We Need A State Of Emergency Right Now! Wyclef Jean

[bobphatbhat]

what about your own poor people??? nobody gives a crap???

this caring is a joke,, look at yourself

[neil7025]

Wyclef Jean steals money from charity organizations spread the word around

[walterswalk]

ps ps, did wyclef send pres bush a thank you letter for commuting his buddy john forte's jail sentence?

[walterswalk]

ps, how many "dead bodies" did wyclef pull off the street vmstudio2001?

[walterswalk]

wyclef has nothing to hide? why not have a team of forensic accountants and/or the IRS pull his financial records? why does he take money from his own "charity" to pay for his performances? i dont call that donating his "time"? instead he cries like a bitch on TV and claims racism! gee what a strategy. i am not from hatey. i do not owe them a thing! where is my 3 billion dollars since 1993? i am a us taxpayer! i have been the world's wetnurse since 1913! THATS what i have done! where's MY money!

[hammerandnails777]

@walterswalk....well said....And what is this deal about bodies??In every video he is mentioning bodies...Playing on the sympathy of the ppl?? Why should I send you money Wyclef?? YOU NEED A NEW RIDE??

[walterswalk]

open your bookers skimmer wyclef if you have nothing to hide mon!

[vmstudio2001]

walterswalk its easy to criticize someone when your not the one pulling dead bodies off the street. Its easy for others to criticize Wyclef but as far as I can remember he's been displaying Haitian pride from the moment gained his fame. Its easy to raise an Eyebrow when suddenly an new NGO is gaining momentum while you are at home not doing squat about poverty in the world. What have you done for anyone to qualify you as a critic ? What have you done for Haiti? What's your track record ?

[GatorBaby06]

I love you all who pray for my country. God will bless you. Let all of the naysayers and finger pointers to fend for their nonsensical debates. All that can be said and done can be completed with your 2 hands, 2 feet, and ceaseless words of prayer for Haiti and other nations in the world in the same predicament. God bless YOU!

[shellom2005]

May God help them, I have a friend over there. Thank God she and her family are safe. And WTF those who used to sing I GET MONEY doing? "I got money" WHATEVER. They are all just SELFISH! F****k Lil wayne, 50 cent, fat joe all the rest who sing money and do nothing in this situation. F*******k them all motherf*kers

[AgeisLiberatisLuces3]

this is george bush's fault.

[fruitsofnews]

no...no...no..... its HAARP. MUST BE!...

[AgeisLiberatisLuces3]

@fruitsofnews yeah exactly. it is george bush using haarp to make obama look bad just like the underwear bomber.

[iSAW7]

Fuck Wyclef Jean. He's got enough American dollars stuffed in his pocket.

[blakstealth]

it will take way more than the pittance that wyclef has to resolve this.... and who said that wyclef has not given any money to the cause (note) it would be really egotistical to announce that hes giving money or how much .... thats as much his business as how much you give is yours

[iSAW7]

Fuck Wyclef.

[318ray]

My Name is Ty I was in Hurricane Katrina Im from Louisiana so I no how that feels we r starting a fundraiser for the people

im tryin to get thru but they keep putin me on hold i need help

[bigc028282]

Obuma declared a "state of emergency", of the "swine flu" awhile ago. Now the news is selling us on another round of the bug. I guess it won't go away, like the other flu's, until "they" get their money out of their investment.

[whoo689]

The inconsistency is stunning. Jean is only on here saying that shit because he's FROM Haiti. But if it were some nation in Africa or Asia, would he be on CNN saying "Let's call a state of emergency"? I don't think so.

[ReliableInsider]

whoo689,

All decent Americans are in favor of addressing natural disasters when they happen.

They invited him on because he's a little more of an expert on Haiti and has a closer personal connection than celebrities born in other countries. He didn't invite himself.

[whoo689]

Yeah... because we don't have enough problems as it is, Wyclef. We should "declare a state of emergency." Call our Congressman over THIS?? Fuck off, Jean. Your name isn't even HAITIAN, you idiot! It's French for William John, if I recall.

