Build Brand New Cities Rather Than Repair Old Ones.

HAITI'S CHANCE FOR NEW INFRASTRUCTURES.
It Is Time To Change An Old Face For A New One.
By Wilgëens "AfroLatino" Rosenberg.

Many ideas for change at first tend to often sound improbable, especially in theories. None or nevertheless, those ideas no matter how extreme they may seem can quite often be very feasible depending on just how much optimism they are looked upon with. Improbability and skepticism has never stopped the human race and power from overcoming and achieving many goals before, and they sure are not about to start now.

Recently, three hurricanes have ravaged Haiti, and those devastated storms have brought despair to this extremely impoverish Country already with many hardships, uncertainties among many other issues such a poor Nation has to deal with. Regardless of the adversity, surely Haiti and its government will try to rebuild many hope. Rebuilding is not going to be easy as well as it will be dire and costly given the Country's bad economic, political and social issues plaguing this Nation. Which left many to wonder just how in the world would it even be possible for this Country to repair its already damaged infrastructures which were already ill structured and deteriorating.

If repairing the before ill deteriorating, poorly structured and damaged infrastructures were part of any projects of the Haitian government to addressed and to soon be undertaking; the best only positive that could ever come out of the recent devastation of those hurricanes is for the Haitian Government to build new towns and cities instead of trying to waste time fixing the old ones. Here is the chance, in light of all the disparity and pain the storms have brought to Haiti, many believe that this is the change Haiti has been waiting for. Here is why...

A new town, community or city are infrastructures that are often carefully planned from its inception, concept and construction; thus or therefore with a better sense of geographic environmental awareness, eco-consideration and with more safe or sound choices to keep in mind so those infrastructure will stand a better chance facing natural disaster or challenges. Several of the world capitals from many now highly developed Countries such as in the United States, Germany, the United Arabs Emirates and even India are planned cities dating back in history and since that it was very common of European conquerors, new developers, builders and settlers to build according to a plan with options of either build on fresh ground or on the ruins of old and earlier cities.

In this new age, already the Haitian government was facing the challenges of pondering just how it was going to improve the quality of life and condition of the people so that Haiti can meet the requirements of this new century to come. Haiti's neighbors such as the Dominican Republic and the Turks & Caicos have already begun to step up their infrastructures and their improvements have boosted tourism, their economy and many social challenges. Many feels that it is time that Haiti, the oldest Black Republic in the western hemisphere falls in line with them.


P.S: Nowadays, it is more costly tying to fix an old car than to just purchase a new one. The same concept is applied when trying to fix an old depreciated, low in value house, thus the same can be said in Haiti's case that it would by far cost more money which Haiti do not have and would have to borrow to try to repair the old ill damaged infrastructures of certain cities than it would cost them to just simply build new towns, small subsidized projects, communities and even city which in the end or long run would deemed to be more beneficial for Haiti in all or any aspects you may have to look at it.

With the help of any kind of security improvements in Haiti along with the right Tax incentive and leniency to investors, foreign or domestic, such ideas are not only just probable and feasible for Haiti, they are in fact do-able with all kinds of optimism to look forward to if the Haitian people understand the fact that it would be more economically efficient in terms of improving Haiti's infrastructure for the better if they build brand New Cities instead or rather than try to repair old devastated and deteriorated ones.

THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF HAITI'S ARMED FORCES.

THE RE-ESTABLISHMENT OF HAITI'S ARMED FORCES.
HAITI'S MILITARY BRANCH: Is It A Possibility?
By Wilgeens Rosenberg
http://www.HispanolanoYoSoy.skyrock.com/

The regular Haitian Armed Forces (FADH) - Army, Navy, and Air Force - have been demobilized but still exist on paper until or unless they are constitutionally abolished which by law it has not. Yes indeed, Haiti's Military Branch is quite a formidable possibility and as it always shall...

Thus Haiti may very well soon has a Military Force which to my knowledge is in progress via the recruitment of the Police Force system which will later be divided when and once the maximum capacity is reached for the Police Force in Haiti as well as when the very bare minimum number is reached for a feasible substantial amount for an Army in Haiti through that very same system that is being used for the present Haitian Police Force.

