Washington and Paris overthrow Aristide
Coup d’Etat in Haiti

 By Thierry Meyssan | 5 March 2004 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Washington and Paris reconciled their colonial interests in the Caribbean by going on the attack with a cunning, well organized coup d’Etat in Haïti to overthrow elected president Aristide. After building an opposition that suited US interests, in the shape of former Duvalier regime financial handyman Andre Apaid, Washington then created armed opposition headed by former putschist officer Guy Philippe. Meanwhile, French powerbrokers Regis Debray and Veronique de Villepin-Albanel tried to force Jean-Bertrand Aristide to resign. Eventually, as the street remained loyal to Aristide, the "rebels" did not sweep into Port-au-Prince. It was left to US special forces to kidnap the president, in a dawn raid on the presidential palace.

The Fateful Geological Prize Called Haiti

By F. William Engdahl | Frankfurt (Germany) | 3 February 2010 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Behind the smoke, rubble and unending drama of human tragedy in the hapless Caribbean country, a drama is in full play for control of what geophysicists believe may be one of the world’s richest zones for hydrocarbons-oil and gas outside the Middle East, possibly orders of magnitude greater than that of nearby Venezuela. While bringing to light the geostrategic honeypot that Haiti has turned into, Engdahl also states his case against the advocates of the ‘Peak Oil’ theory.

Haiti and the seismic weapon

 By Thierry Meyssan | Beirut (Lebanon) | 26 January 2010 | Voltaire, édition internationale | The controversy that followed the publication on our website of an article entertaining the possibility that the earthquake in Haiti was caused artificially, calls for clarification. Yes, seismic weapons do exist and the United States, among others, has them. Yes, the U.S. military forces were pre-positionned to be deployed to the island. These facts are not conclusive in themselves but they certainly warrant taking a closer look.

We Send Doctors, Not Soldiers

By Cuban Agency News, Fidel Castro Ruz | Havana (Cuba) | 25 January 2010 | Agencia Cubana de Noticias | In my Reflection of January 14, two days after the catastrophe in Haiti, which destroyed that neighboring sister nation, I wrote: “In the area of healthcare and others the Haitian people has received the cooperation of Cuba, even though this is a small and blockaded country. Approximately 400 doctors and healthcare workers are helping the Haitian people free of charge. Our doctors are working every day at 227 of the 237 communes of that country. On the other hand, no less than 400 young Haitians have been graduated as medical doctors in our country. They will now work alongside the reinforcement that traveled there yesterday to save lives in that critical situation. Thus, up to one thousand doctors and healthcare personnel can be mobilized without any special effort; and most are already there willing to cooperate with any other State that wishes to save Haitian lives and rehabilitate the (...)

Controversy
Was the earthquake in Haiti caused by the United States?

 Caracas (Venezuela) | 22 January 2010 | Voltaire, édition internationale | According to Russia Today, Venezuelan President Hugo Chávez Frías evoked the possibility that the United States are behind the series of earthquakes that struck the Caribben region last week, including the one that devastated Haiti. However, according to Vive Tv, the allegation originated with the Russian armed forces. Be that as it may, Venezuela, Bolivia and Nicaragua have requested the UN Security Council to convene an emergency session. This forum will be expected to examine these charges and look into the "humanitarian" invasion of Haiti by US troops.

Haiti: An Unwelcome Katrina Redux

 By Cynthia McKinney | 19 January 2010 | Voltaire, édition internationale | George W. Bush, massive military deployment, logistical snags and slow aid delivery are evocative of the Hurricane Katrina debacle. Cynthia McKinney draws attention to the construction of the U.S. fifth-largest embassy in the world in Port-au-Prince, the discovery of oil resources in Haiti, the existence of decade-old plans to exploit Haiti’s deep water ports for oil-related activities. From the beginning, in fact, U.S. assistance to Haiti has looked more like an invasion than a humanitarian relief operation.

Haiti: Grants to repay an odious debt ?

By Eric Toussaint, Sophie Perchellet | 19 January 2010 | Voltaire, édition internationale | Geography and bad luck are only partly to blame for Haiti’s tragedy. Haiti was born of slavery and revolution, declaring independence from France on 1 January 1804. In exchange for diplomatic recognition, France forced the new republic to pay enormous reparations. Ever since, Haiti has been trapped in a spiral of crippling debt and exploitation through decades of US occupations and policies combined with strangling IMF-World Bank diktats. The fundamentals of the Haitian human tragedy can hardly be pinned on nature.
