The real news here is ......July 28, 2007 marks the 92nd anniversary of the first US invasion of Haiti by US Marines in 1915. The Marines occupied Haiti until 1934. One of the first things the Marines did was steal all the gold out of the Haitian treasury, packed it on a boat and sent it to New York for deposit in the City Bank.

In 1926, a Haitian described the pattern of invasions and occupations:

“I know they throw the history of Haiti in our face – its long tissue of revolutions and massacres. Yet the American war with the Cacos killed more people than 10 or 20 revolutions put together; it devastated whole regions and ruined the cattle of Haiti, as veterinary experts can testify if they are honest. Revolutions were fomented by foreigners – English, French, American, Dutch traders – who risked nothing, and always profited. Loans which dealt rather in human lives than in merchandise were made at rates of 1,000 per cent and those who thus enriched themselves overthrew any government that was not subservient to them.”

–excerpt from a letter written by Dr. Normil Sylvain, a Haitian, in 1926 to Emily Balch who led a delegation of the Women’s International League for Peace and Freedom to Haiti to observe the effects of the US occupation.

The White Saviors of Haiti
The arrogance of the Left and White Liberals
- "Nou pa bay yo regle anyen pou nou"
by Ezili Dantò/Marguerite Laurent, Haitian Perspectives, September 17, 2005*

The White "Saviors" of Haiti by Marguerite Laurent

I am writing this because it's important and the anger won't go away. If I read this over, I would write it differently, probably? So, do I apologize in advance for typos,* generalizations and offending the simple bystander with my undiplomatic language, and over-reaching metaphors? I cannot. To do so, is to ignore the emotional urgency. Think further... about the "practicalities," the strategic danger of fighting on too many fronts at a time, about the overwhelming odds against us - how outnumbered and outgunned we Haitians are. But, this is visceral and from birth, I never had another voice, never had a choice.... about not drawing this fire. For, here and now, at this very moment, si m pa rele, m'ap toufe - if I don't shout, I'll suffocate.

This is about the remnants of the white Left in Haiti. We already know the bloodbath the "friends of Haiti" from the Right have brought to Haiti. http://www.margueritelaurent.com/law/massupdates1.html. How different is the so-called "white Left" and their sycophants used as the token, the "black portrait," the vivid imbeciles who serve to legitimizes these white folks' forays into our sovereign Haitian rights?

What made me start to write this night was Tom Luce's "Update" report below. (See, The August Massacres Update). But it's a culmination of things done by so-called "allies" for the past 6-months or more since Haitians in the Diaspora began to suffer their "work" on Haiti. That's why I, for one, am thoroughly SICK of these few remaining "Leftist" white folks and their paternalistic judgments and initiatives "in our names."

First off, if one reads the latest Brian Concannon ("Justice prevails") post on Jean Ristil and Kevin Pina, or the Tom Luce "update", you'll think these are the saviors of Haiti and its jailed peoples. Yet, all Haitians know "justice has NOT prevailed." However, Luce and Concannon seem, to continually be patting themselves on the back for their "great work", while all we Haitians struggling see is how our people are just simply dying and suffering.

Luce's "update" downplays the U.N. occupation, proudly talks about "working with the U.N." on Haitian "human rights," as if the UN was not complicit in the massacres, in cuddling the Lame-Ti-Manchet coup-d'etat death squad. Luce also gives a nod to IDJH, but thoroughly ignores that HLLN's report on the soccer massacre came out BEFORE even his or anyone elses.

Should we just continue to ignore these obvious dismissals and disrespects?
Why should we keep turning the other cheek for these paternalistic sods in terms of defining Haitian rights and our plight?

It’s like this "Peoples' Tribunal," supposedly a “Haitian” Peoples' Tribunal scheduled for Sept. 23, 2005 filled with Kim Ives' selected white eyewitness, white lawyers, white investigative judges to the pains and sufferings of black people, which excludes Haitian lawyers except as “assistants”; which excludes CARICOM representatives, African Union representatives, and all those of us who have stood and fought for Haitian rights and waded through the blood, sufferings and trauma of more than 10,000 Black people’s death and agonies in Haiti because of Bush regime change and impositions. (See, Kim Ives' "Proposed Structure for Opening Session"). Yes, HLLN wants to see the defendants' names in the Peoples' Tribunal complaint brought to justice. There is no doubt about that.

