Four “mercenaries” suspected of assassinating Haitian President Jovenel Moïse were killed by police on Wednesday night — and two others were arrested in a tense gunbattle in the impoverished country, officials said.

Three officers were held hostage and freed in the standoff, according to Haiti’s police chief, Léon Charles.

“We blocked them en route as they left the scene of the crime,” he said. “Since then, we have been battling with them,” Charles said in a televised statement.

“They will be killed or apprehended.”

Moïse, 53, was killed in a gun attack at his home outside Port-au-Prince around 1 a.m. Wednesday.

The killers were earlier described by Bocchit Edmond, Haiti’s ambassador to the US, as “well-trained professional commandos” who were feared to have already fled the country.

Edmond earlier Wednesday also called the assassins “foreign mercenaries” who tried to pass themselves off as agents of the US Drug Enforcement Administration.

I'm sure they won't kill themselves like Epstein did. /s

Sounds like they’re not even trying to cover it up, anymore.

Maybe the real bad guys got away so they were left with merely rounding up the usual suspects.

Video of the action. Guy on bullhorn sounds American, and is white.

Why am I thinking of the failed hit on Michael Corleone at Tahoe?

Never ever believe first ‘news’ reports. Even from an honest press, of which we only have a couple.
Truth usually starts to trickle out 7-10 days later.
Time will tell.

I thought I heard one of the voices say:

“Don’t forget to send the Big Guy his 10 percent.”

((sigh)) Life in Port-au-Potty. It’s like Chicago but with thicker accents.

MonkeyWorx was talking about this flight from Alexandria LA to POP:

SwiftFlights N430XA

He was speaking about how the DHS is moving "immigrants" all over the country, then slowly segued over to this flight that landed about noon, stayed for less than an hour, and then took off for Dominica. 30 minutes for refueling and off it goes back to Brownsville.

Just rather curious that the flight landed the morning of the assassination, and then boogied out. One can offload a bunch of equipment in 45 minutes.

And a DOJ/DHS plane at that.

almost immediately FakeNewsMSM suggested US move in.

a few bits and pieces gleaned from twitter feeds.

interim Prime Minister Claude Joseph was supposed to stand down in recent days.

some tweets say Joseph has already spoken to Blinken and CORE GROUP (US, Canada, France, Brazil, Spain, Germany, EU, UN, OAS). subsequently, statements from some are released.

Joseph declared State of Siege, extending his stay as PM to 26 Sept.

all are bad actors. however, Moise had to go, it seems.

time will tell.

Interesting. The entire Haitian Island is a hub for human trafficking into the US and other Nations. I think that’s all they export.

👍You might be able to give a thumbs up. After you hit the reply selection, do a right click in the reply box.

That should give you a box of choices - one of those is emoji.
Choose the emoji and you will get another box to choose the emoji you want. If you don’t see it, type thumbs up and it should come up as a choice.