I'm so sick of ethnic or immigrant Americans who think their land is entitled something from the US, and if they all "rise up", they can FORCE the US to use taxpayer dollars and coerce us all to fund some preferential treatment to a certain land. fuck it

[ReliableInsider]

whoo689,

Every single person in the United States is an "ethnic or immigrant American". Even the Native Americans came over here from somewhere else.

How do you feel when there are massive mudslides or floods or wildfires or hurricanes that hit some state other than your own?

What if the fire fighters refused to save any home other than their own?

Grow up.

[cececostanzo]

WOW.. Such a bunch of selfish assholes. So what if YOU have less to help someone have SOMETHING.. I hope no ones around when youre life is turned upside down and you lose your family.Maybe then you'll understand about humanity!

[helltrackrider]

its not selfishness moron...it is what is right and wrong...I decide what to do with my property based on my own priorities in life...

generally, the well being of other individuals is atop my priority list...assuming i can afford to put forth the time, effort, money to subsidise this...but, given todays situation....i cannot afford to put forth anything as my government is doing this on my behalf - illegally.

[cececostanzo]

yea, like I said SELFISH>

[1019drummer]

@cececostanzo ........nice.

[whoo689]

We don't need to provide AID to every fucking country that needs it! At least not gov't taxpayer money forcefully. If private entities and rich folks who feel compassion wanna help the Haitians, FINE! But Hilary and her cronies in the military and administration have no right to use taxpayer dollars unconstitutionally for that.

Why does the GOV'T need to provide aid? We're not the world's charity. Why? Just b/c we're the most powerful nation? We have a huge national debt!!

[ReliableInsider]

All three hospitals in the capital of Haiti have collapsed.

It's time for the people whining about self-help to be quiet and start texting the word 'Haiti' to 90999.

There is nothing we can do to help those who are already dead. But we can help the living.

This kind of suffering is what wealth is for. Not for a couple to build use to build their thirteenth home.

The problem with charity is that it's a tax on virtue. The virtue of government to government aid is that it's fair.

[whoo689]

A tax on virtue?? wtf does that mean? Isn't the welfare-state and forcing people WITHOUT ASKING to pay indirectly through taxpayer dollars the REAL tax on virtue?

You welfare-state libs amaze me. Your "charity" is mostly in teh form of gov't coercion and using tax dollars, which is NOT your money, rather than shelling out some of your own cash voluntarily.

[Sleeeeve24]

HAARP strikes again?

[Hauteur723]

This is a great opportunity for the US Government to further destabilize another 3rd World Nation as they have done so countless times in the past.

[ReliableInsider]

President Obama is going to be speaking on Haiti at 10 a.m. EST (Wednesday).

Which is in 15 minutes.

[motorolarules]

OH YA! we are going to be a big help..., just ask the people in New Orleans!! YA BITCHES we got ALL the answers!! We are such a great help... OK I am joking of course. We can;t pay our way out of a wet paper bag in a chinese whore house. I feel for these people but 'we' got nothing including a lack of proper leadership.

[Pvtjamesryan2]

Yes, lets give MORE TAX PAYER MONEY to Haiti.

"Full Assistance"

80 BILLION DOLLARS

This is ridiculous!! They're a sovereign country!!! Let them take care of themselves like everyone else!!!

[1019drummer]

Asking for the declaration of "a state of emegency" is kind capitalistic on wyclef jeans part.......A 7.0 earthquake and a huge loss of life typically constitutes a state of emergancy regardless of geographical location.

I believe our counrty should do what it usualy dose and that is to provide aid and comfort to those who need it however it would be refreshing to see other counrty's offering up aid pronto the way we do even if it is only for a p.r. or a photo op.

[helltrackrider]

not our responsibility and definitely not within the confines of our government to provide on behalf of our taxpayers...

private, not for profit organizations step in here to assist.

personally, if the government wouldnt steal a large portion of my check, i would be happy to donate to the cause...

[1019drummer]

I guess?,most people will come to the aid of someone if they appear to have an obstructed airway. there are the halves and have-nots,I might agree with you reg the taxation thing but "responsibility" or not it has been in our country nature for some time to provide aid to those who get crunched in earthquakes,haiti being geo. close by it would be in very poor taste to not come to their aid.

