I often wonder what the heck is so special about Haiti that the financial powers of France and USA need to keep their nation in squalor? I mean for what, to bleed a handful of billion or maybe hundreds of millions from their impoverished society?

They generate that in mere seconds from the global electronic transaction fees of which the equivalent of 2.5 quadrillion is exchanged annually generating trillions of dollars in fees. SO wtf do they need keep raping Haiti for??? I just don't get it.

I always assumed it was to continue skimming 'charity' and 'relief' money, hence the reason no relief and nothing charitable seem to reach the people.

Of course the MSM isn't going to cover this! Why would they?

Clinton was the presidential nominee of the democratic party, and the Clinton's used Haiti as their centerpiece of the socialist way. Now it's blowing up, Haiti is on fire and bodies line the streets. Thousands are marching and chanting for the Clinton's heads. If the MSM were to cover this it would be a direct reflection on the democratic party as a whole.

I predict it's going to escalate to the point where the media can no longer refuse to cover it. They'll have to, it's too big.

It seems as thought the 18th of November is a crucial day in Haiti:

It has been 215 years since our ancestors made a historic step in the liberation of Haiti from slavery on November 18, 1803, in a great battle that took place in Vertières.

This date of November 18 reminds us many things. It reminds us that November 18, 1803 was made possible because the Negroes and mulattoes in the colony made one. Dessaline and Pétion got along.

Protests have been planned to coincide with this anniversary and it seems as though the government is anticipating problems:

Haitians,

We ask each person, each actor to make efforts, so that November 18, 2018 takes place in Peace.

The Government asks all citizens to remain calm. The police have instructions to enforce the law everywhere, the demonstrations must be done in order, the police are there to protect, accompany, supervise everyone.

But wherever there are people who break the law, the police will put order in the mess.

We are building a State where justice is no different, where no one does his own justice, that's how the rule of law works.

Here's an Al Jazeera story from about a month ago which gives a pretty good overview of the beginnings of this...

That's new since the one I posted. When I made that previous post, the 17th was the most recent alert listed so between the time I made that post and when you made yours the alert was updated.

The situation appears fluid.

It always looks like that. Haiti especially port au prince is a very dirty city/ country. I was deployed there back in 04 with 3/8 during the Aristide problem and it looked the same then as now.

Haiti has to be the closest thing to hell on earth. Very sad news, they have been through a lot these past few years. I have had a lot of Haitian neighbors and most of them are hard working people and have a good work ethic.

Not a peep from the media. Typical.

I think that the media is once again showing us WHO controls the situation here, or who has damage to gain.

Only Al-Jazeera appears to be reporting this, with a total media blackout except for individual Twitter reports and alt-media sites.

This hurts those who would be exposed.

FFS people, this is a massive protest, coup attempt, or uprising, or... SOMETHING! We don't know because the MSM is NOT reporting on it. Why? If it didn't hurt the agenda then they would report on it because it would make money for them.

They know that media reports would HELP the plight of those affected by lack of aid that did reach these people. If I were Donald Trump I'd be Tweeting about this right now. The media writes stories about his single tweets, he at least could get the story out there.

November 19 is a historical.....biblical rough time.....so it's not always the day exactly, but half the time or more it's to the hour......like the former black Monday market collapse and generally other national calamity, as if Gods reckoning with his lost sheep

Sounds off topic till ya see what tomorrow has for us....till WE see what it has for us....Clinton's shaking in their boots over this now, huh!

Does any one of you who follow military operations know of any official deployments regarding this?

dominicantoday.com...

Santo Domingo.- Haiti’s socio-political turmoil could deepen this weekend with the announced protest for Sunday, a situation that stokes uncertainty and fear on the Dominican side of the border.

Haiti’s tension took a new turn with demands that president Jovenel Moïse step down on allegations of corruption linked to government officials, related to the Petrocaribe assistance funds.

Dominican border towns are also tense.

Diario Libre reports an unsuccessful attempt to obtain information from the Defense Ministry or the Army on the Government’s plans to protect border areas.

It emerged however that a meeting would be held today between the Haiti and Dominican Republic chiefs of police, and the Minister of Defense.

doing a Bing News search. as noted, US media ignoring.

Seems to me that some folks are trying to label a legitimate coup attempt as a "demonstration."

Nope.

Our msmt would not report it. But the Russians and Chinese media never balk at an opportunity to make our government or military look bad, and they have some thoroughly embedded intelligence assets. They are not reporting anything from what I can see. This could be nothing more than annual demonstrations being hyped up by local insurrectionists. State departments always issue warned ngs and alerts whenever citizens s may be present in near areas.

They have alerts issued for Argentina for the g20 summits, however I seriously doubt t Argentina is about to go through an attempted coup.

I think locals are just hyping up a somewhat regular event.

Of course the MSM isn't going to cover this! Why would they?

The Mainstream News Media aren't even covering the leak footage on how the African/Arab Migrants are taught to lie to get into Europe so i am not surprised they aren't covering this massacre.

So the Haitian and Dominican Republic police and military forces met last week to discuss rising tension in Port-au-Prince.

The Haitian delegation was headed by Haitian Armed Forces generals, Sadrac Saintil and Michael Ange Gedeon.

Haiti, Dominican military brass meet on tension

In 1993, the UN mediated indirect negotiations between Cédras and Aristide (who had taken up residence in Washington, DC to lobby for his restoration to office). Known as the Governors Island negotiations for the location where they took place, the eventual accord did little to immediately overturn the bloody coup. According to official documents, Gabriel, as well as the newly appointed chief of the general staff, Sadrac Saintil, were members of the delegation, indicating their senior positions within the Cédras regime.

...

Back in 1994, with the situation in Haiti continuing to deteriorate, and more and more Haitians fleeing the country, the US expanded its sanctions policy. Some 550 military officers were added to the sanctions list, including all of those recently appointed to the FAdH’s new high command.

In April that year, around the same time the new sanctions were levied, Haitian military and paramilitary forces descended on the neighborhood of Raboteau, where many opposition supporters were apparently seeking refuge. At least eight, and likely far more, were assassinated.

The next month a military-led commission of inquiry was tasked with investigating the allegations that a massacre had taken place in Raboteau. Cédras named Lieutenant Colonel Sadrac Saintil as one of four members, according to official documents made public as part of the Raboteau trial. Unsurprisingly, the commission found no evidence of a massacre and the FADH high command accepted the commission’s recommendation that nobody be punished.
