Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened up 174-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 21,531 on turnover of $6-billion N-T. Taiwan names new reps to St Kitts & Nevis, Thailand The Executive Yuan named new representatives to St. Kitts & Nevis and Thailand yesterday. Edward Tao will be the new ambassador to St. Kitts and Nevis, one of 12 countries which maintains formal diplomatic relations with Taiwan. Tao is a career diplomat who most recent overseas posting was in Brisbane, Australia. He will replace outgoing Ambassador Michael Lin, who took up the post in July 2021. Meanwhile, Peter Lan will be Taiwan's top representative to Thailand. Lan is the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Department of East Asian and Pacific Affairs, and will replace current (目前的) envoy to Thailand, Chang Chun Fu. Lan previously served as ambassador to St. Vincent and the Grenadines from 2021 to 2023. He also served in Indonesia and acted as spokesperson for Taiwan's representative office in Thailan. (AH-CNA) Search for lost boy and rescuer continues The search for a lost boy and his rescuer is continuing of the coast of Taitung's Taimali. Yesterday a boy was swept out to sea while playing in a river, and he still hasn't been found. Also missing is a fisherman, surnamed Chen, who was nearby and jumped in to rescue the boy. Chen managed to grab hold of the boy and tried to swim back to shore, but they were both engulfed (吞噬) by a wave and disappeared, according to witnesses. Rescuers searched for the two last night, unsuccessfully, but paused overnight. The search continues this morning, with firefighters, coast guard, helicopters, and drones all dispatched to help out in the search. Those who know Chen describe him as someone always willing to help out, and say, they're hoping for a miracle. Elon Musk criticizes Republican spending bill Elon Musk has criticized Donald Trump's 'big, beautiful" spending bill, saying it would increase the deficit. The Tesla CEO leads the Department of Government Efficiency, which has been trying to slash (削減) federal spending. Ira Spitzer reports. Colombia Union Strike Blocks Traffic Colombia's unions have begun a 48-hour strike to support a referendum proposed by President Gustavo Petro to let voters to decide whether to overhaul the country's labor laws. The work stoppage that began Wednesday was in response to a direct call from Petro. He has argued that Congress is working against the interest of workers by repeatedly blocking his efforts to reform labor regulations. The referendum, whose questions would include whether workdays should be limited to eight hours, has become the crux (難點,關鍵) of long-running tensions between the executive and legislative branches. In the capital, some workers blocked public bus lanes, impeding the movement of thousands of people. Canada Manitoba Declares Emergency Over Wildfire The Canadian province of Manitoba has declared a province-wide state of emergency over a series of wildfires, and Prime Minister Mark Carney has agreed to send in the military to help. Manitoba's premier says the fires have forced 17-thousand people across several communities to flee. He calls it the largest such exodus (大批人的)退出,離開) in living memory in the province. Canada's wildfire season runs May through September. Its worst-ever wildfire season was in 2023, when fires choked much of North America with dangerous smoke for months. That was the I.C.R.T.

“I had to really sit down and look at the journey, how far I've come, what I was able to accomplish in such a short time in my opinion, and just everything that I went through. It doesn't haunt me. Like I said, I'm a graceful loser. But I'm training and I'm doing the work to make sure that if I'm ever in that position again – we'll see!” My guest for today's episode is Shafiqua Maloney, a name that maybe most track and field fans don't know, but should. At the 2024 Paris Olympics, she made history as the first athlete from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to reach an Olympic final and finish fourth in the women's 800m, but her journey to that starting line was anything but easy. In the past few years, Shafiqua has faced struggles that most athletes never talk about – months of homelessness, the constant battle of pursuing an elite career without a sponsor or financial stability. Yet through it all, she never gave up. With the unwavering support of her mother, her coach, and her faith, she found a way to persevere and it all came together in Paris where she ran 1:57 on the biggest stage in the sport. Today, we talk about how she fought through those times, what it means to represent her country on such a big stage, and what comes next for an athlete determined to keep proving she belongs among the world's best. She'll be one of the headliners for the 2025 Millrose Games on February 8th in New York City. If you're in the area, get your tickets now.

