Would you say Aristide is a non-corrupt leader who knows what’s best for his country? By the way, I do wish Haiti all the best. They’ve been through so much suffering already.
Father Aristide was a very, very, very good man. He wasn’t a Communist. He certainly did not install a Communist system. He didn’t have install a socialist system. He just tinkered around the edges of Haitian capitalism really.
Father Aristide was a priest! Almost incorruptible. We removed him from his mansion in the middle of the night at gunpoint with a force of armed men pointing automatic weapons at him and ordering him to go. Then we put him on a plane and ordered him to leave the country. Aristide is not allowed back in Haiti, on orders of the US. And he can never be President again, on orders of the US.
The last election he had he won 92% of the vote. It was a free and fair vote with no fraud. That’s how popular he was.
Haiti has always been run by a tiny elite who stole every nickel in the place and left everyone else to starve and eat mud pies. They have almost no support except for a bunch of armed thugs they bought off called Tonton Macoutes.
They are opposed by the vast majority of Haitians because they have never done one damn thing for them. Those 92% who voted for Aristide is the percentage of the population the elites have been screwing forever.