However, most of that possibility of an Armed Forces in Haiti depends on the level of confidence and competence of those Police members. The MINUSTAH's role and UN/NATO mission does not constitute in Agendum the training and establishment of an Armed Forces in Haiti since they are peace keepers and not indeed a direct Military invading force of a specific Nation. In explanation of the complexity of the politics of things, to explain why the United States of American Armed Forces managed to have left soon enough so that this did not become their mission simply because eventually it would have been. But also, to would have had this being their mission, it would have had to be consisted of them having been or being directly the force that discontinued the existence of the Haitian Armed Forces which they were not.

The legitimacy of it all is that, it was done by the implementation of an actual act of a Constitutionally Democratically elected official president thus Jean-Bertrand Aristide whom as head of State and Commander In Chief of the Nation that he may have had a sense of legal responsibility to do if he had deemed so that this Force which many may already know was corrupted and represented a National Threat to the Country of his Presidency in whole which were the known patterns for that Armed Force in Haiti to routinely have done so in may occasions they have been part of most if not all of the Coups in Haiti.

So the re-establishment of an Armed Forces in Haiti would have to be a well concise thought out process as well as its support financially would have to be well planed out as to consider all economical ramifications of that possibility, positive and negative ones. The amount of strategy it would require is devastatingly challenging as clearly and understandably it is not an easy task and project that perhaps Haiti may want to start getting engaged into for now if the Country itself has not amass any prospects of respectable of margin of gains economically and since the politics of the political aspects of things in Haiti have not improved much if at all.

The Governmental challenges and incompetencies of both the Executive and Parliament or Legislative Branch lack great fundamental cohesion as well as the corruptive mantra of bad politics being practiced in the Country in whole renders most of that possibility of re-establishing the Haitian Armed Forces a dire challenge or notion to conceive at this time.

Never or nonetheless, Haiti as indeed a Sovereign Independent Nation deserves every shot at this if that was to be part of the ambitions and goals of Haiti's politicians and lawmakers one day for Haiti; yes, it is quite a possibility.

WHERE DO YOU STAND? YES YOU, WHAT CAN YOU DO TO CHANGE THE CURRENT ILL SITUATION?

WHERE DO YOU STAND ON HISPANIOLA?
In helping Haiti And The Dominican Republic That Is.
By Wilgeens "HispanolanoYoSoy" Rosenberg

* Claim that I am confused; accept or deny me all you all may. Be it that you are Haitian, Dominican or whatever. Your playing small does not help the World, much less "Hispaniola" in whole or the Haitian and Dominican Republic separately .

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be?

Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory that is within us.

It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
" -- Marianne Williamson.

Therefore I know me, who and what I am and always will be all that I am; thus I know self. This is the Code I live by and this is the letter I write to myself and what I truly know and believe :

Your Honorable,

Nothing, and I do mean nothing is free. Not even the air one breathes, only Integrity is free. For there is a consequence and price for all. Your will or determination, thus most importantly Integrity is the only things that keeps one in the grace of honor thus when standing tall and of course helps you get up after every great fall.

Honor alone without Integrity is a liability and proven useless. For it is Integrity which keeps your honor balanced and open your eyes to understand the mistakes one has made and to consciously realize never again they will come to be given of which one has experienced such mistakes with Integrity. Pride by itself is ignorance without Integrity. Only with Integrity one may ever come to admit his or her flaws and confront obstacles and challenges with bravery that indicates where he or she has stood right or wrong where ruse itself may try to prevail yet may not and never triumph as long Integrity does exist. As many would and should rather die with Integrity a million times than to die without it.

For above all Integrity keeps hopes and dreams prosper and defeat Hatred's secrets that hate itself has never told. Integrity is your friend and best peer, so embrace it. For it is strong, loving, honest and bold and its work shall never end as long as one has it by their sides.

Your best friend and always,

Integrity.

PS: WHAT HAVE YOU DONE YESTERDAY, WHAT ARE DOING TODAY, WHAT CAN AND WILL YOU DO TOMORROW TO HELP HAITI, DR OR HISPANIOLA?

WHAT IS YOUR PLAN FOR HAITI: It Is Time For Actions.
This Time, No Could haves, Should Haves And Would Haves.
By Wilgeens Rosenberg

Tell me if this is not the easiest question yet the hardest for any Haitians to answer. Yet the blame games continues, the playing victims and hiding behind excuses why they cannot take the road to self-sufficiency persist.

Still no Haitians have answered this simple question that is not a math question, or rocket science nor does it require any kind of intellectual brain cells to answer it. You go to many other sites, even Haitian blogging site like http://www.PrevalHaiti.com and http://www.DominicanToday.com that many Haitian frequent thinking the site is actually being monitored by Preval or his staffs of some sort, it is still just a basic question that many Haitians find so difficult to answer. One wonders why and how so...?

