The US, France and Canada worked to oust the democratically elected government of Haiti in 2004 in a coup that was purposely cloaked in a so-called domestic rebellion. To this day an uncritical international press, that was itself culpable in hiding the truth behind Aristide’s ouster, continues to parrot ridiculous assertions about the reality behind his overthrow and the intense campaign of political repression against his Lavalas movement. During 2004-2006, thousands of Haitians were murdered by the police, jailed or forced into exile. What emerged was a wholesale campaign of violence waged against Lavalas that was largely maintained through the silence of human rights organizations and the international press. The unfortunate truth is that the police and their operatives in the Haitian state were often aided and abetted; at first, by U.S, Marines, Canadian Special Forces, French Foreign Legion; and later by U.N. forces in Haiti. The ultimate purpose and intent of this violent campaign has been all too clear, to mutilate Lavalas and alter, through violence, Haiti’s political landscape.
Yesterday, December 16, was the 18th anniversary of Haiti’s first free and democratic elections that gave rise to the Lavalas movement which catapulted Aristide into the presidency in 1990. Thousands of Haitians took to the streets throughout the country to commemorate that day and to demand the return of Aristide who now lives in exile in the Republic of South Africa. They also demanded an end to the UN occupation, the release of all Lavalas political prisoners who still remain behind bars, and an end to the rampant profiteering by Haiti’s predatory wealthy elite that has resulted in growing misery and hunger. The event stood as a stark reminder to those policy makers who were behind the coup, and those who continue to maintain order based upon its outcome, that the Lavalas movement in Haiti is far from dead.

Heh. Obama keeps “The Coward McCain” meme going in this interview with Charlie Gibson…
OBAMA: Well, I am surprised that, you know, we’ve been seeing some pretty over-the-top attacks coming out of the McCain campaign over the last several days that he wasn’t willing to say it to my face.
But I guess we’ve got one last debate. So presumably, if he ends up feeling that — that he needs to, he will raise it during the debate.
Puerto Plata. - United States ambassador Robert Fannin yesterday warned that an immense volume of money originating from drug trafficking is laundered in Dominican Republic and urged industrialists to collabrorate with the government in its war against it.
The diplomat affirmed that drugs pose a danger for the tourism industry and the world, for which the country should seek new ways to attack the problem of the demand, “as demonstrated by the fact that narcotics consumption has fallen 24 percent since 2001.”
Fannin made the request in the conference “Opportunities in Commercial Interchange and Investment between the United States and Dominican Republic,” that dictated in the American Chamber of Commerce’s monthly luncheon here, held in the hotel Gran Ventana, Playa Dorada.
The U.S. ambassador said the around two billion doses of cocaine transported through Dominican territory produced much money that has been brought here, where it’s being laundered. “The private sector is in a very good position to help identify and alert the authorities on these activities in this area.”

Alpha Media Group, Inc. (Owner of “Maxim Magazine”). EMI Resorts preparing to file a multi-million dollar breach of contract lawsuit. Lawsuit against Alpha Media Group, Inc. the publisher of Maxim magazine. EMI Resorts will allege that Alpha Media failed to provide marketing and sales support pursuant to the License Agreement.
New York, NY (PRWEB) - EMI Resorts has announced that it is preparing to file a multi-million dollar breach of contract lawsuit in the State of New York against Alpha Media Group, Inc. (court case # 08-CIV.7944 SAS) against the publisher of Maxim magazine.
EMI Resorts spent millions of dollars in customized construction, development, promotion and licensing costs to create and position the “Maxim Bungalows” brand of resorts as one of the premier resorts in the Dominican Republic, pursuant to a License Agreement with the predecessor to Alpha Media. EMI Resorts will allege that Alpha Media failed to provide the marketing and sales support that they were obligated to provide pursuant to the License Agreement. Further, EMI Resorts will allege that Alpha Media breached the License Agreement by purporting to terminate the Agreement without justifiable cause.
Recently, Alpha Media has brought an application in a New York court for a preliminary injunction requiring EMI Resorts to refrain from any further use of the Maxim mark. EMI Resorts completely denies the allegations contained in Alpha Media’s application materials and takes the position that such allegations are completely without merit. In view of Alpha Media’s alleged breach of the parties’ License Agreement, EMI Resorts has discontinued the use of the Maxim brand.

PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad: Swansea City in-form striker Jason Scotland sounded his intentions for a starting place against Guatemala on Saturday, after he scored a hat-trick to guide Trinidad and Tobago to a comfortable 9-0 thrashing of Dominican Republic in a friendly international at the Hasely Crawford Stadium on Wednesday night.
Ace striker Cornell Glen also lodged a hat-trick for the home side in their comfortable warm up victory before their two important CONCACAF matches.
Scotland, who was only drafted to replace the injured Colin Samuels at the weekend, got the hosts off the mark in the 28th minute with a grounder from inside the penalty area.
He got his second three-minutes later and then completed his hat-trick in the 35th minute with another low shot past goalkeeper Miguel Lloyd.
Glen, who replaced Scotland in the second half got his goals, with two coming the 72nd minute.
After rumors surfaced on the Web a few months back that a new version of ebook reader Kindle might be on the way, Amazon.com did its best to shoot them down, saying a new Kindle was not coming this year. Well, Boy Genius Report has gotten ahold of some photos that appear to be the Kindle 2, so we’re curious what Amazon has to say now. From the looks of the new device, Amazon has tried to address some of the criticisms of the Kindle, most of which revolve around its somewhat homely design and a few poorly placed buttons. The shape has been modified to make the new Kindle more attractive, but it appears Amazon is sticking with the same off-white color scheme–for better or worse.
The Boy Genius Report’s mole or “ninja,” has some comments about the new Kindle. First, ninja says the device is basically the same size as the older model, but is thinner and has “a slightly heavier feel, and it feels much sturdier.” The source indicates the new model uses the same cellular EV-DO network for downloads (it’s Sprint’s network in the current model) and a metal back is visible in some of the pictures. I particularly appreciated the look of the new leather carrying pouch for the device since I don’t like the existing Kindle’s protective case. There are more photos here. No word on when the next-generation Kindle will arrive, whether there will be a European model, or how much it will cost.

GEORGETOWN, Guyana: The Caribbean was unready for the negotiations on agriculture under the controversial Economic Partner-ship Agreement (EPA), a senior negotiator said this week at an agriculture conference in Kingstown.
Ambassador Patrick Antoine, a lead negotiator in the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery, said the bloc has lost some opportunities in areas such as transportation.
“Late in the EPA negotiation process, CARICOM (Caribbean Community) was scrambling to respond to the European Union proposals,” Antoine said Tuesday morning during a media roundtable workshop at the Caribbean Week of Agriculture conference in St Vincent and the Grenadines.
“We came to the table in agriculture, truth be told, ill-prepared.”
Antoine said, for example, matters raised by Belize - such as having the issues of subsidies and domestic support addressed - were ignored in the EPA talks.

BRIDGETOWN, Barbados: The Executive Director of the Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export), Phillip Williams, said that his agency, along with the Caribbean Association of Industry and Commerce and the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery, were working towards extensive promotion of the region’s export services.
Williams said that a 23-member business mission recently returned from an encouraging trip to Europe.
The Barbados Advocate reported the Caribbean Export exposed ICT and home and video producers from the region to business opportunities for them in London and Madrid respectively.
Williams said that there would be a follow-up meeting at an EU CARIFORUM business forum in Barbados on November 23 and 24.
There was also mention of ongoing programmes with Trade Facilitation Office Canada to promote health and wellness tourism and handicraft. These types of activities, although critical to export success were costly, Williams said.
The Executive Director added that he was currently in the process of organising a study tour to Ireland to expose senior trade and investment promotion officials to the Irish miracle, which has resulted in sustained success of the Irish economy over the last two decades.
