Hello Carl, It's good to be getting your commentaries again! Your biography never ceases to intrigue me and your revelation and commentary regarding the corporate world titled "Happy Labors Day" blew me away. I had to forward that to a couple of my friends and it’s been circulating around the "cyber space". As a matter of fact, from time to time I forward your e-mails to my friends, family, American, Haitian and international. I must admit that along with the informative subjects I enjoy on Haiti, the Diaspora, international and domestic issues, I am also entertained to recognize people and family that I know in your commentaries. I have already joined the myriad of fans that has the utmost admiration and respect for who you are and what you do for the Haitian community. As far as I am concerned you are a true hero and leader in that respect. With all the trial and tribulation you come out shining like a gem! I hope you have considered writing a biography. No doubt, a future best seller!!! Thank you Carl, I will always appreciate you!!! Warmest regards, Jean Sébastien Qualo

Dear Carl,
Regarding your remarks on WPBR 1340AM West Palm Beach, Florida and relayed on www.glaxieintertv.com Monday 01 October 2007 CARL’S CORNER, it is true that NEPOTISM is here and I have seen it in both the U.S. and Haiti. Don't be too hard on yourself. At least you were world wise and fluent in Spanish. You had a very active social life, thus knowing how to behave and represent your country at an official reception. But my dear friend, from Clinton to this day, both in Haiti and here, it has gone from bad to worst. Mind you, NEPOTISM with a friend/family with a diploma, and consequently can do the job, is more or less acceptable to the function of government. But in these banana republics of ours (Haiti and Miami), it is to the detriment of the people, the taxpayers, when you have scandals in Housing, in Grant Allocations, mismanagement of public funds, slum lords with contacts/family in government, “elatriye” etc....
As for Haiti, “podyab!”, the government is their personal business inherited from their parents to use and abuse as they wish. Check on the clerks at our Consulates or Embassies. They don't need to be "Einstein", but it would help if they had some lessons on Customer Service. As in all offices in government here and there, they forget that OUR TAX MONEY is their reason for being! THEY ARE PUBLIC SERVANTS! Their lovers, brothers/sisters, cousins, (parenn/marenn) should let them be fired if they are evaluated to be non-compliant with the office rules and regulations. This goes beyond NEPOTISM!
Your father would have had you hung on the Champ-de- Mars if you had disgraced your post!
Just a thought with love to all!

MAKENDAL Dear Carl, The Haitian community in Miami has a strong voice in Marleine Bastien. Marleine Bastien has been championing causes for the Haitian community for a very long time and has used every ounce of her strength, all of her connections as well as her fierce tenacity as a strong Haitian woman and leader to stand up for those who cannot or know not.
When we have leaders such as this championing our causes, we must and should stand by them in all possible ways, support them and even when not in their presence to stand up for them and for their causes as their causes are in effect the causes of our people. We sometimes put many issues aside based on location, ethnicity, or class separation, and sometimes we even ignore important issues if it does not affect our own pockets, our own families or our own constituency. If you read the article below, and the comments made about Haitians, many of you would be astonished. Some of you may even agree with the comments and others will turn a blind eye due to the fact that it has nothing to do with you, your class or your location. Thank goodness there are Bastiens, Metelluses, Foresters, Hermatins, and otherwise...
Saturday, September 22, 2007 Saturday Speak-up. Haitian Acitivist, Marleine Bastien, riles Bitchy Commissioner Natacha Seijas! by Geniusofdespair
Marleine Bastien, prominent Haitian Activist and passionate speaker got under the vile Natacha Seijas' skin at last night's budget meeting, according to a Miami Herald article, this was the exchange:
''I'm sick and tired of coming and standing up here every year for you to help us -- you do not,'' said Marleine Bastien, Director of the Haitian Women of Miami. ``You prefer to play politics, using our tax dollars to pay your political cronies, people who do your elections, using our tax dollars as payback.''That prompted a stern response from Commissioner Natacha Seijas, who said she has supported Bastien and ``voted for things that had to do with the Haitians.''
''I don't have cronies,'' Seijas said. ``I don't have people I pay back.''
An angry exchange followed, in English and Spanish: Bastien: ``Who that has feet, let them wear them.'' Seijas: ``I don't have feet and I don't wear it . . . You need to stop insulting us, or at least me.''
Of course you don't have feet vile Natacha. Your feet are in the pockets of your developer friends with the rest of you. Isn't it amazing that EVERYONE, who is on the right side of ANY issue, fights with Natacha? Thanks Marleine for standing up to the battle-axe and for speaking the truth.
To be an American: You've gotta have heart All you really need is heart When the odds are sayin' you'll never win That's when the grin should start You've gotta have hope Mustn't sit around and mope Nothin's half as bad as it may appear Wait'll next year and hope When your luck is battin' zero Get your chin up off the floor Mister you can be a hero You can open any door, there's nothin' to it but to do it You've gotta have heart Miles 'n miles n' miles of heart Oh, it's fine to be a genius of course But keep that old horse Before the cart First you've gotta have heart

