Unknown CAMPAIGN 2008 Guylène Berry www.kozefanm.com Haitian-American Guylene Berry of KOZE FANM, seen here with Carl and CARL’S CORNER Associate Serge Olivier , made the front page of the MIAMI HERALD of Saturday January 26, 2008 Black Democrats struggle between Clinton and Obama.
Black Democratic voters in Florida struggle to choose between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton.
.
BY AUDRA D.S.
BURCH aburch@MiamiHerald.com At 9 a.m.
Friday, after the two children had left for school, Haitian-American Guylene Berry hoped to decide in the quiet of her Miami Lakes home.
She had tried before, given Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama time and energy, pondering the promises, but the choice hadn't gotten any easier.
Host of KOZE FANM , a Haitian radio program in Miami , Berry changed her mind in the car on her way to vote early. And again when she stood in line.
''I voted for Hillary Clinton today.
I am a single mother, so her views on employment, universal healthcare and the housing crisis appealed to me.
But this was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made,'' says Berry , 35, who cast a vote for the first time on Friday.
``On the one hand, I wanted to vote for a black American, a man who would give my children hope.
On the other, women's issues are close to my heart.'' Miami Herald , January.
26, 2008 CAMPAIGN 2008 Landslide for Obama in South Carolina Senator Barack Obama won 55 percent of the vote in South Carolina, leaving Senator Hillary Clinton a distant second.
The battleground now shifts to the 22 states that hold primaries and caucuses on February 5, 2008.
Right on, Barack!
A President like my Father By CAROLINE KENNEDY OVER the years, I've been deeply moved by the people who've told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president.
This sense is even more profound today.
That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama.
My reasons are patriotic, political and personal, and the three are intertwined.
All my life, people have told me that my father changed their lives, that they got involved in public service or politics because he asked them to.
And the generation he inspired has passed that spirit on to its children.
I meet young people who were born long after John F.
Kennedy was president, yet who ask me how to live out his ideals.
Sometimes it takes a while to recognize that someone has a special ability to get us to believe in ourselves, to tie that belief to our highest ideals and imagine that together we can do great things.
In those rare moments, when such a person comes along, we need to put aside our plans and reach for what we know is possible.
We have that kind of opportunity with Senator Obama.
It isn't that the other candidates are not experienced or knowledgeable.
But this year, that may not be enough.
We need a change in the leadership of this country — just as we did in 1960.
Most of us would prefer to base our voting decision on policy differences.
However, the candidates' goals are similar.
They have all laid out detailed plans on everything from strengthening our middle class to investing in early childhood education.
So qualities of leadership, character and judgment play a larger role than usual.
Senator Obama has demonstrated these qualities throughout his more than two decades of public service, not just in the United States Senate but in Illinois, where he helped turn around struggling communities, taught constitutional law and was an elected state official for eight years.
And Senator Obama is showing the same qualities today.
He has built a movement that is changing the face of politics in this country, and he has demonstrated a special gift for inspiring young people — known for a willingness to volunteer, but an aversion to politics — to become engaged in the political process.
I have spent the past five years working in the New York City public schools and have three teenage children of my own.
There is a generation coming of age that is hopeful, hard-working, innovative and imaginative.
But too many of them are also hopeless, defeated and disengaged.
As parents, we have a responsibility to help our children to believe in themselves and in their power to shape their future.
Senator Obama is inspiring my children, my parents' grandchildren, with that sense of possibility.
Senator Obama is running a dignified and honest campaign.
He has spoken eloquently about the role of faith in his life, and opened a window into his character in two compelling books.
And when it comes to judgment, Barack Obama made the right call on the most important issue of our time by opposing the war in Iraq from the beginning.
I want a president who understands that his responsibility is to articulate a vision and encourage others to achieve it; who holds himself, and those around him, to the highest ethical standards; who appeals to the hopes of those who still believe in the American Dream, and those around the world who still believe in the American ideal; and who can lift our spirits, and make us believe again that our country needs every one of us to get involved.
I have never had a president who inspired me the way people tell me that my father inspired them.
But for the first time, I believe I have found the man who could be that president — not just for me, but for a new generation of Americans.

Good morning, Hallan.
Good morning, Robert.
Good morning, everyone.
The subject for today is: HONOR Honor is the evaluation of a person’s trustworthiness based on that individual's actions.
Honor is what determines a person's character: whether or not the person reflects honesty , respect , integrity , or fairness, or in other words their code of honor.
Honor is as real to the human condition as love , and likewise derives from the formative personal bonds that establish one's personal dignity and character .
Traditionally, in western society, honor figures largely as a guiding principle.
An emphasis on the importance of honor exists in institutions such as the military.
Honor in the case of females was frequently related, historically, to sexuality : preservation of honor equated primarily to maintenance of virginity of unattached women and to the exclusive monogamy of the remainder.
One can speculate that feminism has changed some linguistic usage in this respect.
Conceptions of honor vary widely between cultures; in some cultures, honor killing of mostly female members of one's own family are considered justified if the individuals have defiled the family's honor by marrying against the family's wishes, or even by being the victims of rape .
These honor killings are generally seen in the West as a way of men using the culture of honor to control female sexuality.
In a culture of law there is a body of laws which must be obeyed by all, with punishments for transgressors.
This requires a society with the structures required to enact and enforce laws.
