The Real Haiti Plan

     It was impressive to see the world mobilize as an earthquake destroyed a fragile Port-au-Prince in Haiti. Citizens of the United States donated goods as well as money to the cause of rebuilding Haiti. Once the U. S. military and developers became involved the real plan for Haiti began to gain clarity. The U. S. wants to turn Haiti into a 21st century play place for their wealthy elite.

     The wealthy elite of the U. S. have been looking for a great resort island every since Castro took Cuba from them. They need a place where anything goes. Most of all these elite want a space where they are in complete control. With the world media more developed and open eyes everywhere via small recording devices, it is difficult for the U. S. to just take an island. The world community will no longer allow Washington DC to invade countries while claiming to be purveyors of freedom. However, if the U. S. were asked to come in and rescue some island close to us from collapse, then it is an invitation, not an invasion. Of course the U. S. would be happy to send thousands of troops to secure the streets. To take control of the airport.
     The first phase of the plan is complete. The U. S. has convinced the Haitian Prime Minister to declare martial law. We even loaned him our troops under our control. Now Haiti is occupied. The second phase of the plan is to coax the professional class out of Haiti to the U. S. with money and prestige. Obama has opened the door to a certain amount of Haitians to come to America to work. Who says a president cannot create jobs. The third phase of the plan is to kick out the socially conscious countries that are helping the Haitian people. The master stroke will be when U. S. developers come in to build resorts all across Haiti. Those poor Haitians that were unemployed before the earthquake will be locked into $3 a day jobs serving U. S. visitors. The U. S. will then turn to other struggling Caribbean countries and offer to duplicate the Haiti plan.
     Haiti will become the paradise island of the 21st century. The United States tourists will visit. The impoverished Haitians will serve. All will be happy. Obama will be known as a modern Andrew Jackson, an expansionist president.

What Martin Meant to Me

     Martin Luther king Jr. is often quoted by intellectuals for a variety of reasons. With a figure like King all one writer can do is to explain how they are influenced by him. King means so much to me that I would need a whole book to explain it all, so I will discuss just a couple of the examples that King set for me. King teaches me to persevere and to make new paths.


     King decided to embrace the greater principles of God and humanity – Justice, Freedom, Peace, and Empathy. He walked with those principles all of his life. King continues to fight for those principles even from beyond the grave. When King died he was not liked because he was against the Vietnam War, while his inner circle wanted to live comfortable. King died like so many prophets of God-alone. Sure there were people around him physically, but he stood way out front in many ways. At times we who hold those same principles feel like giving up, we can look to King for support. These days, King is often the only encouragement that we have.

     One of the most important lessons that King teaches often goes overlooked. Sometimes we have to create a new path when we are pursuing a path with great principles. The powers that be will often close off paths for upright people. King was abandoned by the black church, so he created the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC). When we find ourselves without an institution that will support our efforts, we should create our own.

     King carried his cross until the end of his days in this realm of existence. I hope that those of us who are courageous today will continue to be courageous until the end of our time.

What is Your Record

     The person in charge of closing a public high school stood before the community to tell them that the school was closing, it is final, and that we were not there to discuss saving the school. The parents asked this woman where their children would go to school. The person said that the children would have a chance to apply to the new school due to open in place of the old one. The parents grew frustrated because they were confused about what the new demands on their children would be. From this point in time, until further notice, the children will be judged on their records.
     For the last decade or so public school children were able to go to any school they wanted as long as they were within a certain age range. The child could have a failing grade point average. The child could have a list of negative behavioral incidents. Some the children could barely read and write, yet the public schools had to take those children.
     The days of the public school with the open door are over. From now on a child will have to take a specialty examination or be interviewed by a panel before they are admitted into a school. if a child is not at the proper intellectual level, they may be out of luck. At that point the children are at the mercy of the system. Parents have to run around and beg schools to take their child in, even if that school is across the city.
     The old saying goes, you are what your record says you are. I have seen the abilities of many public school children up close. Good luck to all you parents, you will need it.

Disappearing Prince


Obama, where have you gone?
You were hope personified
The service seems all but done

Did they whisper grand ideas
Or shout a wall between us
Like “sir think of your career”

You enclosed yourself with rogues
With no loyalty to land
Humane acts are not in vogue

Our prince of what could have been
We’ll miss the almost movement
A mission heard, never seen

The Wake Up Game

As a child we played a game called Gil. If someone would say something that did not make sense, we would put our hand on the back of that person’s neck. Everyone in the vicinity would know who said something stupid. If only we had a game like that today for adults. Instead of touching the back of the neck, we should punch each other in the forehead for making stupid statements. We could call it the wake up game.


“What is my child supposed to do when you close his school?”
PUNCH IN THE FOREHEAD

“That hole has been there for months and the super won’t fix it, so I don’t know how long it will be there.”
PUNCH IN THE FOREHEAD

“Black people need to stick together and support each other. Ooh! There’s a sale at Macys.”
PUNCH IN THE FOREHEAD

“How could my child not know how to read when they got A’s and B’s in school.”
PUNCH IN THE FOREHEAD

“I’m voting for the business man because we need something different.”
PUNCH IN THE FOREHEAD

My boyfriend lies to me all the time, but I love him though.”
PUNCH IN THE FOREHEAD

The wake up game would be sensational. Of course I am not violent enough to ever hit anyone, so we will have to bear with the stupidity a while longer.

Destroyed Before They Start

A child psychology course taught that electric sparks are flying across the area that eventually becomes the brain about six weeks into the pregnancy. That fact shot through me like a rod of lightning. This meant that the environment of a child is affecting it before the mother is even sure of what is happening. In America the lives of so many people are destroyed before they even begin.


The stresses on a pregnant woman in the states is amazing. The typical pregnant woman does not have a stable relationship with a partner, let alone a legal one. Poverty is at an all time high in real terms, which means that pregnant women may not be consuming the proper nutrients. Women do not have any rights in terms of job security while they are pregnant. Most women do not read aloud or play complex music such as jazz or classical while the child is in the womb, leaving the baby with little mental stimulation. So many women in the U. S. have two options, terminate the pregnancy or struggle through. Struggle often means the child will die at some other time before reaching adulthood.

The ray of sunshine in this essay is that the solution for many of these problems are simple. Women should draw support from whatever family, friends, and neighbors are willing to help. If the parents cannot read, they can always get books in audio format. As far as food goes we still have the Women Infant & Children program WIC.

The lives of our future everything are often destroyed before they have a starting chance. The U. S. has not been a kind place to children, but with a few minor changes we can shift the direction of our society.
