Bush accused of supporting Haitian rebels

WASHINGTON, Feb. 27 (UPI) -- Haitian activists Friday accused the Bush administration of covertly supporting opposition forces to oust President Aristide from power.

"The Bush administration is again engaged in regime change by armed aggression," former U.S. attorney general Ramsey Clark said. "This time, the armed aggression is against the administration of the democratically elected president of Haiti."

Activists at a Friday press briefing outlined what they believe to be a well-crafted plan by the Bush administration to overthrow Aristide. Former Haitian military members, drug dealers and militants were armed and trained in the Dominican Republic thanks to military support from the United States. They have now crossed the border into Haiti, activists said.

"It is clear that the rebel forces crossed the Dominican border heavily armed with equipment that even the former Haitian military did not have, which could not have been done without the knowledge of the Dominican army," another participant said. "We also know that the Dominican government would not have allowed this to happen unless it had clearance from the United States government."

1. Yeah. I was listening to this stuff on Democracy Now.

And Black Commentator had a lot to say along these lines.

Someone on Democracy Now was saying we've got the Navy outside of Haiti not so much to sink the refugees, but to intimidate Venezuela.

Tough to tell how much is tinfoil and how much is real, but I can't imagine this administration doing "the right thing."

3. They will reveal more of their dirty intentions if they DO intimidate Vene

and support the opposition forces in a country where Bill Clinton helped their violently deposed President return to office.

_Bush seems to be drunk with a sense our Neo-con seizure of the world will never fail him, and that there is NO WAY he can ever be stopped, no matter how low and how obvious his objectives are.

4. Recording and Spreading this information is necessary,...

,...and there are like, so many more people in this world with this info in their hands.

They are responding, "Unbelievable. Awful. Evil."

Keep tabs, spread the truth,...the truth is our light on these horrors.

6. Nowadays, I always pay attention to what the

Bush administration approves of or disapproves of. Whatever it is, I always go with the opposite. If they disapprove of Aristide, I have to ask myself, "why?".

Power corrupts, and absolute power corrupts absolutely.
