Speaker 0: Nelson Mandela was a terrorist according to Margaret Thatcher and, Ronald Reagan, so I guess maybe that man is falsely accused as well. Where's the evidence? Where's the evidence? Speaker 1: But your isn't this changing the ground rules? I mean, this is in terms of what these Speaker 0: people what do you Speaker 1: know about AHH? What do you know about what they're doing? Speaker 0: It's not my job to go and and Spend, time investigating every activity of every person that I deal with. I stand by what I've done, and I am proud to have stood shoulder to shoulder with my brothers From IHH and around the world who did the right thing. I'm with Hamas. To accept the unacceptable. Speaker 1: And Hamas? Speaker 0: And Hamas? You know what? The IRA is now part of the government in Ireland, but they were the terrorists of their day as well. If Hamas had been allowed an opportunity to give the political chance, the political process an opportunity, Maybe they would not be involved in violent resistance as they are. However, they have never been given an opportunity Speaker 1: to call double standards. I mean, just as Double standard. Well, in of the way you are talking about what Israel does and what you're talking about Hamas does, people were critical of the IRA when it did what it did, and it was only when it turned to political means that it was deemed acceptable. Amnesty says of Hamas that it engaged in a campaign of abductions, deliberate and unlawful killings, and torture. Speaker 0: I do not stand by anyone or any institution that violates human rights, however, what I will say Speaker 1: Yes, I Speaker 0: do. And I will say Absolutely. 100%. Without reservation, I support the right of self defense without any doubt. I would be involved myself in violent resistance If I were a citizen of Palestine or Iraq or Afghanistan, and if I were a citizen of the United States or Britain, And someone from halfway around the world came into my country and started stealing my land and killing my family, guess what? I would defend my country as well. So I absolutely 100% defend the right of self defense, and I will never shy away from that. I will not join the long list of embarrassments Who condemned terrorism while forgetting to acknowledge that the biggest terrorist on the planet is the United States government for all of the terrorists around the world. Speaker 1: Has the right to defend itself. Speaker 0: Absolutely every country does, and it that's exactly why the hypocrisy and the lies of Israel are so transparent. Are you telling me we don't have the right To defend our defend ourselves? When I saw dead bodies on that ship and we were hitting people with bars and sticks, we don't have the right to defend ourselves, but they do, do they? Speaker 1: Hamas doesn't recognize the right of Israel to exist. Speaker 0: You know what that sounds like to me? That sounds like the African National Congress and Nelson Mandela refusing to accept apartheid and recognize apartheid. I say that Israel, if it wants to be a genuine partner in any kind of peace, Needs to destroy its whole ideology of Zionism. Zionism that makes other people goyim, who do not deserve to be in the Holy Land. That's The real problem. If Israel will embrace every people, including Palestinians equally, human rights respected across the board, then I would challenge Hamas to change its charter And say, we will acknowledge Israel. But until that time, I see no difference between Nelson Mandela and Hamas in refusing to accept apartheid or the Zionist Israeli state. Speaker 1: The Israeli government, their first Job is to defend their citizens. They have rocket attacks from Gaza. They have intercepted, in in 2009, the Frank op holding hundreds of tons of Of war material for Hezbollah, until 2002, the Karim A holding dozens of tons of weapons for Hamas Sailing to Gaza from Iran. They are trying to defend their right to exist. That is why they their argument is it's self defense. Speaker 0: And if you believe that then I've got some swampland in Florida to sell you as well. If you wanted peace and you carried out the policies of Israel then you'd have To believe that these people are the biggest idiots ever. It's like America saying it wants peace yet conducting state sponsored terrorism in Iraq In Afghanistan, that's a lie. Israel is lying, they don't want peace Are Speaker 1: they lying when they say there was no humanitarian aid Speaker 0: to that? Israel to them, and the Zionist agenda, It's the end of the Zionist project. They don't want peace. It's a lie. It's an absolute lie, and the policies to any thinking person that reflect that I can't speak for Hamas. I think that I I what I do know what I do know about Hamas is that they've actually done something to help their people. And they have also, I think, helped to give ammunition to their enemies by violating human rights and not doing everything that they should do To respect the rule of law. I'm not gonna sit here and defend Hamas any more than I'm gonna defend anyone who violates human rights. However, Hamas has done a lot to help its People. And for that, it has to be given credit. And it also cannot be bought. And do you not think Speaker 1: that the Israeli people would say that of their own government? They elected it. Speaker 0: I actually think that the Israeli government It's a reflection of the propaganda that has made the Israeli people so ignorant of the facts. Speaker 1: Or defensive. They are under constant rocket attack. They feel that they do. Speaker 0: Do people have the rocket attacks killed? These are glorified fireworks against the 4th largest military in the world with the latest technology Jean, weapons of mass Speaker 1: destruction. 3000 rockets out of Gaza in Speaker 0: the Gaza. 3,000 rockets that killed how many people? Speaker 1: The point is that Israel is feeling Israel feels under threat. Speaker 0: I think the rockets are a desperate attack. Speaker 1: Let's go back to what was on your let's talk about what was on your ship, because Israel says that there was no humanitarian aid on that ship. We Speaker 0: had, passengers on that ship who are expressing their humanity in a way that's a form of humanitarian aid that was not the primary cargo ship, to deny that the cargo ships, which were also confiscated, didn't have things like cement, Didn't have thing like wheelchairs, didn't have thing like medical supplies is another lie. But that's just it. Israel just lies incessantly. Speaker 1: So why not? If you wanted to get this human aid Through to the people of Gaza. Why not do what they said? Dock in the port of Ashdod in Israel and allow even an Egypt or an international organization to deliver the aid? Speaker 0: Because it would be acting like a fool who believes that Israel has any intention of actually delivering all the aid that you're bringing. They don't allow cementing, they don't allow building supplies, and they don't allow all sorts of things to the point that you have an unemployment rate that is the highest in the world, a poverty rate that's African levels, you have Children who were malnourished and anemic, you have terrible, terrible hardship. Obviously Israel doesn't want to let all the supplies in their car. Speaker 1: So when Israel conducts This inquiry that it is into what happened Speaker 0: It's a farce joke, and we all know that. Speaker 1: Even though it has David Trimble and Ken Watkin it, the Canadian, and you're an Irish Speaker 0: credit yourself now, David Trimble, don't you? You know? Speaker 1: If they asked you, would you give them evidence? Speaker 0: Absolutely, I'm giving evidence right now. I have nothing to hide. Speaker 1: Would you go back to Israel to give them evidence? Speaker 0: I'm seriously considering that. Because you know what? There are Thousands of political prisoners from Palestine, my brothers and sisters who I consider to be my family, who don't have the same opportunity that I do. They don't have that shining light on me. They don't have BBC interviewing me, yet they're sitting there in prison not having access to their family, and they're my brothers and sisters, so I'm thinking about it very, very seriously, Even though I know there is no justice in Israel Speaker 1: Do you fear for your life? You've talked about the fact that you might be Speaker 0: I believe in what Malcolm X When he was asked what is the price for freedom? Malcolm said the price for freedom is death, and if you're not willing to pay that price then don't use that word in your vocabulary. Speaker 1: Did you think you were going to die when you were on the Mavi Malmo? Speaker 0: No, I thought we need to defend this ship, we need to succeed in this mission, we need to end this blockade, that was what was running through my thoughts. Speaker 1: You used to be a US Marine. You've moved quite a long way from that. Speaker 0: Thank god for that. Speaker 1: You burnt your American passport. Speaker 0: I renounced my US citizenship formally because I do not agree to the terms of citizenship. I refuse to pay into a tax system that's being used to commit mass murder, war crimes, and crimes against humanity. Speaker 1: Your anger, How will you use it next? Speaker 0: Based on love, and that's why I do what I do. Speaker 1: How will you use it next? What will you do? Speaker 0: I've been involved in a project Called Aloha Palestine, a social enterprise intending to do safe trade with Gaza, to bring in items counter to what Israel is getting from Britain and the United States weapons of mass destruction, small arms, and things like that to bring in safe trade items such as things that are needed for the civilian population to live a decent life, And that is a problem that we need to address in this world is the absolute lack of the palestinian people to exercise self determination, and Living on aid is not the answer, so my focus is trade. And if I can't be the director of that policy Well, Speaker 1: let's just go on the other side, because a lot is focused on the import, getting stuff into Gaza. Surely the best thing for the Ghasan people would be to allow to export all that they do. Speaker 0: Yeah, and they have millions of carnations that they could be Reporting and they feed it to livestock because it's not allowed out. Is that a security measure for his marijuana? What do Speaker 1: you do next? Is it another is it another trip on a a ship in to try to Break the naval blockade which will stay. Speaker 0: You know, I have a family. I'm a father. I have a beautiful son, a beautiful wife, and I have, Some responsibility to them, but I have a greater responsibility to the world that I live in. I don't know that it's possible for me to not be on the next flotilla, And I'd really like to say publicly right now, Hugo Chavez, you need to be on that flotilla. Nelson Mandela, if you can possibly do it, you need to be on that flotilla. Anyone who's serious, who has any real influence in this world, who really cares about justice, you need to be on that flotilla. We will end this Blockade, and that's where I intend to be, on that next flotilla. Speaker 1: The chances of any of them going on that flotilla presumably were reduced when there was violence. Do you feel in any way responsible, On the behalf of those on the ship for the violence that came from it. Speaker 0: I feel responsible for defending that ship and the mission which was intended to protect Innocent civilians who are being collectively punishment in a collectively punished in a policy which would only be considered insane by any thinking compassionate person. Speaker 1: So it was worth it? Speaker 0: It was absolutely worth it. We need to do it again. Speaker 1: Ken O'Keefe, thank you for coming on Hard Talk. Speaker 0: Thank you.

Speaker 0: Hey, just a quick heads up to anyone making pro Palestine content. There are bot farms in Israel at the moment where who will make, from nobody accounts, use them any number type bullshit. They sometimes stick a name in there. Will make a relatively innocuous quibble comments, something like, do you know the genocide needs intent? You know, always a quibble, always a minor quibble. And the second, I'm talking within 10 seconds of you responding, they will report your comment. And they just do this over and over again. One thing I've learned though, don't use the clown emoji. I use that a lot in response to comments like that. And honestly, every time I've used it, I've been reported. So, yeah, just avoid the hassle. Of course, I block these guys when I find them, but it's it's kind of ridiculous. I mean, this is the lens Israel is going to to flood social media with their propaganda bullshit.

Israel Scraping The Bottom Of The Barrel (Oli London) 🇮🇱🤡 Oli London has been a laughing stock for the entirety of his online "career" due to him constantly having plastic surgery, changing genders, changing pronouns and essentially doing anything for attention. However, he's currently one of the most prolific Zionist voices on X. Oli London has had his X account since 2009, yet he only mentioned Israel once in a tweet before October 7, and that 1 tweet was about Israel putting a rainbow coloured Union Jack outside their embassy in London, nothing to do with Palestine - Israel. Even on October 7th, Oli London said Israel was also committing war crimes. "Civillians on both sides are being subjected to unspeakable war crimes." So why has one of the internet's biggest grifters, who found about Israel & Palestine on October 7th, all of a sudden turned into a hardcore Zionist who gets invited to Israel and wears a Ministry of Foreign Affairs vest? Well we know Israel have a history of paying influencers, (if you'd even call him that), to support them, but damn... Oli London? Yeah Israel's scraping the bottom of the barrel alright. 7/8

The Israeli regime allegedly manipulates Wikipedia to promote their genocidal agenda, using it as a credible source for their propaganda. This strategy extends to various languages and platforms, including social media. The Zionist troll army then utilizes these distorted sources to spread their propaganda further. The influence of these paid individuals is said to extend to platforms like Reddit, where large subreddits are reportedly dominated by Zionists.

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

the Israeli regime's propaganda complex has dedicated courses and entire teams focused on editing Wikipedia so that it reflects their genocidal worldview. This then becomes a "credible" source used by Zionist propagandists to further disseminate their propaganda lies https://t.co/8M1fvmsb7G

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

they have been doing this for many years. Here's a video from an Israeli propaganda network from 13 years ago where they proudly talk about how they're intentionally distorting Wikipedia with their Zionist propaganda. It features future PM and genocidal maniac Naftali Bennett https://t.co/C10HaV92BX

My Israel organized an instructional day for Wiki editors to teach them how to edit Wikipedia. They aim to have an influence on articles like the Gaza Flotilla, ensuring a balanced and Zionist perspective. Many Israelis and Jews attended to learn how to defend Israel online, specifically on Wikipedia. They found the platform complex and struggled with understanding the rules. Some attempted to make small edits favoring Israel but had their changes undone without explanation.

Speaker 0: In conjunction with My Israel, has arranged, instruction day for Wiki editors. The goal of the day is to, teach people how to edit in Wikipedia, which is the number one source of information today in the world. As a way of example, if someone searches the Gaza Flotilla, We wanna be there. We wanna be the the guys who influence what is written there, how it's written, and to ensure that it's balanced and, Zionist in the Nature. Speaker 1: I came here to learn more about how, we as Israelis and as Jews can defend Israel online on the Internet, and particularly in In Wikipedia, in this case, Wikipedia is a bit of a complex system, and it's sometimes hard to figure out the rules. I personally tried to edit things, in Wikipedia that were against Israel, Small things, and my changes were erased or, undone, and I didn't understand why.

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

it's not just in English. The Israeli regime and its propaganda network and bot armies work across languages, focusing specifically on countries like Iran with Farsi and in Arabic. The paid trolls are unleashed on social media and sites like Wiki to spread genocidal propaganda https://t.co/vbkPdF70SA

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

once they have spread their genocidal propaganda on Wikipedia, it then becomes used as a "credible source" by their Zionist troll army on places like Community Notes to launder their propaganda there. Just look how the Zionist propaganda loop works: https://t.co/2VpVb9NF4k

Major news channels, including CNN, are subject to censorship by the Israeli government. The censor restricts reporting on certain topics and controls the narrative. Legacy media is still under this control, leading to scrutiny and censorship of sensitive subjects like the USS Liberty incident. It's important to use discernment with major media figures who may not report the truth. The military-industrial complex that controls media out of Israel is a challenge. Figures like Michael Flynn, Andrew Breitbart, Steve Bannon, and George Webb have ties to Israel. Conservative media outlets may not provide unbiased information.

@Prolotario1 - Ariel

The Ties That Bind: Media Under Siege Did you know A spokesperson for the CNN network confirmed to The Intercept that its news coverage about Israel and Palestine is run through and reviewed by the CNN Jerusalem bureau—which is subject to the IDF’s censor? This also goes for all your major conservation platforms as well. Everything is controlled from there in terms of mass communication lines. Tim Pool Ben Shapiro Candace Owens Benny Johnson Steve Bannon Breibart News Gateway Pundit Etc. Do you now understand why "Israel is saved for last"? You can not get the truth about what is going on through most of the major news channels that you all follow. They would never speak ill of Bibi Netanyahu. The censor restricts foreign news outlets from reporting on certain subjects of its choosing and outright censors articles or news segments if they don’t meet its guidelines. In practice, the staff member told The Intercept, “‘War-crime’ and ‘genocide’ are taboo words. Israeli bombings in Gaza will be reported as ‘blasts’ attributed to nobody, until the Israeli military weighs in to either accept or deny responsibility. Ofcourse legacy media for the most part is still under this control. Which is why certain subjects like the USS Liberty being bombed purposely by the Israeli government will always face scrutiny and censorship. Ask Tim Pool. Now think about how sensitive 9/11 is compared to a ship being attacked as opposed to an entire building? Imagine knowing exactly who was behind it and refuse to report it to your audience when you worked as an intellgence officer for 4 decades+? Now do you see why you need to use your discernment in regards to these major media figures who are in your face everyday blowing smoke up your a🍑? This is what we are up against. The Military Industrial Complex that controls media out of Israel. Who was using Pegasus Software owned by intellgence agencies out of Israel to spy on American journalists? Michael Flynn. Who got their start business start as a news agency in Israel? Andrew Breibart. Who also got their start who was friends with A. Breibart with ties to Israel? Steve Bannon. Who came out and stated that they were a Zionist? George Webb. Listen, we have been infiltrated from all sides. If you think you are being informed by these conservative media outlets who proved time and time again they were placed there to push candidates who were being positioned to remove D. Trump then you are far to gone at this point.

A series of posts reveal the funding and organization behind the Palestinian protests in Canada. The Palestinian Youth Movement (PYM) is a transnational grassroots movement involved in organizing the protests. Collaborators include SJP Carleton, Labour for Palestine Ottawa, and INSAF uOttawa. These organizations raise funds, some of which are donated to Islamic Relief Canada. Islamic Relief Canada has faced allegations of anti-Semitism and receives federal grants. The BDS movement is also involved, promoting boycotts of Jewish businesses. PYM runs various fundraisers and offers scholarships. The WESPAC Foundation, based in New York, supports PYM and has connections to the PFLP, a designated terrorist group. The executive director of WESPAC, Nada Khader, was a former UN employee. These international organizations fuel protests that have resulted in anti-Semitic behavior and disorder. The protests lack transparency and receive government funding. They intimidate and harm Jewish communities and businesses.

