WikiLeaks Cables Reveal "Secret History" of U.S. Bullying in Haiti at Oil Companies’ Behest
The Nation magazine, in partnership with the Haitian weekly newspaper, Haïti Liberté, has launched a series of reports based on more than 19,000 classified U.S. diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks. Called “The PetroCaribe Files,” the series begins with an exposé of how the United States—with pressure from Exxon and Chevron—tried to interfere with an oil agreement between Haiti and Venezuela that would save Haiti, the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, $100 million per year. “It’s really amazing to see an ambassador pushing around a president, and all his officials telling them what to do, that they don’t understand this, they don’t understand that, trying to tell them what Haiti’s interests are. It’s the epitome of arrogance,” says the report’s co-author, Kim Ives. We are also joined by veteran Haiti correspondent, Dan Coughlin.
This is a reality, brothers and sisters. It’s no coincidence that Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere and the first true successful slave revolt.

Good judgement is usually learned through experiences, much of which are a result of poor judgement. Live and learn, then grow thereby.
