2. In Cambodia, the number of orphanages has nearly doubled in five years.
Almost three-quarters of the kids in the orphanages do have parents!
3. "Voluntourism", involving tourists helping out in orphanages, is a fast growing industry.
4. Siem Reap, next to Angkor wat, is a small town in Cambodia.
It has 35 orphanages!
"The children may have been stolen, rented from their parents or tricked from impoverished rural villagers with false promises of wealth, education and healthcare."
5. Some orphanages are involved in child labour and sexual abuse.
USA
6. In Bali, the number of orphanages has doubled in recent years.
Two-thirds of the children in the orphanages have parents.
The orphanages recruit cute children from poor families with promises of food and schooling.
Some of the orphans are forced to work very long hours on building sites. Malnutrition is common.
7. Brenton Whittaker, founder of Bali Kids, says that some directors sell all the donated goods, even medicines, for profit.
8. In Sri Lanka, a study found that 92% of children in orphanages had living parents.
The 'bad guys' want Jude Celestin to be the winner in the November 2010 presidential elections in Haiti.
The results aren't expected until at least 7 December.
The "corrupt electoral comission, with U.S., Canadian and French financial backing, banned the most popular political party Lavalas from the elections." (Lavalas is the party of former president Aristide.)
There was massive vote fraud, in favour of Celestin.
Celestin "has amassed a long list of liens and foreclosure problems on his South Florida homes, public records show.
"Celestin mistress Tania Chihimie, who has long-time connections throughout the cocaine community in Haiti, purchased a home in Weston in 2006 - the height of the South Florida real estate boom - for $1.1 million, the records show.
"Earlier this year, the house was placed in foreclosure and the lender is seeking $1.06 million."
Haiti
Celestin is very close to the outgoing president, Rene Preval, who is linked to Reynald Bonefil who "was arrested, during the Aristide presidency, with 53 kilos of cocaine in his car, along with $156,000 US in cash..."
President Rene Garcia Preval "has given the cocaine trafficker Bonefil control of hundreds of millions - perhaps billions of US dollars being channeled into Haiti for reconstruction projects.
"As partners in the crime Preval has embedded his wife, the avaricious courtesan Elisabeth Delatour-Preval, and Jude Celestin in the Bonefil team.
"During the earlier Preval Presidency, people expecting a shipment of drugs went to the palace. From here, Preval’s vehicle transported them to and from the docks, returning the traffickers to the Palace where they paid their fee to Preval and then left with their cocaine." (21 FEB 2010-COCAINE KING.)
"MINUSTAH (the UN) displayed Jude Celestin’s banners even while supposedly monitoring the election.
"Then again, the UN is monitoring the cholera epidemic that it started.
"So why shouldn’t we expect more kaka?"
"Over 90% of the potential voters failed to show up at the polls."
"What we are seeing is an organized nationwide response in the form of a powerful and rapidly developing resistance against Washington's puppet government and the UN occupation."
The Presidential Palace
The Grand Hotel Oloffson, the model for Hotel Trianon in Graham Greene's novel 'The Comedians', is to be found at Rue Cadet Jeremie in Port au Prince in Haiti.
In the restaurant, which is on a very long verandah, I dined on fresh fish.
My guest was Jean, a middle aged Haitian.
"Tell me the history of Haiti," I said to Jean.
"The Spanish removed the Indians," said Jean. "The French removed the Spanish. A slave revolt removed the French. Then there was a series of Black dictatorships. And in the 20th Century came the Americans."
"As colonialists."
"La meme chose. But in 1957 Dr Francis Papa Doc Duvalier won an election and turned himself into a very wealthy dictator."
"Kept in power by the Tonton Macoutes with their dark glasses."
"Yes. These were Papa Doc's private army of thugs. Opponents were imprisoned or murdered. Voodoo was used to frighten people."
"Baby Doc?"
"His son ruled until being thrown out in 1986."
"Why did the Americans, who control most of this area, not get rid of the Duvaliers in the early days?"
"Come to the bar and I will tell you more."
Haiti
We strolled past peacock chairs, wicker sofas, tin lamps and intricate scroll work, to reach the bar.
"The Americans," said Jean, "supported dictatorships and mafias all around the world, so long as they were good for the narco-military-industrial complex. People like Batista were good for business. They did not want another communist Cuba in their back yard."
"Have the Americans got economic interests here?"
"Who ran the brothels in Cuba? Who brought AIDS to Haitian children. Babylon! Uncle Sam. The Great Satan. Where do the Americans get their baseballs from?"
"Wal-Mart?"
"Most baseballs are made in Haiti by American companies. The factory girls get about $1.40 a day. They get injured arms and eyes."
"Is it only baseballs?"
"The Americans control the bauxite, sugar and sisal. It's like Cuba before Castro."
"Is it always slave wages?"
"You know Walt Disney?"
"Fun people."
"They have contractors here who make Micky Mouse clothes. The factory girls get 8 pence an hour. You can't live on that. Then Wal-mart sells the Pocahontas pyjamas for $11-97."
"The Americans supported Baby Doc? But didn't he get thrown out?"
"And replaced by military dictatorship," said Jean, smiling.
"What about the radical priest Aristide? Didn't he win an election?"
"Very popular man among the poor! But 9 months after he came to power he was toppled."
"By whom?"
"The army chief, Cedras, took over. These generals had been trained in the USA and were in the pay of the CIA."
"Then later Aristide was allowed back into Haiti."
"Yes. But FRAPH, a group financed by the CIA, started a lot of violence to destabilise Aristide."
"FRAPH?"
"They were mainly made up of Tonton Macoutes. The Macoutes have always given Aristide a hard time. In 1988 Macoutes hacked to death scores of people in a church, while trying to kill Aristide."
"And the Macoutes have ensured that there is chaos in Haiti. What are the Americans up to?"
"A socialist priest might try to make Walt Disney's people pay higher wages."
"Don't the Americans care about poverty?"
"The Haitian death squads in 1991, after Aristide had been kicked out, were led by Toto Constant. Now Constant, who lives in New York, claims he worked for the CIA."
"Do you hear music?"
Haiti
The pool and gardens are lit at night and there is an outside bar. That night there was also a voodoo band. We sipped our expensive imported American drinks; and I rubbed on the mosquito cream.
"Why is Haiti so poor," I asked.
"It's like parts of Africa," said mulatto Jean, "Too many trees cut down for fuel. You need heat to cook your rice. Too much soil erosion. Too many bully-boys. The people are just not as disciplined as the Swiss."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Aristide’s overthrow 'was the outcome of a bloody coup orchestrated by the Bush administration and aided by the Chirac government in Paris. It was executed by a band of killers drawn from the disbanded and discredited Haitian army and the CIA-backed death squads that terrorized the population under the former military dictatorship that ruled the country in the early 1990s.'
Port au Prince, at first glance, was a tropical paradise: neon-pink bougainvillea, burning-white sands, sharp green-brown mountains, dancing palms, and multi-coloured wooden gingerbread houses.
In the palatial little Hotel Prince I sat beside the swimming pool and talked to John, a UN nutritionist, from West End Lane in London's West Hampstead.
"Haiti is some sort of paradise," said John. "But there is hunger and malnutrition. There's not enough water. Some people have to walk many miles to get water."
"Corruption?"
"It's no worse than in Europe," said John.
"Law and order?"
"London is rougher than Port au Prince."
"Unemployment?"
"80% of the population are unemployed."
Port au Prince
I strolled to the area of docks and markets.
Black,sweating, muscular bodies were carrying enormous loads from ship to shore. Water was being transported on the heads of small ragged girls to home-made slum houses. Plump women dressed in jazzy browns and reds were selling scrawny chickens. The streets smelt of Africa at its most raw, squalid and impoverished.
Near the park in front of the sparkling white palace of President-for-Life, Jean Claud Duvalier, I became aware that I was being followed. The Tonton Macoute?
My pursuer was 14-year-old Franz Pierre.
His lips were covered in sores; he had a bubbly nose; his sandals were falling apart; he looked shriveled and worn out by life's cares; and he smelt of pavements.
