Haiti is the first free country in this hemisphere, borne out of a slave revolt. For two centuries, it's been rewarded for that contribution to humankind with pillage, coups, destabilization, and military occupation from France, US, and their Western junior partners.
Miami Herald @MiamiHerald – Oct 15
Exclusive: U.S. will support sending ‘multinational rapid action force’ to Haiti
“Western” hostility to Haiti’s legacy of liberation is so entrenched that a French ambassador admitted that it factored in their 2004 coup of President Aristide, who dared to ask France to pay reparations for looting Haiti as the “price” of its freedom in 1804:

A major revelation buried deep within this excellent historical overview: France’s then-ambassador admits on the record that the U.S. and France orchestrated a coup against Haiti’s elected president in 2004
The Root of Haiti’s Misery: Reparations to Enslavers

Use as open (NOT Ukraine) thread …
Kevin Pina made very good documentaries about the Haiti 2004 coup, namely Haiti The Untold Story, while he was still on the run from the MINUSTAH death squads, with the consequence that the victims’ faces are not obscures, e.g. babies shot in the face, one man’a jaw destroyed as he crawls his last, then the camera pans away, and a few minutes later, the police have had opportunity to place a pistol on the body—Pina relied quite heavily on footage of Haitian journalists. Later, he released a second version (faces obscured), “Haiti we must kill the bandits”.
The documentaries also show the arson and other terrorism (including the dumpster-burning of signed ballots of the fraudulent and unconstitutionally Canadian run 2006 election in Haiti—the constitution of Haiti requires the current president to call the new election, but Aristide had been kidnapped by US special forces terrorists, and was been held hostage in the then US puppet dictatorship of Central African Republic), but excluding the mass pedophilia of MINUSTAH. The pedophilia came in two forms, to wit, direct rape (also against adults) by UN/MINUSTAH “peacekeepers”, and by known Haitian pedophiles of the then former (and disbanded on account of said pedophilia among other crimes) Haitian National Army, in their capacity as RCMP-trained Haitian National Police (five years before i.e. in 1999, the RCMP denied personnel from the same group entry to Canada on account of said and other crimes).
The propaganda motivation of the coup was based on a senatorial seat election that was unsuccessfully challenged in the Haitian courts iirc, but this was expanded to a false accusation of general fraud, then extended to the election of Aristide (the parliamentary, senatorial and presidential elections were simultaneous). In actual fact, no substantive evidence of fraud was found, but the subsequent Canadian-run, and since after stripper/rapper/pole dancer/international cocaine trader/Canadian puppet dictator Sweet Mickey (aka Michel Martelly) was installed, US-run unconstitutional elections have all been fraudulent. Sweet Mickey reinstated the pedo army.
The actual motivation of the coup was three-fold: France wasn’t too pleased that Aristide demanded return of the slavery quit-rent (with interest) that Haiti had paid France from the 1820s to 1949 (9 million gold Francs, several billion US$). Paul Martin’s one golfing buddy had lost a fair bit of profit at his t-shirt sweatshops in Haiti due to Aristide doubling the minimum wage. Bush was eyeing the oil field south of Cuba and Haiti.
During MINUSTAH, the pedo-peacekeepers militarily occupied Haiti’s first medical school, thus preventing it from functioning.
Sweet Mickey wasn’t the first international cocaine trader that Canada attempted to install in Haiti; Guy Philippe was first, and in Pina’s first documentary on the 2004 coup and invasion, the documentary starts with him bloviating about Aristide. He is currently in a Florida gaol, appealing his own plea bargain conviction for cocaine trade.
During the previous coup against Aristide, the junta had a nominal gun importation ban against it, placed by the US, but as an oil publication noted, this ban wasn’t enforced; it was enforced upon Aristide’s first return (after the first US coup against him). This creates a situation where gangs often had (black market?) access to automatic firearms, while the police did not. Later the government would negotiate with gangs not to murder the police. Gangs that agreed were later labled as “Aristide supporters” (as if not gangs) by the business press, e.g. “The Economist”.
