This week, Briahna speaks to co-host of This is Revolution Podcast Pascal Robert about the extreme unrest in Haiti. Prime Minister Ariel Henry, who is implicated in the assassination of Haiti's last president, Jovenel Moïse, is calling for international forces to help suppress paramilitary "gangs" in the country, and the US state department seems all to willing to oblige. But the people of Haiti feel differently -- still distrustful of the US for, among other reasons, it's connection to the assassination of Moïse, and the UN's introduction of a cholera epidemic after the devastating 2010 earthquake. Pascal walks us through the players and interests on the ground in Haiti so that we can follow the story knowledgeably as it progresses.  We also touch on the Black diaspora's response to the Queen of England's death, and the reactionary, listless posture of the left in the US.

I like Pascal. I've really enjoyed his conversations on Bad Faith in the past. But then he mentions Ryan Grim's reporting, who is an apologist who makes excuses for and protects Dem Elite Establishment, and US Imperialism. I don't trust any "news" from the US State Dept. or anyone who is a stenographer for them. I do NOT believe Pascal is US dupe. But, his characterization of BBQ and his followers as violent gangs, sounds like a US Talking Point. This sounds like the Haitian PMC version of what is going on. Who's funding BBQ, Pascal? Russia?!? China?!? I like Pascal a lot, and I'm not questioning his motives or his honesty. His viewpoint just feels a bit centered on the business owners, upper middle class in Haiti. I'll wait for the documentary.

Can we stop with the FICTION that Biden is controlling anything? He is literally a puppet being propped up by the Neoliberal Clinton-Cheney-Obama Axis of Evil. They are reckless and obsessed with their Christmas Wish List of Death. Proxy Fossil Fuel war with Russia? Playing games with Nuclear War while arming NAZIS? Invade Haiti? That's just icing on their World Domination Cake. Its yummy for their tummy!

Just finished. This was a great conversation, if a bit short. I felt it could have used another voice, but still loved it! I would totally be up for a dating episode with Pascal! He's closer to my age group, so it would be fun to hear an oldie's take on "Love in the Time of Covid!"

I think Ryan Grim is on our team and has taken responsibility in the past for times of softball reporting and cheerleading the democratic machine. I don't think his motives are protecting the establishment or imperialism or being a state department stenographer

Ryan is Pro-PMC-Duopoly. He's not a friend of workers or the poor. He advocates for "change" thru incrementalism. He makes excuses for Dems or AOC & the Squad. I'm not a fan, but I understand some would think he's an ally. Isn't he on Breaking Points now? You can't be a Leftist and be Pro-War or believe that if we just elect enough "Good Progressives," that the Dem party will change. He may not be a stenographer, but he's bread & butter depends on the system NOT changing. Peace.