I cannot say that I am shocked by some of the stereotyped and racist comments of many here...many of whom are religious people who probably bend their knees to prayer or attend church services seeking forgiveness from higher power. In reading the remarks here, I am again assured that racism and stereotypes come from ignorance and fear. It is amazing that Haitians are blamed for garbage dumping when this was not even the issue of this article and BLOG and if one were to digress from the issue, one could easily find every race and ethnic background in MIAMI-DADE COUNTY that is adding to the deplorable state of the county from drug dealing, prostitution, insurance scams, murder, robbery, child abuse, spousal abuse.
What is this animosity against us Haitians? Is it solely based on media coverage, or is it skin color and immigration issues? Naked hate? How can Americans and other ethnicities even talk about Haitians going back to Haiti when many are immigrants themselves or are descendants of immigrants who created ghettos upon their arrival, survived in America and turned many ghettos into thriving neighborhoods?
Should Haitians not have the same chance at the American dream and ideal as others? Haitians should go back and fix Haiti? ...If we are to go back and fix Haiti, we have to take many Americans with us who have been the culprits in destroying Haiti...from corporations to Congress people to Presidents and CIA to tourists and military personnel.
How about we all go back and fix what we broke? Know your history. I know mine. And believe me, if the economic advantages that were taken from Haiti were actually given back along with a promise of no more covert operations and corporate sweat shops backed by the US government, the amount of Haitians returning to Haiti would be staggering. We have economically contributed to the economics of Miami through businesses, homeownership, tax dollars, and employment in major areas of the community.
Respect is due to Marleine Bastien for her tenacious attitude, her drive and her willingness to stand for Haitians in the face of adversity, racism and Miami's Economic, Educational and Political Terrorism on Haitians!