During the early stages of the 2004 coup, Guy Philippe returned from his Mexico-based cocaine trade activities, to his former town of Gonaives (where he had been police chief until the mid-90s). At the time, a gang that had agreed not to murder police (the gang was called Cannibal Army), had suffered the murder of its chief by another gang that had agreed not to murder police. This was labled as “Aristide killing his own supporters” in the business press. In the resulting shoot-outs, many Cannibal Army members were killed; prime minister Yvon Neptune was held in prison on a genocide charge (sic; years later laughed out of court) for these gang shoot-out deaths (another MINUSTAH terrorist act: kidnapping and holding hostage Yvon Neptune in “prison”). One of the first acts of the 2004 coup was Guy Philippe taking over leadership of the Cannibal Army, renaming it several times, ultimately settling on “The National Revolutionary Front for the Liberation of Haiti.”
The Cannibal Army then started having shoot-outs with the (more weakly armed) police. However, after a while, the police began to win. At that point the Canadian, US, and French special forces terrorists invaded Haiti, and Aristide was kidnapped at gun point.
The junta administration was centered largely around Haiti’s (Lebanese Marionite extraction) super-thuggish business elite. As an example, one of these oligarchs had manufactured and sold a “cough syrup,” made in part from ethalene glycol (engine anti-freeze). Most of the children who used the cough syrup died as a result. To avoid paying the survivors, he hired assassins to kill the survivors.
At one point during the early years of the (de facto ongoing) junta, while MINUSTAH was still ongoing, one of the Haitian Army pedos that was inducted into the police, beheaded three other police. This was the subject of a great campaign of MINUSTAH propaganda: “Chimeres [alleged youth wing of Aristide’s Famni Lavalas political party, notion dreamed up by Marionite business elite], and Al Qaeda in Haiti [as constituted by Haiti’s Arab minority, i.e. said Maronites—technically Arabised Syriac Christians in communion with the Holy Roman See, but resent being called Arab—the RCMP spokesman repeated this cocaine-addled psychobabble with a straight face, as seen in Pina’s second documentary, and as partially repeated by then Canadian ambassador to Haiti Claude Boucher in the Canadian parliament on 9 November 2004, when he confessed to working with international cocaine trader Guy Philippe] are carrying out Operation Baghdad.”
This propaganda was so embarrassing that to my recollection it currently exists only in the archives of Singapore’s Strait Times.

You can commonly hear Christians spouting out things like “god will not put anything on us that we cannot handle”. But when things are put on Christians and they aren’t able to handle it – if they die – then it was “their time to go, god was calling them home”. If they are not healed, then “it is not god’s will for them to be healed”. If they forsake their beliefs, then “Satan is deceiving them and getting the best of them”. What happen to “god would not put anything on us that we could not bare”? Copouts and evasions a flurry – another staple of religion.
Also the ‘character’ Jesus Christ is an amalgamation of many more ancient prophets/saviors.
The Buddha characters have the following in common with the Christ figure:
• Buddha was born of the virgin Maya, who was considered the “Queen of Heaven.”
• He was of royal descent.
• He crushed a serpent’s head.
• Sakyamuni Buddha had 12 disciples.
• He performed miracles and wonders, healed the sick, fed 500 men from a “small basket of cakes,” and walked on water.
• He abolished idolatry, was a “sower of the word,” and preached “the establishment of a kingdom of righteousness.”
• He taught chastity, temperance, tolerance, compassion, love, and the equality of all.
• He was transfigured on a mount.
• Sakya Buddha was crucified in a sin-atonement, suffered for three days in hell, and was resurrected.
• He ascended to Nirvana or “heaven.”
• Buddha was considered the “Good Shepherd”, the “Carpenter”, the “Infinite and Everlasting.”
• He was called the “Savior of the World” and the “Light of the World.”
Horus of Egypt
The stories of Jesus and Horus are very similar, with Horus even contributing the name of Jesus Christ. Horus and his Father, Osiris, are frequently interchangeable in the mythos (“I and my Father are one”). The legends of Horus go back thousands of years, and he shares the following in common with Jesus:
• Horus was born of the virgin Isis-Meri on December 25th in a cave/manger, with his birth being announced by a star in the East and attended by three wise men.
• He was a child teacher in the Temple and was baptized when he was 30 years old.
• Horus was also baptized by “Anup the Baptizer,” who becomes “John the Baptist.”
• He had 12 disciples.
• He performed miracles and raised one man, El-Azar-us, from the dead.
• He walked on water.
• Horus was transfigured on the Mount.
• He was crucified, buried in a tomb and resurrected.
• He was also the “Way, the Truth, the Light, the Messiah, God’s Anointed Son, the Son of Man, the Good Shepherd, the Lamb of God, the Word” etc.
