In the video above, Haiti’s Presidential Candidate, former Haitian Konpas singer, Michel “Sweet Mickey” Martelly admits to having used crack cocaine while living in Miami, FL between the years of 1986-1987. The video is in Haitian Creole, but the response by Martelly when asked by the interviewer in Creole, “Michel Martelly were you ever exposed to drugs?” Martelly responds stating he first used marijuana, then the clear reference to using crack, and thinking it was very good, but damaging. This can be understood even to an English speaker when he says, “M’ te fimen crack:” which in Haitian Creole means “I smoked crack.” Martelly admits in the video that after two years of crack use he got control of himself and quit, to his credit, because he realized the drug was destroying his life, He further goes on to say that he was in the military academy in Haiti but only made the level of Cadet because he was so troublesome that he got expelled. After being asked what his academic specialty is, Martelly admits that he attended over five different colleges, quite similar to Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin, but unlike Palin, Martelly admits he never completed any level of higher education and has what is equivalent to a High School diploma. He brags about not believing in the need for an education, and that a man can come to his own understanding of the world without such things. He further goes on to talk about his music career and even admits that he has no music training and can’t even read music or really play any instrument besides a couple of notes.

After the Obama administration signaled that it would consider nullifying Haiti’s admittedly fraudulent election exposed here, though foolishly allowing it in the first place, disregarding strong warnings from Republican members of the U.S. Senate Foreign Relations committee, and over 45 mostly Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representative due to its clearly visible impending fraud, the Administration took a different posture.

The bipartisan push for warning Obama’s Administration from supporting the November, 201o election stemmed from Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) being completely stacked with cronies of outgoing Haitian President Rene Preval. Obama’s Administration signaled that as long as a key stipulation required by them was met for nullifying the November 28, 2010 Haiti election, they would push for that decision.

The United States has significant influence over the Organization of the American States (OAS), which is usually viewed by many skeptics as nothing more than an arm for American foreign policy in the Caribbean and South America. It was the OAS that was responsible for organizing and monitoring Haiti’s November 28, 2010 election, which resulted in stuffed ballots, voter intimidation, discounted ballots of Haitian’s registered to vote, and failure to effectively purge names of Haitians who died in the earthquake, and ensuing cholera epidemic from the voter roles.

For Obama, as long as the OAS published a report that proved that the Haitian election was seriously tampered with, and the best remedy was to nullify the election and start from scratch with a new CEP replacing Preval’s flunkies, the November 28, 2010 sham of an election, which was charged to be overseen by the OAS in the first place, would be erased from Haiti’s political history and a fresh start with Obama behind it would give Haitians more than a mere semblance of democracy. Sadly that did not occur.

The overtly fraudulent November, 2010 election resulted in the need for a second round runoff between Former Haitian First Lady Mirlande H.Manigat, a popular and well respected former parliamentarian, Sorbonne graduate, and Constitutional Law scholar, and the highly unpopular Preval flunky, Jude Celestin. Celestin was recently found to have lied about his Degree in engineering from a University in Switzerland. He was actually a well known a D.J. who was very popular with the ladies. To even the uninformed observer of Haitian Politics it was clear the election was a scam because Jude Celestin in most polls taken before the November 2010 was far from the top two candidates. This was due to his taint from being a pathetically willing acolyte of currently corrupt President Rene Preval.

Therefore, the November 28, 2010 election results did nothing but confirm that the election was a set up for Preval to ensure that his handpicked successor, Jude Celestin, would be sitting on top of the billions of dollars in foreign aid after the money started rolling in. The irony is that it was the international community who pushed for this election immediately after Haiti faced one of the worst natural disasters in modern history, instead of creating a provisional government to govern during the time needed to rebuild the country. Yet, that same international community is now decrying this foreseeable election debacle.
The first round of the elections on November 28, 2010 fraudulently showed that the vote tally between Manigat and Celestin were too close to call while Michele “Sweet Mickey” Martelly came in third and was disqualified from competing in the impending runoff because he was too far behind Celestin (too far by less than 10%.) Martelly, viewed in the video above admitting he smoked crack, was leading a strong campaign that allowed many of Haiti’s population, a significant number of whom are under 30 years of age, to forget many of his more nefarious political acts and affiliations. This political amnesia among the Haitian people combined with Martelly’s charm laced with dubious “populist claims” allowed Haiti’s inexperience with democracy to shine through by allowing Michel “Sweet Mickey” Martelly to have been expected as second in popularity only to Mirlande Manigat.

In Haitian politics being the demagogue candidate of choice is common due to the lack of political sophistication of Haiti’s vast ocean of poor combined with the country’s lack of history with truly democratic elections.

