IN THE ENGLISH LANGUAGE CARL’S PEARL A man can fail many times, but he isn’t a failure until he begins to blame someone else.
John Burroughs FROM THE DECIDER-IN-CHIEF I think this is a period of transition in Cuba and it’s time for change … CARL’S REMARKS Yes, sir!
it’s also a period of transition in the United States of America , and it’s also time for a change; your name will not be on the ballot this November 2008. God bless! What’s good for the goose is good for the gander.

MIMI GABRIEL writes to Carl.
Hello Carl, We've never met in person, but our families are related as are most Haitian families .
I call your cousins my cousins (Jacques, Daniel, Marie Alice, Marie Claude et Ti Charles are my mother's (Simone Denis Audant) cousin's (Odette Roy Frombrun) children .
I call your nephews and nieces, your cousins my cousins.
That's for the genealogy!
My brother Marcel Audant has sent me several issues of CARL’S CORNER which I always enjoy reading, but for some reason I don't seem to be on your mailing list because I don't receive them any more.
Are you still sending messages regularly?
If so, I'd like to have my name added to the subscribers.
Do you still have your radio show?
I've recently published a book.
Controversial subject.
Infidelity.
True story.
If you want to google it, the title is THE HEART TO FORGIVE - Reclaiming our Relationship after Infidelity.
I had a couple of interviews in Haiti last year- both radio and tv with Sabine Widmaier and Carelle Jean-Baptiste.
Came out quite nicely.
I'm overseas for another few weeks in a different day/time zone ( Indonesia ).
Planning a trip to Miami around mid April to do a vente/signature.
I was wondering if we could meet?
I'd love to get some exposure among the Haitian American community prior to my trip to Miami .
I think radio talk shows are the best way to get the word out.
Could I send you a copy of my book when I return to the US ? I would need a mailing address.
Looking forward to hearing from you.
Sincerely, Mimi Gabriel Mimi Gabriel - Motivation In Motion, International (MIMI) - VOIP: 281-466-4085 Author of THE HEART TO FORGIVE - Reclaiming our Relationship after Infidelity available at www.IUniverse.com , www.Amazon.com or BarnesandNobles.com A friend wrote this after he read my book: "You will never know how much understanding , comfort, strength, and motivation your story will bring to those lost on the highways of life.

Looking forward to see you in Miami .
All the best, Carl RECEIVED FROM Fritz Mondé Carl, Hillary Clinton is representative of the old politicking style in Washington, D.C.
and Obama now considered a front runner has skeletons in his closet, as stated in his book "Dreams of my Father".
Obama represents the cultural diversity that exists and represents America today.
His parentage is African and American caucasian. The racists in this country would call that miscegenation.
The other day a US news service posted a photo of his grandmother back in Kenya , Africa , Barack's homeland, there she stood proud with a placard of Obama in the background and a fowl underneath her arm.
Obama's homeland like many parts of the world is in turmoil, boiling mad with repression, instability and democratic intolerance. How will Obama act as commander-in-chief vis-a-vis the threats facing our country and the wars going on around the world, in the Middle East, the 'Tans', (Afghanistan, Pakistan, maybe Iran), and in Iraq and Africa? The only answer is that, once he is elected, the policies and political platform that he has developed throughout his political life will determine his vision and beliefs. His character and political savvy will demonstrate his ability to influence world politics.
The actions he takes during the first one hundred days in the Oval Office will define the kind of president he will be. I really don't want to hear Senators Hillary Clinton or John McCain say that Obama will not be a strong commander-in-chief simply because he doesn't have the experience, no one really has the experience until they are in the position of president.
It's quite clear that once president, the president will be privy to issues of national and international security, and surrounded by experts and advisors the president will determine what actions are needed that will better serve the interest of the United States. President Bush's presidency historically will be defined by 911, the war on Iraq and the offensive against Al Qaeda, the next president will have his challenges to deal with and then and only then will the mettle and will of the new president be defined and tested. We, as a people of color, have come a long way, from the slave depicted in the Civil War era book, 'Killer Angels', where in the story the slave, wounded, did not know one word in English, only his native African tongue, and trying to survive in Gettysburg, Pennsylvania, during the Civil War's definitive and bloodiest battle that pitched white men against one another, one the southerner defending his, 'rats', (rights), and the others, northerners fighting and dying to stamp out the evil of slavery. We've come a long way since Alex Haley's 'Roots', however and unfortunately today's young black men in inner city neighborhoods across the country wage war with assault rifles killing one another and maiming black families physically and psychologically, all in the name of gangs and the nefarious drug culture that exist. Today the black man is still psychologically shackled and in chains, continually filling up the vast ship that is the U.S.
prison system.
Barack Obama, a black man, an African man is poised on the doorstep of history.
