What was WICB contribution if any?

[mapoui]

they gave the money to the wrong people! WIPA should have conveyed it directly to haiti and given it to organisations selflessly and directly disbursing any aid that comes their way, directly to the people who need it in haiti.

the americans have stopped all the aid they have power, over from reaching the Haitian people. the americans are carrying out a genocide right in front of our faces. the americans dominate and control caricom. none of that half a million will reach the haitian people.

its all a waste of time! bill cliton will add it to the general fund of donations he controls as american viceroy to haiti, using in for investment in infrastructure that is going to produce profit for the relevant corporations, using also the haitian elite as conduit and local facilitators, in whose directions some financial crumbs will be tossed.

Ram looking for publicity maybe..not to be as effective as he might be in using that money for which it was intended?

Maybe so but its hard to know who to give in Haiti no? CARICOM working with the Haitian government could put it to good use no? Look WIPA did its part in raising the money now is up to the people who get the money to do the right thing.

What is WICB involvement in helping our Haitian bro in need?

yu see that is the problem with people...especially those who have carved out a little for themselves, believe they have a stake in things and side with the man for no good reason...pure blindness!

if yu want things to go well who is to make them go well but yu/we, us ordinary folk?

and making things go well means taking the time to make sure the work yu do for progress goes all the way!

so WIPA did its part and must wash its hands at that point of handing over the collection eh!. what happens next?

haiti blossoms in huge condo and tourist development, time-sharing construction and all that. the local people can enter those areas only as servants/workers. there will be good roads in haiti that lead only to those developments. all in haiti eventually will be organised to serve such developments. also the maquiladora extension that already extists is the basis of industry of haiti..such industry that is there in haiti!

now what is WIPA investment in that...1/2 a million...! that comes back to enslave the people of haiti, given to the corporations free of charge. WIPA can earn no interests on it while he corporations make massive profits. its all free of charge money to the corporations. that is where almost all of the aid money from the west has gone...into the corporate for profit investment in taking over haiti, free of interest charges.

so WIPA far from helping has hurt hait to the tune of half a million dollars. no matter how little it is it hurts and harms, not helps in the situation. its best WIPA did not collect a brown cent for haiti, all the harm this is likely to do!

now there are those aid outfits in haiti that are known to be doing excellent, direct work to and for the haitian people. it wont even take the time one takes to scratch ones A...to find out, select one and channell the money there.

it might have made sense even to just give the money to the Venezuelan or Cuban governments, who give and give and give and give to haiti..on a continuing basis. if it werent for these two governments haiti would have absolutely nutten going on for the people at this time. these two governments would have used the money properly, among the hundereds of millions they already give to haiti without looking back!

I get your point but where do we stop? Peeps has to be accountable Raising money is not an easy task and its a welcome gesture for an organization in the Caribbean. Let's get a list of all governments and organizations in the Caribbean and the amount they gave...

man you have to have a comprehensive approach to this thing you know! this is the westindies! we have a historical relationship with the power in the world that is not healthy. it is a relatiohsip that is comprehensive, touches all aspects of our life in the region. if you are progressive, wish to have a progressive regional life, developing with a safe home for the people, one to which yu can go back into and live yourself for peace happines warmth and prosperity you have to know and oppose the evil totally...not piecemeal but totally, as comprehensively as we are tied up negatively.

the power in the world, the western elites have no positive future in mind for the westindies you know. how in the hell could they? they simply cannot. we eithet take the bull by the horns or wait until the western masses rise up and eliminate their nasty elites that has brought the world to this current dangerous state of things.

but I would not hold my breath waiting on ordinary white people to rise up and change their societies. we have a job to do and we must do it or our future becomes untennable. you see some of the islands are already almost unlivable socially. that wont get any better even with Kamla and a 'new' government in power in Titty!

man have to know wats going orn and know what to do at every turn in ones behalf and in that of the nations of the region. anything else is co-optation..working opposite to one best interest and the interest of the region.

yu might get fed-up of my point of view but I am pretty close to the truth. man have one job at all times and that is to see ones onw best interest as long and far as one can see it and act faithfully by it.

no matter what you may think to the contrary the USA has stomped on haiti after the quake and shut down all aid... and has created a situation on the ground in haiti that is nothing but genocide. and the group that is overseeing haitian 'reconstruction' bossed over by viceroy Bill Clinton.... a major enemy of haiti as president of the USA....is focused on turning haiti over to western corporations, who have been given the island for free, by the us power.

I may be wrong and caricom will find a proper recipient for the money in haiti! {and I will try to track it myself} but I dound that can will take place in the eye of the american power in the region, whose purpose and actions, in haiti is genocide not saving that people of Haiti!

I see your point, but I believe the players were sincere in their effort to help, and I credit them for that.

certainly the players were sincere! and I not blaming them and WIPA for anything at all.

I am using this to say many thing and to inform, hoping that future efforts hew to a line more in tune with what is needed for moving the situation forward.

I am confident in future ramnarine would be more comprehensive in any action of the sort the Wipa and the players may respond to

[mapoui]

sorry if at the start I appear to have attacked ramnarine. I should not have prhased my response in such a manner>

anyhow if allyuh think there is a future for us in the plans of the almighty western elite take a look at this:

given this response, the response to katrina and othe disasters do the governments really care about the people at all, lblatantly leaving them to thier own efforst and devices in the face of disaster?

and there is a lot more too!

if they leave white people to lose out and die where does that leave us!
