hmmmmmmmmmm .
Everytime we've come to the aid after a natural catastrophy . All support we've given to the international red cross .
Sustainable education of local farmers in many places around the world especially the rainforest .
All Family planning and health services that we have contributed to .
Helping to dig Well's in area's where people had no such source of clean water.
Basically everything We've have done to help people , without a secret profit oppressive motive .
We've done many great things for the world .

|
Maxine Waters has also talked to Aristide.
The story is already out in Australia and in the French press as of yesterday.

18. Charlie Rangel to be on CNN shortly... |
|
...along w/ Mark Fooley.
Fooley (speling correct ;)) has been the mouthpiece for the WH since the crisis began, so I'm not expecting him to support his fellow congresspeople...

"he was abducted under threat of death"
"He's Being held in comunicoto"
"No one can contact him"
"he's able to call out every now and again"

13. Wolfie challenged him |
|
on the use of the word "abducted". Robinson didn't back down.
Expect a rebuttle from the White House soon...or maybe pentagon...Barbara Starr is reporting live from Pentagon on troop movements (Marines being sent in) I'm guessing that she will be trying to track down Robinson's story and will get the non-denial denials from the inside.
The next hour or so will be interesting.

16. What An EXCELLENT Interview!!!! |
|
Robinson BLEW Wolfie out of the water. He was nearly speechless. Wolfie kept saying the the US Government said that Aristede left of his own free will and was escorted to Africa and he had signed a resignation letter. Robinson was like "And you are going to believe the governemtn?" Beautiful. Wolfie continued in monotone saying "but the government says so." What a lying administration we have. And Haiti continues to implode. Sigh.

11. bush regime responded to RR before his airtime was over |
|
right at the end of the broadcast, wolf read a response from the "administration" that said something like "unfortunately, Mr. Robinson's accusations do not reflect reality" or something like that.
What to make of such a rapid respnse by the thugs?

we were surrounding aristede's compound saturday and sunday to protect aristede. Could be the troops threatened to leave and let him be killed if he didn't come with them?

Classic U.S. coup, coupled with covert support of the opposition.

27. WTF!!! CNN's top-of-the-hr news says NOTHING about... |
|
...Aristide's claims (despite Rangel giving Blitzer Aristide's ph #)!!
Calling the rebel's entry into Port-au-Prince a "victory march!"
Showing uniformed police officer pistol-whipping CHILDREN running by him!!!
CNN claims rebels "welcomed" in Port-au-Prince, yet showing only a few hundred "supporters." Just like the "thousands" around the Saddam statue-toppling last April...:eyes:

29. But the spin already being spun is... |
|
...that Aristide was "escorted" out of the country by US military for his safety. Charlie Rangel gave Wolf Blitzer Aristide's ph #, but nothing on CNN yet - wouldn't Blitzer want to interview Aristide live, on the air? Unless, of course, Wolf's "handler" told him not to... :tinfoilhat:
