Bwa Kayiman 2007 and the case of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, by Ezili Dantò, Haitian Perspectives, August 23, 2007 for the FreeHaitiMovement

"...Black suffering and death (in Haiti) meant white profits and sweets...an
axiom commonly used in France at the time of the French Revolution: "The Ivory Coast is a good mother." What that meant was slavery and brutality was good for business! ...History is important; it teaches us why things are the way they are. It teaches not only about yesterday, but about today."

Bwa Kayiman 2007 and the case of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine

The Two Most Common Neocolonial Storylines about Haiti

I was just reading news articles on Haiti as I do every morning and came across an article about some Tallahassee students from Florida, who got stranded in Haiti because of Hurricane Dean. Here are some of the major points made in the article:

"They sent relief flights to other Caribbean countries. They wouldn't send any to Haiti due to so-called 'civil unrest,' Shamair Coward, an FSU student, said about the airlines.

“Even though (the five U.S. students) didn't see any civil unrest in the country where they had been offering medical assistance, they were stranded....But, their experience changed them and each said they will return. Lewin, Coward and Ruscher said they couldn't adequately convey the level of poverty they witnessed.

"The vast majority of the people were just trying to get through the day," Lewin said. "You can never judge people by your perceptions or the reality of your life. Most people are exactly like you."

“The Rotary-sponsored Rotaract Club went to Haiti as part of Project Medishare - a nonprofit organization serving Haiti's Central Plateau region with basic health-care needs. The trip was Rotaract Club's first service project. Haiti's mountains saved them from Hurricane Dean. "Thank God the hurricane didn't hit Haiti," Ruscher said.

She said she felt bad for areas that got hit. She didn't see how Haiti's village of Thomonde with its stick-like houses and no doors could weather a Category 5 hurricane.

"They didn't have anything but they were proud of what they have," Ruscher said.

"In a world where there's so much advancement and technology, people are still just looking for food to eat," she said." (See, "Trip to Haiti changes students" By Angeline Taylor)

There are perhaps two common stories about Haiti that are retold ad nausea:

One is, the convenient black-on-black crime dismissal where the manipulated Haiti image displays the fighting "troubled" Haitians with the "winner take all politics and attitudes" who won't allow Western countries to help them modernized and who are continually killing each other in "civil unrest" and who simply cannot absorb foreign aid or effectively use the generous help provided by the benevolent, heroic and wealthier U.S./Euro white world.

The Tallahassee students' article ("Trip to Haiti changes students") is a good example of the second common news story on the "needy (and pitiful but proud) Haitians" of Haiti.

That article tells the perpetual story of the poor, pitiful, proud and victimized Haitians and of the young, innocent, compassionate white American come to “do good” in Haiti. It's a true article and I've read a thousand of them with different faces, same storyline on Haiti.

One group is heroic and self-less (the aid racket group). The other grouping is helpless and proud victim and forever shall that be, as is intended, by the powers always not allowing there to be any relief from these pre-ordained roles and the racists and cultural biases it extends about Haitians from the time Haitians chose Africa instead of Europe at Bwa Kayiman, on August 14, 1791.

What such stories don't tell, is most important. Why didn't American Airlines send relief flights to Haiti? Why didn't the journalist question American Airlines on this "civil unrest" their claiming, when the eyewitness - the students in the story - say, they "didn't see any civil unrest in the country." Why didn't the journalist report on the hundreds of Haitians with tickets from American Airlines, living abroad, who were stranded with no way of getting back to their families, children, work and livelihoods abroad and who, as a result of American Airlines' failure to send relief flights to Haiti, lost their jobs, suffered unendurably and were irreversibly affected by American Airlines' malevolence? (9 Haitians dead, one disappearance 25 injured in Hurricane Dean; No other national group anywhere in the world sends money home in higher proportion than Haitians living abroad.)

Is Haitian life so valueless that the reporting journalist can comfortably report on the white students' "do-good" works, compassion and "suffering from being stranded in Haiti", but not even inquire about the Haitians who actually died, lost homes, livelihoods, saved and rescued each other during the storm? Why isn't there even one line to mention those Haitians living abroad, also visiting Haiti, come to serve their own sister, brothers, friends and relatives, but who, having no money or Rotary Club to help defray their extra expenses, suffered comparatively much, much more from the ravages of Hurricane Dean, but who will be back again, next month, regardless of American Airlines' humiliating them year after year, voyage after voyage, while always taking their monies, always providing racist and unprofessional service to Black Haiti and Haitians? Why ignore that the students went for the fun, challenge, adventure and the boost in serotonin-consumption and the Haitians went because dignity and survival requires it and mostly they must take care of family.

Because such inquiries wouldn't assist the feel-good for-one-group point of the story; because the truth about Haiti's pain and the profit-over-people-white-folks, the poverty pimps and their black overseers, who masturbate on Haiti's Black pain is not what these stories want to convey.

Moreover, these stories won't convey this: how the poverty in Haiti is induced by their own mean-spirited powerful Western governments. How there are more "compassionate" NGOs in Haiti than anywhere else in the world. How this aid has never changed the storylines for Haiti.

For there are constant stories such as this, where compassionate Westerners go to Haiti for the first time, are "changed," become "more compassionate" and are compelled to "return to Haiti to-do-more-good." Yet, Haiti's containment in poverty has gone on, for the majority of Haitians, for over two hundred years.

And, as the article points out: "In a world where there's so much advancement and technology, people are still just looking for food to eat."

What is going on?

Why, if there are more NGO's and such charitable non-profit organizations concentrated in Haiti than anywhere else in the world? Why, if these compassionate Westerners are continually returning to do "good" in Haiti, for over 200-years, have there not been any significant advancements made and the vast majority of Haitians in Haiti are poor and still just looking for food to eat?

Because only the wilfully blind or naïve believe that whitefolks agenda in Haiti has anything to do with promoting democracy, development, compassion, freedom of expression and good governance.

Because the same ruling and "civilized white" folks who wouldn't send relief flights to Haiti so these U.S. students could get home are the same mindsets of peoples who own the countries Haiti had beat in combat and who still extend their wrath on Haitians whether it is to refuse to send relief flights after a hurricane or by their 33 negative foreign interventions to destroy whatever structures Haitians had built, sponsoring themselves those civil unrest/coup d'etats on Haiti to continue to punish Haitians in all sorts of ways and thereby maintain those two storylines intact, until eternity comes.

Haiti is always being belittled and ostracized by those powers. (See, Media Lies and Real Haiti News).

The neocolonial storylines serve and reinforce the white settlers' Tarzan/Superman mythical compassion, sacrifice and heroism towards needy Black Haitians/Africans and to blunt and obfuscate the truth of U.S./Euro corporate, governmental and imperial bullying, injustice and barbarity in Haiti. These storylines extend white hypocrisy to the nth degree, fostering the "godliness" of the Westerner convincing himself he bore the brunt of the ravages of Haiti's struggles and "helped" the needy Haitians. When the uncomplicated truth is that it's white systemic tyranny, ethnocentricity and neocolonialism and its consequences of underdevelopment in Haiti that leaves Haitians without access, opportunity and the material structures to protect themselves against acts of nature such as Hurricane Dean. Nowhere in these storylines will you learn how the U.S. citizen's individual compassion (sincere as it may well be for some) extends dependency, paternalism and co-exists and is vastly overwhelmed by the white settlers' official and systemic, political, military, diplomatic, media and corporate tyranny and economic exploitation of Haiti and Haitians.

But Haitians are not as pitiful as being trumpeted by these neocolonial storylines. For, it may be observed that Haitians are so powerful that the greatest superpowers on earth and their mainstream medias spend their printing space spreading these two storylines and half truths on Haiti, in willing efforts, to ignore, diminish and re-cast Haiti's noble David-against-Goliath-Herculean struggle. (See, I pay this price for you and US False Benevolence in Haiti.*)

This reality also brings to mind that we are in the month of August and that August 14, 2007 marked the anniversary of the ceremony that began the Haitian revolution where Haitians forever changed world history, annihilated (for a time) those two storylines and broke their chains themselves, found “relief flights” for themselves. It reminds me that though Haiti still suffers for that great feat everyday, and in a myriad of ways, it can never actually be undone.

