Authority Stealing 101: A Disguised US Coup in Haiti

A U.S. funded coup-d'?tat. The removal of an elected President. A puppet regime of the U.S. decimating the feeble human services of the poorest country in the world. Massive human rights abuses, including assassinations, false imprisonment without trials, and targeted murders of impoverished men, women and children. With the U.N. force, MINUSTAH, headed by Brazil, finally wavering in its loyalty to the U.S. brokers who sent them there, the U.S. announced last week it will be sending more than 1,000 fresh troops to Haiti - ostensibly for "humanitarian purposes." Yet almost all Americans, including most progressives, know nothing of any of this. Who is to blame for the lack of outcry in the U.S? Surely the mainstream media - the Associated Press, Fox, CNN and those few media services that cover Haiti at all - have been manipulated to hush up and cover up the real story in Haiti. But worse, many so-called progressive media - as well as some U.S. liberal non-governmental organizations - have either been silent, or lent their credibility to those who support the atrocities in Haiti.  [more]
