Haiti Defines Resistance: July 6, 2011 Marks the 6th Anniversary of the UN Assassination of Emmanuel Dred Wilmè
July 6, 2011 marks the si
xth anniversary of the
UN assassination of Emmanuel Dred Wilmè in Haiti, a Haitian freedom fighter that HLLN stood fairly alone in defending and urging not be assassinated by
blan kolon/imperialist
and their Haitian collaborators/subcontractors.
Emmanuel “Dread” Wilmè – on “Wanted poster” of suspects wanted by the Haitian police.
He lasted seventeenth
month after Bush’s 2004 bicentennial coup d’etat in Haiti, as the most
intensely hunted Black man on the planet. Yet, he never attacked anyone,
never left his own home in Site Soley, Haiti or was a threat to US
Security or any nation’s security.
His crime: he would not join in betraying the Haitian masses like the others, like
Labanyè
whom Apaid/Boulos/Baker, US-subcontractors, bought and armed to wreak
havoc on the people of Site Soley and to murder men like Dred Wilmè
because of their stand against IMF/WB neoliberal economics, debt,
dependency and for their support for inclusion, of Lavalas and return of
President Aristide. (
Site Soley after the death of Labanyè. All 34 sectors are united and want peace.)
His murderers went to him, attacked him in his home, killed his
children and held that, as a Black man, who was NOT a member of the
CIA’s FRAPH death squads in Haiti; as a Black man who was not Louis
Jodel Chamblain, or a DEA-suspected drug dealer like Guy Phillip or part
of the thugs and thieves of the Latortue Regime’s Coup d’etat cabal and
the bloody Lame Timanchet, he must die.
On July 6, 2005 at 3:00 am in the morning, 1,000 UN soldiers
surrounded Site Soley, 440 UN soldiers entered this shack-filled space
of sleeping Haitian civilians, fired a total of 22,000 bullets and when
it was over, Dred Wilmè, his children, his family and about 60 others
from Site Soley, mostly unarmed, sleeping civilians were dead.
When Ezili’s HLLN sounded the alarm on these UN killings, reported on
this, US Ambassador James Foley sent a cable to Washington, on July 26,
entitled “Human Rights Groups Dispute Civilian Casualty Numbers from
July 6 MINUSTAH Raid.” In this cable, Foley accused Ezili Dantò
(colonially named Marguerite Laurent, Esq.) of the Haitian Lawyer’s
Leadership Network of taking “the lead on spreading massacre rumors on
the internet…[she] cited conclusions of a San Francisco-based labor and
human rights delegation which claimed video evidence of the massacre.”
Contrary from what we later learned of the UN operations, our HLLN
report in fact understated the amount of firepower that went into the
hunt for one lone Haitian man. (See details at: The Cite Soleil Massacre Declassification Project).
14,000 to 20,000 Haitians were summarily slaughtered from 2004 to
2006 in order for the UN today to appoint UN Envoy Bill Clinton and Paul
Farmer (UN Deputy Envoy to Haiti ) as its faces for “change in Haiti.”
In 1995, Bill Clinton sent 20,000 troops into Haiti, not to return the
people of Haiti to power in Haiti, but to re-image the morally
repugnant economic elites/the Duvalierists into “Civil Society;” not to
disarm the Raoul Cedras’ bloody army or the FRAPH death squads. No.
Haitians like Dred Wilmè, like most of Haiti’s 10-million Black
majority, these issues of the Black women, mothers of all the races,
have no safe refuge, no access to justice, fair play, life, human rights
or freedom.
Jacob Desir died from a UN bullet on June 18, 2009 in cold blood just
as a UN bullet snuffed out the life of Dred Wilmè. Even in Haiti, in
Desalin land for the free, no refuge.
Dred Wilmè sacrificed his own life to help end the neoliberal
globalization that privatize all using the state powers of the post-WWII
victors sitting at the UN Security Council.
Dred Wilmè believed that the people in Haiti were entitled to life,
health care, education, security from bodily injury, adequate shelter,
clean water, non-toxic food and access to a way to the means to share in
the opportunities to raise their standard of living like all rational
human beings.
He raised his voice. He sanely took up arms in self-defense to defend
Haiti’s right to life. He refused to leave the people of Site Soley to
face the wrath of empire alone. Dred Wilmè life is worth acknowledging
this day. (The Crucifixion of Emmanuel “Dred” Wilmè by U.N. Troops: A historical perspective ; Emmanuel Dread Wilme, Haiti’s warrior assassinated by UN/US occupiers on July 6, 2005 ; July 6 – HLLN Links to honor of Dred Wilmè and all the UN victims in Site Soley.)
Like the Ancestors, like so many in Haiti before him, he gave his
life so that his community would survive. Dred Wilmè sacrificed
individual gain, job, family security, power and prestige so that all
Haitians would be treated like human beings by the white settlers in
power now in Haiti.
Haiti needs more Dred Wilmès. The world needs more Dred Wilmès.
For, it is our contention at Ezili’s HLLN that any progressive who
works for the death-plan people, like USAID, UN, WB, IMF or their
pharmaceutical cabals, their agri-business cabals or their corporate
transnational behemoths privatizing personal gain and profit behind
state power, are neither progressives, nor serious about making this
planet more habitable for the human race.
The Ezili Network is a dissenting voice. Give us a 100 right-wing
Republicans to face any day. Keep the namby pamby Democrats or
progressive left selling their constituents out in the name of some
mythical, so-called bipartisanship. They are the worst and most
dangerous enablers of neoliberal globalization masturbating on the
poor’s imposed pain and suffering.
There’s nothing more dangerous, more reprehensible, more hypocritical
than NAFTA-Clinton, Rwanda-Clinton, a StraussKhan-like socialist or
World Bank/USAID/pharmaceutical-Paul Farmer making convenient alliances
ultimately serving up neoliberal NGO benevolence as instrument of world
peace, economic justice or universal healing and fairplay! At least the
righ-wingers admit what they do without apology. They believe in
genocide, depopulating and sterilization (through GMO, vaccines,
food/air/water poisoning) for the greater good and tell you so.
All paradigm changers must gather together and marginalize these
so-called do-gooders and progressive fakes prolonging the world’s
suffering before we can take down the profit-over-people system they
sustain and that’s destroying the earth, all life and maiming our soul.
It’s time to marginalize the do-gooders and replace the
profit-over-people system and all its evil forces with better values.
Some things should be left to a reformed global market place and we
don’t have any problem with wealth based on talent and ruthlessly fair
competition. But there are things, which sustain life that ought to be
community priorities not subject to trade or profit or cost
effectiveness. That which sustains life itself and which one cannot live
without are plainly and irrevocably human rights. Every human on earth
ought to have reasonable access to clean water, non-toxic food,
universal healthcare, authentic education, adequate shelter, bodily
security (community police/firemen – ought not to subject to bodily harm
and violation.)
Anything that does not fit into these life-giving
parameters may be subject to fair trade and limitless private profit.
Any economic, political or cultural system that doesn’t take care of
providing all its citizens with life’s minimum basics like clean water,
non-toxic food, universal healthcare, authentic education, adequate
shelter, community police/firemen is USELESS and need to be re-thought.
On this July 6th day, in remembrance of Dred Wilmè and all in this
world who sacrificed to stop the neoliberal globalization death plan, we
encourage your voice, your dissent. Haitians in UN occupied Haiti,
Haitians in NGO-occupied Haiti like Haitian women and men at immigration
detention centers all over the US need your voice, your advocacy and
dissent. Today, the poor and majority in Haiti, are facing the same guns
and bullets that with extreme depraved indifference, for no reason,
slaughtered the mourner Jacob Desir, as he paid his last respect at the funeral of Father Gerard Jean Juste.
In the six years since the UN assassination of Dred Wilmè, there’s been
no investigation, no indictments. There won’t be any either, for their
2009 killing of Jacob Desir at Father Jean Juste’s funeral.
There’s no one but our own inner source for us Haitians to appeal to
in the death of Dred Wilmè, the disappearance of Lovinksy Pierre
Antoine, the UN slaughter of Jacob Desir, the UN-imported cholera, nor
the 14,000 to 20,000 coup d’etat victims senselessly slaughtered. But
that source is indomitable, unvanquished and eternal. Haiti defines
resistance. Ginen poze.
And though we must struggle, we struggle from within in inviolable
place. We reach for Desalin’s Black to keep from bursting into flames.
I hear the Clintons (working under either the UN “progressive” mask
or the Obama Administration’s “progressive” mask) are today walking on
the graves of Dred Wilmè and the nearly 20,000 Haitians slaughtered,
especially in Site Soley. They’re blithely walking on the grave that
Haiti has become for Desalin’s children.
I hear Bill Clinton is almost finished with opening Haiti to complete
neoliberal privatization. Nearly 20,000 Haitians, including Dred Wilmè,
were slaughtered in the Bush 2004 Haiti regime change, so that in
2011, Mrs. Hillary Clinton could put on hold, the US co-opting of the
important Egyptian dissent, fly down to Haiti to fulfill her husband’s
1994 trajectory, bringing back neoliberal globalization for monopoly
capitalism while making certain that the Duvaliers were firmly placed
back into power with Michel Martelly.
Haiti pays this unendurable price. Dred Wilmè paid with his life to move us towards a more habitable planet.
Today, we re-MEMBER. The life, the struggle, the spirit of Emmanuel
Dred Wilmè lives on even as, on this realm, the vultures continue to
feed off our pain and blood.
Clinton, Farmer, Ban Ki Moon, Obama, UN and most of the NGOs are
“open for business on top of our decomposed dead bodies, on top of our
crushed bones, on top of our intense grief. Open for business on top of
our ground water contaminated by their diseased feces.
They’ve made so
much money. 16-months later they still haven’t stop counting collected
donation profits, anticipating more huge returns. Panting, salivating
for more Haiti crisis, more cholera outbreaks, more back-to-back
hurricanes, more calculated or imposed Haiti instability, more such
business opportunities. They’ve even calculated how much they’ll make
pushing our decomposed dead bodies around to sell the grieving, Clorox
hungry, walking dead Haitians – still living under hurricane-soaked
tarps – more of their aquatabs, antibiotics, foreign vitamins, bottled
water, nitrate-laced fertilizers and Monsanto hybrid seeds.
Open for
business building an oasis on top of an open grave, investing in
remains. Happiness rings loud laughter at the World Bank, totally
orgasmic at the IMF. Rwanda-Clinton says Haiti is open for business,
now. They’re feeding, masturbating on the wretched workers’ pain. Open
for business because we’re drinking their feces. But they don’t see.” –
