textAristide supporters in Montreal decry 'international coup d'etat' in Haiti by np
MONTREAL (CP) - Emotional supporters of the deposed Haitian president accused Canada on Sunday of participating in an international coup d'etat to oust Jean-Bertrand Aristide. About 40 backers marched to the American consulate to protest the removal of Aristide from the office to which he was elected four years ago - the poverty-stricken country's first democratically chosen leader in its 200 years of independence. "This is a coup," said Ferere Coffy, 52, one of the organizers o...

Although today's developments come as a shock, I think it is important to remain mobilized, to 1) denounce the violent, undemocratic transfer of power imposed by the U.S. and its allies, and 2) to advocate for the protection of democracy supporters in Haiti, who may be subject to violent retaliation....

textBush, Call Of Your Dogs! US can end the killing in Haiti it started by blackcommentator.com
In willful ignorance and with every bad intention, the U.S. corporate media ask the ridiculous question, Should the US intervene in Haiti, or not? The bloody answer screams back from the Haitian mountains and cities: Washington has already intervened militarily in Haiti, through its surrogates’ armed invasion from the Dominican Republic. The Americans set loose the dogs of war, and can rein them back in – if Washington chooses. Any discussion that fails to acknowledge the U.S. role in nurt...

textU.S. must let real democracy govern Haiti by Neil Elliott
The first democratic government of Haiti appears to be in its death throes. To add vicious insult to continuing injury, the American mainstream media continue to present Haitian affairs as the sorry result of the dismal leadership of one man, President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, despite the best efforts of the United States.
