Sosyete Gade Nou Leve
Sosyete Gade Nou Leve or Watch Us Rise Society, is an international Vodou house led by Houngan Hector. The members are Haitian, Hispanic, African-American, American, Arubian, Ukrainian, Dutch, Australian, and come from all over the world. Straight, gay, bisexual, transgender, none of these things bar initiation into Sosyete Gade Nou Leve. Everyone has a path to lead!
Fèt Gede 2007
Fèt Gede, the Feast of the Dead, is a time when “Vodouisants” celebrate the ancestral dead who walk with us all our lives. Gede is an important part of every living person as we will all join them eventually.
In the Vodou religion the Gedes are feasted on November 2nd. In the Catholic Church, this is known as all souls day. Our Sosyete is no different, we celebrate the Lwa Gede as does every other society in Haiti. Gede is beloved by all.
The Gede Lwa are amazing. They are known for their ability to prophesize, heal, and protect as well as for their magical abilities. As well as their magical aptitude, they are known for their humor and their focus on sex. Gede are extremely fun Lwa to be around and they provide the comic relief often needed at the end of a long Vodou dance. They are saluted at the end of a ceremony, although they are known to show up whenever they desire.
The Gedes live in the cemetery. Before our ceremonies with the Gede here at our home, we go to the cemetery and pay respects. Before every cemetery, one must go through the crossroads and we ask “Mèt Kafou” to give us passage so that we can attend to the dead.
The Gede are wild. They dance the Banda, which imitates sexual intercourse in a very crude fashion. They dance with a cane, known as baton Gede, and often use this to signify their sex organ !!!
They are very concerned with fertility, sex and healing. As such, they are the special protectors of children and they watch over them to make sure they become strong adults. Strong adults have sex and create children, thus the Gede encourage the cycle of life, death, and rebirth.
Gede also knows what no one else may. Having the knowledge of the first people to ever roam the planet, there is nothing that they have not seen or maybe even done themselves.
There are hundreds if not thousands of different Gedes. Just as many people as have died, so are there as many Gede. There are Gede who only speak Kreyol, others who speak Spanish, others who speak English, and others who speak many other languages all together.
Baron Lakwa, the Father of the Gede, frequently makes appearances at our House. This year was no different. Unfortunately, we were so busy taking care of him that we didn't capture any pictures of him. But we did get some pictures of the Gede that rides in my head.
My Gede comes from Léogane, Haiti and is known for his uncanny ability to tell the future and create fast acting magical works. He loves to consult and sits on the floor. How a Léogane Gede came to follow me, I don't know !!! But during my time living in Haiti, I often visited a peristyle in Léogane and I am good friends with the Houngan of that peristyle. It looks like a Gede there must've followed me home.
The Gede Lwa are around us all the time. So please enjoy the presence of the Gede Lwa in your life.
GEORGE W. BUSH IS IRRELEVANT
TO THE FUTURE OF CUBA.
Bush on Cuba:
'Same old macho speech'
Sun, Oct. 28, 2007
BY CARL HIAASEN, Syndicated Columnist Author, Journalist, Senior Contributor, Miami Herald
George W. Bush is irrelevant to the future of Cuba, but that didn't stop the lame-duck president with gutter poll ratings from delivering another shopworn, knee-jerk lecture to the communist nation last week.
Bush's speech was recycled from his father, who recycled it from Ronald Reagan, who recycled it from Richard Nixon, who recycled it from Lyndon Johnson, who recycled it from John F. Kennedy.
The message was no different than it was back in 1961: a stern demand that the Cuban government renounce socialism and embrace democracy.
Now, as then, that demand will accomplish absolutely nothing for the struggling people of Cuba.
If Bush truly believes otherwise, it proves that he's floating in a foggy parallel universe, a self-important dream world in which hostile foreign leaders tremble at the sound of his voice.
Here's what he told the Cuban military: ``When Cubans rise up to demand their liberty, you've got to make a choice. Will you defend a disgraced and dying order by using force against your own people? Or will you embrace your people's desire for change?''
It's safe to assume that Raúl Castro isn't exactly shaking in his boots. There are no signs that Cuba's armed forces will suddenly turn on him, or that the citizens will spontaneously stage a revolt after Fidel Castro finally kicks the bucket.
