Now violence stalks the streets in Haiti
The Australian ^ | January 19, 2010

Posted on 01/18/2010 2:57:44 PM PST by myknowledge

PORT-AU-PRINCE: Prayers of thanks and cries for help rose from Haiti's huddled homeless yesterday, the sixth day of a humanitarian crisis that was straining the world's ability to respond and igniting violence amid the rubble of Port-au-Prince.

Haitian police struggled to scatter hundreds of stone-throwing looters in the city's Old Market. Elsewhere downtown, amid the smoke from bonfires burning uncollected bodies, gunfire rang out and bands of machete-wielding young men roamed the streets, faces hidden by bandanas.

Aid groups complained of skewed priorities and a supply bottleneck at the US-controlled airport. The general in charge said the US military was "working aggressively" to speed up deliveries.

But anger mounted that other helping hands were slow in getting food and water to millions in need.

"The government is a joke. The UN is a joke," Jacqueline Thermiti, 71, said as she lay in the dust with dozens of dying elderly outside their destroyed nursing home.

Looks like she's right.

Haitians with machetes and bandanas should be treated as zombies, and dealt with as such.

The Haitian Aid is being thwarted by Obama created insurrection behind the scenes ( Thank you SEIU and Kenyan UN operatives).

Don’t you know yet how Obama works? He had a choice between:

a) a rapid response ( to his mind,Imperialistic)military response that would have secured Port au Prince and delivered immediate military security and aid within 48 hours.

b) the kumbayah UN aid model with a conglomeration of aid agencies that will fight with the US military rather that deliver stockpiled aid, AKA, the UN AID GOAT F_CK ( UNAGF).The UNAGF lines the pockets of crooks and organized crime in any country it “helps.”The people mostly starve and the aid agencies do mock protests about the barbaric nature of the testosterone driven natives, while simultaneously denigrating and interfering with military assistance.

Guess which model of aid Obama chose? Buahahahahahahahah!

Ask yourself: WHY?

You got to know how Obama works by now!

HINT1: ( the aid is designed not to work so that an emergency alternative will have to be invoked by Obama.)

HINT2: ( If you have to read hint 2 , you are either naive or dumber than dirt(joke), but we take mercy on you in either case: I give you this word array: immigrant, refugees,votes,1 million,settle in swing state Florida)

Its demographic warfare, just like the Health Care Bill is.

All Obama has to do is shoot a few looters. Ask your self why he will not.

It was just a matter of time. The gangs will try to create a power structure to control food & other relief supplies and the cash rolling in. At the same time the government’s political opposition, including the communists, will blame the existing government for the problems not being solved after the quake.

This is going to be one heck of a big mess. I don’t think we want our troops in the middle of what will end up gang and political warfare for power, control of relief supplies, and control of all the cash OBama will pour into this corrupt little country.

From the article...

“But the Geneva-based aid group Doctors Without Borders complained there was little sign of significant aid distribution.

The “major difficulty”, it said, was the bottleneck at the airport, under US military control. It said a flight carrying its own inflatable hospital was denied landing clearance and it was being trucked overland from Santo Domingo, more than 300km away in the Dominican Republic, delaying its arrival by 24 hours.

French, Brazilian and other officials had complained about the US-run airport’s refusal to allow their supply planes to land. A WFP official said that the Americans’ priorities were out of sync, allowing too many US military flights and too few aid deliveries.”

Haitian friends told me the way to get rich in Haiti is not by entreneurship, or professional achievement, or anything but waiting for the government to be overthrown and hitching your wagon to the new government and rising with it (one of my friends was the daughter of a Duvalier crony).

And when the government falls, those who got rich from it leave for Florida, where they have a haven pre-prepared.

why is many folks saying NOW VIOLENCE

if anyone knew about that island then they would know that it was violence and murder every day and night, even no go areas for police, gangs fighting turf wars and killing was second nature so why is anyone surprised this is the norm for most on that island

if you hear the media you would think this happened in the cayman islands or virgin islands.

Now obama wants to bring thousands over here infact tens of thousands

been saying this for some time

we need to get out of there NOW before we get roped in .
We can still give medical aid on the medic ships and help with logistics but we do not need boots on the ground nor do we need to bring them over here like the white house wants

did we not learn anything from that

We went in there wiht good intentions and got roped in and we are about to make the same mistake again.

violence was rife and life was cheap before this.

there’s some people who you cannot change nor do they want to.
All we can do is stand off and provide from a distance like a ship
The UN says this is their job then let them have it but not us please.
We should not have troops there nor should we bring them here. b;lack hawk down again.

The left always try to do what does not work, Communism, giving aid to countries with people acting like animals, carter tried much of what they are doing now as did Clinton and it doesn’t work so stop this before we have another war to deal with

I just heard on Glenn Beck that the Marines we are sending to Haiti won’t have arms. Is that really true?

Haiti earthquake: criminal gangs return to rule slums after escaping from prison Gang members who once ruled Haiti's largest slum with violence and intimidation have returned to the streets after stealing guns from prison guards at the collapsed National Penitentiary and destroying all records of their crimes. More than 3,000 inmates broke free from the prison after the earthquake hit last Tuesday, brandishing assault rifles and mounted on motorcycles, before returning to the Cite Soleil shanty town. It is understood that the criminals, including a hardened killer known only by the street name "Blade", descended on the rubble of Haiti's collapsed Justice Ministry and set it on fire to destroy any records of their incarceration or criminal history. Records held at the prison itself had also been incinerated. Ridding the slum of its warlord rulers had been among President Rene Prevail's most celebrated achievements since taking office in 2006. But they have now flooded back to Cite Soleil, a warren of shacks and open sewers with a poverty-stricken population of 300,000. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/centralamericaandthecaribbean/haiti/7010543/Haiti-earthquake-criminal-gangs-return-to-rule-slums-after-escaping-from-prison.html Warlord Blade broke out of prison with 3000 during quake http://www.smh.com.au/world/warlord-blade-broke-out-of-prison-with-3000-during-quake-20100118-mg76.html

I think we are getting the picture. Obama should round up and or shoot the lot if them. However there is a good chance many will end up right here in Miami Dade.

Excellent Obama thug material.SEIU recruits as we speak.