Franz took me on a tour by tap-tap, a mini-bus like the Manilla ones.
We saw primitive settlements where people kept a few cattle or pigs or chickens. We saw semi-naked women bathing or washing clothes in filthy pools and streams.
"Tomorrow, I give you another tour," said Franz in Haitian French.
"OK. I'll have finished breakfast by 11am."
Next morning I woke early and happened to look out the bedroom window. Franz was waiting beneath a palm tree. It was 6am.
We travelled several miles to a section of beach with palm trees. Anchored out in the bay was a giant American warship.
"Babylon is coming!" said Franz.
Petionville had many beautiful gardens and a restful park where Franz and I had a picnic lunch.
Franz asked me if there was sea all over the world.
He showed me that he could write his name, but only just. He could not read, but he was desperately keen that I should write to him from England. He couldn't read the words on simple food labels or the words on currency notes, something which embarrased him greatly.
Franz Pierre.
Next day Franz had bought himself new plimsoles. They were too big for him but at least he was better off than most of the ragged waifs and strays around the city.
Franz gave his old battered plimsoles, which were split on both sides, to a tiny barefoot beggar boy with a badly swollen eye.
The plimsoles were many sizes too big for the tiny beggar, but, the boy was overjoyed to have them and thanked us many times.
His name was Minoir.
Minoir shuffled away, going round to the back of a restaurant to search for food.
A fat lady came running out of the restaurant and started chasing Minoir while brandishing a piece of rope.
Minoir ran down the street screaming.
His plimsoles came off.
The fat lady picked up the plimsoles and threw them in a rubbish bin.
Sitting in the park in front of the president's palace eating lunch, Franz and I were stared at by a boy with legs as thin as pokers.
I offered him a roll.
He thanked us so very politely and ran off to eat it hurriedly behind a tree.
(Ex-president Jean-Claude Baby Doc Duvalier now lives in very greatluxury in France; his regime is accused of thousands of political killings)
An older youth approached and offered his services as a guide.
"Non-merci," I explained.
"I shoot you," he said, and then walked away smiling and swearing.
Franz and I explored the home made houses on the hill behind the hotel. Small girls seemed to spend their entire day carrying water, none of it pure, to their houses.
At night the voodoo drums could be heard beating out in the shanty town settlement.
Spot the American naval vessel
One evening Franz decided to take me to see some nightlife, and we travelled by taxi to an area of rougher than rough shanties.
We ended up in a dimly-lit night-time bar in the middle of nowhere.
Franz Pierre wanted extra money. I refused.
Suddenly abandoned by my guide I found myself surrounded by people who would not have been out of place in a Rio jail, people who spoke a language that was difficult to comprehend.
In a basement room I spotted another tourist, a large white man with a smart suit.
The gentleman was positioned on a couch, very close to a young male friend who was black.
The white man looked like a certain European Community commisssioner; his presence made me feel less scared.
But it was time to leave before I was turned into a zombie or attacked by werewolves or loupgarous.
Haiti is a Graham Greene sort of place...a bit spooky.
Jorge Puello, who has recently been in Haiti, is the Jewish gentleman who allegedly leads a child sex abuse network that recruited children for prostitution in Nicaragua, the Dominican Republic and El Salvador.(Jorge Anibal Torres Puello)'He served in the U.S. Army in a military intelligence unit. He worked undercover with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration and the Department of Homeland Security.' (Legal adviser for Americans in Haiti facing his own charges)
How did the Israelis get to Haiti so quickly?
In the days befor the Haiti quake, the Israelis, in Tel Aviv, were carrying out a conference and drill about 'emergencies and disasters'
Are the Israelis in Haiti to harvest the organs of children?
In November 2009, Alison Weir had an article in the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs headlined, "Israeli Organ Trafficking and Theft: From Moldova to Palestine."
She stated: "....Israeli organ harvesting - sometimes with Israeli governmental funding and the participation of high Israeli officials, prominent Israeli physicians, and Israeli ministries - have been documented for many years." (Focus on Israel: Harvesting Haitian Organs AfterDowningStreet.org)
Clegg on the right
The UK's Liberal Democrat leader, Nick Clegg, has sacked Jenny Tonge, his health spokeswoman in the House of Lords, after comments she made about alleged organ trafficking in Haiti.
