A few questions regarding the Haiti Earthquake. There are SO MANY, I hardly know where to begin.
[As a disclaimer, yes I (along with many other people) am beginning to think this was a deliberately triggered "natural disaster". For anyone immediately thinking "Conspiracy Theorist", remember, it's not a THEORY if it is real. And this catch phrase is thrown around a LOT when the corporate media wishes to confuse people. One recent example of a "conspiracy THEORY" that proved to be NOT theoretical at all was the WMD lie that Bush, Cheney et al dispensed via the media to garner support for an invasion of Iraq.]
Many people are now wondering if the Haitian earthquake was intentionally or accidentally triggered by the United States. This IS possible. It is also possible (despite a lot of strange information pointing to something intentional) that this was truly a "natural disaster" and the U.S. and other countries are simply doing what they do best: making the most MONEY and POWER from a horrible disaster, at the expense of desperately poor people.
So, here are just a FEW of the questions I have come across. WHY was President Preval (the US-selected president, once the CIA forced Aristide out of office in 2004) conveniently NOT at work at the official palace, during a normal weekday/work day, at 4:53 p.m. on Tuesday, January 12, 2010? Did he go home early? Did he not even work that day?
Haitian friends in communication with family IN Haiti say many Haitians are already wondering if this was truly a "natural" disaster. They have heard reports that "the water did not change", meaning no major change in tides or ocean overflows at the time of the earthquake. Isn't this a bit odd, to say the least?
Why was there a dramatic increase in HAARP activity (Google HAARP for info re this "natural disaster" weapon) in the few days just prior to this earthquake? HAARP is not science fiction but reality. European Union members have demanded answers from the U.S. but gotten nowhere. HAARP Induction Magnetometer for January 12, 2010:

Why was there an extremely bright light in the sky the night before the earthquake in Haiti? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f0RzX3uqAls I personally do not believe this is a UFO but a military-related object. Ask the pentagon! Maybe they can explain. Ha!
Why have Russian North Fleet submarines patrolling the area reported this as an intentionally triggered earthquake (sorry I cannot yet find follow-up on this report--if anyone can, please leave a comment)?

Hugo Chavez and other Latin American leaders have called for a full-scale investigation.

Is it just a coincidence that possibly vast quantities of oil have been discovered in Haiti recently? http://blacklistednews.com/news-7136-0-5-5--.html
Is it just a coincidence that Haitian elections were to take place Feb. 28th?
Why did the US, which immediately took control of the Airport, refuse to allow planes carrying food and medical supplies, to land, while US military planes were allowed full clearance? Why have 16,000 troops been stationed in Haiti almost overnight?
Doctors Without Borders and many other wonderful organizations have LOUDLY complained about their planes being turned away, and the resulting loss of life. But, not surprisingly, this has received little media attention.
Why did it take the US Navy hospital ship Comfort EIGHT days to travel from Baltimore, MD to Port Au Prince? Port Au Prince is only 700 miles from Miami, after all.
Why has it been SO difficult to get food and water delivered to people who will now die of hunger and thirst? I just don't buy it that it is difficult for the US, with all its military and many resources and allies, to organize a food/water/medical relief program quickly. I have said in previous posts, had this been an earthquake in the Hamptons or Malibu, all necessary relief would have been organized within HOURS, not WEEKS.
Journalists were shown wandering around Port Au Prince for days, sobbing in despair, asking "Where are the relief teams?" Meanwhile the U.S. WAS able to amass its military presence in this poor nation.
Why, with all the many search and rescue teams from all over the world, were ONLY 132 Haitians rescued from the rubble? Why has this effort now been called off, and bulldozers instead brought in to "clear the rubble" when people are still being found alive? And why did it take SO LONG for this effort to get underway? Is there any chance the U.S. WANTED to maximize "collateral damage"? After all, these desperately poor feisty Haitians have long caused problems for the U.S., what with their rebellious attitude towards being total slaves and accepting poverty and starvation and all.
If you have questions of your own, please feel free to post in the comments here.
The corporate government of this world needs a sudden change in consciousness, some kind of miracle. We should not be even be burning oil at ALL any more, let along invading nations for it. We should have LONG AGO moved past this greed and blood-thirsty power model of thought. There IS another way to live. It is time for ALL of us to WAKE UP.

