[Campaignforrealdemocracy] Haiti Parable

[Mark Barrett]

"It doesn't have to be this way. This is not the will of the people, in the
US or Europe: on the contrary, ordinary citizens are horrified when the
propaganda is stripped away and they see the truth. It only happens because
a tiny wealthy elite dominates our foreign policy, and uses it to serve
their purposes – low wages and control of other people's economies and
resources. The people of Haiti, who have nothing, were bold and brave enough
to campaign and organize to take power back from their undemocratic elites.
Are we?"
