Earthquake in Haiti

[Ed Jewett]

Mmmm... narcotrafikking...?.. maybe. But Caribe is the most controlled sea in the world. So controlled, that colombian traffikers has builded submarines to approach to USA shores.

I think that as a base is valuable, but there are other options, as the big Guantanamo base in Cuba.

But forgiving those considerations (sound stupid to even think on them in this moment), Haiti is a country in total collapse. Political, economic and social. Death toll can be as big as 100.000 people, and all major buildings, hospitals, services and infraestructure are in ruins. Even if international aid is generous, it might took DECADES to recover from this disaster and give haitians a hope.

Ruben, my closest friend is a Dominican who transits back and forth 4-5 times a year and spends 4-6 weeks there in the winter. and maintains close contact with the people and the culture. He informs me that the Dominican side of the island is gravely concerned because of the frequent small plane flights and drops into Haiti. I certainly wish the best for the Haitians. It is my understanding that US interests would like to bring their usual form of purposeful chaos to the region in order to de-stabilize it. I have also read about HAARP. It is my understanding that a major effort is already underway to extend "the empire" incrementally; forays have been made via air into Venezuela already, if you believe the Venezuelans, and Colombia and the isthmus have been a focal point for some time. As has been discussed elsewhere, "relief" operations often mask other purposes. I appreciate that Gitmo is nearby as well, though it is presently tasked for other purposes and also under some political pressure from the Cubans. Having published a paper on community disaster response through the International Association of Emergency Managers, I appreciate what the nation and its people are up against. I send them my prayers. Wclef Jean is heading up an effort (google it up, it involves Twitter) and he is working overtime to help his people in "staying alive": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KPV1InMNUf4