@RealAndyLeeShow - Andy Lee - Special Rebel Rapporteur

They won’t do it, so I will. Who is funding some of the massive “grassroots” Palestinian protests in Canada? They are planning on shutting down Ottawa tomorrow. I’ll tell you exactly who is organizing and funding it. A thread: 1/

They describe themselves as a “transnational, independent, and grassroots movement of Palestinian and Arab youth struggling for the liberation of our homeland.” They also run a backup account at “palyouthmvmt.” Transnational. OK. 3/

The about section of WESPAC on its site is written by Executive Director Nada Khader. She’s listed on a smattering of other sites like the American Friends of Combatants for Peace (combatants for peace?), and the War Resistors League. More fundraisers, more merch. 27/ https://t.co/GXJjeNNSn2

@RealAndyLeeShow - Andy Lee - Special Rebel Rapporteur

She’s something else as well. She was formerly a consultant for the U.N. Development Program in the Gaza Strip. A former United Nations employee fuelling protests internationally that have resulted in anti-Semitic behaviour, disorder and chaos. Why am I not surprised? 28/ https://t.co/oGFiLjuJnX

@RealAndyLeeShow - Andy Lee - Special Rebel Rapporteur

Naturally, she rallies for aid for UNRWA despite their alleged involvement in the gruesome October 7th attacks, and fundraises for the organization as well through WESPAC amidst calls to halt funding to UNRWA due to their involvement with Hamas. 29/ https://t.co/Y27qp0oVWw

@RealAndyLeeShow - Andy Lee - Special Rebel Rapporteur

I could go on here, but I think we’ve seen enough. In short, international organizations are mobilizing affiliates in Canada and around the world and funding these “grassroots” protests under the guise of social justice and wanting a “ceasefire,” causing civil unrest while their partners endorse terrorism. They are powered by a web of intertwined domestic and foreign NGOs and non-profits with poor transparency. Fundraising is extensive and difficult to track. They receive government funding from taxpayers. Their mobs intimidate, harass and harm Jewish communities and their businesses. They don’t respect law and order, and they use confrontations to grow their audiences and their cash flows. And tomorrow, as smoke bombs fill the air amidst chants for “Intifada,”they will shut down our capital. Again. Fin. 30/

The New York Times has been found to have a memo that restricts the use of certain terms in relation to Palestinian deaths, such as 'massacre' and 'slaughter'. The memo also prohibits the use of terms like 'genocide', 'ethnic cleansing', 'occupied territories', 'refugee camps', and 'Palestine'. The term 'terrorism' is only allowed to describe Palestinian attacks, excluding Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians and infrastructure. This raises concerns about the erasure of the Palestinian narrative and history from the NYT's coverage. Similar memos from other outlets may also be serving the purpose of biased coverage in favor of Israel.

@Jonathan_K_Cook - Jonathan Cook

Research shows terms like 'massacre' and 'slaughter' are only ever used by the New York Times to describe the killing of Israelis, never for the killing of Palestinians. Now the Intercept has found the NYT memo that specifically bars its journalists, and even interviewees, from using these terms in relation to Palestinian deaths, as well as a ban on the use of 'genocide', 'ethnic cleansing', 'occupied territories', 'refugee camps' and 'Palestine'. The term 'terrorism' is restricted to describing Palestinian attacks, according to the memo. Israeli attacks on Palestinian civilians and civilian infrastructure, such as hospitals, is excluded. The entire Palestinian narrative – and the region's history – has been erased from the NYT's coverage, exactly as Israel would want it to be. Now we just need to unearth the memos issued by the BBC, Guardian and a host of other outlets that are serving precisely the same purpose of skewing the coverage exclusively in Israel's favour.

I've been observing the New York Times' recent coverage, particularly the piece titled "The secret Hamas files," authored by Ronen Bergman and Adam Rasgon. Both have ties to Israeli military intelligence and are known for promoting pro-Israel narratives. Their work appears to serve as a vehicle for Israeli propaganda, lacking objectivity and critical analysis. This trend extends to other articles, where they've been accused of misrepresenting facts and fabricating evidence, raising serious concerns about journalistic integrity and accountability.

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

the New York Times is now just laundering straight Israeli intelligence propaganda under the guise of "journalism". Yesterday they published a piece titled "The secret Hamas files". Ronen Bergman, who served in Israeli military intelligence before being hired by the New York Times and has been acting as their main "reporter" on the ongoing Gaza genocide, wrote it based on documents given to him by Israeli intelligence, literally citing whatever anonymous Israeli intelligence agents tell him, and doing straight Mossad propaganda without even a hint of shame. The other author of the piece is Adam Rasgon, who worked for the Jerusalem Post, a deranged Zionist propaganda rag that claimed killed Palestinian babies were fake dolls and "verified" the 40 beheaded babies hoax. He also worked at the Washington Institute for Near East Policy, a Zionist Israel lobby propaganda front founded by AIPAC. In October he co-wrote a deranged screed in the New Yorker putting a kill target on every journalist in Gaza by smearing them all as "Hamas propagandists" (see this thread: https://x.com/sanasaeed/stat/SanaSaeed/status/1719481693826875483). Just look at the byline: "Ronen Bergman, reporting from Tel Aviv, and Adam Rasgon, reporting from Jerusalem." Both served in the Israeli military, with again Bergman serving in military intelligence. Both are deeply committed Zionists, having spent their entire lives devoted to explicitly doing propaganda for Israel. And both are being presented by the New York Times as just neutral objective reporters literally laundering an Israeli propaganda operation as they themselves admit openly in the piece. Why wouldn't they? They know nothing will happen to them. This is par for the course. This is why they were hired. It's their job to launder explicit Israeli propaganda operations. This is considered "journalism" by the New York Times. And everyone in the media class thinks this is perfectly normal, and just gave Bergman a Pulitzer.

@SanaSaeed - Sana Saeed

on January 28 the NYT's Patrick Kingsley and Ronen Bergman published a piece laundering an Israeli propaganda smear against UNRWA, explicitly lying about "a dozen" UNRWA-Hamas workers.

Ronen Bergman was also handpicked to do the Amit Soussana operation. Amit was groomed by the Israeli regime as their final trump card for the "mass rape" hoax, though her uncorroborated allegation completely undermines it. But Bergman did his job: https://t.co/W2ThqTeVor https://t.co/tziKylml8Z

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

it's actually over. Amit Soussana and her 4000 word NYT profile of her unsubstantiated one allegation of one instance of one act of unspecified sexual assault by a rogue guard, not even identified as Hamas, was actually their final push. An allegation that has nothing to do with the "October 7 Hamas systematic mass rape" hoax but in fact debunks it per the claim itself, which is that one rogue random guard did one act of sexual assault and desperately tried to cover it up and hide it from his own fellow guards. That's actually all they have. I thought maybe they actually have more, they have some key physical evidence that Sheryl Sandberg has been waiting to expose in her documentary. But no, they have nothing. They have literally nothing. It was a hoax from start to finish, fabricated by the New York Times primarily, Guardian secondarily, and the BBC thirdly, and it is the biggest case of journalistic malpractice since the WMD hoax

Otmazgin's involvement in the "mass rape" hoax and his role in Sheryl Sandberg's documentary are highlighted. The posts also criticize the Western media for considering Otmazgin a credible source despite his debunked lies. Additionally, the posts mention other Zaka hoaxers and their alleged involvement in fabricating the rape hoax.

BREAKING: The "mass rape" hoax collapses even further. Chaim Otmazgin, a senior Zaka cult commander which is the main source of the "mass rape" and other genocidal propaganda hoaxes, and who is himself a star witness in the Sheryl Sandberg documentary, has just been further exposed as a pathological grifter by Israeli media. For years he falsely claimed to be a lawyer to scam clients out of money, with one client being scammed out of half a million shekels (over $400,000). This depraved scumbag has been touring around the world on behalf of the Israeli regime with his rape hoax lies, and again is prominently featured in the Sandberg hoax documentary, recently screened at the White House by Kamala Harris (see https://x.com/zei_squirrel/status/1802462391445184651). His lies are also prominently included in the "Israeli Rape Crisis Center" report, which continues to be cited as a credible source as it just gathers together all the deranged and debunked hoax lies from the Western media (see https://x.com/zei_squirrel/status/1782081395374121306). In that report and elsewhere, Otmazgin lies about personally seeing and having photos of "bodies with nails and knives in their vagina". This was debunked by NBC News, Haaretz and the UN, who saw the same photos and said he lied. Then the AP debunked a lie of his about a body of a teenage girl he saw with her pants pulled down as evidence of rape. The body had been moved by Israeli troops and the pants were pulled down because of that. Will they now add corrections and retract their pieces relying on this proven fraud huckster grifter's deranged propaganda lies? Of course not. Only Israeli media is allowed to expose him for what he is for their domestic audience. For the Western media class he is still a Credible Serous Source. Even the AP in the piece debunking that rape hoax lie of his desperately defends his credibility, and says he just made an honest mistake because he was "traumatized". These depraved scum have no shame.

And here's what it says about the claims about objects being inserted into people's private parts. This is paragraph 65 of the report, which actually rejects a number of the most prominent Israeli atrocity claims about October 7th. But look at that last sentence. It says, quote, allegations of objects found inserted in female genital organs also could not be verified by the mission team due in large part to the limited availability and low quality of imagery. And then this is paragraph 47 of the same UN report, which addresses the claims about the positions in which bodies were allegedly observed. It points to, quote, erroneous interpretations of the state of bodies by some volunteer first responders without relevant qualifications and expertise. Some examples include mistaking pause postmortem pugilistic posturing, a boxer like body posture with flexed elbows, clenched fists, spread legs, and flexed knees due to burn damage as indicative of sexual violence, misinterpreting anal dilation due to post mortem mortem changes as indicative of anal penetration, and mischaracterizing grazing gunshot wounds to genitalia as targeted genital mutilation using knives. End quote. And those are all precisely things you heard things that you heard people in the Sandberg film saying, especially the people, from Zacher, you you saw Chaim, at at, Mazkin claiming that he saw, people with clenched fists like this as if they were trying to defend themselves. And you just heard what the UN report said about that. Speaker 3: There was an allegation that there were objects like knives, inserted in the genitalia of a of a woman. I mean, the team reviewed the photos, and and, we did not find anything, anything anything like that. And I did mention, like, one of the challenges faced by, of course, by the Israeli government, but which impacted our own work was the fact that inaccurate, unreliable conclusion forensic conclusions were drawn by untrained volunteer first responders, and and we give some examples we give some examples in the report, such as interpreting an anal dilation as anal penetration when according to our forensic expert, it's extensive burn damage. This is what you get in all dilation. And and the the position of the body as a result of severe burn damage, again, interpreted as being sexual violence. We've spread legs, etcetera. So so that also it may not be in in Batriv. I don't know, but it is a fact that we found many instances of unreliable, inaccurate forensic interpretation by untrained, untrained people. Speaker 2: So the UN has rejected the claims, about objects being inserted into bodies, you know, systematically and the mutilation of genitals. But what are other people saying? Speaker 0: Yeah. There are several examples of even generally pro Israel media sources looking at the so called evidence and concluding that these claims are simply not credible. So let's take a look for example at this March 5th article from NBC News about the UN report on alleged sexual violence on October 7th. And right there, you can see that NBC itself looked at the materials Israel gave to the UN team and that supposedly show objects inserted into women's genitalia. And NBC says, quote, NBC News was also shown the photos, but could not independently confirm that nails or a knife had been inserted in the women's bodies based solely on the images, end quote. And even Israel's Haaretz news paper is unable to swallow the claims in that April 18th article that is actually trying to support the contention that the mass rapes took place. Hararritz was apparently shown the same photos by Chaim Ott, Masgen that we just saw Sheryl Sandberg looking at. Haaretz says, quote, Othmagazine showed several of the photographs in his possession to Haaretz, including the ones set to show nails having been inserted into the groin. The photograph was taken almost a week after the massacre and is definitely of poor quality. The possibility that what is depicted is indeed nails seems reasonable, certainly in combination with his testimony, but it's impossible to determine this unequivocally, end quote. So Hiret is is clearly trying to put the best possible spin on this to support of Masgen's claims, but even they are unwilling to, to endorse them. So now let's go back to that April 18th article in Hararritz, and here's what it says, quote, at the Shurer base to which most of the bodies were taken for purposes of identification, there were 5 forensic pathologists at work. In that capacity, they also examined bodies that arrived completely or partially naked in order to examine the possibility of rape. According to a source knowledgeable about the details, there were no signs on any of those bodies attesting to sexual relations having taken place or of mutilation of genitalia, end quote. The article also says that there were police forensic teams at the Shura base and then it says quote, these teams did not document a single case of sexual assault or cases of genital mutilation. End quote. And let's also go back to the UN report which says that the UN team examined thousands of photos and video clips provided by the Israelis. The UN report says, quote, in the medical legal assessment of available photos and videos, no tangible indications of rape could be identified, end quote.

Speaker 0: The list of the dead shows 2 12 year old twins are killed when police and army stormed the house in Bering, But there are no other children. Speaker 1: It was a an interview we did with Sky Television from Britain. Two piles, we found them in Bury. 2 piles of 10 children each were tied back to back and burned to death. Now, again, I mean, if we if we look at the the death figures at Beddie, there are there are only 10 children that died at Beddie. Speaker 2: Not children. It's about, 18 year old. So we're all together. When you look at them and they're burned, you don't know exactly the ages. So you're talking about 18 year old, 20 years old, and, you can't you you you can't you just don't look on the spot, identification to see the ages or something like that. Speaker 0: It is not the only questionable story that Yossi Landau tells about Kibbutz Berri. Speaker 2: We go further, then we see a woman. She was lying on the floor, a puddle of blood, big puddle of blood. She was a pregnant woman. Her stomach was butchered open.

this is amazing. Just in March NPR did an elaborate piece featuring Chaim Otmazgin, laundering his "mass rape" hoax lies to millions. Will they add a correction and retract it after the AP, UN, NBC News, Haaretz exposed him as a pathological liar?

@ArsonAtDennys - aster

Just read this disgraceful piece by @becsully from March that implies Otmazgin’s story about a woman being raped was true. Even the recent AP piece that casts obvious fabrications as innocent mistakes debunks this so will @NPR retract/correct this story? https://www.npr.org/sections/goatsandsoda/2024/03/08/1235269968/israel-hamas-sexual-violence-first-responder

An Israeli responder's work on Oct. 7 shows the challenges of investigating atrocities Israel says Palestinian attackers committed sexual violence on Oct. 7. Some accounts of rape were substantiated by a U.N. report, but the allegations continue to face intense scrutiny. npr.org

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

oh my god, it only gets worse: Not only is Chaim Otmazgin a pathological liar who played a key role in fabricating the "mass rape" hoax, but he also defended the founder of Zaka who was actually a pedophile mass rapist. This is Sandberg's star "witness"

@davidsheen - David Sheen

Israel rescue chief Col. Golan Vach’s deputy Haim Otmazgin defended his child-raping Zaka boss, invented atrocity tales about the corpses he collected after 7 October to incite the Gaza genocide, and is a longtime liar who masqueraded for years as a lawyer https://www.haaretz.co.il/news/law/2024-06-20/ty-article/.premium/00000190-2f0f-d5f5-a5d6-efef996d0000

hey @FrankelJulia @tgoldenberg, you went out of your way to cover for Chaim Otmazgin in your AP piece, saying he just made an honest mistake. He's a pathological liar, and you still haven't corrected his lie about the photo you gleefully laundered for him: https://t.co/ZDYFlwxlR4

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

@AP instead of admitting Zaka hoaxer Chaim Otmazgin is a propagandist liar, the AP desperately tries to launder it as just an honest mistake, accepting his framing of it as such and giving credence to his ongoing lie about "photo evidence" which the UN, NBC News and Haaretz debunked: https://t.co/UwKVh6kdUs

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

@FrankelJulia @tgoldenberg your false claims about the status and conclusion of Patten's UN report, repeated by your AP colleague just yesterday, was also exposed by Patten herself in the Times of London. You did all this to desperately cover for Otmazgin and the "mass rape" hoax https://t.co/KwKC8rHq75

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

I want everyone to know the AP's @apwillweissert is a liar. He just wrote another piece for the AP regurgitating the "Hamas mass rape" hoax, patently lying about Patten's UN report confirming it. Pramila Patten herself has said this is false in the Times of London recently: https://t.co/f1rP8d56cT

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

as the Haaretz piece notes, Otmazgin used his position as a Zaka senior commander to solicit donations for his cult, which was in serious financial trouble after its founder was exposed as a pedophile mass rapist (and again, Otmazgin defends this actual pedophile mass rapist to this day). Also, the conversion for the amount of money Chaim Otmazgin scammed and stole from at least one of his clients we know of so far by masquerading as a lawyer in court is over $135,000, not $400,000 (I accidentally converted 1.5 million shekels instead of the half a million). This is illegal so he should actually be in jail for this, but of course they'll cover for him, just as the AP did in the very same piece in which they exposed one of his depraved propaganda hoax lies.

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

if you have journalistic integrity @FrankelJulia @tgoldenberg, you will correct these glaring errors and outright falsehoods in your reporting, and ensure your AP colleagues will also no longer repeat them. Again, Otmazgin's photos were proven to not show what he claims they show by NBC News, the UN and Haaretz who all reviewed them. Otmazgin is also a proven pathological liar and huckster with a long history of deceit and grifting, and did the same in his position as senior commander for Zaka not just to further the Gaza genocide with his atrocity propaganda, but also to ensure donations would be given to Zaka and himself based on these lies, as Haaretz has reported on (see https://t.co/2YeuQPXqyW). And also accurately report the actual scope, nature and conclusions of Patten's UN report, namely that it was not a full and legal investigation, did not establish any rape/sexual violence beyond reasonable doubt, and did not ascribe any rape/sexual violence to Hamas. Again, she herself reiterated all this in the Times of London just recently: https://t.co/SySqt8VvLN Then also add that the recent UN report by the actual UN body with an investigative mandate concluded they could find no proof of any rape, sexualized torture or genital mutilation on October 7, whereas they did conclude that Israel is responsible for actual systematic and planned mass rape, sexualized torture and violence against Palestinian children, women and men, both since October 7 and long before: https://t.co/itZJr0tP1h https://t.co/aSkgaphPQ5

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

it really is astonishing just how sick and depraved the Western media class is. It is an established fact that Israelis systematically mass rape Palestinian children, boys, girls, men and women in their dungeons. But instead of using the term rape, the BBC and rest of the media class are laundering this actual systematic mass rape by just describing it as one individual case of a person being "severely mistreated". And it's never stated as a fact, but merely an "accusation", an "allegation". To the Western media class, Israelis who are proven systematic mass rapists by the UN, countless testimonies including in Israeli outlets as well as top US officials and human rights organizations, can't rape. They are incapable of raping. These are the same depraved scum who all fabricated and laundered the "mass rape" atrocity propaganda hoax with utter glee, stating it as fact to this very day when it is been entirely debunked. The BBC's mass rape hoax piece is in the first google results, and it includes lines about fetuses cut from wombs, nails and knives inserted into vaginas, broken pelvises, all proven to be hoaxes. Zero corrections on that, no retraction. It's fact now to the media class. The genocidal depravity of these scum knows no limits. And I always make sure to include the names of the authors of these propaganda pieces. @marklowen and @LucyWilliamson are responsible for this. Never forget that.

