Preparing Haiti for Exploitation and Plunder
[05/03/10]
"Over 15 weeks post-quake, Haiti’s imperial takeover is proceeding. It began straightaway after the calamity, Haitians victimized by denied aid, appalling repression, and now dispossession of their land, homes, and communities. More on that below.
Haiti lacked sovereignty throughout its history. Post-quake, it has even less, its people more than ever in jeopardy with imperial plans to gravely harm them, perhaps exterminate hundreds of thousands through neglect or other means. [...]"
For $10 Billion in "Promises", Haiti Surrenders its Sovereignty
[04/27/10]
"It was fitting that the Mar. 31 "International Donors Conference Towards a New Future for Haiti" was held in the Trusteeship Council at the United Nations headquarters in New York. At the event, Haitian President René Préval in effect turned over the keys to Haiti to a consortium of foreign banks and governments, which will decide how (to use the conference's principal slogan) to "build back better" the country devastated by the Jan. 12 earthquake.
This "better" Haiti envisions some 25,000 farmers providing Coca-Cola with mangos for a new Odwalla brand drink, 100,000 workers assembling clothing and electronics for the U.S. market in sweatshops under HOPE II legislation, and thousands more finding jobs as guides, waiters, cleaners and drivers when Haiti becomes a new tourist destination. ..."
Mercenaries circling Haiti
[04/23/10]
"A Haiti conference was held in Miami last month for private military and security companies to showcase their services to governments and non-governmental organizations (NGOs) working in the earthquake devastated country of Haiti.
On their website for the Haiti conference, the trade group IPOA (ironically called the International Peace Operations Association until recently) lists 11 companies advertising security services explicitly for Haiti. Even though guns are illegal to buy or sell in Haiti, many companies brag of their heavy duty military experience.
Triple Canopy, a private military company with extensive security operations in Iraq and Israel, is advertising for business in Haiti. According to human rights activist and investigative reporter Jeremy Scahill, Triple Canopy took over the Xe/Blackwater security contract in Iraq in 2009. Scahill reports on a number of bloody incidents involving Triple Canopy, including one where a team leader told his group, “I want to kill somebody today … because I am going on vacation tomorrow.”

Inside A Failed State - Haiti
VIDEO [22:45]
"Just over a year ago Haiti was last hit by disaster. It was brought to its knees by a series of hurricanes that left the struggling country in turmoil. Perpetually in a state of collapse, even without the disasters.
In late 2008 Haiti is lashed by powerful storms, leaving many dead. That disaster resonates today. Its like we have no government, a passer-by remarks. I dont understand how the average Haitian survives, says Joel Bortoue from the UN. Little could they know in just over a year it would happen again, this time killing the UNs top official and many others. ..."

Why the U.S. owes Haiti billions
"The U.S. has worked to break Haiti for over 200 years. We owe Haiti. Not charity. We owe Haiti as a matter of justice. Reparations. And not the $100 million promised by President Obama either – that is Powerball money. The U.S. owes Haiti Billions – with a big B.
The U.S. has worked for centuries to break Haiti. The U.S. has used Haiti like a plantation. The U.S. helped bleed the country economically since it freed itself, repeatedly invaded the country militarily, supported dictators who abused the people, used the country as a dumping ground for our own economic advantage, ruined their roads and agriculture, and toppled popularly elected officials. The U.S. has even used Haiti like the old plantation owner and slipped over there repeatedly for sexual recreation.
Here is the briefest history of some of the major U.S. efforts to break Haiti. ..."

Haiti: Larger Oil Reserves Than Venezuela Says Scientists
"Haiti Has Huge Resources of Gold and Iridium Says Former Dominican Petroleum Refinery President Leopoldo Espaillat
Nanita, it is ironic that Bill Clinton and George Soros have been talking about rebuilding Haiti's infrastructure and starting business ventures in the country. Perhaps Clinton, Soros and many other globalists have confirmed that these oil, gold, uranium, zyconium and iridium deposits DO exist in the Haiti and they want to gain control at the expense of the Haitian people. ...I have heard rumors that Haiti has vast oil reserves -- and that the globalists want these reserves. However, the globalists cannot get the reserves, because the oil belongs to the Haitian people. So the globalists do not allow the Haitians to exploit the oil reserves, because it would allow the Haitian people to prosper. It would allow the Haitians to build proper infrastructure, so that 7.0 earthquakes do not have such a devastating effect.
The article below is translated from French (read the original here) using Google, so it may not be 100% translated and of course verify whether these scientists are to believed.