Out of my many trips to Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, since age 9, there are three unforgettable moments.
The first time was in 1941 traveling by car from Haiti with my father Charles Fombrun, Haitian Secretary of State, to “Ciudad Trujillo” which was the name of the Dominican Republic’s capital in those days.
The second time was in December 1985 where I was chosen as Best Man to a Haitian-Dominican wedding, in the little town of Bonao, Dominican Republic.
And the third time, in the spring of 1994, as a guest at the luxurious Casa de Campo resort in the town of La Romana, Dominican Republic, at a Dominican-Haitian wedding.
In 1941, the purpose of the trip was to visit my older brother Marcel, who was the First Secretary of the Haitian Mission in Dominican Republic.
In 1985, at the Haitian-Dominican wedding in the town of Bonao, Dominican Republic, the Dominican and Haitian people were friendly, and their warm hospitality was always present ... The old political rivalry among the common people, Haitians and Dominicans, was non existent and the Spanish and Creole languages flowed freely. Haitians and Dominicans mixed easily in Spanish, English, French and Creole. This was a memorable event, which I enjoyed greatly. The groom, a Haitian-American, was a ramp service person in Eastern Airlines at Miami International Airport, and I was happy to be an important part of this special day for him.
In 1994, the other Dominican-Haitian wedding took place at the luxurious Casa de Campo resort in Dominican Republic, the ultimate in luxury from the main cathedral in the town of La Romana where literally a red carpet was extended outside and inside for guests, and a formal reception, where expensive Dominican cigars were available and non-stop Dom Perignon champagne was served to guests. I was seated with the bride's relatives and the conversation was flowing in Spanish, French and English. Seated at my right, I had a Dominican gentleman who then asked me where I was from. I told him I was from Haiti. He did a double take and looked back at me again, surprised, as if I had just told him I came off a UFO. I thought this was a Dominican-Haitian wedding but the only one who seemed to acknowledge Haiti, as my birth country, was myself. The bride was Haitian as well as her family but no one would mention it. I then realized that Spanish and English were spoken and some French, but no Creole. It was obvious that this attitude was due to avoid historical cultural stress between two groups. Class, color, and cultural differences were sadly the priorities at that event.
The world would be so much better were it not for the small minds that pollute it. These latest remarks are not intended to criticize any particular group. In the Haitian-Dominican historical rivalry both sides have been guilty of irrational behavior. In cosmopolitan Miami today there are times I am not recognized, or accepted, as a Haitian by some Haitians themselves, although I have always told everyone since high school days of my being Haitian. I do however like to think of myself as a citizen of the world with Haitian roots. The overwhelming majority of Haitians are of African descent with some, who are racially mixed with original native “tainos”, and white Europeans who did occupy Haiti once.
The best solution for the human race is to turn this planet into a multi-racial society which will in the long run benefit everyone. We Haitian-Americans, living here among multiple cultures from all over the world could give the example; strength through good will and unity among us.
God bless America which, unless unforeseen events, is slowly but surely becoming a multi-racial nation after a troubled past in race relations. The whole world still has a long way to go and the U.S.A., regardless of its past and present racial sins, is leading the way. That's what makes America great; commitment to a better tomorrow. " Rayi chen, di dan yo blansh ", a creole expression meaning: “You may not like dogs, but you must agree that their teeth are white”. In other words, in every human being there are good things.

MISSION AND PURPOSE
The Haitian American Historical Society (HAHS) is a 501 (c) (3), non-profit organization with the support of numerous public officials at the local, state and federal level. HAHS is dedicated to fully investigate any past instances where Haitian contributions have been identified. The organization seeks to establish truth and accuracy in historical events pertaining to Haitians and those of Haitian descent. This bold and ambitious goal will allow current and future generations to understand and appreciate the role and contributions of Haitians to American Society and other parts of the world. This is especially important for the next generation who are on the verge of losing their identities and connection to Haiti. It is our hope HAHS will promote understanding and positive cooperation between Haitians, Haitian-Americans and others of African descent toward a better appreciation of our common heritage.
THE SAVANNAH MONUMENT PROJECT
One of the major goals of HAHS is to erect a monument in Savannah, Georgia to honor our forefathers, "Les Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue," a platoon of Haitian soldiers who fought for American Independence at the "Siege of Savannah" in 1779.
The monument will be implemented into two phases by renowned sculptor James Mastin. Phase I will consist of three greater than life size statues representing Chasseurs-Volontaires, including the 12 year old drummer boy Henri Christophe, who became commander of the Haitian army and later King of Haiti. Also, young Christophe was the second head of state in the Western Hemisphere to be of African heritage. Subsequently, Phase II will be constructed to represent the remaining three statues of these Freedom Fighters who fought in the battle.