Good afternoon, I'm _____ with today's episode of EZ News. Tai-Ex opening The Tai-Ex opened opened up 56-points this morning from yesterday's close, at 23,276 on turnover of $23-billion N-T. Shares in Taiwan closed higher Wednesday on the back of a rally in the United States overnight, but turnover shrank further as many foreign institutional investors spent Christmas Day off the trading floor. Contract chipmaker TSMC contributed about 80 points to the Taiex's rise, and sent the electronics index higher by 0.62 percent. Taiwan's consular affairs chief named as new envoy to Greece Taiwan's top diplomat in charge of consular affairs has been named as the country's new representative to Greece. Calvin Ho will now fill a post that has been vacant (空缺) for more than six months. Former representative to Greece Sherman Kuo vacated the post after his resignation was approved by the Presidential Office on June 19. The foreign ministry at the time said Kuo resigned for personal reasons. Calvin Ho previously served as the ambassador to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and as an ambassador on home assignment in the foreign ministry's Department of International Cooperation and Economic Affairs … …. before heading the Bureau of Consular Affairs. Ho was responsible for pushing for an online passport renewal application service that will soon complete a four-month trial run before being fully implemented next year. US Trump Suspect Trial Date Pushed Back The trial of man accused of attempting to assassinate Donald Trump has been pushed back. AP correspondent Shelley Adler reports Japan Energy Policy to Bolster Renewables A Japanese government panel has largely supported a draft energy policy calling for bolstering renewables up to half of Japanese electricity needs by 2040. It also recommends maximizing the use of nuclear power to accommodate the growing demand for power in the era of AI while meeting decarbonization targets. The Cabinet is expected to formally approve the plan by March following a period of public consultation (商議). The policy says nuclear energy should account for 20% of Japan's energy supply in 2040, with renewables expanded to 40-50% and coal-fired power reduced to 30-40%.

Canada's Justin Trudeau on brink of resigning, Swiss gov’t removed 16-year-old girl from parents over trans issue, Two by Twos cult involved in child abuse

It's Tuesday, December 17h, A.D. 2024. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 125 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Kevin Swanson Nigerian pastor killed by Muslim extremist On December 6th, another Christian pastor was killed in Nigeria, Africa -- this time in Jalingo, a town in the Taraba State.  A Christian woman was also killed around the same time. Residents report at least a hundred killings in the area since the beginning of the year — as far as those that have been reported. The murders are conducted by Muslim extremists. The top 10 most dangerous nations in the world, according to their murder rates per 100,000 people, are El Salvador, Jamaica, Lesotho, Honduras, Belize, Venezuela, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, South Africa, St. Kitts, and Nigeria. Pray for Christians ministering in these areas today.  Swiss gov't removed 16-year-old girl from parents over trans issue SWISS FATHER: “They've put aside 16 years of absolute commitment to our child and have taken away our child based on the lie that a person can be born in their own body. The story is truly a nightmare.” This Swiss father, along with his wife, featured in that YouTube clip, have lost their daughter by court order. Their crime?  They refused to allow her to try to change her God-given gender.   After appealing to Switzerland's Supreme Court with support from Alliance Defending Freedom, the couple lost the battle. The court ruled that the father and mother must “endorse [the child's] gender transition and enable their child's legal ‘sex change' or face the possibility of criminal charges.” Brazilian currency lost 20% of value The Brazilian real has lost 20% of its value against the U.S. dollar since the election of the socialist, Lula da Silva, in October 2022. Turkey and Mexico's currencies also weakened in 2024. And the American dollar weakened in reference to most other major currencies this year. Canada's Justin Trudeau on brink of resigning Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, a leftist, is on the brink of resigning as his liberal government crumbles around him, reports Canadian Television News.  