No one disputes that change is coming to the island. Ironically, the president's boilerplate rant guarantees that the United States will have minimal influence on the new order, at least until 2009 when Bush vacates the White House.
Again the president defended the embargo against Cuba, one of the worst foreign-policy blunders of all time. Imposed at the height of the Cold War, it was devised to put an economic stranglehold on the country, ignite a revolution and drive Fidel Castro from power.
Four decades later, the embargo stands as a stupendous flop that has brought hardship only to the Cuban people whose hearts and minds we sought to win over. It was the best thing that ever happened to Fidel and his propaganda machine, the gift that kept on giving.
And, true to form, Bush has promised Raúl more of the same.
The president announced that he'll continue restricting travel by Cuban-Americans to the island, as well as limiting the amount of cash that exiles can send to their relatives. Both measures are nearly as unpopular in Miami as they are in Havana.
It's right for the leader of the world's foremost democracy to get up and talk about the need for human rights, honest elections and freedom of the press in a repressed society such as Cuba.
But when the speech is written as a scold, with only token incentives, it carries no weight or credibility abroad. The words ring arrogantly in the absence of serious dialogue and diplomacy, which have never been the strong points of the Bush foreign-policy brain trust.
The president's Cuba speech had no chance of persuading the Cuban leadership because it was crafted to placate a domestic audience, the conservative hard-liners who cheer the embargo and oppose any direct negotiations with Raúl Castro.
''The Socialist paradise is a tropical gulag,'' Bush declared somberly, flanked by relatives of imprisoned Cuban dissidents.
As usual, the president didn't mention the hundreds of political prisoners locked up by countries with whom we maintain robust and productive relationships, including Russia, China and Saudi Arabia. None of those governments allow free elections, or a free press.
The hypocrisy of the U.S. position isn't lost on Cubans, no matter how they might feel about the ascendancy of Raúl Castro.
Bush's speech, which called for an international fund to help rebuild a democratic Cuba, failed to sway many foreign leaders, including our allies. This week the United Nations is expected to vote by a whopping margin to condemn the U.S. embargo, as it has every year for more than a decade.
As too many presidents before him, Bush has embraced the paternal notion that Cuban citizens are desperately looking to the United States for a blueprint to democracy.
He has no clue how much distrust and resentment has been sewn by the punishing embargo, even among the many Cubans who are hungry for political reform. The last thing they want is meddling from the U.S. government, or from blowhard politicians in Miami.
When Cuba does move toward democracy, and some day it will, the leadership will come from those who've lived through the Castro regime, and know first-hand the challenges that lie ahead.
Bush had an opportunity to set a new tone by at least acknowledging that the future of Cuba belongs exclusively to the Cuban people. Unfortunately, that wasn't his target audience.
Instead, he made the same old macho speech, pandering to the same old crowd, and playing right into the hands of Fidel and Raúl.
How many deaths, how many who disappeared must we endure in Haiti !?
Federation of the Friends of Nature.
Le Matin, Haiti October 23, 2007
Translated by Max Blanchet
How many deaths, how many who disappeared must Haiti endure every rainy season, every time there is a natural calamity before it faces reality?
" Haiti was spared:" this statement, quoted in the international media in the morning of August 19, 2007, following the passage of Hurricane Dean, demonstrates the concern of "others" given Haiti's vulnerability to bad weather resulting from the degradation of its environment.
If Hurricane Dean, a strength 4 hurricane, had hit our country harder, the loss in human life and property would have reached unthinkable levels. The rains of recent days have impacted practically the whole nation. Yet, we are talking about low pressure systems that affected most of the Caribbean islands. Have our neighbors experienced as many deaths?
Our country, given its geographical position, must confront, practically during 5 months of every year, a hurricane season in addition to seasonal rains whose impact is more and more destructive and deadly. To reduce our vulnerability will require that adequate and permanent financial, material and human resources be put in place within the context of a declaration of a state of emergency on behalf of the environment.
