Mumia Abu-Jamal -- Behind the Coup D'Etat in Haiti

Make no mistake, we are witnessing a coup taking place on the island nation of Haiti. The forced departure of Haitian President, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, was something that the Bush administration has been trying to do for years. It saw the opportunity,
and — wham! — it took it.

Now, it has installed a puppet as Prime Minister, and tries to install a president to it's liking. This is what American 'democracy' means; the power to impose US imperial will
on a sovereign government.

it's funny all you assholes are concerned about not giving mumia a second trial.. and totally didn't even listen to what this man just communicated... about how pro u.s military coup relations in haiti are taking away the freedom of the people to elect and govern themselves.. haiti the first black republic ruled by blacks,from which many have died to establish democracy and a constitution, are being undermined by the u.s......

well said. if aristide was as corrupt as they claimed, he would have been on power.

And this is also why they banned his party.

Aristide refused to be a sock puppet of the United States and that's why they kidnapped him and sent him to Africa.

"Rebel" leader Guy Phillipe was trained by US special forces in Ecuador.

FREE MUMIA!!

@TheJomogogo you're a fool. the reasons for haitis situation can be found in its history and in current us/un politics. i dont have the desire, time or patience to educate you but if you wish to speak on topics you should do research, in fact here are some search terms for you: 1825 haitian war debt, haitian revolution , where the term "pearl of the Antilles" comes from, lavalas, us military intervention in haiti, haitian deforestation, un troops / cholera outbreak, us contractors in haiti

[markussky]

@TheJomogogo yeah i guess theres nothing anybody wants anymore after lets see the european colonists killed the native taino people, then imported hundreds of thousands of african slaves as free labor to make themselves rich while haiti became the "pearl of the Antilles" because its sugar production made more money than ANY other commodity going. then these slaves who are an ocean away from their true home somehow find a way to rise up and defeat France who by the way was led by napoleon,

[TheJomogogo]

Yeah like we care about Haiti, which has nothing nobody wants and is an endless hole of need.

WTF even a crap head like mumia should know better than to shovel that shit.

@dj4monie i cant beleive my fucking eyes............i mean what the fuck?????? that cop just executed that kid in broad daylight in front of eye witnesses....un fucking beleivable

[TheBlackRite]

has the u.s ever supported a genuine democracy? IT baffles me when i see multitudes of people at the campaign rallies of u.s. politicians waving u.s flags and genuinely believing that the u.s. is a democracy and that the u.s is the worlds major proponent of democracy.How are you an advocate of democracy when you deliberately and methodiically work to topple democracies al laround the world?Aristide won with 90% of the vote in 2000! in a FREE and fair election unlike the sham "elections" in u.s

[dj4monie]

@ShitJitsu Its just a word, see Oscar Grant...

[ShitJitsu]

if this is fact why the fuck are the figureheads not brought to justice? and dont tell me justice is just a word.

[moneyteck]

you all blah blah blah about haiti as if the goverment wasnt created by americans, design by americans, trained killers by americans and expect it to rise on its own when america and its pussy hole friends decided it wasnt going to let it rise, so wtf haiti has to do about something it has nothing to do with.stop being idiots and see your soul for what it is..evil, evil evil from starting point to this day still is secretly. cant even call ur own black citizens the same as you..evil, evil evil