And the BBC came back and said, the allegations you've made fundamentally misdescribed this person's role and misunderstand the way the BBC works. More broadly, we reject any suggestion of a lenient stance towards either side in this conflict. The Israel Gaza conflict is a challenging and polarizing subject to cover. But when asked to choose the one provider they would turn to for impartial reporting on this story, 3 times as many pick the BBC is to choose our closest competitor. The BBC remains the world's most trusted international news source. Well, you have to read the piece to see what the allegations are and why the BBC staff reject them. The BBC argument is that basically I'm overstating in the case of Raffy Burke his role and his influence. That's his claim. The claim of the BBC, that's what they say. Now what I would say is they put in a vast amount of work and time. I spoke to obviously 13 BBC staff. Overwhelmingly still there. They corroborated their accounts. I saw the evidence.

BBC journalists highlighted a systemic issue during a heated editorial meeting in November 2023. CEO Debra Ternes stated that the situation began on October 7, which sparked backlash from staff, including former World Service head Lillian Landur, who pointed to decades of Israeli occupation as the root cause. Leaked WhatsApp conversations among BBC correspondents revealed frustrations over the network's coverage, particularly after an Amnesty report accused Israel of genocide.

Speaker 0: Now fundamentally of course, BBC journalists emphasized this is a systemic problem. At one editorial meeting in November 2023, when there were lively heated disagreements in an effort to regain control, Debra Ternes, the CEO of BBC News, declared we've got to all remember this all started on the 7th October. That caused a furious response for BBC staff. Lillian Landur, the former head of the BC World Service, disagreed, pointing to the decades of Israeli occupation for the 7th October. She said, no. I'm not gonna I'm gonna have to say that's not the case and I'm sure that's not how you meant to phrase it. I know all this happened because it was corroborated by more than 1 BBC journalist who was present. Now as I was working on the piece, more examples kept coming up. I mean there was leaks to the WhatsApp conversation of multiple BBC correspondents and producers and editors in the Middle East. They're known as the big dogs by BBC Management. When the amnesty report concluded Israel had committed genocide, when that was released, not only, what, the beginning of this month, one of those correspondents noted how the strapliner on the BBC was Israel rejects fabricated claims of genocide. One journalist there said, f f s, it's an open goal for those who say we're fritz of obsessing Israelis and keep on couching our stories in an Israel says narrative. Frit means afraid. As one BBC journalist put it to me, these are established senior correspondents and it's even bothering them.

His concerning history deepened in January 2009. While a BBC journalist, Berg attended a pro-Israel rally supporting Operation Cast Lead. This supported an operation that killed 1,400 Palestinians. Now BBC has amended guidelines which forbid staff from such rallies:

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

The report states Berg went further: He wrote to The Jerusalem Post challenging their crowd estimate of 5,000. He insisted that 15,000 attended the pro-military rally. This wasn't just attending - it was active advocacy while employed by the BBC:

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

By 2020, Berg's bias became even more apparent. He published "Red Sea Spies," a book celebrating Mossad operations. He spent over 100 hours interviewing agents. Became "very close friends" with a commander he called a "legend":

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

When Netanyahu displayed Berg's book on his shelf, Berg couldn't contain his excitement. He celebrated on social media - not once, but twice. This wasn't just pride in his work. It was open alignment with a political figure while controlling BBC's coverage:

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

Today, BBC journalists reveal the extent of Berg's control on Palestine: • Every Palestine story needs his approval • He personally shapes headlines • Removes context about occupation • Systematically waters down criticism • Controls which stories reach the homepage

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

"His reach is terrifying," one journalist revealed in Jones' report. "Every single story about Gaza or Israel must get approved by: • Legal team • Editorial policy • And finally, Berg himself." He's created a systematic filter for Palestine coverage:

The BBC responded to feedback, stating that criticism based on a single screenshot or false claims about coverage is invalid. They noted that while an Amnesty International report accusing Israel of genocide was available on radio, it was not featured on major programs like BBC News at 1, 6, or 10, nor on Newsnight. On December 5, the day the report was released, BBC News at 6 attracted 3.7 million viewers, meaning most missed the report. It appeared on the BBC website 12 hours after the embargo, ranked low in importance, and was not placed in the prominent Israel-Gaza section, significantly reducing its visibility.

Speaker 0: Now the BBC came back to me and said we take feedback on our coverage seriously but criticism of BBC output based on a single screenshot taken during a few seconds of coverage or on false assertions that topics haven't been covered, when they have is invalid and disingenuous. It's quite funny, they're calling their correspondence there disingenuous. Now there was there was another Strapline news that day. Amazon International accuses Israel of genocide. But the BBC kept the report from its main programs. It was on radio stations but journalists note the report was not covered at all on the BBC's flagship news programmes. BC 1's news at 1, news at 6, news at 10, news night, the flagship current affairs programme of BBC 2. Now according to broadcast regulator Ofcom, BC 1 is the most frequent frequented news source in Britain. On 5th December, the day the amnesty report was released, 3,700,000 viewers tuned into the BBC news at 6 alone. The news channel attracts only a small fraction of the audience. So the vast majority of BBC viewers just would not have come across the report. And on the BBC website itself, the report only appeared 12 hours after the embargo was lifted as the 7th value to an order of importance. But then the BBC failed to put it in the Israel Gaza tab at the top of the website. That's always there for people to click on. That meant the traffic was massively reduced. The BBC tell me that was a mistake. Well, an unfortunate mistake. 1 BBC journalist said that was desperate, by the way.

The Muhammad Bhar case exposed Berg's methods: A 24-year-old with Down's syndrome was attacked by an IDF dog. Locked in a room. Left to die. Berg's approved headline? "The lonely death of Gaza man" This wasn't an isolated incident:

Video Transcript AI Summary
I want to share how this piece originated. In July, I was contacted by a BBC journalist regarding the killing of Mohammed Baha, a 24-year-old Palestinian man with Down syndrome and autism. On July 3rd, the Israeli military raided his home, and despite his family's pleas, they unleashed a dog on him. He was later locked away while his family was driven off. A week later, they found his decomposing body. The headlines varied: I titled it "Palestinian with Down Syndrome Left to Die by Israeli Soldiers After Combat Dog Attack," while others framed it differently. The BBC's coverage often favors pro-Israel narratives, as seen in their reporting on the killing of a 16-year-old Palestinian girl, which was presented as an unintentional act by Israeli forces. This contrasts sharply with how similar incidents involving Israeli victims would be reported.

Speaker 0: I want to explain how this piece came about. I was first contacted by a BBC journalist about the killing of Mohammed Baha in July. He was a 24 year old Palestinian man with Down syndrome and autism. He needed round the clock care from his family. He was terrified and traumatized, but an Israeli onslaught he didn't understand. On 3rd July, the Israeli military raided his home and as the family begged for mercy, the Israeli army set their dog on this 24 year old man with Down syndrome and autism as he begged for it to stop. This injured young man was put in a separate room and locked away while the family were driven away at gunpoint. They eventually returned. A week later they found his decomposing body. Now in the Middle East, I correctly headline this Palestinian with Down Syndrome left to die by Israeli Soldiers After Combat Dog Attack. The Independent covered it with Gaza Man With Down Syndrome Mauled by Israeli Attack Dog and Left TO Die, Family Says. The BBC's original headline: The Lonely Death of Gaza Man With Down Syndrome. What the BBC journalist talked, Mitri, was a constant framing of stories on terms favorable to Israel. When the IDF killed a 16 year old Palestinian girl it was all framed in pro Israel terms. The headline Israel says likely killed Palestinian girl in error. The first paragraph Israel says its forces appear to have unintentionally killed a 16 year old Palestinian girl who made a gun battle with militants in the occupied West Bank. Can you imagine if it was the other way around? Can you imagine a 16 year old Israeli girl who'd been killed by Palestinian militants? What? Do you think they frame the headline, 'Palestinian militants say they likely killed Israeli girl in error?' Palestinian militants say their forces appear to have unintentionally killed a 16 year old Israeli girl, oh come on. Obviously you know that wouldn't happen.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Evidence shows a significant disparity in media coverage of Israeli versus Palestinian deaths. Data journalists Dana Najjar and Jan Litava found that mentions of Palestinian deaths spiked in early April, primarily due to an Israeli drone strike on a convoy of the NGO World Central Kitchen, which killed six Western aid workers and one Palestinian driver, Safedidin Abu Taha. The attack garnered extensive Western media attention, but Abu Taha was often referred to only in relation to the Western victims, leading to a surge in mentions of Palestinian deaths without proper recognition of his identity. This incident highlights the chilling reasons behind the unequal coverage.

Speaker 0: The fact is the evidence backs up the assertions. There are so many examples by the way. The brilliant data journalists Dana Najjar and Jan Litava, who I worked with, found that there was far more coverage proportionally for Israeli deaths than Palestinian deaths. Their graph found one major spike of mentions for Palestinian deaths in early April this year. The reasons for this are absolutely chilling. On 1st April, Israeli drones targeted a 3 car convoy belonging to the NGO World Central Kitchen, which was transferring food to a warehouse in northern Gaza after coordinating its movements with Israeli military authorities. Because 6 of the 7 slain aid workers were Westerners, their killings received widespread Western media attention. The 7th worker killed in the attack was a Palestinian driver named Safedidin Abu Taha. In each of the numerous BBC articles about the killing of the group, he's referred to as their Palestinian colleague or the Palestinian driver. Because of this, mentions a Palestinian death surged. As the researchers told me, it's the single largest spike in the whole period in terms of the mentions of the deaths of Palestinians. Even then, siphoned in Abi Taha is very rarely mentioned directly, often only in association with the Western majority white group.

Speaker 0: Before I end, I just want to say one thing. This is one of Speaker 1: the worst crimes of our age. The depravity, the sheer level of suffering, death which has been deliberately consciously created with Western support and complicity and facilitation. Few crimes in history have been so confessed to as this. No crime has been so documented as it actually happened. Now I know there are many journalists or other media outlets who are angry about the coverage that their outlets offer. They think it's a disgrace. Their right to think it's a disgrace. But I'd ask you to follow the example of these BBC journalists. Because do you wanna be complicit in this crime? Because Western media outlets as a whole share the blame for what's happening. Given Israel is a client state of the West, if the Western media actually describe this atrocity for what it actually is, it would stop. So I'd ask this to all the Western journalists. Do you wanna be complicit? Do you wanna live with the shames the rest of your life of knowing that you played a role in this barbarism by your failure to speak out? Because you'll never ever be able to scrub that shame away. I'll be blunt. You will regret it in many cases of that, I'm sure. But that regret will be much too late. Do something. Do something now.

Speaker 0: You might be scared of the consequences. Not like I haven't considered that. I'm not a robot. I'm tougher than I look. Sure. Low bar. But it's not like I don't worry about these things. But do you know what? Do you know what? I'm not a Palestinian journalist trying to report on the trees of this historic abomination knowing that any day, any minute could be my last. That I could be exterminated indeed alongside my entire family. That has been the fate of so many Palestinian journalists in the biggest slaughter of journalists in any conflict ever recorded. That's not the risk I'm facing. Whatever risks we face, it's nothing compared to what these Palestinian journalists are going through as they live through an unimaginable hell in an apocalyptic wasteland that Gaza's been reduced to. We have a privilege. We can speak out without desperately scrabbling for whatever food there is. No health care. The essentials of life deprived of us having to grieve for so many. Constantly in terror for our loved ones and indeed for our own lives. So bluntly, this is my message to fellow Western journalists. Pull yourselves together. Stop being cowards. Stop being complicit in genocide. Time is running out before you're damned forever as someone who helped facilitate one of the worst crimes of our age. Do something. Do something. But do it now.

I conducted a year-long analysis of BBC coverage regarding the Israel-Gaza conflict, highlighting significant bias and double standards. Despite the staggering disparity in Palestinian and Israeli deaths, coverage favored Israeli fatalities. The BBC's portrayal of victims was uneven, using more emotive language for Israelis and interviewing far more Israelis than Palestinians. Context about the occupation was largely absent, and claims of genocide were often dismissed. I urge for an independent review of the BBC's reporting to address these issues.

In light of Iran's claims about WhatsApp sharing location data with Israel, I've been investigating the deep ties between Israeli intelligence and big tech for four years. Meta, Google, Microsoft, and TikTok employ numerous former agents from Unit 8200, Israel's elite cyberwarfare unit. This group is responsible for extensive surveillance and cyber operations, including the creation of targeting software used in military actions. Additionally, I've uncovered former Unit 8200 operatives influencing major media outlets, raising concerns about objectivity and the integrity of information shared with the public.

@AlanRMacLeod - Alan MacLeod

Thread🧵 In light of Iran's allegations about WhatsApp sharing user location data with Israel, it's important to understand how deep Israeli intelligence penetration of big tech firms goes. I've been working on this topic for 4 years. Here's what I found. https://www.mintpressnews.com/revealed-former-israeli-spies-working-top-jobs-google-facebook-amazon/282413/

Revealed: The Former Israeli Spies Working in Top Jobs at Google, Facebook and Microsoft Hundreds of agents from Israeli spying organization Unit 8200 are now employed in top roles at Google, Facebook, Microsoft, and Amazon. mintpressnews.com

@AlanRMacLeod - Alan MacLeod

Firstly, Meta (WhatsApp's parent company) is filled with former intelligence agents from the Israeli Defense Force's elite cyberwarfare battalion, Unit 8200. Chief among these is Emi Palmor, who sits on Meta's Oversight Board - a 21-person panel that ultimately dictates the direction of the company, deciding what content is allowed and what is disallowed. Palmor is a former Israeli spy and later went on to become General Director of the Israeli Ministry of Justice. In this role, she directly oversaw the stripping away of Palestinian rights and created a so-called “Internet Referral Unit” which would find and aggressively push Facebook to delete Palestinian content on its platform that the Israeli government objected to.

@AlanRMacLeod - Alan MacLeod

Another important person at Meta is Eyal Klein, head of data science. Klein spent six years in Unit 8200, rising to the rank of captain.

@AlanRMacLeod - Alan MacLeod

But what is Unit 8200? Put simply, it is the centerpiece of Israel's hi-tech global spying, hacking, and cyberwarfare apparatus. Responsible for covert operations, spying, surveillance and cyberwarfare, since October 7, 2023, the group has been at the forefront of the world’s attention. It is widely identified as the organization behind the infamous pager attack on Lebanon, which left at least nine dead and around 3,000 people injured. Unit 8200 has also constructed an artificial intelligence-powered kill list for Gaza, suggesting tens of thousands of individuals (including women and children) for assassination. This software was the primary targeting mechanism the IDF used in the early months of its attack on the densely populated strip. Using gigantic amounts of data compiled on Palestinians by tracking their every move through face recognition cameras monitoring their calls, messages, emails and personal data, Unit 8200 has created a dystopian dragnet that it uses to surveil, harass and suppress Palestinians. Unit 8200 compiles dossiers on every Palestinian, including their medical history, sex lives and search histories, so that this information can be used for extortion or blackmail later. If, for example, an individual is cheating on their spouse, desperately needs a medical operation, or is secretly homosexual, this can be used as leverage to turn civilians into informants and spies for Israel. One former Unit 8200 operative said that as part of his training, he was assigned to memorize different Arabic words for “gay” so that he could listen out for them in conversations. Unit 8200 operatives have gone on to create some of the world’s most downloaded apps and many of the most infamous spying programs, including Pegasus, which was used to surveil tens of thousands of activists, journalists, and politicians around the world. The Israeli government authorized the sale of Pegasus to the Central Intelligence Agency, as well as some of the most authoritarian governments on the planet. This included Saudi Arabia, who used the software to spy on Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi before he was assassinated by Saudi agents in Türkiye.

@AlanRMacLeod - Alan MacLeod

That is why it is so inappropriate for big tech companies to hire Unit 8200 agents. Among those companies is Google. My investigation revealed at least 99 former Unit 8200 spies in Google's ranks. One notable example is Google's Head of Strategy and Operations, Gavriel Goidel. Between 2010 and 2016, Goidel served in Unit 8200, rising to become Head of Learning at the organization, leading a large team of operatives who sifted through intelligence data to “understand patterns of hostile activists”, in his own words, transmitting that information to superiors. Whether this included any of the over 1000 Gazan civilians Israel killed during their 2014 bombardment of Gaza is unknown. https://www.mintpressnews.com/revealed-former-israeli-spies-working-top-jobs-google-facebook-amazon/282413/

@AlanRMacLeod - Alan MacLeod

Perhaps more alarmingly, Microsoft appears to be actively recruiting from the regiment, hiring people straight from Unit 8200 ranks, without even a career break in between. My investigation found at least 166 former Unit 8200 agents working for Microsoft. https://www.mintpressnews.com/revealed-former-israeli-spies-working-top-jobs-google-facebook-amazon/282413/

@AlanRMacLeod - Alan MacLeod

Even TikTok, long slammed as a pro-Hamas, anti-Israel platform, has recently begun hiring former Unit 8200 agents to run its affairs. Reut Medalion is a particularly notable case in point. Medalion enjoyed a long career at Unit 8200, serving as an intelligence commander and later becoming head of its cybersecurity operations team. In the wake of Israel’s attack on Gaza, she moved to New York City to work as a global incident manager for TikTok’s trust and safety division. Considering the events going on in the world at the time, it is fair to wonder with what sorts of “global incidents” is she helping TikTok. One also has to wonder what sort of pressures TikTok is under, and if they relate at all to hires like these.