It is commendable that there be good state performance in terms of the state reacting to disasters and rehabilitating affected areas. Such interventions are, however, punctual and reactive. It is absolutely essential today that the stress be put on prevention, involving permanent activities that will guarantee a genuine and sustainable development, one of the main features of which will be precisely the reduction of risk factors associated with natural catastrophes.
The Republic of Port-au-Prince had already forgotten Hurricane Dean and within a few days we and the others perhaps will forget the floods of late September and early October 2007. Let us not wait for our capital -- made up today of more than 50% slums -- to be hit head on by a hurricane, a torrential rain, an earthquake, or whatever calamity with the potential to produce great material destruction and losses in human life, to implement this declaration of a state of emergency. Global warming is now complicating our local and regional challenges. After 20 years of requests it is essential to rethink this declaration of a state of emergency and to implement it while taking into account the lessons learned.
In recent years crucial issues --including territorial management, zoning, delimitation and effective surveillance of protected areas, city planning, cadaster, land reform, energy policy, demographic growth, etc.-- have for all practical purposes been ignored, neglected or poorly managed by the powers that be.
We cannot continue to treat such issues of national importance in a manner that is virtual, emotional, or as taboo subjects left to the care of "others." They must be dealt with without delay in order to take the decisions that national interest dictates. The PAE (Environmental National Action Plan) of 1998 was a good first step that incorporated sound ideas. Eleven years have elapsed since.
Much of that thinking is still valid. The time has come to implement these ideas. The time has arrived to come up with consensual decisions and to act in order to pass on a livable patrimony to future generations. Haitians here and abroad must not repeat the same hesitations and errors of the last 20 years. If "others" do not concern themselves with our environment, what sector among us will take the correct initiatives? The executive branch, the legislature, the judiciary or civil society?
We must all pitch in!

Caribbean disaster reduction conference
to be held in Haiti
Caribbean News
PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad: Delegations from 28 countries and several international organisations will meet in Saint-Marc, Haiti, for the first ever High-Level Conference on Disaster Reduction to be held amongst countries of the Greater Caribbean.
Recent years have proven the need for a regional vision which takes into account scant resources and the realities of heterogeneous actors with common interests and the Conference will allow for the exchange of experiences, lessons learnt and best practices, as well as determine areas of intra-regional co-operation, bearing in mind the sheer number of initiatives in the region and the economies of scale achieved by harnessing the wealth of complementary capacities which ranges from high-tech equipment and scientific knowledge to the low-tech but key experience fundamental at the community level.
The most tangible outcome of the Conference will be the adoption of a Plan of Action to guide the work of the Association of Caribbean States’ Special Committee on Natural Disasters over the next five years.
The Plan of Action will endeavour to translate the UN’s Hyogo Framework for Action into the realities of the Greater Caribbean.
Vulnerability to disasters including exposure to the effects of climate change, impact the sustainable development of all countries of the Greater Caribbean regardless of size and have a particularly negative effect on the most vulnerable socio-economic groups, severely hampering efforts to meet the Millennium Development Goals.
The Association recognizes that assessing and reducing risk before investing in development at all levels of society will enable countries to become more resilient to natural hazards. In this regard, recognition of disaster reduction as a cross-cutting theme of sustainable development planning is paramount.
Dominican Republic bank chief
sees 8 percent growth in 2007
By Jorge Pineda
SANTO DOMINGO, Dominican Republic (Bloomberg): The Dominican Republic's economy will expand 8 percent this year, the country's central bank governor, Hector Valdez Albizu, said.
Speaking at an event to commemorate the bank's 60th anniversary on Tuesday, Valdez Albizu said the economy grew at an 8.2 percent pace in the first nine months of this year. His comments were posted on the central bank's website on Wednesday.
The country's inflation rate from January through September was 5.25 percent, with almost half that increase due to higher prices for energy, the central bank chief said.
Foreign reserves on October 18 were $2.97 billion, up from $2.25 billion at the end of last year. Valdez Albizu said the accumulation in reserves helped keep the country's currency at about 33.2 pesos to the dollar, and that otherwise it may have strengthened to 29 per dollar, harming exporters.
