Contractors arrive in Haiti to build base for Kenyan-led forces

Civilian contractors have arrived in Haiti to build living quarters for a Kenyan-led international security force meant to counter gang violence in the Caribbean nation, the U.S. military's Southern Command said. The U.N. Security Council approved in October the creation of the Multinational Security Support mission to help Haitian police wrest back territory from alliances of gangs who control most of the capital Port-au-Prince. Kenya pledged 1,000 officers to lead the force last July, but their deployment has been repeatedly delayed, first by court challenges and then by a surge of violence in Port-au-Prince that forced the Prime Minister Ariel Henry to resign in March. Kenyan President William Ruto told Reuters last week that the swearing-in of a transition council in Haiti on April 25 had addressed that concern and Kenya was discussing how to proceed. U.S. military aircraft flew civilian contractors to Haiti from May 3 to May 5 to secure equipment and supplies arriving in the country, Southern Command said in a statement to Reuters.

*The United States trashed the Monroe Doctrine in 1917. Europe was not to interfere in the Americas. And the United States was not to interfere in Europe.*

Very interesting. Didn’t know that. It appears that with time we can’t avoid staying out of conflicts. Oil in the mideast makes us very involved there-didn’t before. Is it the rich folks doing it? They’re not worth dying for. It appears we can’t be uninvolved when we’re affected so how do we stay unaffected? The Houtis could close off the Red Sea. Who will bomb them besides us?

We having the right to ultimately control the Panama Canal in the agreement. Having the right and the ability are 2 different things-interesting times.

"The first order of business should be hunting down Barbecue."

What you're not reading in our garbage media is that Jimmy Chérizier, "Barbecue", is the leader of a coalition of right-wing death squads and they are killing Haitian communists.

"Barbecue" is Haiti's Pinochet. The only difference is that Pinochet tossed his communists out of helicopters. Barbecue eats them... but I'm willing to cut him a little slack. After all, it's Haiti we're talking about.

If they send in the park rangers the place would be peaceful pretty quickly.

Of course the UN could mess up a orgy so we shall see.