Trudeau, age 52, is “considering his options as leader,” sources have told the broadcaster, while his Finance Minister Chrystia Freeland quit. Freeland quit on Monday after clashing with Trudeau on issues including how to handle possible U.S. tariffs, dealing a huge blow to an already unpopular government. In a stinging resignation letter, Freeland dismissed Trudeau's push for increased spending as a political gimmick that could hurt Ottawa's ability to deal with the 25 percent import tariffs U.S. President-elect Donald Trump says he will impose. The resignation by Freeland, age 56, who also served as deputy prime minister, is one of the biggest crises Trudeau has faced since taking power in November 2015.  It also leaves him without a key ally when he is on track to lose the next election to Pierre Poilievre, the leader of the Conservative Party of Canada. U.S. 30-year-fixed mortgage rate almost 7% The U.S. 30-year-fixed mortgage rate is scraping 7%, up from 6.2% back in October.  WolfStreet.com estimates that the sale of 4.02 million existing homes this year  is the lowest number since 1995.  Two by Twos cult involved in child abuse A New York Post article addresses an anti-Trinitarian cult called “The Way” or “The Two by Twos” — being investigated by the FBI and other law enforcement organizations for extensive child abuse. An on-line resource called AdvocatesForTheruth.com alleges over 2,000 abuse cases, pointing to 910 unique abusers - 40% of whom were workers.  The cult was formed in 1897 by a Scottish cleric by the name of William Irvine. Mormon cult child abuse Also, as of December 10th of this year,  91 civil lawsuits have been filed in California courts alleging child sexual abuse against Mormon leadership and congregants. The cases involve 20 bishops, 20 elders, 8 missionaries, and 5 high priests, among others.  There are 977 Mormon wards in the Golden State. Keep in mind the cautionary note from Jeremiah 17:9.  “The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked; Who can know it?” Texas Attorney General sues over Abortion Kill Pill The State of Texas -- under the auspices of Attorney General Ken Paxton -- is suing a New York doctor for administering an abortion pill by telehealth to a Texas resident.   This represents one of the first challenges to the shield laws put up by pro-abortion states for doctors who aid in the killing of babies in pro-life states. In response,  New York Attorney General Letitia James issued this statement.  She sad, “Abortion is, and will continue to be, legal and protected in New York. As other states move to attack those who provide or obtain abortion care, New York is proud to be a safe haven for abortion access.” What are these strange drones in the sky? Strange drone sightings have spread from New Jersey into Pennsylvania, New York, Maryland, Connecticut and Ohio.   World Net Daily suggests that the drones are operated by the CIA in order to detect a dirty bomb. And former New Jersey Governor Chris Christie has called for “state police to be able to have the authority to bring those drones down,” and for the Biden administration to tell the nation “what they are doing.”  Appearing on ABC's This Week on Sunday, Christie said this. CHRISTIE: “I've lived in New Jersey my whole life. This is the first time that I've noticed drones over my house. The Biden administration and state authorities have to be more vocal and let people know exactly what they're doing. “They hear about drones being deployed in Ukraine all the time as weapons, and U.S. deploying drones as weapons at times. So, you can see why people are concerned. It's a lack of communication from the government at the federal and state level that's at fault here.” Planned Parenthood killing 20% more babies now Planned Parenthood is killing more babies than ever — a 20% increase over the last 10 years. The business ended the lives of 392,715 babies in the 2022-2023 fiscal year. That's up from 327,166 dead babies ten years earlier. Over the past ten years, Planned Parenthood killed a total of 3.8 million babies, and has taken in a whopping $6.5 billion in taxpayer funding.   Taxpayers provided $700 million to the abortion business during the 2022-2023 fiscal year,  reports LiveAction.org. We pray Psalm 9:19-20 today: “Arise, O Lord, Do not let man prevail; Let the nations be judged in Your sight. Put them in fear, O Lord, that the nations may know themselves to be but men.” Jordan Peterson moving to America And finally, psychologist and media personality Jordan Peterson is moving to the United States for what he describes as a rise of “totalitarianism” in Canada. Peterson referred to rising taxes and a new bill introduced into the Canadian parliament, Bill C-63.  The Canadian Civil Liberties Association has pointed out that the new bill includes the potential of “life imprisonment for any crime or federal offense, if found to be motivated by hate” … to include “spray-painting racist words on a wall.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Tuesday, December 17th, in the year of our Lord 2024. Subscribe by Amazon Music or by iTunes or email to our unique Christian newscast at www.TheWorldview.com.

Le président du Conseil présidentiel de transition, Leslie Voltaire, a lancé un cri d'alarme et demandé de l'aide aux pays de la région lors du sommet de l'Alliance bolivarienne pour les Amériques (Alba). Le n°1 de l'exécutif haïtien est intervenu samedi dans un court message vidéo adressé aux membres de l'Alba, composée du Venezuela, de Cuba, de la Bolivie, du Nicaragua, ainsi que de la Dominique, d'Antigua-et-Barbuda, de Saint-Vincent-et-les Grenadines, de Saint-Kitts-et-Nevis, de Grenade et de Sainte-Lucie. « Nous demandons, a lancé Leslie Voltaire, l'aide de nos frères de l'Alliance bolivarienne pour les Amériques. Une aide pour la sécurité de notre pays, mais aussi une assistance alimentaire. Parce qu'il y a 6 millions d'Haïtiens qui meurent de faim en cette période de Noël. »La situation la plus alarmante concerne les milliers de déplacés internes contraints de fuir leurs maisons à cause de la violence des gangs. Regroupés dans des camps de fortune à Port-au-Prince, ces hommes, femmes et enfants luttent pour leur survie. Se nourrir à sa faim n'est plus un droit fondamental, mais un luxe qu'une grande partie de la population, ne peut plus s'offrir, relate notre correspondant en Haïti, Peterson Luxama. « La situation est incroyable ici, déplore Steeve Fleuranfils, l'un des responsables du camp de fortune installé dans l'ancien local du lycée Marie-Jeanne de Port-au-Prince. Les gens crèvent de faim, ils ne vivent pas. Avant-hier, un enfant fouillait dans les poubelles pour trouver de quoi manger. Quand nous sommes allés sur place, nous l'avons vu se nourrir des téguments d'haricots trouvés dans les ordures. Nous sommes allés à la rencontre de sa mère, elle nous a dit qu'elle aurait fait pareil si la honte ne l'avait pas retenue, car elle a faim aussi. »Selon le dernier rapport du Programme alimentaire mondial (PAM), près de la moitié de la population haïtienne, soit 5,4 millions de personnes, souffre de faim aiguë. Et plus de deux millions d'entre elles se trouvent en situation d'urgence alimentaire, selon la Coordination nationale de la sécurité alimentaire, qui se dit profondément préoccupée par la situation. L'agronome Harmel Cazeau, coordonnateur de cette structure, tire la sonnette d'alarme.« L'ensemble des indicateurs montre que la situation est grave, surtout pour les enfants, les femmes allaitantes et les personnes âgées, déjà en situation de malnutrition. Ils ont dépassé le seuil d'alerte de 10 % fixé par l'OMS. Dans les sites de déplacés, entre 24 % et 25 % des personnes, principalement des enfants, sont en situation de malnutrition. Il faut qu'il y ait des réponses d'urgence pour apporter un soulagement face à cette situation. Une réponse qui s'étende non seulement à court terme, mais aussi à long terme, avec des actions structurantes. Les déplacés dans les camps de fortune doivent figurer parmi les priorités absolues, car cette catégorie de personnes vit dans des conditions presque inhumaines et exécrables. On ne doit pas les négliger ni les laisser sans assistance. »Reportage de Peterson Luxama à retrouver dans son intégralité dans l'édition du jour.Drones : vent de panique aux États-UnisDepuis quelques semaines, de mystérieux drones sont apparus dans le ciel américain, en particulier sur la côte est du pays, dans le Connecticut, à New York, et surtout dans le New Jersey. Tout a commencé à proximité de bâtiments militaires : un membre du personnel a d'abord affirmé avoir aperçu un drone, puis des centaines de personnes ont assuré en avoir vu, à leur tour, dans tout l'État.Des photos, des vidéos circulent sur les réseaux sociaux, et l'affaire prend tellement d'ampleur qu'un aéroport situé au nord de la ville de New York a même dû fermer ses pistes vendredi par mesure de sécurité. Le problème, nous raconte notre correspondante à New York Carrie Nooten, c'est que depuis un mois, les autorités n'arrivent pas à localiser ou identifier ces drones, et que sans information, forcément, les rumeurs les plus folles se font entendre.Il est très difficile pour les Américains de concevoir que l'armée américaine puisse ne pas être au courant. Ça les angoisse, forcément, et ça rend les élus locaux nerveux – le golf de Donald Trump dans le New Jersey est ainsi désormais zone interdite de survol. Et parfois, ce phénomène fait échafauder aux élus des hypothèses sans preuves, comme celle du représentant républicain du New Jersey, Jeff van Drew. « L'Iran, assure-t-il sans avancer le moindre élément à l'appui de son affirmation, a lancé un vaisseau-mère qui contenait ces drones, il y a un mois probablement. »Ce qui n'arrange rien, c'est que l'administration Biden affirme que ces drones ne représentent pas de danger, mais se montre incapable d'en dire plus, à l'image du porte-parole à la Sécurité nationale, John Kirby, pour qui la Maison Blanche « n'a aucune