Jenny Tonge told the Jewish Chronicle there should be an inquiry into claims that Israeli troops sent there after the earthquake were trafficking organs.
Israeli Flying Aid (IFA) has been 'helping' Haiti.
IFA works mostly below the radar. They work undercover.
In mid January 2010, Israel just happened to be holding, in Tel Aviv, its first international conference on 'preparedness and response of health care systems to disasters and emergencies'.
Benjamin Netanyahu, immediately after the Haiti quake, had top military people in Haiti.
David Headley was in the US military. He worked for the Drugs Enforcement Administration.
And he is accused of being the mastermind of the Mumbai attacks of 2008.
David Headley's mother, allegedly, was an American Jewish lady. (according to a comment here:Cached ) David Headley visited various Jewish sites in India. He claimed to be Jewish when he reportedly stayed at the Chabad centre in Mumbai in July 2008. The American FBI found a book in his bag in Chicago entitled 'To Pray as a Jew'. (Cached )
A 12-year-old Chinese girl told police how the paedophile ring operates.
She was sold by her parents in China, then worked in a brothel in Thailand before being sent to Miami.
Italy is believed to be a major staging post for the transit of boy and girl prostitutes from Asia to Europe and America.
Italian police refer to paedophile crime run by Chinese triads, mafia gangs, and Japanese gangsters.
Vaclav Havel. The Czech Republic is a source, transit, and destination country for women and children trafficked from Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Moldova, Lithuania, Romania, Bulgaria, Slovakia, China, and Vietnam.
"Cheb is a mecca for German paedophiles who come to this drab town, with its ugly Stalinist-era apartment blocks and poorly-lit back streets for one purpose.
"Every night, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, Cheb has maintained its reputation as the child sex capital of Europe. These include what are known as 'the specials': children so small, so vulnerable, so fragile, that they cannot solicit for themselves."
"It's not only the Israeli hotels, with menus in Hebrew. 'There was a group of paratroopers who came straight from reserves duty to the island... One of them said that one day he didn't feel like leaving the hotel so he ordered a girl by telephone. He said 'I called the enlistment officer' referring to the woman who sends prostitutes to men." (What do Israeli sex tourists in Thailand really think? - Haaretz ... )
Ten Australian Jews were arrested, "after Thai police discovered they had been kidnapping Thai children between the ages of Three and nine years old from the country side in Thailand, torturing, raping the children, and then murdering them in ritualistic sacrificial scenes, the studio used all digital equipment. Six of the Australians are Rabbis."(Reported in the Guardian of London 2002. Book Review: No Beauty in the Beast - Israel without Her Mascara ...).
Jewish folks have long been linked to the sex trade.
"The Jewish sex slave trade flourished in Constantinople under the Ottoman Sultanate... The Jewish sex slave trade was international in scope." (Cached) "Although Jewish procurers dealt almost exclusively in Jewish women, they were successful enough to achieve 50 percent of the market in Hamburg, Eastern Europe, and South America, according to police records." (Awareness Center - Prostitution/Trafficking in Jewish Communities)
"Three Russian Jews and eight Italian Jews were arrested after police discovered they had been kidnapping non-Jewish children between the ages of two and five years old from Russian orphanges, raping the children, and then murdering them on film." (Jewish Gangsters Raped, Killed Children As Young As 2 On Film)
According to the New York Times, a Jewish man suspected of leading a child trafficking ring is also a legal adviser to the Americans charged with trying to take 33 children out of Haiti without permission.
Reportedly, the police found documents connected to the Sephardic Jewish community in a house in San Salvador where the traffickers had held women.
2. The Jewish organisation Chabad has centres in the Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico, and Chabad has been active in Haiti.
Three days after the Haiti earthquake, Chabad-Lubavitch Rabbi Shimon Pelman, the Israeli-born director of Chabad-Lubavitch of the Dominican Republic, was in Port-au-Prince, compiling requests from members of the Israel Defense Force’s Home Front Command that had arrived in Haiti. (Aid Convoys Struggling to Maintain Haitian Supply Lines - Stories ...)