• He was “the Fisher,” and was associated with the Lamb, Lion and Fish (“Ichthys”).
• Horus’s personal epithet was “Iusa,” the “ever-becoming son” of “Ptah,” the “Father.”
• Horus was called “the KRST,” or “Anointed One,” long before the Christians duplicated the story.

Melaleuca @ 53.
Indeed. I could go on with lists I’ve made detailing the other figures upon whose lives/legends the Christ archetype was based.
Mithra, Sun god of Persia
The story of Mithra precedes the Christian fable by at least 600 years. According to Wheless (from a book), the cult of Mithra was, shortly before the Christian era, “the most popular and widely spread ‘Pagan’ religion of the times.” The Christian hierarchy is nearly identical to the Mithraic version it replaced. Virtually all of the elements of the Catholic ritual, from miter to wafer to water to altar to doxology, are directly taken from earlier pagan mystery religions. [13] Mithra has the following in common with the Christ character:
• Mithra was born on December 25th.
• He was considered a great traveling teacher and master.
• He had 12 companions or disciples.
• He performed miracles.
• He was buried in a tomb.
• After three days he rose again.
• His resurrection was celebrated every year.
• Mithra was called “the Good Shepherd.”
• He was considered “the Way, the Truth and the Light, the Redeemer, the Savior, the Messiah.”
• He was identified with both the Lion and the Lamb.
• His sacred day was Sunday, “the Lord’s Day”.
• Mithra had his principal festival on what was later to become Easter, at which time he was resurrected.
• His religion had a Eucharist or “Lord’s Supper.”
Krishna of India
The similarities between the Christian character and the Indian messiah are many. Indeed, Massey finds over 100 similarities between the Hindu and Christian saviors, and Graves, who includes the various noncanonical gospels in his analysis, lists over 300 likenesses. It should be noted that a common earlier English spelling of Krishna was “Christna,” which reveals its relation to ‘”Christ.” It should also be noted that, like the Jewish godman, many people have believed in a historical, carnalized Krishna.
• Krishna was born of the Virgin Devaki (“Divine One”)
• His father was a carpenter.
• His birth was attended by angels, wise men and shepherds, and he was presented with gold, frankincense and myrrh.
• He was persecuted by a tyrant who ordered the slaughter of thousands of infants.
• He was of royal descent.
• He was baptized in the River Ganges.
• He worked miracles and wonders.
• He raised the dead and healed lepers, the deaf and the blind.
• Krishna used parables to teach the people about charity and love.
• “He lived poor and he loved the poor.”
• He was transfigured in front of his disciples.
• In some traditions he died on a tree or was crucified between two thieves.
• He rose from the dead and ascended to heaven.
• Krishna is called the “Shepherd God” and “Lord of lords,” and was considered “the Redeemer, Firstborn, Sin Bearer, Liberator, Universal Word.”
• He is the second person of the Trinity, and proclaimed himself the “Resurrection” and the “way to the Father.”
• He was considered the “Beginning, the Middle and the End,” (“Alpha and Omega”), as well as being omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.
• His disciples bestowed upon him the title “Jezeus,” meaning “pure essence.”
• Krishna is to return to do battle with the “Prince of Evil,” who will desolate the earth
Etc. And to the notion that (all) Christians view the Old Testament as parable or whatnot, that isn’t true for all denominations. There are plenty of sects/denominations that interpret the OT literally.
There are also many believers in a religious cosmology such as that given in Genesis who do not claim that their beliefs are scientific. They do not believe that the Bible is to be taken as a science text. To them, the Bible contains teachings pertinent to their spiritual lives. It expresses spiritual ideas about the nature of God and the relationship of God to humans and the rest of the universe. Such people do not believe the Bible should be taken literally when the issue is a matter for scientific discovery. The Bible, they say, should be read for its spiritual messages, not it lessons in biology, physics or chemistry. This used to be the common view of religious scholars. Philosophical analyses of the absurdity of popular conceptions of the gods were made by philosophers such as Epicurus (342-270). Creation scientists have no taste for allegorical interpretations.
As mentioned I could go on. I was raised under one of the more fundamentalist/literalist denominations practiced in the United States. At a certain age I began to notice ridiculous incongruities in both the OT and NT as well as in the lack of solid historical evidence for Christ in a time when things were definitely documented. In case anyone doubts that I have done the research, here’s an abbreviated list of my sources.