A culture of law incorporates an unwritten social contract: members of society agree to give up most of their rights to defend themselves and retaliate for injuries, on the understanding that transgressors will be apprehended and punished by society.
Cultures of honor also flourish in criminal underworlds and gangs , whose members carry large amounts of cash and contraband and cannot complain to the law if it is stolen.
Once a culture of honor exists, it is difficult for its members to make the transition to a culture of law.
In lands such as Japan , honor was always seen as a duty.
When you lost your honor or the situation made you lose it, there was only one way to save your dignity: death.
In the western world there are cultures who still stick to old values.
Fear mongering, although not an honorable deed, is often used in a time of war as a political tactic to frighten citizens and influence their political views.
Fear mongering in the United States surfaced most prominently during the era of McCarthyism , when the nation first faced the threat of nuclear attack.
Eventually, Senator Joseph McCarthy lost his honor and was censored by his peers in the U.S.
Senate.
However, since then, politicians and pundits alike are still utilizing dishonorably the powerful influential impact that fear can have on American voters.
Fear of terrorism born from the September 11th attacks has been arguably exploited by incumbent politicians to maintain their control of the House, Senate, and executive branch of the government.
Humanity should be reminded as per Jozef Beck: “There is only one thing in the lives of men, nations and countries that is without price.
That thing is honor.” “Onè-respè” as the Haitian people say.
Thank you Hallan, Robert and everyone.
That’s all for today.
All the best, Carl Fombrun 1,000,000 PEOPLE HELPED BY CUBA ’S OPERATION MIRACLE HAVANA , Cuba .
Cuban Health Minister Jose Ramon Balaguer said on Wednesday that the Operation Miracle free eye-surgery program led by Cuba and Venezuela not only allows people to recover or improve their sight but it also represents a new hope for change in the world and human beings.
Cuban Health Minister, Jose Ramon Balaguer In a ceremony held at the Convention Center in Havana on Wednesday, Balaguer gave diplomas signed by Cuban President Fidel Castro to several national organizations and institutions that have actively participated in the initiative, thanks to which more than one million people from 31 countries have already recovered or improved their sight.
"You must be proud to be part of this strategic task and this feeling should help you all become better revolutionaries," the minister said.
He recalled that Fidel Castro has dedicated his entire life to the well-being of humanity and, with ideas such as Operation Miracle, he has proven that the world can be changed into a better place and that millions of people who now lack medical care can be saved.
He stressed that these feelings have permeated the thoughts of thousands of youths from other nations who currently study on the island, particularly at the Latin American School of Medicine, who are willing to do things in favor of their peoples once they graduate in Cuba .
Balaguer noted that patients who have been treated for cataracts and other eye afflictions not only thank the Cuban health personnel for having their sight back but also for the human treatment they have received.
CASTRO SAYS HE THOUGHT DEATH WAS BECKONING IN 2006 Fidel Castro Ruiz HAVANA, Cuba.- Aging Cuban leader Fidel Castro disclosed to Cuba's official media Thursday that when he was taken gravely ill 18 months ago, he thought he was dying.
The health of Cuba 's leader is considered a national security issue and few details about his gastrointestinal surgery and recovery process have been made public to Cubans -- most of whom have known no other leader in their lifetimes.
But "when I took seriously ill the night of July 26 and early morning of July 27, I thought it would be the end," Castro wrote in an editorial in Granma, the Cuban Communist Party newspaper.
"As the physicians fought to save my life, the Council of State secretary read the text back to me at my request and I dictated the arrangements to be made," added Castro, now 81.
Castro, who had just returned from a trip to Argentina, was also feverishly revising the final draft of a book considered his final political statement.
"During those days I hardly slept," Castro said, obsessed on revisions of a book titled 'One Hundred Hours with Fidel.' The book was written by Franco-Spaniard Ignacio Ramonet based on interviews with the Cuban leader carried out between 2003 and 2005.
Four days after taking ill Castro, who took power as a young lawyer in 1959, handed over the reins of Cuba's government temporarily to his brother Raul Castro, the regime's number two, now acting president and defense chief.
Interim president Raul Castro said January 20 the National Assembly would elect Cuba 's next president February 24, amid speculation Fidel Castro might not be its choice for the first time in almost five decades.
Fidel Castro was among 614 uncontested candidates for the legislature in the uncontested January elections which will name 31 lawmakers to the Council of State that chooses the president.
"Its obvious that (Fidel Castro) has been very successful in the recovery process, but he has the right to say yes or no" to whether he will stay on as president, if reelected in February, Cuba 's National Assembly speaker Ricardo Alarcon told The New York Times Wednesday.
Cubans for months have been anxious for news on whether Fidel Castro would resume power or formally step aside.
Some speculate Raul Castro might become president on a permanent basis or that another top regime official might move up the ladder technically ending Fidel Castro's official dominance of the regime.
Few, however, doubt Fidel would remain influential in the latter case.
While Castro appears to be in better health than a year ago, many Cuba-watchers believe he will not be able to resume the full, wide-ranging powers he used to wield.
Some analysts believe he might continue to remain head of state on paper, essentially acting as a kind of behind-the-scenes guardian of the 1959 revolution while leaving other top communist officials to deal with the day-to-day work.
Others do not rule out the possibility he could step aside before or on February 24.
