The Kidnapping Coup

The Kidnapping Coup tells the story of the US Bush-Cheney regime's overthrow of democracy in Haiti on Feb 29, 2004. A so-called rebel army was funded and equipped by the US in neighboring Santo Domingo. They invaded and shot a lot of people in several few towns. Simultaneously the US invaded Haiti by air and sea and took the capitol city of Port-au-Prince. US marines broke into the Haitian Presidential Palace in the middle of the night. They kidnapped President Jean-Bertrand Aristide and his wife Mildred, put them on a US jet, and flew them all the way to the Central Republic of Africa, where they were put under house arrest by a French puppet dictator. Members of the Black Congressional Caucus flew there and demanded the release of Aristide and his wife. They flew to Jamaica, but Condoleezza Rice and Colin Powell made threats on sovereign Jamaica. The Aristide family is now in exile in the Republic of South Africa, and Haiti remains under military occupation by the complicit forces of the United Nations.

this story sounds fake.

I wish that this was not true, but sadly and tragically it is true. Are you one of those who simply believes what the corporate media tells you? I've been studying this situation since 1984, and the history of US intervention in Haiti goes back to 1815. Inform yourself please!

My brothers & sisters in Haiti have suffered so much thanks to US, & their European cousins, so have Africans and all other blacks world wide, where the Europeans were not the Arabs took over the oppression. ONE day, NO black soul; will ever be oppressed again by them. in a matter of time, they will wish they were the Haitians & not the other way around. Hang on there my brothers, justice is coming soon enough.

CAUCASIAN DEVIL HEHEHE COOL!!! SURE...THE SAD PART IS NIGS ARE NOT REALLY HUMANS, THEY ARE JUST BEASTS..

Ever heard of a technological, cultural, scientific, architectural or millitary advance done by chimps? nope, there aren`t any.

That`s why chimps have been slaves for thousands of years. And not one significant civilization has ever been created by black beasts. CHERRS!!

14/88 4 EVER

Let us all hope the USMC uses Haiti as a nuclear ground test!! Or even better..as a rifle range using those black savage beasts as targets.

SEMPER FI!!! GO MARINES!!!

Please tell me where I can go do research about US intervention in Haiti since 1815. I know the US invaded in 1914 and rob the Haitian national bank of 4 million dollars in gold bars. With interested in today's money, that should be worth over 30 billion dollars!

Thank you for this wonderful song . It is helping spread the truth about what happened 2/29/04. Unfortunately, the US will not leave Haiti alone it is the only true republic in this western hemisphere.