SAUVONS L’HONNEUR
par Francis Volel
La fragilité de la situation nationale, affectant toutes les couches sociales dans toutes les sphères à l'échelle mondiale, nous invite à redéfinir les bases de la construction de la nation Haitienne. L'articulation des conditions essentielles à l'édification de l'avenir, résidant dans une entente nationale et globale.
La mesure de notre progression, liée a notre capacité de communiquer, se comprendre et définir ensemble un objectif commun, défie les normes depuis tantôt deux siècles. La grande priorité à la base, demeure toujours le respect de l'autre, l' Haitien surtout, avant l'étranger, avec tout le respect que nous lui devons.
' Tout a été dit, tout a été fait '. De la parole aux actes, un abîme, implacable, fauchant les plus habiles, démoralisant les moins astucieux. Cet abîme semble prendre des proportions gigantesques et parfois parait se réduire juste pour nous prendre au piège. Comment nier son existence après deux siècles de revers marqués par la violence, ponctués de périodes calmes le plus souvent imposés par la force brutale, parfois étrangère.
La définition de cet abîme est le manque de respect envers l'autre, le besoin toujours pressant de se remplir les poches, la soif du pouvoir et la faiblesse de l'individu.
La solution pourtant simple se définit a priori dans le respect de soi-même et par conséquent, d'autrui. La solution se révèle dans le respect des règles établies et des valeures citoyennes. Inspirons-nous des nombreux modèles édifiants chez nous et à travers le monde et rejettons les exemples crapuleux, inclus certains grands de ce monde, sans essayer de leur faire une morale qu'ils n'assimileraient pas; out en laissant le soin à la diplomatie d'arrondir les angles trop aigus, en déséspoir de cause.
Notre propre défi, basé sur nos aspirations profondes et soulevé en 1804 à la face du monde, ne saurait nous faire défaut après deux siècles de tourments. L'illustre Alexandre Pétion, ' Papa Bon Kè ' aimé et pleuré par tous, s'exprimait en ces termes dans son discours d'ouverture de la première législature Haitienne:
" Si nous jetons nos regards sur le passé, sur ce qu’il a fallu entreprendre pour nous porter à notre situation présente, nous nous enorgueillerons du titre d’Haïtiens, nous trouverons en nous-mêmes de nouvelles forces pour le soutenir et nous pourrions avancer sans crainte que pour avoir opéré ce que nous avons fait, nous ne pourrions être des hommes ordinaires. "
Gardons l'Espoir, facilitant nos vies dans la dignité. La balle roule dans notre camp...

Mon cher Carl, Si aujourd'hui j'ai choisi de parler de la vie et l'oeuvre magnanime qu'entreprend un homme d'une remarquable bonté et d'une bienviellance illimitée, dont les actes de secours à l'endroit des nécessiteux est d'un caractère touchant, c'est parce que certaines actions, pleines de grâce et de noblesse, doivent être contées. Il s'agit du Pasteur Jean Renaud Guillaume, Fondateur de l'Église, La Mission Chrétienne d'Haiti, à Los Angeles, où le receuillement des fidèles dévoile cette paix du coeur que l'Éternel accorde à ceux qui ont la foi réelle en lui. Les sermons du Pasteur sont d'un language simple et profond où les messages de réconfort vont de pair avec l'aide octroyée à ces familles en détresse. Le Pasteur Jean Renaud Guillaume est aussi très qualifié en matière d'immigration, ce qui profite aux haitiens non-documentés qui assistent aux services religieux. À part son doctorat en théologie,il est le conseiller d'une grande partie de la communauté haitienne sur un grand nombre de lois concernant la Sécurite Sociale et le droit des citoyens quant aux assurances qui couvrent les accidents et les cas d'infirmité prévus par l’État de la Californie. Si je devais énumerer toutes les qualités d'âme du Pasteur Jean Renaud Guillaume, l'une d'entre elles qui attire mon attention est sa facon discrète de repartir le peu qu'il possède aux moins favorisés du sort. A ma facon de comprendre le sens de la vie, je t'assure, mon cher Carl, qu'il vit sa religion, pas seulement en la prêchant, mais aussi en la pratiquant, et quand tu viendras à Los Angeles, tu verras combien les visages tristes d’hier, ont aujourd'hui un sourire d'espoir inspirés par la foi. À très bientôt, mon cher frère. Henry