LULA OF BRAZIL Reflections by Fidel Castro Ruiz Lula spontaneously decided to visit Cuba for the second time since he became President of Brazil, even though the state of my health did not guarantee that he would be able to meet with me.
In the past, as he himself said, he visited the Island almost every year.
I met him on the occasion of the first anniversary of the Sandinista Revolution at the home of Sergio Ramírez who at that time was the Vice President of that country.
By the way, I would say that Ramírez fooled me, in some way.
When I read his book, Divine Punishment "an excellent narrative" I came to believe that it was a real case that had happened in Nicaragua , with that legal nuisance so common in the former Spanish colonies; he himself told me one day that it was pure fiction.
There I also met with Frei Betto who today is a critic, but not an enemy, of Lula, as well as with Father Ernesto Cardenal, a militant leftist Sandinista and, today, an adversary of Daniel.
The two writers were part of the Theology of Liberation, a progressive trend which we always saw as a great step towards unity between revolutionaries and the poor, beyond their philosophy and their beliefs, in accordance with the specific conditions of struggle in Latin America and the Caribbean.
Nonetheless, I must confess that I perceived in Father Ernesto Cardenal, unlike others in the Nicaraguan leadership, an image of sacrifice and privations resembling that of a medieval monk.
He was a true prototype of purity.
I leave aside others less consistent, who were at one time revolutionaries, including militants of the far left in Central America and other areas, who later, anxious about their well-being and money, crossed over, part and parcel, to the ranks of the empire.
What does all this have to do with Lula?
A lot.
He was never a left-wing extremist, nor did he become a revolutionary through philosophical studies but rather he came from very humble working class roots and Christian beliefs, and he worked hard creating surplus value for others.
Karl Marx saw the workers as the ones who would bury the capitalist system: "Workers of the world unite," he proclaimed.
He presents us with reasons and demonstrates this with irrefutable logic; he takes pleasure and makes fun of the cynical lies used to accuse Communists.
If the ideas of Marx were just at that time, when everything seemed to depend on the class struggle and the growth of the productive forces, science and technology, that supported the creation of essential goods to satisfy human necessities, there are absolutely new factors which say that he was right and which at the same time clash with his noble aims.
New necessities have arisen which could destroy the aims of a society with neither exploiters nor exploited.
Among these new necessities we have that of human survival.
No one had even heard about climate change in Marx?s day and age.
He and Engels surely knew that one day the sun would be extinguished as it consumed all of its energy.
A few years after the Manifesto was written, other men were born who made inroads in science and knowledge about the laws of chemistry, physics and biology ruling the Universe and unknown then.
Into whose hands would this knowledge fall?
Although it continues in its development and even improves, and again partially denies and contradicts its own theories, new knowledge is not in the hands of the poor nations who today make up three-quarters of the world's population.
It is in the hands of a privileged group of wealthy and developed capitalist powers, associated with the most powerful empire ever to exist, built on the bases of a globalized economy, governed by the very laws of capitalism described by Marx and thoroughly studied by him.
Nowadays, as humankind still suffers from these realities due to the very dialectics of events, we must confront these dangers.
How did the revolutionary process in Cuba develop?
Quite a bit has been written in our press in recent weeks about different episodes of that period.
Great respect has been shown for various historical dates on the days corresponding to anniversaries that commemorate years ending in a five or a zero.
That is fair, but we must be careful, in the sum-total of so many occurrences described in each newspaper or article, according to their criteria, lest we lose sight of them in the context of the historical development of our Revolution, despite the efforts of all those excellent analysts that we have.
For me, unity means sharing in the struggle, the risks, the sacrifices, the aims, ideas, concepts and strategies, assumed after discussion and analysis.
Unity means a common struggle against annexationists, quislings and corrupt individuals who have nothing in common with a militant revolutionary.
It is to this unity revolving around the idea of independence and against the empire as it advances over the peoples of the Americas that I always referred to.
A few days ago, I once again read it when Granma published it on the eve of our election day, and Juventud Rebelde reproduced a facsimile of my thoughts on the idea, in my own handwriting.
The old pre-revolutionary slogan of unity has nothing to do with the concept, because in our country today we do not have political organizations seeking power.
We have to avoid that, in the enormous sea of tactical criteria, strategic lines become diluted and we imagine nonexistent situations.
In a country invaded by the United States while involved in a solitary struggle for independence as the last Spanish colony, together with our sister Puerto Rico , "birds of a feather" nationalist feelings ran very deep.
The real producers of sugar who were the recently freed slaves and the peasants, many of whom fought in the Liberation Army, transformed into squatters or completely lacking any land of their own, who were pitched into the sugarcane harvests in the great estates created by United States companies or Cuban land-owners who inherited, bought or stole land, were adequate material for revolutionary ideas.
Julio Antonio Mella, founder of the Communist Party together with Baliño who knew Martí and who, with him, created the party that would lead Cuba to independence- took up the banner, brought to it all the enthusiasm derived from the October Revolution, and gave this cause his own blood, that of a young intellectual conquered by revolutionary ideas.
The Communist blood of Jesús Menéndez would join that of Mella 18 years later.
We, teenagers and youths, studying in private schools had not even heard of Mella.
Our class or social group, having incomes greater that those of the rest of the population, condemned us as human beings to be the selfish and the exploiters of society.
I had the privilege of coming to the revolution through ideas, escaping the boring fate that life was leading me to.
I explained why at another moment; now, I remember this only in the context of what I am writing.
Hatred for Batista's repression and his crimes was so great that nobody paid heed to the ideas I expressed in my defense at the Court in Santiago de Cuba, where there was even a book by Lenin printed in the USSR "coming from the credit I had at the People's Socialist Party bookstore at Carlos III in Havana" found among the combatants' belongings.
"Whoever hasn't read Lenin, is an ignorant", I blurted out during the interrogation at the first sessions of the oral hearing when they brought it up as a damning bit of evidence.
They were still trying me together with all of the surviving prisoners.
It would be hard to understand what I am saying if one doesn't keep in mind that at the time we attacked the Moncada, on July 26, 1953, --an action made possible by the organizational efforts of more than a year, with nobody on our side other than ourselves-- the policies of Stalin, who had died suddenly a few months earlier, prevailed in the USSR.
He was an honest and devoted Communist, who would later make serious mistakes leading him to extremely conservative and cautious positions.
If a Revolution like ours had succeeded at that time, the USSR would not have done for Cuba what the Soviet leadership did years later, liberated by then from those murky and tortuous methods, and enthused by the Socialist Revolution that burst on the scene in our country.
I understood that very well in spite of the fair criticisms I made of Khrushchev as a result of events that were well known at the time.
The USSR had the most powerful army among all those contending in World War II, but unfortunately it was purged and demobilized.
Its leader underestimated Hitler's threats and bellicose theories.
From the very capital of Japan , an important and prestigious Soviet intelligence agent had communicated the imminence of the attack on June 22, 1941.
This surprised the country which was not in combat readiness.
Many officers were on leaves.
Even without their most experienced unit leaders --who were replaced-- if they had been alerted and deployed, the Nazis would have clashed with powerful forces from the very first second and they wouldn't have destroyed most of the fighter planes as they sat on the ground.
Even worse than the purge, was the surprise.
The Soviet soldiers did not surrender when they were told about enemy tanks in the rearguard, the way the other armies from capitalist Europe did.
In the most critical moments, with sub-zero temperatures, the Siberian patriots started the lathes in the weapons factories that Stalin had far-sightedly moved to the inner reaches of Soviet territory.
As the leaders of the USSR themselves told me when I visited that great country in April 1963, the revolutionary Russian combatants --well seasoned against foreign interventions aimed at destroying the Bolshevik Revolution, which was left blockaded and isolated-- had established relations and exchanged experiences with German officers, those with a Prussian militarist tradition, humiliated by the Treaty of Versailles which put an end to World War I.
The SS intelligence services devised schemes against many who were, in their vast majority, loyal to the Revolution.
Motivated by suspicions that turned pathological, Stalin purged 3 of his 5 Marshals, 13 of the 15 Army Commanders, 8 of the 9 Admirals, 50 of the 57 Army Corps Commanders, 154 of 186 Division Commanders, one hundred percent of Army Commissars, and 25 of 28 Army Corps Commissars of the Soviet Red Army in the years preceding the Great Patriotic War.
The USSR paid for those serious mistakes with enormous destruction and more than 20 million lives lost; some claim it was 27 million.
In 1943, with some delay, the last Nazi spring offensive was launched at the famous and tempting Kursk Bulge, with 900 thousand soldiers, 2700 tanks and 2000 planes.
The Soviets, experts in enemy psychology, laid in wait in that trap for the sure attack, with one million and 200 thousand men, 3300 tanks, 2400 planes and 20,000 artillery pieces.
Led by Zhukov and Stalin himself, they destroyed Hitler's last offensive.
In 1945, Soviet soldiers advanced unstoppable to capture the German Reich Chancellery in Berlin where they hoisted the red flag stained with the blood of the many fallen.
I observe Lula's red tie for a minute and I ask him, did Chávez give you that?
He smiles and answers: Now I am going to send him some shirts because he is complaining that the collars on his shirts are too hard, and I am going to look for them in Bahía so that I can make him a present of them.
He asked that I give him some of the photos I took.
When he said that he was very impressed with my health, I told him that I spent my time thinking and writing.
Never in my life had I thought so much.
I told him that, at the end of my visit to Córdoba, Argentina, where I had attended a meeting with many leaders, and he had been there as well, I came back, and then I took part in two ceremonies for the July 26th Anniversary.
I was checking over Ramonet's book.
I had answered all his questions.
I had not taken the thing too seriously.
I had thought that it would be a quick thing, like the interviews with Frei Betto and Tomás Borge.
And then I became a slave to the French writer's book, when it was at the point of being published without my going over it, with some of the answers being a bit off the cuff.
I barely slept during those days.
When I fell gravely ill on the night of the 26th and in the early morning of the 27th of July, I thought that would be the end, and while the doctors were fighting for my life, the head of the Council of State Office was reading me the text, at my insistence, and I was dictating the pertinent changes.

http://realestate2day.blogspot.com/ Florida Governor Charlie Crist with Carl Fombrun GOVERNOR CRIST ASKS TO: VOTE YES ON Amendment 1 January 29th Presidential Primary Ballot Questions Property Tax Reform Qualifying Deadlines Elected Property Appraiser "Vote YES on 1" www.yeson1florida.com http://www.miamidade.gov/pa/ State Constitutional Revision Property Tax Reform Vote Yes on One - Doubles the Homestead Exemption from $25,000 to $50,000 - Makes "Save our Homes" property tax cap portable - take it with you when you move - Cuts property taxes for businesses - new $25,000 exemption for "tangible personal property" FLORIDIANS NEED PROPERTY TAX RELIEF - NOW!
