Aid In The Form Of Debt: Is This How The IMF Will Take Over Haiti?

Is debt going to be the means by which the global banking elite takes over Haiti?  While millions have been raised by various charities to help the people of Haiti, the truth is that Haiti is also getting millions and millions in new loans from the IMF, and these new loans are so massive that they threaten to imprison the population of Haiti literally for generations.  So how big are the loans?  Well, the International Monetary Fund (IMF) last week agreed to 102 million dolars in new lending for Haiti to help provide emergency assistance and to help rebuild Haiti's shattered infrastructure.  But as always with the IMF, these new loans come with strings.

You see, whenever the IMF lends to the world's poorest countries, the loans always come with conditions attached.

So what could the IMF want in Haiti?

We'll get to that in a minute.

First let's examine how the mainstream media is suddenly reporting that the people of Haiti "want" the United States to "take over" Haiti and to "take care" of them.

In fact, MSNBC recently quoted some Haitians as saying that they literally want the United States to take over their country....

"I want the Americans to take over the country. The Haitian government can't do anything for us," said Jean-Louis Geffrard, a laborer who lives under a tarp in the crowded square. "When we tell the government we're hungry, the government says, 'We're hungry, too.' "

Here is another excerpt from the MSNBC article....

Added Canga Matthieu, a medical student whose school was destroyed: "The American government should take care of us."

"They're well organized. The United States is the richest country in the world, and they can help."

Certainly the U.S. should do whatever it can to help the people of Haiti.

But to say that the U.S. should "take over" Haiti is very dangerous indeed.

You see, when the U.S. sends troops somewhere, they have a really nasty habit of staying there.

Permanently.

Just check out the 47,000 troops that the U.S. still has stationed in Japan.

By my count, World War 2 ended in 1945.

That was 65 years ago.

So why do we still have 47,000 troops there?

Now that U.S. troops are pouring into Haiti, how soon do you think they will leave?

Especially considering how interested the U.S. and the IMF may be in getting their hands on the massive reserves of gold and oil in Haiti.

Yes, it is starting to come out that Haiti is actually brimming with gold, oil and other key natural resources, but because of the incredible violence and corruption in that nation (and due to other factors as well), those resources have never been exploited.

So will they now be exploited for the good of the Haitians, or will they be exploited for the benefit of the U.S. and the IMF?

That is a very good question.

But one thing to keep in mind is that the borrower always becomes the servant of the lender.

Now that Haiti has taken massive new loans from the IMF that they have no chance of repaying, how do you think this thing is going to play out?