But, does that mean, we must suffer, in the stark quiet, through another attempted humiliation in Washington, on Sept. 23, 2005 with no Haitian lawyer in the forefront, but a bunch of Leftist white folks who dubbed themselves arbiter of our “justice," our "rights,” as if it's 1840 and this was Sengbe ("Cinque") Pieh's sad defense at the Amistad trial and we Blacks are still their forced captives or there’s apartheid and we can’t speak for self.

In his email below - "Proposed Structure for Opening Session" - Kim Ives tries to make his idiotic insults, obscene and constant sick paternalism and Tarzan-complex stick by suggesting that Haitian lawyers, people born in Haiti who lead and teach others about Haiti's plight, may be gofers, subjugated, relegated to the sidelines and readily "assigned" as assistants to the mostly non-Haitians, who shall take center stage as witnesses to the exploitation of Haitians or as the heroic defenders of Haitian rights in his upcoming Washington "Haiti Tribunal" farce.

As I absorbed it, I got this visual in my head of how the film of the Amistad revolt simply turned the tribulations, winning feat and inhuman sufferings of the African captives into a mere courtroom drama where white heroes prevailed and Sengbe "Cinque" Pieh and his fellow "defendants" relegated to the sidelines. So, is that how today's massive and bloody Haitian struggle for liberty, economic equity, sovereignty and against neocolonialism shall be reduced and re-written by white folks? That's depraved. And right in our faces like this? With my name on their script, in their assigned role, without permission?! Obscenely sneaky and irresponsible.

I say enough. ENOUGH. No more. If no Haitian will stand up and denounce these white Leftist and their arrogance, then let the record show HLLN shall denounce this Haiti Tribunal. We shall denounce IDJH and its continued use of Haiti’s pain and denounce Tom Luce’s misguided righteousness, as if no Haitian out here, are fighting, in a myriad of battlefields, throughout the world, for our own danm survival and self-respect. As if, we are not wading through the blood of more than 10,000 of our own Black people. As if New Orleans didn’t show the world Haiti and lift up our sufferings to a more unbearable level. As if we’re invisible.

When I say I’ve had enough, that’s a period, no comma. From now on, transparence requires, the next time Tom Luce writes a piece like the one below, or Brian Concannon, who uses Haitian lawyer Mario Joseph to gain his organization's legitimacy and then uses the release of Kevin Pina and Jean Ristil as an opportunity to fundraise for IDJH, bending over backwards to pat himself on the back for all HIS handwork as if IDJH single-handedly put out the information to get Ristil and Pina's release; the next time I, speaking for myself and the Haitians whose heart I speak aloud for, we-Haitians shall NOT turn the other cheek pretending we don’t see Concannon’s hustling our peoples' pain out here. The African movement to free Africans in Haiti, shall not be dismissed, disrespected or be distracted by these colonial efforts from the so-called remnants of the white Left. Haitians shall lead this struggle for Haitian liberation. Let it begin for those who were unaware: Nou la. We’re here, in the belly of the beast. Not in marronage. Forget the old standards and the old subservient, Haitian guards and sycophants.

We know you white Leftists (and your equivalents from the other races today climbing on Haiti's poverty-pimp-gravy-train) know that one penniless Black Haitian revolutionary who desperately needs the food, dollars, visas, plane tickets or the illusion of protection of a "white cover" and "accompaniment," you pilfer their work with to sell as your own, or to bask in as your "Leftist credentials," and/or to leverage later on for academic positions, foundation grants or a glamorous "Leftist" international job with the otherwise crushing-to-Haitian-health-and-sovereignty, repulsive cadres of NGOs in Haiti. We know you white Leftist can find that one Haitian without self-esteem, that “nice negro” and mentally colonized/traumatized Haitian, who hates confrontation and opens up his/her network of contacts for you to be “sudden experts” when you get to Haiti. Some of you do have good work out here and HLLN has not failed to support it. But, we don’t support your arrogance and delusion that you may speak for our people better than they may for themselves. Similarly, we don’t support the arrogance that allows you to believe you may limit our role because you’ve been on a delegation to Haiti. There's never a distance between Haiti and us, never. We are the Haiti Dessalines created. Our lawyers are always in Haiti. Our people are always in contact. These days your work does not reflect their interests or desires. HLLN is here to point this out. The U.N. is an OCCUPYING force in Haiti, there to uphold dictatorship, the former army officials and this upcoming selection, followed by a formal protectorate. Haitians are VERY clear on this. Follow their lead to support their struggle for sovereignty, or you’re not in solidarity with us, but working for the enemy. (See, Dessalines' Law, The Three Ideals of Dessalines and Jean Jacques Dessalines, said, "I Want the Assets of the Country to be Equitably Divided" and for that he was assassinated.)

