ONCE AGAIN HAITIAN PRESIDENT JOHN-BERTRAND ARISTIDE may be ousted by his citizens, who began a new rebellion against his tyrannical rule on February 5.

After Aristide was removed by a military coup in 1991, President Bill Clinton in 1994 sent 20,000 U.S. troops to Haiti to restore to power this former Roman Catholic Priest who once called Cuban dictator Fidel Castro his "greatest personal hero."

Aristide endorsed "necklacing" of the kind widely practiced in South Africa by Winnie Mandela. It consists of seizing a victim, forcing an automobile tire filled with gasoline down over their head and shoulders, and then setting the tire and gasoline on fire.

"What a beautiful tool!¿ It smells good. And wherever you go, you want to smell it," Aristide said of the necklacing of his critics on September 27, 1991, as witnessed and reported by Associated Press.

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

Earlier in 1995, the defrocked priest Jean-Bertrand Aristide formally renounced his Roman Catholic faith and publicly announced that he was returning to the Voodoo faith of his ancestors.

In July 1995 Aristide held a Voodoo Congress at Haiti¿s National Palace. The 300 attendees included sorcerers and "bocors" (those who practice black magic), wrote Ruth, "including leaders of the dreaded ¿Bizango Cult,¿ which practices zombification and human sacrifice."

[Scientists have documented the use of poison from the Caribbean puffer fish by Haitian witch doctors as a way to simulate death and then, in smaller doses, to turn victims dug up from their graves into the "living dead," called zombies in Haiti¿s Voodoo tradition.]

Voodoo, Aristide said in his speech to congress attendees, is one of the "great religions of the world alongside Christianity, Islam and Judaism." He announced the funding of a national Voodoo temple, doubtless to be built with U.S. taxpayer aid dollars via the Clinton Administration.

One of Aristide¿s later objectives would be the shipping of Haitians to the United States, especially to Florida shores 600 miles away where they could embarrass the state¿s Republicans. Senator John F. Kerry (D.-Mass.) might have shared Aristide¿s motives when, in 1998, he co-sponsored a bill that resulted in amnesty for an estimated 125,000 Haitians who had been given "temporary asylum" before 1996 because they were fleeing the chaos, terror and poverty caused largely by Aristide.

In the United States, meanwhile, President Bill Clinton ordered the U.S. military to begin including witchcraft pagan chaplains to minister to the religious needs of our troops. Hillary Clinton, as observed by FBI agents, decorated her upstairs Christmas tree one year with sex and drug paraphernalia. She pressed the Postal Service to discontinue issuing Madonna and Child stamps around Christmastime.

I just can't figure out why those fleeing Haitians don't just start walking east. There is another border just a skip and a jump away instead of taking the risks of a sea voyage in a rubber tube raft. Of course the folks in El Salvador may not be too happy to see a mob of almost French speaking refugees on their doorstep.

In 1956 while in the Navy, we visited Haiti. From the harbor it would be hard to imagine a more beautiful country.

Once ashore though, things were different. The area inhabited by the poor was appalling. The stench was unbearable. I saw someone cooking over an open fire and not three feet away someone taking his daily.

The tourist section was clean and beautiful.
