Ezili's
HLLN stands in solidarity with the victims of the UN cholera outbreak
"Boukman o nan Bwa Kayiman
Nou lonmen non w
Nou pa denounen w, nan Bwa Kayiman
Papa Boukman o, nou wè ase
Papa Boukman o, nou rive nan tobout o
Peyi nou divize, lafanmi doz-a-do.
Nou pate fè Bwa Kayiman
Pou n sèvi etranje." (See also, Boukman's
Prayer at Bwa Kayiman)
On the 220th anniversary of Bwa Kayiman, the Vodun gathering that began
the historical Haiti revolution that abolished forced assimilation,
slavery, direct colonialism and the European Triangular trade and, in
the name of the 13 most famous Haitian women of the Haiti revolution,
HLLN re-commits to defend Haiti’s human right to life, liberty,
dignity, safety; to defend - our right to not be poisoned and to not
endure, without legal remedy, the foreign fecal poisoning of Haiti's
environment, agriculture and water systems.
On this August 14, 2011 marking the 220th
anniversary of the beginning of the Haiti revolution against powerful
and unmerciful tyrants, despots and oppressors, in the name of Jean
Baptise Mixamar, Boukman, Cecile Fatima, Victoria "Toya" Monta,
Defile, Sanit Bèlè and all of the indigenous Haiti army,
Ezili's HLLN stands in solidarity
with the victims of the UN cholera outbreak. And, in remembrance
of Jean Baptise Mixamar's eternal blood sacrifice at Bwa Kayiman, Ezili's
HLLN herein declares on this memorable day that with resources as limited
and as boundless as that of our revered Ancestors, we shall do what
is possible to defend the cholera victims’ human right to a hearing,
justice and reparation by any means necessary including defense before
appropriate courts of law.

Thank you for supporting cholera and earthquake relief with human rights,
healing and dignity
Thank you to the honorable Minister Louis
Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam for their generous gift to Ezili/HLLN
organizations of clean
water technology for the people of Haiti. (See, video of August
12 Haiti press conference.)
Thank you to all in the Ezili Network who
worked so very hard to make this launching a tremendously successful
event.
Thank you to Reverend Grayland Hagler of
the Plymouth Congretional Church in Washington, DC and The
United Church of Christ for supporting HLLN's Zili Dlo -
Clean water for Haiti project.
Denouncing the UN and the international
community
Ezili's HLLN is bringing clean water technology to Haiti while:
1. Denouncing the UN and the international community for their gross
criminal negligence in bringing the most virulent cholera strain to
Haiti and then unilaterally and with blatant racism absolving
themselves of responsibility for the spread by claiming “Haiti
is dirty.”
2. Ezili's HLLN denounces the UN, its Haiti envoys and the international
community that supports it for refusing to take responsibility for the
deaths, suffering and ugly indignities these most powerful and "educated"
forces have imposed upon an already traumatized and defenseless Haiti
populace;
3. HLLN denounces those in the Haitian government, international and
local press and their civil societies and constituents who have not
spoken out against the UN imported cholera; and
4. HLLN denounces the absolute refusal of the UN neither to quarantine
the perpetrators nor to mitigate the on-going damage and environmental
poisoning of Haiti.
Ezili HLLN shall defend the victims
of the UN cholera outbreak, UN and NGO occupation jiskobou.
Service
Area: Ezili's HLLN stands in solidarity with the UN cholera victims
The current Zili Dlo water system is
to service the greater Port au Prince area. We have on-location distribution
and are working to put in place a fleet of Zili Dlo trucks with water
cisterns to fan out throughout the under-served neighborhoods of Port
au Prince, especially at the tent compounds and to our various HLLN
Haiti affiliates.
This NOI/HLLN life-saving partnership has
gifted the first purification unit to two, well-established and connected-to-the-people
Haiti grassroots women organizations for them to manage and distribute
the water to their local constituents. We also provided them with a
week of training and technical support, which the honorable Minister
Louis Farrakhan was also generous enough to financially sponsor, getting
his own engineer, Brother Byron Muhammad, to travel to Haiti to teach
the selected HLLN Haiti organizations how to operate and take care of
the solar-powered purification system that makes 30,000 gallons of clean
water per day.
Our next unit will go to the North to service
the
Mirebalais, St. Marc, Verette, Hinche, Artibonite area that's the
epicenter of the cholera outbreak.
Part of the task of the HLLN/NOI partnership this last week in Haiti
was to visit Mirebalais and the Artibonite area to gain first hand experience
and encounter the suffering cholera victims the next unit will service...
