“October is not too far away, and those Haitians who are not slaves know only one God beneath the almighty Bondye. The spirit of all omnipresent good and beauty is neither Paul Farmer, Bill Clinton nor cholera-MINUSTAH.” – Ezili Dantò of HLLN, August 27, 2011

Paul Farmer is not a God but the face of the UN/USAID/World Bank

October is not too far away, and those Haitians who are not mentally enslaved or integrated into the unjust Eurocentic dominion holding the world hostage, know only one God beneath the almighty Bondye. The spirit of all omnipresent good and beauty is neither Paul Farmer, Bill Clinton nor cholera-MINUSTAH. To those worthy of the name Ayisyen, only one man took action that is the embodiment of Bondye’s divine courage and warrior essence as expressed on earth and his name is – Jean Jacques Dessalines. Lafanmi sanble! Nou fè yon sèl kò depi lè marasa, lè mò e lè mistè. Ginen poze. Janjak’s humanitarian achievements for the world since the white settlers’ “New World”-era began, remain unmatched.

Desalin’s Law is the law most recognized by Haitians. After defeating, in combat, the then Euro-superpowers; after 300-years of monarchical Europe’s and the white settlers’ brutal enslavement of Africans, in 1804, the year of Haiti’s Independence, Haiti’s founding father set down Dessalines’ Law for Haiti to prosper and remain sovereign. It is as follows:

“Never shall a colonist or a European set foot on this territory with the title of master or proprietor. This resolution shall henceforth form the fundamental basis of our Constitution.”

“…No whiteman of whatever nation he may be, shall put his foot on this territory with the title of master or proprietor, neither shall he in future acquire any property therein…”

Folks, the European and colonist didn’t come back to Haiti as just master or proprietor. No sireeee. He/she came back as GOD!

Reading yesterday’s news, as usually, one comes upon the colonial narrative on Haiti. Yesterday I read a Hartford Courant article about God (http://cour.at/oMqdL1). Yes, “GOD” and “saints” cast in the image of white men in Haiti.

What’s in a name? Some names horrify enslavers, tyrants and despots, everywhere…

(See also: A message to Paul Farmer, the Senate, Dobbins & Francois by Ezili Dantò, Jan. 30, 2010; Beating back the elite’s rabid rage; Seismic shifts and Avatar Haiti)

Of course, I paid attention. Wasn’t I just in US Federal court just last December with another white God working in Haiti for ten years molesting Haiti boys who the Ezili Network helped get 30-years behind bars? So all Gods working in Haiti claim our attention at the Network.

Unhinged from the actual history of anthropologist (that is, the study of Black and Brown people by mostly white men and women) in Haiti to ensure their Euro-tribes dominance; oblivious to the history of the “benevolent” missionaries in Africa, Asia, the Caribbean and Latin America, “God is in Haiti,” blithely reported the Hartford Courant article. No, not the one Michelangelo cast in the image of his male lover and that’s purported to be the image of Jesus and is framed at Catholic Cathedrals and protestant churches all over the world. Another one.

And you thought Haitians were Godless!

But here we are with more than one white God.

Yep, “God” the article explained is in Haiti, living behind foreign military bases and NGO color-coded distribution charts. Well, maybe not explained as blatantly as that, but that’s the coded message nevertheless…

God is in the Haiti where Haitians are dying in droves from not having clean water because it’s been infected with foreign feces
. The Haiti where the UN is collecting nearly $1billion per year, has been in Haiti for over seven years and no improvements have been made. Just a nightmare for the masses, one international crime perpetrated after the other without any end in sight, as the Caribbean’s only billionaires, living in Haiti, become richer and while the likes of Paul Farmer consolidate their narcissistic narrative and leverage it to share in the stolen bounty at the World Bank, IMF and with USAID on the backs of suffering Haitians. That Haiti. The one where Bill Clinton’s “better, post-earthquake reconstruction” is about moving FEMA trailers from Katrina fame into Haiti, complete with formaldehyde and all. That Haiti.

Yesterday, when I read this Hartford Courant article on “Author Tracy Kidder To Discuss “Mountains Beyond Mountains” at Trinity.” (http://cour.at/oMqdL1), I thought of Dessalines’ law.

In that article, as usual, the first line was “Paul Farmer is a physician, anthropologist and, as one of his former patients in Haiti put it, a god. Farmer, who has made it his life’s work to transform health care on a global scale by focusing on the poorest and sickest people, is the subject of author Tracy Kidder’s book, Mountains Beyond Mountains: The Quest of Dr. Paul Farmer, a Man Who Would Cure the World.”