If this wasn't bad enough, Unit 8200 agents could also be writing your news about the Middle East. My investigation uncovered a number of Israeli spies working in America's top newsrooms. https://www.mintpressnews.com/revealed-israel-unit-8200-spies-american-media/288457/

@AlanRMacLeod - Alan MacLeod

A case in point is Barak Ravid, who, last year, won the prestigious White House Press Correspondents’ Award “for overall excellence in White House coverage”—one of the highest awards in American journalism. There's one problem: Ravid is an Israeli spy. Or at least he was. And it was only in 2023 that he announced he was no longer serving in Unit 8200's reserve forces. Ravid has been a key tool in the laundering of Israeli and US government talking points into the media. He also doesn't hide his open disgust for Palestinians, and has retweeted posts calling them "PaliNazis", as @zei_squirrel explores here:

@zei_squirrel - ☀️👀

this is amazing. Barak Ravid, who is considered by the Western media class to be the greatest most objective neutral "journalist" on the ongoing Gaza genocide even though he served in Israeli military intelligence and constantly launders Israeli propaganda, is now openly

@AlanRMacLeod - Alan MacLeod

Other former Unit 8200 spies who went on to have influential media careers include Shachar Peled and Tal Heinrich, who CNN hired to produce political news (including about 🇮🇱/🇵🇸) for American audiences. Heinrich left CNN and is now the official spokesperson of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, lol.

Speaker 0: My name is Aaron. I've been with Facebook for two years now, and I'm a product policy manager. Speaker 1: What does your job entail? We're part of the team that writes the rules for Facebook. If something violates our standards for safety and security, what Facebook could, should, can do. You and your team are faced with very important decisions, especially when it comes to content. There's very little agreement whether we should be leaving more content up, taking more content down with any particular rule or issue that we're looking at where something has come up where the rules are not 100% clear, we're not gonna make everybody happy. How does your team work on that? Transparency is incredibly important in the work that I do. How do we think about the balance between harmful content and protecting from the speech? It's a balance. Does it ever make you feel uncomfortable to be put in a position where you're having to draw the line? Yes. And I think it should make me uncomfortable and all of us who do this work. If 99% of the people are expressing themselves, sharing their family photos, exchanging ideas, point 001% are encouraging violence or spreading harmful content that can ruin the thing for everybody. These decisions can have real effects on people. We are developing rules and policies without regulation. We're really navigating that space as best we can. Why would updating regulations help you? Regulation can help us better define what is acceptable and what's not. I think a standardized approach would help platforms all across the board actually give us guidelines where right now there's very few. Technology has changed so quickly. We need the legislative and regulatory space to catch up. Regulation can help us better define what the balance of those rules should be.

It is a similar story on Reddit, where one day in 2017, the company hired Jessica Ashooh to become its Director of Policy, giving her huge control over what was allowed on the platform, and what would be suppressed. To say the decision was a surprise is a huge understatement, as Ashooh had no relevant qualifications and expertise. In fact, her primary achievement before that was as a high government official. In May 2017, she suddenly quit her job at the Deputy Director of the Atlantic Council (NATO) Middle East Task Force. There, she had been overseeing the US' dirty war in Syria, which led to the overthrow of Bashar Al-Assad and the founder and head of Al-Qaeda in Syria becoming president. She was then parachuted into Reddit, and rapidly changed the direction of the site. My investigation: https://www.mintpressnews.com/jessica-ashooh-reddit-national-security-state-plant/277639/

Haiti Betrayed is a searing indictment of Canadian leaders’ complicity in the international oppression of this long-suffering nation.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Haiti's history is marked by both resilience and external interference. Following a successful slave rebellion in 1791 that led to independence in 1804, Haiti faced international isolation and a demand from France for reparations, crippling its economy for decades. In 1915, the US invaded and occupied Haiti for 20 years, seizing gold reserves and imposing forced labor. The Duvalier dictatorship, supported by a US-trained army, further terrorized the population. The rise of the Lavalas movement and the election of Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 1990 offered hope, but a coup, backed by wealthy families and the army, ousted him. After Aristide's return, he was later removed again in 2004, in a move many see as a coup supported by the US, Canada, and France. This was followed by a UN military occupation and the installation of an interim government. Subsequent elections were controversial, and the country continues to struggle with poverty, corruption, and external interference, hindering its progress towards true democracy and self-determination.

