the Democratic Party. Here they are in Haiti with their bloodsucking "private" capitalistic venture in Haiti, which is the home to one of the poorest peoples in the world, helping to make them even poorer.
"We're sending a message that Haiti is open for business again," Hillary Clinton declared upon the announcement of the opening. What she mean was "open for exploitation."
'This calls into question the sustainability and effectiveness of relying on the garment industry to lead Haiti's reconstruction'
Haiti's Caracol Industrial Park—the U.S. State Department and Clinton Foundation pet project to deliver aid and reconstruction to earthquake-ravaged Haiti in the form of private investment—is systematically stealing its garment workers' wages, paying them 34 percent less than minimum wage set by federal law, a breaking report from the Worker Rights Consortium reveals.
Critics charge that poverty wages illustrate the deep flaws with corporate models of so-called aid. "The failure of the Caracol Industrial Park to comply with minimum wage laws is a stain on the U.S.'s post-earthquake investments in Haiti and calls into question the sustainability and effectiveness of relying on the garment industry to lead Haiti's reconstruction," said Jake Johnston of the Center for Economic and Policy Research in an interview with Common Dreams.
Caracol is just one of five garment factories profiled in this damning report, released publicly on Wednesday, which finds that "the majority of Haitian garment workers are being denied nearly a third of the wages they are legally due as a result of the factories' theft of their income." This is due to systematic employer cheating on piece-work and overtime, as well as failure to pay employees for hours worked.
WRC charges that the wage theft at these 5 factories is "typical" across the country's garment industry, leading to the suppression of national wages at deep poverty levels. As a result, workers have trouble affording food, shelter, and medical care, the report finds.
Through a series of in-depth interviews, as well as review of pay records, researchers discovered that the problem of wage theft throughout the country's garment industry is "egregious" at Northern Haiti's Caracol Industrial Park, which sits at the center of U.S. 'reconstruction' efforts and is slated to employ an estimated 20,000 people.
Financers included the Inter-American Development Bank, the U.S. State Department, and the Clinton Foundation, who invested a total of $224 million with promises to uphold high labor standards. Its anchor tenant is the Korean S&H Global factory, which sells garments to Walmart, Target, Kohl's, and Old Navy, according to the report.
The largest post-earthquake U.S. investment in Haiti, Caracol's backers have championed it as a model for privatized reconstruction. In a July press release, the U.S. State Department champions the park as a chance to "spur economic growth and bring jobs to Haiti's underserved regions."
Then-U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and former U.S. President Bill Clinton attended Caracol's opening ceremony a year ago. "We're sending a message that Haiti is open for business again," Hillary Clinton declared upon the announcement of the opening.
The Clinton Foundation did not immediately respond to a request from Common Dreams for an interview.
Clinton Legacy: "Restoring Slavery" at $300m Haitian Industrial Complex October 23, 2012

Re-imagining the "Taiwan of the Caribbean," again
The Clintons are in Haiti to inaugurate the new $300 million industrial facility touted as "transformative" for the quake-ravaged country, but many wonder if this is simply the next round of imperialism in a country that has been plagued (literally) by outside intervention for too long.

The Caracol Industrial Park, which is hailed as "the centerpiece of the U.S. effort to help the country recover from the 2010 earthquake," according to Trenton Daniel for the Associated Press, is slated to be built on a remote 617-acre site of farmland, mangroves and coral reefs in the northern part of the country.
Critics of the project believe that the industrial park does little more than replicate failed efforts from the past and will benefit outsiders more than Haitians. Writing for Haiti Liberte, Mona Péralte notes, (translated) "this park is a direct illustration of the role of imperialism in the country namely for exploit [if it] come cheaply, if not restore slavery."
Alex Dupuy, a Haiti-born sociologist at Wesleyan University, adds, "this is not a strategy that is meant to provide Haiti with any measure of sustainable development […] The only reason those industries come to Haiti is because the country has the lowest wages in the region."
Workers are already protesting the wages offered by the park's anchor tenant, the South Korean apparel company and Walmart supplier, Sae-A Trading Co. Ltd. Etant Dupain writing on the Let Haiti Live website, notes:
Before the official inauguration, several thousand employees have been working in the Caracol park for the last three months at a wage of 150 gourdes ($3.75 US) a day. Since October 1st, the new minimum wage law has gone into effect, with the government setting the minimum at 300 gourdes a day. Despite this, the managers of the factory operating at Caracol aren't respecting the new official minimum wage.
Sae-A's Haiti representative, Daniel Cho, told AP that the employees "will be paid almost $5 for eight hours of work."
In an effort to attract other tenants to the park, the project's architects are offering duty-free status and a 15-year tax holiday. Dupuy says that because of these tax breaks, "outside investors will have more to gain than Haitians," from this project.