Taking Bread When You Are Starving is NOT Looting!
The news media REALLY needs to rethink the language it is using to describe starving people in Haiti breaking into grocery stores to take food. This is NOT looting!!! This is simply survival. And if Haitians are seen taking goods and not food, figure it out. There is NO MONEY to buy food, but a radio can be traded for some rice.
Perhaps it would behoove the corporate news media to examine WHY it has taken SO LONG for food to get to people in Haiti, when there are so many countries contributing? The US now controls the Haitian airport, and many relief planes have been turned away, forced to land in Santo Domingo and bring supplies overland, resulting in more deaths due to delays. And no organized distribution system has been set up, meaning that only a fraction of the population needing food and water has actually received it. WHAAAT? The US, with all its troops, bulldozers, tanks, trucks, computer resources, and allies, cannot manage to set up a proper distribution system, eight days into this tragedy?
I repeat, if this had happened in the Hamptons or Malibu, all necessary aid, including a perfectly organized distribution system, would have been on the ground in half a day. But this is Haiti, populated with poor, rebellious people, who have long resisted US attempts to completely enslave and control the population, so of course this will take time, LOTS of time...all the time necessary to achieve maximum "collateral damage".
WHY is the US refusing to allow medical supplies into the country, so that Doctors Without Borders are forced to purchase a saw from a market in order to amputate a crushed limb from a patient, and with NO morphine? The excuse is "a bottle neck at the airport", but DWB has stated that even when runways have been clear, the US has turned away medical supplies. Yet US military planes, with troops and tanks, are given clearance. Interesting priority. No wonder Latin American leaders are talking about a US takeover in Haiti.
If you can bear to read this, here is a reasonably good article about people dying due to lack of medical supplies: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/cb_haiti_fighting_for_lives
More questions: WHY has the US managed to ship 11,500 troops (16,000 expected by this weekend) to the area so quickly, but the floating US Navy Hospital JUST arrived, 8 days after the quake? All of these troops are surely being fed, and offered medical care, but dying Haitians cannot even get a bottle of water, a sandwich, or a splint for a broken leg?
WHY, with all the "rescue teams" on site, have only 121 people (from one account) been rescued from rubble by these teams, while local Haitians, with NO tools at ALL, have rescued countless victims?
Haitians don't trust the US, and with good reason. The US has ousted democratically elected leaders in this country. This US aid mission has already been called a "Rescue/Invasion".
For some background on the bloody US history with Haiti, here is a really good, succinct account from Common Dreams' Ted Rail, "Haitian Earthquake: Made in the USA":

Read Britain's The Guardian, and other online sources for better information than that coming from government-sanctioned "news sources" in the US. Time to wake up.

Haiti Suffers While US Power-Mongers Play Games
Went riding my bike in the rain this evening, and it felt SO good. Fresh air, cold rain on my face, moving through the cold wind.
I feel so ANGRY and sad and upset about what the United States is doing in Haiti. Many countries have complained that they have tried to land with relief supplies (including medicine and food) at the Port au Prince airport and the US has refused them entry.
The US controls the Haitian airport now. WHAT IS GOING ON???? The excuse of the US is that the airport is bottle-necked. Give me a break. As I have said in the past, when the United States WANTS to be organized, it is VERY GOOD at that. For example: organizing PR campaigns via the media to disseminate lies in order to invade a country for oil and power strategems (i.e. Iraq and Afghanistan)--EXCELLENT work, boys!
Organizing to bomb an ancient city to smithereens (Baghdad). Fantastic.
But try to save the lives of desperately poor people, pleading for help while children die in their mothers' arms, from relatively simple, treatable injuries (broken bones, open wounds)? Wow, that is just TOO complicated, it seems.
Doctors Without Borders have been very blunt in expressing their disgust. An inflatable hospital was airlifted to Haiti, but the US refused to allow the plane to land at the airport. Instead, planes with medical supplies and food have been forced to land in Santo Domingo and travel overland, which means time wasted and many more lives lost. (I will write more about this in the coming days, but PLEASE do your own research on the web--check European news sources. They will often be more reliable than the US. And READ BETWEEN THE LINES.)
OK, I am going to be BLUNT. I believe, as I did with Katrina, that there are those among the "powers that be" that actually WANT a large percentage of the Haitian population to die. For one thing, the rebellious nature of the Haitian people (including the audacity to want a democratically elected government of their own choosing as opposed to one that is US-chosen), is problematic for the US corporate government.
Essentially, the view of the bullies who still run things in America is that, in order to get the "most" out of any country, the US needs to be IN CONTROL. The very idea of negotiating fairly is anathema to these guys.
Do you know what this is? Psychopathic bullying and GREED. Plain and simple.
I really look forward to the day when we have 12-step programs for such bloodthirsty power-mongers. "Hi, my name is John." "Hi John." "I'm a psychopathic greedy power-monger." (everyone in the room nods) "But I haven't exploited any poor people for the past 90 days." (everyone claps) "It's been difficult, but I keep working my program, and I really want to thank my sponsor, Hugo." Hugo Chavez smiles broadly from the corner. And the world breathes a sigh of relief.
Well, I can dream, can't I?

Why is Relief to Haiti taking SO LONG????
Why is it taking so LONG for help to get to Haiti? Blah blah blah from the leaders of the various world powers, while people DIE under rubble when they could have been saved. Just another Katrina. My theory is that the rich countries actually WANT these poor people to die--especially in a country like Haiti, with a rich history of revolution against horrible dictators.
Believe me, if this earthquake had happened in the Hamptons, or Malibu, or some wealthy enclave such as Monaco, search teams, giant medical ships, bullldozers and all necessary equipment and personnel would be in the area and on the ground within half a day.
OR, if this was a country the US wanted to invade, exactly how long do you think THAT would take?
And then, of course, there is the whole issue of class. The wealthy nations, and wealthy leaders NEED worker-bees, people in desperate situations, ready to be exploited for sweatshops. And if they have no use, even for the worst possible employment, then they don't really need to BE at ALL, do they? Time for change, time for a massive, overnight sudden change of consciousness. NOW.