It's not our "respocability" to help it's just the rite thing to do. Your paycheck aside.

[helltrackrider]

right thing to do....that doesnt quantify the government in doing this.

the government isnt at liberty to make such a decision...the governments role, as noted in the Constitution and set up by the Declaration; not to mention the countless quotes of the founders; is to protect the Rights of the Individuals within the many States...period...not provide welfare/humanitarian support at home or abroad...

[1019drummer]

well seeing this is a democracy if this where put to vote americans would overwelmingly vote to send aid,your own libertys and the costitution that provides such libertys aside.

period.

If an overwelming majority of americans felt as you do we wouldent send aid to anyone,your opinions would be validated and the world might lol, be a more self sufficiant place.

[helltrackrider]

haha...stupidest thing i have heard, but i would expect to hear from a nation that votes Obama in as President..."seeing as this is a Democracy"...really, i was unaware that our founders established a "Democracy" for us to live under....a mob-rule style government...i mean, if you feel that Karl Marx is your founder...then, yes...you would love a Democracy

hate to inform you...America is far, well - was established as such, from a Democracy.

educate yourself before you vote again...please.

[1019drummer]

Lol,oddly enough it's people such as yourself who towt themselves as being patriots and what not and who advicate exicuting unwinnable wars under th guise of spreading democracy and yet bitch about taxes and your own personal libertys when it comes to helping those who have been crunched in a earthquke.

stupidest crap i have ever heard has been typed by the people commenting on your channel.

lol,karl marx hahahah "mob rule" yeah whatever dont forget your powderd eggs when hiding in the cave.

[helltrackrider]

...i advocate the war?

nope.

...i wish to "spread democracy"?

nope.

"mob rule"...this is EXACTLY what Democracy is...moron.

[1019drummer]

lol such passion,Speaking of "educating" one's self..........namecalling is the hallmark of a true loser who has been thoroughly owned and failed to make their point and they know it

It sounds as though you have quite the tonage of hate upon your shoukders,try sex,do people like you?.............I suspect not.

[helltrackrider]

my point has been made...anyone who understands America and its form of Government can tell you that...

i am however sorry that you had to be educated by our public education system and have been taught, as i was, completely wrong on history and civics...

for instance, Lincoln and FDR were two great Presidents right?...school will teach you so...logic and knowledge will teach you otherwise.

do you enjoy being a Sheeple who has no thought of your own nor any perception of freedom?

[helltrackrider]

...good luck in "owning" me on any topic.

your lack of knowledge and truth will severly decrease your chances.

[helltrackrider]

The Constitution doesnt provide any individual in this Country with SHIT...your CREATOR provides man with unalienable Rights...the Constitution is the Law for the GOVERNMENT...not you and I...our Law is Natural Law.

You really have a lot to learn.

start by expanding your brain past the public education system...

the Country cannot vote to use MY property (money/wealth) for any cause...this would be a Democracy

Start with Badnarik's Constitution class...you could learn something

[1019drummer]

lol,yeah your a real intellectual. And a real patriot,

guess I fld to see that.

[helltrackrider]

dont claim to be any..

i do, however, know my role in a free society and know governments role...until you learn the two, you will believe that other people have a right to your/my property through majority vote..and you will believe Obama is our nations "Leader"..and you will believe it is our Governments "responsibility" to provide humanitarian support for natural disasters abroad

so long as we have clones with your logic voting...our nation will continue in a downward spiral to poverty.

[helltrackrider]

Yes, it is the right and humane thing to do...this decision has to be made by each individual / private organization...

by our government sending essentially money to another Country...this is taxation without representation...our founders went to war with King George over this EXACT principle...and here we are promoting this non-sense...

again, this aid is essential as they are in need...but, it has to come from private donations and private efforts...

[deeknits]

that's not what taxation w/o rep. is...we're not looking to have a say in how haiti is run, just providing aid.