The Clintons and their celebrity supporters (Sean Penn, Ben Stiller, fashion designer Donna Karan and British business magnate Richard Branson were all in tow) were in Caracol on Monday to celebrate the opening. Government officials have been lauding the Caracol project as panacea for Haiti's debilitating economic woes. "We had learned that supporting long-term prosperity in Haiti meant more than providing aid," Secretary Clinton told a roomful of investors. "So we shifted our assistance to investments to address some of the biggest challenges facing this country: creating jobs and sustainable economic growth."
Backers of the complex estimate that the park has the potential to generate up to 65,000 total jobs; Sae-A Korea, who already employs 400 people, agreed to create 20,000 permanent jobs within six years and build 5,000 employee houses on site.
The project—which was in the works before the earthquake—became a top priority for the Obama administration after the disaster. Washington has since invested $124 million in the project, making it the U.S.'s biggest single investment in the aftermath of the quake. According to the Associated Press, "it is certain to shape the legacy of the Clintons."
For many local Haitians, there are flashbacks to the baseball factories built in the 1970s and 1980s under the regime of Jean-Claude "Baby Doc" Duvalier. AP writer Daniel notes:
Those jobs prompted thousands of farmers to leave their fields for the capital, and agricultural areas suffered from neglect. Shantytowns like Cite Soleil emerged to house the new workers. The factories got tax breaks but there was no income to offset Duvalier's alleged plundering of state coffers. Haiti was supposed to become the "Taiwan of the Caribbean" but instead suffered through economic collapse brought on by political instability.

The Puppet, the Dictator, and the President: Haiti Today and Tomorrow January 21, 2012

There they were, at the official ceremony: the living, breathing banes of Haiti's existence. "Rubbing shoulders on stage, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries were Haitian President Michel Martelly, former US President and UN Special Envoy, Bill Clinton, and, Jean Claude Duvalier," the mass murderer and former dictator. The dictator is hoping for some kind of comeback, and the puppet president "will open up Haiti to permanent US occupation and economic exploitation while terrorizing Haitians who fight back." Clinton oversees the whole process on behalf of imperialism.
"Duvalier has been allowed to roam Haiti's streets, even dining at the finest restaurants with the likes of Sean Penn."
Lost amidst the heart-wrenching stories and photographs of the "poor Haitians" living in squalor and misery circulating on the second anniversary of the 12 January 2010 earthquake, another set of images appeared. Few people noticed these other images – they received little attention in the mainstream media – but they offer an insight into the prospects for Haiti's reconstruction and, indeed, into the prospects for Haiti's political and economic future.
The images [4] were taken during the official commemoration ceremonies at the hillside ofTitanyen [5] [pdf], north of Port-au-Prince, where former dictators Jean Claude Duvalier and his father, Francois Duvalier, discarded the bodies of their political opponents. After the earthquake, it became the gravesite of thousands of unidentified earthquake victims. During the ceremonies, local delegates and international diplomats paid their respects to the Haitians that lost their lives and pledged to help those who lived. But the most striking image [6] that emerged during the ceremonies was that of an immoral triumvirate. Rubbing shoulders on stage, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries were Haitian President Michel Martelly, former US President and UN Special Envoy, Bill Clinton, and, Jean Claude Duvalier. To understand the future of Haiti, we have to shift our focus from the "poor Haitians" who dominate Haiti coverage and understand the significance of these three figures to the shaping of US imperial designs on Haiti.
"President Martelly is the face – and backbone – of a resurgent Duvalierism."
"Baby Doc" Duvalier returned to Haiti after twenty-five years in exile on 16 January 2010. His arrival was supposedly a surprise, though it is becoming clear that he was given the go-ahead by France and the United States. The Obama administration's relative silence around the return of Duvalier needs to be contrasted with the noise it made while it forcefully [7] tried to prevent [8] the return of Jean Bertrand Aristide, Haiti's first democratically elected President. The contrast smacks of duplicity. Let's remember that under Duvalier (and his father, Francois) nearly 50,000 [9] Haitians were killed, disappeared, and tortured by the reviled tonton macoutes [10], his private army. At the same time, Duvalier embezzled [11] hundreds of millions of dollars, most of which sponsored an exiled life of grandeur [12]. Despite the calls for his arrest and prosecution by Haitian survivors, lawyers, and international human rights organizations, Duvalier has been allowed to roam Haiti's streets, even dining at the finest restaurants with the likes of Sean Penn.