Yis Jean Guerson is responsible for providing medical aid to victims of the January 12 Haiti disaster with local aid group AST (Association de la Santé Pour Tous - "health for all")...
"Guerson secretly heads a child trafficking ring and exploits his position of trust scouring camps for a stock of orphaned, lost and homeless youngsters."
A book published by the Council for Social Justice and Peace (CSJP), an arm of the Roman Catholic Church in Goa, presents Israeli tourists as a "burden" to those who live in the area.
According to this study: "One can also notice many unbecoming activities like the flesh trade, drug abuse, rave parties and crimes like rapes, murder..."
"There is a history of Chabad Houses not only being used as safehouses and logistics centers for Israeli intelligence but as storefronts for criminal activity. In March 1989, U.S. law enfocement rounded up a criminal network in Seattle, Los Angeles, New Jersey, Colombia, and Israel that involved a Chabad House that was involved in money laundering and currency violations...
"Bolivian police forces raided a Chabad center in the northeastern town of Rurrenabaque a number of times in recent days, ordered its closure and arrested a number of Israeli tourists who were staying there. Rabbi Aharon Fraiman, who heads the center, told Ynet the police refused to give him a reason for the raid, but rumors throughout the town have linked the police activity to an assassination attempt on the Bolivian president last week."
In May 2009 it was reported that a Montreal-based mining company had announced plans to explore the mountains of north-eastern Haiti for gold and copper.
1. Haiti reportedly has vast amounts of oil and gas and this might explain the behaviour of theUnited States, France and Canada towards the Haiti quake.
2. A team of geologists from the Institute for Geophysics at the University of Texas has mapped the Caribbean Basins.
The sponsors of the project include Chevron, ExxonMobil, Anglo-Dutch Shell and BHP Billiton.
3. In 2008 a consortium of oil companies led by Spain's Repsol, together with Cuba's state oil company, Cubapetroleo, announced the discovery of one of the world's largest oilfields in the water off Cuba.
Russian President Dmitry Medvedev flew to Havana to sign an agreement with Raul Castro for Russian oil companies to explore and develop Cuban oil.
The Chinese President signed an agreement to modernize Cuban ports and discussed Chinese purchase of Cuban raw materials.
4. The oil is not going to run out.
More than 50 years ago, a group of Russian and Ukrainian geophysicists confirmed that oil and gas are made deep in the earth's mantle.
They are not the result of dead creatures concentrated and crushed millions of years ago.
5. Then in 2010 Bloomberg News reported:
"The Jan. 12 earthquake was on a fault line that passes near potential gas reserves... The quake may have cracked rock formations along the fault, allowing gas or oil to temporarily seep toward the surface..."
6. Haiti’s minerals include gold, the valuable strategic metal iridium and oil, apparently lots of it.
7. Aristide had a plan to develop Haiti's oil, gold and other resources to benefit all the people and not just the five Haitian oligarchic families and their US backers, the so-called Chimeres or gangsters. Aristide was ousted by the USA in 2004.
8. According to Marguerite Laurent of the Haitian Lawyers' Leadership Network, under the guise of emergency relief work, the US, France and Canada are engaged in a balkanization of the island for future mineral control.
She reports rumours that Canada wants the North of Haiti where Canadian mining interests are already present.
The US wants Port-au-Prince and the island of La Gonaive just offshore - an area identified in Aristide's development book as having vast oil resources, and which is bitterly contested by France.
She further states that China, with UN veto power over the de facto UN-occupied country, may have something to say against such a US-France-Canada carve up of the vast wealth of the nation.
At voltairenet, on 25 January 2010, Thierry Meyssan has written further about the Haiti earthquake and seismic weapons.
He points out:
1. The USA does have seismic weapons.
2. Before the Haiti quake, US forces were pre-positioned to deploy on the island.
3. The issue of man-made earthquakes is debated at the highest level in several states in Latin America, Eastern Europe and Asia.