[helltrackrider]

it is taxation without representation...

how are my tax dollars directly benefiting me?

[ReliableInsider]

helltrackrider,

It's not taxation without representation. Every President responds to natural disasters. How well they responded is judged in the next election.

There's nothing unexpected about a natural disaster. We have no idea where they're going to hit, but we know they will.

If your town were burning to the ground . . . someone would come. And I doubt you would object.

[helltrackrider]

so long as that "someone" came on their own will...

i do not want aid, nor will i accept aid, from those who have had their property seized (the taxpayers) and are not directly benefiting from the use of their seized property...

if someone wants to help, they will do so based upon their own self interest...and from what past has shown, ALOT of people will prioritize this help very high on their self interest list.

[cececostanzo]

so why is someone like YOU even on here since youre way of thinking is what it is, not compassionate for other lives..Youre cold hearted and you will always come before anyone else in your eyes so this is a waste of time for you.

[ReliableInsider]

helltrackrider,

You accept "aid from people who have had their property seized and are not directly benefiting from the use of their seized property" every time you drive on an interstate highway or drink tap water or eat meat.

It's just that you don't show any gratitude for all the things that are given to you every day.

[helltrackrider]

do i support the confiscation of private property for highways, tap water, FDA and other things associated with what you say...no.

can i avoid these?...no.

just shows you where our liberties are diminishing...every facit of life that is necessary, government is regulating...next up...Healthcare.

Again, federal governments role in a Republic as ours...protect the individual unalienable Rights of the Individuals of the many States...no more...no less....period.

[ReliableInsider]

helltrackrider,

If we fire all the meat inspectors and I die eating a hamburger, how is that protection of my property rights?

I tolerate government meat inspectors rejecting green beef because I revere my right to life so much.

Every voter has a different vision of how the budget should be written.

But as long as every omnivore is benefiting from meat inspectors, everyone, including the anarchists have to pay something.

Taxes are the price we pay for civilization.

[helltrackrider]

Taxes are a price we pay for protecting our Individual Rightts...not for civilization...that is a Progressive/collectivist/socia­list mindset...none of our founders would agree with you...

Government has no role into the private decisions of our everyday lives...none...did government inspect meat in the early 1800's??? no.

did people bitch and complain that "we need meat inspectors"...no.

set up a private organization (for profit) to monitor and inspect...better than government can do.

[helltrackrider]

today, we live in a watered down form of Communism....no more Republic...no more freedoms...no more liberties...

and one wonders why we are in an economic mess right now?...look to those who regulate and control the economy...the government.

when private individuals control through choice and freedom...no economic problem...then, our lovely government steps in...fucks it all up though regulations, taxes, fines, fees and free handouts for the rich and the poor...nothing for me or you.

[ReliableInsider]

George W. Bush was THE champion of deregulation.

Where did it get us?

Total global economic collapse.

If it were just a name for a video game, it would be hilarious, but it isn't. It could not be more real.

[helltrackrider]

haha.

the champion of deregulation?

moron.

Federal Reserve..the champion OF regulation...where has it gotten us?

When you want to look at prosperous timeframes of American history...try peering into the early 1800's...maybe right after the Civil War...all up until the Federal Reserve and FDR came along and FUCKED America so backwards that there is NO chance for a prosporous nation anymore, until we remove the FED and remove Government from all economic ties...as it is supposed to be.

[ReliableInsider]

helltrackrider,

FDR ended the Great Depression that Coolidge and Hoover had created. He defeated Hitler. And then America had some of its greatest prosperity building on the foundations he'd laid.

The whole process was repeated in 2008. We had another Great Depression created by a man who's father's middle name was Hoover and the regulations put in place in the 1930s and quick action by the White House turned the Second Great Depression into a severe recession.

[helltrackrider]

Learn all that in public education?

FDR ended the great depression...?

try...he prolonged the great depression; which was created by no president...but a Democratic Congress voting to allow monetary control to the federal reserve...all, against the enumeration of the Constitution.

You do have a lot to learn if you think that the FDR policies, and now Obama policies, are for the good of Liberty, Freedom and Posterity of the individuals of this Nation.

