TO ENSURE AFRICANS REMAIN POOR ON ABOLITIONIST ISLAND OF HAITI
FRENCH, BRITISH, GERMAN, SPANISH AND AMERICAN CRIMINALS WORKED HAND IN HAND TO ENSURE AFRICANS REMAIN DIRT POOR ON ABOLITIONIST ISLAND OF HAITI
"in 1805, French foreign minister Prince Charles Talleyrand wrote to U.S Secretary of State James Madison: “the existence of a Negro people in arms, occupying a country it has soiled by the most criminal acts, is a horrible spectacle for all white nations.”
The United States responded by banning trade with Haiti in 1806. The embargo was renewed in 1807 and 1809.
Later, in 1825, with the help of other white powers of the time, France began extorting a ransom which would eventually amount to 90 million gold francs from the young Black Republic". (http://www.godisnotwhite.com/giantstepinhaiti/)
1853: French Admiral Duquesne threatens to bombard Port-au-Prince to restart payments on the French ransom which had been stopped in 1852 by Haitian Emperor Faustin Soulouque. The latter replied: "Je repousserai la force par la force" (I will meet force with force), and Duquesne let the matter rest. (Written in Blood, Heiln p199)
1857-1900: U.S.A. intervenes 19 times in Haitian affairs, often with gun-boat diplomacy.
July1861: Spanish gun-boat aggression against Haiti—At issue: Haitian support to Dominican generals Cabral and Sanchez who were resisting attempted Spanish annexation of Dominican Republic. Spanish Admiral Rubalcava collects $200,000 ransom and 21-gun salute from Haitian President Fabre Nicholas Géffrard.
1861-1865: Spain annexes neighboring Dominican Republic by invitation of its white and mulatto minority: Fearing a return of slavery on the island, Haiti helps anti-Spanish forces to regain Dominican Republic’s independence. (HBC, p183)
[1862: End of "legalized" racial slavery in the United States of America and formal diplomatic recognition by that nation of the Republic of Haiti].
1870: U.S. gun-boat aggression against Haiti using flagship U.S.S. Dictator (This same year, the 15th Amendment is adopted, finally giving Black males the right to vote in the U.S.A) .
1872: German gun-boat aggression against Haiti. Commodore Basch collects 3000 Sterling Pounds from the Haitian government and defames Haitian flag with German excrement.
1877: March: French gun-boat aggression against Haiti. At issue: resumption of payments on the 1825 ransom—balance then re-estimated at 20 million Francs-or. December: Repeat of Spanish gun-boat aggression against Haiti. At issue: Suspected Haitian assistance to rebels fighting to abolish slavery in Cuba.
August 1883: In the midst of popular riots in the capital city of Port-au-Prince, diplomatic representatives of France, Britain, Germany, Belgium, Spain, Holland, Norway and Sweden sign ultimatum threatening Haitian President Lysius Féllicité Salomon of bombarding Haiti’s National Palace.
1884: Spenser St-John, former British Consul-General in Haiti publishes Hayti: Or the Black Republic in which Haiti is deemed "an island of «Vaudoux» practicing cannibals". His will be followed by a host of other anti-Haiti, white supremacist publications like Where Black Rules White (Prichard, 1910), in which the American author says of Haitians and of their religion « the perpetuation of a cult so degrading must have its source deep in the character of the race. Yet you find that these undoubted cannibals can on occasion be both kind-hearted and hospitable. Perhaps the root of it all lies in their squalid ignorance». Hollywood would pick-up the theme with a string of "Zombie" pictures, starting in the 1930s.
1886-88: Legalised racial slavery finally abolished in Spanish and Portuguese colonies (Cuba, Brazil)]
1890: First, using the diplomatic skills of Black abolitionist Frederick Douglass, U.S. Ambassador to Haiti, then using gunboat "diplomacy" with as many as 7 warships, the U.S. attempts to force Haiti to lease away Môle St. Nicholas as a naval base. Haitian President Hyppolite citing his people’s Constitution, responds negatively to all U.S. demands.
1897: (Affaire Luders) Repeated acts of German gun-boat aggression against Haiti using warships S.M.S. Charlotte and Stein. (HBC, p184)
"Chartered in 1880, the Banque Nationale was owned by France's Banque de l’Union Parisienne and was contracted by the Haitian government to finance the national debt and handle the fiscal operations of the state...
When a new contract was drawn up, the U.S. State Department intervened, claiming it placed an unfair burden on the Haitian people while giving too much leeway to the French to intervene in Haiti's internal affairs. They also argued that the new contract didn't represent the American interests then gunning for a share of Haiti.
As a result of State Department pressure, a new institution, the Banque Nationale de la République d’Haïti, was chartered. The Banque de l’Union remained the majority shareholder, but National City – alongside a number of other American banks and a German one – was offered a minority interest...
In 1914, Farnham, who once described the Haitian people as “nothing but grown up children,” drafted a memorandum for William Jennings Bryan, then U.S. secretary of state arguing for military intervention as a way of protecting American interests in Haiti. "

1915-1934: United States invades Haiti, seizes and expatriates its national treasury and gold reserves, imposes a new constitution allowing property ownership by Americans and dismissing the Haitian legislature from 1917 to 1930. Haiti-U.S accord on reestablishing Haitian Freedom signed in 1933 and on August 15, 1934 all U.S. Marines left Haiti. (HBC, p184).
As part of U.S. legacy, the reins of political powers are strongly secured for the anti-black, pro-American mulatto minorities on both sides of the island (Haiti and Dominican Republic). During that period, the National Geographic Magazine described life in Haiti with such words: "while the peasants thus took to the bush, the middle and upper class Haitians gravitated to the seacoast towns, where they learned the art of living by the expert exploitation, political and commercial, of the unthinking black animals of the interior" (National Geographic Magazine, 1920: 497).
1937 (October): White Supremacist Dictator Raphaël Trujillo of neighbouring Dominican Republic, benefiting of full support from his great friends U.S. president F. D. Roosevelt and Haiti’s Mulatto president Sténio Vincent, orders the massacre of as many as 30,000 Black Haitians in a fit of anti-Haitian sentiment which also left countless Black Dominicans dead.

Re: TO ENSURE AFRICANS REMAIN POOR ON ABOLITIONIST ISLAND OF HAITI
Plis m ap li sou SOULOUQUE ;plis m ap reyalize ke mesye se te DENYE DESALINYEN.
Misye se te denye DIRIJAN ki te fet ann ESKLAVAY.
Neg ap di ke pa t gen CHWA ke nou te dwe peye RANSON an.SOULOUQUE montre ke te gen CHWA.
Misye se te yon DESALINYEN lan tout KO li .SOULOUQUE pa t janm aksepte SESESYON PATI LES lan .
Se paske VAKABON ki pa t gen vizyon KI FE misye pa t reyinifye ZILE an.
Se youn lan REZON ke SYLVAIN SALNAVE pa t vle we "pseudo-intellectual" ki t ap konspire kont SOULOUQUE e TOPIYE KANPAY li an.
SALNAV ,limenm tou pa t AKSEPTE SESESYON an ,men depi l te pran POUVWA ,BOUJWAZI NO a ak NO ALEKSI ak LWES lan ak BOISROND CANAL te asosye pou KONBAT LI:
