Well, that old black magic would explain just about all of what went on back then, but what did the sorcerer do for Hillary! ? Was it a two for one spell?;)

Haiti has been a mess since before its independence in the 1800s. Although it was inept of Clinton to reintall Aristide, it's a bit of a stretch to blame Haiti's centuries of chaos on him. It is just a tragic place.

Voodoo is for the uncivilized. Replace it with islam and it's the same problem. The practice is an embarassment to many Haitian Catholics who lived in Haiti very well before Aristide then fled Haiti when Klintoon installed him.

And this may have happened because Bill Clinton, without consulting Congress or the United Nations, felt a compulsion to invade and overthrow the government of Haiti in order to restore Jean-Bertrand Aristide to power

I distincly remember the media reaction at the time. They were all over themselves with gushing praise for Klintoon and Jimmah over how well they had handled everything, with nary a complaint about the unilateralism of the effort. Nor did the "alternative" media huff and puff about American imperialism the way they had about Grenada and Latin America.

And did anyone else find it funny that the movie Wag the Dog cited Grenada but not Haiti as an example of a "media-made" invasion? At the time, only Connor Cruise O'Brien had the acumen to note that the Haiti mission was really more about trying to score votes in the midterm election than any sort of humanitarian concern.

I've heard over and over that Nancy Reagan consulted Astrologers, but this is the first time I've heard Bill Clinton used Voodoo.

Haiti favoured by the vampire Clinton's kiss of death what's next, Kossovo?

"But Aristide’s voodoo magic could not make a winner of Zombie-like Gore as it helped do for Clinton."

Best line in this article.

BUMP!!!!

Despite knowing of Aristide’s penchant for necklacing critics, and despite knowing that a CIA psychological profile had identified Aristide as “a psychopath,” President Bill Clinton three years later put at risk 20,000 of America’s most elite troops to remove a pro-American Haitian government in order to re-install this murdering psychopath Jean-Bertrand Aristide as President of Haiti.

Clinton also rehabilitated Yasser Arafat from hiding in Yemen to serve as a reliable partner for his “Middle East peace plan.” That worked out nicely for Arafat and badly for pretty much everyone else.

Who says there's no loyalty among psycopaths?

Clinton Legacy ping . . .

Thank you for the ping, WW. I've come to view the sinkEmperor as nothing more than proof that God allows rain to fall on the just and unjust alike. The man and his stinking political bunch nearly destroyed this nation, and they're hellbent to still do it, if they can ever get back into power!

[William Wallace]

Well said Marvin. I'll always believe we were disgraced as a nation when we elected such a lowlife to the highest office and sunk even lower when we failed to remove him. That he's actually admired by so many is positively sickening.

This story seems bizarre beyond belief, yet nothing surprises when the Clintons are involved.

"...was in an effort to put a curse on then-U.S. Republican presidential candidate George W. Bush…. His Democratic rival, U.S. Vice President Albert Gore would, hopefully, emerge as the winner of the November election." But Aristide’s voodoo magic could not make a winner of Zombie-like Gore as it helped do for Clinton."

That's because our Santeros beat the crap out of his Bocors.