Farmer has Tracy Kidder writing his press, as he rampages through Haiti, Rwanda, the Congo, doing the old missionary thing, along with his cohorts, Bill Gates and Bill Clinton, leaving behind Black and Brown death, oppression and indignity.

But, hey, he’s a God to a patient in Haiti somewhere. A patient who was most likely suffering from, if not the ravages of US policies of fraudulent “free trade,” containment in poverty for Haiti, then some of the ravages of USAID/Obama/Bill Clinton-like tourism haven initiatives of the past forty or so decades, where HIV-transmitting US/Euro Northern tourists’ impose their neoliberal, death-plan, “development ideas” on Haiti.

It’s been over a decade since Kidder keeps repeating that “God”-line about Farmer, as if time has stood still and Farmer hasn’t sold out to Officialdom; is not now the face of Officialdom – of USAID, the death-squad organizers (which he sought to head) and the UN, the coup-consolidators in Haiti? As if Farmer is not the UN deputy spokesperson for Clinton/Obama’s cholera democracy in Haiti? ( See, Bolivia urges US aid agency expulsion. ED Note- “Uhmmm, are you taking notes Haiti politicos?”)

For those icons who symbolizes Western so-called “civilization,” time mostly freezes at their best face in time. For Blacks, unless you’re servicing their tyranny, time freezes at our worst moments in life. Ezili’s Network corrects the imbalance for Haiti with the counter-colonial narrative. Haiti is smaller than Rhode Island with only 10 million Blacks inheriting a unique revolutionary legacy and beautiful African culture that is in jeopardy of extinction. It is sacred territory, from its inception, a place where a Black woman and man could be free within a sea of US-Euro enslavement, forced assimilation, colonization and neocolonialism. Today, that territory must continue to belong to the sovereign descendants of Dessalines’ revolution as a world heritage place, protected by all right-thinking nations who wish to lift up universal human freedom, not profit-over-people Bourgeoisie Freedom.

“From the viewpoint of the discoverers, terror is only terror when it terrorises them, their descendants or their friends… –.Jacques Depelchin (Africa: In Solidarity with Site Soley). And from the viewpoint of their victims, Lila Watson said it best: “If you have come here to help me then you are wasting your time, but if you have come because your liberation is bound up with mine then let us work together.”

Which leads me to the point of this response. Every time I read that the “good doctor” Paul Farmer is a GOD to Haiti, I wonder whose Haiti they are talking about? Cholera-democracy Haiti, NGO-corrupt and UN-occupied Haiti? Or, Dessalines’-Haiti? And thus, I take this moment for the record, and for historical purposes, to speak for the voiceless Haiti and for the defiant, still-whole and uncompromised, un-conflicted Haiti – the Haiti that’s not been rendered sick, docile, subservient, infirmed and more likely to promote the interests of foreigners than itself. No, nix that. I take this moment to recall the words of Haiti’s founding father, Jean Jacques Dessalines:

“…I command a people whose courage repel obstacles and grows by dangers. Let those homicidal cohorts come! I wait for them with a firm foot and a calm eye. I freely resign to them the shores and the spots where towns were; but woe to those who come too near the mountains; better would it have been for them to be swallowed up in the depths of the sea, than to be torn to pieces by the furious hands of the children of Hayti. War against the tyrants –always war— war till death; that is my motto:– Liberty, independence: that is our rallying cry.

Generals, officers, soldiers: differing from him by whom I was preceded, the ex-general Toussaint L’Ouverture, I have been faithful to the promise which I made you when I took up arms against tyranny, and as long as I live I will keep my oath. Never shall a colonist or a European set foot on this territory with the title of master or proprietor. This resolution shall henceforth form the fundamental basis of our Constitution.

If other chiefs, after me, in following an entirely opposite course, shall dig their graves, and that of their fellow patriots, then you will have to accuse only the law of that destiny which shall have prevented me from rendering my fellow citizens free and happy. May my successors follow the plan which I have traced for them; it is the best system to consolidate their power; it is the greatest homage they can pay to my memory.” –Jean Jacques Dessalines, April 28, 1804, Head quarters at Cape Haitian, First year of independence.

So, the Haitian Earthquake was a HUGE money maker for Zanmi Lasante (Dr Paul Farmer).

That's right! You would expect them to be almost destitute after all of their efforts in Haiti during the quake.

But No! They had a record year for profits. And they "Banked it" vs helping at General Hospital in PauP.

Dr. Paul Farmer, put $60 MILLION USD's into the USA stock market AFTER the earthquake.

Dr Paul Farmer, walked out of General Hospital in PauP in July, 2010, and left Haitians dying on the floor with rats running around.

