29-30 January 2010
Although none of our party who are training at the moment is destined for Haiti, one of ours has a spouse in Haiti at the moment and has been told his deployment could last two to six months. It seems Canada now has a new mission to support, not just a relief effort. And as a group of us went for supper last night, an after-work assembly of dental hygienists at a table next to us had at least one spouse flying a Seahawk on the USS Normandy. The odds are there won’t be too many degrees of separation anywhere in the US or Canada before either you know someone — or know someone who knows someone — who’s been on deployment in the past 10 years.
A quick check today on the same Canadian News websites from my last dispatch shows a better track record on Haitian coverage, but still no stories about our troops. Air Canada’s commendable donation of three aid flights on one of its A330 Airbus jets has garnered that airline a lot of MSM attention and good PR. The orphans they brought to Canada are too poor to own luggage for the baggage handlers to misplace, so they at least will be spared that trauma.
What began as a short reply to mitchell44 on Dispatch, Interim: On Haiti exploded into many more words than I intended. An IED of writ, if you will, as I try to co-join the roots of slavery in Haiti and the allowance of such exploitation in the Quran. Mitch states:
“With our short attention span, Haiti has less than 10 years to turn some sort of corner, the one they’ve been trying to find since they achieved independence in 1804, well before we could set our own course here in Canada.
Cynic that I am, I don’t think they have it in them, regardless of how much effort and money we throw at the issue.
But I am will to concede that less members of our military will die there.”
Mitchell44 was absolutely correct in their casualty assumption. And ditto on the Western spheres of influence regarding its attention span. Those Haitians that would “have it in them” have mostly emigrated to the US, Canada, or anywhere because Haiti has next to nothing, and so Haiti loses its very lifeblood.
Haiti on the “Nothingness” Scale
On a scale of “nothingness”, there is “next to nothing”, which is better than what there is in Afghanistan, followed by Haiti, and then finally “Nothing”. This impromptu imagined scale should not be confused with the Nothingness Theory. Afghanistan only rates higher because of all the money and lives being spent there by we Kuffars in the West, and especially not by the Muslim majority nations found in Dar al-Islam.
If we spent as many resources in Haiti as we’ve spent in Afghanistan over the same amount of years, it certainly wouldn’t defeat Islamic inspired terrorism, not that what we’ve done to date in Afghanistan has done that either; but if we had, Haiti would have been on the way out of a third world status, and I doubt anybody showing up to help would have to deal with IEDs. In this revised retrospect, Haiti would be better off, less NATO soldiers would be dead, and Jihadists would still be causing destruction just like they continue today, regardless of what we wouldn’t have done in Afghanistan.
As mitchell44 mentioned, at least Haiti at one time had the ability to get out from their colonial yoke of the French, where they broke their thrall bondage. The ensuing cycle of colonial attempts to retake this territory by the British and the French, complete with the cycle of despots, who managed to also take control of the now Dominican Republic and free their slaves, never benefited Haiti as it could have, such as in the other Infidel nations where the eventual abolition allowed for some handover of infrastructure and government. At the time, the revolt which killed an estimated 40 000 white colonists, compared to the (est.) 24 000 black slaves, probably sowed the seeds of doom and poverty which haunt Haiti to this day.
The slave society run by the non-blacks was doomed to failure due to its fragility, especially where the laissez-faire attitude towards martial security of the French was concerned in that period of time. After all, France had been on a losing streak since the British Empire Struck Back on the Seas and in Louisbourg, both times. In spite of having a larger population than Britain, the French lacked the conviction to maintain control of their holdings and colonies. The Haitians also had a domestic WMD in the form of mosquito-borne Yellow Fever; where this hemorrhagic affliction killed over 50 000 French soldiers in a failed bid by Bonaparte to return the Island to the status quo. When the Haitians freed Ayiti, and killed all those with the skills necessary to build a new country, through a long awaited retribution, the human instinct to control used the learned behaviour of the time; the liberated acted in the only fashion they knew, through absolute decree and terror, a skill which was easily emulated and passed on through generations.
