These myths, stereotypes, racist lies and self-serving fears, control, promote and maintains the world’s negative perceptions of Haiti so that empire, their predatory “charitable” and “benevolent” NGOs and the world’s corporate oligarchs may contain-Haiti-in-poverty the better to rob it blind.” (See, HLLN Campaign Five Action Plan; Answers to media questions about Haiti; Oil in Haiti and Oil Refinery, Haiti’s Riches, Interview on Haiti’s Riches; The causes of Haiti’s poverty and deforestation and Ezili’s counter-colonial narrative on Vodun).

- Legacy of Impunity – Don’t believe the hype about Haiti being the most violent and corrupt place in the world. The Neocolonialists inciting political instability is Haiti’s main problem. It is this political instability and exclusion that is responsible for the legacy of impunity, endemic poverty and violence in Haiti. Otherwise, Haiti is underdeveloped in crime, corruption and violence, compared to other nations.
