"The french returned" aka King Charles X, in power thanks to the victory of the European coalition against Napoleon before invading Algeria and starting the rush toward Africa. FYI that money allowed people like Alexandre de Gobineau to live lavishly and write his theories on Aryanism. So many of the same people who owned plantations in Haiti were able to reinvest massively in colonial ventures.

this coming from one of those obama alums who never seem to loving go away lends weight to the idea that this wasn't orchestrated by the state department so much as given the nod by the institutional forces within to one of the political aspirants believing they had something to gain in deposing moise. of course instead of quietly handling a wannabe strongman overstaying his term you now have a country shocked into a state of political limbo with at least a couple of our fingerprints over it but no one in a position to cast blame loudly enough for it to matter

I am starting to believe that the "replace someone under Moise" plan was okayed by the US and someone was so loving against it they had the president murdered to prevent that poo poo and force an election. And we have two prime ministers claimant now. It would also explain why it looks so rushed.

Watching the architect of the Vietnam War bug out over the implications had me cackling like a hyena.

i dunno, still not convinced its cia or even anything that got an unofficial nod from the feds. the dea told them to surrender. theres a lot of private military contractors for hire https://twitter.com/kenklippenstein/status/1414747087334526978?s=20 in venezuela the feds put a bounty on maduros head and some contractor allegedly just went for the cash. motivations in haiti seem way more murky to me right now

Given that a bunch of them were caught just hanging out in a house down the street, and they met a resistance of up to three guys who didn’t even try to stop them, they might not have even been told it was the president they were murdering. Or they were just dumb as poo poo, or both.
