Garvey's Ghost: Black Talk

The Truth Comes in Dribbles

I usually never have to wait for "official" sources to know when the US has it's foot in something. In regards to Haiti the white faces, the perfect American English and the well armed rebels had "outside influence' written all over it. Today I stumbled across this piece at Granma International which reports that the "rebels' were funded by the US and trained in the Dominican Republic.

Quote:
SANTO DOMINGO.— The Xinhua news agency has reported that the groups which rose up against Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide were armed and trained by the United States in the Dominican Republic, according to a preliminary report presented today.


That statement is the provisional conclusion by the Haiti Investigation Committee made up of religious and legal representatives from several different countries and created in 1991 by former U.S. Justice Secretary Ramsey Clark.


"Two hundred soldiers from the U.S. Special Forces arrived in the Dominican Republic with the authorization of President Hipólito Mejía as part of a military operation to train Haitian rebels," revealed the report that was circulated in the Dominican capital, Santo Domingo.

This Bush Klan is really up on some illegal ish. I do hope that whenever he is put out of office that the someone manages to convict these people for thier crimes.