As the people of Haiti say: “wè pa wè, sa ou pa vle a, wap wè’l kanmèn” – No matter what, what you don’t want to happen, you’ll see it any way! We either live free, in every aspect, tell our own story, own our own pain and authenticity or die fighting for it. Either way, the Haitian story and plight will be articulated from a Haitian perspective, taking all Haiti’s enemies to task, whether they defined themselves “friend or foe” as long as HLLN is on the scene. Self-determination and reliance affords us the opportunity to define friend and foe.

Let it begin here with HLLN denouncing IDJH, the upcoming “Haiti Tribunal” by Kim Ives and Tom Luce's (Hurrah) and Brian Conconnan's insistence that the U.N. soldiers raping Haiti are Haiti’s saviors or Ann Sosin from IDJH’s unchecked refrain about how Haitian men in Site Soley are rapists and bandits. Let the denunciation, begin here with me, Marguerite Laurent - Desalin’s daughter, Ezili Dantò's child (my mèt tèt). Come with it. STEP Blan Mannan. STEP. Let’s get this over with, once and for all.

I ain’t one of these terrorized Haitian men watching how some of you white men use my Haitian sister as semen receptacles while telling all in a sundry how much you “love” the people of Haiti and fight for their “rights.”

I’ve learnt too much about you all. And frankly, you all are not so clean and capable of defining Haitian rights, ok. STEP and publicly say to the world your work is MORE worthy than what Haitians do to maintain their own soul, own dignity, own culture, own ancestors' legacies.

Go on, come with it.

Make sure you can handle the public scrutiny in this war for the souls of Black folk, everywhere.

IDJH talks about rape, we ask: Who brought aids to Haiti? Who is using our children, raping them in Haiti, bringing sex tourism, raping our women through sex tourism or by using white privilege with the colonized petit bourgeois for moving up the social ladder? I say no absolution.

You folks wanna have this discussion right now?

How many white folks without a dime, go to Haiti to make their fortunes, to beef up their resume, to make more money than they could ever command in the U.S. per day? To live like mini monarchs under the tropical sun, crystalline azure waters of the Caribbean, sandy beaches, able to employ the cheap live-in maid, gardener, cook, laundress, chauffeur, butler, nannies, personal assistant, hairdresser, masseur, guards, whatever. But "help" you could never, ever, altogether afford, on a daily basis, in your own countries. So why not impose your false benevolence and help contain Haiti in poverty and dependency to keep Haiti the way it is, assure you your mini monarch lifestyles and perpetual "do gooder" social mask, huh? Flexing your white power and reach over Haitians, you at various levels, recreate the old Southern U.S. plantation system while sanctimoniously telling all and a sundry you treat "your" Haitian good.

Just because the colonized Haitian will sell you their first born to get close to a U.S. passport, network or dollar, don’t really mean the dependency you’re strumming and are basking in makes you “godly,” or, worthy of this peasant’s respect. And some of you white folks, pretending to be unaware of the privileges your white skin brings in Haiti and in the U.S., want to tell us it’s about class not race? OK. Let it begin. But when you set up a “Haiti Tribunal,” make sure your actors are qualified to talk about these “black rights.”

Subject: [Haiti-news] News: The August Massacres Update

THE AUGUST MASSACRES UPDATE
by Tom Luce 9/15/05

There were two separate ugly massacres in August in two different but neighboring sections of Port-Au-Prince, one on August 20 at the St. Bernadette soccer stadium in Martissant and another on Aug 21 in a residential section of Gran’Ravin. This writer has been personally involved in an ongoing investigation and community justice effort regarding these massacres and offers the following update as an alternative to the RNDDH (formerly NCHR-Haiti) report contained in the Konbit Pou Ayiti/KONPAY Haiti Report for Sept. 16, 2005.

There is a connection between the two massacres. Both involved killing innocent Lavalas activists and both were carried out by a murderous team of Haitian National Police aided by thugs using machetes marked with the initials, “PNH” or Haitian National Police .

The first massacre—in front of 5000 soccer fans in Martissant— involved as many as 50 victims slaughtered because they were labeled as Lavalas scum. They were either shot by the police and/or hacked to death by the thugs with “PNH” marked machetes. The second at GranRavin, involving some 5 victims, was a pre-meditated combination of house burning, house vandalizing, shooting at a church, and killing by machete and bullets, again of alleged Lavalas scum by police bullets and thugs with “PNH” machetes. Witnesses to the Saturday soccer massacre say that the police and thugs threatened to finish the job the following day which they did.

Three separate articles with photos covering these events can be seen at www.hurah.webhop.org AUMOHD, a Haitian human rights organization with offices at 181 Autoroute de Delmas 23 (Pres. Evel Fanfan, 424-3334) is the agency conducting its own investigation and providing legal support for the two affected communities. In conjunction with AUMOHD, a US delegation has taken affidavits and has filmed survivors and eyewitnesses in order to prepare a case to present to the international community. Other Haitian human rights groups either have done nothing, or have merely commented on these massacres (usually combining them into one). IJDH has posted two articles (www.ijdh.org/articles/article_recent_news_8_24_05.htm)

The RNDDH (formerly NCHR-Haiti) report concludes that the Grand Ravin massacre (note: there were in fact two massacres in two different places and times) involved neighbors taking revenge on alleged bandits similar to other massacres reported earlier in the summer in Solino and Bel Air. RNDDH claims the police were passive witnesses and that the machetes used were not “handed out.” These July killings were reported in the popular press, though not yet confirmed by believable investigations, as neighborhood lynchings. The press characterized them, as if to excuse the massacres, as a citizen summary executions of alleged bandits who had incurred the righteous wrath of good neighbors, thus eliminating the huge problem of kidnapers terrorizing the whole city.

The massacres at Martissant and Gran Ravin were definitely against innocent people perpetrated not by indignant neighbors but by police and known thugs against political targets. The UN also conducting its own investigation, has, according to Juan Gabriel ValdËs, confirmed the involvement of the police (AHP Sept. 1). Mchael Lycius, Director of the Haitian Judicial Police has also confirmed (AHP Sept. 12) that police were involved and are being detained and that the civilians involved are being sought after. AUMOHD has gathered the names of the alleged civilian murderers, reported by community residents as having been disturbing the communities earlier in the year and asked to leave the area.

According to AHP (9/12/05) Pierre Esperance, Director of RNDDH (National Network Of the Defense of Rights of Haitians) attacked UN Rep, ValdËs for having announced on Sept. 1 that henceforward “all operations of the Haitian National Police must be planned and carried out in strict collaboration with MINUSTAH with a view to good management.” Mr. Valdes made his statement following the August massacres and made reference also to the July massacres as examples of how the Haitian National Police have been “out of control”. Mr. Esperance accused Valdes of “destroying the Haitian police and supporting bandits.” (Note: UN Declaration 1608 has given MINUSTAH control over the Haitian National Police as of June 05.)

AUHMOHD has worked with the UN human rights office securing the permanent posting of a MINUSTAH patrol in Gran Ravin. Community leaders have reported that this has greatly reduced the terror that had gripped the people in the area. It is also working with local media to prepare a full documentary. Ongoing work developed at a community meeting facilitated by AUMOHD President Evel Fanfan on Sept 2, has dealt with securing autopsies, backed up by the UN human rights office, of the remaining bodies of victims, preparing for funerals, and developing a community strategy for pursuing justice.

AUHMOHD is a volunteer organization receiving minimal funding to pay for phones, gas, internet and expenses related to its work for poor clients and communities. To learn more and to contribute to their work go to www.hurah.webhop.org

Ezili Dantò's Note: Bwa Kayiman 2007 and the case of Lovinsky Pierre Antoineby Ezili Dantò, For Haitian Perspective, and The FreeHaitiMovement, August 23, 2007
*********************************************

Who killed Dessalines, Haiti's founding father?
Toussaint Louverture was kidnapped and murdered by the French. The Haitians most allied to the white colonists then killed Haiti's founding father. Petion/Gerin- the Reactionary Mulatto Generals more allied to French/colonial economic and cultural interests than the Haitian majority.

Following Dessalines' assassination in 1806, under the long Mulatto and Eurocentric presidencies of Petion (12 years) and Boyer (25 years), the name Dessalines was execrated, declared loathsome, cursed, marginalized and not allowed to be spoken. Neocolonialism had begun in Haiti, would be formalized with Boyer's Independence Debt ($22 billion with the last slave-trade payment made in 1947 to US, the richest country in the world by Haiti, the most defenseless and poorest. See HLLN's Open Letter to the People of France.)

The legacy of the impunity and undemocratic offenses of this one class and sector of Haitian society, continues to this day…This Haitian economic elite with their foreign allies cannot accept the principal of one citizen-one vote because it would mean that they would lose their privileges and influence. Hence the Feb. 29, 2004 coup d'etat and current UN protectorate under President Preval which pursues the interests of foreigners and their black overseers in Haiti.
