"Clinton
Cash" exposes the Clintons as
outright criminals who ripped off Haiti after the massive
2010 earthquake
The island nation of Haiti needs to change
its legislation to make it more difficult for people to
financially exploit their country. The former President of
Haiti, Francois Duvalier, misappropriated millions of
dollars in state funds living lavishly on the people's
money. When his son, Jean-Claude Duvalier became President
of Haiti, he and his wife, Michele Bennett also
misappropriated millions of dollars of state funds.
When Jean-Claude fled Haiti due to an uprising, he and his
wife absconded with state funds. The couple hastily moved to
France and went their separate ways.
Jean-Claude initially lived in a luxury
hotel. However, his bills soon piled up. He fell on hard
times and ended up moving in with a woman who supported him
in her modest flat. However, his ex-wife Bennett and their
children, who are now adults, have been living lavishly off
a reported
$94,000,000 in funds stolen from the Haitian people
(taxpayers). Bennett should be legally forced (compelled) to
turn over all the money to Haiti. The assets she purchased
abroad with state money should also be seized, auctioned and
given to the Haitian people.
In 2010 a catastrophic magnitude 7.0
earthquake decimated much of Haiti's capital Port-au-Prince.
Over 200,000 people died. Many were buried in heartbreaking
mass graves. It has been a humanitarian crisis of terrible
proportions. The level of human loss and suffering is
incalculable. Many rushed to help Haiti. However, some took
advantage in acts that are cruel and wicked (all of you who
did this, make no mistake, God is going to bring it right
back around to you).
Legislation should be passed through the
proper channels in an effort to repatriate stolen funds and
other assets that belong to the people of Haiti. Further
legislation should be passed to lay out stiff criminal
penalties to those who rip off the nation, to act as a
deterrent and aid in insulating the country from such
problems.

Haitian rapper, Wyclef Jean, raised and
misappropriated $10,000,000 in charity donations
that was meant for the island. The money was donated to
Wyclef's Yele charity that was
recently closed by the state of New Jersey, where he
lives, over impropriety. Wyclef's assets and that of the
charity should have been seized, liquidated and given to the
people of Haiti.
Over $13 billion dollars was donated to
Haiti after the earthquake and was placed into a fund
managed by former U.S. president Bill Clinton and his wife,
current presidential candidate, Hillary Clinton. The money
was for a rebuilding effort, but billions of dollars have
been misappropriated and Haiti's capital still needs to be
rebuilt (see free documentary
'Clinton Cash' for details).
None of the aforementioned incidents over
the past 30 years was fair to Haiti. There are people in
Haiti whose homes were destroyed by the earthquake, with an
estimated 200,000 still living in tent cities. There are
poor and hungry people in Haiti who are suffering, as their
lives were destroyed by the earthquake. All the stolen funds
over the past thirty years, need to be repatriated to Haiti
to rebuild the nation and feed the poor and hungry. Haiti
has high poverty levels and needs the help.

I remembered reading an article years ago
about the late Venezuelan President, Hugo Chavez, that in
addition to building homes locally for the poor of his
nation, he also bought prefabricated homes from other
nations. Since 2011 several hundred thousand homes were
built under Chavez's Great Housing Mission drive, mostly for
low income and poor families. Haiti needs something similar
via a financial and construction drive to help solve the
housing crisis that occurred due to the quake. Haiti also
needs a stronger building code to help withstand natural
disasters.
The Duvaliers squandered so much taxpayer
money and foreign aid, after promising to build Cite Soleil
for the poor. It is apparent the building code on the island
needed revision from then to put the island's buildings on
firmer foundation. Natural disasters happen everywhere.
However, through science and technology some of the damage
can be mitigated.
Just two days ago a magnitude 4.6 earthquake struck the other side of the island Haiti shares with the Dominican Republic. Natural disasters are a fact of life. The world must do its best to build and prepare for them in the safest way possible.