preuve pour le moment que les observations de drones signalées constituent une menace pour la sécurité nationale ou la sécurité publique, ou ont un lien avec l'étranger. »À lire aussiÉtats-Unis : des drones non identifiés créent l'inquiétude, les autorités tentent de rassurerLe département de la Sécurité intérieure et le FBI enquêtent sur ces observations et travaillent en étroite collaboration avec l'État et les forces de l'ordre locales pour fournir des ressources, en utilisant de nombreuses méthodes de détection pour mieux comprendre leur origine, grâce à des technologies de détection électronique très sophistiquées fournies par les autorités fédérales.Les informations sont diverses, mais décrivent pourtant des engins de la taille d'une voiture qui volent pendant plus d'une heure et sont capables de passer en mode furtif, dans le noir total.Le FBI a reçu plus de 5 000 appels de personnes qui en auraient vu – mais seulement une centaine semble crédible. Les autorités fédérales analysent les images partagées ou reçues. Elles les ont croisées aussi avec les plans de vol des avions des environs. Et John Kirby explique que, pour l'instant, il est impossible de confirmer les observations visuelles.« Après examen des images disponibles, il apparaît que bon nombre des observations sont en fait des avions pilotés et exploités légalement. Les garde-côtes américains ont patrouillé le long de l'État du New Jersey et ont confirmé qu'il n'existe aucune preuve d'une quelconque implication de navires côtiers basés à l'étranger. »Ce que révèle surtout toute cette histoire, conclut Carrie Nooten, c'est un décalage de partage de compétences : les autorités locales n'ont pas les moyens technologiques ni les autorisations pour enquêter, et les autorités fédérales manquent de réactivité pour des évènements si locaux et ponctuels.Un phénomène qui dépasse le stade de l'anecdote« On serait tenté d'ignorer tout ça, sauf que plein de théories se baladent et que des millions de personnes pourraient y croire, tacle le Wall Street Journal. C'est le monde dans lequel on vit, nous dit le grand quotidien économique de New York. Et désolé d'insister, mais ça ne vient pas seulement, je cite, des cinglés et des adeptes de la théorie du complot : l'administration Biden a laminé sa crédibilité au point qu'il devient rationnel de ne pas croire ce qu'elle raconte. Souvenez-vous, poursuit le WSJ, du ballon-espion chinois, au début ce n'était rien du tout. Et puis, on a fini par le faire exploser au-dessus de l'Atlantique. Sans parler de cette Maison Blanche qui, pendant des mois, a dissimulé la vérité au sujet de la santé mentale et physique déclinante de Joe Biden. Ou bien du gouvernement pendant la période Covid qui a tenté de censurer les hypothèses alternatives au confinement. Bref, conclut le journal, moins les Américains font confiance aux autorités, plus la panique et les manifestations deviennent possibles. Le gouvernement fédéral devrait préciser avec bien plus de détails au Congrès et à la population ce qu'il se passe vraiment. Car ce dont les Américains ont besoin avant tout, c'est d'un gouvernement digne de confiance. »L'actualité des Outre-mer avec nos confrères de la 1èreTrès peu d'agrumes disponibles pour les grandes tablées des fêtes de fin d'année en Martinique.

However, turnover was reduced as many investors stayed on the sidelines as they were reluctant (不願意,不情願的) to chase prices. Foreign Minister Invites Guatemalan President to Visit Taiwan Foreign Minister Lin Chia-lung has invited Guatemalan President Bernardo Arevalo to visit Taiwan. Lin made the offer at the end of his trip to the country this past weekend. Guatemala was the first stop on Lin's trip to five of Taiwan's Caribbean and Latin American diplomatic allies.

ICC Reports Mongolia for Failure to Arrest Putin A panel of judges at the International Criminal Court has reported Mongolia to the court's oversight organization for failing to arrest Russian President Vladimir Putin when he visited the Asian nation last month. Putin's visit was his first to a member state of the court since it issued an arrest warrant for him last year on war crimes charges, accusing him of personal responsibility for the abductions (綁架) of children from Ukraine. Russia is not a member of the court and the Kremlin has rejected the charges. The court said in a statement that its member states are "duty-bound to arrest and surrender individuals subject to ICC warrants, regardless of official position or nationality.” What the assembly will now do remains unclear. While Putin was in Mongolia, a court said that the organization that is made up of all 124 of the court's member states can “take any measure it deems appropriate.” UN: Greenhouse Gas Emissions Out of Control A new United Nations report suggests that annual greenhouse gas emissions are at an all-time high.

Content warning for discussion of genocide, torture, mutilation, rape, and slavery Hey, Hi, Hello, this is the History Wizard and welcome back for Day 16 of Have a Day w/ The History Wizard. Thank you to everyone who tuned in for Day 15 last week, and especially thank you to everyone who rated and/or reviewed the podcast. I hope you all learned something last week and I hope the same for this week. This week marks the 7th part of our mini series of currently ongoing genocides and humanitarian crises. Episode 2 was on Palestine, Episode 11 was on Congo, episode 12 was on Sudan, episode 13 was on Xinjiang, episode 14 was on Rakhine State, episode 15 was on Tigray, and today's episode will focus on the current situation in Haiti. Today's trip to the Alchemist's Table will look somewhat similar to last weeks. This drink is called Persephone's Wedding. It starts with muddled mint before adding some lavender simple syrup and 2 oz of gin. Strain all that over ice and stir for about 30 seconds before topping with lemonade and garnishing with mint. Starting in 1492 Haiti became one of the first European colonies following Columbus's first voyage across the Atlantic Ocean with the settlement at La Navidad. Haiti would remain under European control until their revolution that ended in 1804. We're glossing pretty heavily over the Haitian Revolution in today's episode because the Haitian Revolution and the subsequent Haitian Massacre will be a later episode on this podcast. Now, just because Haiti was now an independent nation and no longer a French colony didn't mean that the country was free of European influence or control. Spain, Germany, and Britain still had large amounts of economic and political sway in the island nation. This would especially be the case when US President Woodrow Wilson, that racist movie loving fuck, sent the Marines to occupy Port au-Prince. Germany was also heavily invested in the island nation, and while the US wasn't in World War 1 yet, they had severe anxieties over an anti-American, and pro-German, president being installed so they took over the nation, overthrew Vilbrun Guillaume Sam, the then president of Haiti. The Marines declared martial law and severely censored the press. Within weeks, a new pro-U.S. Haitian president, Philippe Sudré Dartiguenave, was installed and a new constitution written that was favorable to the interests of the United States. The constitution (written by future US President Franklin D. Roosevelt) included a clause that allowed, for the first time, foreign ownership of land in Haiti, which was bitterly opposed by the Haitian legislature and citizenry. The US would keep a firm grip on Haitian politics, even after their occupation ended in 1934. Haiti would now enter an even greater period of political instability (which is not to say that US occupation was a good thing, an end of colonial occupation often sees old ethnic tensions flare up and massive violence enacted to dismantle colonial power structures). The president at the end of the occupation, Sténio Vincent was forced to step down under US pressure in 1941 and was replaced by Élie Lescot who served until 1946 when he was overthrown in a military coup d'etat and replaced by Dumarsais Estimé until 1950 when HE was overthrown in a military coup and replaced by the staunchly anti-communist Paul Magloire who was strongly supported by the US. Now despite the massive amounts of political instability that we just discussed, it is about to get worse with the Duvalier dynasty.  In 1956–57 Haiti underwent severe political turmoil; Magloire was forced to resign and leave the country in 1956 and he was followed by four short-lived presidencies. In the September 1957 election François Duvalier was elected President of Haiti. Known as 'Papa Doc' and initially popular, Duvalier remained President until his death in 1971. He advanced black interests in the public sector, where over time, people of color had predominated as the educated urban elite. Not trusting the army, despite his frequent purges of officers deemed disloyal, Duvalier created a private militia known as Tontons Macoutes ("Bogeymen"), which maintained order by terrorizing the populace and political opponents. In 1964 Duvalier proclaimed himself 'President for Life'; an uprising against his rule that year in Jérémie was violently suppressed, with the ringleaders publicly executed and hundreds of mixed-raced citizens in the town killed. The bulk of the educated and professional class began leaving the country, and corruption became widespread. Duvalier sought to create a personality cult, identifying himself with Baron Samedi, one of the loa (or lwa), or spirits, of Haitian Vodou. Despite the well-publicized abuses under his rule, Duvalier's firm anti-Communism earned him the support of the Americans, who furnished the country with aid. This is something you will find about the United States. While they style themselves the land of the free and the home of the brave they're more than willing to finance and support dictators as long as they 1. Oppose communism and 2. Give the US a free hand to control their economy. So it didn't matter to the “Greatest Country on Earth” is Papa Doc was killing mixed race people and all of his political opponents. He was anti-communist and that was good enough. Now there WAS a coup attempt against Duvalier in the first year of his reign (the first of many) led by some of the military officials he had fired. Those men thought that they could come riding back in and that the people, fed up of Papa Doc's growing autocratic tendencies, would rally to them and they would quickly restore the old social order. But Haiti had gone through 4 presidents the year before Papa Doc came into office and while he wasn't the best loved president, he was considered competent (having previous served as Minister of Health) and he was bringing order and stability to the country. So the coup attempters.. There's got to be a better way of saying that, were all killed and their bodies dragged through