Many years later, in our own Western Back yard, as the world shrinks every day through increased population and communication, the polarization of humanity on Earth has begun to coalesce into ideological frameworks that trade with each other. In the past, such divarication into groups or nations was simply political, racist, fascist or nationalistic, each with their own unsolvable endemic flaws that only lead to failures, unless abated through complete Orwellian control of the masses, or through terror. And like the retarded stepchild someone eventually has to deal with, humanity continues to exhibit the same insanity and failed social experiments through the fault of ill-conceived ideology, each repeatedly proven to fail, either through collapse and migration, cultural suicide, or just by being killed off by somebody else who has had enough of their shit.
And there sits Haiti, all on its own: 206 years go by with minimal attention since they freed themselves and killed all the people who could help them birth a new-beginning-phoenix from the fire-of-revolution. I’m surprised agents of Islam didn’t try to establish a foothold there by exploiting the western indifference to their poverty, as they have in Rwanda and in Western democratic prisons. Perhaps the ruthlessness of the gang culture, which has inevitably developed, has prevented such religious incursions in Haiti that are based solely on faith with just more violence?
Actually, I’m not too surprised. Hezbollah made the news last year through their drug activity in Mexico, and although drugs are taboo in Islam, it’s OK to use them as long as you do it to defeat the Infidel. A bold international move probably funded by the Islamic Oil elite, because who else could afford to fund and arm a religious militia in Lebanon not connected or supported by the majority of its own government or people.
Haiti: Ignored by all?
So why did the Caliphate miss Haiti? For the same reasons the West has allowed Haiti to become what it is now. Nobody cares, and the 0.04% of the population which are Muslim, even if they were well off, Muslims are commanded to provide their version of charity, “Zakat”, only to other Muslims. It should be noted that this hasn’t stopped Muslim organizations in the West from donating for Haiti, or Morocco, of which a good portion of Haiti’s Muslim immigration came from, a 1 Million dollar donation. All the island has produced of note are mangoes, coffee and immigrants who aspired to make a better life for themselves, including my Governor General, and one priest who became President, but was ousted, as some would have you believe, through US back channel intervention. The latter I heard personally as a belief from a Haitian cab driver. In December, the very desperate people of Haiti marched through their (if you can call them such) streets, and rallied for Jean-Bertrand Aristide to come back and save them from their social calamity. Ever clinging to the hope of liberation, and so the slave mentality continues…
As learned helplessness is the norm in the devout regions of Dar al-Islam, for Allah will provide, and besides, who has time to do any real work ‘cause you have to pray five times per day, and the women can do the work, even though they’re not allowed an education by the deepest fundamental believers, not even attending madrasas, ‘cause those are for men, who are the ruling class. Sir Winston Churchill has the best quote about this used here. Therefore the illiterate, sheet-covered, uneducated women will carry the social burden until the men tire of them and dispose of them willy-nilly through Hadith-inspired Quranic clauses; the Slave to Allah/Paternal family system of Islam is expected through ideological doctrine. Within Islam, all are slaves to Allah, the religion of submission, and his chosen are the men who embrace it; and all else are either Kuffars to be put to death, pay the Jizya to avoid death, become slaves, or if you’re the lucky woman, a “right hand possession”, i.e. a slave.
