REMEMBERING RESISTANCE AND REVOLUTION: NO CORPORATE CORNER OF HISTORY FOR HAITI
http://www.us-organization.org/position/documents/RememberingResistanceandRevolution01-20-11.pdf
Los Angeles Sentinel, 01-20-11, p. A7
Dr. Maulana Karenga


The life-and-freedom-affirming spirit of the Haitian Revolution still haunts the historical memory and current mind of those whose im-perial lust for monopolized wealth and racial domination has not diminished over the centuries, but rather has found varied forms in which to clothe, camouflage and express it-self. They are determined to make the Haitian people pay for having the audacity to dare and win freedom, to boldly assume and exercise the right to be free without consent, especially from one’s oppressor, and to defeat four European armies using instruments of daily work and life, and weapons they seized from the enemy’s own hands and armories.

In doing this, they placed a signature event in the history of the human struggle for freedom, an enslaved people defeating their enslavers and establishing a republic in the name of Haitian and human freedom. And for this the imperial powers and their allies conclude, they cannot be forgiven. Thus, taking up the imperial gauntlet for White supremacy, as it has done repeatedly throughout history when European empires are overthrown, the U.S. invaded and occupied Haiti (first in 1915-1934) imposed sanctions, propped up political and military dictators, and overthrew the legitimate democratically-elected government of President Jean Bertrand Aristide, kidnapped him, forced him into exile and blocks the exercise of his constitutional right to return to Haiti without conditions of any kind.

Today, it is clear that the U.S. is the do-minant power in Haiti and plays a role similar to that it played in the first occupation, restructuring the country to its advantage, clearing space for greater corporate exploitation, sidelining the government and denying it the resources, monies and capacity to rebuild its institutions to serve the people. France and Canada co-sign these arrangements for their own historical and current imperial fantasies and faulty rationales. But again, it is the U.S. and U.S. corporations that are in control and benefit most.
In the year since the massive earthquake of January 12, 2010, in which up to 300,000 people lost their lives, and countless homes, livelihoods, businesses and government build-ings were destroyed, the U.S. has been the ma-jor decision-maker for the reconstruction and recovery of Haiti, constantly dismissing and excluding Haiti’s meaningful participation. Moreover, in terms of profit, a recent AP investigation found that American corporations received a $98.40 return from every $100 of Haitian reconstruction contracts given out by the U.S. government.

Furthermore, the Interim Haitian Recon-struction Commission, which decides how and where to spend monies donated to Haiti for reconstruction, is controlled by the U.S. and has met only four times. Also, there are only 12 Haitian members out of 26 of the IHRS, co-chaired by Bill Clinton. And they recently registered a complaint of their marginalization in the process with the real decisions being made by the executive committee composed of Clinton, the PM Jean-Max Bellerive and U.S. State Department employee for USAID, Gabriel Verret. From the beginning of the response to the disaster, the U.S. took control of the country, directed resources to international non-governmental organizations rather than the Haitian government and thus, structured its weakness and incapacity to rebuild its institutions and serve the people.

The promised aid of billions of dollars have not arrived and that which has arrived has gone to corporations and international re-lief organizations, not to the government for institutional building and rebuilding. The NGOs and corporations with their lucrative contracts have decided to hold the money and use the interest on the money to invest in Hai-ti. Their aim is for long-term organizational advantage not immediate and urgent service to the people. Thus, approximately one million people still remain in temporary camps and an estimated 170,000 people are infected with cholera and 4,000 killed when a strong program of health care, clean water and sanitary conditions could have checked the epidemic early.

The recent election in Haiti which was endorsed, financed and monitored by the U.S. and its international allies, associates and representatives, was rightfully denounced and rejected as illegitimate and rife with fraud. And indeed, how could it be otherwise with its tacit acceptance of the coup d’état by the U.S., France and Canada; its exclusion of the largest party in Haiti, Parti Lavalas; its fraudulent lists; the thuggery against the people; the non-participation of 3/4 of the voting population; and the rejection of the election by the majority of candidates themselves.

Clearly, the return of Jean-Claude “Baby Doc” Duvalier can only add chaos and confusion, harm to the people, and damage to the country and democratic prospect. It is certainly a classic case of U.S. hypocrisy, contradiction and cold-blooded disregard for the will of the Haitian people to allow its former client-dictator to return and at the same time block the constitutionally guaranteed right to return of the democratically-elected President of Haiti, Jean Bertrand Aristide.