The newspapers have it right, Obama is a movement that cannot be fought by adverse television campaigns from his opponents, or from adverse political rhetoric, which will certainly be used by neo-right wing conservatives from the bible belt parts of the country. All we have to do is to listen to Rush Limbaugh.
I am sure that the nasty war of despicable, disreputable and damaging ad wars will saturate the airwaves, i-pod's and laptops of everyone one who is for Barack Obama and who are following his meteoric rise. What else are we to expect from the Republicans who are so weak that the only candidate they can muster is a war hero who fought and was imprisoned in an unpopular war, and who to prove he is hip uses Barack's words.
John McCain knows that he represents the establishment and that after eight long years Americans are ready for a change, a change that represents the broad and culturally diverse interest that we are. One cannot stop an idea or squelch a movement. Barack's campaign is a tsunami, broad and towering. One of the reasons why the senator from Massachusetts , Ted Kennedy backs Senator Barack Obama is because of Barack's charisma, ideas, vision and his ability to gather the common man and woman, from all spectrums, and unite them. Barack does not only represent the black in America, he represents the color of us all, the color of America's melting pot, the color of hope.
As for Hillary Clinton her message is not clear, it is muddled in a rhetoric that does not represent who America is, rather she represents a chapter in American presidential history we'd rather forget.
Remember the Whitewater investigation, which cost taxpayers millions of dollars, the accusations based on financial improprieties by Hillary Clinton, remember the disappearance of the Whitewater documents centering around the investigation and their eventual discovery in the White House basement.
How about the suicide of White House counsel Vince Foster, which was related to the Whitewater investigation ?
Hillary was also involved in the White House 'Travelgate' controversy as well as the 'Filegate' investigation.
Then we have the painful reminder that she was the only First Lady to be subpoenaed by a federal grand jury to answer questions about her involvement in the Whitewater affair.
Let's not forget her husband, ex-president Bill Clinton, whose sordid affair with a White House intern, Monica Lewinsky, almost led to his impeachment.
Wild Bill did much for America, however shortly after his presidency came to term, the stock market went kaput, the rich and famous in corporate America are now serving time in jail for embezzlement, misappropriation of funds, etc.
Remember the Enron debacle, which occurred as a result of lax rules and regulations that allowed corporate America to maximize its earnings and enrich the already rich while robbing the middle class and poor.
As for myself I lived in Haiti during the Clinton imposed embargo years and I distinctly remember president Clinton ordering US armed jets to bomb the capital of Port-au-Prince, Haiti so that the military junta in place would dislodge. I also remember that it was president Clinton who brought back that madman, current ex-Haitian President Jean Bertrand Aristide, to resume his presidency, which put the country on a desolate and desperate road.
I'm studying Barack Obama's platform so that I can understand his fiscal policies, his strengths and weaknesses, his ability to unite a divided America, his ability if he wins to unite a Democratic and Republican congress, his abilities to become a strong commander-in-chief, his ability to convince lawmakers to pass policies and laws through congress that will benefit the American people.
I want to believe that if Obama becomes president that he will lead this country in a good and moral path, that he will remain true and righteous in the principles and beliefs that guide this country, and that he will have the resolve to be decisive in the face of adversity. I believe in Obama and Yes we Can!

IN THE FRENCH LANGUAGE LE COIN DE CARL PARLANT DE TOUT ET DE RIEN LES GENS HEUREUX… Bonjour Miami, ses alentours et les « internôtres » qui écoutent et nous lisent à travers le monde.
CHAQUE JOUR EST À LUI SEUL UNE VIE.
Dieu, le travail et la liberté.
Et bonjour, bonjour la vie, bonjour l’amour, moi’j vais bien et’j m’habitue.
Les gens heureux n’ont pas d’histoires…Les gens heureux ils font l’histoire.
La ballade des gens heureux sur LE COIN DE CARL parlant de tout et de rien continue, dans un verbe d’arc-en-ciel .
Le temps poursuit sa marche et avec lui avance le monde, espérons aussi Haiti.
LA PENSÉE PERMANENTE « Tu n’as qu’une Patrie au monde.
C’est toi-même. Chante pour elle Et sois ton but, et sois ta vie.
Les déserts chanteront pour te répondre en chœur. » UNE PERLE DE CARL Le bruit ne fait pas de bien, mais le bien ne fait pas de bruit.
AU REVOIR, CHÈRE SŒUR.
Voici encore le poème limpide, lumineux de Lamartine: IMPROMPTU Le livre de la vie est le livre suprême Qu'on ne peut ni fermer ni rouvrir à son choix.
Le passage attachant ne se lit pas deux fois.
Mais le feuillet fatal se tourne de lui-même.
On voudrait revenir à la page où l'on aime; Et la page où l'on meurt est déjà sous nos doigts.
Sur cette page blanche où mes vers vont éclore Qu'un regard quelquefois ranime votre cœur.
De votre vie aussi la page est blanche encore.
Que n'y puis-je graver qu'un seul mot: le BONHEUR.
Alphonse de Lamartine Madame Kurt Fisher, née Ghislaine Fombrun, est morte à l’âge de 89 ans à Laboule , Haiti le mardi 19 février 2008.
Le samedi 27 Octobre 2007, j’avais l’opportunité de visiter Ghislaine en sa résidence privée dans les hauteurs de Laboule , Haiti .
De 89 ans jeune, elle aurait eû 90 ans le 19 juillet 2008 prochain.
Que la terre lui soit légère.
Des douze, de la première génération des enfants de Charles et Maria Fombrun, il n’en reste que six.
On tire dans nos rangs, et le temps ne passe pas, nous passons… Carl PAR LE TRUCHEMENT DE LEMANE VAILLANT Toronto , Canada Une raison pour laquelle je souhaite la réussite présidentielle d'Hillary Clinton aux dépens de Barack Obama et de John McCain : afin que Mirlande H Manigat et Ségolène Royal réalisent qu'elles aussi, elles pouvaient réussir en Haiti et en France respectivement pour une meilleure Haiti et une France prospère et sans scandales.
Leslie Manigat en 1988 , n'a pas pu pousser le RDNP et encourager les autres Partis Politiques haitiens à se raffermir .
Mirlande est une femme de parti .
Il ne peut y avoir de démocratie et de progrès dans un pays sans de vrais, solides, vivants et fonctionnels partis politiques .
Nous ne parlons pas des groupements ou mouvements populistes nébuleux et mystificateurs .
Observez un peu ce qui se passe politiquement à la République Dominicaine juste à côté de nous ( où nous comptons beaucoup d'haitiens résidents observateurs de la vie dominicaine dont le Général-Président Henry Namphy et l'Ambassadeur Fritz N Cinéas ) ou à la Jamaïque .
Nous nous accrochons aujourd'hui sur le Cuba de Fidel Castro .
Mais dès que Cuba deviendra une nation démocratique, nous pêterons un coquin et tomberons en inimitié soudaine avec Cuba .
Lemane Le Lider Maximo annonce qu'il renonce au pouvoir.
Une page d'histoire se tourne.
Au pouvoir depuis la Révolution cubaine de 1959, Fidel Castro a annoncé mardi qu'il renonçait à la présidence cubaine.
«Je n'aspirerai ni n'accepterai --je répète-- je n'aspirerai ni n'accepterai la charge de Président du Conseil d'Etat et de Commandant en chef», écrit le président cubain dans l'édition électronique de Granma(lire l'intégralité de la lettre en anglais), quotidien officiel du régime.
Malade, il s'était éclipsé depuis 19 mois, de la vie politique en confiant à son frère, Raul Castro les rênes du pouvoir par intérim.
Cette annonce intervient avant même la décision du parlement cubain qui désigne le 24 février prochain en son sein les 31 membres du Conseil d'Etat, le gouvernement de l'île communiste, présidé par Fidel Castro depuis 1976 et, à ce titre, chef de l'Etat.
La date de la convocation, prévue pour le 5 mars, avait été avancée, fin janvier par Raul Castro.
Cuba doit prendre «de grandes décisions», mais «petit à petit», dans «une étape complexe» indiquait-il.
Mais Fidel Castro qui n'est pas apparu en public depuis son opération en urgence d'une hémorragie intestinale en juin 2006, avait multiplié les signaux qui annonçaient son prochain retrait « afin de préparer le peuple à (son) absence ».
Le 17 décembre dernier, le «Comandante» affirmait ainsi dans une lettre lue à la télévision cubaine, qu'il n'entendait pas «s'accrocher à des fonctions» officielles et «encore moins fermer la voie à des personnes plus jeunes».
Une préoccupation qu'il a réitérée dans sa missive de mardi.
« Notre processus compte encore, avec des cadres de la vieille garde, unis à d'autres qui étaient plus jeunes quand a commencé la première étape de la Révolution», souligne le dirigeant cubain.
Dernier survivant de la guerre froide Et le Lider Maximo ne compte pas disparaître de la vie de ses compatriotes.
«Je ne vous fais pas mes adieux.
Je souhaite combattre comme un soldat des idées.
Je continuerai à écrire sous le titre Réflexions du camarade Fidel.
Ce sera une arme de l'arsenal avec lequel il faudra compter.
Peut-être que ma voix sera entendue.
Je serai prudent.
Merci».
Et de la ténacité Fidel Castro en a plus que montrée depuis son accession au pouvoir en 1959 sur les ailes de sa révolution cubaine, après 25 mois de guérilla contre la dictature de Batista.