Part 2
Remembering the price Haitians pay for saving themselves-Remembering Lovinsky Pierre Antoine and Boukman's Prayer

To remember why these Western storylines still exist, why tiny Haiti is under such a brutal Western occupation today...and, to recall and celebrate it is because we Dessalines-Haitians are STILL who we are, every August, Èzili's Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network ("HLLN") re-post Boukman's Prayer at Bwa Kayiman and commemorates Bwa Kayiman for the FreeHaitiMovement.
(https://lists.riseup.net/www/arc/ezilidanto/2006-08/msg00001.html)

This August, we also take the opportunity to thank all those who are standing up for Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, a tireless Haitian human rights advocate who went missing on August 12, 2007. (Who benefits from silencing and eliminating Lovinsky Pierre Antoine? - HLLN continues its coverage and analysis of the abduction of Lovinksy Pierre Antoine in Haiti; It's Neither Hope nor Progress When the International Community is Running Haiti.)

As it happens, this past August 14, 2007, HLLN was busy working on getting information to share with the Network on Lovinsky's disappearance. Today we catch up by featuring bothLovinsky Pierre Antoine and Ceremony Bwa Kayiman in this annual HLLN post.

And ask, once again, for all of you receiving this email to write, fax, call, insist, tell whoever it is that is trying to silence this Haitian voice, tell whoever it is who has taken Lovinsky Pierre Antoine that an international audience deeply concerned about the fate of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine is witnessing their actions. Help HLLN raise the international concern and visibility of this human rights violation case. Help save the life of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, stop his torture, prevent his execution by the traditional imperialist powers so fearful of Black sovereignty and authentic Haitianist development.

Part 3
Bwa Kayiman
On August 14, 1791, a Vodun ceremony was held in Haiti at Bwa Kayiman that began the successful Haitian revolution and got rid of both European enslavement of Africans in Haiti and colonialism. The word "Vodun" means "sacred energies" in the Fon African language. It was at Bwa Kayiman that a "lwa," meaning "an irreducible essence," called “Ezili Dantò” and known in Haitian mythology and in the Vodun living religion, as the mother warrior/love goddess, danced in the head of a Haitian priestess named Cecile Fatiman who presided at that great gathering of the amalgamated African tribes in Haiti. (Èzili Dantò 1971 bio; Haiti Epistemology; The Divine Mother - Ezili Dantò, Asset, Isis.)

Below, after Boukman's Prayer, are monologues on Bwa Kayiman, written by Èzili Dantò, president of the Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network (HLLN), writer and award winning performance poet. (Carnegie Hall clip; Red, Black & Moonlight video reel; and Red, Black & Moonlight: Memoir of a Poet (Special Edition) - A Burnt Offering to the Ancestors ).

Nou lèd, nou la - we are ugly to the white settlers, but we are still here.

Nou La. Nou pap bay legen!

Lovinsky Pierre Antoine's work shall be taken up by a thousand other Haitians. No compassionate white settler (no matter how sincere, aware/unaware); no poverty-NGO-or-Western-governmental-pimps may ever supplant the noble life force of Haitians like Makandal, Boukman, Kapwa Lamò, Dessalines, Defile, Mari Jann, Toya, Charlemagne Peralte, Dred Wilmè... and all Haitians who rescue themselves, paid and are paying the ultimate price to rescue the dignity of the Africans in Haiti from the systemic brutality, tyranny and even "good intentions" of the white settlers.

One day, the new Rochambeaus shall bow and recognize.

But Haitians don't live for that day. No. In this season, like Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, we are disappeared, ostracized, kidnapped**, belittled or summarily executed as "bandits" and "gangsters" by the Western authorities and their black overseers for claiming our humanity, right to self-reliance, self-defense, self-determination, equitable economic distribution and freedom from Western definitions, development and "rescue". If the Vodun Lwa yo- irreducible human essences - could be disappeared, ostracized, kidnapped, belittled or summarily executed as bandits and gangsters, Dessalines' Haitians would, in this unendurably cruel season in time, have good cause to be worried.

