  1. Wow! It started with Haiti… The beginning of the revolution to end Government corruption. When the American nation realizes that the United States used their names(property) to borrow money from the World Bank then cunningly appoints themselves trustee, putting promissory notes of no real value into circulation while slaving their citizens to pay back the debt that them and their families enjoy. The American Revolution could be way worst.

  2. BATAY OUVRIYE (Haiti's autonomous working class movement) i the ONLY workers movement doing shit, therest are imperialist and bourgeois yellow unions, not 1 mention and not 1 image, though they do all the work…..hmmm.

  3. The success of the Haitian Revolution over the French and British signaled revolution was possible to American slaves over their plantation landowners.
    But history shows that it would be capitalism and the emergence of the State that would overthrow slavery and the revolution was suppressed until the 1960's.
    The Haitian revolution embodied a humanizing force for all slaves whereas the abolition of the institution of slavery by capitalism and its government did nothing to abolish the racism of the institution. This shows that revolutions are not technical changes alone, they re evolutions through social changes or they are not revolutions at all but merely reforms.

  4. When speaking on stolen money and corruption in Haiti without mentioning ONE word about the Clinton's role should be a crime and exposes your lack of credibility.

  5. The real problem of Haiti is and always been the pink devils of France, USA, UN, mCAnada who have continue to exploit Haiti, propped up puppet government in order to keep Haiti and Haitians down. The REAL NEWS are liars just like all white people engaging in Haiti. UN is occupying Haiti (MINISTAH). together with IMF, missionaries, Mercenaries, Child Trafficers and abusers (OXFAM), Clinton mafia. US sanctions.
    The USA has the second LARGEST EMBASSY of the world in small island of Haiti……FOR WHAT REASON???.
    PInk devils are thieves, liars and murderers and need to be CUT OFF from Haiti and Haitian affairs… with ANY MEANS NECESSARY!

  6. One word: Corruption…..
    Whether the USA or Haiti THEY are so powerfully entrenched and yes it begins with the banksters, that once someone tries to clean it up or go against what THEY demand their leaders do they threaten, entrap, carefully strong arm persuade them or kill them.

  7. Haitians have a great tradition of winning revolutions. You'd think the rulers would understand that!

    The rivalry between capitalists happens constantly when one reduces the unit price from 16 hours of work to 14 hours and the difference of 2 hours is new surplus-value. The other capitalist lose out and this action sets off a series of actions where they all compete and the competition becomes a mechanism to gain more surplus-value in which they each take turns out performing each other 
    creating more and new surplus-value in the process. Needless to say, they develop into a complex social class. People call this rewarding bad behavior. 
    Americans have a knack for disguising social processes by using substitute familial terms and expressions in connection to the individual capitalist when it is the whole class of capitalists are enriched by the mechanism of competition. New market averages which reflects one or a few of them has gained a larger share of the market happens quietly in the background.
    But this quiet process of accumulation by reducing the labor-time in the object actually decreases wealth because what wealth is created is surplus-value for that class not for the masses.

  8. Ask the Clintons what happened to the billions they raised for Haiti. Ask them about their connections to human traffickers there. Ask Hillary if her brother likes his work with the gold mines. The Clintons and their friends robbed and raped these people. I hope for their sake there is justice and the Clintons get sent to Gitmo for their crimes.