Dernier survivant de la guerre froide, il a déjoué tous les pronostics en parvenant à maintenir le seul régime communiste du monde occidental, 17 ans après la chute du Mur de Berlin et 15 ans après celle de l'Union soviétique, au prix de lourds sacrifices de la population et sans concéder le moindre assouplissement de son régime.
Le «Commandante» aux diatribes fleuves, barbes et uniforme militaire vert a défié plus de dix présidents américains déterminés à en venir à bout, et résisté à leur embargo économique draconien, une tentative ratée de débarquement à la Baie des cochons en 1961 et une litanie de complots pour l'assassiner.
Aussi flamboyant sur la scène publique que secret dans sa vie privée, Fidel Castro a au moins huit enfants (lire le témoignage de sa fille Alina, en exil à Miami, qui s'oppose au régime de son père ), dont cinq fils avec Dalia Soto del Valle, la femme avec laquelle il vit depuis plus de 30 ans.
Ultime représentant de la génération des Nasser, Nehru, Tito, le Lider Maximo avait été élu symboliquement à la présidence du dernier sommet des Non-alignés à La Havane en septembre 2006.
Même désabusée, une large partie de la population reste «fidéliste», attachée notamment aux deux vitrines sociales du régime, la santé et l'éducation.
Durement réprimés, emprisonnés par milliers à l'aube du régime, ses opposants sont encore environ 240 à être détenus dans les geôles de l'île pour avoir réclamé la fin du parti unique et des élections libres.
EN EL RINCON DE Don Carlo Perdoname Anonimo Perdoname si te quiero demasiado, Perdoname porque estoy enamorado.
Perdoname si quiero darte un abrazo, Perdoname porque quiero estar a tu lado Perdoname si no puedo olvidarte, Perdoname por desear besarte.
Perdoname por no dejarte, Perdoname porque solo puedo amarte.
Mas si quieres olvidarme, Te lo hare muy facil.
Solo dale tu cariño a otro, pero a mi, no me pidas que no te ame.
Nunca habia estado tan cerca de ti, nunca habia probado tu cariño.
Y ahora despues de hacerlo, como dejar de sentir que quiero estar contigo?
Como podria yo olvidar la suavidad tu piel, la ternura de tus abrazos y el calor de tus besos?

ISTWA SEN DOMENG Jeneral Andre Rigo BON.
E POU MWEN FINI ZANMI KREYOL MWEN YO.
PAWOL-LA POU JODI-A : Bourik fè pitit se pou do-li ka poze.
An nou kontynue ak istwa peyi Dayiti kote kounye-an Tousen, lane 1794, te fè peyi Lespay bay la ri-a blansh nan koloni-an, et li te deside pou koupe zèb anba pyè peyi Langletè.Tousen ak jeneral franse-an Lavo, te kon 50 kob ak de gouden pou voye moute drapo franse ble,blan,wouj-la tou patou nan koloni-an.
Angle-yo te rale twò du nan Sen Domeng pou yo ta kite koloni-a ak ke yo anba vant-yo, men, an menm tan, maladi ak moustik tap manje twoup-yo.Yo ofri jeneral Lavo 5000 liv (kob angle) pou ashte vil Pò-de-pè.
Yo ofri jeneral milat-la Andre Rigo yon milyon-ven pou depatman sid-la.
Jeneral Lavo di-yo ale vouzan.
Jeneral Rigo li menm, yon militè franse milat kont woklo-li, di angle-yo bat dèyè-yo anvan li te deshalbore bonda-yo.
Juye lane 1794 angle-yo atake vil Gonayiv.
Tousen pran-yo nan chimen jennen pon Lestè men Tousen te blije fè bak.
Apre Tousen kale wès pou yon tan li atake kolonel angle-an Brisbane ki te fèk pran vil Vèrèt e ki te pare pou atake vil Gonayiv.
Tousen bat twoup angle kolonel Brisbane-yo ki li menm te fin kokobe anba bal fizi, e ki antre vil Sen Mak kote li mouri 9 desanm lanne 1794.
Tousen atake vil Sen Mak fevriye/mas lane 1795 men li pa resi met twoup angle yo deyo.
Li deside koupe tout ravitayman viand ak la triye twoup angle yo te resevwa nan men kèk twoup panyol-ki te toujou sèl kok ki chante nan vil Mibalè.
Mezanmi, Tousen atake Mibalè ak Laskaobas e li touye 93 solda ak 7 ofisye panyol.
Twoup angle yo soti nan vil Sen Mak, Lakayè, epi Kwa-dè-Boukè, yo atake vil Mibalè ak Tousen ki te blije bekabès douvan espètiz militè-angle yo, mwa out lanne 1795.
MEZANMI , se la ma-p rete pou jodi-a. Na pale denmen, si Granmèt la vle.