The imperial powers thrive on division, confusion and vulnerabilities of all kinds. There is no fear of a divided and confused people; that is why division and confusion must be fostered among them. There is no fear of the hireling who is ever-ready to be rented, bought or leased for life; that is why the incorruptible and committed must be captured, killed, discredited and done away with by the oppressor in various ways. And there is no fear of the willingly enslaved and oppressed who assume a servile posture and position during the fight for freedom and even after its achievement; that is why the enslaver and oppressor must control the mind, break the will and make the enslaved and oppressed see freedom in oppression, liberation in enslave-ment, and usefulness to the dominant group as the best and only way forward.

Whatever use the U.S. has for Duvalier, it suggests desperation to import a discredited dependent with such a history of blood, brutality and horror on his hands. But the people of Haiti will not be bamboozled or coerced into a corner of corporate history to which the U.S. would assign them. They will continue to demand self-determination, decisive participation in the reconstruction of their own country and the restoration of democracy, the return of their democratically-elected President, Pres. Aristide, and the rightful and full participation of Lavalas.

And we must support them in these struggles and the struggles to hold accountable the NGOs, international governments and funding institutions; to remove the occupation forces under UN and U.S. auspices; establish security, governmental capacity, economic development, agriculture, health care, water and reforestation projects; and to frame and foster a new society in the interest of the Haitian people and human history on a whole new level.

Pou moun ki panse Barack Obama pral pèdi lakap epi ede yo reyalize fantezi rayisman ki nan kè yo pou yon Ayisyen parèy yo - ki pètèt reyalize sa yo ta reve reyalize nan plas li - mwen kwè pawol Dr. Karenga yo ka klere lantèn nou.

Dr. Karenga se pa nenpot ti zentèlektyèl tankou dyolè nou yo k ap plede ekri pwèm toutlasentjounen pou chak pwoblèm sosyete nou an ap konfwonte. Se yon pitit Lafrik ki fèt Ozetazini, ki mete lod nan panse li epi ki amonize refleksyon entèlektyèl ak aksyon pratik.

Jodi a KWANZAA se youn nan selebrasyon kiltirèl ki pi popilè e k ap vale teren stoupatou sou planèt la. Menm vye Bush patsipe nan selebrasyon Kwanzaa pandan li te volè tit Prezidan an Ozetazini. Ane sa a, mwen te gen privilèj patisipe ak fanmi mwen nan selebrasyon KWANZAA Ottawa ak oganizasyon pan-Afriken nou te ede kreye sa gen 10 ane pase www.jakukonbit.com

Moun ki konprann sa sa vle di pou ou kontwui sou baz syantifik tankou Dr. Karenga, pa p janm aplodi zak kriminèl bann sovaj ki te anvayi yon lopital inivèsitè, epi fè li tounen yon barak militè. Nèg ki pa soufri maladi esklavaj mantal ap toujou kanpe an kwa kont kolon enperyalis ki vle avili Ayiti, keseswa atravè zak sovaj kolon enperyalis yo komèt dirèkteman osnon palentèmedyè tchoul yo.

Lè Dr. Aristide pral retounen lakay li, ou gen pou ou wè yon latriye Nèg ak Nègès ki toujou pran pozisyon vètikal kont sipremasi blan an, ki pral asire yo lemonn antye konprann sa k ap pase la a. Grandèt John Maxwell, piti Jamayik, travèse lot bo lantouraj lavi a, men lespri li avèk nou - e li kite bon tras, bèl tras. Ozetazini, sou kontinan Lafrik, ann Ewop, sou kontinan Lamerik la ak moun solid tankou Eduardo Galéano...moun ki gen nen nan figi yo pral kanpe pou yo ede lajistis ak laverite kase kou manti ak mechanste. Nan ane 2004, pa biye, anpil moun nwa ki gen karaktè ak blan ki gen konsyans te denonse krim rasis 29 fevriye 2004 la pou sa li te ye a. Menm oganizasyon konsèvatè tankou CARICOM ak African Union te sètoblije denonse krim Baby Bush te komèt ak Uncle Tom li yo. Mezanmi, Kote Colin Powell pral kache pou verite randall Robinson pral kontinye mete nan lari?

