HLLN analysis to NYT’s cholera article: Playing the Left-Right game of neutral reporting

by Ezili Dantò
*****

For the complete HLLN analysis to NYT’s cholera article and the four HLLN Comments the Times posted submitted by Ezili's HLLN, go to our website.

********

The Set Up. Act 3 to follow:

The set up. It’s like watching, in slow motion, a horrific accident. First, former President Bill Clinton comes out and admits the UN brought cholera.

Then NYT finally writes a notable investigative report but quotes Paul Farmer as if he’s just a doctor not a mouthpiece for UN.

The scrubbing of the Nepal contingent is done. They’re not at the base anymore and a new, more hygiene-conscious UN group replaced them. What’s left except for Farmer to give his IDJH buddies a UN mea culpa where the reparation monies goes back into the hands of the same NGOs-UN folks like back in Trouilliot days when the victims of the 1937 massacres where played by Haiti government and the international vampires…

Haitians don’t exist unless employed by the vampires – both in the Left and Right game of neocolonialism. They’ve got all the resources and white supremacy allows they’re the only ones who are credible to raise funds for THEIR “cause and case” – meaning Haiti sufferings, disease,  poverty and pains the system and their alliances mostly are responsible for.

Of course Mr. Bill is terribly sorry that the UN kicked Haiti while it was down and infected thousands of people with a virulent strain of Cholera from a battle field called Nepal. But Mr. Bill would have been even sorrier if the epidemic had had adverse consequences on “the Bill and Hillary” fund and forced the Clintons to have to give some of that money to its rightful recipients. That would have been a truly terrible tragedy and perhaps Mr. Bill would never have gotten over it. As it is, insurance sales are down due to the declining rate of Cholera in Haiti. Hillary is inconsolable she wanted to prove to Bill that she could start her own business. She shall have to kill many third worlders to make her feel better.

The other nyt comments were farsical. Spin and denial ad nauseum. (example: teach Haitians to build better latrines... dios mio! )