What does Duvalier symbolize? For Haiti's elite, he represents a form of totalitarian nostalgia. There is a cultish aura that surrounds Duvalier, a reminder of the era of "macoutized bourgeoisie [13]," as journalist Kim Ives has referred to it, when there was an alliance between the elite and the paramilitary forces of terror. But Duvalierism was also good for US politics and economics. In the 1960s, they needed Francois ("Papa Doc") Duvalier to offset the rise of revolutionary communist Cuba. Under Jean Claude ("Baby Doc"), they were able to open up the Haitian markets and resources to US businesses, expand sweatshops, and lay the basis for the coming neoliberal economic policies.
"Duvalierism was good for US politics and economics."
This is where the US-selected President Martelly and "Papa" Bill Clinton come in. As we've pointed out here [14] on Black Agenda Report, right-wing candidate Martelly was handpicked by the Obama administration to become Haiti's president in a forced election marred by irregularities and low voter turn out. More importantly, he is the face – and backbone – of a resurgent Duvalierism. His Duvalier affinities are well known as is his animus [15] towards former President Aristide. He has historic ties with Duvalier loyalists, has called for "amnesty [16]" for Duvalier, and is now in the process of reestablishing the Haitian army. Moreover, his erratic and belligerent interactions with his constituency and political colleagues – and, in particularly, his threats against Haitian journalists – are early indications of his repressive tendencies.
But he is a good puppet. As Ezili Danto of the Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network reminds us: "Martelly is merely a tool to be used by those 'more schooled in the patterns of privilege and domination' than any self-serving Haiti politician could ever dream to be. Martelly is the valve that releases accumulated surface pressure while reinforcing the 'violent Haitian' narrative. Brilliant US/Euro move. A no brainer." In the meantime, he will open up Haiti to permanent US occupation and economic exploitation while terrorizing Haitians who fight back. As the U.S. attempts to consolidate its military presence in the Western hemisphere, control of Haiti is important. For many, this is one of the reasons explaining Haiti's currently military occupation by the UN-led criminal force, MINUSTAH, the largest UN military force in a country that is not at war. It is also the reason for the massive new US embassy in Haiti, the fourth largest US embassy in the world.
"Clinton practically dictates Haitian policy."
And then there's Bill Clinton. Clinton provides the "kind [17]" face of US control of Haiti. With his push to turn Haiti into a Western tourist paradise while Haitians become cheap sweatshop labor [18] for making Western goods, Clinton is the arbiter of a new phase of neoliberalism. Clinton practically dictates Haitian policy. In fact, in one of the more absurd and nepotistic twists of Haiti's political history, Haiti's Prime Minister, Gary Conille, is Clinton's former chief of staff [19]. Conille also has a long family [19] history with the Duvaliers: his father was a minister to Baby Doc. As @dominique_e recently said on twitter, everything is set to "kill Haiti with neoliberalism."
Last week, Glen Ford remarked [20] that in the US media, "Haiti is most often spoken of as a tragedy – when it is actually the scene of horrific crimes, mainly perpetrated by the United States over the span of two centuries." With the puppet, the dictator, and the president on the scene, it is hard to imaging a more sinister cohort guiding Haiti down the path of US exploitation.

Jamaican Observer, May 24, 2009
History is littered with treachery. In the noisome Slough of Dishonour are mired thousands of reputations, most of those who betrayed their own countries, like Pierre Laval, Vidkun Quisling, Jonas Savimbi and Augusto Pinochet.
The deepest pits, though, the most purulent sinks, are reserved for those who have ranged abroad to betray and sabotage strangers, to inflict unnecessary suffering on people who have never given them cause for complaint. People like Leopold of Belgium, Neville Chamberlain, Hitler, Ariel Sharon and George W Bush spring readily to mind. On Monday, former President Clinton announced that he would accept an invitation from the UN secretary general, Ban Ki Moon of South Korea, to become the SG's personal envoy in Haiti. It is an appointment that will end in disaster. I mention Ban Ki Moon's nationality because I believe that the disaster that already exists in Haiti is the result of a culture clash which is entirely incomprehensible to most people outside the Western hemisphere and not easily understood by most people outside the international crime scene that has been created in Haiti.
Ground Zero for Modern Civilisation
It is my contention that the modern world was born in Haiti. When you understand that the modern rotary printing press is a direct descendant of mills made to grind sugar you may begin to get the drift of my argument. Since I am not a historian my arguments will not be subtle and nuanced. I am simply presenting a few crude facts which, however you interpret them, will lead inexorably, I believe, to the conclusion that modern ideas of liberty and freedom, modern capitalism and globalisation of production and exchange, would have spent much longer in gestation had it not been for the black slaves of Haiti who abolished slavery and the slave trade. In the process they defeated the armies of the leading world powers of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, destroyed the French empire in the western hemisphere, doubled the size and power of the United States and incidentally promoted the European sugar beet industry and revolutionised European farming.
