PAUL EDWARDS—As little as Americans know of how their country works today, they know less, nearly nothing, of their actual history, and that which is known they seek, in great numbers, to ban as a serious threat to their self-esteem. In the early 20th century, America—pre-empire—bullied, beat up, and brutalized the whole Caribbean until it made all those islands and small nations into the money pits of Capitalist masters. United Fruit owned whole countries, as did various oil and sugar barons and big banking hyenas.
Of all those ripped-off and looted states, none was more grossly violated than Haiti because its people were black, therefore meat for lynching by our sanctimonious racist hypocrites. Marines made it into a whorehouse and grab-bag for our Capitalist brutes and blackjacked it into submission, ceding it to vicious, depraved Papa Doc and his Tonton Macoutes, as CEO for white financial pirates.
