Apparently it's not ... ( 3 months ago by RichardRoy2)
Apparently it's not the first time a superpower used it's "influence" to benefit someone, or something, that would pay for it. Are people surprised that the old addage "Power corrupts..." still plays? Have you heard of a "Banana Republic"? Their creation had it's origin in the attempts by large corporations to bring a cheap banana to America. If you research enough, I'm sure you'll find many examples of such "influence". Corporations should not have access to the use of force like this.

Haiti still being ... ( 3 months ago by Kalydosos)
Haiti still being punished for driving out the slave owning French,British,Spanish and USA in 1804.
A life would not ... ( 2 months ago by MariposaKamikaze)
A life would not suffice to tell all the damages the US imperialist politics have done to Latin America. Supporting tyrants, helping to oppress human rights movements, ousteding progressive governments (Guatemala, Chile, etc...), destroying local economies to make the countries depend on imported goods... and still they call it development aid when they give them back in money only a fraction from all they have stolen from them. What a hypocrisy...
Great see someone ... ( 2 months ago by GWOZ0Z0)
Great see someone so informed on the facts. It's extremely frustrating at times when trying to explain to some uninformed Americans that the majority of the world is upset at U.S policy not because they're envious or reject democracy, but ironically, precisely because the U.S government has historically and continues to be hypocrites in this respect. Are you Haitian?
This the kind of ... ( 2 months ago by GWOZ0Z0)
This the kind of righteous indignation we need in the face of all this injustice. Not enought people are saying, like you, "Fuck I will do something about it." They've been on our ass our whole existence.
Dude, anyone with ... ( 2 months ago by GWOZ0Z0)
Dude, anyone with even remote consciousness knows the U.N is synonimous with upholding justice only when U.S/West are have interest to gain. Why are you even challenging this fact? You can try this with brainwashed Americans, but not with the rest of the world, especially Haitians, arguably the most victimized in the western hemisphere.
I'm a part of the ... ( 2 months ago by Vierotchka)
I'm a part of the rest of the world, and have had intimate knowledge of the UN and what it does. You are obviously rather oblivious of all that the UN does, as your post amply demonstrates.
You can't be ... ( 2 months ago by GWOZ0Z0)
You can't be serious. No, you're from Switzerland, not the rest of the world, so what I said still stands. The U.N is legit to you. informed Palestians, Haitians, Africans, South Americans know my points to be facts.
I live in ... ( 2 months ago by Vierotchka)
I live in Switzerland, I'm from other countries, have several nationalities and origins, so yes, I'm from the rest of the world. I have been intimate with the UN and its many works for many decades. The US has corrupted the UN of late by not paying its dues and threatening and blackmailing other delegates, but the UN is much, much more than what you obviously think it is, and does much much more than what you believe it does.
I'd like to command ... ( 2 months ago by GWOZ0Z0)
I'd like to command for your work with the UN But it's obvious,despite of your professed efforts and the U.N's creed, these things have being at odds with U.N actions, even from its inception,Patrice Emmery Lumumba murdered in Congo while the U.N did nothing as one example from the past.So I am not talking about the U.N's genuine intended purpose but its actions or lack thereof.you must be a few minority in trying to get the U.N to work and your work goes unknown by what's actually implemented

Hi! No, I´m German... but I have been many times to Haiti and I love your country a lot! for the Americans, many of them seem to think that we all outside their borders are savages waiting to be "freed" to death by them just like Iraq...just two days ago I had a very "nice" discussion with some of these guys...Sometimes I´d like to say it in the words of Chavez "Vayanse al carajo, gringos de mierda..." !
Great! Unfortunally ... ( 2 months ago by GWOZ0Z0)
Great! Unfortunally they've made it so that there's not enough in the superficial to appreciate about Haiti, and very little to the historically untrained eye to like. So it's always a pleasure to hear a foreigner that understands Haiti's struggles and stiffled potential.

" A 1995 report observes, 'export-driven trade and investment policy that Washington mandates will relentlessly squeeze the domestic rice farmer' who will be forced to turn to more rational pursuit of agroexport for the benefit of U.S investors, in accordance with the principles of rational expectations theory" -Chomsky On Miseducation (pages 160-161)

Be careful with that "Gringos de Mierda" comment, I'm Latin-American and let me tell you that in my families native country people have a very hateful attitude towards German's due to all the farm land that is now in European hands. Chavez for all his efforts is a hypocrite. Russia is using that poor country just like they did Cuba when they were in a time of crisis (Actually Venezuela was in a worse situation a few years back)
You come here ... ( 1 week ago by mrundead)
You come here spouting bullshit about Americans like Europeans don't rape our Latin Countries just the same. I work for a company that has a world wide influence and I've personally seen Europeans (including Germans) join Americans in making us Latinos to be animals.
Watch what you fucking say , Americans and Western Europeans are one in the same when it comes to destroying Latin and African countries.
You think Germany hasn't made a dime on the war in Iraq? Grow up.
Array ( 1 week ago by MariposaKamikaze)
@mrundead:
1) you have a point regarding economical imperialism, and I regret that there are Europeans who behave this way (and that is not hypocrite)
2) anyhow I think that our (European) governments are more conscientious since at least they respect the political souvereignty of other nations and do not support coup d´etat, or destabilizing elements (like the Contras in Nicaragua) etc.

5) Finally, I have not said anymore "gringos de mnierda" since Obama has been elected, for what Americans have my full respect :-)