Speaker 0: Anybody who has come to Haiti has experienced it, the Haitian people. They are very welcoming toward foreigners. Anywhere you go, they will offer you whatever little they have. Haitian are proud, or they used to be. Speaker 1: Haiti has always been a bad example that needed to be stopped because if a country run by former slaves was allowed to succeed, it would undermine the foundations of slavery. So you could not let Haiti function. Speaker 2: It was really tragic for us when we started to understand that the Canadian government was actively undermining the Haitian government. Speaker 0: The Canadian people are kept deliberately ignorant of the Haitian reality. Speaker 3: On the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic, Haiti becomes another Caribbean scene of crisis. Haitians are a carefree, happy people who meet adversity with humor and the dance, but they are capable of being very explosive. Speaker 4: Haiti was the most profitable, the most lucrative, the most intensely worked part of the slavery system. It was the place where a lot of power and wealth was concentrated in in a particularly brutal form, a very highly exploitative form, where slaves were worked to death so fast that they could hardly reproduce in Haiti. They had to be constantly replenished from Africa. It was spectacularly successful. It it made the French vast amounts of money in the eighteenth century in particular. Speaker 5: In 1791, the Haitian slaves rebelled. By eighteen o four, they had defeated Napoleon's vast army and created the world's first black republic. Speaker 4: It was a profoundly threatening thing and it challenged France, it challenged Britain, it challenged Spain, they all tried to stifle it and squash it. Speaker 0: Haiti is probably the worst nightmare in history of the powerful people and the powerful country. Speaker 5: When France lost Haiti, its most lucrative colony, it lost one third of its entire economy. Speaker 0: When slaves, cattle, liberate themselves, you cannot have a worst nightmare for the powerful countries. Haiti must be made to fail and to simmer in misery. The French lost the war, but Speaker 4: they must make sure that the example doesn't spread. So they stifle it. They basically put a blockade on Haiti, and they try and freeze it into a permanent poverty. Speaker 2: France had gone into the waters of Haiti with 15 warships in 1825. Friends demanded that Haiti pays them reparations for having lost their property. And so they demanded a CHF150,000,000. Speaker 5: No other country has been forced to pay their former colonizer for the loss of slaves and territory. Speaker 4: They basically put Haiti into debt on a permanent basis all through the nineteenth century, and they only finished paying it off after World War two. Speaker 1: Haiti has always been an example of something, a bad example that needed to be stopped. When Haiti became independent thirty years after The US declaration of independence, it posed a great challenge to the limitations of US democracy. Speaker 5: In 1915, US marines invaded and occupied Haiti for twenty years. They seized Haiti's gold reserves, imposed a new constitution and pressed Haitians into forced labor. Haitians rebelled, thousands died. The rebel leader, Charlemagne Prout was executed and his body put on display. The marines trained an army that supported decades of dictatorship and terror culminating in the dynasty of Papa Doc Duvalier. And his son, Baby Doc. The Duvaliers ruled for thirty years, terrorizing the population and killing 50,000 Haitians. Speaker 6: I got arrested. I got picked up by the political police back then, the SD, the service, the security. It accused me of trying to overthrow the government. It was, at the time, not a very good thing to do to question politics or question how come we have a dictator, how come the people are so poor. Speaker 5: Bobby Duval was jailed without a trial at the notorious Fort Dimanche Prison in Port Au Prince. Speaker 6: We counted. A 180 people died right in front of me and myself. I was down to ninety pounds. I had tuberculosis. I was spilling blood. You know, I was in the brink of death. Had I been one more week in that cell, I would have died. Speaker 5: During the baby doc era, The US pushed for neoliberal free market policies in Haiti. Speaker 4: The tariffs that protected Haitian agriculture are slowly being knocked away. Small farmers have a harder and harder time surviving, and so they have to go into the cities. And they're driven there by destitution, and they arrive with nothing. They're concentrated into slums, and they're obliged then to work in the new factories that develop at the same time as part of the same policy. Speaker 5: With extremely low wages and almost no taxes on business, Port Au Prince became an assembly plant destination. Speaker 4: So these are factories that are set up largely by multinationals or people contracting through multinationals to make jeans and t shirts and baseballs and things like this, and to exploit this new labor where people are forced to work literally for pennies an hour. Speaker 5: In the nineteen eighties, resistance to the Duvalier dictatorship grew. The movement became known as Lavalas, the flood. Speaker 0: People joined into this great cry for a new Haiti, a new state, a new society. The La Valas was not so much a movement to gain political power as one to be pushing forward what the people of Haiti truly wanted. Speaker 5: Facing mass protests, Baby Doc fled to his villa in France. He left the country bankrupt. After four more years of military rule, public pressure forced Haiti's first ever free elections. Speaker 1: The nineteen ninety elections were were one of the most important steps in Haiti's history because it was the first time that the majority of the population was given the right to to choose their elected leadership. Speaker 5: Jean Bertrand Aristide ran for president. He was a charismatic priest who had survived four assassination attempts. His candidacy galvanized the impoverished majority. Aristide was part of the Catholic liberation theology movement, advocating justice for the poor. Speaker 2: You have a small group of families, 15 or 20 families, who basically control the island for their own benefit, but also for the benefit of the multinational corporations. Speaker 5: The wealthy families and the US government lavishly funded Aristide's opponent, a former World Bank official. The poor turned out en masse to elect Aristide with 67% of the vote. The US backed candidate received 14%. Speaker 7: That was so great because that was for me the first time in my life experience that I could see all people from Haiti committed, like, to one thing, which is for our seed to have his chance to run the country as someone who really represented, like, the hope of this nation. It Speaker 8: was a moment of defiance because before, you never had somebody like Aristide daring to be a candidate and becoming a president. We had great hope. Speaker 4: They had a moderate plan for shifting the orientation of the economy from the rich to the poor, moderate land reform, taxations. So they began to enforce tax collection, for example. That was very unpopular with the rich, but it was popular, for example, with the IMF who gave this government quite a good write up in the 1991. Speaker 5: The government immediately came under siege by the wealthy families and the army. Speaker 2: Aristide represented a threat precisely where the economic elite cared. Speaker 4: By September, they're ready to launch a coup, which is undertaken by the army with the support of the big business families. The very first night, hundreds of people are killed, and they launch Reign of Terror that is designed to break the back of this popular movement. Speaker 5: The army seizes power seven months after Haiti's first democratic election. Aristide narrowly escapes assassination and is forced into exile. Speaker 4: The army then takes over, and for three years, for three full years, they control the country and they reorient the economy back in the old ways. Speaker 8: We never had a chance. Yes. We had an election. Yes. We voted somebody. But it's like putting a seat on the ground, you never been able to see it go because it's somebody keep coming in and stabbing it. Speaker 5: Military death squads kill 4,000 Lavalas supporters. 60,000 people flee the terror. Most are detained by the US Coast Guard at Guantanamo Bay. After three years, President Clinton negotiated Arastid's return to Haiti to halt the flood of boat people. Speaker 0: President Arastid had to accept compromises with the international community in order to stop the massacre of La Valas people. Speaker 5: Clinton forced Aristide to continue to allow The US to dump surplus rice in Haiti. This disastrously undercut Haitian farmers. Speaker 4: He comes back with his hands quite severely tied. He's forced to make some quite unpopular decisions, he is at least able to get rid of the army. Speaker 1: The biggest impact was that you removed a repressive force that was not only killing and imprisoning people that it didn't like, but was completely distorting all of Haiti's policy, including its basic electoral policy because you could not have fair elections while there was the army in place. Speaker 5: Aristide enlisted the support of the Canadian government to help train Haiti's first ever national police force. Gary Auguste was one of a 100 recruits trained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Haiti. Speaker 8: We were asked to come to serve our country. And after our training, we were told that we're gonna change the way people see the police, Asians, to serve Haiti, serve and protect the people. Speaker 5: But The US pushed notorious ex army officers into key positions in the force. Speaker 8: You arrest someone because they committed a crime, they were supposed to be in jail until the judge make a decision. Wow. The next morning, they're out. Speaker 5: Aristide's government made some crucial reforms in spite of stiff resistance by the wealthy elite. Speaker 9: It's important to see that, in fact, their record in government was filled with very significant and remarkable accomplishments. Their agenda around issues such as education and health care, HIV AIDS, attempting to use what modest resources they had access to to deliver real programs and support for the population is very, very important. Speaker 5: The Haitian constitution bans consecutive presidential terms. Renny Praval, also part of the Lavalas movement, ran for president. Speaker 4: He was an agronomist, and he wasn't a politician, but he was somebody who was a good administrator, a man of integrity, and who had a rapport with the people. Speaker 5: Preval was elected by a wide margin. It was Haiti's first peaceful and democratic transition of power. The election of Winnie Preval put us in a Speaker 2: path that made everyone believe that we were done with this idea of coup d'etat, and that now we can focus on building the infrastructure of the country. Speaker 5: Preval increased government services in rural areas where the majority of Haitians live. The literacy rate increased by 20%, and the malnutrition rate dropped by twelve percent. Speaker 10: In eighteen o four to 1919, the state bill only 33 secondary score. During the period of Lavalas in 1990, in 02/2004, they bill one hundred and thirty eighth secondary school. This improved their right of education. Speaker 5: Tens of thousands of Haitians, many of them women, participated in a nationwide literacy program. The Clinton administration pressured Preval to privatize the remaining state owned industries and remove tariffs on US exports to Haiti. Speaker 2: What Preval did is that he dragged his feet in terms of privatization. Speaker 1: Under president Preval's first term, he did privatize a couple state owned entities, the flour mill and the cement mill. Speaker 5: Prime minister Jean Cretien began to align Canada's policy in Haiti with Clinton's neoliberal agenda. Speaker 2: After the election of Cuival, we had the constant positioning of Canada to do whatever The United States is doing in Haiti. Speaker 1: Canada withheld support to the justice system, not because the justice system wasn't improving, in fact, it was, but because they didn't like some of the economic policies of the of the Haitian government. Speaker 6: I think that the establishment of The United States has a kind of an accord with the establishment of Canada where Canada is gonna play more of a front role of trying to, I hate to say it, but dominate this country, put it bring it in line or something. Speaker 5: Aristide and the Lavalas party won a landslide majority in the two thousand elections. Speaker 1: Once it became clear to The United States and to the political elites in Haiti that the grassroots would not back down, then they felt they needed to react, that they could no longer attempt to manipulate elections, that they had to actually throw out the results of those elections. The United States government knew very well that the elections were in fact basically fair elections, but that really didn't matter because they didn't care about elections. They cared about making sure that their friends were in power. Speaker 5: Aristide was reelected as George w Bush took office. Speaker 11: What did the Bush administration do from the first day? It froze every penny of international aid. While giving it to dictatorships all over the world, It squeezed Haiti. For what purpose? To bring this guy down. For what purpose? Okay. What happens? You go into a balance of payments crisis, which they did. Right. The currency collapses, inflation soars, living standards fall, and then they say he didn't serve his people. Speaker 4: We're talking about a national budget that is somewhere in the region of 350 to $400,000,000. It's about a third of the budget for a single big hospital in a city like Boston. It's a pathetically small amount of money in a very poor country where you're trying to, you know, build up basic infrastructure and health education and the rest of it. Speaker 5: Canada also withdrew financial aid to pressure the Haitian government. In desperation, Aristide turned to the French government to redress payments France have extorted for the loss of slaves and territory. Speaker 2: Aristide went out there on a full campaign to remind the French that there is a historical debt. Aristide told friends, let's start addressing this issue of restitution to see how you can gradually return some of the funds to Haiti. Speaker 4: So it's a priority for France that this claim be discredited and that the government that's pushing it be got rid of, basically. And they become very keen on this. Speaker 5: In early two thousand and three, Canada hosted a meeting to discuss regime change in Haiti. The meeting was held at Meech Lake in Quebec. Speaker 2: High level diplomats from France, The United States, and other places. No Haitians as far as we know. And the outcome of the meeting is that Haiti must be put under UN tutelage. Irish steed must go, and Haiti must be given a new military and a new police force. Speaker 5: Transcripts of the meeting were heavily redacted. Speaker 1: The reason that it was an Ottawa initiative rather than a Washington initiative was that having it organized and backed by Canada allowed a very undemocratic initiative to coast on Canada's reputation of being more respectful of democracy. Speaker 2: We realized that there's a lot that we didn't understand yet about how Canada uses this image of good cop. Like, we're not the Americans. Therefore, we can go and do the job and not get noticed. Speaker 0: Canada was always held by Haitians to be a benign partner. And Canada had shown over the years a modicum of autonomy related to The US. But I'd say that in the last ten, twenty years, this has changed. Speaker 5: The US pressured Canada to join the coalition invading Iraq. Prime minister Jean Cretien refused. Canada ramped up funding to aid organizations willing to oppose the Haitian government. Speaker 9: The Canadian government and a number of other Canadian institutions, nongovernment groups, played a very direct and central role in this process. There was a disinformation campaign that these forces were involved in. Speaker 1: Because you had Canadian organizations that had a good reputation, that silenced a lot of the critics, within the human rights movement, within the pro democracy movement, and, progressive organizations around the world. Speaker 5: Haitian business elites stepped up their disinformation campaign. Speaker 12: But what I'm saying that I still have still has been, for me, the biggest imposter that the East the world history has ever known. Speaker 5: Reginald Bulos and Andy Apaid are prominent Haitian business leaders with many ties to The US and the old dictatorships. Speaker 7: Aristide built an occult criminal machine, Speaker 0: which is managed straight from the palace in the Ministry of Interior. Speaker 12: Presenting himself as a savior of aid, as a priest who wanted change, and basically having institutionalized structure, drug dealing, corruption, killing, and kidnap. Speaker 7: I know he's a very determined man. Harris Aristee still won't go away until he's on his knees. Speaker 1: The traditional way of getting rid of a Haitian leader who didn't follow instructions by by Haitian elites or or the international community was an army coup d'etat. And because president Darafried had demobilized the army, that was no longer possible. Speaker 5: Instead, paramilitary death squads based in the Dominican Republic began staging raids across the border with covert backing from The United States. Speaker 13: They didn't have support of the population or far from it. It was the manipulation of the international community that actually gave them the the possibility to move around the country, to get access to arms, be trained in the Dominican Republic, and then go into Haiti and start sacking the police stations and courts and killing people with indiscriminately and in total impunity. Speaker 4: You have these guys who are put into action pretty much on the contra model, attacking police stations, terrorized population, particularly in the center of the country where it's pretty remote and people are pretty defenseless. Speaker 5: The paramilitaries were led by Guy Philippe, a former officer in the Haitian army. Speaker 14: At the time, people like Andy Payne claimed that they had no links with the paramilitary forces coming from the Dominican Republic. They claimed that they were a purely nonviolent opposition. In reality, they were maintaining the links that they had always maintained with members of the death squads that had terrorized Haiti in the past and financing Guy Fili's our militaries. Speaker 5: In early two thousand and four, the paramilitary forces invaded many towns in Northern Haiti, overpowering the Haitian national police. Speaker 8: The police wasn't equipped to fight another army. They were moving toward one target to eliminate the leadership in Port Au Prince so they can take over and continue what they left off after the first coup in 1991. Speaker 0: We will not be discouraged as the first black independent country in the world. We will continue to fight in a legal way all those willing to destroy our democratic process. Speaker 6: They invented, you know, this concept of intervention, humanitarian intervention because, first of all, they demonize you. They you're a second class citizen. You cannot guide yourself. You cannot rule yourself. You're unruly, and therefore, they need to intervene for you to bring you up to the level of how to live as a human being. To me, it's a it's a it's a same old recipe, but under new ingredients, basically. That's what it is. Speaker 0: That crowd was humongous. Nobody in the press talked about it. But also that crowd, even though president Aristide was under siege, that crowd was absolutely not aggressive. People were simply saying five years. Speaker 10: But we have only one thing. Okay. We spent five five here to Palestine. After that, they can take the government by election. Speaker 5: CARICOM, a group of 14 Caribbean countries appealed to the United Nations to support Haiti. Speaker 1: They requested that the UN Security Council send an armed force to try to defend Haiti's democracy. The Security Council never responded. Speaker 5: The US and France quashed the CARICOM motion. In late February two thousand and four, The US, Canada, and France sent troops to Haiti without UN authorization. Speaker 1: They initially said that that deployment was there to protect national interests, but that was clearly not what they were doing. And the Canadian troops, for example, were securing the perimeter of the airport. The United States troops were occupying strategic points all over Haiti that had nothing to do with protecting US citizens. Speaker 0: Violence is not the way to solve our problems. Dialogue, compromise, tolerance, elections, this is what we need. My goal is to be flexible, to work with rich and poor, to work with the opposition and level us such a way to invest in health care, to invest in education, to invest in infrastructure, and have Haiti in a better situation. Speaker 15: One final very quick question. How soon does the situation need to be resolved in your mind before it becomes critical, seriously critical? Days, weeks? Speaker 0: Days. Could even say hours. Speaker 7: Thank you very much. Speaker 16: Thanks to you. Speaker 14: Alright. Let's go. Speaker 5: Before dawn, while Canadian forces lock down the airport, US special forces enter Aristide's home. Speaker 17: Saturday night, there were all kinds of rumors flying that Aristide was going to be taken out, or he was fleeing the country. Sunday morning, journalists started heading for the airport and got there just as he was being loaded into the American plane and and taken away. And then there was all confusion about that, like, what just happened? Speaker 13: Everyone wakes up and the president is in a flight to Central African Republic and no one really knows why. The US saying that Aristide actually resigned from power, which was not the case. I mean, he was removed from from office, from his country, from his home by The US and and Canada because they didn't agree with his political agenda. Speaker 5: Aristide was removed two months after the bicentennial of Haitian independence. There Speaker 2: is a racial dimension to this coup that is rarely spoken about. Haitians created their nation as a result of Africans rising up against the Europeans who have instituted a system of racial slavery. Now that's what they were celebrating in 02/2004, the end of slavery. And the international community doesn't see any problem with having white soldiers enter the residence of the black president in Haiti on that year of the bicentennial and just go with him and dump him in Africa. Speaker 1: One of the saddest aspects of the kidnapping was that everybody saw it coming. First of all, for years, had a weakening of the Haitian government, and then you had troops coming over from the Dominican Republic. But then you had troops from Canada, France, and The US just openly disembarking on a plane at Haiti's airport. And in the end, you had US troops physically kidnapping a president, and there was nothing that the Haitian government could do about it. Speaker 5: Hours after Arastid was removed, the United Nations authorized a military occupation of Haiti. Speaker 1: In a matter of a few minutes on a Sunday morning, the UN, which was not able to lift a finger to support an imperiled democracy, was able to plan a military intervention in Haiti. Speaker 5: Paramilitary forces entered Port Au Prince the day after the coup. Speaker 17: Once the rebels arrived in Port Au Prince, my fixer arranged an interview for