The problem with all this, as I have repeatedly pointed out, is that had the Haitians been ethnically European, their achievements would now suffuse the world narrative; conversely, had Spartacus been black, he would long ago have faded into the mists of barbarian myth. The Haitians and all the other blacks of the Western hemisphere were uprooted from their native grounds, their civilisations laid waste, and they themselves transported to unknown lands in which they were forced to create unexampled riches and luxury for their rapists and despoilers.
For reasons lost to history, the blacks in Haiti and Jamaica were, for most of their captivity, the most unwilling subjects and continued to fight for their freedom for more than three centuries. The Enlightenment and its prophets and philosophers popularised the ideas of freedom and liberty, the rights of man. Nowhere was freedom taken more seriously than by the Haitians, who, described as Frenchmen, fought valiantly for American freedom in that nation's Revolutionary War of Independence. When Revolution convulsed France in turn, the Haitians threw their support to those they thought were fighting for freedom. When that proved a false trail, the Haitians continued to fight, defeating the French, British and Spanish armies sent to re-enslave them.
Although the Americans and the French said they believed in freedom, they formed an unholy combination to restrict Haiti's liberty. The fact of Haitian freedom frightened the Americans and other world powers. Haiti promised freedom to any captive who set foot on her soil and armed, provisioned and supplied trained soldiers to Simon Bolivar for the liberation of South America. Nearly 200 years before the United Nations (and France and the USA), Haiti proclaimed Universal Human Rights, threatening the slave societies in America and the Caribbean. Haiti's freedom was compromised by French and American financial blackmail, and as I've said before, what the Atlantic powers could not achieve by force of arms they achieved by compound interest. Haiti was the first heavily indebted poor country, and the United States, Canada, France and the multilateral financial organisations, the World Bank, the InterAmerican Development Bank and the IMF have worked hard to keep her in that bondage.
In this March 10, 2009 file photo, former US President Bill Clinton greets United Nations workers in Port-au-Prince. The United Nations recently named Clinton as its special envoy to Haiti, with a mission to help the impoverished nation achieve some measure of stability after devastating floods and other crises. (Photo: AP) |
Eventually, 93 years ago, the Americans invaded Haiti, destroyed the constitution, the government and their social system. American Jim Crow segregation and injustice destroyed the Haitian middle class, enhanced and exacerbated class distinctions and antagonisms and left Haiti a ravaged, dysfunctional mess, ruled by a corrupt American-trained military in the interest of a small, corrupt gang of mainly expatriate or white capitalists, ready to support any and every murderous dictator who protected their interests.
Finally, 20 years ago, the Haitians rose up and overthrew the Duvaliers and the apprentice dictators who followed. In their first free election the Haitians elected a black parish priest of small stature, the man whose words and spirit had embodied their struggle. But the real rulers of Haiti, the corrupt, bloodthirsty capitalists with their American passports and their bulletproof SUVs, had no intention of letting Haitians exercise the universal human rights their leaders had proclaimed two centuries before.
When Jean Bertrand Aristide was deposed after a few months in office, it was with the help of the CIA, USAID, and other American entities. Then ensued one of the most disgraceful episodes in the long, unsavoury history of diplomacy. Bill Clinton – elected president promising to treat the Haitian refugees as human beings – elected instead to observe the same barbarous policies as George Bush I, and when the refugees became a flood, Clinton's answer was more illegality. He parked two massive floating slave barracoons in Kingston Harbour where refugees picked up in Jamaican waters were, with the craven connivance of the Patterson government, denied asylum, captured and processed and 22 per cent of them selected for the Guantanamo Bay concentration camp while the rest were returned to their murderers in Haiti.
Eventually, largely due to pressure from black pressure groups in the US and crucially, a fast to the death begun by Randall Robinson, Clinton agreed to restore Aristide while General Colin Powell talked grandly of the soldier's honour he shared with Haiti's then murderer-in-chief, a scamp called Raoul Cedras. President Clinton made several pledges to Aristide and to Haiti, but history does not seem to record that any were kept. Had even a few been kept, Haiti may have been able to guarantee public security and to install some desperately needed infrastructure. Instead Haitians are still scooping water to drink from potholes in the street and stave off hunger with 'fritters' made from earth and cooking fat.
The Haitian Army, the most corrupt and evil public institution in the western hemisphere, was abolished by Aristide, to the displeasure of the North American powers. Now that the Americans have deposed Aristide for the second time, security is in the hands of a motley mercenary army, a UN peacekeeping force. Security in Haiti is so good that three years ago, the then head of this force, a Brazilian general, was found shot to death after a friendly chat with Haitian elites. The rapes, massacres, disappearances and kidnappings continue unabated and the only popular political force, the Fanmi Lavalas, has been effectively neutered. President Clinton "will aim to attract private and government investment and aid for the poor Caribbean island nation", according to Clinton's office and a senior UN official. "A UN official said that Clinton would act as a 'cheerleader' for the economically distressed country, cajoling government and business leaders into pouring fresh money into a place that is largely dependent on foreign assistance."
It all sounds so nice and cozy, a poor, black 'hapless' nation under the tutelage of the rich and civilised of the earth. I am prepared to bet that neither Haitian democracy nor Bill Clinton's reputation will survive this appointment. Democracy is impossible without popular participation and decision making. In Haiti, democracy is impossible without Lavalas and Aristide. If Haiti itself is to survive, the UN General Assembly needs to seize this baton from the spectacularly unqualified and ignorant Security Council and its very nice and affable secretary general, even less attuned to Haitian reality than the last SG, Kofi Annan and his accomplices, Colin Powell, Condoleezza Rice, PJ Patterson and Patrick Manning.

Bill Clinton Named New UN Envoy to 'Stabilize' Haiti, a Country He Helped Destabilize May 19, 2009

As president, Clinton forced neoliberal policies on Haiti, delayed President Aristide's return after a US-backed coup and held Haitian refugees at Gitmo without rights.
Shining such a spotlight on those who created the instability, as Concannon suggests, would mean examining Clinton's own role as president of the US during one of Haiti's most horrifyingly dark periods.
Reuters news agency quotes a diplomat as saying Clinton is "an 'excellent choice' to help unlock Haiti's potential as an investment target," adding that his appointment "could attract investment in the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation and help stabilize the country."
That last statement about "stabiliz[ing]" Haiti would be humorous for its irony if the reality—and Clinton's history in Haiti—wasn't so deadly serious. The fact is that, as US president, Clinton's policies helped systematically destabilize Haiti.
Dan Coughlin, who spent years as a journalist in Haiti in the 1990s for Inter Press Service, said he was "incredulous" when he heard the news. "Given the Clinton Administration's aggressive pursuit of policies that profitted Haiti's tiny elite, the IMF and big corporations at the expense of Haiti's farmers and urban workers, the appointment does not bode well for the kind of fundamental change so needed in a country that has given so much to humankind," Coughlin says.
In September 1991, the US backed the violent overthrow of the government of Haiti's democratically-elected leftist priest President Jean Bertrand Aristide after he was in power less than a year. Aristide had defeated a US-backed candidate in the 1990 Haitian presidential election. The military coup leaders and their paramilitary gangs of CIA-backed murderous thugs, including the notorious FRAPH paramilitary units, were known for hacking the limbs off of Aristide supporters (and others) along with an unending slew of other horrifying crimes.
When Clinton came to power, he played a vicious game with Haiti that allowed the coup regime to continue rampaging Haiti and further destabilized the country. What's more, in the 1992 election campaign, Bill Clinton campaigned on a pledge to reverse what he called then-President George HW Bush's "cruel policy" of holding Haitian refugees at Guantanamo with no legal rights in US courts. Upon his election, however, Clinton reversed his position and sided with the Bush administration in denying the Haitians legal rights. the Haitians were held in atrocious conditions and the new Democratic president was sued by the Center for Constitutional Rights (sound familiar?).
While Clinton and his advisers publicly expressed their dismay with the coup, they simultaneously refused to support the swift reinstatement of the country's democratically elected leader and would, in fact, not allow Aristide's return until Washington received guarantees that: 1. Aristide would not lay claim to the years of his presidency lost in forced exile and; 2. US neoliberal economic plans were solidified as the law of the land in Haiti.
"The Clinton administration was credited for working for the return to power of Jean Bertrand Aristide after he was overthrown in a military coup," says author William Blum. "But, in fact, Clinton had stalled the return for as long as he could, and had instead tried his best to return anti-Aristide conservatives to a leading power role in a mixed government, because Aristide was too leftist for Washington's tastes." Blum's book "Killing Hope: US Military and CIA Interventions Since World War II" includes a chapter on the history of the US role in Haiti.
The fact that the coup against the democratically-elected president of Haiti was allowed to continue unabated for three full years seemed to be less offensive to Clinton than Aristide's progressive vision for Haiti. As Blum observed in his book, "[Clinton] was not actually repulsed by [coup leader Raoul] Cédras and company, for they posed no ideological barrier to the United States continuing the economic and strategic control of Haiti it's maintained for most of the century. Unlike Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a man who only a year earlier had declared: 'I still think capitalism is a mortal sin.'"
Blum added: "Faced ultimately with Aristide returning to power, Clinton demanded and received — and then made sure to publicly announce — the Haitian president's guarantee that he would not try to remain in office to make up for the time lost in exile. Clinton of course called this 'democracy,' although it represented a partial legitimization of the coup." Indeed, Haiti experts say that Clinton could have restored Aristide to power under an almost identical arrangement years earlier than he did.
