“This is the water pump/well the people living close to the Nepalese UN/MINUSTAH base use for their drinking water that is still today infected with cholera and making them sick. It is here that the cholera outbreak in Haiti started and local residents were among the very first to be sickened by the waterborne bacterial toxin that spread throughout the waterways, and in one year gave Haiti the largest cholera epidemic in the world today. The pump is located in the direct vicinity of the MINUSTAH camp where contaminated waste was dumped in the Meye river, a tributary of the Artibonite River.

Yet, hundreds of millions of dollars have been raised to give relief to the Haiti cholera victims. But 10 long months later, at the very center where the UN cholera began to spread in defenseless Haiti, there is no purified water for the people to keep healthy and alive. The old and very young are especially vulnerable to the virulent South Asian-UN-imported disease. Our delegation witnessed old grandmas, grandpas and small babies suffering horribly from this foreign-made catastrophe.

The puppet Haitian government under UN/US occupation, the local and international media, human rights organizations, civil society, all, seem too vested in the false benevolence and colonial system in Haiti to take on the UN security council and the current US Obama government that currently leads and animates its Haiti "death plan," and disaster capitalism policy. All the authorities have remained fairly silent in face of this travesty.

Clean water is health and life and the simple solution. But the UN and its UN envoy (Bill Clinton) and deputy envoy to Haiti (the “godly and good” Harvard doctor -Paul Farmer), are, blithely presiding over the NGO and donor country’s collecting of cholera dollars to set up medical centers mostly foreign foundations and charities benefit from, while eschewing long-term prevention, blaming Haiti’s poor sanitary conditions, or blaming the victims for their sufferings. (Farmer relieves himself on Haiti’s dying cholera victims.)

Yet, Haitians have been bathing in the Meye and Artibonite rivers since around 1503 when the first kidnapped Africans where brought in shackles to the European’s so-called “New World.”  Their sanitary conditions did not give them cholera until, 507 years later, on October 2010.

The imported diseases brought in 1492 to Haiti by the Europeans helped annihilate the natives of Ayiti, known then as the Tainos. Haitians, the first to avenge the Americas and Taino genocide are now dying from the indignity of being forced to drink up foreign feces-laced water. (Whole-genome study gives irrefutable evidence UN brought cholera to Haiti.)

Ezili’s HLLN went to Haiti to denounce the current colonial occupation of Haiti, show the slow genocide, the forced assimilation, the environmental contamination, repeat injustices, deaths and indignities imposed in just one year of this catastrophic UN imported epidemic. Effectively, it is nothing less than mass biological poisoning visited upon the Eastern, African part of the Island called Haiti – a poisoning the world’s civil societies and powers conveniently do not see and refuse to be accountable for introducing into Haiti through the UN world organization that represents them.

***

We thank the honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam who heard our desperate plea and generously helped Ezili’s HLLN bring clean water technology to Haiti. We hope others with greater resources and authority than HLLN will take up their responsibilities, follow suit with more clean water technology for Haiti and permanent water and sanitation plants, not bottled water, not more aquatabs, not more pharmaceuticals. But use the cholera and donation monies available towards prevention, restitution, reparation -  environmental clean up, free health care, and the water filters, sanitary and sewage plants necessary to stop the needless dying and suffering their contamination introduced to Haiti.” —Ezili Dantò of HLLN, August 11, 2011, Mirebalais Haiti.

Brother Patrick Muhammad, a Haitian-American with the Nation of Islam, talk to two little boys who, according to their mothers, and unlike more than 6,200 Haitians since Oct. 2010, actually survived the UN-imported cholera bacterium. So far it’s estimated over 438,000 Haitians have been hospitalized as these boys where with cholera. Yet, UN authorities claim to be above the law, residing all day long doing nothing of service for their Haiti victims behind their walled-gates inside Haiti with immunity, not mitigating their damages, or changing their manner of disposing their feces, admitting they imported the disease to Haiti but denying they have a responsibility to clean the water they infected, do environmental clean-up or provide reparations for the imported Haiti suffering, ill-health and deaths their gross negligence added to earthquake traumatized Haitians – August 11, 2011

On Tuesday, January 12, 2010 the Haitian apocalypse Christened a “Bold New World”. We have stood back and speculated at the deliberate tone of the atrocities that have been inflicted on the survivors. Americas military response to a humanitarian crisis, the involvement of high level players like Bill Clinton, Michelle Obama and even Dubya himself, internationally sanctioned and enforced circus style elections, the failure of billions of dollars in aid to produce even a rudimentary improvement to Port au Prince, and what seems to be the intentional (nobody could be that stupid!) introduction of a virulent form of cholera to Haiti’s water supply are just some of the inexplicable events that have plagued Haiti for the past 19 months. Are these the machinations of BP Oil, Monsanto, and a cartel of “business” men endeavoring in a homicidal form of disaster capitalism or are they an attempt at human experimentation by using Haiti as a microcosm for a New World ravaged by cataclysmic events? Archeological evidence like the submerged cities in the Gulf of Cambay off India, Yonaguni-Jima off Japan, and the ancient seaport of Tiahuanaco thrust 2 miles up in the Andes lend new credibility to Plato who said many civilizations have arisen and vanished leaving no trace. Recent events in the Indian Ocean, Japan, and Haiti itself seem to lend credence to the “Maya” calendar and the “theory's” of Charles Hapgood. The deliberate obfuscation of history by organized academia indicates a conspiracy to let nature run its course and eradicate a human populace that has now become a festering sore on the earths crust. Haiti is being used to study post apocalyptic scenarios for the planet and those who have ignored her plight will now get to experience it first hand.
Hello Jack,

Thanks for the comment. Without a doubt the genocide in Haiti is intentional, as you say the powerful are not stupid just insane. To believe in the temporal, in profit, in being able to control biology and re-order their tiny numbers, remaking the earth, the sun, the moon, the stars, life to bend. You speak of the Mayan and other ancient civilizations who rather wait this ugly vibration out. At the end, it's all for naught, Jack. The sun would have to be annihilated before the people of the sun could be eradicated as these insane vampires dream. If that is a possiblity, no life will survive. All graven images aside, Jack, its all sound and fury signifying NOTHING. So the game goes on. We are molded and here to mold.

To that end, as we already knew:

An article, published today in the online open access journalmBIO, is the first to compare the whole genomes of bacteria from Haitian cholera patients with those found in Nepal around the time in 2010 when the peacekeepers left their country. It found that the genomes from the two sets of bacteria are virtually identical. (See, sciencenow for "Whole-Genome Study Nails Haiti-Nepal Cholera Link"
