The IMF’s austerity policies and the puppet government that the United States and the United Nations imposed have been the targets of nine weeks of nonstop demonstrations by the people of Haiti. However, the corporate media, American politicians, and many foreign leaders have consigned the demonstration of popular dissent to the realm of criminal conduct. This has been done mainly by associating the popular protests with the gang activity that has taken root upon haitian society. The article seeks to express caution to the multipolar UN functionaries and observers of Caribbean politics alike and point to quite disturbing Hybrid War terror synchronizations between the CoreGroup, the haitian neocolonial administration political and economic elites, and the gang activity.

On October 17 and 19, the United Nations Security Council met but decided to postpone the hearing on Haiti without voting. There are two resolutions on the table, which the United States and Mexico support. The first one would seek to establish a structure for imposing financial sanctions on Haitian gangs and those who finance and arm them with Grade A weapons. The second resolution would involve the deployment of an armed force to help Haiti’s national police regain control of the country’s main oil terminal, Varreaux, and other critical areas such as seaports and major roads. The draft sanctions resolution was circulated to members prior to the meeting. According to UN procedures, if no one objects within a certain period of time, it will be approved. The troop deployment resolution, on the other hand, could face a more uphill battle, even though both the Haitian government and U.N. Secretary-General António Guterres have called on the international community to intervene forcefully.

There is disagreement on the UNSC as to how to proceed on the Haitian situation as it is not as simple and clear cut as it may seem to the casual observer to know who is who and what the different factions want and which are working together. Under this very real fog of Hybrid War it is quite prudent for the UNSC members – specially Russia and China – to be cautious on whether to provide the sort of international assistance asked by certain international actors like US Canada and France – the three main culprits of Haiti’s bondage – that have in turned recruited many other nations of the Americas to join their neocolonial designs.

While Security Council members were unanimous in their condemnation of the gang violence, some wisely expressed reservations about sending troops. While Mexico and the US have publicly expressed support for both proposals, and some others have been hesitant, expressing concern about the possible negative effects of UN sanctions and interference in a country’s internal affairs. The U.N. Security Council is to vote on October 21 on a resolution that would impose sanctions on a gang leader, a mere symptom of the underlying problem, while leaving the neocolonial infection fester.

Under the pretense of protecting residents from gangs, the military of the United States and Canada is already present in Port au Prince, to supposedly help confront the armed gangs that continue to block fuel shipments after weeks but in reality, they are rehashing historic strategies to manage their imperial dominance over Haiti against the wishes of its people once more sparked over the prices of fuel.  Haiti is already under a foreign occupation fronted by collaborators of the haitian political and economic elite, who execute the logistics of the CoreGroup who don’t even want a semblance of a state serving the haitian people. It’s quite a similar script when one compares these facts with historical precedent. The gang members are former police trained to replace the peacekeepers.

As neocolonial administrators in Haiti, the bourgeoisie includes both local partners, descendants of mulattos and freedmen, as well as an imported bourgeoisie of nationals from the US and Middle Eastern and European countries such as Reginald Boulos, Sherif Abdallah, Reynold Deeb of the Deka Group, Andy Apaid, Dimitri Craan, Gilbert Bigio, and Handal. Members of the bourgeoisie pour large sums of money into candidate campaigns, thereby controlling the political environment and favoring people involved in criminal activity and corruption. As a result, they can be involved in smuggling, corruption, illegal weapons trafficking, crime, drug dealing, and kidnapping.

There are historical precedents in Haiti of an obscure nature concerning the US-French-Canadian rule of the country via hollow puppet regimes and the NGO industrial complex. Firstly the continuous occupations and secondly the appearance of pseudo revolutionary groups and gangs – two seemingly independent phenomena – that are promulgated as the authentic voices of the protests and of the sovereignty of Haiti by the Mainstream media and Alternative Media alike.

Now these claims by their very nature of these unfathomable terroristic conjurations is hard to prove – much like initially the US/EU backing of ISIS/Daesh was – for the phenomenon itself makes it difficult to gather the whole necessary evidence of any alliances between the gangs and the ruling Core Group’s puppet neocolonial administrators. As it is with these sort of complex intense Hybrid Warfare, terrorists and Infowar campaigns they not only seek to confuse and manipulate international audiences but the haitian people themselves about the reality of the gangs.

How it Started

Since Prime Minister Ariel Henry announced an increase in fuel prices on September 11 2022, the situation has deteriorated greatly. The government declared that the cost of a gallon of gasoline would double. But this is not the first time fuel prices are the catalyst in haitian politics. The immediate precursor of the situation would be the 2018 fuel price increase by then president of the country Jovenel Moïse. The sabotage of the petrocaribe scheme that permitted affordable fuel to be sold to the haitian society began this latest chapter. After Venezuelan oil deliveries to Haiti were halted in March 2018, the administration of Jovenel Mose announced an increase in fuel prices. There is widespread belief in the nation that the proceeds of the scheme were stolen by the Haitian elite, whose control over the nation was achieved by two coups d’état against the duly elected President Jean-Bertrand Aristide once in 1991 and once again in 2004.

