The 2004 coup in Haiti - Aristide and the Endless Revolution by Nicolas Rossier

http://www.aristidethefilm.com

An hour south of Miami is the Western Hemisphere's poorest nation, Haiti. In 1991 its citizens elected a former Roman Catholic priest and exponent of liberation theology, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, as president. Popular among Haiti's poor and disenfranchised, Aristide become a target of Haiti's business interests (and the political parties that served those interests) because of his daring policies which tried to raise the standard of living for the huge majority of Haitians. During his second term in office, his government came under increasing pressure from many sides and by 2004 political violence had escalated sharply. On February 29, 2004, Aristide and his family left Haiti on a US-dispatched airplane -- according to Aristide, against his will; the US claims with his full cooperation.

Aristide a "dictator" lol Brutal dicators dont get ELECTED TWICE and especially with over 90% of the vote in free, fair and supervised elections. Aristiede was a populist president. A haitian nationalist who wanted freedom from white neo-colonialism. Aristide "resigned". lol! SO he "resigned" and went halfway across the globe to the central african republic a country hes never been to before? The mass media is ZIONIST CONTROLLED THey make victims appear guilty and prey on ignorance

This was the first US overthrow of a nation since the internet age and watching it unfold was amazing. 100,000 M16s were handed off to a bunch of thugs in the Dominican Republic who then crossed the border with a "death to all who oppose us" agenda. The CIA forced the President to leave the country and the media presented a former priest who worked with the poor as a brutal dictator facing a popular uprising thus revealing they were complicit in the plot.

Louisiana at the time it was for the french, after the Haitian kick the french out of Haiti they went into ruins and had to give up Louisiana, so i think this is why the french are so mad and revenging Haitiansjust like 1919, and french ow Haiti money that they cannot pay look it up,

lol iT IS so funny that french white people cannot accept the fact that HAITIAN nation kick their ass out of the Haiti quicker then any other nation that kick their asses IN THE PASS,1919 and they do not own Haitians for slave anymore and Haitian are not like the other slave islands they still own and control, even it is mess-up over there to but since they keep them in fear and left overs they shot their mouth they prefer white people give them hell instead to be their slave again.

This documentary really moved me. The most poignant moment was when a Haitian was asked his opinion about the ousting of Aristide. You saw that he was a humble and poor man. He said he knew that the military thug holding the gun in the background might kill him, but that he was ready to die in order to speak his mind and say that he was wanted Aristide back and an end to the occupation of Haiti.

This just shows how if you dont go americas way they will try to break you smh so much for democracy for haiti

[Godgenes]

the CIA didnt force aristide to leave haiti, he was ABDUCTED overnight by u.s. marines. The next day the zionist media claimed aristide "resigned". NOt to mention this was a man elected TWICE. The second time with 90% of the popular vote. SO much for "democracy" heh? The U.S. has NEVER supported democracy. The paramilitary killers who went on a killing spree in haiti were of coursed armed by the PENTAGON. THe amerikkkan media reported the mayhem they caused as a "democratic uprising"