Yes! Dr. Paul Farmer, with over $87 million USD's in cash/investments, left Haitians to die on the FLOOR.

CoolP took-down a picture at General Hospital of a "person" throwing a Haitian body into a "Haitian body dump".

I think he should have left that picture and highlighted under it that Zanmi Lasante walked out of General Hospital with $87 million USD's in the BANK!

In 2010, they indicate that they provided "grants to partner organisations" in Haiti of $32.9 million but never state WHO they are.

IN 2010, they ONLY spent $8.3 million on consumables and durable goods in Haiti.

They collected $152 million in donations.

I suggest that you get out of your PRO, Democrat Party, bubble, and tell me where I have mis-stated the FACTS about that miserable, SOB, named Paul Farmer.

I dare you Rachel, to show me where I am wrong about that miserable bastard.

You are a far left, pro Democrat Party "slave", that will defend the SOB's of Haiti without conscience.

This is a direct challenge to you.

SHOW ME how my facts are wrong!

You're living in the USA with a strong infrastructure, (lights turn-on with a switch, you can drink the water from your faucet, you have a commode that works, your garbage can is emptied very week, you can drive on pavement to work without a gun) but after 35 YEARS of Clinton/NGO control of Haiti, Haitians have NONE of these luxuries.

You could give a shit about Haitians, as long as your Lilly White friends like you.

Yes, yes, smoke your "joint" and talk about how great the first Black President is (Bill Clinton); meanwhile, Black Haitians live in misery.

MIAMI, Oct 19 (Reuters) -

A U.S. NGO plans to start a ground-breaking cholera vaccination campaign in Haiti in January, it said on Wednesday, as experts warned that efforts to combat the year-old deadly epidemic were faltering badly.

Paul Farmer, co-founder of Boston-based Partners in Health (PIH), told a conference call that Haiti's cholera epidemic was now the most serious in the world proportionate to the size of the poor earthquake-ravaged Caribbean nation.

But Farmer said with medical NGOs increasingly withdrawing from the cholera treatment fight in Haiti, partially because of lack of funding, it was essential to add a serious vaccination program to other important anti-cholera measures such as establishing clean water and sanitation facilities.

The vaccine used would be Shanchol, which is produced by Sanofi Aventis' India-based division Shantha. Currently some 200,000 doses of this vaccine were available to be purchased, PIH officials said.

AID "ATTENTION DEFICIT"

Working with a Haitian medical NGO, PIH planned to start administering an oral vaccine in January, aiming to treat 100,000 people in two areas -- one an urban zone of the capital Port-au-Prince and the other a rural community in the central Artibonite region that was the epicenter of the epidemic.

Farmer said he and Ivers were campaigning to raise the funds needed to support the limited vaccination program.

PIH announced the vaccination initiative as a chorus of health charities, including Doctors Without Borders and International Medical Corps, warned that anti-cholera efforts in Haiti were running out of financial support and momentum.

-----------------------------------

Can you believe this guy; Farmer?

He puts $60 million into the stock market from donations destined for Haitians on top of the $11 million he had invested from previous Haitian Misery campaigns.. Now, October, 19, and he's "planning" to begin administering cholera vaccines in JANUARY!

He complains about the seriousness of ths problem but won't dip into his $60 million to buy the vaccine.

He must go out and "raise the funds" for this program.

And again, the media doesn't question this dichotomy. How is it he put $60 million into the stock market but doesn't have cash for vaccines and must go out and raise it!

Meanwhile, between now and JANUARY, many thousand more will become infected and die.

This guy truly has some balls and the Haitian Government should take some lessons on how to BS your way into more cash.

Where is the outrage from the diaspora and the Haitian Gov't?

Silence. Is all you get.

Dr Paul Farmer is untouchable. He is one of the Gods.

Pathetic!

Is the news I just reported not new?

Farmer just "keeps on keepin on" with his BS.

So, I simply keeps tabs on the SOB.

Somebody has to challenge the Gods!

No matter how BAD they get.

I will keep you POSTED on his shenanigans.

Unfortunately, he keeps a steady diet of this stuff coming out.

His "cache" in Haiti has dropped tremendously.

Yes, the White Elitists of the Northeast still love him.

But here at Haitix, we know the whole story.

And it is damn ugly!

Kathy,

You make my point about the diaspora perfectly when I state:

Where is the outrage from the diaspora and the Haitian Gov't?

Silence. Is all you get.

Dr Paul Farmer is untouchable. He is one of the Gods.

Pathetic!

Your adulation of the "Gods" is the EXACT reason they continue unabated and donated money continues to disappear.