me with Paul Arcelain. Speaker 6: See, I helped to organize this front, and I'm happy to see the result, the downfall of a dictatorship. Speaker 17: What I discovered was that they had been in cahoots with the Canadian politicians to plan this entire thing. He told me, oh yeah, he had recently been in Ottawa and met with Pierre Pettigrew, who was the minister of intergovernmental affairs. And he pulled out Pierre Pettigrew's business card and showed it to me and said, when we were at his office, he gave me his card. What I had been fed all along by the Canadian government was in fact not true. This coup was basically backed by Ottawa. Speaker 15: Certain voices speak of the circumstances of mister Arajeet's departure as constituting a form of coup d'etat. Mister speaker, this was not a coup d'etat. This was the Security Council of the United Nations acting with the highest authority of the charter to restore order. Speaker 18: Are we going to say we have a right to determine what elected officials should be removed and which ones should be allowed to stay? I don't support that. Speaker 19: The fact of the matter is that president Aristide was elected as president with the support of well over 80% of the people of Haiti. Speaker 16: When do we move into another country? When in fact are we party to regime change, which we have been now? Speaker 19: When did The United States, when did France, indeed, did Canada take under itself the power to decide which democratically elected leader should be overthrown? Speaker 2: It's not just Irish dean who was overthrown. It's the whole of government, including the legislative branch. Speaker 17: We do a very good job of selling ourselves as defenders of human rights and democracy, and so it's very hard for Canadians to believe that Canada would be involved in such an underhanded, sly operation as this. It Speaker 8: was too obvious that the same guys who were killing after the first coup is back again killing after the second coup. It's a repetition. Speaker 1: There was significant bloodshed in Haiti. The city morgue had 1,000 unclaimed bodies in the month of March, and they said most of those were victims of violence. And that was only victims of violence in Port Au Prince whose bodies were not recovered by friends or families. Speaker 9: That violence and repression did not get reported, including by the same nongovernment organizations that were really screaming bloody murder about the supposed human rights record of the Aristide government, they suddenly went silent. Speaker 13: At the time, there was like a veil of secrecy on what was going in Haiti, and very few actors actually were trying to break that veil and raise their voices. Speaker 5: Days after the coup, Gerard La Tortue, a former World Bank official, was installed as prime minister. His regime was immediately recognized by The US, Canada, and France, but not by the CARICOM countries, the African Union, or the US Congressional Black Caucus. Speaker 2: As soon as the coup took place, La Tourchette came and declared that the French don't need to worry about restitution, and they don't owe any anything to the Haitians anymore. Speaker 5: La Tortue ridiculed the reparations claim and declared a three year tax holiday for business. He quickly canceled scores of Lavalas programs, including school meals, the literacy campaign, and even the distribution of iodized salt. Speaker 14: The whole Canadian government was engaged in a massive public relations campaign in support of Gerard L'Etortue's government, and this at a time when it was committing atrocious human rights abuses. Speaker 20: Prime Minister L'Etortue was extremely pleased with the support Canada has already given. He started the meeting by expressing his immense gratitude to the people of Canada and to the government of Canada, and he knows that we will continue to respond to the needs of the population here. Speaker 14: So whereas the democratically elected government of Lavalas had its funding reduced to almost nothing, when LACART two comes to power, the aid tap is turned on. Speaker 2: What we find ironic is that, this display of generosity happens so visibly after a coup. Whereas every time Haiti has a legitimate government, we don't see that kind of display of solidarity. Speaker 5: Three months later, troops from Canada, The US and France were replaced by a United Nations military and police force called Manusta. Speaker 17: This is the first time we've seen the UN move into a country where there's been a coup staged by other countries, and then the UN goes in to maintain calm afterwards because the people are furious that their democratically elected leader has been taken out of the country by force by other countries. Like, it's just I don't think I can't think of any other place where that has ever happened. And it's shocking that it it's not questioned. Speaker 5: Minusta imposed armed control of neighborhoods that had supported the Lavalas government. Speaker 1: What the multinational force was doing, they would secure a perimeter which would then allow the Haitian police or gang to go in and do the killing. The presence of the multinational troops would prevent any help from coming in to the Lavalas supporters who were being massacred. Speaker 8: They were dead squad. They will just come and take you and then you're dead. You disappeared. So you don't protest, so you don't speak up. Speaker 5: Canadian police trainers were back in Haiti, training police officers for a force that routinely hunted down Lavalas supporters. Speaker 1: The RCMP would try to take some distance by saying, oh, we're just doing training, we're not doing operations. But at some point, if you are training groups that are systematically killing, you need to take some responsibility. Speaker 14: The Haitian National Police have freedom of movement and and their own will to behave or not behave properly. Speaker 13: What's difficult to to grasp is that their personnel were assisting the Haitian National Police to do whatever they wanted in in those communities. Just Speaker 5: after a wave of police violence, Canadian prime minister Paul Martin visited Haiti in support of the La Tortue regime. Speaker 14: Martin made the astonishing declaration that there were no political prisoners in Haiti. At the time, Haiti's jail was absolutely packed with political prisoners. Speaker 5: The Justice and Peace Commission of the Catholic Church estimated there were 700 political prisoners in Haiti. Speaker 1: When prime minister Martin in the 2004 said that there were no political prisoners in Haiti, that undermined the the efforts by human rights advocates and pro democracy activists in Haiti and abroad to try to bring an end to the repression. Speaker 5: People in City Soleil, a stronghold of Lavalas support in Port Au Prince, tried to protect themselves. Speaker 0: The people organized themselves so not as to live another nightmare had they had during the first coup. Speaker 5: The Haitian elite framed all resistance to the police and minusta as the work of gangs. Speaker 12: 250,000 people are still living under the terror of gang leaders and gang institutions. It's an outrage that the minusta has taken so long to do anything about citizenship. Speaker 0: That resistance irritated the the the moneyed people, and they were pressuring minister military force to go and attack city Soleil with their full military might. Speaker 13: The killings, the rapes that were committed from 2004 to 02/2006, and no one has been brought to trial. There's a total impunity. Speaker 5: Quasi democratic elections were held in 2006 in a climate of fear and repression. They were financed by The US, Canada, and the European Union. Candidates from the Fanmi Lavalas Party were not allowed to run for office. Speaker 1: Excluding the Lavalas party is tantamount to, in Canada, excluding the Liberals from an election. But Speaker 5: paramilitary leader Guy Philippe was allowed to run for president, even though he had been responsible for multiple killings. Big business families also had their candidates. Speaker 9: Like I said, Haitians are very, very smart people. They know they wanna be like me. Speaker 0: Okay? Speaker 6: Mhmm. Yep. Speaker 9: I think that Speaker 15: democracy is is a flower that you have to retain all the time. Speaker 9: At the end of the day, we don't wanna live Speaker 15: with the nostalgia of the past. Speaker 14: Denis Croder participated in many different delegations to Haiti, which is in and of itself significant because it implies a diplomatic recognition of a regime that had been installed through an illegitimate process, an unconstitutional coup d'etat. On many occasions, he said explicitly when talking to the press, you know, this is in order to bolster the political legitimacy and to to signal Canada's recognition of this regime. Speaker 12: Mister Deniko there has come here 11 times. And every time they fought for, it's kind of that will kick back and say, we put some more money there. Speaker 5: There were 35 presidential candidates in 2,006, but little interest in the election until former president Rene Preval entered the race. Preval ran with a new party circumventing the exclusion of Lavalas. There was a large voter turnout, but Preval polled just short of the 50% needed for an outright win. Days after the election, thousands of ballots marked for Preval were found in the Port Au Prince dump. Mass demonstrations broke out. UN officials were forced to reexamine the vote. Rene Preval was declared president for a second term. Praval's room to govern, like Aristides, was severely limited by The United States. Speaker 2: Pravel kind of played this dance with the Americans and the Europeans. You know, thanks to WikiLeaks, we now can read some of what was happening behind the scenes in a way that they never actually trusted him. Multinational corporations operating in Haiti basically control the island to maintain what they call Haiti's comparative advantage. That is cheap labor. So if there's demonstration in Mexico, then we can always tell them, well, you know, we might just pack up and go to Haiti. Speaker 5: Preval sought Canadian assistance to develop basic services and governance skills. But most Canadian aid bypassed the Haitian government and went instead to nongovernment agencies and corporations. Speaker 21: This morning, I saw firsthand the progress achieved on the security front during a visit to Cite Soleil. It's gratifying to see Canadian aid achieving real results for the long suffering people of that community. Speaker 5: Canada made it a priority to build police garrisons and prisons, even though 70% of Haitian prisoners have never had a trial. Speaker 10: We don't need prison in Haiti, but we need more a system who respect the rule of law. How the Carnegie people can help us to do that. That's why we're looking for, not for prisons. Speaker 16: When the earthquake hit, I was in the basement of a little office building, and the building began to crack apart. The noise is horrendous. We got out onto the street afterwards. The streets were blocked by rubble, collapsed walls, collapsed buildings. People immediately began digging the survivors out of the rubble, and they laid them in the street because there was nowhere else to put them. Because the hospitals, so many had collapsed, people began to call together little bits of first aid bandages, antiseptic, and set up clinics all over the city. 26 of the 30 main government ministry buildings collapsed. One in four civil servants died. And the already weak government was totally incapacitated. I wondered if my friends were alive. And you're stepping over bodies, trying not to step on the bodies in the darkness. You know, you're trying to see what's there. There's clouds of dust in the street. People are screaming. People are some people are singing to try and get through it. It was eerie. It was terrible. After the quake, The US stepped in to take control of the airport, but they gave a huge priority to setting up their own camp and making a virtual garrison. Almost no aid was coming out. On day five, we got word we could get the medical supplies for the airport. But when I got in, I couldn't get permission from the Canadian troops to take the antiseptics and antibiotics and bandages that all the clinics in the city had completely run out of at this point. I couldn't get permission to take it out. They told me to call Ottawa. Thousands of people across the city were dying for lack of what was piling up inside that compound, and we couldn't get it done. Speaker 22: Give us an idea of what what your day was like today. What are the kinds of things that you're doing down there to help the Haitians? Speaker 23: More and more what we're finding is people are running out of water altogether or using water of lower and lower quality. Speaker 22: And why is that, Dave? You think by now, ten days in, that, they'd start addressing some of those issues. What have the problems been that you've seen? Speaker 23: Well, there's just been no major aid on the ground. Speaker 22: UN officials keep saying it's gonna get out, but clearly it's not getting out fast enough. Speaker 23: This is day 10. This is day 10 since the earthquake. Speaker 5: Most poor areas of the city were off limits to major aid organizations because the US State Department had designated them as high risk zones. Speaker 16: What was the origin of these zones? Who decided that these people are too dangerous to be helped or so dangerous that even major aid organizations have to stay away? Who got aid? Who lived and who died after the quake? Because when that aid didn't get to the injured people especially, they'd die by the hundreds, by the thousands. Speaker 24: There was such an expectation that the country was going to erupt in in violence. Speaker 5: Jonathan Montpetit bunked in with Canadian troops at the Port Au Prince Airport. Speaker 24: Canadian government officials were anxious about the possibility that Aristide would return from exile and foment an uprising in the midst of the chaos following following the earthquake. This fear that Irish deed was gonna return and create a revolution in the wake of the earthquake is so far from reality, so far from the minds of Haitians who were simply trying to survive, simply trying to make it from one day to the next. The fear of instability after the earthquake made it so that thousands of people died needlessly. Speaker 5: The earthquake killed more than two hundred thousand people. Ten months after the earthquake, UN troops dumped their sewage into Haiti's main river system, introducing cholera. Speaker 16: The cholera was a terrible blow coming so soon after the earthquake. And it hit the poor the hardest. They didn't have clean water, poor sanitation. One day, you'd be working with somebody, and the next day, they were dead. It was terrifying. And then on top of that, the UN didn't acknowledge responsibility for the cholera, and people were angry about it. Speaker 5: The international community insisted that elections go ahead in late twenty ten. Speaker 16: People were dying every day from the cholera. Some days, hundreds of people and all over the country. And in the middle of this, the priority is elections. They couldn't postpone the elections. It just made no sense. Speaker 5: The US and Canada again financed the elections. Lavalas was again blocked from running candidates. Speaker 2: The excuse was that as head of the party, Irish state, he's not there to sign in the papers to say that the party is registered for the election. Speaker 5: Michel Martley, a fading pop singer, ran for president. He was bankrolled by several wealthy families. Martley posed as a political outsider, though he had strong ties to the old dictatorships. Those Speaker 8: guys who was willing to bring us back, those things we rejected already. Speaker 0: Martell is saying they will reconstitute the army is totally in accordance with their vision to keep these poor people who form about 90% and more of the population at bay, keep them under control and out of making political decisions. Speaker 5: During the election, Praval invited Aristide back from seven years in exile in South Africa over the objection of The US and Canada. Speaker 0: Aristide is a threat not because of his personality, even his ideology. He's a threat because he symbolizes the type of democracy that Haitian people want where they have their say. And I'm not going to say here that president Aristide was the best leader we could have had, but that's it. Democracy is that you evaluate your leadership and you change it through the ballot. What happened was that this leadership was changed by a powerful minority within the country allied to neo colonial countries. That's what happened. And we haven't been better off since as is so self evident. Speaker 5: Since returning to Haiti, Aristide's freedom of movement has been severely curtailed because of threats to his life. Baby doc Duvalier also returned to Haiti during the election. The US and Canada did not object to his return. In the first election round, Martley lacked the votes to advance him to the two candidate runoff. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flew to Haiti, overrode the Haitian Electoral College, and forced Martley onto the final ballot. Speaker 2: You had Hillary Clinton say it's Michelle Martley who has to go to the second round, And lo and behold, Michele Martelly becomes president of Haiti. Speaker 25: It is a great pleasure and an honor for me to welcome the president-elect to the state department on behalf of the United States government and to formally congratulate president-elect Martelli on his victory in the election. Speaker 13: The international community again was involved not just paying for the election, but also involved in proclaiming Martellus the elected president of Haiti. Speaker 2: That's total lack of respect. By doing this, we are back into a colonial era where foreigners are choosing who runs the colony on their behalf. Speaker 5: Marshley began to revive the army that Aristide had disbanded. And he welcomed Jean Claude de Valier to state functions. Speaker 0: The Martellus administration very clearly wants to turn back the clock, go back to the good old time, you know, when the repression kept everybody in check. His hero is Francois Duvalier. Speaker 6: People have been so disillusioned. We've seen slowly and surely the return back of the arbitrary life and arbitrary leadership that has been just bringing down the country completely down to hell. There's a lot of corruption and very little socioeconomic development. Speaker 13: Another issue of concern is the human rights defenders in Haiti that are being harassed, threatened, detained. Journalists are being attacked for criticizing the government, and this is a government that is backed by the international community. Speaker 5: Martley, as head of the bald headed party, anointed Jovenal Moyes as his successor. Speaker 14: Are going back to this kind of undemocratic period where, the elections don't reflect the will of the people and where the government increasingly rules by force. Speaker 0: By instilling this sense of powerlessness and despair. We are in a situation today that in my years of political activism, I've never seen a moment so scary. The popular movement has taken some serious hits, and now it is almost unable to form a real common front. Speaker 6: It's just like history revisited where we have more or less of a situation where they're forcing down our throat a candidate, Jovenel Moiz, who has become in the popular imagination the banana man because he's producing bananas. Speaker 10: And Speaker 6: now the Haitian people very spontaneously, man, they are really intent on pushing that down our throat, that banana. Speaker 5: Moiz won the corruption plague twenty fifteen election and the election rerun-in 2016. Only 20% of the Haitian electorate voted. Speaker 2: All these sham elections that have taken place in recent years, Haitians are well aware that they are not our candidates. And so it seems like there is a struggle that never stops in Haiti. The fundamental thing that you observe when you go to Haiti is that there is social injustice at a level that is simply unacceptable, and that injustice is precisely what the nation was created to fight. Racial slavery is about a small group of people controlling all the resources. So now, two hundred years after the end of that system, you end up with a small group controlling all the resources of the island. Speaker 9: This story is so important for Canadians to come to terms with because I think we'd like to think that our government, our institutions are actually playing an empowering and a supportive role for the establishment of a more meaningful democracy. Fighting poverty, building social programs for people. But unfortunately, if you look carefully at the record, I think that's exactly what's not happening. Speaker 0: The Canadian people are kept deliberately ignorant of the Haitian reality. They see the misery and they respond to the suffering, but they do not address the role of their own government in this suffering. Speaker 14: Today, Denis Coder still refers to himself as a friend of Haiti, and he really hasn't paid any price for his involvement in the coup d'etat. Do you feel you owe Haiti an apology for your role in Canada's policy in Haiti? Speaker 6: No. Canada was there to to Speaker 8: Haiti is Haitian. It's a country. It's an independent place. Yes. We are poor. We don't have enough, but we never had a chance to express our richness. Speaker 2: The same democracy that people enjoy in North America, that's what Haitians trying to have as their own. Speaker 10: The Speaker 17: solution is actually very simple, you know, to allow them to have the leadership that they want and to direct their own lives, but I don't think I'll ever understand why our government and the American government won't let that happen. Speaker 2: It's not like every Haitian want to become millionaire tomorrow. They just want tomorrow to have access to hot meal in day. They want tomorrow to have access to pure water and basic education for the children. This, you cannot wash it from the mind. Speaker 0: It's the ancient dream that is reappearing in another form because the slaves, they were fighting not only for the end of slavery, but they were fighting for freedom, equality, and brotherhood. We got the the the freedom from slavery, but the rest we didn't get. And the cry for democracy now is the new definition of the old Haitian dream.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Haiti's history reveals a pattern of external interference hindering its progress. As the first black republic formed by rebelling slaves in 1804, Haiti posed a threat to colonial powers. France demanded reparations for lost property, plunging Haiti into long-term debt. The US invaded and occupied Haiti for 20 years starting in 1915, seizing gold reserves and imposing forced labor, leading to decades of dictatorship. During the Baby Doc era, neoliberal policies harmed Haitian farmers, creating slums and low-wage factories. The Lavalas movement emerged, seeking a new Haiti. Jean-Bertrand Aristide's election in 1990 offered hope, but a coup ousted him months later. After a period of military rule, Aristide returned but faced constraints. Despite reforms under Aristide and Preval, external pressures persisted. In 2004, a US-backed coup removed Aristide again. UN forces occupied Haiti, and paramilitary groups terrorized the population. Elections were held, but Lavalas was excluded. The 2010 earthquake and subsequent cholera outbreak exacerbated the situation. Michel Martelly's election followed intervention by Hillary Clinton. The cycle of external interference continues to impede Haiti's progress towards democracy and economic stability.

