EPITRE DE FRANTZ
Orlando, Florida
September 14, 2016
Dear fellow citizens, daughters and sons of Dessalines, the Great, the founder of the fatherland, of Toussaint Louverture, the first of the blacks and of Capois La Mort, the most illustrious hero of all centuries, I send you a fraternal greeting , from the bottom of my heart hurt by the lamentable situation in which Haiti is struggling. As a Poet and Meditator, I must intervene, edifying you on the catastrophic economic context which is the source of the chronic crisis of good policy that Haiti is going through. In addition, I would like to inform you of a few words from His Majesty "The Peacock" or Normalism, the School of 2017, whose recommendations you already know, which are key ideas in the plan of his overall vision of the good. to be from Haiti.
This intervention will not fail to help student youth, professionals, the proletariat, the unemployed, etc. to carry out the fight for well-being and well-being and, to start our campaign for the improvement of the knowledge of the Haitian negress as of the Haitian negro that society demands for its safeguard, to fill certain gaps.
Two struggling economic forces
Alas! We have two opposing economic forces competing for power, the market, the resulting wealth and the soil of Haiti.
1804 to the present day. The country is therefore the theater of duel, of rivalry between the two largest social classes, including the bourgeoisie formed, on the one hand, of mulattoes and whites, enjoying the affection of the international community and always prevailing over the governing class; and, on the other hand, the state (middle class), most of which are blacks, suffering from inequities, outrages, persecutions, both from the international community and from the comprador class. By analogy, we can consider the bourgeoisie as a giant and the state as a pygmy.
CATASTROPHIC ECONOMIC CONTEXT
The dominant features of a country, when it moves forward, are a national bourgeoisie, proclaiming, like Baron Joseph Dominique Louis, this injunction: "Give me good politics and I will make you good finances >> failing this, an economic, political and social regime, self-sufficiency, appeal to good policy, Execution of the moral mission of public authorities, adoption by Parliament of the best program, power is entrusted to the most capable, justice, the national shield, order, speeches of pacification and national reconciliation, social cohesion, fraternity, the benevolence of the international community, ... but when it moves backwards. a comprador bourgeoisie, the deficiency of an economic, political and social system or regime, the abstraction of political morality, the permanent budget deficit, the reign of anarchy, the swarming of gangs, pseudo-Heads of State, interested populism, inflammatory speeches, imposture, puppet governments, upside down politics, politicards, politicism, political instability, press muzzle, demagoguery, prevarication, political push-up , diplomatic intrigue, Machiavellian farces, political scenarios orchestrated to catapult the head of the least capable country, phony elections, agitations, political improvisation, conspiracies, chaos, fratricidal struggles, internal dissensions, violence, kidnapping, drug trafficking, high unemployment, escalating prostitution, trading in unpunished influence, mimicry, acculturation, calm p lat, laxity, scandalous acts, the right of asylum granted to looters of state coffers, economic exploitation, persecution, alleged pretexts, blackmail, ultimatum, occupation, intervention of failure, domination, interference, guardianship, contempt, the presence of foreign armed forces ...
Here is the parallel between the mechanism of a country which progresses and the mechanism of a country which regresses! It is this sustained backward movement, this process of Haiti's bogged down in poverty, this observation that things are going from bad to worse that must be called the development of underdevelopment.
I vehemently deplore the action of our comprador bourgeoisie, the prevarication of public authorities and the action of the international community.
Exactly, to whom to attribute the disasters, the iniquities, the scandals, the setbacks, the turmoil which tarnish the image of Haiti and which debase it?
This lamentable situation in which Haiti is struggling, this gray routine, this doggie of tradition must not be imputed neither to the illiterate, nor to intellectuals outside the political scene, nor to professionals, neither to workers, nor to artisans, nor to proletarians, nor pig blood spilled in the Bois-Caïman and patati and patata; but to the comprador bourgeoisie, the prevaricant leaders and the international community.

ECONOMIC SITUATION
1860-1898
The situation of the economically weak country, torn apart by the civil war inside, contempt, misunderstood, insult outside, is at the origin of the reaction of the clerics. (From the same Professors-Volume 2)
-1875-
The loans that Rameau had voted on remained infamous. They were simply scandals, especially that of 1875, says "Domingo loan. lt was 12 million francs Nine-tenths of the money went into the pockets of foreign speculators, Domingue and Rameau. The country did not profit from this loan, but it was ashamed to have, for the first time, a foreigner at the customs of Port-au-Prince. (History of Haiti Elementary and Middle Course, page 183)
1897
THE LUDERS AFFAIR or the iniquity of December 6, 1897.
On this date, the German government demands from the government of Tirésias Simon Sam the sum of $ 20,000 in compensation to Luders. (History of Haiti)
ECONOMIC SITUATION UNDERJEAN-CLAUDE DUVALIER
At the beginning of the 1980s, it became impossible for anyone among the Duvalier authorities, the looters, to go, as in the past, to look for money in state institutions, such as the Ciment of Haiti, the Flour mill, Telecom, Customs, port authorities and Contributions. Discontent then gains the rank of certain insatiable Jean-Claudists who do not intend to lose the products of the cash cow, that is to say the fallout from the secret budget of the government.
As a result, they begin by conducting a whistleblower information campaign. There is talk of embezzlement of government funds through the "Michèle Bennett Duvalier Foundation" led by the First Lady. She had to explain herself to foreign journalists about the raison d'être of her organization. According to Mrs. Bennett << The activities of the Foundation are naturally complementary to the social policy of the government. Biles joins the social objectives of the government program. In the medical, health and social fields, there is close collaboration between the Foundation and government institutions. But the role of the Foundation is to channel donations and all forms of aid from the private sector in order to help the poor and the underprivileged. ("RISTOIRE D'HAITI ours" by Historian Guerdy Jacques Préval- Page 350)
ECONOMIC SITUATION1804
The War of Independence had left the country in ruins. The relentlessness of the French troops to massacre everything that directly or indirectly affected the sublime barefoot of Dessalines; the tactics of the black general "cut head! Quail bump! heroic answers to the monstrosities of Rochambeau, all that put our country in a very pitiful economic situation. The fields of sugar cane, cotton, indigoterie on Iesquels rested the plate economy of the former French colony, once so flourishing, was nothing but a heap of manure. " We remained, says Price, in possession of soil ravaged by war. "Besides, the colonists had not been able to create any economic organization which could
1825-
In his edicts of April 17, 1825, King Charles X of France, agreed to recognize the independence of Haiti on condition that the government of Jean-Pierre Boyer paid him compensation of 50 million francs in pure gold or of American dollars, valued today at the staggering sum of $ 21 billion 7 million. (HISTORY OF HAITI, Ours - Pages 206 and 419)
ECONOMIC SITUATION1898-1915
The country is therefore undergoing a crisis which threatens the very structures of society. We are greedily enriched at the expense of the state coffers. A political, vile and corrupt fauna clings to the tail of all regimes. (HISTORY COURSE OF HAITIAN LITERATURE by Professor Dieudonné Fardin Tome-3 "The generation of the round")
ECONOMIC SITUATION1915-1946
From 1911 to 1915, six presidents succeed one another at the head of the country. There are 4 for the year 1915 only. The civil war is raging despite the good will of certain leaders to restore peace. Anarchy reigns over the whole territory of the republic. The middle classes do not intend to be excluded from the affairs of the state. The country is experiencing a deep crisis.
At that time, the United States was looking for control of the Haitian market anyway. And they are not alone. "At the end of February 1914, the United States consular agent in Petit-Goâve announced to the city authorities that he was responsible for supervising the collection of customs revenue. On March 14, the Minister of Germany, Dr. Perl, informed the Minister of Foreign Affairs Mr. Jacques N. Leger, that the imperial government would insist on participating in Haiti's customs controls if this control was granted to one or more other foreign powers. Leger replied with vivacity that nothing of this kind had been envisaged ”(Histoire du peuple Haïtien, D. Bellegarde)
At the fall of Oreste Zamor, the State Department informed Mr. Davilmar Theodore "that he would not be recognized as provisional President unless he agreed to send a commission to Washington to negotiate a convention relating to the control of customs, to the lease of the Mole St-Nicolas, to the transfer of the National Bank of the Republic of Haiti to a banking establishment of the US "(DB) We are in November 1914. In December, without the opinion of the Haitian government and without the consent of the French director of the National Bank of the Republic of Haiti, the marines disembarked from the gunboat "Machias", remove from the BNRH to be transported to New York and deposited at the National City Bank, the five hundred thousand dollars constituting the reserve of ten million gold francs planned for the monetary reform of Haiti.
