I have a hard time believing any elections in Haiti in its current state are without overt outside influence. I'd just like to hear good news about Haiti once in a while. Signs that things are getting better.

1. A couple of weeks ago, I saw some AJ footage of Haiti
that showed hand lettered signs calling out Hillary Clinton on this farce of an election.

2. Yea I saw that...the whole thing is fake let's be honest
Most of the people in Haiti still support the Lavalas Party (that wasn't allowed on the ballot) and Aristide.

4. SEVENY-FIVE PERCENT of Haitians DIDN'T VOTE in the first round of this election
because the MAJORITY party--Aristide's party--wasn't permitted on the ballot. The U.S. State Department then RIGGED the recount to favor a candidate whose platform is "capitalism with a smile."

Outrageous U.S. bullshit going on in Haiti.