Exports in the first nine months of the year climbed 37 percent from the same time a year earlier to $1.95 billion, and may end the year at $2.5 billion, the bank's statement said. Remittances from Dominicans living abroad rose 7.4 percent through September, to $2.09 billion.
Cuban prima ballerina
Alicia Alonso
criticizes embargo
By ANNE-MARIE GARCIA Associated Press Writer
The head of the Cuban national ballet implored American artists, writers and intellectuals to denounce Washington's 45-year-old embargo against the communist-run island, saying Friday that cultural exchanges between both countries should not be considered crimes.
Prima ballerina Alicia Alonso released copies in English and Spanish of an open letter to the American arts and academic community that dismissed the trade sanctions as absurd.
"I address you all, admired and dear friends, to request you to raise your voices with the purpose of rejecting so unfair (a) measure, and demand the end of this inhuman and unjustifiable siege," wrote Alonso, a friend of Cuban leader Fidel Castro.
Alonso's missive came after U.S. President George W. Bush on Wednesday urged Congress to continue the embargo, which took its current form in 1962 and prohibits American tourists from visiting the island while choking off most trade between both countries.
U.S. performers, artists and academics - including jazz stars, rock singers, Hollywood actors and university professors - have been granted official permission to travel to the island despite the embargo, though tightened security measures following the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks have made securing a visa more difficult.
Cuban artists also have been allowed to travel to the United States for performances, award shows and cultural events, though some have complained of lengthy delays in getting U.S. visas or being denied American permission with little explanation.
Read for reporters at Havana's Museum of Dance by curator Pedro Simon, the letter said, "Let us work together so that Cuban artists and writers can take their talent to the United States, and that you are not prevented from coming to our island to share your knowledge and values. So that a song, a book, a scientific study or a choreographic work are not considered, in an irrational way, crimes."
Nearly blind, Alonso turns 87 in December and is six years older than Castro. She was a ballet star long before Castro's band of bearded rebels toppled Cuban dictator Fulgencio Batista in January 1959, and said Friday she has been traveling to the United States since 1937.
She did not say whether she ever had problems obtaining permission to travel there because of the embargo, however, and did not take questions to clarify the matter.
"I've made a declaration straight from my soul, my body," Alonso said of the letter. "From the heart of human duty, the conscience of right to life and liberty."

Le Dr. François Duvalier
1907 - 1971
Laissez-moi préciser pour vous que de mon point de vue , le Dr François Duvalier n'a été que le meilleur Chef d'État d'Haiti entre 1957 et aujourd'hui 2007, mais que la solution François Duvalier ne pouvait pas et ne saurait garantir le Développement Durable d'Haiti …
Aucun pays au monde ne peut connaitre de développement durable aujourd'hui sans 2 ou 3 partis politiques vrais, réels, organisés , suivis et fonctionnels .
Or Haiti n'a toujours pas un bon parti politique organisé , même plus ou moins comme en République Dominicaine ou à la Jamaïque . Donc , ne vous fourvoyez pas: on n'est pas en voie de développement durable en Haiti , mais pas du tout !
Et là , je mets en garde notre soeur adoptée Maureen Eyi du Gabon : Omar Bongo peut être un leader progressiste au Gabon , mais si Gabon n'a pas 2 ou 3 vrais partis Politiques , quand Bongo partira , le progrès pourrait quitter aussi facilement le Gabon vers l'anarchie de fin d'un régime autoritaire ayant duré .
Duvalierville juste à la fin de la construction de cette ville , anciennement Cabaret, fut moderne et chic architecturalement pour l'époque …
Le Dr. Duvalier pensait villes à construire , quand d'autres ne peuvent inaugurer que de petites unités de bureaux ou d'écoles . Voyez-vous la différence de vision ?
Personne ne veut prévoir pour Haiti , une autre Centrale Électrique plus grande et meilleure que celle de Péligre que François Duvalier construisit au barrage d'Estimé et de Paul Magloire ?
Haiti est en black-out à Port-au-Prince laissée en lumière par François et même Jean-Claude Duvalier en 1986?
François Duvalier eut des problèmes avec Mgr Poirier mais il s'entendit avec le Pape Paul VI …
Il eut des problèmes avec le président John F. Kennedy et le president dominicain Juan Bosch , mais il eut de bons rapports avec le Général De Gaulle depuis Haiti qu'il ne quitta pas .