Property taxes in Florida have more than doubled in the past six years and local government budgets are growing faster than our residents' ability to pay for them.
Gov.
Charlie Crist, Speaker Marco Rubio, FAR & RAMB know that this is not enough, but the Jan.
29th amendment is the first step towards meaningful relief - immediately!
Amendment 1 - IS CRITICAL TO THE FUTURE OF OUR RESIDENTS Passage of Amendment 1 will return money to homeowners right away and put almost $10 billion back into Florida 's economy.
Vote Yes On 1 to secure property tax cuts that are simple, fair, and guaranteed .
Vote YES on County Question No.
1 - Qualifying Deadlines Shall the Charter be amended to move the candidate qualifying period for certain Miami-Dade County elected offices three weeks earlier, in accordance with State law.
Vote yes.
Vote YES on County Question No.
2 - Elected Property Appraiser Shall the Charter be amended to provide for the transfer of the duties of the County Property Appraiser from a person appointed and supervised by the Mayor to a person elected and subject to recall by the voters?
Vote yes.
Miami-Dade County is the only county of the 67 counties in the state that has an appointed property appraiser. If we had an elected property appraiser, he/she would be more accountable to the voters, and not the politicians.
Amendment 1: What's in it for Me?
Personal Reflections by Abigail Vladeck, Policy Director, Human Services Coalition Submitted as a letter to The Miami Herald Voters right now are being given a false choice - between bad and worse.
There's no question that we have a tax crisis in Florida .
When the bottom 20% of wage-earners pay almost five times more in taxes as a portion of their income than the wealthiest 1%, we are most certainly in a tax crisis.
But we're being given a false choice in how to resolve this crisis.
We're being told that tax relief can only be targeted to the people who already have exemptions carved out for them in our state constitution (i.e.
homeowners).
But what about the 41% of us in Miami-Dade County who rent - and who are most likely to fall into that 20% of people with the highest tax burden?
I see no relief for us in the compromise amendment that voters will vote on in the January 29 election.
I'm a renter and one day I hope to be a homebuyer, and this amendment does nothing for me other than make it harder for schools in my neighborhood to get supplies, force my city to cut down on beach cleanings, and increase the amount of time it could take for a first responder to get to me if there's an emergency.
What about me?
My landlord is nice enough, but you can be sure that when his taxes go up, my rent will, too - making this amendment a lose-lose proposition for me.
I'll be affected by the budget cuts, and see none of the tax savings.
Because of what the legislature mandated in session last spring, Miami-Dade County had to cut over $200 million from its budget this year, and I'll tell you something: it wasn't fat that they cut.
It was money for community-based organizations like the Human Services Coalition, that provide vital services to the most vulnerable members of our community.
It was a cut to the amount of money put in the reserve fund, which will help us recover quickly if we are hit by another devastating hurricane.
It was a cut to the libraries which provide de facto after-school services for too many of our youth, to parks programs, to fire rescue services, to organizations that bring meals to the homebound elderly.
The County is now telling us that, if Amendment 1 passes, it will mean another $100 million in these kinds of cuts.
Is $20 a month - 66 cents a day - in savings for homeowners worth it?
We need comprehensive tax reform, but it needs to be just that: a complete overhaul of an imbalanced system that places an unfair burden on working families, while cutting services to them first when times get hard.

Mon cher Carl, Je suis avec beaucoup d'intérêt ton cours d'histoire en créole sur les premières années du régime barbare de Francois Duvalier LE TYRAN et je t'en remercie.Sa criminalité était criarde et évidente dès ses premiers jours comme l'indique la création de son groupe de tueurs surnommés avec raison "LES CAGOULARS", par ce que, la nuit venue, ces gens se couvraient le visage d'une cagoule avant d'aller commettre leurs crimes contre d'innocentes victimes.
Carl, tout le pays avait peur à ce moment-là et pour cause.
Les gens étaient terrorisées par les actes criminels du régime de Francois Duvalier.
Il y a eu cependant des exceptions.
Il y a eu en particulier cette personne qui allait se distinguer par un courage extraordinaire et qui allait, au prix de sa vie, exiger du gouvernement sanguinaire de Francois Duvalier le respect des droits de tous les haitiens de toutes les couches sociales.
A cause de sa bravoure le peuple haitien va le surnommer à juste titre "LE CHEVALIER SANS PEUR ET SANS REPROCHE".
Carl peux-tu nous dire le nom de cette personne et ce que tu sais de son action?
Cette question s'adresse également à tous les historiens haitiens de cette époque.
Keep up the good job, Carl.
Il est vrai de dire avec l'autre "qu'un peuple qui n'a pas de mémoire n'a pas d'histoire et est condamné a commettre constamment les mêmes erreurs et à retourner constamment à ses vomissures".
C'est malheureusement le cas pour nous autres haitiens, ce peuple sans mémoire que nous sommes devenus, toutes couches sociales confondues.
ANNÉE 2008, ANNÉE DE LA SOLIDARITÉ !
ANNÉE 2008, ANNÉE DES REVENDICATIONS !
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH !
Bien à toi Carl, Sonny Séraphin ( Taiwan ) sonny_seraphin@yahoo.com PROMOTEUR DE CHAMPIGNONS MÉDICINAUX ANTI-CANCER A TRAVERS LE RENFORCEMENT DU SYSTÈME IMMUNITAIRE.
Merci, Sonny.
Je suis curieux de savoir qui était ce CHEVALIER SANS PEUR ET SANS REPROCHE dans ta pensée. Je sais qu'il y avait Antonio Rodriguez, propriétaire de OSO BLANCO, la boucherie face au palais national, émettant secrètement la RADIO VONVON.
Antonio Rodriguez, marié à une haitienne, était aussi l’ambassadeur officiel de Fidel Castro à Port-au-Prince, marié à une haitienne, entouré des “barbudos” de la révolution cubaine qui donna du fil à retordre à Clément Barbot et Papa Doc.
Si pas seulement Antonio, un grand ami des frères Fombrun, prière de rafraîchir ma mémoire avec d’autres chevaliers sans peur et sans reproche.
Mes page te sont ouvertes et je suis toutes oreilles.
Bien à toi, Carl RECU DE “RICHE” PERODIN Floride Bonjour Carl, Voudrais-tu partager avec tes lecteurs ce qui sauté de ce transfert?
Je suppose que la nouvelle a déjà fait du chemin.
N'empêche que la diffuser davantage en vaut la peine, à mon sens.
Pour moi c'est encore une autre raison de croire que l'espoir renaitra là-bas.
Un pays ne meurt pas, ce sont les hommes qui meurent.
Chez nous il sont partis pour la plupart, mais pas tous au “pays sans chapeau.” Ils reviendront donc, en grand nombre, et peut-être ils circuleront dans des voitures haitiennes. N'est-ce-pas déjà un bonheur d’oser rêver au bonheur, pour répéter un des frères Nau de la littérature haitienne?
Bonne fin de semaine. Riche HAITI-AUTO: UN HAITIEN PRÉSENTE UNE QUATRE ROUES MONTÉE EN HAITI .
Janvier 2008 Entretien avec Jacques Alex Ambroise, le médecin constructeur du tout 1er véhicule quatre roues en Haïti.
Médecin, passionné de la mécanique, Jacques Alex Ambroise est le 1er à avoir finalisé la construction d'une voiture quatre roues en Haïti.
Sa « Lexi », a été présentée au public le 13 janvier 2008 au parc Historique de Tabarre.
HPN : Vous êtes médecin, comment vous expliquez votre passion pour les véhicules?
J.A.B : J'ai toujours eu une passion pour la mécanique et le bricolage en général.
Je ne peux pas vraiment expliquer, c'est inné… HPN : Etes-vous le premier à avoir monté ou fabriqué une voiture en Haïti ?
Qu'est-ce que cela représente pour vous?
J.A.B : Je ne suis pas vraiment le premier à avoir fabriqué une voiture en Haïti.
Avant moi par exemple, au début des années 1980, Guy Potel avait réalisé une « Formule » (monoplace destinée à la course).
Et cette voiture existe encore quoique n'étant plus en état de fonctionnement.
J'ai également connu un ou deux groupes qui ont essayé, mais se sont arrêtés en cours de route pour diverses raisons.
Ceci dit, je suis peut être le premier à avoir finalisé mon projet de construire une voiture en Haïti avec un certain niveau de finition acceptable.
HPN : Pourriez-vous retracer pour nous l'histoire de votre voiture la « Lexi »?
J.A.B : Longue histoire : après plusieurs années passées à nourrir le projet, je commençais en novembre 2003 la construction d'un prototype à trois roues (2 à l'avant et une à l'arrière) avec un moteur bicylindre, 500cc de kawasaki (motocyclette).
Ce prototype ayant fonctionné, j'ai voulu amélioré le concept.
Un mois après, je construisais déjà le modèle définitif à trois roues.
Cette « Lexi » à trois roues a circulé durant 6 mois.
Je l'ai même utilisée à une époque comme véhicule de tous les jours.
Ensuite j'ai du partir deux ans en province, pour l'internat et le service social (je vous rappelle que je suis médecin…).
A mon retour, en attendant de trouver du travail, je me suis remis à la mécanique.
La « Lexi » à quatres roues allait naître : châssis en profilés, suspension avant entièrement indépendante, moteur à quatre cylindres (1200 cc) de Honda Civic, quatre freins à disques, etc.
J'ai moi-même réalisé la confection du châssis, des pièces de suspension à l'avant et l'assemblage des autres composantes, tous les détails, jusqu'aux circuits électriques.
HPN : Vous avez été honoré au « Salon de la voiture » au Parc historique le 13 janvier, qu'est ce cela vous fait et comment vous avez apprécié cette exposition ?
J.A.B : Je ne suis pas le seul a avoir été honoré.
En fait, tous ceux qui m'ont encouragé au cours des différentes étapes du projet ont eux aussi été honorés.
C'est une satisfaction inexprimable.
Il est impensable que j'aie pu être pris en compte aux côtés de modèles classiques de luxe parfaitement rénovés ou de modèles contemporains hors concours.
Les concurrentes étaient de taille, il y a de quoi être fier !
Quant a l'organisation du show, il est certain que l'initiative est a féliciter et à encourager.
Toutefois, il nous faudra à l'avenir améliorer certains détails.
