On February 29, 2004 US Special Forces kidnap Aristede
He is placed in an unnumbered white plane with a large
American Flag and transported to the Central African Republic
Maxine Waters – alerted by cell phone flies with Amy Goodman and Randall Robinson and extracts him
Haiti has been hated since 1804 a consequence of the successful
slave rebellion against Napoleon and France
Aristede’s accomplishments: twice overwhelmingly elected and then overthrown by the US.
One mortal sin: abolishing the military
Another: the Foundation Aristede Medical school.
Since the coup we find the school is barracks for US Troops, and the Doctors
train in Cuba.
What message does this send to the world?
And Obama, bargaining unsuccessfully to prevent Aristede’s return.
what stupidity in the face of history