If the suffering poor and historically disenfranchised Haitian people had known or remembered some of Michel Martelly’s actions during his time as a Konpas singer, his political popularity would have been inconceivable:

From: “Michel Martelly: Stealth Duvalierist”

Some have questioned his presidential suitability by pointing to his vulgar antics as a konpas musician over the last two decades, where he often made demeaning comments about women and periodically dropped his trousers to bare his backside. The real problem with Martelly, however, is not his perceived immorality, but his heinous political history and close affiliation with the reactionary “forces of darkness,” as they are called in Haiti, which have snuffed out each genuine attempt Haitians have made over the past 20 years to elect a democratic government. Far from a champion of democracy, Martelly has been a cheerleader for, and perhaps even a participant in, bloody coups d’état and military rule.
Duvalierist Affinities

Under the Duvalier dictatorship, Martelly ran the Garage, a nightclub patronized by army officers and members of Haiti’s tiny ruling class. At a recent press conference, Martelly spoke nostalgically of the Duvalierist era, when François “Papa Doc” Duvalier and later his son Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” enforced their iron rule with gun and machete wielding Tonton Macoutes, a sort of Haitian Gestapo. “Today the dog is eating its vomit,” lamented Marcus Garcia of Radio Mélodie FM in a Dec. 8 editorial. While “Michel Martelly openly defends the Duvalier regime in a press conference,” the youth who have been duped into supporting him are “without memory of [the infamous political prison] Fort Dimanche-Fort La mort, without memory of the Nov. 29, 1987 electoral massacre,” when neo-Duvalierist thugs killed hundreds of would-be voters

In a 2002 article, the Washington Post explained how the konpa singer was a long-time “favorite of the thugs who worked on behalf of the hated Duvalier family dictatorship before its 1986 collapse.” But the mainstream media of late has yet to pick up on the singer’s past affiliations. Duvalierist affinities should not be taken lightly. Human rights groups such as the League of Former Political Prisoners and Families of the Disappeared compiled a partial list of several thousand of the Duvalier regime’s victims, which was published in Haïti Progrès in 1987, but total estimates of those killed under the U.S.-backed 29-year long dictatorship range from 30,000 to 50,000 people. After Baby Doc’s fall in February 1986, a mass democratic movement, long repressed by the Duvaliers, burst forth and became known as the Lavalas, or flood. Martelly quickly became a bitter Lavalas opponent, making trenchant attacks against the popular movement in his songs played widely on Haitian radio.

Furthermore, Martelly’s actions during the rule of Former President Jean Bertrand Aristide can be found here as well:

Following his dramatic election with 67% of the vote in Dec. 16, 1990 elections, Jean-Bertrand Aristide, a former parish priest and Lavalas movement leader, was inaugurated on Feb. 7, 1991 as Haiti’s democratically elected president, but then deposed by a military coup, for the first time, on Sep. 30, 1991, only eight months into his first term. Martelly “was closely identified with sympathizers of the 1991 military coup that ousted former President Jean- Bertrand Aristide,” the Miami Herald observed in 1996.
The military junta that ruled Haiti between 1991 and 1994 was bloody and brutal. According to Human Rights Watch, some 5,000 people were murdered by the junta’s soldiers and paramilitaries, and thousands more tortured and raped. Hundreds of thousands were driven into hiding and exile.Martelly became the coup’s joker, applauding the junta while it was in power. He was friends with the dreaded Lt. Col. Michel François, who, as Police Chief, was the principal director of the coup’s executioners.

This is the man the OAS has determined to be the second runner up in Haiti’s election to face Mirlande Manigat, Constitutional Scholar, parliamentarian, and a well regarded intellectual.

The OAS report that the Obama administration sought out before it would move to nullify the election clearly admits that there was widespread fraud in the November 28, 2010 election. The Center for Economic and Policy Research, (CEPR) provided a competent and scathing analysis of the OAS report:

CEPR’s analysis found that the OAS report cannot help determine the outcome of the first round of Haiti’s election.
“This report can’t salvage an election that was illegitimate, where nearly three-quarters of the electorate didn’t vote, and where the vote count of the minority that did vote was severely compromised,” said Mark Weisbrot, CEPR Co-Director and co-author of the report, “Haiti’s Fatally Flawed Election.”

CEPR has been unable to find a presidential election in the Western Hemisphere, including Haiti, with such a low turnout, going back to 1947. Haiti’s parliamentary election of 2009, in which the country’s most popular political party was also banned, had a turnout of less than 10 percent.

