TRTL I don't think that Pilger works from some unattainable utopian standpoint.He is looking at a reality that in 2008 I would never have entertained.Both Bush and Obama are owned by the same people.ie Wall St and the big Global Res banks.

You like the most of the Western World have been seduced by the Corportate deception of freedom when in fact,we including Haiti are in the slavery of debt that need not exist.You just do not understand the injustice of this system.

I met Luke Rudowski a co-founder of this big movement in the USA and Europe late last yr.Go there and learn the truth.

Pilger is one of many who love the benefits and comforts produced by people with a Christian Judea ethics but hates the people. On the other hand he endorses the vodoo and other demonic practices and blames others for the fruit of it.

Thanks John Pilger for another illuminating and percipient article about the Corporate States of America. Most of Haiti's dire problems as a nation for 200 years can be laid at the door of the French and the Americans, who sponsored the vile Duvalier dictatorship.

This is also a great article, by the Guardian's Gary Younge, published on the National Times website today:

Street, Chris Lewis, KenH and TRTL, you have nothing to say. Clearly, you know nothing about Haiti, nor wish to know it, despite its tragic route on to the front pages for a few days. Not one of you even mentioned Haiti. No doubt the mere sight of Pilger's name gets you salivating or, to use Pilger's word, 'hyperventilating'. This is supposed to be a site for people to argue and debate, perhaps to inform; you're just making a personal attack.

Runner likes to pretend that modern comforts and peace are the sole invention of judeo-christian ethics. Ignorance prevents runner from seeing that almost all were derived from other civilisations both preceding and coexistent, and doesn't note that in the absence of wealth they don't correlate as well. Does Runner know where the word ethics came from?

Note that the parable of the good samaritan is not about a jew.

Runner doesn't understand his religion or much else.

Come on runner, prove you actually know something not part of the hackneyed televangelist mould: *where* does the word "ethics" come from?

A must-watch film about Obama and previous USA Presidents being in the pocket of the Bilderberg group.

Not a conspiracy theory. Obama promised to withdraw troops from Afghanistan but added more troops.

With all due respect Rapscallion, you didn't actually mention any new details about Haiti either.

Pot, kindly meet the kettle. Apparently it's black.

Assumptions breed ignorance Rapscallion, and my entire point was that there are many shades of morality. You can't exercise some moral high ground by saying you care more about Haiti. Words are all there are here. All we did was say we don't agree with Pilger's more extremist conspiratorial theories. That doesn't give you the right to dictate what we do or don't care about.

For the record, I'm a leftie. It's the extremists at either end of the spectrum that give the rest a bad name, and I define extremists as idiots who jump in and cry foul while ascribing false motives to their opponents.

Something to think about.