4. During the Second World War New Zealand researchers attempted to develop a machine to generate tsunamis that could be used against Japan. The work was directed by Australian Thomas Leech of the University of Auckland, under the codename "Project Seal". Several small-scale experiments were conducted in 1944-1945 at Whangaparaoa.
5. The Soviets studied the possibility of causing small earthquakes. This resulted in the construction of Pamir, the earthquake machine.
Some of the former Soviet scientists went to work for the US military and became involved in the HAARP program.
6. In May 2008, there was an earthquake in Sichuan (China).
During the 30 minutes before the earthquake, the inhabitants of the region observed unusual colours in the sky.
Reportedly, energy used to cause the earthquake had also caused disturbances in the ionosphere.
7. Before the Haiti quake, the US military were already pre-positioned for a move to Haiti.
Under General PK Keen, they were taking part in a simulated 'humanitarian' operation involving a possible natural disaster in Haiti.
General Keen and his team had arrived in Haiti a few days before the quake.
At the moment the earthquake, they were all safely at the U.S. embassy which is built to anti-seismic standards. (With the exception of two men at the Hotel Montana who were injured.)
General Keen often mentions his presence in Port-au-Prince during the earthquake, but never the reasons for that presence.
Among the objectives of the drill were the testing of new software to coordinate the efforts of NGOs and armies. Within minutes of the disaster taking place, the software was put online and 280 NGOs had registered.
It is legitimate to ask whether or not this is a coincidence.
Reportedly, Haiti was where the CIA tested the AIDS virus.
Reportedly (Cached), the US Navy "had an experimental medical station down in Haiti.
"They were down there because there was a huge pool of very poor locals they could use as subjects in tests.
"He said that they were developing something that would lower a person’s resistance to the point where a common cold would put them out of action for weeks."
"U.S. scientists heavily promoted the theory that AIDS was brought to America by affluent, young promiscuous gays from Manhattan, who regularly traveled to Port-au-Prince and Carrefours where it was cheap and easy to have sex with Haitian men...
"The public was repeatedly informed that the 'gay plague' was brought to America by Manhattan gays sodomized in Haiti...
"Some Haitians use epidemiologic data to suggest that Manhattan gays brought the disease to Haiti...
"(There is a) theory which accuses the CIA of conducting secret biological experiments on male and female prostitutes in Carrefour.
"Proponents of this theory insist that prostitutes were deliberately injected with viruses during routine injections of antibiotics for sexually-transmitted diseases.
"The theory seems so bizarre, and yet there are statistical and epidemiologic peculiarities of Haitian AIDS that could be compatible with covert human experimentation...
"Something obviously happened in Haiti around the late 1970s to account for the outbreak of AIDS."
The CIA likes to control Haiti and that means that people starve and the drugs trade flourishes.
"With food prices rising, Haiti's poorest can't afford even a daily plate of rice, and some take desperate measures to fill their bellies. Charlene, 16 with a 1-month-old son, has come to rely on a traditional Haitian remedy for hunger pangs: cookies made of dried yellow dirt from the country's central plateau." - Poor Haitians resort to eating dirt and AP fails to tell why
According to Patrick Elie, who was President Aristide's anti-drug czar, the CIA-created Haitian National Intelligence Service (NIS) has been involved with narcotics-trafficking, and "functioned as a political intimidation and assassination squad." (Haiti, Drugs and CIA)
"Aristide told the UN that each year Haiti is the transit point for nearly 50 tons of cocaine worth more than a billion dollars, providing Haiti’s military rulers with $200 million in profits." - Haiti’s Nightmare: the Cocaine Coup and the CIA Connection
Wal-Mart baseballs?
Reportedly, most baseballs are made in Haiti by American companies. The factory girls get 'starvation wages'. Reportedly they also get injured arms and eyes.
The Americans control the bauxite, sugar and sisal. It's like Cuba before Castro.
Reportedly, Walt Disney have contractors in Haiti who make Micky Mouse clothes. At one time the factory girls were getting 8 pence an hour. You can't live on that. Then Wal-mart sells the Pocahontas pyjamas for quite a few dollars.