Contradictions, paradoxes, dichotomies, the non-linear and serpentine path are our forte, don't immobilize most Haitians and give us an aneurysm as it seems to give the white settlers putting forward these facile, self-serving, un-nuanced ejaculations on Haiti and on the American narratives about the Westerners' shadow-less, un-biased and compassionate interactions with Black Haiti. Generally Haitians have always seen how liberty, brotherhood, equality and democracy exist alongside or even in virtually the same space as slavery, genocide, exclusion, exploitation, intolerance and tyranny - notably Black enslavement, exploitation and disenfranchisement in the Americas. This is what Ezili's HLLN calls "Bourgeoisie Freedom." And, from Bwa Kayiman to now, Haitians have rejected this structure of human interaction, governance and communication. Haitians, as a people, struggle to transform this below, knowing no matter the misery, loss and suffering in time, that out of time, Nan Ginen, our safety lies - lives- wholly unformed by any storylines, (even our own), since before this "New World's" time began.

Handling the contradictions, issuing from source and traveling the serpentine path, that road less traveled, it is our own disinherited Ancestors, both literally and allegorically, own divinity, own gods and goddesses, brothers, sisters, our own umbilical chords to pre-colonial Africa and living Vodun deities - irreducible spirits and natural elements - that Haitians depend on for inspiration, comfort, rescue and salvation from the ravages of the U.S./Euros' "New World" and merciless narratives.

Haiti's founding father, General Jean Jacques (Janjak) Dessalines did what Spartacus couldn't and no real Haitian will ever be stripped of that knowledge.

Climbing misery's cliffs, is what Haitians are good at, and while this daily live-or-die struggle against white officialdom's inhumanity and hypocrysy -mouths speaking peace, hands conducting oppression and exploitation- uses all of a Haitian's skill and energy, it also, paradoxically renders Haitians more compassionate towards white fear of losing dominance even in tiny Haiti, restores our strength; our belief in ourselves as white officialdom's most fearless survivors and living opponents. Haitians in the outback like to say we invented resistance and that the tyrant can do a lot with a bayonet, except sit on it.

9 dead, 25 injured in Haiti due to Hurricane Dean| Chinaview.cn | August 23, 2007

SANTO DOMINGO, Aug. 22 (Xinhua) -- Hurricane Dean has now left 9 people dead, 25 injured and one missing in Haiti, Haitian authorities said on Wednesday.
The storm has also destroyed 1,167 homes, left 8,244 homeless and caused serious damage to the nation's agriculture, the authorities said.

The worst hit area in Haiti was Chardonieres in the south, where three people were killed, the biggest death toll in any single region.

Dean also killed six people in the Dominican Republic, two in Dominica, two in Jamaica and one in St. Lucia.

Dean reached the Mexican area of Tecolutla in the eastern state of Veracruz on Wednesday. It is expected to reach Mexico's Western Sierra Madre and cause rains in 20 of Mexico's 32 states. There were no reports of death in Mexico so far.

1. The Action Alert LAGE LOVINSKY! - FREE LOVINSKY, from Site Soley's Fondasyon Kolezepol Pou Sove Ti Moun we received for dissemination to our international audience, from the tireless Haitian activist and journalist, Jeanristil Jean-Baptiste of Fondasyon Kolezepol Pou Sove Ti Moun, direct from Site Soley,
Haiti;

2. The Action Alert on Lovinsky being disseminated by the wonderful folks at TASSC International - the Torture Abolition and Survivors Support Coalition (go to http://www.tassc.org/ ); and,

3. A two-part interview with Lovinsky Pierre Antoine entitled "Sovereignty and Justice in Haiti" by Darren Ell dated February 18, 2007 and March 4, 2007.

Maximum respect and a heart-felt thank you Jeanristil Jean Baptise and everyone from Site Soley at Fondasyon Kolezepol Pou Sove Ti Moun for trusting Ezili's HLL Network to duly disseminate this Action Alert and this very representative grass-roots concern from a respected and indefatigable voice and advocate of the Haitian masses and poor folks in the populous neighborhoods who NEVER get an international hearing. We urge all in our Network to listen to FondasyonKolezepol's call and act now. Thank you Jeanristil Jean-Baptise for the numbers to the relevant Haiti authorities dealing with Lovinsky's case whose ears we must have.