Il comprit les relations diplomatiques …
Il n'aurait jamais démantelé les Forces Armées d'Haiti , même sous des attaques de militaires . Il savait qu'il faut une armée nationale à Haiti . Il ne fit qu'utiliser les VSN , mais pas à la place des FADH .
Quelles sont les dimensions de nos Chefs depuis Avril 1971 ?
Le Dr Duvalier nous dit qu'il sortait souvent le soir et la nuit pour aller en inspection de l'état des rues de la ville et d'autres travaux publics en cours , en sa qualité d'Officier Sanitaire , Officier Sanitaire , Officier Sanitaire .
Il eut conscience de son métier à tout moment …
Moi je ne suis pas avare d'éloges envers autrui , très objectivement : je voudrais pouvoir dire aussi du bien d'autres Chefs d'État d'Haiti que j'ai connus .. Ils ne m'en donnent pas l'occasion, franchement .
L'éthique pour François Duvalier est qu'il ne fut pas un Marron et mentait rarement , même lorsqu'il lui arrivait de frapper autrui .
François Duvalier fut méchant , vindicatif et généreux à la fois. Peut-être qu'il ne fut pas un haitien typique ( Guadeloupéen peut-être ) , comme le Guinéen Jean-Jacques Dessalines , le Béninois Toussaint Louverture ou le Grenadien Henry Christophe …
J'ai visionné et écouté l'interview accordée en 1968 par le Dr Duvalier à ce journaliste étranger à ses bureaux au Palais National .
Je vous l'ai déjà dit qu'on ne peut justifier les torts subis par beaucoup de familles haitiennes sous François Duvalier.
L'Histoire ne m'empêche pas cependant de réaliser que le Dr François Duvalier fut un rude travailleur comme Président de la République d'Haiti . Avec lui , il y avait un pouvoir vraiment centralisé et contrôlé globalement en Haiti et dans les représentations diplomatiques et consulaires d'Haiti à l'étranger . Haiti avait un Chef d'État au moins .
Quel que soit le cas de figure en Haiti de 1957 à 1971, je réalise que le Dr François Duvalier , par tempérament et par formation, aurait été quand même un dictateur ...
Si on ne l'avait pas attaqué avant dès 1958, il aurait été quand même un dictateur , mais plus productif encore au pouvoir .
Il eut raison de parler de ses dimensions au journaliste , car c'est vrai que l'entourage de François Duvalier ne fut pas au niveau pour comprendre ce qu'il voulait .
Je ne crois pas qu'il y eut jamais de vrais échanges entre lui et ses ministres aux réunions de Cabinet . Les ministres rentraient dans leurs bureaux respectifs avec des instructions écrites à exécuter .
Duvalier dormait rarement dans son lit , mais dans son bureau, sur un canapé . Il s'est épuisé effectivement à 64 ans…
Dommage qu'il a tous ces morts à sa charge , mais François Duvalier fut un grand homme visiblement dans ces vidéos.
Un autre n'a pas intérêt à vouloir hériter de François Duvalier: il ne pourra pas ...