When Aristide finally returned to Haiti, as Blum notes, "Jean-Bertrand Aristide's reception was a joyous celebration filled with optimism. However, unbeknownst to his adoring followers, while they were regaining Aristide, they may have lost Aristidism."
As The Los Angeles Times reported at the time:
In a series of private meetings, Administration officials admonished Aristide to put aside the rhetoric of class warfare … and seek instead to reconcile Haiti's rich and poor. The Administration also urged Aristide to stick closely to free-market economics and to abide by the Caribbean nation's constitution — which gives substantial political power to the Parliament while imposing tight limits on the presidency. … Administration officials have urged Aristide to reach out to some of his political opponents in setting up his new government … to set up a broad-based coalition regime. … the Administration has made it clear to Aristide that if he fails to reach a consensus with Parliament, the United States will not try to prop up his regime. Almost every aspect of Aristide's plans for resuming power — from taxing the rich to disarming the military — has been examined by the U.S. officials with whom the Haitian president meets daily and by officials from the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund and other aid organizations. The finished package clearly reflects their priorities. … Aristide obviously has toned down the liberation theology and class-struggle rhetoric that was his signature before he was exiled to Washington.
"While Bill Clinton oversaw the return of President Aristide in 1994, he also put significant constraints on what Aristide was able to do once back in power," says Bill Fletcher, Jr, the Executive Editor of BlackCommentator.com and the immediate past president of TransAfrica Forum. "Clinton advanced a neo-liberal agenda for Haiti thereby undermining the efforts of an otherwise progressive populist administration (Aristide's). There is no reason to believe that [as a UN envoy] ex-President Clinton will introduce or support efforts to radically break Haiti from under the thumb of the USA and the dire poverty which has been a significant consequence of said domination."

We spent a beautiful day up in Bass Lake on Saturday. We traveled through the quaint towns of Oakhurst and Coarsegold where we say a couple of people panning for gold in the stream which was really cool.
We went to Ducey's Bar & Grill for a really nice lunch out on the patio overlooking the lake. The lake is full and there were many boats out on the water, even this early in the season. The food is great at the restaurant, I had the Bass Lake Queen chicken sandwich, served with a huge side of onion rings and strawberry lemonade.
We walked out on the marina, then relaxed by the lake and did some reading for a couple of hours before returning to Oakhust to the Elderberry House to wine taste. We sampled four different red wines, two local and two from Napa Valley. All were very good. We then had our first batch of Syrah critiqued from the Sommelier at the Elderberry House. He said it was "very good" and was impressed. He samples over 200/day so we were happy with that comment. If you don't want to spend $84/pp for dinner, the Elderberry House now has a bistro dining on the weekends from 5:30-9:00 which we hope to try soon. This is a gorgeous time of year to travel to this area. Cheers! :) www.chateausureau.com and www.basslake.com

A couple of years ago I was coaching our towns all-star team in the state championship game. The umpire behind the plate ?? Harry Weiner. The kids laughed so hard. Even better, his wife's name ? ... Ada True story, you can't make this stuff up.
:lmao2: :lmao: I literally can't stop laughing, it's to the point of crying. I don't know how those new folks report this with a straight face.
It seems to me that the first lady interviewed is clearly in favor of Harry Baals. I hate to say it out loud, but reality has finally caught up with The Onion. :laugh1:
rofl, you know they had to of gotten a lot of that out of their system before being able to talk about that with a straight face. I liked how the news reporter kept saying it throughout the whole thing even though they said they had changed the pronunciation of it. I counted 7 Baals throughout that video. Also notice how they said he was the longest serving mayor and this would make them the butt of jokes. Wonder if that was intended, lol.

The auditor-general has refused to back the Government's claims that its actions were vindicated in a report on a decision to select SkyCity as preferred bidder for a convention centre.
Appearing before the finance and expenditure select committee, deputy Auditor-General Phillippa Smith said the report had established deficiencies in process on the part of both ministers and officials.
When the report was released, the Government claimed it vindicated its own actions.
Asked directly if this was the case, Smith said the report spoke for itself.
''That fact that [the report] took 50 or 60 pages suggests that nothing was entirely clear cut. We have said that we found problems with the process that was adopted and so I think the report speaks for itself.''
Her investigation, released in February found no evidence that ''inappropriate considerations'' such as political connections played a part in the decision to choose to negotiate with SkyCity, and that shoddy process probably did not affect the outcome.
However, it criticised meetings between Beehive staff and SkyCity which took place when senior ministers had already agreed to seek expressions of interest from the market.
