Haiti

1914-U.S. Marines loot the National Bank of Port au Prince, Haiti
1915-U.S. troops occupy Haiti to prevent Rosalvo Bobo, known for his anti-U.S. positions, from becoming president. This occupation lasts until August 1934 (19 years) using brutal measures to defeat the armed resistance of the Haitian people. The resistance is organized by the cacos and led by Charlemagne Peralte, until his murder by a U.S. Marine officer.
1994-In the name of democracy and free market expansion announced by the administration of Bill Clinton (1993-2000), U.S. troops (with the backing of the UN Security Council) intervene militarily in Haiti. Aside from it's proclaimed goals, the United States continues to gaurantee impunity for crimes committed by subsequent military governments following the bloody coup d'etat of 1990 that overthrew the constitutionally elected president, Jean Bertrand Aristide.

Do you know anyone from Haiti? Do you know what the people that you and your family voted for have done to them?

but it goes much deeper then that. let me put it to you like this. do you pay your taxes? if you do, then you are supporting war, genocide, exploitation, and corporate monopoly. do you sit on the republican and democrat fence because of those darned gays and uppity abortion supporters? does that make you uncomfortable because you're a "christian"? To hell with you and your "morals". your morals cost other peoples lives. YOU ARE PAYING OUR GOVERNMENT TO KILL PEOPLE AND GLORIFYING THEM FOR DOING IT. or have you gone through that first hurdle? you go democrat all the way. Who caused the bloodshed that your praying for in haiti? a US democrat. and you're going to vote for his wife aren't you? so she can make mandatory corporate slavery a reality. look into hillary's health plan. look into the ties between the bush and clinton families. look into plan colombia that you dear bill clinton started that is killing hundreds, look into the place called bosnia that he bombed with less congressional approval than bush, look into the blockade that kills cuban people that he strengthened. look into their funny tendency of campaign fraud and the means they go to cover it up. and you probably thought he was okay except for the fact that he cheated on his wife. you better wake the fuck up before you die in your sleep. you wanna help someone in haiti? do you even know the name of the island or how many times our troops have walked over it? there's 21 countries south of the rio grande, not counting the islands. our troops have landed in ALL OF THEM, and most of the islands for that matter. now you want to talk about democracy, you want to vote for a candidate who will protect the american job? it's really funny that you keep voting for people who bipass every attempt by the latin american people to improve their own situation. what would you do if your country was destroyed? what if the only place you could go was the country that did that? that sent troops to kill your father, brother, husband, wife, mother, baby, grandparent, loved one, friend?

there are many reason why people throughout the world think that americans are the rudest people in the world. many reasons more why they think we are stupid and that we have no respect for anything and think the world revolves around us. many reasons why most of you think i take politics too seriously. but if you think it is acceptable for you, being born into privelage that has been systematically stripped from all "weaker" peoples, to sit in your slef righteousness and pray for things to get better, to surrender to God people and conditions that you have no right to surrender, if you think it's acceptable for you to give up on the physical world and sit cross legged under the american flag and wait for God to come back and make everything right while YOUR representatives have been and continue to do these kind of things around the world, you'd better hope God takes a little while to get here. you are as guilty as anyone and your apathy will not save you. i'm not trying to downplay the power of prayer, i have seen it first hand, but i again am insulted by the beleif that God wants us to watch the whole damn world burn and blame it on him. think about your reasons, they probably aren't worth it.

we are missing persons until we are counted in the streets. and the next time i hear someone say something about "our jobs" or complain about immigrants trying to get a free ride i'm likely to go off.

read, think, act.

all dates can be found in any history book. i took these ones from 100 Red Hot Years. if you want to know about any of our other interventions/masacres like the real september 11THS! i would be happy to tell you.
