Without A Crisis Haiti Doesn't Exist

I just read an article on the NY Daily News about how CNN is profiting from Haiti's Crisis, Georges W Bush is responsible for lack of water infrastructure in Haiti, Bill Clinton destroyed local rice production in Haiti, and they are still... Hmmmm...

Very Interesting reading... Here are some snipets...

About CNN and Anderson Cooper

... CNN doubled its prime-time viewership in January when a 7.0 earthquake devastated much of the nation's capital, Port-au-Prince. With CNN lagging behind its more partisan competitors, disaster porn is now the news channel's bread and butter....

... Anderson Cooper pledged to stay on the story of Haiti's reconstruction... But he's only been seen in Haiti once since the quake... on its six-month anniversary... to accept a medallion for his reporting from the Haitian government...

About Clinton and Bush

... The George W. Bush administration blocked millions of dollars in loans from the Inter-American Development Bank for public water infrastructure in Haiti's central region...

... President Bill Clinton pressured the Haitian government into slashing tariffs on imported American rice, devastating the rice farming economy of the area....

... Families are so poor they have no choice but to drink, bathe and cook with water from the muddy Artibonite River...

... the Clinton-Bush Haiti fund, inaugurated by President Obama with both former Presidents at his side, is still running Web advertisements that say "100% of donations go directly to relief efforts." That's a cruel lie, considering the quake victims living in flood zones under withered plastic tarps....

psalm 118:8-9 it is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man. 9 it is better to trust in the Lord than to trust in Princes.

People we need to keep our eyes on Jesus Christ not on these politicians.

God is Haiti's only answer.

God bless you all and God bless

I do not believe that, I disagree, Haiti exist at the pre-earth life. We have to be very intelligent when we read something.And I don't think Georges W.Bush is responsible for lack of water infrastructure in Haiti.The rulers of Haiti are responsible.nou se yon peyi ki lib tankou USA.Gran paran nou yo te batay menm jan yo te batay pou pran libete yo.le ameriken te fin batay yo te mete tet yo ansanm pou fe yon chwa ki peyi yo bezwen apre indepandans yo.Pou mwen, mwen kwe yo te vini avek vizyon, epi lide e respe pou moun ki te batay yo avec inpotans moun genyen.

You have to have "bloody hands" to remain the only Superpower in the world.

Rome was also an empire, and nothing last forever.

The Bible said there is a season for everything under the sun, and one day it will be Haiti's season.
