HAITI: VIDEO EVIDENCE of UN Massacre and Call to Investigate Activist's Disappearance

[magbana]

Few people in the US know about the role of the US in the 2004 coup d’etat that robbed Haitians of their democratically-elected president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. The US collaborated with Canada and France to plan the coup and through the National Endowment for Democracy funded the destabilization of Haiti economically and politically while training and equipping Haitian thugs in the Dominican Republic to attack their own countrymen. When the US pulled out its Marines a few months after the coup, a UN Peacekeeping Force (MINUSTAH) came in to occupy Haiti, essentially to serve as a proxy army for the US. Unfortunately, their approach to the Haitian people was no less brutal than that of the US, the former Haitian army, and the Haitian National Police.

Video evidence has just been released of a UN massacre on July 6, 2005, in the poorest neighborhood in Port-au-Prince, Cite Soleil. The UN attack was conducted ostensibly to neutralize one gang member (actually Dred Wilme was a resistance leader fighting the UN and Haitian National Police due to numerous previous attacks), but with 60 people dead and 23 of the 30 victims that arrived at the nearby clinic being women and children, this was no gang busting – it was a massacre.

Also, no wonder the lives of several activists working on human rights abuses in Haiti are in danger. Please see yesterday’s Women’s Global Strike press release where actress and activist, Vanessa Redgrave, calls for an investigation into the disappearance of Lovinsky Pierre-Antoine who was kidnapped on August 12, 2007. When you see the atrocities in the UN massacre video, you begin to understand why someone or some entity might want to silence Lovinsky and others. See the press release at:

1. Thanks for the information on this kidnapping. No doubt you're not surprised to know not that many

people have been aware of this, unfortunately.

This page from google images would lead one to realize the rest of the world probably has heard about it!

News about Haiti has been deeply supressed here, wouldn't want to embarrass the clown who set the last vicious overthrow in motion, and sent in the death squads they'd had on ice, some of them right here in the U.S.

I have NEVER been so ashamed of an American as I was when the media lowered itself to let us know _Bush had surrounded Haiti with a ring of his Navy ships and Coast Guard and was turning all the desperately fleeing Aristide supporters back into that slaughter house in Haiti when they tried so hard to escape. May he burn without mercy in hell forever for that.

I will surely be looking for more information on this activist. Thank you.
