Take a look at this rendering of a proposed beachfront resort development in Cote-de-Fer Haiti from the ministry of tourism.

Haiti's Tourism Minister Stephanie Villedrouin had the great ambition to turn Cote-de-Fer Haiti into a resort area similar to Punta Cana in the Dominican Republic.

Haiti Needed $350 Million to develop 16-Mile stretch in Cote-de-Fer Haiti.

The plan was to turn a 16-mile stretch of largely unoccupied beachfront on the country's southern coast, known as Côté-de-Fer, to build a resort area in the likes of Punta Cana in the neighboring Dominican Republic

Haiti's Ministry of Tourism estimated it would need up to $350 million in private investment to develop the area, including infrastructure such as utilities, a sewer system and roads.

This is an actual screenshot from Bill Gates' blog where he spoke about his visit to Haiti back in 2014. Apparently it was not his first.

In this screenshot of his blog Bill Gates mentioned his trip to Haiti together with his wife Melinda and kids where they went to Cange to visit Dr Paul Farmer.

Bill Gates mentioned how Dr. farmer's hospital had changed since his last visit which means that was not the first time Bill Gates came to Haiti.

The more you read about Haiti's history, the more you understand all of the things that go on in that country, the more you know things that make you go Hmmmm...

The more you uncover the hidden iron fists in velvet gloves that are pounding this little nation and keeping it forever in poverty the more you know the things that make you go Hmmmm...

The more you learn about the greedy and power hungry sons of bitches who continuously manipulate the status quo in Haiti, both foreign and domestic, the more you know about the things that make you go Hmmmm...

Haiti is not just this poor little country in the Caribbean, Haiti is not just the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere. There is a lot more to it than that.

As you learn and discover more about the secret agendas against this country believe me you will uncover so many things that make you go hmmmm...

Then and only then can you begin to understand what is really going on in the Republic of Haiti, the first black Republic, the only successful slave revolt ever in this world that was not only successful but gave birth to a nation.

Haitians love to drink coconut water but I doubt if they know about all the health benefits of this natural drink. Coconut water is good for you and so is coconut oil.

Rest in Peace, Saintil Dorvil, aka Michel, aka Doming.

Cousin Michel died in early 2023. This picture of him savoring this fresh coconut was taking vack in May 2014 in our mother's hometown of Savann a Pal, outside Maissade, Centre, Haiti.

It would be nice if such a book really exists.

There are many people who would benefit from it, Haitians and foreigners alike. A lot of dummies try to run this country.

Every time something bad happens anywhere in the entire Republic of Haiti, the media talks about "insecurity in Haiti."

If two "bouretye" fight over a woman in the streets and one of them ends up hurting the other. there's "insecurity in Haiti."

It's a very popular phrase in Haiti, tough in the United States it's different. You may year about Food Insecurity in the United States, or Housing insecurity in the United States, but plain old "insecurity in the United States," the media doesn't say it like that.