Haitian protests near the State Department went unanswered.
How to explain such interference in our internal affairs?
Members of the foreign bourgeoisie established in the country, particularly Syrians, in order to protect their trade, claim to be American citizens and request the intervention and protection of the American armed forces at each skirmish in the streets of the capital.
Ten years later ..- the North Americans, after having interfered in our internal affairs, far from resolving the economic, political and social antagonisms on the contrary accentuated them. "The same class contradictions still remain," says a bulletin from the Patriotic Union. "The profiteers were the same financial oligarchy which, before 1915, had made the political profession such a fruitful exploitation that any other speculation of fortune seemed mediocre in comparison".
The 1922 loan, a real "political loan", was imposed on the Haitian government to justify the final control of its finances by American officials.
Under the government of Louis Borno, the real Head of State is General Jean Russel, American High Commissioner, Head of the occupation, because "any bill, whatever its nature, had to be submitted for its approval or censorship. "
Based on the testimony of Arthur Millsoaugh, American author, Bellegarde states "... American civil servants exercise almost absolute power in matters of public order, finance, the economy, health and the agricultural extension program ".
In addition the occupant sharpens in all its acuity the question of the prejudice of color by favoring the mulattos in the administrative jobs. 1927 was the terrible year of the occupation.
Yankees boots take more than one sleep.
This is already the time when Doctor Price-Mars inaugurated his public education (1917). Thus spoke the uncle will appear in 1928 to definitively direct the steps of the young people of the Indigenous Revue (1927).
(COURSE OF HISTORY OF THE HAITIAN LITERATURE Of Professor Dieudonné Fardin Tome 4- "Panorama of the INDIGENIST MOVEMENT".)
The fragments of our history presented above reveal to us the cowardice, the cruelty, the persecutions of France, Germany and the United States with regard to Haiti.
Let us move on to the action of the Haitian bourgeoisie, considered to be the greatest internal economic disaster!
The work of the Poet, Professor and Historian Michel Soukar, entitled: "LA RADIOGRAPHIE DE LA BOURGEOISIE HAÏTIENNE" relates a bunch of acts of our comprador bourgeoisie which do not fail to strike the conscience and arouse general indignation
Regarding the Haitian economy.
it is obvious that one of the conditions of the American intervention of 1994 aimed at the privatization of public enterprises.
While our brethren of the Black Caucus imagined that they would receive, through this privatization, the deserved reward for their efforts in favor of "the restoration of democracy" in Haiti, they were kept away from sharing the spoils . The traditional Haitian bourgeoisie remains, until now, the great beneficiary of the liberalization of the national economy. The middle classes which had constituted this relatively important sector of the Haitian public economy, find themselves to be the servant of the dirty work in favor of the lumpen-bourgeoisie. In fact, in his work on the United States and the Haitian market, Alain Turnier wrote: "Before the occupation, American interests included the Port-au-Prince wharf, the Electric Company, the Railway Company of the Plaine du Cul-de-Sac, the National Railway and an interest of around 40 per cent in the National Bank. "
The governments of Estimé, Magloire and Duvalier succeeded in Haitizing these public services as well as HASCO, the Dauphin plantation, the Minoterie, the Telecom, the Ciment of Haiti and the defunct ENAOL. It is significant that at the end of the 1990s, the representatives of the lumpen bourgeoisie put on the slippers prepared by the middle classes, not to serve as proxies more or less prevaricating from a weak and corrupt state, but as owners or influential shareholders. This ascent was only possible because the middle classes had managed to drive the foreigner out of these key sectors, veritable heights dominating our national economy.

