NOVANEWS By Norris McDonald Jamaica Gleaner Haiti is back in the news with popular revolts against political corruption. Ordinary Haitians are being frustrated every step of the way as they strive to enjoy a better quality of life as is their right. The discovery of a huge US$20 billion gold reserve in Haiti is no panacea since gold mining has always been surrounded by intrigue, skullduggery, and, perhaps, international plunder and piracy. Americans, Canadians, and politically well-connected present and past Haitian political leaders stand to reap vast profits from the apparent plundering of Haitian gold. Haitian workers, meanwhile, are paid a measly US$6.25 a day for working in the muddy, gold-mining pits. Political Background The historical evolution of Haitian society has bee...

NOVANEWS By Dady Chery News Junkie Post The Heritage Foundation came forward on September 20, 2018 to set the rules for Haiti’s PetroCaribe investigation and protests.  Most Haitians are delighted about any audit of the corrupt government that was foisted on them by the fraudulent presidential and legislative 2015-2016 elections.

Because it’s been ripped off non-stop for over two hundreds years right up to the present day with the Clintons currently leading the looting. https://youtu.be/Ilrov7zg6-4?t=322

NOVANEWS By Dady Chery Haiti Chery What happens in Haiti doesn’t stay in Haiti. Sooner or later, it comes to places like Michigan’s Benton Harbor and Flint. Our destinies are linked. Zbigniew Brzezinski, a Polish aristocrat who long puppeteered United States presidents from behind the curtains, has written: “America is too democratic at home to be autocratic abroad. This limits the use of America’s power, especially its capacity for military intimidation.” I concur. As long as the US attempts to dominate the world and continues to dispense the violence commensurate with this ambition, it cannot expect to practice democracy at home. Zbigniew Brzezinski Mr. Brzezinski reasoned that the main impediment to imperial ambitions is that people will not willingly get killed in wars of c...