But why the rant about Islam? In Islam, slavery is the norm and is ideologically sanctioned and still practiced on our planet in spite of it being outlawed by the UN and universal common sense. The inherent slave mentality of the Haitians and the religious abstract in Islam which begets the allowance of slaves today are dichotomies. This is a rich social resource the West needs to exploit before it becomes contaminated with Socialism, or Islamic fascism. I say “exploit” because that is what the West does, correct me if I’m wrong, when all left wing communist-socialist-multi-culturalist-politically-correct-Christian-based-mores-hating (I could go on and add Climategate apologists, PETA tofu pie flinging freaks who would have been shot in progress in the US in the commission of an assault if they’d tried a stunt like that on an Minister, and our very own Canadian Arab Federation and their friendly cohorts, the Canadian Islamic Congress) have at one time or another accused Canada (or the Government) of exploiting someone or something for a cause that has conflicted with their own belief. A belief which still tries to pursue libel action if any perceived offense can be construed. So as we exploit Haiti with humanitarian aid (sarc), we shouldn’t stop until their kids have schools, that those who govern do so fairly, and that the country can maintain its own internal security. After that, we can exploit our success by pointing to Haiti as a model of how a people untainted by a Religion of Peace can bounce back faster than building a modern city in the Arabian Desert using poorly paid foreign workers, exploiting their poverty to enrich the super-wealthy Arabs; again another glowing example of the application of the ROP.
Haiti compared to Afghanistan
Unlike Dar al-Islam, whereupon such abject poverty and the right to claim learned helplessness and poverty as an excuse to keep the evolution of communal politics at bay (and the ideological excuse to use violence to keep such progress at bay), Haitians have strived for, held elections, and managed a semblance of democracy; not because it has been enforced under duress, but because their belief in a better world based on Christian morals demand it. Very unlike in Afghanistan, the Haitians still strive for progress and change because they are not held back by an ideology that would reject help to make things better, regardless of a benefactor’s ideological background: Israel’s field hospital operated for ten days, quoted as “a drop of hope in a sea of desperation”, and made the absence of other countries more conspicuous.
Two hundred years in the making, Ayiti, which in its fire of slave rebellion created a cycle of misery that still has roots today, has become the focus or the newest symbol of what the West, we Kuffars and non-believers, stand for. We need to find the Christian ability to help our own hemispheric and global Haitian neighbours, who have been annexed through globalization, and help them to stand on their own so they can truly become part of the global Western and Democratic society. This is in spite of our being too busy in an Islamic sinkhole: an effort-sucking vortex, eating Infidel resources until we leave, after which another victory will be claimed in the name of Allah against Dar al-Harb, what we in the west are known as, which if you don’t already know translates to “State of War”. And as all victories recruit more Jihadists to the cause, Islam’s War on our way of life will continue. And if we appease the Jihadists and trust them with governance, as Gen McChrystal has been considering with the Taliban, this will produce yet another victory in the name of Allah. If NATO follows this course, then we Kuffars deserve the hell and the conversion to Islam our ideological enemies wish to bestow upon us.
Slavery gave birth to Haiti 200 years ago, and ideological submission with sanctioned slavery gave birth to Islam 1377 years ago with the continuation of Islam after Moe’s death in March of 632. In non-Muslim nations, complete legislated freedom from slavery has become the norm, but wherever Islam has a legal grasp, such as through Sharia, slavery exists.
Haiti can be fixed; Islam not so much
After 200 years of near ignorance by the West of Haiti’s backwater politics and poverty plight, not once has a successfully ideologically-driven Haitian decided that slavery was a socially acceptable hierarchical method of social strata. Once free, a slave’s endemic memory should never allow the same bonds to occur again, even through the worst of desperation; in fact, criminality and the deadly sanctions thereof are much more accepted than a reversion to the compliance of an absolute master. In spite of culturally-driven taboos and assumptions about the Haitians’ own interpretation of “Western Magic”, it pales in comparison to Islam’s complete dismissal of our philosophy towards Magna Carta rights, self determination, and freedom. Hugh Fitzgerald of Jihad Watch gives an excellent analysis here.
The West can fix Haiti, and one thought is to have France pay for it; but it can’t fix Islam. The trouble is TPTB think they can fix Afghanistan, which is part of Islam, because of their relativistic approach toward it by treating it as an acceptable culture based on western standards. The TROUBLE is TPTB don’t understand the difference between the globally strategic War of Infinity Islam is waging on Earth. Just like the Cold War of the Soviet Satellite states and Western NATO nations, it has become a global game of which nations Islam will be allowed to control (poor, mostly Middle East, Asian, North African) and those they can conquer through a soft Jihad by immigration, or outright war, spelled out in thick colouring crayon so that the TPTB finally clue in.
