Haiti needs a relief effort that doesn't continue oppression

Carl Dix of the Revolutionary Communist Party says that US-Haitian relations has influenced the way the relief efforts have unfolded in Haiti. Is there any solution except a revolution?

The earthquake in Haiti raised all sorts of questions about Haiti's leadership and the country's ongoing poverty, even in the best of times. Haiti has had a difficult history, from its independence in a slave revolt through the rule of "Papa Doc" Duvalier and his son "Baby Doc."

Carl Dix, the national spokesman for the Revolutionary Communist Party, puts part of the blame for Haiti's sorry state on the United States and France, which, he believes, are committed to keeping Haiti impoverished.

"US has promised 100 million, but that is about 1 percent of the US military budget for occupying Iraq and Afghanistan for 1 month," said Dix.

Dix argues that the US has brought in mainly paratroopers to control the situation in Haiti and has failed to focus on what people really need. He believes that this is indicative of US priorities towards Haiti. Like Haiti, the city of Los Angeles was built on a fault line, but Dix says the US government would treat a disaster in there much differently.

"You need rescue and supply efforts that do not oppress the Haitian people, but releases them and helps them," said Dix.

Were the US to actually be interested in helping Haiti, Dix explained, relief supplies could be brought in from Cuba or military infrastructure could be used more efficiently, but as the relief effort continues, it seems to be more of the same disorganization.

Obama's bank tax is chump change - Gerald Celente

The tax on banks proposed by Washington guarantees Wall Street $US 4 trillion which means top banks will keep playing the same game in the future, economic trend forecaster Gerald Celente warned.

Goldman Sachs is nothing more than a big hedge fund, period and paragraph. If they went under people dont have go to the ATM machine to get their money out of the Goldman Sachs bank, they do not have Goldman Sachs cheques, they are just fronting for Wall Street and all Wall Street is doing is gambling and their risks are covered by the American taxpayer, said Celente.

America was at its greatest when it was not about Wall Street but Main Street; when it was not about the Walmart but moms and pops and community; when it was not about factory farms but family farms. Everything in America has gone corporate, grieved the forecaster.

Celente concluded by saying, the merger of state and corporate powers, according to Mussolini, who knew a thing or two about it, is called 'fascism' and fascism is coming to America.

[paulsviplist]

The trooth is that a lot of oil is off the coast of Haiti.

Haiti is a rich place that is not in debt to the big banks like all other countries.

im a communist?!?!? r u fucking serious thats the best you could come up with? Im from the united states and the US is trying to help the people in haiti not take over it. wtf would they have to take over anyway? theres nothing left and thats why we are over there to HELP the people. What is england doing? How about mexico? The french? The french accuse us of occuyping haiti. What they forget is that Haiti used to be a FRENCH colony and the people were ENSLAVED by the french.

@laxAddict992 Your the communist as. Fucking Uzbeki. I am from the country that created democracy and freedom of speech and actions.

[laxAddict992]

ok really what country are you from you fucking communist?

[Gr33kElite]

I never even mentioned Afghanistan dumb ass. The last time i checked the USA never had control of they country under crisis not even once but when it is another country its a different issue especially when the government and its people are in chaos.

[browneyes4]

There was no malice to my comment, just a recognition that we live in an incredibly unfair world. Countries like Haiti MUST compete to prosper. This is the world we live in!

[laxAddict992]

i was talking about afghanistan fucking idiot last time i checked thats not very close to US soil if your talking about 911 there were hundreds of firemen withing 10 minutes of the 1st plane and if u think we were in haiti in 10 minutes you must have autism or something.

[Gr33kElite]

@laxAddict992 Now your so fucking stupid Haiti is few hundred miles away from the USA coast and the 911 is on USA soil. Dumb fuck. Getting paid bellow minimum national wage and over worked is actually recognized as slavery search it up you might learn a few things in life. There are no differences both were a tragedy and both needed government aide.

[laxAddict992]

you are fucking stupid there is no slavery in the united states its called poverty. And every i say again EVERY country in the world has some poverty. And the united states reacted differently on 911 because it was on the otherside of the world and we were making the decesion to go to war. Also haiti is only a few hundred miles off of our coast and this is a relief effore COMPLETELY different from 911

[Gr33kElite]

@laxAddict992 To this day the USA still enforces slavery in some states, people are getting under paid. at least less than a dollar a day. It seems that the USA are occupying Haiti. The government and military acted faster then the tragedy of the twin towers and Hurricane Catrina
