Joe Biden's Tweet Shows, as President, He Would Be Wrong on Haiti

999u2t_clj0ic


On Thursday, candidate for the Democratic party's nomination for President of the United States, Joe Biden, issued a tweet criticizing the Trump administration's approach to the crisis in Haiti. Unfortunately, Uncle Joe's approach would be far worse.


The tweet said "The Trump Administration is abandoning the Haitian people while the country's political crisis is paralyzing that nation." Indeed, last week, I too criticized U.S. President Donald Trump's approach to Haiti. However, Mr. Trump deserves more credit than any U.S. president since Ronald Reagan for his policy towards Haiti and far more credit than any Democrat.

Donald Trump has a non-interventionist approach to Haiti. In Miami, earlier this month, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D - CA) and Representative Frederica Wilson were told by Haitian-American leaders to "stop meddling in Haiti." This is the best approach and it has helped Haiti despite the current crisis.


Without the meddling of the White House and a subdued Clinton Foundation presence, in the past two years, Haitians have had unprecedented transparency into the management of their country's financial affairs. It is the underlying reason for the crisis today.

Without the meddling of the Clintons, Haitian institutions were able to work independently. In February 2019, it was revealed by an investigation and adjudication by the country's Superior Court of Auditors and Administrative Disputes (CSCCA), that current Haiti President Jovenel Moïse, of a political party propped up into power by the Obama-Clinton Foundation State Department, specialized only in creating shell companies and laundering money before becoming president.

He created shell companies for the purpose of obtaining highly lucrative and irregular government contracts. $4.2 billion [USD] of a fund called Petrocaribe was squandered over the course of 8 years. Massive for a country that typically brings in a annual tax revenue of $325 million.

Efforts to dialogue have already been made and the Haitian government responded with massacres, most notably, the one which took place in November 2018 in the underprivileged neighborhood of La Saline. Two and a half days, dozens of bodies, and the United Nations as well as the U.S. State Department have noted the government's involvement.

Without the likes of the Clinton, for the first time in the long and troubled history of Haiti, a real impeachment session for a sitting president was held in Parliament. The parliament is still corrupted by the executive but an impeachment proceeding was a historical moment for a country, a people just 30 years out of a 30 year dictatorship.

Former Vice-President Joe Biden's follow up to his tweet showed why his approach would be a continuation of the Obama-Clinton policies and, far more than Trump's approach, bad for Haiti. Mr. Biden wrote, "As president, I would press for dialogue to prevent further violence and instability. Investing in Haiti's prosperity and security is in the national security interest of the United States." Here, are two lies.

The Democrats' playbook is to put the most corrupt and vile individuals in Haitian society into power. It's what they do around the world. If it's not for the war machine it's for the NGO, Clinton Foundation machine which accounts for $600 million [USD] in tax revenue losses in Haiti.

While the Republicans result in sometimes violent revolution, it has ended a dictatorship in 1986. It has allowed for real fundamental civic growth for the Haitian people.

Secretary John Kerry with President Michel Martelly
Even when John Kerry took over the State Department he intervened to keep Michel Martelly in power. At this point, Martelly had not organized elections, had a completely de facto administration, and was under pressure to resign. He eventually resign but not without giving Obama and Clinton the keys to the elections to bring in his protege, current President Moise, who was the recipient of billions in phony contracts for kickbacks for the administration.


The situation in Haiti today is revolution, it is not par-for-the-course political violence. Every sector of national life, religious, artistic, literature, education, sport, etc. are calling for the resignation of the president. And even if it were not revolution, and instead, civil war, intervention by the U.S. is still not the solution. What would have happened if Europe decided to intervene in the U.S. Civil War? A civil war that President Lincoln needed to exist in order to have the 13th amendment passed. Globally, the U.S. would have never had a chance at owning the moral right.

Joe is 90% wrong. The 10% where he is correct is that Trump did abandon Haiti. After successfully keeping a massive Haitian-American population in South Florida home, and possibly turning many who were not inclined to vote for Hillary Clinton, he did not dismantle the powerful Obama-Clinton apparatus still existing in Haiti today.

Judiciary Seeks Explanation for Swearing In of Two New Departmental Delegates

999u2p_vi0lgz

The Superior Council of the Judiciary (CSPJ) wrote to the deans of the civil courts in Gonaïves, Artibonite and Les Cayes, Sud, requesting that they present reports, by Friday, on the out-of-order swearing in of two departmental delegates appointed by President Jovenel Moïse.



The populations of the two departments, Artibonite and Sud, held movements and sit-ins to stop the swearing in of the delegates. The courts, to circumvent the efforts of citizens, swore in Serge Chéry in Gonaïves and Jean Osner Amisial in Les Cayes during closing hours, 4AM and 5AM.