Speaker 0: Anybody who has come to Haiti has experienced it, the Haitian people. They are very welcoming toward foreigners. Anywhere you go, they will offer you whatever little they have. Haitian are proud, or they used to be. Speaker 1: Haiti has always been a bad example that needed to be stopped because if a country run by former slaves was allowed to succeed, it would undermine the foundations of slavery. So you could not let Haiti function. Speaker 2: It was really tragic for us when we started to understand that the Canadian government was actively undermining the Haitian government. Speaker 0: The Canadian people are kept deliberately ignorant of the Haitian reality. Speaker 3: On the island of Hispaniola, which it shares with the Dominican Republic, Haiti becomes another Caribbean scene of crisis. Haitians are a carefree, happy people who meet adversity with humor and the dance, but they are capable of being very explosive. Speaker 4: Haiti was the most profitable, the most lucrative, the most intensely worked part of the slavery system. It was the place where a lot of power and wealth was concentrated in in a particularly brutal form, a very highly exploitative form, where slaves were worked to death so fast that they could hardly reproduce in Haiti. They had to be constantly replenished from Africa. It was spectacularly successful. It it made the French vast amounts of money in the eighteenth century in particular. Speaker 5: In 1791, the Haitian slaves rebelled. By eighteen o four, they had defeated Napoleon's vast army and created the world's first black republic. Speaker 4: It was a profoundly threatening thing and it challenged France, it challenged Britain, it challenged Spain, they all tried to stifle it and squash it. Speaker 0: Haiti is probably the worst nightmare in history of the powerful people and the powerful country. Speaker 5: When France lost Haiti, its most lucrative colony, it lost one third of its entire economy. Speaker 0: When slaves, cattle, liberate themselves, you cannot have a worst nightmare for the powerful countries. Haiti must be made to fail and to simmer in misery. The French lost the war, but Speaker 4: they must make sure that the example doesn't spread. So they stifle it. They basically put a blockade on Haiti, and they try and freeze it into a permanent poverty. Speaker 2: France had gone into the waters of Haiti with 15 warships in 1825. Friends demanded that Haiti pays them reparations for having lost their property. And so they demanded a CHF150,000,000. Speaker 5: No other country has been forced to pay their former colonizer for the loss of slaves and territory. Speaker 4: They basically put Haiti into debt on a permanent basis all through the nineteenth century, and they only finished paying it off after World War two. Speaker 1: Haiti has always been an example of something, a bad example that needed to be stopped. When Haiti became independent thirty years after The US declaration of independence, it posed a great challenge to the limitations of US democracy. Speaker 5: In 1915, US marines invaded and occupied Haiti for twenty years. They seized Haiti's gold reserves, imposed a new constitution and pressed Haitians into forced labor. Haitians rebelled, thousands died. The rebel leader, Charlemagne Prout was executed and his body put on display. The marines trained an army that supported decades of dictatorship and terror culminating in the dynasty of Papa Doc Duvalier. And his son, Baby Doc. The Duvaliers ruled for thirty years, terrorizing the population and killing 50,000 Haitians. Speaker 6: I got arrested. I got picked up by the political police back then, the SD, the service, the security. It accused me of trying to overthrow the government. It was, at the time, not a very good thing to do to question politics or question how come we have a dictator, how come the people are so poor. Speaker 5: Bobby Duval was jailed without a trial at the notorious Fort Dimanche Prison in Port Au Prince. Speaker 6: We counted. A 180 people died right in front of me and myself. I was down to ninety pounds. I had tuberculosis. I was spilling blood. You know, I was in the brink of death. Had I been one more week in that cell, I would have died. Speaker 5: During the baby doc era, The US pushed for neoliberal free market policies in Haiti. Speaker 4: The tariffs that protected Haitian agriculture are slowly being knocked away. Small farmers have a harder and harder time surviving, and so they have to go into the cities. And they're driven there by destitution, and they arrive with nothing. They're concentrated into slums, and they're obliged then to work in the new factories that develop at the same time as part of the same policy. Speaker 5: With extremely low wages and almost no taxes on business, Port Au Prince became an assembly plant destination. Speaker 4: So these are factories that are set up largely by multinationals or people contracting through multinationals to make jeans and t shirts and baseballs and things like this, and to exploit this new labor where people are forced to work literally for pennies an hour. Speaker 5: In the nineteen eighties, resistance to the Duvalier dictatorship grew. The movement became known as Lavalas, the flood. Speaker 0: People joined into this great cry for a new Haiti, a new state, a new society. The La Valas was not so much a movement to gain political power as one to be pushing forward what the people of Haiti truly wanted. Speaker 5: Facing mass protests, Baby Doc fled to his villa in France. He left the country bankrupt. After four more years of military rule, public pressure forced Haiti's first ever free elections. Speaker 1: The nineteen ninety elections were were one of the most important steps in Haiti's history because it was the first time that the majority of the population was given the right to to choose their elected leadership. Speaker 5: Jean Bertrand Aristide ran for president. He was a charismatic priest who had survived four assassination attempts. His candidacy galvanized the impoverished majority. Aristide was part of the Catholic liberation theology movement, advocating justice for the poor. Speaker 2: You have a small group of families, 15 or 20 families, who basically control the island for their own benefit, but also for the benefit of the multinational corporations. Speaker 5: The wealthy families and the US government lavishly funded Aristide's opponent, a former World Bank official. The poor turned out en masse to elect Aristide with 67% of the vote. The US backed candidate received 14%. Speaker 7: That was so great because that was for me the first time in my life experience that I could see all people from Haiti committed, like, to one thing, which is for our seed to have his chance to run the country as someone who really represented, like, the hope of this nation. It Speaker 8: was a moment of defiance because before, you never had somebody like Aristide daring to be a candidate and becoming a president. We had great hope. Speaker 4: They had a moderate plan for shifting the orientation of the economy from the rich to the poor, moderate land reform, taxations. So they began to enforce tax collection, for example. That was very unpopular with the rich, but it was popular, for example, with the IMF who gave this government quite a good write up in the 1991. Speaker 5: The government immediately came under siege by the wealthy families and the army. Speaker 2: Aristide represented a threat precisely where the economic elite cared. Speaker 4: By September, they're ready to launch a coup, which is undertaken by the army with the support of the big business families. The very first night, hundreds of people are killed, and they launch Reign of Terror that is designed to break the back of this popular movement. Speaker 5: The army seizes power seven months after Haiti's first democratic election. Aristide narrowly escapes assassination and is forced into exile. Speaker 4: The army then takes over, and for three years, for three full years, they control the country and they reorient the economy back in the old ways. Speaker 8: We never had a chance. Yes. We had an election. Yes. We voted somebody. But it's like putting a seat on the ground, you never been able to see it go because it's somebody keep coming in and stabbing it. Speaker 5: Military death squads kill 4,000 Lavalas supporters. 60,000 people flee the terror. Most are detained by the US Coast Guard at Guantanamo Bay. After three years, President Clinton negotiated Arastid's return to Haiti to halt the flood of boat people. Speaker 0: President Arastid had to accept compromises with the international community in order to stop the massacre of La Valas people. Speaker 5: Clinton forced Aristide to continue to allow The US to dump surplus rice in Haiti. This disastrously undercut Haitian farmers. Speaker 4: He comes back with his hands quite severely tied. He's forced to make some quite unpopular decisions, he is at least able to get rid of the army. Speaker 1: The biggest impact was that you removed a repressive force that was not only killing and imprisoning people that it didn't like, but was completely distorting all of Haiti's policy, including its basic electoral policy because you could not have fair elections while there was the army in place. Speaker 5: Aristide enlisted the support of the Canadian government to help train Haiti's first ever national police force. Gary Auguste was one of a 100 recruits trained by the Royal Canadian Mounted Police in Haiti. Speaker 8: We were asked to come to serve our country. And after our training, we were told that we're gonna change the way people see the police, Asians, to serve Haiti, serve and protect the people. Speaker 5: But The US pushed notorious ex army officers into key positions in the force. Speaker 8: You arrest someone because they committed a crime, they were supposed to be in jail until the judge make a decision. Wow. The next morning, they're out. Speaker 5: Aristide's government made some crucial reforms in spite of stiff resistance by the wealthy elite. Speaker 9: It's important to see that, in fact, their record in government was filled with very significant and remarkable accomplishments. Their agenda around issues such as education and health care, HIV AIDS, attempting to use what modest resources they had access to to deliver real programs and support for the population is very, very important. Speaker 5: The Haitian constitution bans consecutive presidential terms. Renny Praval, also part of the Lavalas movement, ran for president. Speaker 4: He was an agronomist, and he wasn't a politician, but he was somebody who was a good administrator, a man of integrity, and who had a rapport with the people. Speaker 5: Preval was elected by a wide margin. It was Haiti's first peaceful and democratic transition of power. The election of Winnie Preval put us in a Speaker 2: path that made everyone believe that we were done with this idea of coup d'etat, and that now we can focus on building the infrastructure of the country. Speaker 5: Preval increased government services in rural areas where the majority of Haitians live. The literacy rate increased by 20%, and the malnutrition rate dropped by twelve percent. Speaker 10: In eighteen o four to 1919, the state bill only 33 secondary score. During the period of Lavalas in 1990, in 02/2004, they bill one hundred and thirty eighth secondary school. This improved their right of education. Speaker 5: Tens of thousands of Haitians, many of them women, participated in a nationwide literacy program. The Clinton administration pressured Preval to privatize the remaining state owned industries and remove tariffs on US exports to Haiti. Speaker 2: What Preval did is that he dragged his feet in terms of privatization. Speaker 1: Under president Preval's first term, he did privatize a couple state owned entities, the flour mill and the cement mill. Speaker 5: Prime minister Jean Cretien began to align Canada's policy in Haiti with Clinton's neoliberal agenda. Speaker 2: After the election of Cuival, we had the constant positioning of Canada to do whatever The United States is doing in Haiti. Speaker 1: Canada withheld support to the justice system, not because the justice system wasn't improving, in fact, it was, but because they didn't like some of the economic policies of the of the Haitian government. Speaker 6: I think that the establishment of The United States has a kind of an accord with the establishment of Canada where Canada is gonna play more of a front role of trying to, I hate to say it, but dominate this country, put it bring it in line or something. Speaker 5: Aristide and the Lavalas party won a landslide majority in the two thousand elections. Speaker 1: Once it became clear to The United States and to the political elites in Haiti that the grassroots would not back down, then they felt they needed to react, that they could no longer attempt to manipulate elections, that they had to actually throw out the results of those elections. The United States government knew very well that the elections were in fact basically fair elections, but that really didn't matter because they didn't care about elections. They cared about making sure that their friends were in power. Speaker 5: Aristide was reelected as George w Bush took office. Speaker 11: What did the Bush administration do from the first day? It froze every penny of international aid. While giving it to dictatorships all over the world, It squeezed Haiti. For what purpose? To bring this guy down. For what purpose? Okay. What happens? You go into a balance of payments crisis, which they did. Right. The currency collapses, inflation soars, living standards fall, and then they say he didn't serve his people. Speaker 4: We're talking about a national budget that is somewhere in the region of 350 to $400,000,000. It's about a third of the budget for a single big hospital in a city like Boston. It's a pathetically small amount of money in a very poor country where you're trying to, you know, build up basic infrastructure and health education and the rest of it. Speaker 5: Canada also withdrew financial aid to pressure the Haitian government. In desperation, Aristide turned to the French government to redress payments France have extorted for the loss of slaves and territory. Speaker 2: Aristide went out there on a full campaign to remind the French that there is a historical debt. Aristide told friends, let's start addressing this issue of restitution to see how you can gradually return some of the funds to Haiti. Speaker 4: So it's a priority for France that this claim be discredited and that the government that's pushing it be got rid of, basically. And they become very keen on this. Speaker 5: In early two thousand and three, Canada hosted a meeting to discuss regime change in Haiti. The meeting was held at Meech Lake in Quebec. Speaker 2: High level diplomats from France, The United States, and other places. No Haitians as far as we know. And the outcome of the meeting is that Haiti must be put under UN tutelage. Irish steed must go, and Haiti must be given a new military and a new police force. Speaker 5: Transcripts of the meeting were heavily redacted. Speaker 1: The reason that it was an Ottawa initiative rather than a Washington initiative was that having it organized and backed by Canada allowed a very undemocratic initiative to coast on Canada's reputation of being more respectful of democracy. Speaker 2: We realized that there's a lot that we didn't understand yet about how Canada uses this image of good cop. Like, we're not the Americans. Therefore, we can go and do the job and not get noticed. Speaker 0: Canada was always held by Haitians to be a benign partner. And Canada had shown over the years a modicum of autonomy related to The US. But I'd say that in the last ten, twenty years, this has changed. Speaker 5: The US pressured Canada to join the coalition invading Iraq. Prime minister Jean Cretien refused. Canada ramped up funding to aid organizations willing to oppose the Haitian government. Speaker 9: The Canadian government and a number of other Canadian institutions, nongovernment groups, played a very direct and central role in this process. There was a disinformation campaign that these forces were involved in. Speaker 1: Because you had Canadian organizations that had a good reputation, that silenced a lot of the critics, within the human rights movement, within the pro democracy movement, and, progressive organizations around the world. Speaker 5: Haitian business elites stepped up their disinformation campaign. Speaker 12: But what I'm saying that I still have still has been, for me, the biggest imposter that the East the world history has ever known. Speaker 5: Reginald Bulos and Andy Apaid are prominent Haitian business leaders with many ties to The US and the old dictatorships. Speaker 7: Aristide built an occult criminal machine, which is managed straight from the palace in the Ministry of Interior. Speaker 12: Presenting himself as a savior of aid, as a priest who wanted change, and basically having institutionalized structure, drug dealing, corruption, killing, and kidnap. Speaker 7: I know he's a very determined man. Harris Aristee still won't go away until he's on his knees. Speaker 1: The traditional way of getting rid of a Haitian leader who didn't follow instructions by by Haitian elites or or the international community was an army coup d'etat. And because president Darafried had demobilized the army, that was no longer possible. Speaker 5: Instead, paramilitary death squads based in the Dominican Republic began staging raids across the border with covert backing from The United States. Speaker 13: They didn't have support of the population or far from it. It was the manipulation of the international community that actually gave them the the possibility to move around the country, to get access to arms, be trained in the Dominican Republic, and then go into Haiti and start sacking the police stations and courts and killing people with indiscriminately and in total impunity. Speaker 4: You have these guys who are put into action pretty much on the contra model, attacking police stations, terrorized population, particularly in the center of the country where it's pretty remote and people are pretty defenseless. Speaker 5: The paramilitaries were led by Guy Philippe, a former officer in the Haitian army. Speaker 14: At the time, people like Andy Payne claimed that they had no links with the paramilitary forces coming from the Dominican Republic. They claimed that they were a purely nonviolent opposition. In reality, they were maintaining the links that they had always maintained with members of the death squads that had terrorized Haiti in the past and financing Guy Fili's our militaries. Speaker 5: In early two thousand and four, the paramilitary forces invaded many towns in Northern Haiti, overpowering the Haitian national police. Speaker 8: The police wasn't equipped to fight another army. They were moving toward one target to eliminate the leadership in Port Au Prince so they can take over and continue what they left off after the first coup in 1991. Speaker 0: We will not be discouraged as the first black independent country in the world. We will continue to fight in a legal way all those willing to destroy our democratic process. Speaker 6: They invented, you know, this concept of intervention, humanitarian intervention because, first of all, they demonize you. They you're a second class citizen. You cannot guide yourself. You cannot rule yourself. You're unruly, and therefore, they need to intervene for you to bring you up to the level of how to live as a human being. To me, it's a it's a it's a same old recipe, but under new ingredients, basically. That's what it is. Speaker 0: That crowd was humongous. Nobody in the press talked about it. But also that crowd, even though president Aristide was under siege, that crowd was absolutely not aggressive. People were simply saying five years. Speaker 10: But we have only one thing. Okay. We spent five five here to Palestine. After that, they can take the government by election. Speaker 5: CARICOM, a group of 14 Caribbean countries appealed to the United Nations to support Haiti. Speaker 1: They requested that the UN Security Council send an armed force to try to defend Haiti's democracy. The Security Council never responded. Speaker 5: The US and France quashed the CARICOM motion. In late February two thousand and four, The US, Canada, and France sent troops to Haiti without UN authorization. Speaker 1: They initially said that that deployment was there to protect national interests, but that was clearly not what they were doing. And the Canadian troops, for example, were securing the perimeter of the airport. The United States troops were occupying strategic points all over Haiti that had nothing to do with protecting, US citizens. Speaker 0: Violence is not the way to solve our problems. Dialogue, compromise, tolerance, elections, this is what we need. My goal is to be flexible, to work with rich and poor, to work with the opposition and level us such a way to invest in health care, to invest in education, to invest in infrastructure, and have Haiti in a better situation. Speaker 15: One final very quick question. How soon does the situation need to be resolved in your mind before it becomes critical, seriously critical? Days, weeks? Speaker 0: Days. Could even say hours. Speaker 7: Thank you very much. Thanks to you. Speaker 14: Alright. Let's go. Speaker 5: Before dawn, while Canadian forces lock down the airport, US special forces enter Aristide's home. Speaker 16: Saturday night, there were all kinds of rumors flying that Aristide was going to be taken out, or he was fleeing the country. Sunday morning, journalists started heading for the airport and got there just as he was being loaded into the American plane and and taken away. And then there was all confusion about that, like, what just happened? Speaker 13: Everyone wakes up and the president is in a flight to Central African Republic and no one really knows why. The US saying that Aristide actually resigned from power, which was not the case. I mean, he was removed from from office, from his country, from his home by The US and and Canada because they didn't agree with his political agenda. Speaker 5: Aristide was removed two months after the bicentennial of Haitian independence. There Speaker 2: is a racial dimension to this coup that is rarely spoken about. Haitians created their nation as a result of Africans rising up against the Europeans who have instituted a system of racial slavery. Now that's what they were celebrating in 02/2004, the end of slavery. And the international community doesn't see any problem with having white soldiers enter the residence of the black president in Haiti on that year of the bicentennial and just go with him and dump him in Africa. Speaker 1: One of the saddest aspects of the kidnapping was that everybody saw it coming. First of all, for years, had a weakening of the Haitian government, and then you had troops coming over from the Dominican Republic. But then you had troops from Canada, France, and The US just openly disembarking on a plane at Haiti's airport. And in the end, you had US troops physically kidnapping a president, and there was nothing that the Haitian government could do about it. Speaker 5: Hours after Arastid was removed, the United Nations authorized a military occupation of Haiti. Speaker 1: In a matter of a few minutes on a Sunday morning, the UN, which was not able to lift a finger to support an imperiled democracy, was able to plan a military intervention in Haiti. Speaker 5: Paramilitary forces entered Port Au Prince the day after the coup. Speaker 16: Once the rebels arrived in Port Au Prince, my fixer arranged an interview for me with Paul Arcelain. Speaker 6: See, I helped to organize this front, and I'm happy to see the result, the downfall of a dictatorship. Speaker 16: What I discovered was that they had been in cahoots with the Canadian politicians to plan this entire thing. He told me, oh yeah, he had recently been in Ottawa and met with Pierre Pettigrew, who was the minister of intergovernmental affairs. And he pulled out Pierre Pettigrew's business card and showed it to me and said, when we were at his office, he gave me his card. What I had been fed all along by the Canadian government was in fact not true. This coup was basically backed by Ottawa. Speaker 15: Certain voices speak of the circumstances of mister Arajeet's departure as constituting a form of coup d'etat. Mister speaker, this was not a coup d'etat. This was the Security Council of the United Nations acting with the highest authority of the charter to restore order. Speaker 17: Are we going to say we have a right to determine what elected officials should be removed and which ones should be allowed to stay? I don't support that. Speaker 18: The fact of the matter is that president Aristide was elected as president with the support of well over 80% of the people of Haiti. Speaker 19: When do we move into another country? When in fact are we party to regime change, which we have been now? Speaker 18: When did The United States, when did France, indeed, did Canada take under itself the power to decide which democratically elected leader should be overthrown? Speaker 2: It's not just Irish dean who was overthrown. It's the whole of government, including the legislative branch. Speaker 16: We do a very good job of selling ourselves as defenders of human rights and democracy, and so it's very hard for Canadians to believe that Canada would be involved in such an underhanded, sly operation as this. It Speaker 8: was too obvious that the same guys who were killing after the first coup is back again killing after the second coup. It's a repetition. Speaker 1: There was significant bloodshed in Haiti. The city morgue had 1,000 unclaimed bodies in the month of March, and they said most of those were victims of violence. And that was only victims of violence in Port Au Prince whose bodies were not recovered by friends or families. Speaker 9: That violence and repression did not get reported, including by the same nongovernment organizations that were really screaming bloody murder about the supposed human rights record of the Aristide government, they suddenly went silent. Speaker 13: At the time, there was like a veil of secrecy on what was going in Haiti, and very few actors actually were trying to break that veil and raise their voices. Speaker 5: Days after the coup, Gerard La Tortue, a former World Bank official, was installed as prime minister. His regime was immediately recognized by The US, Canada, and France, but not by the CARICOM countries, the African Union, or the US Congressional Black Caucus. Speaker 2: As soon as the coup took place, La Tourchette came and declared that the French don't need to worry about restitution, and they don't owe any anything to the Haitians anymore. Speaker 5: La Tortue ridiculed the reparations claim and declared a three year tax holiday for business. He quickly canceled scores of Lavalas programs, including school meals, the literacy campaign, and even the distribution of iodized salt. Speaker 14: The whole Canadian government was engaged in a massive public relations campaign in support of Gerard L'Etortue's government, and this at a time when it was committing atrocious human rights abuses. Speaker 20: Prime Minister L'Etortue was extremely pleased with the support Canada has already given. He started the meeting by expressing his immense gratitude to the people of Canada and to the government of Canada, and he knows that we will continue to respond to the needs of the population here. Speaker 14: So whereas the democratically elected government of Lavalas had its funding reduced to almost nothing, when LACART two comes to power, the aid tap is turned on. Speaker 2: What we find ironic is that, this display of generosity happens so visibly after a coup. Whereas every time Haiti has a legitimate government, we don't see that kind of display of solidarity. Speaker 5: Three months later, troops from Canada, The US and France were replaced by a United Nations military and police force called Manusta. Speaker 16: This is the first time we've seen the UN move into a country where there's been a coup staged by other countries, and then the UN goes in to maintain calm afterwards because the people are furious that their democratically elected leader has been taken out of the country by force by other countries. Like, it's just I don't think I can't think of any other place where that has ever happened. And it's shocking that it it's not questioned. Speaker 5: Minusta imposed armed control of neighborhoods that had supported the Lavalas government. Speaker 1: What the multinational force was doing, they would secure a perimeter which would then allow the Haitian police or gang to go in and do the killing. The presence of the multinational troops would prevent any help from coming in to the Lavalas supporters who were being massacred. Speaker 8: They were dead squad. They will just come and take you and then you're dead. You disappeared. So you don't protest, so you don't speak up. Speaker 5: Canadian police trainers were back in Haiti, training police officers for a force that routinely hunted down Lavalas supporters. Speaker 1: The RCMP would try to take some distance by saying, oh, we're just doing training, we're not doing operations. But at some point, if you are training groups that are systematically killing, you need to take some responsibility. Speaker 14: The Haitian National Police have freedom of movement and and their own will to behave or not behave properly. Speaker 13: What's difficult to to grasp is that their personnel were assisting the Haitian National Police to do whatever they wanted in in those communities. Just Speaker 5: after a wave of police violence, Canadian prime minister Paul Martin visited Haiti in support of the La Tortue regime. Speaker 14: Martin made the astonishing declaration that there were no political prisoners in Haiti. At the time, Haiti's jail was absolutely packed with political prisoners. Speaker 5: The Justice and Peace Commission of the Catholic Church estimated there were 700 political prisoners in Haiti. Speaker 1: When prime minister Martin in the 2004 said that there were no political prisoners in Haiti, that undermined the the efforts by human rights advocates and pro democracy activists in Haiti and abroad to try to bring an end to the repression. Speaker 5: People in City Soleil, a stronghold of Lavalas support in Port Au Prince, tried to protect themselves. Speaker 0: The people organized themselves so not as to live another nightmare had they had during the first coup. Speaker 5: The Haitian elite framed all resistance to the police and minusta as the work of gangs. Speaker 12: 250,000 people are still living under the terror of gang leaders and gang institutions. It's an outrage that the minusta has taken so long to do anything about citizenship. Speaker 0: That resistance irritated the the the moneyed people, and they were pressuring minister military force to go and attack city Soleil with their full military might. Speaker 13: The killings, the rapes that were committed from 2004 to 02/2006, and no one has been brought to trial. There's a total impunity. Speaker 5: Quasi democratic elections were held in 2006 in a climate of fear and repression. They were financed by The US, Canada, and the European Union. Candidates from the Fanmi Lavalas Party were not allowed to run for office. Speaker 1: Excluding the Lavalas party is tantamount to, in Canada, excluding the Liberals from an election. But Speaker 5: paramilitary leader Guy Philippe was allowed to run for president, even though he had been responsible for multiple killings. Big business families also had their candidates. Speaker 9: Like I said, Haitians are very, very smart people. They know they wanna be like me. Speaker 0: Okay? Speaker 6: Mhmm. Yep. Speaker 9: I think that Speaker 15: democracy is is a flower that you have to retain all the time. Speaker 9: At the end of the day, we don't wanna live Speaker 15: with the nostalgia of the past. Speaker 14: Denis Croder participated in many different delegations to Haiti, which is in and of itself significant because it implies a diplomatic recognition of a regime that had been installed through an illegitimate process, an unconstitutional coup d'etat. On many occasions, he said explicitly when talking to the press, you know, this is in order to bolster the political legitimacy and to to signal Canada's recognition of this regime. Speaker 12: Mister Deniko there has come here 11 times. And every time they fought for, it's kind of that will kick back and say, we put some more money there. Speaker 5: There were 35 presidential candidates in 02/2006, but little interest in the election until former president Rene Preval entered the race. Preval ran with a new party circumventing the exclusion of Lavalas. There was a large voter turnout, but Preval polled just short of the 50% needed for an outright win. Days after the election, thousands of ballots marked for Preval were found in the Port Au Prince dump. Mass demonstrations broke out. UN officials were forced to reexamine the vote. Rene Preval was declared president for a second term. Praval's room to govern, like Aristides, was severely limited by The United States. Speaker 2: Pravel kind of played this dance with the Americans and the Europeans. You know, thanks to WikiLeaks, we now can read some of what was happening behind the scenes in a way that they never actually trusted him. Multinational corporations operating in Haiti basically control the island to maintain what they call Haiti's comparative advantage. That is cheap labor. So if there's demonstration in Mexico, then we can always tell them, well, you know, we might just pack up and go to Haiti. Speaker 5: Preval sought Canadian assistance to develop basic services and governance skills. But most Canadian aid bypassed the Haitian government and went instead to nongovernment agencies and corporations. Speaker 21: This morning, I saw firsthand the progress achieved on the security front during a visit to Cite Soleil. It's gratifying to see Canadian aid achieving real results for the long suffering people of that community. Speaker 5: Canada made it a priority to build police garrisons and prisons, even though 70% of Haitian prisoners have never had a trial. Speaker 10: We don't need prison in Haiti, but we need more a system who respect the rule of law. How the Carnegie people can help us to do that. That's why we're looking for, not for prisons. Speaker 19: When the earthquake hit, I was in the basement of a little office building, and the building began to crack apart. The noise is horrendous. We got out onto the street afterwards. The streets were blocked by rubble, collapsed walls, collapsed buildings. People immediately began digging the survivors out of the rubble, and they laid them in the street because there was nowhere else to put them. Because the hospitals, so many had collapsed, people began to call together little bits of first aid bandages, antiseptic, and set up clinics all over the city. '26 of the 30 main government ministry buildings collapsed. One in four civil servants died. And the already weak government was totally incapacitated. I wondered if my friends were alive. And you're stepping over bodies, trying not to step on the bodies in the darkness. You know, you're trying to see what's there. There's clouds of dust in the street. People are screaming. People are some people are singing to try and get through it. It was eerie. It was terrible. After the quake, The US stepped in to take control of the airport, but they gave a huge priority to setting up their own camp and making a virtual garrison. Almost no aid was coming out. On day five, we got word we could get the medical supplies for the airport. But when I got in, I couldn't get permission from the Canadian troops to take the antiseptics and antibiotics and bandages that all the clinics in the city had completely run out of at this point. I couldn't get permission to take it out. They told me to call Ottawa. Thousands of people across the city were dying for lack of what was piling up inside that compound, and we couldn't get it done. Speaker 22: Give us an idea of what what your day was like today. What are the kinds of things that you're doing down there to help the Haitians? Speaker 23: More and more what we're finding is people are running out of water altogether or using water of lower and lower quality. Speaker 22: And why is that, Dave? You think by now, ten days in, that, they'd start addressing some of those issues. What have the problems been that you've seen? Speaker 23: Well, there's just been no major aid on the ground. Speaker 22: UN officials keep saying it's gonna get out, but clearly it's not getting out fast enough. Speaker 23: This is day 10. This is day 10 since the earthquake. Speaker 5: Most poor areas of the city were off limits to major aid organizations because the US State Department had designated them as high risk zones. Speaker 19: What was the origin of these zones? Who decided that these people are too dangerous to be helped or so dangerous that even major aid organizations have to stay away? Who got aid? Who lived and who died after the quake? Because when that aid didn't get to the injured people especially, they'd die by the hundreds, by the thousands. Speaker 24: There was such an expectation that the country was going to erupt in in violence. Speaker 5: Jonathan Montpetit bunked in with Canadian troops at the Port Au Prince Airport. Speaker 24: Canadian government officials were anxious about the possibility that Aristide would return from exile and foment an uprising in the midst of the chaos following following the earthquake. This fear that Irish deed was gonna return and create a revolution in the wake of the earthquake is so far from reality, so far from the minds of Haitians who were simply trying to survive, simply trying to make it from one day to the next. The fear of instability after the earthquake made it so that thousands of people died needlessly. Speaker 5: The earthquake killed more than 200,000 people. Ten months after the earthquake, UN troops dumped their sewage into Haiti's main river system, introducing cholera. Speaker 19: The cholera was a terrible blow coming so soon after the earthquake. And it hit the poor the hardest. They didn't have clean water, poor sanitation. One day, you'd be working with somebody, and the next day, they were dead. It was terrifying. And then on top of that, the UN didn't acknowledge responsibility for the cholera, and people were angry about it. Speaker 5: The international community insisted that elections go ahead in late twenty ten. Speaker 19: People were dying every day from the cholera. Some days, hundreds of people and all over the country. And in the middle of this, the priority is elections. They couldn't postpone the elections. It just made no sense. Speaker 5: The US and Canada again financed the elections. Lavalas was again blocked from running candidates. Speaker 2: The excuse was that as head of the party, Irish state, he's not there to sign in the papers to say that the party is registered for the election. Speaker 5: Michel Martley, a fading pop singer, ran for president. He was bankrolled by several wealthy families. Martley posed as a political outsider, though he had strong ties to the old dictatorships. Those Speaker 8: guys who was willing to bring us back, those things we rejected already. Speaker 0: Martell is saying they will reconstitute the army is totally in accordance with their vision to keep these poor people who form about 90% and more of the population at bay, keep them under control and out of making political decisions. Speaker 5: During the election, Praval invited Aristide back from seven years in exile in South Africa over the objection of The US and Canada. Speaker 0: Aristide is a threat not because of his personality, even his ideology. He's a threat because he symbolizes the type of democracy that Haitian people want where they have their say. And I'm not going to say here that president Aristide was the best leader we could have had, but that's it. Democracy is that you evaluate your leadership and you change it through the ballot. What happened was that this leadership was changed by a powerful minority within the country allied to neo colonial countries. That's what happened. And we haven't been better off since as is so self evident. Speaker 5: Since returning to Haiti, Aristide's freedom of movement has been severely curtailed because of threats to his life. Baby doc Duvalier also returned to Haiti during the election. The US and Canada did not object to his return. In the first election round, Martley lacked the votes to advance him to the two candidate runoff. US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton flew to Haiti, overrode the Haitian Electoral College, and forced Martley onto the final ballot. Speaker 2: You had Hillary Clinton say it's Michelle Martley who has to go to the second round, And lo and behold, Michele Martelly becomes president of Haiti. Speaker 25: It is a great pleasure and an honor for me to welcome the president-elect to the state department on behalf of the United States government and to formally congratulate president-elect Martelli on his victory in the election. Speaker 13: The international community again was involved not just paying for the election, but also involved in proclaiming Martellus the elected president of Haiti. Speaker 2: That's total lack of respect. By doing this, we are back into a colonial era where foreigners are choosing who runs the colony on their behalf. Speaker 5: Marshley began to revive the army that Aristide had disbanded. And he welcomed Jean Claude de Valier to state functions. Speaker 0: The Martellus administration very clearly wants to turn back the clock, go back to the good old time, you know, when the repression kept everybody in check. His hero is Francois Duvalier. Speaker 6: People have been so disillusioned. We've seen slowly and surely the return back of the arbitrary life and arbitrary leadership that has been just bringing down the country completely down to hell. There's a lot of corruption and very little socioeconomic development. Speaker 13: Another issue of concern is the human rights defenders in Haiti that are being harassed, threatened, detained. Journalists are being attacked for criticizing the government, and this is a government that is backed by the international community. Speaker 5: Martley, as head of the bald headed party, anointed Jovenal Moyes as his successor. Speaker 14: Are going back to this kind of undemocratic period where, the elections don't reflect the will of the people and where the government increasingly rules by force. Speaker 0: By instilling this sense of powerlessness and despair. We are in a situation today that in my years of political activism, I've never seen a moment so scary. The popular movement has taken some serious hits, and now it is almost unable to form a real common front. Speaker 6: It's just like history revisited where we have more or less of a situation where they're forcing down our throat a candidate, Jovenel Moiz, who has become in the popular imagination the banana man because he's producing bananas. Speaker 10: And Speaker 6: now the Haitian people very spontaneously, man, they are really intent on pushing that down our throat, that banana. Speaker 5: Moiz won the corruption plague twenty fifteen election and the election rerun-in 2016. Only 20% of the Haitian electorate voted. Speaker 2: All these sham elections that have taken place in recent years, Haitians are well aware that they are not our candidates. And so it seems like there is a struggle that never stops in Haiti. The fundamental thing that you observe when you go to Haiti is that there is social injustice at a level that is simply unacceptable, and that injustice is precisely what the nation was created to fight. Racial slavery is about a small group of people controlling all the resources. So now, two hundred years after the end of that system, you end up with a small group controlling all the resources of the island. Speaker 9: This story is so important for Canadians to come to terms with because I think we'd like to think that our government, our institutions are actually playing an empowering and a supportive role for the establishment of a more meaningful democracy. Fighting poverty, building social programs for people. But unfortunately, if you look carefully at the record, I think that's exactly what's not happening. Speaker 0: The Canadian people are kept deliberately ignorant of the Haitian reality. They see the misery and they respond to the suffering, but they do not address the role of their own government in this suffering. Speaker 14: Today, Denis Coder still refers to himself as a friend of Haiti, and he really hasn't paid any price for his involvement in the coup d'etat. Do you feel you owe Haiti an apology for your role in Canada's policy in Haiti? Speaker 6: No. Canada was there to to Speaker 8: Haiti is Haitian. It's a country. It's an independent place. Yes. We are poor. We don't have enough, but we never had a chance to express our richness. Speaker 2: The same democracy that people enjoy in North America, that's what Haitians trying to have as their own. Speaker 10: The Speaker 16: solution is actually very simple, you know, to allow them to have the leadership that they want and to direct their own lives, but I don't think I'll ever understand why our government and the American government won't let that happen. Speaker 2: It's not like every Haitian want to become millionaire tomorrow. They just want tomorrow to have access to hot meal in day. They want tomorrow to have access to pure water and basic education for the children. This, you cannot wash it from the mind. Speaker 0: It's the ancient dream that is reappearing in another form because the slaves, they were fighting not only for the end of slavery, but they were fighting for freedom, equality, and brotherhood. We got the the the freedom from slavery, but the rest we didn't get. And the cry for democracy now is the new definition of the old Haitian dream.