The OAS report does confirm some of the most important conclusions from CEPR’s analysis of the elections, which was published on Sunday. For example, the OAS finds that 12 percent of the tally sheets were either not received by the Provisional Electoral Council or were quarantined – a much larger number of lost votes than the OAS or the Provisional Electoral Council (CEP) had previously publicly acknowledged.

Yet the OAS report concludes that the election should not be re-run, but rather that the results should be changed so that Michel Martelly, rather than the government candidate Jude Celestin, would finish second and therefore proceed to a run-off election. But it is easy to see that there is no sound basis for such a conclusion.

Hence, because of the OAS’s inability to assure a secure election, and its unwillingness to nullify the November polls and hold a fair one without the influence of outgoing President Preval’s cronies on Haiti’s Provisional Electoral Council (CEP), we now have the former crack cocaine using, Duvalier enabler Michel “Sweet Mickey” Martelly having a very possible chance of becoming Haiti’s next President.

This alone shows that noise coming out of the Obama administration regarding nullifying the November 28, 2010 election was nothing but a smoke screen to allow the OAS–which works in concert with U.S. on these issues–to lay down the hammer while Obama and his State Department could mendaciously claim innocence in this newfound Haiti debacle.

Evidence of the Obama administration’s position on this subject can be found here:

The U.S. State Department said Friday it revoked the visas of about a dozen Haitian officials, increasing pressure on the government to drop its favored candidate from the presidential runoff in favor of a popular contender who is warning of renewed protests if he is not on the ballot.
Revoking visas that let prominent Haitians enter the United States is the latest step in an escalating effort to persuade Haiti’s government to accept international monitors’ finding that Michel Martelly rightfully belongs on the second-round ballot.

Martelly has adopted a combative stance and urged his supporters to take to the streets peacefully if the electoral council does not allow him to run against top vote-getter Mirlande Manigat in the runoff, in place of Jude Celestin. Demonstrations in December shut down all Haiti’s major cities for days, hampering earthquake reconstruction and efforts to halt a cholera outbreak that has killed nearly 4,000 people

At this point one must ask: Is Obama continuing the same policy of Haiti destabilization that Both the Clinton and Bush administrations have taken over the last 20 years such as the U.S. sponsored ouster of democratically elected President Jean-Betrand Aristede? Or is Obama trying to further extend the U.S. occupation of Haiti as currently overseen by the U.N Minustah or “Peace Keepers”.

Regardless, its a sad state of affairs when the first Independent Black Republic in history to gain its freedom in a slave revolt, Haiti, has to fear the machinations of America’s “First Black President” out of a sheer will to survive.

Mwen te deja predi yon anons konsa lan plizyè pos ke m te mete sou sit lan.

Maten an mwen te mete ke meriken ap pouse Mateli e yo se premye moun ki pral souliyen li se yon devègonde.

Ilari vin voye Mateli monte jodya a.
Eske nou kwè li pa konnen kisa misye te konn fè?
Yo jwen yon zanno kay ofèv lan pou fe nou pi won anko.
Konsa ya kapab mete pye yo so kou ou pi byen.

Jan yon moun remake:
Sa yo genyen ak Ayiti a serye anpil, pask menm avèk gwo kriz ki ap dewoule ann Ejipt, Ilari bay Ayiti priyorite.

Apre sa na jwen ayisyen ki pral di meriken gen dwa fout nou kout pye.

Tou sa se bagay pou yo fini ak ti prestij ki te rete peyi a.

Si Mateli ta vin prezidan, se kalite piblisite sayo ki tap parèt lan tout jounal, jou inogirasyon an.

mezanmi fok nou pa di ke Hilary vinn voye martelly monte .se nou ki mande OEA pou vinn arbitre skandal lakay nou .OEA bay rekomandatyon li .Hilary pat nan verifye vot yo li di se pou nou adopte sa ekspè LOEA di ya ki donk si se martelly ki rive an dezyem vre se li ki pou ale nan dezyem tou ak madan manigat.Se nou ki te pou konnen pou nou pat rele OEA vinn rantre nan zafè nou.Dayè ni Hilary ni bill clinton di ke yo pa genyen kandida.Nou toujou ap chache moun pou nou blame pou enkonpetans nou ak malonèteté nou.Hilary senpleman di se pou vot pep la respekte.

Samble ke gen yon FISSURE nan camp Repons Peyizan ki genle sispek Martelly gen yon ti sang Diktate lakay li, epi Divalieris pur et dur ap anvayi yo YO RALE KO YO.

Doub, nou te dwe atann nou a sa.

Tout se magouy.
Ki moun ki kwè ke Mateli ap defann enterè peyizan konsaa?
Depi ki lè?