Among the nine masters of the Haitian economy, there were only two representatives of Haitian families (Boucard and Gentil), the other seven being foreign nationals. Around Paul Magloire, incarnation of political power after 1946, stood two blacks and two mulattoes, all of them head of state, but above all zealous servants of the foreign capitalists who dominated and dominated the Haitian economy at the time. largely still. Indeed, if we take the sample offered by "Le Nouvelliste", we can note that the descendants of the seven businessmen of foreign origin are now the leaders of the Haitian banking system: the Brandt (founders of the Bank of the Haitian Union), the Nadal (co-founders of Sogebank), the Deschamps (who have one of their own as vice-president of Promobank). As for the Madsen, they control the only brewery in Haiti and part of the coffee export trade, while the Elie Joseph dominate an import sector of fabrics and food products.

ECONOMIC SITUATION under JEAN-BERTRAND ARISTIDE, 2ndMANDATE: 2001-2004
The President let traitors, drug traffickers, looters of state coffers, people who play caïds, people who believe neither in love, infiltrate into his government, without realizing it of the country, nor in the honesty of their political activities.
In some jurisdictions, this is downright mismanagement. The most striking example is that of the Minister of the Interior, Henry Claude Ménard. He placed himself above the Directorate General of Taxes (DGI) by demanding that the passport receipts go to the cash of his ministry. This goes against the principles of taxation. He went in person and,
with authority, removes the collection box from the Immigration office headed by Jeanne Bernard ". The same is true of the Prime Minister of the government, Jean-Marie Cherestal. He bought a house for his private use, at the price of a million US dollars, out of the state accounts. After this scandal, this building was handed over to the State.

SADNESS TO THE MAN BY WHOM THE SCANDAL ARRIVES! (Matthew 18: 7)
This, in short, is the process of the impoverishment of Haiti! Often, the Mass media speak of Haiti as being the poorest country in the Caribbean; but hide, for lack of objectivity and integrity, the why of his situation. Thus, many brainless Haitians have complexes (feelings of inferiority). They barter their culture (decorum, respect for propriety, filial love, etc.) for another (without decorum, without respect for propriety, without filial love, etc.) which can ruin their future. They cannot be distinguished from black Americans without respect for convenience and from dissolute black Jamaicans because they resemble them. They do not know, alas! let them lower themselves to slavishly imitate these people.
I ask you, therefore, to help me return to positive what the term "HAITIAN" has pejorative to remedy this situation. I am proud to be Haitian at the thought that my veins carry the blood of Toussaint Louverture, the first of the Blacks, of "Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the Great", the Founder of my Fatherland, "the cradle of black power" and Capois-LaMort the Hero of Heroes.
It would be entirely wise to call upon our help our brothers and sisters of race, let us say better, a great African power, since the superpowers and the league of the great powers are too little interested in it. Alas! this great African power is not of this world upside down where oppression and tyranny reign, where force still takes precedence over law, where the strong suffocates the weak, where the vice which should be withered is exalted. Africa is fragmented and, as a result, weakened.
The countries which compose it are not united among themselves independently of their will or in spite of themselves. None of them can hand us the pole. Whites dominate over them all: Ivory Coast, Senegal, Liberia, Congo, Angola, Mozambique (Portuguese colonies), Zimbabwe - The Horn of Africa: Somalia, Ethiopia, Djibouti and Eritrea - Le Grand
Magreb: Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, Libya and Mauritania (North Africa) - South Africa, the continent's leading economic power, etc.
The ideal for us would be to have a bourgeoisie with a black majority and a white minority. Let it not offend anyone! There are no black bourgeois in Haiti, nor in the United States of black capitalists. However rich a Negro may be, Uncle Machin is superior to him and, therefore, subjugates him and holds him in check.
To those who are distraught as to the defeatists, I say that all is not blazing, because God who can revive the courage of the slaughtered hearts is with us in the fight. It is immutable. He will certainly do for us what he once did for our ancestors, "THE TITANS OF INDEPENDENCE". To this end, we must invoke him in all humility and make Him our delights. It was Satan who put our ancestors under the yoke of slavery. It was MICAEL who released them with a strong hand and an extended arm. "To God be glory in the century of centuries!" Watchword: "Let us constantly remember to fully glorify the Lord of hosts in return for the prodigy of independence which he has worked in our favor!"