We'd like all Haitians to see Zili Dlo as theirs and to help us place
schedules for portable, clean, safe water deliveries all throughout
Haiti. The more folks help
us sponsor Zili Dlo water trucks, the further and more people we
will service together. Zili Dlo se lasante e lavi - Zili Dlo is life
and health for Haiti.
Ezili's HLLN is committed to productively
intervening to save Haitian lives dying and suffering unendurably from
drinking foreign contaminated Haiti water, while calling the
UN to legally and morally account for the indignity of our people
drinking and suffering so horribly from swallowing their diseased feces.

Ezili's
HLLN denounces massacres of Haiti Vodouist, holds UN responsible
for inaction
Ezili's HLLN denounces the murder and massacres, to date, of at
least 75 Vodouist in Haiti accused of being responsible for the
cholera outbreaks; denounces Bill Clinton as UN envoy, Obama administration,
the UN, the local and international press and the Haitian government
and police for standing by as these killings took place, mostly
remaining silent for practically one-year, allowing the UN-MINUSTAH
mission to pour their
raw feces onto Haiti with immunity and impunity. (Note:
According to HLLN sources, 50 Vodouist were massacred by opportunists
and religious fanatics in Grand Anse alone, 14 in the Plateau
Central, 3 and more in the North, at least 2 in Nippes and more
than 3 Vodouist were murdered in the South.)
The UN-MINUSTAH
soldiers sit all day long, mostly surfing the internet behind
gated military bases when not molesting
Haiti women, men, children; tear-gassing grieving cholera
or earthquake survivors or protecting the commercial interests
of the morally repugnant and rapacious Haiti oligarchy along with
that of over 75,000 foreigners and 16,000
NGO/NPO organizations
living the antebellum ol' Dixie-era lifestyle in Haiti .
Most Haitians already knew it. But, now a whole-genome
study gives irrefutable evidence that the UN brought cholera to
Haiti.
"The study should have a practical upshot, Piarroux says.
Now that there's evidence beyond a reasonable doubt, the United
Nations should accept responsibility and make amends to Haiti,
he says—for instance, by offering financial compensation
or by supporting an all-out effort to make the country cholera-free
again. "More than 6000 people are dead," Piarroux says.
"It's our fault, as the people of the world."
As a voice of the voiceless, Ezili's HLLN again
condemns the UN, the international and local press, their
civil societies and the Haitian government and press for remaining
on the sidelines and allowing the tolerable atmosphere that blames
Haiti for the cholera outbreak and gave reason to some wayward
Christians in Haiti whose fanaticism are generally ignored by
the international authorities, to massacre Vodouists. We condemn
these authorities for all the months - almost one-year after the
outbreak even in the face of irrefutable scientific evidence –
where they have not raised the alarm but kept SILENT. These authorities
have failed to immediately demand and insist that the UN-MINUSTAH
mission mitigate its damages, do environmental clean-up, quarantine
its contaminated soldiers, provide guarantees to Haiti its soldiers
are not contaminated with some other disease, that they are no
longer dumping their raw feces into Haiti's water system, and
provide filters to clean Haiti's drinking water which action could
have prevented a large number of the over 6000 sufferings and
deaths and over 370,000 Haitians who have been hospitalized. (See
HLLN photo essay on cholera
in Mirebalais, August 2011.)
As a voice of the voiceless, Ezili's HLLN stands in solidarity
with victims of UN cholera and with the Vodouist whose families
and friends were massacred and are being murdered by the
opportunistic and fanatical Christians in Haiti who accuse Vodouist
of being responsible for the cholera outbreaks. It
is depraved and criminal that the international authorities, because
of the historical disdain for Haiti’s indigenous culture
and their mainly Christian faith have failed to strongly denounce
the religious fanatics' murder
and massacre of Vodouist in Haiti, who are the scapegoats for
all ills that befalls Haiti, ala Pat Roberson's insane,
racist, illogical thinking.
At Ezili’s HLLN we are proud of Haiti’s culture, Vodun
psychology, spirituality, herbal medicine, bad-vibe makeovers,
Lakou, Viv and Konbit inter-connected
way of life. From our beginning, we've taught its
grounded-in-reality light and wholesome
beauty and carry it forth as a matter of course.
But are most glad at the happy coincidence that HLLN's Zili
Dlo - the modest
purified water project started after the 2004 hurricanes in Gonaives,
is today, by its historic reference, name and Ancestral symbols,
also the literal antidote to toxic-foreign-feces-poisoning; empowering,
in a myriad of ways, the ravaged and downtrodden 80% Vodouist
in Haiti living and suffering with UN–cholera while being
blamed, by opportunists and Christian religious fanatics, for
causing it. (See Zili Dlo
