Bushes' 21 Billion Dollar Question for Haiti...

First, the clues...
1) Check out, the full interview at:
http://www.guerrillanews.com/counter...ce/doc233.html
No mention of Haiti anywhere, right?
2) Then, check out these quotes:
"A few months before the election, Katherine Harris? office used computer systems to make up a list of people to purge from the voter rolls of people who were supposedly felons ? people who committed serious crimes and therefore in Florida were not allowed to vote. We now know those lists were as phony as a three-dollar bill. That maybe approximately 90% of the people on those lists, and there were 57,700 people on that list, approximately 90% were not felons and had the right to vote. Surprise, surprise. At least 54% of the names on that list were black. We know that because Florida is one of the few states under the U.S. Civil Rights Act that actually has to track the race of each voter. "
"They used this racial targeting system as a way to target and purge black voters. This was a very sophisticated Jim Crow operation done by computers, completely hidden from the public eye. And when they were asked about it they basically lied. The Governor, the Secretary of State, and the head of the Florida Department of Elections all lied under oath to the U.S. Civil Rights Commission about how that was done.
Now that was completely covered in the British and European press. That is one of the reasons why when Bush came over to Europe he was seen as a usurper and a pretender to the presidency - not elected, but a guy who had conducted a sort of racial coup d?etat.
He was not seen as legitimate.
The U.S. press did little bits of the story and then buried it. My sister paper the Washington Post, (the Guardian papers co-publish with the Washington Post) did run my story, buried, 7 months after the election. I wrote the story within 3 weeks of the election and they didn?t publish it until seven months later, when it didn?t really mater. And they only published it because the U.S. Civil Rights Commission said my findings were correct. If I didn?t have that official approval, I don?t think we would have seen that story at all. "

3) Finally, the 21 Billion dollar question:
How can we (the Republiklans) win a Racial Coup d'État in Black Haiti and use this experience as a template to be applied everywhere that one man one vote democracy represents an obvious and definite challenge to our hegemony?

Good job Jaf. You are doing your absolute best to preserve the dignity of the country and to make the citizens be aware of deception. You love truth and coherence, you love legality and you preach it in this forum with a passion. I have taken note Brother. As far as I am concerned you are a true patriot. Please read my post about Opposition in Haiti, I am only inviting those who cherish dignity and honesty to join the club of the Conscious selfdisciplined competent patriots of Haiti. It is all about serving, it is a response to the works of the of the incompetent political delinquent and the Outlaws who perform their works always against the Constitution. If there are political mercenaries in Haiti it is because there is delinquency within the political class of Haiti therefore your generous efforts will not bear fruits until delinquency is eradicated and a new breed of conscientious, concious, and competent patriots step in the political arena to work together or to oppose their philosophies and their doctrines for the best.
Chak moun gen filozof li, chak moun gen Ekonomis li men lè moun sa yo travay onèteman tout éfo individiel ké yo fè poté fri menm lè sé nan konteks konpétision ou byen nan konteks éleksion. Il faut éradiquer cette mentalité qui veut faire croire que les politiciens hors la loi les plus malhonetes et les plus brutaux sont les meilleurs, les plus futés et les plus forts.
Malé Jaf vié frèm, mwen byen kontan poté kolé avek ou.
A bientot