the streets of Port au-Prince, as if each citizen was a little Achilles dragging Hector around the walls of Troy. Papa Doc, despite the multiple coup attempts, did reign as president for life. He was still President when he died in 1971 and was immediately replaced by his son Jean-Claude Duvalier, nicknamed Baby Doc. Baby Doc assumed the “presidency” at the age of 19, making him the youngest president in world history. Jean-Claude tried to reign back some of the harsher policies of his father, but was still deposed in a popular uprising in 1986 and forced to step down and flee the country. Haiti would then fall under the rule of its military for a brief time and then had a series of bad elections and even more coups. There was a coup in June of 1988, another in September of 1988, and a third one in September of 1991. The US would send troops in under Operation Uphold Democracy to try and bring some stability to Haiti. Though, as is always the case when the US tries to bring free market reforms and “democracy” to a country they did a shitty job of it.  Jean-Bertrand Aristide, who had been elected president in 1990 and had been deposed in the 1991 coup returned to finish out his term, lost in 1995, but was reelected again in the year 2000. He would then be deposed AGAIN in 2004 in another coup d'etat.  One of Aristide's worst decisions while in office was when he outlawed pro-Duvalier militias like the Macoute, but he also ordered the disbandment of the Haitian Army. So the Army disbanded, but never disarmed and just would up forming or joining various militia groups. From 1994 to 2004, a de facto anti-Arisitide insurgency took place in Port-au-Prince, as ex-soldiers attacked the government. In response to the chaos, youth set up self-defense groups, called chimères, which were supported by the police and the government to shore up its position. Receiving de facto state support from Aristide's Fanmi Lavalas party, the youth gangs took control of entire communes and became increasingly independent-minded. U.S. diplomat Daniel Lewis Foote argued, "Aristide started [the gangs] on purpose in the early 1980s, as a voice, as a way to get some power [for ordinary Hatians], [...] and they morphed over the years." Now, the precise nature of the events of the 2004 coup are disputed; some, including Aristide and his bodyguard, Franz Gabriel, stated that he was the victim of a "new coup d'état or modern kidnapping" by U.S. forces. These charges were denied by the US government. As political violence and crime continued to grow, a United Nations Stabilisation Mission (MINUSTAH) was brought in to maintain order. However, MINUSTAH proved controversial, since their periodically heavy-handed approach to maintaining law and order and several instances of abuses, including the alleged sexual abuse of civilians, provoked resentment and distrust among ordinary Haitians. So now Haiti has no standing army, armed militias and gangs fighting on and off in the streets, an UN peacekeeping mission sexually abusing civilians and they're about to be hit with a Magnitude 7 earthquake. On 12 January 2010, at 4:53 pm local time, Haiti was struck by a magnitude-7.0 earthquake. This was the country's most severe earthquake in over 200 years. The earthquake was reported to have left between 160,000 and 300,000 people dead and up to 1.6 million homeless, making it one of the deadliest natural disasters ever recorded. It is also one of the deadliest earthquakes ever recorded. The situation was exacerbated by a subsequent massive cholera outbreak that was triggered when cholera-infected waste from a United Nations peacekeeping station contaminated the country's main river, the Artibonite. In 2017, it was reported that roughly 10,000 Haitians had died and nearly a million had been made ill. After years of denial, the United Nations apologized in 2016, but as of 2017, they have refused to acknowledge fault, thus avoiding financial responsibility. And now, we're at the Haitian Gang War. The Vox journalist Ellen Ioanes summarized the beginnings of the situation quite well: "Haiti has faced serious and compounding crises, including a devastating 2010 earthquake, floods, cholera outbreaks, hurricanes, and corrupt, dictatorial, and incompetent leaders". Gangs stepped into the power vacuum, seizing political power through co-operative politicians and economic control through protection rackets, kidnappings and murders. As of 2022 researchers form the NGO Global Initiative Against Transnational Organized Crime have estimated that there are some 200 gangs in Haiti and that most of them are set up somewhere in Port au-Prince. Sexual violence from members of these gangs is a common crime being committed nearly daily against people from rival gang territories. Rape only became a crime in Haiti in 2005 and abortion is still illegal, so rape victims are legally required to keep those children. Though as we know, making abortion illegal doesn't stop abortions, it just stops safe ones. One of the most powerful gangs in Haiti at this time is, technically, an alliance of gangs, called the G9 alliance is lead by a former police officer named Jimmy Chérizier, nicknamed Barbecue. G9 is based in the capital's communes of Delmas, Pétion-Ville and parts of Carrefour. The G9 alliance includes many former soldiers and policemen in its ranks and was long connected to the PHTK party (which is a Center-Right political party) until distancing itself after Ariel Henry became president. The G9 now portrays itself as a revolutionary organization, and has begun to create a nation-wide alliance network dubbed "G20". Since the coalition was founded, it has been responsible for multiple massacres against civilians and clashes with other rival gangs. From 2020 to 2021, the G9 was responsible for a dozen massacres, in which at least 200 people were killed. The G9 was believed to have had close ties to the government of Moïse, which was accused of large-scale corruption. The coalition members frequently evaded prosecution after the