Haiti is going through a crisis and has been for decades. Every Haitians claim they would like Haiti to change as though the land itself is a being that would up and change itself in a blink of an eye. We have many Haitians that are good for only words and they will post all kinds of "opinions, views and ideas" as well as many kinds "suggestions, recommendation and criticisms. " Yet, the one question remains and no a single Haitians can answer it without trying to evade, elude and derail from it by bashing and constantly change the subject. All in efforts to always leave this measly ordinary question unanswered because they know individually not one of them has a plan, a dream or passion to try to change Haiti. If only the words of JFK would mean something in Haiti. Can Haitians ever resonate with these words "Ask not your Country can do for you, but rather what you can do for your Country." What are beautiful words to hope will be heard in Haiti one day. Unfortunately, somebody is going to have a problem with this post and tarnish it with their ignorance and stupidity way off the purpose of this thread and that basic question.

Yet you will surf all kinds of blogs and you will see debates, disputes and false pretenses of dialogues of so called those who think they are savvy Haitians speculating all kinds of talks with no actions and endeavors for Haiti truly. Let us see who will step up to the challenge of this simple and basic question which should have been banal of every Haitians to keep asking each other each day.

The question was and still remains: This time with a video clip to regress on:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZiVYVoy8QA

FOR THE LOVE OF COUNTRY AND AS A HAITIAN, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE, CAN YOU OR WILL YOU DO TO CHANGE THINGS FOR THE BETTERMENT OF HAITI?

POLITICAL GREED AND POWER ARE HAITI'S THUMBSCREWS.

IF THE HYPOCRISY FITS, MAY AS WELL WEAR THE BLAME.
United States And The Internationals This Time Should Not Acquit Before Repair.
By Wilgeens Rosenberg
http://www.HispanolanoYoSoy.skyrock.com/

Washington, thus the United States, deserves a great share of the blame for Haiti's political crisis. Here is why and how, and it starts with a very basic simple notion of the forty-eight laws of power tactic. http://www.failinghaiti.com/preview.html In Haiti's case, the eleventh and twelfth law of power are what Haiti need to stop being a victim to from foreign sources.

When building a Country's Fundamental, foundations must be first established. Some foundation fundamental processes are visible and some clearly are not. Nevertheless and as expected, the deeper the wounds of a unstable Country the more complex the feasible solution may be and the longer it may require to achieve a respectable level of political integrity in such Country thus in this case Haiti which has not been a Democratically oriented system in decades and perhaps never was. Too many Trojan horses has caused and is causing Haiti to fall into the great suspended terrors that have became part of the Haitian experience created by those supposedly Perfect Courtiers exploiting Haiti's Weakness and they are playing on Haiti's need for the perfect last blow and kill as Haiti has not disdain itself from the things we do not need and cannot have given under the circumstances how it has gotten its Independence were never to the likings of its suppressors and oppressors who are still externally enslaving and silently colonizing Haiti because Haiti has not learned to despise the free lunches. Most donated given aides are either trickeries or hidden obligations.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zZiVYVoy8QA

The U.S in their promotion campaign around the world have always had an hypocritical twist as to where they focus their determination for such Democracy to succeed and most importantly it is rather about who can afford it since to the Unites States it has always been an investment matter than it ever has been a moral one period. Their level of obligations to see democracy succeed anywhere they have intervene exist only when and where there is profitable interests to gain. Once again, in Haiti's case natural resources such as oil, much of gold among other resources is greatly lacking, thus Haiti's dependency on the United states to successfully become democratically prosperous is bound to no eventuality prospects to ever really happen in Haiti especially given Haiti is a black Country which most of the other European descendent Countries hold great resentments toward such a Nations such as Haiti which goes back from their not recognizing Haiti to intentional pledged vows to make sure a black independent black republic such as Haiti sees its demise that it is facing today.

The International bodies undeniably have always been contributing to Haiti's plight for centuries and decades and now more so than ever having always been the imposing divisive and quite influential corruptive particles of Haiti's political management and yes the dignity and integrity of the Haitian politicians are always in question given they have always allowed the manipulation of the of Foreign particles to lure them astray which seems to always geared toward taking Haiti away from its path to ever become a self-sufficient nation. Providing much of all evidence within the Haitian political arena, there have been compelling proof of the U.S involvements at the highest level of the US Government in inciting instability in Haiti from funding, providing and supporting criminal gangs, corrupted police members and rebel groups to uprise against Haitian Governments as well as having done before of always putting many Haitian Governments under many political pressure to make certain decision which never benefit Haiti and its people thus always feeding the International Committee purpose at keeping the Nation of Haiti at a destabilizing status and State.