Maximum respect and a heart-felt thank you to TASSC International, especially the heroic torture survivor, Sister Dianna Ortiz and, TASSC International's entire membership for their expressed concern about Lovinsky Pierre Antoine and for answering HLLN's call for an international spotlight to be shined on his disappearance. HLLN would be grateful if more such organizations would follow sister Dianna's lead and post an alert to educate their members about the disappearance and abduction of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine and other such HLLN issues and campaigns to set Haiti free from UN "peacekeepers". Lovinsky, before he was silenced was calling for sovereignty and justice in Haiti. Please consider contact Ezili's HLLN at erzilidanto@yahoo.com to add our issues and campaigns to your justice and peace coalitions.

Ezili's HLLN also takes this opportunity to thank the Peninsula Chapter of the Women's International League for Peace and Freedom for their thoughful and kind e-mail of support, applauding HLLN's efforts and concern for Lovinsky and consistent concern and efforts to expose the reprehensible treatment Haitian civilians are receiving from U.N. "peacekeepers."

Last, but not least, HLLN would like to thank all those others in the HLL Network who are sending us copies of the letters, faxes and e-mails sent out to urge the authorities to use all resources to find Lovinsky alive, set him free.

Please keep writing folks. Be sure to also send copies to the major medias and your local media outlet.

Who benefits from silencing and eliminating Lovinsky Pierre Antoine?

The Darren Ell interviews with Lovinsky Pierre Antoine gives a clear idea of who would benefit if this powerful Haitian voice for Haitian sovereignty and justice was to be abducted and thus SILENCED one way or the other, as was done with President Jean Bertrand Aristide and as is done everyday to the Haitian masses, by the international mainstream/coup d'etat medias who have virtually remained silent on the missing Lovinsky Pierre Antoine and customarily only spin the facts on Haiti to fit the American narrative - generally promoting the racist and anti-democratic views and positions of the tiny Haitian economic elites and Bush Neocons, wrapping it up with their institutional credibility and "journalistic" credential to sell to their unwary readers as Haiti's national view and story. (See, LA Times on a Haitian Army - An example of how LA Times spin the truth, manipulates information, promotes the views of the Haitian elites and selling to their unwary readers as the "Haiti's view"
http://www.margueritelaurent.com/pressclips/sitesoley.html#hubris ).

In the first interview below, Lovinsky Pierre Antoine recounts how Luis Moreno from the US Embassy attempted to set him up to be murdered at the airport by the bloody Guy Phillip paramilitaries and former army officials during the course of the US-sponsored 2004 coup d'etat/civil unrest against the Haitian people.

This is the same Luis Moreno from the US Embassy who, with American Special Forces, corralled President Aristide into a plane to the Central African Republic, like he and Haiti's first lady where simply still cargo of European-chattel-slave-times. The same Luis Moreno of the American embassy, who walked into President Aristide's home on February 29, 2004 and told the president, “I was here when you came back in ’94, and I’m here tonight to tell you it’s time for you to leave.” (See, Randall Robinson on "An Unbroken Agony: Haiti, From Revolution to the Kidnapping of a President" | Monday, July 23rd, 2007 | Democracy Now! http://www.margueritelaurent.com/pressclips/randall.html ).

In the second interview, Lovinsky outlines the role of the US in Haitian history, how the trauma of their interventions continue to keep Haiti in grief and poverty.

"...The US government must stay out of our affairs and let us run our country. Each time they organize a coup d'état in Haiti - we have already 35 or 36 coups d'état in our history - we have to start over. This US policy of wanting to control everything in Haiti is blocking development as well as political, social or sociopolitical progress..." Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, Sovereignty and Justice in Haiti by Darren Ell, March 4, 2007
http://www.haitiaction.net/News/HIP/3_4_7/3_4_7.html

Lovinsky explains how the 2004 US brutal intervention continues under Preval's government and addresses the issue of a "parallel force" - that is, the return of the US Haitian army - being pushed onto Haiti by the internationals through their coup d'etat contingents still in office, counseling if that happens Haiti will continue to have coup d'etats and civil unrests.

These interviews, given by Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, barely five months beforehis August 12, 2007 disappearance, tells his story - the story of his foundation, Fondasyon Trant Septanm and explains the situation in Haiti as no mainstream media ever will. ( See, Letters To LA Times about "Haiti Debates Homegrown Army"; It's Neither Hope nor Progress When the International Community is Running Haiti; Media Lies and Real Haiti News).

