I realize the truth is sometimes very painful. Usually the ones who have the most vociferous response are the ones in the most agony. I understand your suffering and pray that you find relief - one way or another. God may bring you to it in spite of your resistance and your chronic persistence in your atheism. Sometimes the pain gets so bad that we hit bottom. Then you might be ready for a true conversion of heart and mind - and not any sooner, sorta like an addict in the final throe of an addiction. In the meantime I shall pray for the salvation of your troubled soul........Amen - Praise the Lord........
Summary: Haiti was forced to pay France for its freedom. When they couldn't afford the ransom, France (and other countries, including the United States) helpfully offered high-interest loans. By 1900, 80% of Haiti's annual budget went to paying off its "reparation" debt. They didn't make the last payment until 1947. Just 10 years later, dictator François Duvalier took over the country and promptly bankrupted it, taking out more high-interest loans to pay for his corrupt lifestyle. The Duvalier family, with the blind-eye financial assistance of Western countries, killed 10s of thousands of Haitians, until the Haitian people overthrew them in 1986. Today, Haiti is still paying off the debt of an oppressive dictator no one would help them get rid of for 30 years. The rest of the world refuses to forgive this debt. So, in a way, maybe Robertson is right. Haiti is caught in a deal with the devil, and the devil is us. Update: mgfarrelly points out another thing I didn't know—the U.S. Congress is currently considering a bill called The Jubilee Act for Responsible Lending and Expanded Debt Cancellation. Part of what this bill would do is help countries like Haiti get their debt canceled, without making that cancellation conditional on things like closing down free schools or raising the cost of fresh water. May be a good time to contact your representatives about about this bi-partisan measure.

Personally - I have always known this to be true of Haiti. I would NEVER go near a Haitian native living here in America for the very same reasons Robertson is describing. Voodoo and Santaria are pretty much the "state religion" in Haiti. As soon as this happened I was very conscious of the evil and satanic nature of this entire island. This includes the so-called Dominican Republic. Its all one place - what you’re seeing are only apparent contrasts as though the DR were really prosperous and successful especially when placed against their counterparts on the other side of the island. Haiti is condemned and they have condemned themselves by participating in these evil practices.
Pay attention out there - THIS IS A SIGN FOR AMERICA - because you are in virtually the same danger because of your apostasy and the fact that you have turned from Christ and have become a Godless nation - an abomination in the eyes of God. Retribution is not far off - MARK THESE WORDS as the entire nation goes to the flames.
Robertson is just being honest but you Americans - in your trenchant godlessness and outright atheism are too blinded to see and your ears are deaf to the "WORD" who is Jesus Christ...shame on you all and may God have mercy on this nation - be prepared for a cataclysm: a total disaster wrought by the hand of God for your arrogance and disobedience. The cult of ritual human sacrifice - aka ABORTION - is enough, in and of itself, for God to destroy this nation as He did Sodom and Nineveh.........

My experience has been that persons such as yourself who make such bold claims as to their so-called 'well being' that usually far exceed the condition of the rest of us 'ordinary mortals', are for the most part - out and out frauds. In short - LIARS given to hyperbole and self aggrandizement. But as a consolation I have decided to include you in my 'prayer list' of incorrigibles and malcontents -
