Need I say More?





The fault line in Haiti

My thanks to Lowrie for bringing this up.

"In 1825, in return for recognizing Haitian independence, France demanded indemnity on a staggering scale: 150 million gold francs, five times the country's annual export revenue. The Royal Ordinance was backed up by 12 French warships with 150 cannon.
The terms were non-negotiable. The fledgling nation acceded, since it had little choice. Haiti must pay for its freedom, and pay it did, through the nose, for the next 122 years."

Please take a second to read the rest of the article

The Imperialists (US, France, Britain) should be ashamed of themselves.

What Did He Really Mean?

The diatribe coming out of some people has always amazed me.
Some are so entrenced in their controversal teachings, that they forget their own miniscule place in the big picture.
Let us consider the words coming from Pat Robertson, on the recent earthquake in Haiti.
"They were under the heel of the French. You know, Napoleon III, or whatever. And they got together and swore a pact to the devil. They said, we will serve you if you'll get us free from the French. True story. And so, the devil said, okay it's a deal [...] ever since, they have been cursed by one thing after the other."

Am I to believe that Mr. Robertson has had a personal conversation with the Devil?
Did God appear to Mr. Robertson and give him the whole story, note he says "true story"
Is Mr. Robertson trying to create a nominated place for himself in history and before God or the Devil?

What did he REALLY mean?

A wise man once said that tragedy is not what we
suffer, but what we miss