massacres and the clashes. Chérizier stood out in that regard because despite the arrest warrants against him, he continued to move freely and to maintain an active presence on social media with no effective attempts by Haitian government forces to arrest him. The G9 also began attacking neighborhoods in which civilians protested against the president and started clashes against rival gangs with the support of the police. Now, in 2021 Jovenel Moïse, the 43rd president of Haiti was assassinated and then Ariel Henry (who some suspect to be involved in the assassination) served as acting Prime Minister of the country until he stepped down this past April. Henry's removal from power was long sought by the G9 gang alliance. Cherizier had this to say on the issue in March 2024 "If Ariel Henry doesn't resign, if the international community continues to support him, we'll be heading straight for a civil war that will lead to genocide"  "Either Haiti becomes a paradise or a hell for all of us. It's out of the question for a small group of rich people living in big hotels to decide the fate of people living in working-class neighborhoods," he added. Now, while there are over 200 gangs in Haiti at the moment most of them have allied themselves with the G9 alliance, or with the gang alliance that popped up to oppose the G9, known as G-Pep. But also, as of late 2022 an anti-gang bwa kale vigilante movement emerged to attack and kill any gang members. The vigilantes often burned captured gang members alive. Of course, the gangs responded with counter attacks against both the vigilantes and anyone who expressed support of the vigilanties. By mid-2023, the gang war between G9 and G-Pep continued unabated, and the resistance by anti-gang vigilantes also grew in scope. Thousands of people were displaced by the clashes. The severity of the ongoing gang war in Haiti has led to the United Nations Security Council authorizing a one-year deployment of an international force led by Kenya to help the Haitian government deal with the crisis. Chérizier declared that G9 would resist if an international intervention force committed "human rights abuses" and claimed that it would "be a fight of the Haitian people to save the dignity of our country." Despite the horrors he is committing against his own people Cherizier really and truly believes that he is fighting on behalf of a free Haiti. There isn't a genocide in Haiti, as of yet, but there is a massive civil war between militias and gangs with human rights abuses on all sides of this conflict. On 18 June 2024, the International Organization for Migration reported that more than 580,000 people have been displaced by the increased violence in Haiti since March of 2024. The report also warned that since most of the people displaced have been from communities already struggling with poor social conditions, there may be more tension and violence in the coming days. An international policing force, known as Multinational Security Support Mission in Haiti was authorized under UN Resolution 2699 on October 2, 2023 to assist the Haitian National Police in stopping this gang war. Nations who will be taking place in this mission include Antigua and Barbuda, Bangladesh, Barbados, Benin, Chad, Guyana, Grenada, Saint Lucia, Dominica, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Jamaica, Kenya, Suriname, and the Bahamas. The first deployment of 400 troops from Kenya has officially put boots on the ground as of June 25, 2024.  This ongoing gang war will not be resolved anytime soon and it can, and will, get worse before it gets better. Haiti has never had a chance to build a stable society or government. A long and ongoing history of foreign interference, ceaseless coups and natural disasters mean that Haiti has always been on the back foot. We also have to take into account Haiti's natural resources, because that's the only reason any imperial power would ever care about Haiti. According to WorldAtlas.com, recent findings suggest that Haiti might have some of the largest oil reserves in the world, potentially larger than those of Venezuela. The country is estimated to be sitting on about 159 billion cubic feet of natural gas and 142 million barrels of oil, with undiscovered reserves possibly holding up to 941 million barrels of crude oil and about 1.2 trillion cubic feet of natural gas. According the the State Department the US doesn't currently have plans to send troops to Haiti. I'm sure that will change. That's it for this week folks.

Today's Headlines: The Supreme Court has undermined the Chevron deference, a precedent that allowed federal agencies to enact rules in their areas of expertise. This decision could impact regulations on clean air, water, vehicle safety, emissions, anti-discrimination protections, and consumer rights, shifting power to the judiciary and hindering law enforcement. This ruling is particularly significant as it aligns with Donald Trump's Project 2025 agenda to dismantle the administrative state and favor corporate interests. In another ruling, the Supreme Court favored January 6th rioters by dismissing obstruction charges related to their attempt to stop the 2020 election certification. This decision could affect Donald Trump's own obstruction charges in his criminal indictment. Additionally, the Supreme Court extended its term to decide on Trump's immunity claim regarding election interference. The decision, expected soon, could delay trial proceedings past the election. The Court also upheld an Oregon ban on unhoused individuals sleeping in public spaces, ruling it does not violate the 8th amendment's prohibition against cruel and unusual punishment. Meanwhile, Steve Bannon is set to begin a four-month prison sentence for contempt of Congress after the Supreme Court refused to hear his case.On the international front, France's far-right National Rally party, led by Marine Le Pen, is leading in first-round voting, with President Macron's centrist party potentially finishing third behind a new left-wing coalition.
