The United States Makes a ‘Military Base’ Out of Haiti: El Sol de Mexico, Mexico
Jan 27th, 2010 | 8 responses
Much to the consternation of the United States, there are large numbers of people on the Latin American left who are certain that U.S. forces on the ground in the ill-fated country of Haiti are up to no good. So what is their reasoning in making such a charge?
For the El Sol de Mexico, Miguel Angel Ferrer writes in part:
Now, however, under the pretext of “humanitarian aid,” the troops have taken direct control, and according to voices in the Pentagon, CIA and State Department hierarchies, they will remain there for a very long time to come.
The invasion and military occupation of Haiti, with the alleged goal of providing humanitarian assistance, serves two main purposes. The most obvious: to guarantee continuity, now with military force, for the exploitation of natural resources by the former colonizers of that Caribbean nation.
The second purpose is strategic and geopolitical. The prolonged military occupation of Haiti transforms the country into a military base on the Caribbean Sea, with the intent of completing the aggressive encirclement of Cuba and Venezuela.
A militarily occupied Haiti is the perfect complement to the recent resumption of operations by the U.S. Navy’s Fourth Fleet. It’s also the ideal accompaniment to the seven new U.S. military bases in Colombia, approved by the genocidal government of that country’s president, Alvaro Uribe.

Meanwhile, Mexico is being run by drug cartels.
What a load of menudo, Miguel.
El Sol de Mejico and Miguel Angel Ferrer join the select company of French Cooperation Minister Alain Joyandet, Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and Nicaragua’s Daniel Ortega.
At least the Haitians don’t have to rely on Mexico to help them. What a joke that would be.
Maybe if that idiot Benito Juarez hadn’t succeeded in murdering Maximilian of Austria, Mexicans might not be flooding out of their country trying to find a decent life elsewhere due to incompetent leadership.
Damn, they are on to our master plan. After all these years we are finally able have an excuse to get a foothold in Haiti only to have it uncovered by some relentless mexican reporting. When will our foreign ops people catch a break?
LOL
The knee jerk anti-Americanism in Latin America should surprise nobody. A government minister in France has also referred our humanitarian aid as “occupation”. Yea that's the ticket, we are there to plunder Haiti's vast wealth and treasures.
It just goes to show you that no good deed goes unpunished.
I would add that French people are forgetting they had occupied Haïti, and recieved taxes long time after its independence.