Mariages entre étrangers et Attelages mal assortis
" 2Co 6 14 - cité selon la Bible en Français Courant - N'allez pas vous placer sous le même joug que les incroyants, d'une manière absurde. Comment, en effet, ce qui est juste pourrait-il s'associer à ce qui est mauvais ? Comment la lumière pourrait-elle s'unir à l'obscurité ? "
" Ne fais pas d'attelage mal assorti car quelle part il y a-t-il entre Christ et Bélial, la lumière et les ténèbres, le temple de Dieu et les idôles ? "
Il est clair qu'un mariage entre 2 étrangers nationalement ne veut pas dire nécessairement un attelage mal assorti .
L'attelage mal assorti dont parle la Bible des chrétiens concerne le plan spirituel et la croyance respective des conjoints . Cela étant dit , il reste très risqué pragmatiquement et stratégiquement d'aller se marier avec une personne étrangère à sa nationalité . Se marier à une nationale ne garantit pas non plus que ça marchera .
Qu'un homme trouve une bonne et digne épouse reste uniquement un don-cadeau personnel de Dieu ( à un homme ) !

30 Septembre 1991 :
un Lundi malheureux et
noir pour Haiti !
J'étais à Port-au-Prince le 30 Septembre 1991 . Je travaillais alors au Bureau de Gestion du PL- 480 au Bicentenaire Ancien Local du Casino International tout près de nos homologues et amis de l'USAID à l'ancien local de l'Hôtel Beau Rivage .
Le samedi 28 Septembre, j'étais au matin au Local du Bureau à pratiquer les logiciels à peine appris de Lotus et de Word Perfect . Jean Erick Déryce mon collègue qui était Directeur , passa aussi au Bureau . Je crois que l'Ingénieur défunt, Jean-Luc Désinor , assistant-Directeur ainsi que Georges Yvon Joseph passèrent aussi au Bureau .
Je pense que Port-au-Prince fut assez calme ce samedi 28 Septembre 1991 au matin ( après le retour du Président Jean Bertrand Aristide des Nations-Unies à New-York et ses messages et propos controversés ) .
Tout allait se gâter le dimanche 29 Septembre 1991 . On prit malgré tout beaucoup de temps pour finir par comprendre qu'il s'agissait de la mise en place d'un Coup d'État qu'on appellera abusivement Correction Démocratique mâme quand cela en avait seulement l'air .
Les militaires haitiens putschistes n'eurent aucun projet sérieux pour relever Haiti ( à la manière d'un Augusto Pinochet au Chili quand il renversa le Dr Salvador Allende ) . Autrement , les USA les auraient aidés .
Enfin , cela nous a menés loin jusqu'au démantèlement des FADH et l'occupation maintenant durable d'Haiti par les Armées des Nations-Unies , avec la dégradation accélérée de l'environnement d'Haiti à l'Embargo Énergétique, la diminution de la production nationale , l'exode accru des haitiens dans tous les sens , la pêpêrisation accrue en Haiti , l'augmentation des violences et du banditisme au pays ..
Politiquement so far , LAVALAS a gagné en Haiti , mais sans Haiti ou sans profits pour Haiti , et ça va durer , puisqu'il n'y a pas de Partis Politiques valables en Haiti, et que la logique des Nations-Unies et des Pays dits Amis d'Haiti est affine avec l'idéologie Lavalassienne d'une Haiti sans Armée Régulière Enregistrée et Contrôlable ( accountable ) .
Enfin, enfin.

Amo a distancia
Que ironía siempre amo a distancia,
pero si supieran cuanto temo viajar,
y sigo pecando ¿cuando debo dejar?
el sueño me castiga por consecuencia.
Aspiro de la altura y tan solo bajo quedo.
En la vida tristemente todo tiene precio.
Desilusionar a la que me tiene aprecio,
es mi castigo y en el siempre me enredo.
Ni se porque estoy entres vosotros.
Sucesiva esperanza amaso cada día,
y en cada ocaso sucumbe en la agonía.
Esta costumbre heredo de mis ancestros,
de morir con el sol y nacer con el nuevo día.
La vida es presente, ser de la creación es alegría.