Lovinsky tells how Haiti's heroes, during the first US occupation of Haiti from 1915-1934, like "Charlemagne Péralte was betrayed just as today our Haitian intellectuals are betraying the people by collaborating with the (UN) occupiers. Charlemagne Péralte was betrayed. He was arrested by the US marines, killed and place on a door, his body exposed to the entire population.

"In the poor neighborhoods of Port au Prince and in other regions of the country, it's the same thing. The current occupiers, the troops of MINUSTAH, are doing the same thing to the poor. We could take the example of Dred Wilme. We can take the example of Dred Mackenzie. These were community leaders in these neighborhoods. Today in the poor neighborhoods of Cité Soleil the occupation forces continue to massacre the poor. They dangle the specter of insecurity or kidnapping in order to conduct deadly aggressions in these neighborhoods. And the entire population is taken hostage and targeted. People are killed every day in Cite Soleil in the same way Charlemagne Péralte was killed."

Examine also, Lovinsky's statement issued about the first visit to Haiti of UN Secretary General, Bann Ki-Moon and Lovinsky's statement about the current occupation of Haiti, on July 28, the date marking the 92nd anniversary of the first US-brought holocaust-through-occupation of Haiti for 19 years: The July 28, 2007 declaration of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine's Fondasyon Trant Septanm (in Kreyol and Lovinsky Pierre Antoine on the Visit of Ban Ki Moun to Haiti (in French), dated July 31, 2007

Di yo nou vle jwen Lovinsky VIVAN! - We want Lovinsky to be set FREE
immediately.

If the very poor and resourceless Site Soley grass-roots organization, "Fondasyon Kolezepol Pou Sove Ti Moun" could find a computer in Haiti, scrounge up enough pennies to pay the internet fees to write an Action Alert, including in it information about the appropriate Haiti authorities to ask the international community to contact, when their membership is under the guns of foreign occupation, when they are jobless and can hardly find food to eat, there is NO EXCUSE for those of us who are freer, not malnourished, have more resources to not stand against torture and for human rights, to not answer this desperate Haitian call for help from a representative of Haiti's masses. Make a call, write a letter, e-mail, fax the authorities, ask that Lovinsky be set FREE.

Thank you folks, in advance, for writing, e-mailing and calling the Haiti authorities listed on Fondasyon Kolezepol's Action Alert, TASSC International's Action Alert. Please continue to support HLLN's Urgent Action Alert by issuing your organization's own Action Alert demanding that Lovinsky be set free as exemplified by Fondasyon Kolezepol Pou Sove Ti Moun and TASSC International. Send a copy, so we may share it with the entire HLL Network.

See HLLN's Urgent Action Alert: Tell whoever has taken Lovinsky Pierre Antoine that an international audience deeply concerned about the fate of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine is witnessing their actions. Help raise the international concern and visibility of this human rights violation case. Help save the life of Lovinsky Pierre Antoine, stop his torture, prevent his execution."

Action Alert: Haitian Human Rights Activist Abducted
| http://www.tassc.org/

The Haitian Lawyers Leadership Network (HLLN) has reason to fear for the
safety of Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine, a Haitian human rights activist and the head of Fondasyon Trant Septanm, missing since August 12, 2007 after meeting with a U.S. delegation that was visiting Haiti. Pierre-Antoine is in imminent danger of human rights abuse.

According to an August 15, 2007 Associated Press report, police and supporters say Pierre-Antoine may have been kidnapped. Pierre-Antoine has received numerous death threats from the coup d'etat foreign intervention death squads, paramilitaries and their civil arm factions in Haiti throughout the years from 1991 to the present. His organization keeps visible the grievances of the tens of thousands of Haitian victims of the 1991 and 2004 coup d'etat and has held regular presence every Wednesday at the Place des Martyrs au Champ de Mars in front of the National Palace.

To prevent Haiti from losing one more Haitian human rights activist to
senseless political violence and repression, HLLN is urging that letters be
written to the United Nations authorities and the Haitian Police. Copies of
the letters should be sent to major media outlets demanding that U.N and
Haitian authorities take all necessary action and send a powerful signal to
Pierre-Antoine's kidnappers that the international community is deeply
concerned about his fate.