Reference: Haiti is full of oil say Daniel and Ginette Mathurin
Translated from French:
"Scientists Daniel and Ginette Mathurin indicate that under Haitian soil
it is rich in oil ... "We have identified 20 sites Oil, launches Daniel Mathurin stating that 5 of them are considered very important by practitioners and policies.
The Central Plateau, including the region of Thomond, the plain of the cul-de-sac and the bay of Port-au-Prince are filled with oil, he said, adding that Haiti's oil reserves are larger than those of Venezuela. An Olympic pool compared to a glass of water that is the comparison to show the importance of oil Haitian compared to those of Venezuela, "he explains.
Venezuela is one of the world's largest producers of oil. Daniel Mathurin reveals that investigations of several previous governments have allowed to verify the existence of these large deposits of oil. It reminds a document of Lavalas party to power in 2004, had specified the number of sites in Haiti hydrocarbons.
According to Daniel et Ginette Mathurin, the lake region, with cities like Thomazeau and
Cornillon, contains large deposits of oil. Asked about the non- exploitation of these sites, Ginette Mathurin said that these deposits are declared strategic reserves of the United States of America. While stating his incomprehension of such a situation, it reminds that the Caribbean is considered the backyard of the United States.
But Daniel and Ginette Mathurin indicate that the U.S. government in 2005 authorized the use of strategic reserves of the United States. This door must be used by the Haitian political négiciations to launch with U.S. companies with a view to exploiting these deposits adds Daniel
Mathurin.
Experts argue that the government acted Jean Claude Duvalier had verified the existence of a major oilfield in the bay of Port-au-Prince shortly before its fall.
Moreover, Daniel et Ginette Mathurin show that uranium 238 and 235 and the deposit zyconium exist in several regions including in
Jacmel. Uranium is used in nuclear reactors to produce electrical energy. ..."

Haiti: Bonanza for Foreign Mining Companies
".... Well, technically with regards to mining, there is this thing called the Bureau of Mines [and Energy] and its under the Ministry of Public Works in Haiti.
But what folks have to understand is the history of what's been going on with respect to Haiti.
Between 1991 and 1994 there was a Coup d'Etat. 1991 was the first Coup d'etat against President Jean Betrand Aristide and in those times, foreign companies, whenever, during Coup d'Etats they get lots of concessions and so forth.
In terms of Haitian mineral rights and gold and bauxite, all the various minerals of Haiti.
I mean people don't think of those things about Haiti. And this is one of those things my organization wants folks to understand.
That the UN is not in Haiti, the US is not in Haiti, Canadians are not in Haiti for humanitarian goals or because they care about Haitian rights.
There is an economic track. ... Haiti has various sites, especially in the North, where in terms of Canadian companies, we are talking about St. Genevieve, we are talking about Eurasian Minerals, we are talking about right now the new one which is called
Majescor. Those are the three we are aware of. That doesn't mean there are not others.
But around the 1970s and 1980s there was a survey[s] -[1975 - Kennecott Exploration/1978 - Penarroya Exploration], a geological survey done by the UNDP [1983 - The United Nations Development Program], and they actually also put together a document [for the Haitian government] with respect to what is available in these areas.
In these areas now that are being mined by Eurasian Minerals; that are being mined by St. Genevieve up in the Trou du Nord up in the North and Northeast of Haiti.
These companies, specifically St. Genevieve, came into Haiti in 1997 and that was under the Lavalas government of President
Preval. And they got a [minimum] 25 year contract. Now, when they got that contract with regards to Haiti this was during a time when the grassroots had their voice.
They knew what the resources were in Haiti and they felt entitled to share in the profits.
We have information on what St. Genevieve was talking about. You know, the Aristide
government was not amenable to what Genevieve was doing in Haiti. ..."

Haitians
Will Go Extinct "The situation in Haiti is far worse than we could imagine, even before the quake of January 12. Some scientists now report that the earthquake in Haiti reveals that country as the miner’s canary of ecological collapse, a modern-day Easter Island.
The term that scientists are using is ‘Overshoot,’ meaning that the population has far surpassed any hope of the environment sustaining them. According to a report in Energy Bulletin, Haiti has ten times the population density of the United States, and the highest density in the Western Hemisphere. To reach that density the United States would have to be crowded with 2.7 billion additional residents.
What we are witnessing in the wake of the most recent disaster, they argue, is not the devastating impact of a mere earth quake, but the impact of a crisis in an environment where the energy needs of a population have surpassed the ability of the environment in which they are living to sustain that need. The situation has reached a virtually irreversible slide into extinction: 97% of the land has been stripped bare of trees. As a result, flood waters inundate towns and wash away roads at such a rate that houses and roads are washed away again before they can be completely rebuilt. A similar video report by the New York Times, indicates that the environment in Haiti has degraded to the point that it will be unable to sustain human life by 2020. ..."