[bigc028282]

How many in Congress voted for the PRIVATE Fed Reserve? Same banksters, different PUPPET. People need to realize the difference between history and his-story.

[ReliableInsider]

Are you saying that communism was affordable health care and child care and humanitarian aid???

I don't think that's what we fought the Cold War against.

Is that what Ronald Reagan was funding the Mujahideen in order to fight against? Affordable health care?

Pay no attention to Rush Limbaugh and his political "analysis". He's not the Great and Powerful Wizard of Oz. He's just the man behind the curtain.

[helltrackrider]

I could give two shits about all the "ism's" except "Collectivism" and "Individualism"...

Collectivism = immoral

Individualism = Reality

[ReliableInsider]

What do you say about a rich kid who had 83 pizzas and won't share with a large roomful of friends?

He's an idiot.

[helltrackrider]

if he doesnt want to share...that is his opinion, it is his property...in a democracy, the people can vote to take his pizza...in a republic, their is no vote, it is his property and he can do with it as he pleases as he has earned the property one way or another.

[ReliableInsider]

The clever con operation that the Republican Party pulls is convincing people who earn $240,000.00 a year that they're rich.

They're not. They're poor. They are the poor people that the Democratic Party is working on behalf of.

People who earn between $30,000.00 and $250,000.00 a year.

The middle class.

Republicans serve those who earn $33 million a year. Such as Rushbo the clown.

[helltrackrider]

Democrats serve the same people...see the bailouts...your arguement falls way short seeing as teh two parties are one in the same...both, only in it for money and power and to control anothers life.

[ReliableInsider]

If you are unable to distinguish between the two major parties, you are tuning in, turning on, and dropping out.

Who wants decent people to get discouraged and stop voting altogether? The bad guys! That's how they win!

[helltrackrider]

Look at the track record and political platforms of the Libertarian party versus the Republican/Democratis Party...compare these with the wordings of the founders...tell me then, who are the "bad guys"...

It is in human nature to want to provide help to those who cannot afford to do so theirselves; but, this help cannot be provided via force/theft from another individual...period.

let voluntary charity take its place in society...eliminate the immoral redistribution...then, end the FED.

[AgeisLiberatisLuces3]

this is why they teach falsehoods in the govt schools so they can manufacture consent to be dominated. this is what allows the pattern to continue but it cant go on forever and now the idealist fake liberals are getting desperate. the violence coming from the fake left is increasing and will only get worse. healthcare is the holy grail of fake liberal dupes. they dont realize who they are benefiting. their ideas are based on emotion not on logic. sadly most liberal dupes are good people.

[ReliableInsider]

Republicans think the middle class should pay all the taxes.

Democrats think they shouldn't! Because they can't afford to.

[AgeisLiberatisLuces3]

@ReliableInsider do you use any logical thinking or historical research when you form your opinions or were you educated in a government school? i dont understand how african americans have allowed themselves to be enslaved once again by the democratic party.

[ReliableInsider]

There is nothing more low-tech or more worth doing than working to save innocent human beings from concrete blocks.

If you want a big bang for your invested dollar, here's your chance.

It sounds as though reconstruction will in many ways be reshaping Haiti itself. It's a tremendous opportunity to have a positive impact.

[ReliableInsider]

Haiti is the poorest country in the Western hemisphere (tied with Nicaragua).

This great disaster is an opportunity to do something with all the wealth we have as a nation.

Anyone who thinks we're not still an incredibly wealthy nation despite all of Bush's efforts is just wrong. We are budgeting billions of dollars toward killing people in the near future. We can spend a few billion on saving people's lives.

[helltrackrider]

"All the wealth we have"?

where is this wealth???

all this wealth has alredy been spent on similar measures here at home...providing for Medicare, Medicaid, Welfare, Unemployment...etc...not to mention promoting our military across seas...our country has no wealth...our people have minimal wealth seeing as it has been confiscated by our country...

sad event, but our government cannot provide any measures of aid as our government is of the taxpayers...this is to be used here, at home.