Se nomal tou kom mwen te deja di l ke politik Mateli ta p atire divalyeris. Tout eta major misye se ansyen Frahpis ak makout e asosiasyon l tout toujou ak moun sayo.

Kidonk ki afè de Repons peyizan saa?

Hilary senpleman di se pou vot pep la respekte.
Epi Wozo, depi kilè moun Klinntonn yo ak lot meriken yo te konn respekte volonte pèp ayisyen?

Sassaye

eske se pa yo ki te mennen Aristide tounen?mwen ka fè erè paske politik se yon jwet brital men mwen pa wè sou ki sa w baze pou di ke Hilary vinn voye martelly monte ya non.si genyne moun ki voye martelly monte se Preval ki mande OEA pou vinn verifye resilta elektyon 28 Novembre lan.Ni Hilary ni bill Clinton di yo pa genyen kandida men yo di se pou vot pep la respekte ki se yon bagay ke tout moun mande.Hilary pat nan konte vot ,li di ke se CEP ki pou bay resilta an nou gade pou nou wè.zafè blame lot moun pou tout erè ke nou fè fok nou sispann bagay saa.se sak fè Guy philippe te di nou ba anbasad ameriken plis enpotans ke li genyen.

zafè blame lot moun pou tout erè ke nou fè fok nou sispann bagay saa.

Wozo se pou w sispann pawòl saa...

Ni wou menm, ni mwen menm nou pa dakò avèk erè dirijan nou yo ap komèt.
Se wòl nou pou kritike yo pou move desizyon yo pran ki pa bon pou peyi an.
Alò nou pa lan biznis defann ni dedwane yo.

Epi si nou pa epole desizyon yo pran, nou pa oblije aksepte ankese tout
konsekans erè ke yo komèt.

Men se pou w konpran politik etranje ap mennen kont Ayiti.

Klinntonn yo te mennen Aristid tounen apre Bush finn fè koudeta atravè Cedras ak lame an. Se pa paske yo te renmen Aristid konsa.

Se paske yo te wè ke se sèl jan pou yo te rete envazyon masif ayisyen nèg nwè lan peyi yo.

Ou pa sonje tout presyon yo te ekzèse sou Aristid pou fè li renonse ak tout politik sosyal li te genyen pou l sa swiv politik neyoliberal pa yo.

Se yo ki te di si ya p fè l tounen, se pou l bliye 3 zan eksil lan e ke yo te konte lan manda 5 an li ya.

Se pa yo ki te mete anbago paske Aristid pa t koute yo apre li finn retounen.
Se pa yo ki te ede Apaid ak Gnbis pou dechouke Aristid?

Ou dwe konnen rès lan........

Ma p repete anko: Pandan gen yon gwo kriz ann Ejipt ki se pi gwo alye meriken lan mwayenoryan, Ilari pito vinn ann Ayiti, vin di se pou ayisyen swiv rekomandasyon OEA.

Yon rekomandasyon pa yon lòd.

Gouvènman ayisyen gendwa aksepte oubyen refize yon rekomandasyon.
Yo di ke prezidan peyi an kont rekomandasyon an paske li pa konfom.
Se yon magouy politik li ye e non yon rekontaj tout vòt yo.
Yo ranvèse yon kontaj san yo pa rekonte.

Ou pa konnen OEA se sou lobedyans meriken yo ye?
Kilès ki kapab di ke desizyon OEA pa t pran sou presyon Klinntonn yo menm?

Preval te gen dwa rele OEA, kom Ayiti se manm oganizasyon saa, pou vinn fè ekspètiz pou eklèsi pwoblèm tabilasyon vòt yo.
Pèsonèlman mwen pa dako ak sa, men se yon lot istwa.

"Se pa yo ki te ede Apaid ak Gnbis pou dechouke Aristid?"

Ki yo sa wap pale la?nou fè komsi yon peyi se yon gwoup omojenn kote tout moun panse menm jan mwen pa kwè ou ka ba Clinton responsabilite sa Georges Bush ak Devillepin ak Paradis fè.nan la vi saa se banm pou ba w;there is no free lunch my friend; ou pa ka al pran pwen ka shango epi pou leve koken ak li.se wou ki pou te konen pou pa te ale ka shango.

genyen fò ou pa atake tou tan ou pa pre pou pwoteje aryè w.se erè sa yo pou nou evite fè jou nan reprann pouvwa ankò.Fok nou aprann defann pouvwa ke pep la konfye nou.se pa chita lakay nou ap di vini vit.

