**********************************************
His
Excellency Mr. René Garcia Préval
President Elect of the Republic
In his Offices
Excellency,
I have the honor of informing you that I took note of your recent
press statement regarding the Head of State’s constitutional
prerogative to grant amnesty in political maters.
I take this opportunity to express my wonderment as per a possible
connection
between the above mentioned statement and the one you made earlier,
again to the press, in reference to the position of the UN expert,
Mr. Louis Joinet, concerning this affair of “La Scierie”
in St Marc; statement in which I believe I heard you mention a
judicial decision relating to the eventual liberation of political
prisoners.
In my letter dated February 21, 2006, I made an affirmation to
you, that the accusations, the mandate of arrest, the incarceration,
and the multiple maltreatments of which I am the victim were in
no way motivated by judicial maters. All these political and criminal
machinations are the “master piece” of the infernal
machine of the February 29, 2004 coup d’etat and the demagogic,
buffoon and grotesquely Machiavellian de facto regime it engendered.
As a consequence, my liberation could not be the fruit of any
lawyer’s intervention on my behalf, or of any amnesty granted
by anyone.
It is incumbent therefore on the powers that conceptualized and
implemented the coup and on the de facto regime, as the instigators
of my incarceration, to give me back my freedom.
I am attaching to the present some of the documents that, I hope,
will help you understand better the cost of these two years of
still continuing struggle I have been enduring, for the triumph
of the Truth.
I wish that the predators of presidential mandates cease, at once,
to gobble up your mandated term, which you have yet to begin.
I pray that you accept, Excellency, the expression of my highest
esteem.

Excellence Monsieur René
Gracia Préval
Président-Elu de la République
En ses Bureaux
Excellence,
J’ai l’honneur de vous faire savoir que j’ai
pris note de votre récente
déclaration à la presse relative à la prérogative
constitutionnelle du
Chef de L’état d’exercer le droit d’ammistier
en matière politique.
Je saisis aussi l’occasion pour vous exprimer mon interrogation
sur un
quelconque rapport possible entre la déclaration sus-mentionnée
et
celle que vous avez faite antérieurement, encore à
la presse, en référence
à la position de l’expert des Nations Unis, Monsieur
Louis Joinet,
concernant cette affaire de la Scierie à St. Marc; déclaration
dans
laquelle j’ai cru vous avoir entendu faire mention de décision
de justice en
ce qui a trait à la libération éventuelle
de prisoniers politiques.
Dans ma lettre du 21 Février 2006, je vous ai affirmé
que les
accusations, le mandat d’arrestation, la détention
et les multiples autres
sévices dont je suis victime n’ont été
nullement motivés par une question de
justice. Toutes ces menées politiciennes et criminelles
sont l’oeuvre
de la machine infernale du coup d’état du 29 Fevrier
2004 et du pouvoir
de facto démagogique, bouffon et grotesquement machiavélique
qu’elle a
engendré.
En conséquence, ma libération ne saurait être
le fruit d’aucune
intervention d’avocat à mon service, ou de mesure
d’amnistie de qui que ce
soit.
Il incombe donc aux puissances conceptrices et exécutrices
du coup
d’état, et au pouvoir de facto, qui ont fomenté
mon incarcération de me
rendre ma liberté.
Je vous envoie ci-joint quelques uns des documents qui, j’éspère,
vous
aideront à mieux appréhender le coût des deux
années de lutte que je
poursuis encore, pour le triomphe de la Verité.
Tout en souhaitant que les prédateurs de mandats présidentiels
cessent
au plus vite de rogner le votre que vous n’avez mème
pas encore débuté.
Je vous prie de croire, Excellence, en l’expression de ma
très haute
considération.

Letter from Yvon Neptune to Mr. Julion Simon, President of the
Supérieur Court Overseeing State Administrative Finance
and Disputes, March 13, 2006
**********************************************
Mr. Julion Simon
Président de la Cour Supériéure
des Comptes du Contentiéux Administratif
(President of the Supérieur Court
Overseeing State Administrative Finance and Disputes
In his Offices
Mister President,
I take this opportunity to attract your attention to the fact
that I did not
receive a response to the matter of my (Official State) discharge
request
submitted to the Court since the month of March 2004.
You must be aware of the fact that since June 27 2004, I have
been in prison
subsequent to the arbitrary, illegal and politically motivated
decisions of
the de facto regime imposed by the coup d’état of
February 29 2004.
In addition, you must be aware of the fact that:
1) The de facto UCREF published a “report” in which
it attempts to slander me
in relation to the Aristide Foundation for Democracy matters.
2) The de facto commission of (supposedly) administrative investigation
also
did put out a “catch all report” where they attempt
to defame my character,
this time, relying on the discretionary account I disposed of,
in the
framework of the prerogative of all Prime Ministers.
I did not see these “reports” emitted by both de facto
UCREF and CEA; but
based on what I have heard on the radio, I have publicly refuted
the gross,
repugnant and lowly political allegations, of which I am the object
(indeed
see attached documents)
I also seize this opportunity to point out that, as per my instructions,
the
administration of the Prime Minister’s office prepared periodic
expenditures
reports that, as far as I know, were regularly submitted to the
Court.
Based on the Court’s very long delay in replying to my request
for a
discharge, I would be grateful to you if I could at once receive
the possible
reasons for such delay, given the eagerness manifested by the
de facto regime
to destroy me at any costs and by any means necessary.
If for any reason the Court is not in possession of my request
of the month
of March 2004, I trust that the present correspondence will be
viewed as a
replacement and also as a reminder.
Please accept, Mister President, my salutations,
Yvon Néptune, Former Prime Minister

