Rebellion Just when the UN was to begin the redeployment of troops deployed in Haiti, after 6 years (the mission of the peacekeepers began in 2004 and ended in 2010), there was the earthquake that extend and increase the military presence of the UN in the U.S. while the "lucrative" reconstruction of the coincidence?
Whoever dares to observe and analyze these days the information issued by the means of mass manipulation of capitalism, you will find, after a cynical expressions of concern by the disaster in Haiti, one solution to the problem: more intervention military. Today for example (just one day later), the news of Antena 3 TV, after ten minutes of information about the earthquake, the public asked a question "Do you think necessary to send troops to Haiti to prevent looting? ", a question that (in a disgusting exercise in manipulation) was quick to respond with the supposed results that same question had been obtained on its website, presenting 85% for of sending troops and 15% against.
The solution to the terrible earthquake in Haiti today offer us the means of capitalist mass media is not new, after the terrible tsunami that struck Indonesia in 2004, the proposed solution was the same: more military intervention, a solution that was a new re-colonization of the area, by the Empire.
Solutions proposed by the Empire to such disasters make us suspicious, especially considering that the UN itself has defined in its day as "Environmental Modification Techniques" in the Convention on the Prohibition of environmental modification techniques for military use or otherwise, held in Geneva on May 18, 1977. According to the UN it would be any technique for changing - through the deliberate manipulation of natural processes - the dynamics, composition or structure of the Earth, including its biota, lithosphere, hydrosphere and atmosphere or of outer space.
The Eco News web site, we also find an interesting definition of "Environmental Modification Techniques" or "War on the Environment" is defined as the intentional modification or manipulation of the natural ecology, such as climate and weather, earth systems such as the ionosphere, magnetosphere, tectonic plate system, and / or seismic events (earthquakes) to cause intentional physical destruction, economic, psycho-social an intended target geophysical or population, as part of a strategic or tactical war. "
The "Environmental Modification Techniques" is not new, there are declassified documents that show altering the climate for military purposes, such as "Operation Popeye", developed by the United States between 1967 and 1972 in Vietnam, to extend the monsoon season in order to make impracticable the Vietcong's supply route, or "Project Seal", developed between 1944 and 1945 in New Zealand, which was intended to artificially generate tsunamis.
Unfortunately, the desire to control the environment and their use for military or economic is not the past, one example is the HAARP Project, "about which he expressed his concern about the European Parliament in January 1999: "Considers HAARP. [The high Frequency Active Auroral Research Program in Alaska] ... under its broad scope and impact on the environment as a global concern and calls for its legal implications, ecological and ethical review by an independent international organization or agency ... [the Committee] regrets the repeated refusal of Administration of the United States ... to testify at the public hearing ... on environmental and public risks [of] the HAARP program. "(European Parliament Committee on Foreign Affairs, Security and Defence Policy, Brussels, doc. No. A4-0005/99, January 14, 1999).
More revealing is a recently declassified document U.S. Armed Forces, drafted in the middle of the Cold War: "[The weather modification] provides the war fighter a wide range of possible options to defeat or coerce an adversary ... Weather modification will become part of the security nationally and internationally and could be done unilaterally ... It could have offensive and defensive applications and even be used for purposes of deterrence. The ability to generate precipitation, fog and storms on earth or to modify space weather ... and production of artificial weather all part of an integrated set of [military] technologies. " (Paper U.S. Air Force AF 2025 Final Report)
Haiti is the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, around 75% of its population live on less than 2 dollars a day. More brutal centuries of colonialism and foreign interference in its internal affairs, by the major capitalist powers are undoubtedly responsible for this.
Since 2004, after a coup backed by foreign powers, the UN maintains military forces (MINUSTAH) in Haiti to ensure the operation and control of a country whose only outlet is the Rebellion, the Empire knows something , so that the terrible earthquake that has just ravage the capital, Port au Prince, I will come like a charm to reinforce its military presence and to deter the natives of their desire for independence, especially considering that the MINUSTAH (United Nations Mission for the Stabilization of Haiti) ending in October 2010 and in view of this, the UN planned to start soon a phased withdrawal of its troops, which, unfortunately for the Haitian people but fortunately for the Empire, and will not happen.
