We have evidence to the effect that that paragon of integrity, Senator John Joel Joseph has been spreading money around the Carrefour area in order to create chaos around the time of our scheduled school opening.
This murderer was placed in the Senate by Rene Preval and has acted as a divisive element in Haiti’s effort to follow a democratic course.
And then we have Jocelerme Privert, the guy who coordinated the La Scerie Massacre for Aristide, and now walks free, protected by his parliamentary immunity in company with the murderer Moise Jean-Charles.
John Joel Joseph was a close associate of Amaral Duclona, the Aristide/Preval hit-man who now resisides in French prison.
Senator Joseph was an important part of Operation Baghdad that saw more than 1,000 Haitians killed along with over 100 PNH officers. Senator Joseph killed a number of people – personally. He is a hands on kind of guy.
Many elements are working to undermine Michel Martelly’s government. Garry Conille has arrived back in Haiti to assist with this project since he hopes to take an important position in whatever replacement governmental structure that may result.
Some suggest a triumvirate made up of Garry Conille, Michaelle Jean and Madame Mirlande Manigat.
It is time for the Haitian society to stop this ongoing effort to destabilize whoever sits in the palace. It is time for all of us to work together to make the next two years a success, so power can be passed via a well-coordinated electoral process.
It is time for the International Community, and some Haitians, to understand that elections cannot be effectively held before
November of 2014. To do otherwise will end up with another abortive electoral process and more unrest.
Give President Martelly the chance to hold a really meaningful, well-coordinated election, rather than one dictated by the requirements of the International Community.

Conille has been serving as chief of staff to Clinton who, as the UN special envoy or “GENERAL GOVERNOR” for Haiti, is a key player in deciding how the impoverished country will spend millions of dollars in international reconstruction aid.
PORT-AU-PRINCE, Haiti (sentinel.ht) – The Senate of the Republic voted on Tuesday a report by a special committee that recommended the indictment and impeachment of President Michel Martelly, the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice.
The historic vote took place with seven votes in favor, zero against and nine abstentions. In usual cases, including those of recent history in Haiti, this has been considered a vote to approve the report, but ARTICLE 117 of the Constitution of Haiti reads:
All acts of the Legislature must be approved by a majority of the members present.
therefore, the report would seem to fail approval (see bottom of article).
The report submitted by a commission established to investigate the suspicious death of Judge Jean Serge Joseph on July 13, and the involvement of the Head of State, Michel Martelly, Head of Government, Laurent Lamothe and Minister of Justice, Jean Renel Sanon said that the senior executives held a meeting with the official on July 11 with the departed Judge Jean Serge Joseph and subjected the magistrate to unbearable pressure to drop a corruption case against the wife and son of the President, Sophia and Olivier Martelly..
A commission in the Lower House of Parliament, established to investigate the same incident also recommended the indictment and impeachment of the three ranking executives. The report of the Chamber of Deputies failed to be presented in August for lack of quorum.
Both reports conclude that these officials lied to the nation when they said the meeting had not been held.
According to the Haitian Constitution, the President of the Republic may be impeached by a two-thirds majority vote in the Chamber of Deputies to indict and a two-thirds vote by the High Court of Justice, the Senate, to impeach. The Prime Minister and Justice Minister need only a majority vote in either house to be removed.
In the usual case, abstentions are not counted. They are not “votes” technically. In a room of 100 people, a vote of 1-0 [one affirmative and zero negative] is legitimate, and renders a binding decision. Also, A vote of 1-0 in room of 100 people is technically a “unanimous vote” because there was no vote in opposition. However, if the bylaws specify “a majority of those PRESENT” or “two-thirds of those PRESENT”, instead of “PRESENT AND VOTING”, then an abstention has the same effect as a negative vote.

garbage and lies
Being Clinton’s Chief of Staff is no guarantee of integrity of competence.
Seems as though there is a secret deal with only a few people in on it that gives Clinton big advantages.
The fact that our Senate is full of criminals is just a fact of Haitian life
Please keep up the good work Haiti can make a difference
give freedom a chance!
