Garvey's Ghost: Black Talk

Bully in de Yard

Democracy Now is reporting that Ms. Rice (tha skeeza) has sent a warning to the Jamaican government that it must expell Aristide from it's country. It is also understood that if "anything happened to any American forces in Haiti, that the consequences of that would be exacted against a president or against Jamaica by the United States with full force."

quote:

RANDALL ROBINSON: I don't know that the specific actions that the U.S. would take, or were made, were spelled out. It was clear that Ms. Rice told the Jamaican Government that if Aristide was not expelled immediately, and anything happened to any American forces in Haiti, that the consequences of that would be exacted against a president or against Jamaica by the United States with full force. Now, one doesn't know what that means, but we know what America is capable of doing. It's abducted the President. It executed the coup. It took him to a country with which it has no relations, nor does any African country to speak of, that the state department warns all people not to go to. We brought him back to Jamaica, to his home region and the U.S., of course, has brought full weight of its authority upon Jamaica to have him expelled immediately. Hearing that his simple presence there would cause people in Haiti to rally to salvage their democracy.

AMY GOODMAN: How do you know Randall Robinson that Condolezza Rice is the one who’s applying pressure to Jamaica to expel the Aristides.

RANDALL ROBINSON: My source in the White House named Condoleezza Rice.