Aristide, Haiti's president, was overthrown twice 'by thugs supported by the United States'.
1991 : The leaders of the coup 'were on the CIA payroll'. The death squad that killed thousands of Aristide's supporters between 1991 and 1994 was led by Emmanuel Constant, who told the world on CBS' 60 Minutes that the CIA hired him for the job.
2004 : Jeffrey Sachs of Colombia University said, "The United States turned off the tap... They did that deliberately to bring down Aristide."
The Inter-American Development Bank and World Bank cut off funding from 2001-2003.
The USA gave tens of millions of dollars to the opposition, which included former military personnel - including convicted murderers.
In 2004, US forces reportedly forced Aristide to go to the airport where he boarded a plane to the Central African Republic.
What is Haiti like now?
The Center for the Study of Human Rights at the University of Miami Law School conducted an investigation in Haiti in November 2004.
Among the findings: "summary executions are a police tactic,"
the jails are filled with political prisoners,
many prisoners are held without charge, beaten and denied medical help.
Cite Soleil, a slum of 250,000 people, is under lockdown. Young men cannot leave for fear of arrest.
Most of Haiti's poorest people continue to demand Aristide's return.
When thousands poured out of Bel Aire slum, the Haitian National Police 'opened fire on singing, chanting men, women and children'; five people were killed.
Father Gerard Jean-Juste works among the poor in Haiti. He was seized by Haitian police, wearing hoods, while feeding poor children in his parish last. He was held in deplorable conditions without a trial.
Witnesses have spoken of spoken of massacres of Aristide supporters in several poor Port au Prince neighborhoods. These are have been documented police raids into Aristide strongholds, accompanied by UN troops, resulting in hundreds of deaths of Aristide activists and bystanders
Rep. Maxine Waters, of the Congressional Black Caucus: "Haiti today is in total chaos. The interim government put in power by the U.S...is a complete failure....Human rights violations are commonplace throughout Haiti....(M)embers of President Aristide's government have been detained illegally, including former Prime Minister Yvon Neptune...As of February 18, there were over 700 political prisoners in Haiti's jails...most...without formal charges."
The United States sent marines to Haiti a year ago to force out of office a government that was democratically elected. The self-styled "rebels" committed massacres and rapes across the country, using weapons traced to U.S. stockpiles in the Dominican Republic.
The US installed the puppet regime of Gerard Latortue.
There have been vast cutbacks in the already impoverished education, health and other human services systems of the public sector.
The puppet regime representsthe old landed and military elite and the sweat-shop owners and other business elite.
'A full-scale terror campaign is going on in Haiti - by the government, against the people; by the rich, against the poor; by those trained and funded by the U.S. and guarded by the U.N., and against the mass movement called Lavalas - the cleansing flood - that Aristide promised would someday bring justice for the poor of Haiti'.
Constant was the leader of Fraph, a rightwing paramilitary group.
He worked against Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
In the USA, in October 2006, Constant was ordered to pay $19m (£10m) in damages to three women who had been gang-raped by members of his militia.
A US district judge Sidney Stein ruled that the women were each entitled to $1.5m in compensatory damages and $5m in punitive damages.
The judge said Constant "founded and oversaw an organisation that was dedicated principally towards terrorising and torturing political opponents..."
Constant is in jail on Long Island awaiting trial on unrelated charges. He told CBS's 60 Minutes in 1995: "If I am guilty of those crimes ... the CIA is also guilty."
According to Constant, the US military attaché and the local CIA station chief were inside the Haitian military headquarters when the army staged its coup in '91.
1992
Constant has stated that Col. Patrick Collins, of the U. S. Defense Intelligence Agency, pushed him to organize a front that could balance the Aristide movement and do intelligence work against it. This resulted in Constant forming what evolved into FRAPH in August 1993. Who Will Rid Me of this Turbulent Priest?
1993
From 1993-1994, Constant was the leader of the FRAPH death squad which reportedly murdered hundreds of Haitians...
Constant claims that he was part of covert American policy to undermine the exiled President Aristide, who was viewed as too radical by the United States.
Constant attended, on invitation, the Clinton inauguration balls in 1993....