Se pa yon kesyon revanch, se yon kesyon DIYITE - malerezman se pa tout moun ki bay tèt yo libète pou yo asosye yo ak esans nasyon NÈG nou ye a. Noumenm, nou selebre ak frè ak sè nou ki blan, azyatik, arab bèlte ak orijinalite ras pa yo. Konsa tou, non sèlman noumenm nou asime idantite nèg nou, nou refize fè sa ak okenn eskiz osnon tanpri souple, osnon esplikasyon kèlkonk. Nou selebre pwop orijinalite ak idantite rasyal pa nou kom Nèg. Chak jou, nou di Osiris mèsi, daprèzavwa GranNèg sa a te chwazi kreye nou pami ras premye pitit li yo. Nou kanpe ak manman nou chak jou, jou li rich tankou jou li pov! Epi that's it!

MAULENA KARENGA,MOLEFI ASSANTE,RANDALL ROBINSON elt..; se gwo entelektyel devan Bondye aloske tout jounalist nan Wall St se vole grame - mwen konprann!

Le moun bezwen ekriti ki sipote sa yo deja kwe yap jwenn youn bagay kan menm. Nivo etid moun pa ba yo kat blanch pou yo tounen Aristote dixit!

Si houngan, tafyate ka jwenn youn verset nan bib la ki sipote pratik yo se pa fanatik aveg ki pap ka jwenn youn atik ki sipote sa yo vle di yo menm!

Genyen anpil verite nan atik la men USA ak Duvalier pa ka tounen dra blan pou kouvri enbesilite, incapicite, kretinism, koripsyon, vol, krim, malpalan, echec ak defaite Jean Bertrand Aristide pendan adminsitrasyon li! Se menm USA a ke lavalasyen te mete fe ate pou resevwa le yo te mennn leader yo a, profet yo a, le 20 mil solda te rantre pendan peyi a te sou anbago. No pap ka bouche pawol tret a la nasyon an fe kont peyi'a! Nou pap ka revize listwa pou fe nou kwe ke dyab la se Papa Bondye jodya!

Nou pa ka dim ke Jean Bertrand Aristide pat okouran de animosite entenasyonal al kont Ayiti an jeneral!

Nou pa ka dim ke msie pat konnen ke genyen youn antant andt enperyalist entenasyonal ak oligachi tradisyonel lakay la, si lentensyon li sete aji pou benefisye mas pep pov ki pat genyen lavwa ochapit yo - mwen kopye menm vokab tradisyonel swadizan goch aysienn nan - alo se pou li te genyen youn strateji byen defini, youn plan byen kalkile -

Le ou pwal nan lage, ou menm le ou pwal jwe youn match football, si se ak Bresil ou pwal jwe fok ou genyen youn strateji pou Bresil, ou ka pedi men tout moun ap we ke ou te prepare, ou te genyen youn strateji ke ou pat ka devlope, ou pedi men ou soti la tete haute. Men le oyun nonm san prensip, san vale pesonel, san kwayans, san kolonn vetebral tankou Aristide ki trayi Bondye li, avili legliz li, vole e touye menm fanatik li, ki ap genyen pawol devan pesonn msei se oyun ansanm vid, oyun tono vid kap fe bri pou granmesi!

Vyann sa'a se youn move vyann ki pa kapab e ki pap janm pwan koule, Jean Bertrand met genyen 20 milyon doktora, li met pale tout dyalek ak lang ki an Afrik li app janm chanje!

Grandèt yo rele ABDIAS DE NASCIMENTO ,Brezilyen sa a ki gen 96 zan daj sou tèt li;ki te anseye lan Inivèsite ann AFRIK,ETAZINI ak sètènman BREZIL di menm bagay lan:

""We believe that it is not in the nature of traditional African culture to be static and /or non-progressive,but that this condition was imposed upon them by the force of the arms of conquest.African cultures are in fact what we make of them;they are flexible and creative enough to incorporate those ""scientific"" and progressive values that will serve them well.But they also contain their own intrinsic value and valuable science,they also offer a wealth of needed wisdom that is pertinent to our organic existence.

We must not reject out of hand the valid fundaments of our ancestral cultures,for they will be the spirit and the substance of a tomorrow for which the tired mechanical platitudes of Europe,have failed to prepare us