We must be careful not to apply the "devil's law" in the battle! Our God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, Jacob and Haiti, will not fail to exercise his vengeance against the leagues of our criminals who meditate against us with evil designs and to inflict on each of them well deserved retribution, because our cause is entrusted to Him.
OPINION véridique
Armed with reference and basic texts, sometimes from L'Histoire d'Haïti, sometimes from volumes 1, 2,3 of The History of Haitian Literature, sometimes from the Radiography of the Haitian bourgeoisie, you agree of the opinion that the only ones responsible for our current situation, chaos, the economic and political crisis and our setbacks are
1. Our bourgeois compradors who only think of stepping up their profit.
2. Our puppet Heads of State, and cowards, our Machiavellian Ministers, our shameless Senators, our unscrupulous Deputies, etc ... making the most incredible concessions, the most ignominious and the sycophancy to the detriment of
Haitian nation to satisfy their push-up. In their speeches, "DEMOCRACY", the definition of which they ignore, is the most hammered word. On the other hand, they give democracy, to be preferred or elected, a connotation of social well-being and an implication of right to immorality or license. The anarchy that reigns in the country is the effect. These bastards are all populists. They are all hostile to "HIGH-END POLICY" as well as to the pursuit of phenomenal advances.
3. The politicians of the international community involved in
the scandalous action of the stagnation of Haiti in underdevelopment (development of underdevelopment or backward movement) which make us suffer their iniquities (domination, occupation, guardianship, intervention of failure, interference, dismantling of the army of Haiti, making the country very vulnerable to the Dominican, persecution policy, etc.) to rob us of our sovereignty, tarnish and defile our image, ruin, gnaw our pride of the first Negroes and Negroes independent in the world, s '' to enrich more and more, to impoverish us more and more and to perpetuate the tradition.
This is a social movement which places its struggle in the perspective of a better future by improving the action of our bourgeoisie, the public authorities and the international community.
"ABOUT."
The Peacock proposes to provide humanitarian aid to the most deprived in several forms through its charitable ministry called: "MERCY"
(Luke 10:37), to found educational establishments, to open Institutes, to establish Art galleries, to organize colloquiums, conferences, symposiums, forums, marathons, etc. to erect statues in honor of our Heroes and Heroines, of our men and women of talent and genius, political and intellectual luminaries, to establish urban planning laboratories, scholarly research centers, circles literary and artistic, to award excellence awards, innovation awards, athletic and artistic performance awards, to embellish our road network, to form a musical group called: "TIKI BAND" as well as brass bands, to throw themselves into the fray for the establishment of our own economic, political and social system or regime, to establish an organization, having for object the security of the Haitian diaspora, etc ...
This is an emerging element of culture, a benchmark of contemporary originality, a movement that does not fail to please everyone, an auspicious movement and tangible proof of our desire to profess the mystique of transcendence or to emerge from calm. flat (our current stage) in the era of national pride, an attempt to make a worthy work, a cause to be cherished fully and to be supported by prayers, donations of all kinds, subsidies, patronage from the Ministry of Culture, activism , customs duty, etc.
I therefore call on you to mobilize your intellectual, physical and economic forces for the materialization of the projects mentioned above. I call you, therefore, daughters, sons of Dessalines, of Toussaint Louverture, of Capois-La-Mort ... to this new struggle for the conquest of our well-being and so that our children and we are no longer the object mockery and insults from our opponents.
I hope one day to be able to identify with precision all the springs of Haiti's distress, from the evils which overwhelm it and which darken its horizon or from the catastrophes which threaten to take away the resources which it has left. We do not succeed, not that we are incapable of governing ourselves; but because we are blocked.
I wish from the bottom of my heart that our dear Haiti, shaking off its old rags of tradition, will be able to put on a dress strewn with peacock eyelashes, as the cries of Capois-la-Mort ring out: < <FORWARD! FORWARD! FORWARD! and burns the flame of hope, one of the three theological virtues.
Please, my dear compatriots, appreciate at fair value, my commitment, my vocation, my intervention and my promise to indicate to you, as best as I can, the avenues of success so that, from now on, you will no longer be the dupes of pseudo-intellectuals who give bladders for lanterns and receive my warm and patriotic greetings favorably.