It also revealed an information imbalance, with SkyCity explicitly told that the Government wanted to invest no cash in the building of the convention centre, and that it may be offered regulatory relief, something not shared with other bidders.
Yesterday Smith said the SkyCity deal, along with another report on the conduct or former Associate Immigration Minister Shane Jones, demonstrated the importance of transparency and proper process in public affairs.
''In the public sector ... processes not only have to be right, they've to be seen to be right and when they're not that creates the environment where allegations of bad practice and worse can flourish.''
Today Prime Minister John Key maintained that the auditor-general's report vindicated the Government.
''The assertion that was made by the Green Party and the Labour Party was that there was A, a shonky deal, and B, I was intimately involved and my actions were inappropriate,'' he said.
''All of which was covered in phase one of the auditor-general's report, for which she said absolutely, the totally correct process was followed.''
Green Party co-leader Russel Norman said the report had showed the process was not even-handed, and asked if businesses seeking government contracts would want things to be done this way.
Smith said she expected they would not, which related to trust in government.
''That you know when your turn comes, whichever government institution you're dealing with will treat you fairly, transparently and without favouritism.''

Article Free PassKielce, city, capital of Świętokrzyskie województwo (province), southeastern Poland, lying in the Świętokrzyskie ("Holy Cross") Mountains. Kielce is located on the Warsaw-Kraków rail line and is a major industrial centre that has metallurgical, machine-making, building materials, and food-production facilities.
First chronicled in the late 11th century, the market town obtained municipal rights in 1360. It developed as an industrial and religious centre for the area, being held as an episcopal property from the 14th to the 16th century. Passing to Austria in 1795, it was freed during the Napoleonic Wars and then came under Russian control. In 1918 it was returned to Poland. During World War II, four German extermination camps were located there.
Mining has long played an important role in the economy of Świętokrzyskie province, which has significant deposits of limestone, marble, marls, and dolomites. Kielce was the site of Poland's first technical university, the Academy of Mining, founded in 1816 primarily through the efforts of Stanisław Staszic. Although it was short-lived (it closed in 1827), the academy was the forerunner of AGH University of Science and Technology in Kraków. Education has remained central to life in Kielce, which is home to about a dozen institutions of higher learning, including Kielce University of Technology and Jan Kochanowski University of Humanities and Sciences. Other knowledge-based institutions include the Kielce Technology Park and the Design Center Kielce. The Targi Kielce exhibition and conference centre is one of the largest such facilities in Poland. Kielce also hosts an international fashion design contest and show, Off Fashion.
The city contains a Baroque bishop's palace (1637–41), now housing the National Museum in Kielce, and a 17th-century cathedral (built 1632–35; rebuilt 19th century). Kielce Cultural Centre is the home of the Oskar Kolberg Philharmonic. The city and surrounding area offer ample opportunities for recreational activities, including biking, skiing, and horseback riding. Pop. (2002) 212,429; (2007 est.) 206,796.

FRANKFURT, Germany — As a week of market turmoil ended Friday, an increasing number of economists and policymakers were calling for an unprecedented solution to combat Europe's debt crisis: a new joint bond backed by all countries using the euro.
Eurobonds would be a dramatic step toward the economic integration of the European Union, and are billed by supporters as an overnight solution to the crisis.
But the idea is being strongly resisted by Germany, which as the most credit-worthy European country fears it would face higher borrowing costs and more risks if it had to borrow jointly with financially shaky nations.
This week's stock market plunges and rising fears about previously immune economies such as Italy and France created new momentum behind the idea.
British Treasury chief George Osborne, whose country is not in the eurozone but trades extensively with it, called Thursday for serious consideration of eurobonds. Billionaire investor George Soros joined the eurobonds chorus on Friday, saying that Germany and other financially solid countries "must agree on a eurobond regime, however defined. Otherwise the euro will collapse."
Along with German objections, proposals for eurobonds face economic and legal hurdles. Opponents say it would run afoul of a caluse in the treaty governing the European Union that forbids it from assuming responsibility for countries' debts.
They charge that despite numerous proposed safeguards such as strict debt limits or parliamentary scrutiny, eurobonds could not prevent shaky countries from riding for free on the credit of solid ones.
Eurobond supporters say those concerns are outweighed by worries that a €440 billion euro bailout fund — big enough to rescue small countries such as Greece, Portugal and Ireland — would need more money to save Italy or Spain. That could strain the finances of contributor countries German and France.
Those supporters now include Belgian Finance Minister Didier Reynders, German Social Democratic opposition leader Sigmar Gabriel, Italian Finance Minister Guilio Tremonti, and Luxembourg Prime Minister Jean-Claude Juncker, who heads the eurozone's finance ministers' group.