Par exemple: -Déterminer des catégories spécifiques (classiqes, voitures récentes personnalisées, fabrications locales,etc.) -Protéger les voitures des agressions du public et surtout des enfants.
HPN : Vous ne comptez pas en restez-là ?
J.B.A : En terme de perspectives, j'ai certainement d'autres projets en cours, mais celui qui me tient le plus à cœur est de réunir à travers une association (un club) différents groupes désireux de réaliser ce genre de projets.
Et, je profite de cet article pou leur lancer l'invitation.
REMARQUES DE CARL Le jeune haitien-américain, Ralph Gilles , qui a désigné l’un des derniers modèles de la compagnie Chrysler à Détroit, pourrait peut-être participer à ce club exclusif d’affiliés automobilistes, que compte former en Haiti le Dr.
Jacques Alex Ambroise. Bonne chance.

RECU DU DR.
ROGER QUALO New York L'ENFANCE INITIALE Allo Carl, Ma naissance survint durant le règne d'Estimé, après la faillite financière de la maison commerciale des Qualo .
Je ne sais pas encore dans quelles circonstances que ma mère rencontra mon père, car elle qui est encore en vie est reluctante à raconter l'histoire familiale et se méfie de l'internet qui serait trop public.
Tout ce que je sais est que celui qui devait etre le futur président d'Haiti, avant ma naissance, le respectable citoyen Dumarsais Estimé venait, tous les soirs, jouer aux cartes - le "Bezig" - a la maison familiale en compagnie de Grand-Père- le citoyen Léonce Qualo , des citoyens Daniel Théard et Jule Simon et de Watson Telson , pour ne citer que ceux-la.
Mon père.
Roger Rigaud, était, probablement, à cette époque, un officier ou un cadet de l'armée d'Haiti ou il aurait suivi, dans la profession, son frère ainé, Pierre Rigaud, et c'est, probablement, parce qu'il etait chargé de la garde du président qu'il a pu faire la connaissance de ma mère.
Jeune homme cultivé, courtois et élégant, il ne tarda pas à séduire celle qui fut la plus élégante des filles Qualos (elles avaient été cinq).
Le renversement précoce d'Estimé et la présidence d'Haiti ayant été assurée par une junte militaire, dirigée par le général Paul Eugène Magloire , fut déconcertant pour la famille et Grand-Père ne tarda pas à succomber à un cancer intestinal, laissant l'officier Roger Rigaud qui etait monté, très vite, en grade, sous Estimé, tout d'abord, puis, un bout de temps, sous Magloire, comme principal acteur de la suite de ces relations initiales.
Ce qu'il me semble est que mon père faisait de son mieux pour rester dans le courant tumultueux de la politique haitienne , et ce ne fut qu'à la chute de Magloire et a la défaite consécutive de son candidat, Clément Jumelle, qu'il y perdit définitivement pied pour laisser d'autres camarades comme Antoine Hérard avec qui il avait dirigé la Radio Port-au-Prince ." Par ailleurs, Duvalier aurait dit dans Les Oeuvres Essentielles qu'il était né au Bel Air; ce quartier a été, autrefois, un beau coin de la capitale qui fut entouré, plus tard, de bidonvilles, un sort réservé a tous les beaux quartiers de la capitale ; des lors, Duvalier ne serait pas né proletarian, et ceci expliquerait sa présence à l'unique faculté de médecine de ce pays, à l'époque, avant la fin de "la politique de classe et de couleur"." COUTUME SOCIALE Une coutume sociale est de donner un nouveau né en parrainage à un membre apprécié de l'environnement.
"Plus on est parrain ou marraine de nouveaux-nés", plus le prestige social est grand.
Ma mère adoptive, Mademoiselle Lolotte Lafontant, fut l'une de ces personnalités.
Elle avait été surnommée "marraine", en conséquence.
Ma mère générique a également baptisé beaucoup d'enfants de la famille, tels que Claude, Mie Josée (décédée) et d'autres vraisemblablement.
Personnellement, je n'ai baptisé que la fille cadette de ma soeur adoptive.
Mademoiselle Lafontant avait joui d'un grand prestige social dans son environnement.
Elle avait été une grande prêtesse vaudoue, et une très bonne âme, ce qui est contradiction à ce que beaucoup de chrétiens pensent du vaudou; elle avait été aussi la marraine de pas mal de nouveaux-nés.
Ses parents avait été de riches Lafontants de la région de Jacmel et, après leur mort, elle avait eu la supervision de leurs nombreuses terres laissées en héritage dans la région.
Dans la cour de Jasmin, à Sous-Dalles, un faubourg de Port-au-Prince, adossé à la montagne environnante, chaque mois de Juillet, de nombreux membres de la famile et des familles apparentées, comme les Qualo, apparentées aux Lafontant du côté de grand-mère, Francine Lacroix, les Surpris, les Archer, les Benoit, les Duroseau ("tante" Germaine) et d'autres venaient assister à sa présidence des cérémonies coutumières, polythéistes et un peu animistes, annuelles, qui avaient été dominées par les femmes prêtesses, mais animées par le tam-tam des hommes.
Une fois, même, je m'en rappelle assez bien, mon père, feu le colonel Roger Rigaud, qui avait été, à cette époque, le chef de la police nationale et un bras droit de Paul Eugène Magloire, était venu en voiture "jeep" militaire (je ne sais si la prononciation est exacte) jusqu'au site du honfort, là où aucune voiture n'avait, auparavant, pu arriver.