Ti Gren fè gwo pyebwa. Mezanmi, an nou fin rakonte debandad gouvènman prezidan Nisaj Sajè 12 me lane 1874, e ki te koumanse 19 mas lane 1870. Lane 1870 prezidan meriken jeneral Ulys Grant ak jeneral Buenaventura Báez Méndez , prezidan peyi ladominikani siyen yon kontra kote meriken ta pran pati panyol-la nan men-yo, menm jan ak Potoriko ye jodi-a, yon teritwa kote tonton Sam ta sèl kok ki chante. Anpil citwayen dominiken pat kontan desizyon sa-a. Otorite meriken tande se peyi d-Ayiti ki tap voye ti dife boule pou dominiken-yo revolte, pou yo pat aksepte bot sire meriken pran peyi-yo. Reprezantan tonton Sam vil potoprens rale zorèy gouvènman Nisaj Sajè-an. Senatè Chal Sumner, leta Massachusetts, responsab si dominiken pat pèdu peyi-yo nan men peyi meriken. Li mennen nan Sena Washington-la pou kontra sa-a te fè bèkatè. Sena meriken-an vote ak yon majorite senatè pou kontra sa-a pat siyen. Peyi d-Ayiti rekonnèt si se pat pou gwo blan sa-a, senatè Chal Sumner leta Massachusetts, gouvènman meriken tap vire loloj la repiblik dominikenn kon teritwa-li. Ayisyen te konnen tou pa-yo pata lwen apre sa. Gouvènman Nisaj Sajè-an bay senatè Chal Sumner yon bèl meday an òw. Yon lwa ki pase asanble nasyonal peyi d’Ayiti, 27 jwiye lane 1871, otorize pou mete potre Chal Sumner nan sena vil potoprens. Li gen yon gwo avni nan potoprens ki rele Avni Chal Sumner. Se pa tout blan meriken ki gen move santiman pou peyi d-Ayiti; de-twa ladan-yo fè anpil pou pitit Desalin ak Petyon-yo, men se pou nou fè pou tèt-nou. Deblozay koumanse 10 janvye lanne 1873 nan eleksyon lejislativ-yo. Gouvènman Nisaj Sajè-an fè kont magouy-li pou pa kite pase yon lidè liberal ki te rele Bwaye Bazlè. Yo angaje tout solda, matelo, anplwaye leta pou ale vote kont Bwaye Bazlè. Malgre presyon ak magouy gouvènman Bazlè pase 512 vwa sou 1007. Mesye, patizan gouvènman-yo refize siyen pwosè vèbal-la. Ekriven angle-an, Graham Greene, ta gen bon materyèl pou li ta mete nan liv li-an “Les Comédiens”. Chire pit sa-a ap fèt depi 137 lanne nan peyi d-Ayiti. E si nou vle konnen bout listwa sa-a, apre anpil deba nan 2 chanb-yo Bazelè genyen wololoy 44 vwa kont 21. Yon tèt chaje ki te rele depite Septimus Ramo brote avè-li 26 depite ki refize chita la chanb ak Bwaye Bazlè. Pou yon kat mwa konsa travay lejislatif-lan pa janm fèt paske pat gen korom. Minis lenteryè gouvènman Sajè-an, Jozèf Lamot, mande Bwaye Bazelè pou li pat parèt la chanb pou rezoud kriz peyi-an. Chanb-yo reyini san Bazlè e yo rejte bidjè gouvènman-an te pwopoze. Bwi kouri militè bot sire-yo ta pral anvayi la chanb. Kom dabitud depite-yo kraze rak; konstitusyon se papye se vre, men bayonèt se fè. Politisyen pat pare pou yo te fè wout pou peyi san chapo. Peyi-a te an delala ak anpil minis yo di ki tap volè. Yo pat men-m pè jounalis-yo ankò ki tap ekri malveyans, dezod, ak kob ki tap disparèt. Asanble nasyonal-la pat ka reyini ak Septimus Ramo ki tap kontinye voye moute. Gen yon degoutans ki pran prezidan Sajè. 12 me lane 1874, twa jou anvan tèm prezidans-li fini. Yo mande-li pou li rete kon prezidan pwovizwa men li remèt chèf lame-an, jeneral Mishèl Domeng, pouvwa-an e li al kale wèss nan vil Senmak. Li mouri 7 avril lane 1880 ak anpil rekolt kafe sou tèt-li.

MEN SA LRAC CASCHOM PEYI D’AYITI
VOYE BAN MWEN Mon ami Carlito,
Une douce Roroli , qu'on ne trouve plus dans les barques d'aujourd'hui
qu'on ne sirotte qu'avec la bouche en sauce
et qu'on ne mange qu'avec les dents de devant.
Petite poésie à savourer avec Bavette.

geojèt desab sa se pa ninpot ki fanm kow l sèlman ki piti si-w wè l an travè, wa konn traktè pase sou li men li pa manyen ti devan'l ak ti deyè’l ki sanble de ti mango batis ak de ti kantaloup jaden lakay
ti mango yo ba-w anvi fe tòtòt pou li de ti melon yo di-w pase kouto ladann