The fraudulent Jovenel Moïse’s presidency (2017-2021) was itself the result of long list of fraudulent elections under UN occupation (2004-2019), which propped up the semblance of a regime, yet with no actual popular mandate, only supported by the CoreGroup countries, as well as the UN, the OAS and imperialist powers such as the United States, Canada and France and their vassal satellites such as Brazil, as well as Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, Ecuador and Uruguay among many others that with feigned solidarity have lent themselves by choice or by threat to unleash the neocolonial horror in a multilateral way.

Perpetual destabilization is the name of the game

Three significant foreign military interventions have taken place in the Caribbean country since the turn of the 20th century, all of which were coordinated by the US. The history of foreign interference in Haiti’s affairs and the theft of its resources is an ongoing US-Canada-EU project. France and the US have stolen the nation’s assets for over a century now, with France especially going further than that. The US Marines were deployed as an occupying force from 1915 through 1934 where the US has held Haiti under the Golden Billions yoke. The US continued its control by supporting the Duvalier dictatorship for many years from 1957 to 1971 and in the post Duvalier years the US led west along with many vassals both from Europe and Latin America conspired and united to disrupt the Jean Bertrand Aristide government, which by all means was the de facto elected leader of the haitian people. The Heritage foundation, a US think tank based in Washington DC published various articles from the early 1990s until early 2000s which demonstrate that the US led west feared that Haiti was moving in a pro sovereignty direction with president Aristide.

Yet this was denied by a deceitful Hybrid War and regime change operations as stated previously with the first coup in 1991 and the other one in 2004 when the US utilized the UN as a more permanent neocolonial administrator, bypassing sovereignty. The US coups were ultimately followed by a multinational and multilateral occupation force of UN peacekeepers – which lasted until 2019 – who committed atrocities against the population, such as murders and sexual assaults and were used to quell social upheavels against the neocolonial regime. 

The aforementioned United Nations’ peacekeeping deployment, was tarnished by claims of sexual assault against its personnel and troops, in addition to the peacekeepers from Nepal being held accountable for spreading cholera in October 2010 by sewage runoff from their base. The U.N. has now admitted it contributed to the outbreak and that it did not do enough to aid in its eradication, but it has not directly stated it spread the disease. The United Nations refuses to compensate Haiti for the epidemic. Far from stabilizing that Caribbean state located in the east portion of Hispaniola island, it actually led to even more chaos, violence and destabilization that continues to afflict it to this day. Haiti has suffered continuous control over its internal affairs by the CoreGroup, that is comprised of ambassadors from the US, France, Spain, Brazil, Germany, Canada, the EU, and the UN, in addition to delegates from the OAS and UN. After Jovenel Moise was slain in 2021, the CoreGroup selected Ariel Henry, who is now known as Haiti’s president thus haitians have had yet another president imposed upon them after.

Before today’s gangs and the so called rebels of 2004, there was FRAPH, which terrorized Haitians in the early 1990s. This in turn was used to justify the 1994 intervention. FRAPH founder and leader Emmanuel “Toto” Constant. In a very similar fashion to ISIS these gangs – which were created and are controlled by the US –  many believe are funded and armed by the oligarchic families put in charge by historical US imperialism to continue and perpetuate the destabilization of Haiti. The haitian people are then unarmed against two powerful armed groups, the posible incoming UN mercs forces and also the local gangs headed by BBQ Jimmy Cherizier which are in turn funded by the elite neocolonial administrators.

It is not very simple to ascertain which factions / actors truly represent the haitian people and which factions / actors work or are associated and working in practice with other factions. If anything the gangs have proven to play a crucial counterinsurgent role in the context of the ever present possible revolution against the 100 plus years of US Monroe Doctrine Hybrid War that the island has and is currently going through. The massacres occurred in the focal point of anti-government resistance areas. In the well-known neighborhoods, the government exploits the gangs to further its objectives. The government has been utilizing the gangs to quell protests in the districts which are also sites of resistance.

The representatives of the People’s Republic of China and the Russian Federation have to seriously ask themselves how indeed to proceed in this deceitful scenario of neocolonial intrigue and to veto any UN Security Council resolution calling for a UN occupation. For all intents and purposes Haiti is going through a similar societal enslavement akin to what Russian people suffered under the mongol yoke and to what the Chinese people suffered under the century of humiliation, where their state apparatuses were absorbed and corrupted by external powers.

The Haitian people have the right to self-determination yet lack sovereignty and Democratic Security strategies as a result of the recent cycles of violent imperialist rule, which is administered by the Core Group in the upper echelons and under them a class of thug oligarchs who many believe are trafficking weaponry to arm the gangs in order to scare the populace from exercising their democratic rights. Haiti lacks counter-Hybrid Warfare tactics and strategies for defending against such threats and many suspect that anti-criminal gangs campaigns of the past UN mission were just a cover for disguising neo-colonial plundering and killing protesters.

From a multipolar perspective the chinese and russian UNSC functionaries should ask themselves the following questions when considering who is who: will this faction / actors / gang support a truly democratic transition towards new Haitian authorities capable of resisting US-EU pressures, finalize the colonization era while recognizing China’s legitimate government and establishing a relationship with Russia to set up its Democratic Security paradigm in the caribbean nation?