The European Commission, the EU's executive body, is studying the feasibility of eurobonds at the request of the European Parliament, although given opposition from Germany it is unlikely to be put forward as a solution when German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Nicolas Sarkozy meet in Paris over the crisis on Tuesday.
The basic principle behind eurobonds is that European countries would guarantee each other's debts, so that investors would see the bonds as super-safe and loan at low interest rates. That would prevent individual countries from being hit with market fears of default, and then with the unaffordable interest rates that have driven Greece, Ireland, and Portugal to seek bailouts from the eurozone countries and the International Monetary Fund.
Eurobonds would "solve the problems we have right now overnight," argues German economist Peter Bofinger, member of an economic council that advises the German government.
"As soon as countries like Italy or Greece and Portugal can issue eurobonds, they can always get the money they need from the markets and they will get it at low rates," said Bofinger. "And so the risk that the country becomes insolvent and that German taxpayers have to guarantee Italian or Irish bonds goes to zero."
The key, even supporters say, is finding a safeguard against one country getting in trouble and simply dumping its debts on the others, or simply enjoying low interest rates at the group's expense while spending too much.

A functional tie rod end is a very important steering component of your Hyundai Tucson. Every time you move the wheel, the Hyundai Tucson tie rod end relays the pressure into the knuckle unit, allowing the wheels to move properly. Do not be surprised if this part breaks sooner or later even if it's made of a top-caliber material.
Enough amount of grease must be applied on the tie rod end of your Hyundai Tucson. Not enough oil exposes it to too much heat, which can lead to annoying sounds every time the car rod is forced too much. Excessive tire wear also mean a broken tie rod end so be quite sure to look out for these symptoms. To prevent road accidents when driving your Hyundai Tucson, change busted Hyundai Tucson tie rod ends. Always choose brand-new OE replacements for genuine durability you can depend on for many years.
AC Delco, Mevotech, and Raybestos are a few of the Hyundai Tucson tie rod end part manufacturers found in our product catalog. Shop here to enjoy amazing discounts that come with fast shipping, round-the-clock customer assistance, and safe and secure online payment options!

Hookworm Infection in Dogs & Cats
Hookworms have a direct life cycle meaning that they do not necessarily need a host to be transmitted. In pets, hookworm ova(egg) are passed in the host's feces and develop to the first larval stage if the temperature and humidity are adequate. Ova can hatch in 10-12 hours at 30 degrees centigrade and in 9 hours at 37 degrees centigrade. Infection can occur via ingestion or skin penetration(commonly infested thru the feet) followed by a pulmonary migration, a developmental stage in the gastric glands, or an arrested state in the muscular tissue in older animals. Migration and maturation occur in 17 days. Transport hosts, especially rodents, may play a role in the transmission of this parasite.
Clinical signs may be one or more of the following:
1. Intestinal blood loss causing anemia
2. Bloody diarrhea
3. Weight loss
4. Poor hair coat
Young dogs and cats are affected more severely,since they are less able to cope with depleted iron reserves.
Hookworms are diagnosed by fecal flotation(Veterinarian). The ova are unembryonated and must be taken from a fresh specimen since they hatch rapidly in warm weather. Therefore, unless you are going to the veterinarian quickly it is best to refrigerate stool samples or better yet have the vet extract the stool sample at their office. Your pet may not like that idea but it will yield the more accurate result.
There are many de-wormers available over-the-counter but they contain medications that are designed to "flush out" the parasite. But as the name implies, Hookworms hook onto the intestinal wall and "do not come off without a fight". Many pets experience mild to severe distress because of these de-wormers. These de-wormers were used by veterinarians decades ago, but veterinary medicine has come a long way since then.
Today, many anthelmintics are effective against hookworms in both dogs and cats. An aggressive treatment and prevention program as defined by your veterinarian normally entails two initial treatments 2 weeks apart(killing the hatched eggs and before they can hatch again and reproduce administering a second dose), plus an aggressive preventive program. Since the medication can only kill whats in the system monthly checkups for 3-4 months are needed until a pattern of negative tests results are established. Because of the life-cycle of the hookworm, monthly combo preventative can help control but not usually eliminate the problem.
Also, it is extremely important to thoroughly clean and disinfect the affected areas. If this is not feasible walk your pet in a different area and if possible away from where other pets go. ALWAYS, pick up after your pet goes to the bathroom to minimize the chance of reinfection.
The most important aspect of hookworms is that they could pose a health hazard to humans. Especially if you have children, it is imperative to keep on top of the situation and have your pet regularly tested. In humans, hookworms causes cutaneous larval migrans. The parasite can penetrate human skin and cause a linear, tortous, erythematous, and pruritic dermatitis(kids are more susceptible). Therefore, if you own a pet good hygiene, prevention and management of stool area should be #1 on your list.
