I’ve lengthy held that after Grenada in 1983, the following US-led army intervention within the Caribbean would probably be in Haiti – and I’ve been confirmed proper.
Take the next September 22 Reuters information merchandise from New York, headlined ‘US pledges new assist for Haiti, urges UN to authorize safety mission’, by Humeyra Pamuk and Michelle Nichols.
It reads (in nice half): ‘The USA on Friday (September 22) unveiled US $65 million extra in assist for Haiti’s police and urged the U.N. Safety Council to formally again the deployment of a multinational safety mission to assist the Caribbean nation combat crippling gang violence.
‘Talking at a gathering in New York to handle the safety scenario in Haiti, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken mentioned the mission, “led by Kenya”, may very well be deployed “inside months.”
“We actually don’t have any time to lose,” Blinken mentioned.
The article continues: ‘Haiti final yr requested for assist to fight violent gangs which have largely overrun the capital Port-au-Prince.
‘The (UN Safety) council may vote as quickly as subsequent week, diplomats mentioned, on a US-drafted decision supporting a multinational police deployment.
‘Whereas not offering any troops, Blinken mentioned the Biden administration will work with the U.S. Congress to offer $100 million to again the multinational mission with logistical and monetary help.
‘This might embrace intelligence assist, airlift, communications and medical assist,’ he mentioned.
‘The $65 million will intention to bolster the Haitian police capability to dismantle the gangs,’ Blinken added.
The article reported the U.S. was ‘additionally imposing new visa bans on former and present Haitian officers whom Blinken mentioned had been enabling the violence.’
It provides: ‘Washington helps Kenya’s imaginative and prescient for a three-part safety mission that features serving to Haitian police, making certain safety for static installations and thoroughfares and strengthening regulation enforcement in the long run,’ Blinken mentioned.
‘Kenyan President William Ruto, informed the UN Common Meeting on September 21: ‘We should not go away Haiti behind.’
The article continued, ‘International locations have been cautious of supporting the unelected administration of Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who has mentioned honest elections can’t be held with the present insecurity.’
It additionally famous that ‘Haiti has been with none elected representatives since January.
Henry informed the Common Meeting on September 22: ‘My interim authorities is set to carry elections as quickly as virtually attainable, including that safety in Haiti had deteriorated to a ‘crucial level as ‘criminals really feel that they’re all highly effective…’
Henry continued, ‘I’m asking for assist to permit Haitians to remain of their houses,’ and known as ‘to bolster the nationwide police of Haiti, in order that it could actually really reply to the challenges it faces’.
The unelected prime minister additionally known as for the UN Safety Council’s authorization for that assist.’
The article mentioned: ‘Haiti’s strongest gang chief this week known as for the armed overthrow of Henry, urging Haitians to take to the streets towards the unelected authorities.’
It quoted U.N. Secretary-Common Antonio Guterres, in a report back to the Safety Council final month, as saying that ‘A strong use of drive’ by a multinational police deployment and the ‘use of army belongings, had been ‘wanted to revive regulation and order in Haiti and disarm gangs.’
The article ended noting: ‘A multinational police deployment wouldn’t be a U.N. mission.’
The report reveals sufficient to assist my unique place, which nonetheless stands at present, that the US has efficiently repeated its age-old divide-and-rule argument of justification of an invasion by altering its title to a ‘Rescue Mission’.
Clearly, to all old-enough to recollect, it’s all from the same-old, always-upgraded and never-discarded US Psychological Operations (Psy-Ops) playbook, the identical pointers being at present as within the week between October 17 and the invasion on October 25.
Like again then, within the title of Rescuing Democracy and saving a defenseless inhabitants towards armed killers needing to be urgently and violently-thwarted by use of overwhelming armed international drive.
The accompanying propaganda blitz has painted the ‘armed gangs’ as assassins worthy of assassination within the title of ‘Defending Democracy’, regardless that Haiti is all the pieces however democratic, led by an unpopular and unelected prime minister, with no elected authorities and no nationwide establishments, to make sure any protected return to democracy after the killing is over and the our bodies are counted.
Like in Grenada, Haiti’s chapter started-off with Kenya agreeing to deploy 1,000 troops to Haiti, supposedly underneath a UN ‘Peacekeeping Pressure’, however which final weekend metamorphosed right into a US-backed, funded and armed ‘UN-led Multinational Pressure’.
With pre-election pressures topping his agenda and now eager to have to clarify beaths of Individuals getting back from Haiti in physique luggage, President Biden has performed like in Ukraine and is committing no us troopers.
As an alternative (and like in Ukraine), Washington is dangling cash — US $65 million extra for Haiti and US $100 million ‘to assist the trouble’, however from a far distance.
Like in Grenada again 40 years in the past subsequent month, normally-progressive Caribbean political, press and tutorial personalities have already began toeing-the-line with amorphous and heavily-loaded statements like ‘Democracy is underneath menace’ and ‘Regulation and Order have to be restored by all means vital…’
Such positions unquestionably assist yet-another exterior violent intervention within the lengthy historical past of Western-led imperial and imperialist orchestrated coups and invasions of Haiti.
The West has lengthy decided that the small Caribbean ‘half-island’ nation, whose Black leaders defeated Napoleon and the Europeans armies to ascertain the primary Black Republic and to formally Abolish Slavery in 1804, should never-again be allowed its freedom.
Haiti was compelled to pay nearly perpetual Reparations to France for the Revolution that began the battle to finish Trans-Atlantic Chattel Slavery.
At present, as if Black Lives not matter, the US is funding a transparent Black-on-Black onslaught, utilizing Caribbean and African troopers to additional legitimise an unpopular prime minister of a truly-failed state, to put in yet one more ‘transitional’ administration in Port-au-Prince, that can most-likely permit the Standing Quo to proceed – and result in the following army coup.