Sam ta renmen konnen eske Se Clinton ki ede Gnbist yo jete Arisitde an 2004?se kestyon saa mwen pose Sassaye.

Mwen si ke si se GORE ki te eli;yo pa t ap jete ARISTIDE;se menm jan mwen si, si se MC CAIN ki te eli; STANLEY LUCAS ak zanmi l yo t ap jwenn yon mwayen pou yo ranvèse PREVAL;e enstale yon gouvènman neyo-divalyeris bout di.

Wozo, se politik meriken ki destabilize Aristid ak tout peyi an depi misye te komanse rezizte presyon ke yo ta p mete sou li anvan li retounen.
Administrasyon Klinntonn nan komanse sanksyon ekonomik paske Aristid pa t vle aplike politik neyoliberal yo ta p fòse lan gagann li.

Klinntonn limenm admèt li kraze agrikilti peyi an e ke li regrèt domaj li koze.
Se yon ipokrizi sa ye.
Se menmjan yo te bloke yon pwojè ki te byen elabore pou distribisyon dlo lan peyi an.

Sa w vle ke m di an: Klinntonn pa t bay lòd pou finanse mouvman 184 e nèg Gifilip yo paske Bush te prezidan lè saa. Men li te prepare teren an pou yo depi anvan Bush te rive.

Se menm jan, pandan kanpay prezidansyèl meriken yo, mwen ta p di se pou nou pa konprann Obama pral vinn regle pwoblèm nou paske li nwa.
Kelkeswa moun ki prezidan lan peyi saa, li genyen yon liy byen demake pou l swiv swadizan pou sekirite nasyonal.

Sassaye an nou fè yon ti lojik mwen konnen ke mwen genyen rekonesans pou Eta Zuni ki donk mwen pa neutre men tou lè w di Clinton krase agrikilti peyi ya eske se vre.Clinton tap defann enterè peyil se nou ki pou te defann enterè peyi pa nou ki jan fè li pa kraze agrikilti an dominikani?si ayisyen refize viv selon moyen pou se gress porc la ki kwit li epi tou tan nap mande isirye prete lajan pou nou al nan bal nou pa ka di se yo ki anpeche nou viv.isirye yo pajanm prete w lajan pa altruisme ou genyen yon enterè wap peye kan menm yon jan ou yon lot.Yo pa krase agrikilti kiba .Clinton pa tap kite la Russie vinn kraze agrikilti lakay li.Mwen se bagay saa ke mwen pa ka dakò ak ayisyen depi mwen jenn gason mwen tande nap plenyen de ameriken men tonnè si nou konnen yon moun se lenmi nou retire li nan sen nou.

lollllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll He's just want his fifteen minutes of glory.. he has it.

Bon poukisa video saa paret sou forum lan koulyè ya epi diran kanpay presidantyel o Zeta Zuni moun pat janm wè video saa .Eske sa vle di si Obama ka presidan malgre li se yon crack head e li fè yon malendren netoye pipe li deyè yon machine ki donk nanpren mal si micky vinn presidan.Lè ti neg ap defann caste yo ,klan yo nanpren lojik yo pap mete devan pou padone lèdè yo.se pa manti rosiyol menm plimaj toujou chante menm jan.

OBAMA se yon entelijan ;li te pran yo de vitès.
CLINTON limenm se pa t de sa sèlman yo te akize ;te gen yon seri temwanyaj ki te konn fèt ki di ke gen prèv ke se CLINTON ki te touye VINCE FOSTER.
Lè sa a te gen espesyalis,kriminolojis,pwofesè INIVÈSITE ki ap di ke pa gen dout ke se sa ki te fèt.

Si se ta ann AYITI ,pa t ap gen dlo pou lave CLINTON.Ann AYITI ,depi yon moun te pase 2 jou lekòl;ou te gentan se espesyalis;menm si ou pa ka distenge ant bounda w ak koud ou.

Ekstrèm dwat ETAZINI an ;se menm bagay ak ekstrèm dwat ann AYITI an;yo espesyalize lan bay manti.

Se tankou jounal ekstrèm dwat ,pa ekselans,yo rele WALL STREET JOURNAL lan ,te konn pibliye sòt de atik manti sa yo sou CLINTON ak madanm li ;mwen konn wè ti nèg konn repwodwi menm sòt de atik sa yo ki konsène ARISTIDE

Kudos to Mr. Martelly for having the courage to admit his faults. More power to him for having the strength to overcome them. He probably committed a major blunder for being honest, and that's exactly what's needed among our polititians. You've earned my respect brother Martelly. If I were able to vote I probably would not vote for you because I believe Mrs. Manigat is the better candidate. Go Micky, go!!
