523. There are no reports of U.S. food deliveries to the Haitian people "from day one".
In fact, there are many reports to the opposite. The narrative to the video you posted, says there were no airdrops of food for the Haitians for a full week after the earthquake. A picture of MREs says nothing about their destination. The caption says, "for transport to Haiti in support of humanitarian operations". It is far more likely the initial MRE shipments were to feed the U.S. military personnel, who were being deployed at the same time.

Your initial claim was, "Hugo sent a single C-130 in", attempting to mis characterize the amount of aid sent by the Venezuelan government. I posted a link showing it to be false. Your messages are also laden with unverifiable claims, citing sources like, "Eric" and "Bill". When shown how ridiculous that is, you then move on to mis characterize my words.

You have much to learn. Military propaganda is not a reliable source of information.

The primary concern for U.S. political and corporate elites with regard to Haiti, is to maintain unilateral political control over the country. This view is supported by 200 years of well documented history. Acknowledging it is not an attack against the military, but instead a criticism of an imperialist foreign policy that values profit over the well being of people in "third world" countries.