[Hauteur723]

@ReliableInsider there's no wealth in this nation.. it's all debt.. I'm all for helping other nations if we start building our own bridges and stop spending billions destroying other nations

[sonja0707]

you have never lived in other countries that have suffer political abuse or repeat raping and supression from wealthy countries who steal and deal and try reading histories especially your own and you see the truth. we have alot of millionairs out there, could not one person even give a 10 dollar! why is it poor people that want to help and never the rich. or people that never have these problems. haughty or what?

[sonja0707]

who ever is making heartless and wicked remarks about helping haiti people i pray that you would never feel the need to be hungry or starvation and nakedness never feel the need to be homeless and never face the idea of loosing your love ones through awful circumstances. i pity you as you all dont know whats around the corner for your own lives to be talking so egoistically like this.

[sonja0707]

have you looked on wilki to read the history of haiti? then you would understand why america should help haiti. america is richer than haiti. haiti is below poverty BELOW thats why people should help. it doesnt matter if you dont get, it matters what you give. i pray that GOD will soften your hearts and others out there to help these people. i pray that it wont happen anywhere else too.

[uresai]

Ophra is a Billionare so is BIllgametes . make these fuckers send 15million each to haiti Lmao.

[smileythegnome]

Yay! Let's send troops to Haiti! Its Sept. 1994 all over again!

[Garlannd]

Why would a state of emergency in America, help Haiti? I"m not sure what hes saying here.

[ReliableInsider]

Wyclef Jean was born in Haiti.

[Garlannd]

Yes but he makes it sound like he wants our government to declare the state of emergency. It just came out weird, I guess English isn't his native language and given the tragedy he isn't exactly in a good state of mind so it wasn't exactly perfect syntax.

[oldhacks]

what is this haiti everyone speaks of?

[LifeIsGood63]

Fuck Haiti. Good to see Billary is in position to offer all our help. Let them fix their own shit. No more handouts to anyone.

[xeroone1]

I hope nothing like this ever happens to you and yours.

[Garlannd]

New Orleans, didn't get any help from Haiti.

[LifeIsGood63]

You want to pay for this? We are in an economic crisis. Maybe you can solve our problems?

[xeroone1]

People should help people in times like these. Just because your government's focus is not on the issues affecting its populace is no reason to give up or forget about your own humanity.

All my prayers and hopes go out to the peoples of Haiti.

[LifeIsGood63]

Ya I understand and respect what you are saying. Yet how many people outside the U.S. help us when we have a major earthquake? Or other earthly calamities?

[xeroone1]

I do believe that the Red Cross, an international charity, gave aid and assistance to the people of New Orleans during the floods caused by hurricane Katrina. I have made contributions to many charities including the Red Cross. I live outside the USA.

[LifeIsGood63]

I believe that the Red Cross was founded in the United States. Go help them. It is OK When the United States needs help all the other countries do not help us. You know it is true.

[ihatelifejosemartine]

My prayers will be with the people of Haiti.

[iTellYouNoLie]

signs of pole shift?

[StarrJaded]

Or I hate to say it...but H.A.A.R.P anyone?

I dunno man, this is just wierd...in Eureka California there was a 6.5 about 20 miles out in the ocean just four days ago. I have family there, they say that they had never experienced anything like that before.

If you really understand HAARP and who operates it...it does make me wonder...

[SubmarinerAndroid]

@StarrJaded

And if HAARP has nothing to do with this, it's still an important thing for people to find out about...

[StarrJaded]

I hear that the magnetic North Pole is moving at a rate of 34-37 miles a year toward Russia.

Back in 1984 or so, the magnetic north pole was only moving at about 9 miles a year...now its at a rate of 34-37 miles a year?...

you may be right...

[PersianPaladin]

Tragic.

[jjlinert]

I never even realized Haiti was in an earthquake zone, or near a fault. Earthquakes can happen anywhere, but normally I think of some places like California, Japan and some parts of China as earthquake prone.

This is a very sad situation and hope the people of Haiti get help soon.

[forcebyte]

Haiti is on a split vault. The western part of Haiti is surrounded by a fault line.
