In case anyone was confused by this tragic New York Whore Times account of "peaceful" demonstrators "singing" lovely freedom songs in Creole, only to be shot by savage supporters of Aristide, I offer an alternative account, which can be obtained by reading 2 or 3 news articles (from last month, before the coup became official U.S. policy) and then thinking for about two minutes.

(See The Black Commentator piece for an array of links to mainstream press articles describing Chamblain and Phillipe as the criminals that they are, and explaining that the "gangs" of Aristide supporters--unlike the criminal "gangs" or death-squads lead by Chamblain and trained by America--are actually masses of otherwise silent slum-dwellers who have had, apart from Aristide, absolutely no voice whatsoever in Haitian politics, even though they constitute the majority of the Haitian population.)

So, here is a translation of today's article about the massacre of the innocent and peaceful black demonstrators, singing freedom songs like they did in the days of Martin Luther King: "minority of wealthy Aristide-haters and U.S.-backed gang-leaders escorted from rich Port-Au-Prince suburb to center of town, where they are seen, from within unspeakably squalid slums, by destitute and despairing people who know they are about to be ruthlessly silenced and/or killed by U.S.-backed dictatorial power; some of these soon-to-be-victims, numbering in the hundreds of thousands and living in downtown Port-Au-Prince, see the relatively small parade of suburbanites and tanks, and, in a helpless rage, fire on the forces that have disenfranchised them and destroyed their democracy, killing five."
