Jovenel Moïse assassinated in middle-of-the-night attack at his home


https://news.yahoo.com/haiti-president-mo-se-mortally-101227341.html?ncid=twitter_yahoonewst_sjwumo1bpf4

quote:

The assailants claimed to be agents with the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration, according to videos taken by people in the area of the president’s home. Moïse, 53, lives in Pelerin 5, a neighborhood just above the hills in the capital.

On the videos, someone with an American accent is heard saying in English over a megaphone, “DEA operation. Everybody stand down. DEA operation. Everybody back up, stand down.”

Absolutely! I know when the US overthrows other countries leaders they announce it via loudspeaker beforehand. In fact, it's well known that the US publicizes its operations via both newspaper and internet postings when they're finalized. They even sent bin Laden a text saying "lol ur gonna die" like five minutes before they landed in Abottabod. In fact when they landed people heard them scream "THIS IS SEAL TEAM SIX AND WE'RE HERE TO KILL YOU OSAMA BIN LADEN!"

It's just 150 years of US foreign policy man

guessing there will be a 'ladies and gentlemen, we got'im' press conference later today

i haven't been keeping up with politics there so had to refresh myself with what was up:

quote:

On top of the pandemic and a faltering economy, Haiti was undergoing a constitutional power struggle stemming from a chaotic election which saw Moise only sworn in 15 months after a first-round vote. As a result, he had said his five-year term would run until February 2022, while the opposition said his term ended last February.

Moise, 53, had governed by decree since January 2020, when parliamentary terms expired without elections being held. The opposition had said he was illegally amassing power and enacting laws in violation of the constitution. Moise responded to the claims by saying he was “not a dictator.”

This week, Moises appointed Henry Ariel as Prime Minister, though he hasn’t formally taken the role yet, and Claude Joseph is still acting on an interim basis.

so it seems like it was kind of a shitshow before this happened

Much like when the CIA put up barracades in front of the JFK parade and announced "Everyone except the president, please get down, this is the CIA. Please, look at our CIA badges and shirts. We're here to do some shooting." It seems almost TOO simple...

So I guess the takeaway is that the former president of Haiti had information that would have led to the arrest and conviction of Hillary Clinton?

The funny thing is that I can't decide if the US government would be stupid enough to announce who they were while assassinating foreign heads of state. On the surface it's the dumbest scam possibly imagined, on the other hand there's literally piles of history of the government doing mind numbingly stupid acts in foreign states.