A bientôt.
Porte toi bien.
Roger.
RECU DE Henry Delva, Ph.D = Plus haut Delva Californie Mon cher Carl, Concernant les vues irrationnelles du Premier Ministre de l’Australie, John Howard, publiées en anglais dans le COIN DE CARL des 26, 27, 28 janvier 2008, elles sont certainement exagérées.
L'Amérique du Nord a dû abolir ces principes, dits démocratiques, pour se lancer vers un système politique plus tolérant.
L'Australie est un pays d'un racisme écrasant; leurs aborigènes peuvent en témoigner.
Naturellement, sous les drapeaux et la Croix toutes sortes d'ignominies peuvent être cachées et même en trouver, la Sainte Bible en main, une justification des plus insultantes.
Mes vues sont basées sur des principes humains et c'est peut être la raison pourquoi j'habite les États-Unis d’amérique, ce beau pays, ou je peux m’exprimer dans la langue de mon choix, servir Dieu ou les fétiches.
Liberté, divine liberté, je chante pour toi, mais il convient de dire que c'est au fond du silence que se trouve la vraie sagesse.
Accolade.
Henry Delva.
RECU DE MYRIAM NADER New York Merci Don Carlito!
Merci Elsy pour cette chaude note de bienvenue écrite sur le COIN DE CARL du 26, 27, 28 janvier 2008 ! Nous devons à notre cher ami en commun, Don Carlito, le plaisir de s’être connues!
Merci encore Don Carlito de nous avoir connecté!
QUI M'AIME ME SUIVE!
“Miyami two dous, Elsy!
” Don Carlito, s'il te plaît corrige l'orthographe de mon créole.
“I Speak creole but I don't write creole.” Le peu de créole que j'arrive à écrire a été acquis à force de lire le COIN DE CARL.
Les Soeurs de Sainte Rose de Lima nous punissaient si toutefois elles nous entendaient parler créole entre nous.
De nos jours, le créole est parlé, écrit, et lu à Sainte Rose de Lima.
Vive le progrès de l'instruction!

Tu seras donc ma représentante si l’opportunitér se présente. Toujours plus haut!
Entre autres, j’arrive à New York le vendredi 8 mars 2008 à 11 heures du matin.

BUSH?
(Jean Benjamin) MA RÉPONSE Georges W.
Bush est le président sélectionné des États-Unis jusqu'en Novembre 2008 prochain.
Il s'agit pour les américains d'avoir, cette fois, un président élu après cette date.
Georges W.
Bush est un agent provocateur et il est loin d'être un unificateur.
Il dirige les États-Unis comme un comté de la ville imaginaire Dodge City du passé, avec ses bottes de cowboy du Texas, et ceinturé d’une boucle que le populo cite avec grivoiserie de “grosse boucle, petit organe”.
Bush a aliéné pas mal d’amis Européens traditionels des États Unis.
La dynastie Bush date du granpère qui était sénateur Républicain de l'état du Connecticut , du père l'ex-président George H.W.
(no.
41), de Georges W.
Bush lui-même (no.
43) et actuel president sélectionné, de Jeb, son jeune frère, ex-gouverneur de l'état de la Floride, et deux autres frères qui gardent l’anonymat, dont l’un avait une conduite plutôt louche dans le monde des affaires.
Georges W.
Bush avait promis, lors des élections de l'an 2000, de ne pas inclure les États-Unis dans la re-construction d'autres nations.
Après près de 8 ans de l'administration Bush, l'Oncle Sam ajoute à sa longue liste d’occupant: Afghanisan, Irak, et Haiti .
Je suis un citoyen américain résidant dans ce grand pays depuis plus de 60 ans.
De descendance haitienne, que puis-je vous dire au sujet de Georges W.
Bush et ses relations avec Haiti?
Il me faut avouer tout d'abord, Haiti est un pays troublé depuis plus de 200 ans, dû à une naissance violente, suivie en grande partie par l'indifférence des grandes puissances et à la mauvaise foi de ses dirigeants.
Georges W.
Bush n'a fait que destabiliser Haiti pendant les presque 8 années de sa gérance au timon des affaires à Washington .
Concernant l'Irak et l’Afghanistan plus de 3,000 soldats américains ont été tués, et ces mortalités continuent au jour le jour, sans compter des centaines de milliers de blessés.
Quand au bien être matériel du peuple américain, ce n'est un secret pour personne que la Bourse à Wall Street est souvent en chute libre avec un dollar moribond, où les bénéfices des pensionnaires sont réduits de même que les soins de santé.
Ce que j'avais bénéficié de la Bourse sous Clinton, je l'ai perdu en triple sous Bush.
À 75 ans, un âge certain, je n'ai pas d'intérêts permanents, comme ces vieux incorrigibles et cyniques, hélas!
de la même génération, qui se croient éternels. Je demande simplement à ceux/celles qui ont le droit de vote, votez votre conscience en Novembre 2008 prochain.
Le sauvetage individuel n’est plus de mise depuis bien longtemps avant Papa Doc, quand Hitler fit la le Ç on aux juifs, partisans de son régime, leur apprenant (à leur surprise) qu’en politique la reconnaissance est une lâcheté.
Et voilà!
Vogue la galère.