Monsieur Julion Simon
Président de la Cour Supérieure
des Comptes du Contentieux Administratif
En ses Bureaux
Monsieur le Président,
J’ai l’avantage d’attirer votre attention sur
le fait que je n’ai reçu aucune réponse à
ma demande de décharge soumise à la Cour depuis
le mois de Mars 2004.
Vous n’êtes pas sans savoir que depuis le 27 Juin
2004, je suis en prison suite aux décisions arbitraires,
illégales et politiquement motivées du pouvoir de
facto issu du coup d’état du 29 Février 2004.
Vous n’ignorez pas en outre que:
1) L’UCREF de facto a publié un “rapport”
dans lequel elle tente de me
diffamer en relation avec la Fondation Aristide pour la Démocratie
2) La commission de facto de soi-disant enquête administrative
a aussi
fait sortir un fourre-tout òu la tentative de me diffamer
s’est cette
fois rabattue sur le compte discrétionnaire dont j’ai
disposé à l’instar
de tout Premier Ministre dans le cadre de cette prérogative.
Je n’ai pas vu ces “rapports” de L’UCREF
et de la CEA, toutes deux de facto; mais sur la base de ce qui
a èté transmis par la radio, j’ai, dans des
notes publiques, réfuté les allégations grossières,
répugnantes et bassement politiciennes dont je suis l’objet
(voire copies des notes ci-jointes).
Je saisis aussi l’occasion pour vous signaler que, sur mes
instructions, l’Administration de la Primature préparait
des rapports
périodiques de dépenses qui, que je sache, étaient
régulièrement soumis à la Cour.
Vu le très long retard mis par la Cour à répondre
à ma demande de
décharge, je lui saurais gré de m’en donner
au plus vite les raisons, étant
donné l’acharnement manisfeste du pouvoir de facto
à vouloir coûte que
coûte me détruire, d’une façon ou d’une
autre.
Si pour une raison ou d’autres la Cour n’a pas en
sa possession ma
demande du moi de Mars 2004, je voudrais croire que la présente
correspondante y supplée et tient lieu aussi de rappel.
Veuillez recevoir, Monsieur le Président, mes très
distinguées
salutations.

HLLN'S MEDIA Campaign to FREE the political prisoners
in Haiti
******************************
Join HLLN'S MEDIA Campaign to expose the corrupt role of the UN,
US, Canada,
OAS, France, their false "humanitarian aid", to expose
this international community's (the "International Community")
culpable role in keeping in office, over the OBJECTIONS of the
majority of Haiti's peoples, at home and abroad, for more than
TWO years now, and training and paying a puppet Haitian government
with no popular mandate and massive human rights abuses and political
repression. Stop UN, US, OAS, Canada, France's hypocrisy. Their
authorities are the ones holding the political prisoners in Haiti.
They are coup d'etat countries with the UN as their proxy militarizing
Haiti and fleecing it dry with their IMF/World Bank debts and
foreign "free trade" multinationals exploiting Haiti's
access to the Windward Passage (Mole St
Nicholas); oil (in La Gonave); uranium, iridium and Haiti's goldmines
in the Northeast, gas reserves Near Aquin and our State companies,
ports and plentiful and cheap labor force. They are the RESPONDIAT
SUPERIORS, not the puppet Latortue government or its corrupt and
paid-off judges. Write to media urging them not to let the International
Community pass the blame to their very employees - the Latortue
death regime and its corrupt justice system.
Demand that the mainstream media stop being false witnesses and
turning a blind eye to the truth in Haiti: to the WHO holds the
keys locking the political prisoners behind bars and destroying
justice, decency and democracy in Haiti. It's this INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY with UN soldiers as henchmen, with its USAID, World
Bank, IMF and IRI/NDI Economic
Hit MEN, wielding its defacto protectorate in Haiti,
using the Latortue regime, its foreign-trained Haitian technocrats
as its proxy and "black face"
in Haiti
Demand that these coup d'etat implementers, FREE the people before
giving back the reigns of government illegally held by the international
community's employees in Haiti.
Demand that all contracts entered into under the illegal US regime's
reign must go to a national referendum placed before the people
of Haiti and no backdoor structural adjustment economic plan be
foisted on the people of Haiti, either through the outgoing coup
d'etat regime, the contracts its illegally signed or through US/Euro
false benevolence such as "debt forgiveness."