UPDATE: I spoke too soon.
No sooner had I sent this to Natasha for posting, than the blog site “creeping sharia” posted evidence of a charity front for the Islamic Brotherhood, the AMANA or IMANA (Islamic Medical Association of North America), which was identified by the Brotherhood as friends “who shared the common goal of destroying America and turning it into a Muslim nation.” It seems the Caliphate does have designs on Haiti after all.

Bill and Mitch,
Back in December, I posted a comment here at M&S giving the only real response that would work, but there’s no way in hell you’d get any civilized modern Western military to carry it out. An Islamic inspired military force, well, lets just say I wouldn’t put it past them. In Islam, life is cheap, which is one of the reasons that cult practices polygamy. I do not, in anyway, believe genocide is a proper response to any threat, regardless of the fact that Islam’s doctrine preaches exactly that for all who do not follow the path of the Prophet.
Short term, more will have to die – long term – more will still die. Common denominator: Islam.
Haiti wastes away like most of the ex colonial basket case nations in Africa – and for all the same reasons. The main exploiters in the west (IMF/World bank and their predacessors) see nothing of value in them. The valuable minerals were largely mined out in the mid 19th century. Diamonds and gold were vacuumed out under colonial occupation and with that wealth mostly gone there is nothing to interest modern exploitive interventionism in these nations perennial wretchedness.
Afghanistan OTOH has the 2 big Os – oil and opium. Petro dollar potential is moderate but Opium is a renewable resource worth 10s of billions a year. The big risk buck will finance “stabilization” efforts in the hope a populist democratic government will take hold and develop their nation with by selling these resources to make loans from an IMF-affiliated central bank. Looking at the civil and social evolution of Afghanis, expecting stabilization and productivity within a decade is unlikely. The big investment money may cut and run to better emergent resource exploitation opportunity in the Asia pacific and India.
From where I sit it seems the Independent Afghan war lords still control the opium markets/trade to the ongoing detriment of “stabilization”.
I have always had a neutral attitude on the Afghan war. I see no net benefit to Canada and the state of evolution of the Afghani civil culture is unworthy of the sacrifices our troops make to help it evolve. I don’t think what has been accomplished to date was worth the cost in Canadian lives.
The only thing that makes sense of the sacrifice CAF has made, at this time, is a decisive victory – and I think that unlikely due to the climate of international politics and the anti-commitment politics at play back home.
As a Canadian my thoughts, prayers and support is with our troops and the families who lost a member to this conflict. My greatest fear is their sacrifice will be repaid with a politically motivated pull-out before the mission is finished.
I’ve been to that modern city in the arabian desert built by cheap imported labour from india and pakistan, and a few other ports of call in that area, back when GWB was in his first term and the rubble was still being cleaned up in New York.
They would have you believe that it’s the “icing on the cake”, but really the modern portions are just the thin layer of veneer covering the sawdust and glue pressboard that the rest of that society is really constructed from.
“So as we exploit Haiti with humanitarian aid (sarc), we shouldn’t stop until their kids have schools, that those who govern do so fairly, and that the country can maintain its own internal security.” It sounds good in theory, but I don’t think that WE have the parts to do this, as it would require commitment and perserverance far beyond anything that we have so far shown that we are capable of.
You may be right about the future in Haiti, in fact I hope that you are, but our track record on the international stage does not inspire any confidence.
And like you, submission is not in my nature, so I won’t be on my knees 5 times a day facing mecca anytime soon.
Canada hu akbar!
If NATO follows this course, then we Kuffars deserve the hell and the conversion to Islam our ideological enemies wish to bestow upon us.
To bargain with the Taliban is certainly a deal with the devil — it is so utterly stupid, and I wonder that our society seems to have learned nothing from WW2 and the appeasement of Hitler. But I’ve already made up my mind that whatever happens, I will never wear one of their “filthy rags” unless it’s in my casket.
