In the first week of January, a 7.0 earthquake hit Haiti. Over a 100,000 people died.
Long ago, the United States had made a pact with God that it is never going to let Haiti become independent—economically and politically. The US has succeeded— which means the God is stronger than the devil.
Pat Robertson, as usual, showed how cruel a man of God could be. He has not yet forgiven Haiti for revolting against the French colonial rule in 1804 and becoming the first republic to be led by blacks, and also the first independent country in Latin America. For this man of God, Haiti’s independence was “a pact with devil!” In other words, what he is saying is that the colored people should make a pact with God by staying under the white yoke. And this white Taliban has the CBN or Christian Broadcasting Network at his disposal.
The US army got a chance to reoccupy Haiti. By the way, this is the island where Columbus first landed in 1492 thinking that he has reached India.
The US navy has an excuse to cordon off Haiti more firmly and not letting any Haitian refugee to reach the US shores.
Time for the opportunist whites to be photographed and filmed with poor devastated colored victims. We have seen it so many times.
The US reporters could show their racism unrestrained by portraying Haitians as thugs and looters.
CNN’s Dr. Sanjay Gupta had a chance to be not a doctor but a hero.
Israeli Defense Force found a place to gain some publicity and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu got a chance for a little PR. He told the 200 member IDF team:
“You have raised human spirits and elevated the name of the State of Israel and the Israel Defense Forces.” “As many plot against us, distort and muddy our names, you have shown the real IDF.” “The Chief of Staff has told me that the other militaries were astounded by how quickly we arrived at the scene and began to work.” “Those who have seen the IDF over the years, operating under seemingly impossible situations and missions, are not surprised.” Ask the Palestinians.