For a prime example, the US-created and supported political opposition called the Democratic Convergence. When the Convergence formed its own parallel government, Washington rewarded that coalition by treating those law breakers as equal to the Haiti's president, Jean-Bertrand Aristide. While many Haitians may not favor Aristide but Governmental fundamental Foundations could have started with him and believe and accept it or not, he was succeeding at least ideologically and systematically instilling such a prospect, but it was not visible to eyes of many given the level of impatience of the Haitian people, the lack of participation of the Haitian elite and private sectors as well as Haiti's already deteriorating State of corruptive and foreign manipulative based Governance. Can the United States imagine Al Gore forming his own government because he did not like the result of the 2000 presidential election? Take a look at Mc Cain's hypocritical flip flopping stances on these videos with poor Countries and oil having Countries:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BPyKpcivQYQ
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=palbo-ilalU

Especially the Bush administration's policy on and toward Haiti have surely led Haiti toward this level of Political jeopardy that it is at now and facing today which has been miserably a US failure of Democracy in Haiti because it is based on a fundamental dislike of Mr. Aristide rather than on the interest of stability in the region itself like the US is adamant at seeing a success for in Iraq.

Thus I have left with you all these clips of videos above to see for yourself the hypocrisy that exists in the plights Haiti and it is facing today and where much of the blames lie. If the clips are no playing, click on the links themselves. So,what Haiti is facing today partly, partly who is to blame many of us are asking...?

"Hispaniola”

AN ECONOMICALLY STABLE HAITI AND DOMINICAN REPUBLIC
"A Better Hispaniola"

http://www.imf.org/external/pubs/ft/wp/2007/wp0763.pdf
By Wilgeens Rosenberg


INDEED, AN ECONOMICALLY AND POLITICALLY STABLE HAITI WILL STEAM GREATER RELATIONS WITH THE DOMINICAN REPUBLIC AND THE OTHER LATIN COUNTRIES WILL FOLLOW SUIT.

There are reasons for one to feel good about the prospect of the future for both nations because they will soon have to reach a common understanding and ground to function. Hoping for such a co-existing reconciliation to be more positive and productive than negative in the future to help stop the blaming game.

As many may know, in light of any economical challenges any country may face, social differences and challenges arise in effort to shift blames which is understandably no more than what it is known and referred to as a basic human reaction emotion called PANIC.

"The Dominican Republic and Haiti share the island of Hispaniola and are broadly similar in terms of geography and historical institutions, yet their growth performance has diverged remarkably. The countries had the same per capita real GDP in 1960 but, by 2005, the Dominican Republic's per capita real GDP had tripled whereas that of Haiti had halved."

Many individuals who are of both Dominican and Haitian mix are wishing that they could be proud to say one day, any day, that both of what they are surely are the best of worlds one can ever wish to be a part of.

In retrospect to the lack of respect that many may have toward creole and the dynamic of the Island itself as a whole, one thing is to be said: When and where else, but in HIspaniola, in the history of any civilizations in this known World has it taken a civilization less than 100 years to become two free independent Nations as well as for one nation to invent and finest a new language? Much more or less after severals European conquering Colonizations to have had any expectations that independence and a new language would have come from an only third generation group of slaves or people of color. Now if that is not a uniquely phenomenal matter, nothing else is. Know this, that this is something exceptionally remarkable and for the Haitians, Dominicans and people of color all over the world to be proud of and walk with their heads up high. Haiti and the Dominican Republic which share this great Island have been through so much together and separately. Yet, though lacking the prosperity of certain advanced Countries, they were still able to accomplish this much and have come this far... surely and unmistakably they can overcome any traverses present now. That one must strongly believe!!!

Like it, accept and deny it or not, as it once has been said before. Without any doubts that perhaps there would or could have been a different kind of Dominican Republic, if at all; and indeed a different kind of USA to include Louisiana, Georgia and Chicago as well as would it be so for Venezuela, Columbia, Ecuador and many more other Latin-American Countries had there not ever been a Haiti.

Indeed, it is quite understandable if any now advanced Countries or any resentful former colonizing imperialists would fear such a bliss as this, that of... "Hispaniola”