I’ve uncovered serious allegations about BBC's coverage of Gaza, specifically pointing to Raffi Berg, the Middle East editor. Thirteen insiders have claimed that he has manipulated narratives to favor Israeli perspectives, often ignoring complaints from staff. Examples include biased headlines and a lack of context regarding Palestinian deaths. Despite management's claims of impartiality, many employees feel the coverage is not up to the BBC's own standards. We're working to raise awareness and challenge the mainstream media's narrative without corporate influence.

The Israel Gaza conflict is a challenging and polarizing subject to cover, but when asked to choose the one provider they would turn to for impartial reporting on this story, Three times as many pick the BBC as choose our closest competitor. The BBC remains the world's most trusted international news source. Well, you have to read the piece to see what the allegations are and why the BBC staff reject them.

Speaker alleges the decision not to broadcast the investigation was made by BBC management despite content being signed off under BBC guidelines, and that it "appears to be a political decision," showing the BBC is "crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government." They call the move "a scandal." They say the BBC "only broadcast one of the documentary which actually looked properly at the war crimes being committed against the Palestinian people in Gaza," then "pulled that documentary because the child narrator was the son of a deputy agricultural minister" whose words were scripted, claiming they capitulated to the pro-Israel lobby. They contrast with another documentary which passes all checks Channel 4 took on, while the BBC refused to show a program documenting "the objective systematic attacks on the health care system, the destruction of the health care system in Gaza."

Speaker 0: Now it goes on to note that the decision not to broadcast that investigation was taken by BBC management despite the content being signed off in accordance with BBC guidelines and editorial policy, which it says appears to be a political decision, adding that the BBC response shows the organization is crippled by the fear of being perceived as critical of the Israeli government. I mean, the the decision not to broadcast this is a scandal. The the BBC only broadcast one of the documentary which actually looked properly at the war crimes being committed every single day against the Palestinian people in Gaza. And then they pulled that documentary because the child narrator was the son of a deputy agricultural minister who's a technocrat, which had no bearing on anything he said because was a child narrator whose words were scripted for him rather than to say his father. And that was that they they capitulated the BBC to the demands of the pro Israel lobby. Here's another documentary which passes all their checks, which is past the channel four channel four taking it on. They've gone through their rigorous process, and the BBC refused to show a program which documents the objective systematic attacks on the health care system, the destruction of the health care system in Gaza.

Example: The murder of Muhammed Bhar. A 24-year-old Gazan with Down syndrome. An IDF dog mauled him. Soldiers left him to die. BBC’s headline? “The lonely death of Gaza man with Down’s syndrome.” The killer went unnamed:

Speaker 0: I was first contacted by a BBC journalist about the killing of Mohammed Baha in July. He was a 24 year old Palestinian man with Down syndrome and autism. He needed round the clock care from his family. He was terrified and traumatized by an Israeli onslaught he didn't understand. On the July 3, the Israeli military raided his home, and as the family begged for mercy, the Israeli army set their dog on this 24 year old man with Down syndrome and autism as he begged for it to stop. This injured young man was put in a separate room and locked away while the family were driven away at gunpoint. They eventually returned. A week later, they found his decomposing body. Now in Middle East, I correctly headlined this, Palestinian with Down syndrome left to die by Israeli soldiers after combat dog attack. The Independent covered it with Gaza man with Down syndrome mauled by Israeli attack dog and left to die, Fanny says. The BBC's original headline, the lonely death of Gaza man with Down syndrome. What the BBC journalist talked me through was a constant framing of stories on terms favorable to Israel.

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

Another Example: The Nasser Hospital raid. BBC led with Israeli claims of a “precise mission.” Aid groups said conditions were catastrophic. No hostages were found. Berg co-bylined the piece:

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

Example 3: The “Flour Massacre.” Israeli forces opened fire on starving Palestinians waiting for food. BBC gave prominence to IDF denials. Their own fact-check debunking those claims wasn’t included. Data shows the pattern:

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

In 2,900+ BBC Gaza war stories, only 27% of Palestinian death headlines named the killer. For Israelis, it was 43%. “Retaliatory” was used 210 times for Israeli strikes — and 0 for Palestinians. Watchdog reports found more:

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

Context on occupation stripped away. Israeli sources trusted. Palestinian ones doubted. BBC management told staff they “did not recognize the bias.”

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

The BBC front page can give a story millions of views. Staff allege Berg acted as a gatekeeper for all Israel/Gaza coverage. That kind of power shapes the global narrative:

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

BBC says it’s impartial. They reject claims of a “lenient stance” toward Israel. They say Berg’s role is misunderstood. But for staff, this isn’t about picking sides:

@themuslimvoteuk - The Muslim Vote

It’s about upholding the BBC’s own standards. One insider at the BBC summed it up well: “Most people with a conscience here have found our coverage on Palestine is frankly despicable - and certainly not up to our editorial standards.”

On October 7, 2023, I began documenting the spread of Israeli atrocity propaganda, revealing that many deaths that day resulted from Israeli fire. My investigations included firsthand accounts from survivors and analysis of military directives that led to civilian casualties. I exposed false narratives surrounding alleged mass rapes and highlighted the lack of accountability for those responsible. Despite mainstream media's reluctance to cover these truths, I continued to uncover evidence of systemic violence and propaganda, emphasizing the need for transparency and justice.

@intifada - Electronic Intifada

🔴On 7 October 2023, Israel began spreading atrocity propaganda — rapes, burned babies, family massacres. But a big share of deaths that day were by Israeli fire. From the start, EI exposed these lies while mainstream media spread them. Here's some of our key investigations🧵

@intifada - Electronic Intifada

On 16 October 2023, we published the groundbreaking story, "Israeli forces shot their own civilians, kibbutz survivor says" — Yasmin Porat's firsthand testimony that Israeli troops, not Palestinian fighters, massacred Israeli civilians in Kibbutz Be'eri https://electronicintifada.net/content/israeli-forces-shot-their-own-civilians-kibbutz-survivor-says/38861

Israeli forces shot their own civilians, kibbutz survivor says Palestinian fighters treated Israeli captives "humanely," recalls Yasmin Porat. electronicintifada.net

@intifada - Electronic Intifada

Later that month, we ran, "Israel furious that elderly captive spoke of humane treatment by Hamas" — about Yocheved Lifshitz, who spoke well of the treatment she had received in Gaza, a message the government did not want the world to hear https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/israel-furious-elderly-captive-spoke-humane-treatment-hamas

Israel furious that elderly captive spoke of humane treatment by Hamas Yocheved Lifshitz explains why she shook the hand of a Hamas fighter when she was released. electronicintifada.net

@intifada - Electronic Intifada

In "Shoot everything: how Israeli pilots killed their own civilians," we revealed that Israeli aircraft fired indiscriminately, killing Israelis and Palestinians alike https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/shoot-everything-how-israeli-pilots-killed-their-own-civilians

"Shoot at everything": How Israeli pilots killed their own civilians Viral video highlights chaotic and indiscriminate attacks by Apache helicopters on 7 October. electronicintifada.net

@intifada - Electronic Intifada

In November 2023, Israeli air force colonel Nof Erez confirmed to a Hebrew-only podcast that Israel had targeted its own people, calling it a “mass Hannibal” https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/we-blew-israeli-houses-7-october-says-israeli-colonel

We blew up Israeli houses on 7 October, says Israeli colonel "Mass Hannibal" stopped Israelis being taken captive by killing them. electronicintifada.net

Israeli child “burned completely” by Israeli tank fire at kibbutz Survivor Yasmin Porat provides new details of 7 October bloodbath. electronicintifada.net

@intifada - Electronic Intifada

On the EI Livestream on 4 December 2023, we did our first major debunking of Israel's 7 October "mass rape" hoax — many more reports would follow, dismantling Israel's false claims of systematic sexual violence https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/watch-debunking-israels-mass-rape-propaganda

Watch: Debunking Israel's "mass rape" propaganda This is a deceptive campaign based not on evidence but an appeal to racist notions that Palestinians are inherently violent and cruel. electronicintifada.net

@intifada - Electronic Intifada

Later that month, in "Israeli general killed Israelis on 7 October, then lied about it," EI revealed how senior officer Barak Hiram ordered his forces to fire on Israelis, then tried to blame Hamas https://electronicintifada.net/content/israeli-general-killed-israelis-7-october-then-lied-about-it/43176

Israeli general killed Israelis on 7 October then lied about it Barak Hiram's fabrications about Israeli children being tied up and shot helped lay ground for genocide in Gaza. electronicintifada.net

@intifada - Electronic Intifada

In January 2024, we published more evidence of Israel's use of the Hannibal Directive — its policy of killing its own people to stop them being taken captive "at any cost" https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/asa-winstanley/israeli-hq-ordered-troops-shoot-israeli-captives-7-october

Israel's national murder-suicide pact Some Israelis support "Hannibal" doctrine and say they'd rather kill family than see them captured. electronicintifada.net

How Israel killed hundreds of its own people on 7 October One year on, the evidence is overwhelming. electronicintifada.net

1. Andy Lee uncovers the Palestinian protest funding used to destabilize Canadian civil society.

@RealAndyLeeShow - Andy Lee

They won’t do it, so I will. Who is funding some of the massive “grassroots” Palestinian protests in Canada? They are planning on shutting down Ottawa tomorrow. I’ll tell you exactly who is organizing and funding it. A thread: 1/

@p00rpete - PeterPitterPatter

This stuff is super well organized... it would be nice if some of the journalists who lied about the trucker Convoy spent some time figuring out who's funding these protests

@WiretapMediaCa - Wiretap Media

2. Andy Lee exposes possible voter fraud by Liberal MP Han Dong.

@RealAndyLeeShow - Andy Lee

Since no one in the Liberal Party seems to know, Han Dong, according to this, beat Julie Bang-Gu Jiang by a mere 14 votes - meaning that if just fifteen students voted for him who did not “ordinarily” live in his riding, that he is now sitting as an illegitimately-elected MP. @PIFIEPIE @csiscanada

@RealAndyLeeShow - Andy Lee

Since Han Dong seems to be having memory problems, here are the invitations circulated through a student group at Seneca on WeChat asking for assistance to help him win the Liberal Party nomination. It also says the organizer provided volunteers with certificates. @PIFIEPIE

3. Empty offices, strange locations, Andy Lee exposes what appears to be a climate change money laundering operation.

@RealAndyLeeShow - Andy Lee

We found another headquarters for the Canadian Climate Institute, registered at 192 Spadina Ave., Suite 316, in Toronto. This “charity” received $30,000,000 from the federal government, yet CRA filings show zero dollars allocated to charity work. It’s exactly as we expected. 🎥 credit: @KloetMichelle.

4. Canada's Terror funding rabbit hole, Andy Lee exposes Islamic Relief Canada's connection to overseas terrorism.

@RealAndyLeeShow - Andy Lee

Tucked into Islamic Relief Canada’s 2024 donees is a gift for $458,440 to The Canadian Muslim Vote - a non-profit that’s supposed to be “non-partisan” which is run by NDP donor Umair Ashraf. Islamic Relief then received a grant of $14 million in 2025 - right before the election. @ElectionsCan_E Credit: @MBrant75

@RealAndyLeeShow - Andy Lee

Islamic Relief Canada spent over $67 million overseas in 2024, according to CRA filings. A good portion is funnelled to Islamic Relief Worldwide - a charity which has been involved in multiple controversies over alleged ties to terrorist organizations. Most of it went to Gaza.

5. Big Brother is watching, Andy Lee exposes government-funded influencer spying operation.
