US Chargé d’Affaires in Haiti Eric Stromayer

To the attention of Mr. Eric Stromayer,

US Chargé d’Affaires in Haiti

Mr Stromayer,

I have taken note of your untimely statements on the Haitian crisis which I accuse your country’s secret service of having instigated, and I am amazed at the lightness of your remarks as a “diplomat”. In response to the demonstrations of the sovereign people of Haiti who demand the departure of a bloodthirsty regime that your country has put in place in the country to control those whom you consider to be Negroes whose place is in your cotton fields, you do not You don’t mind crossing new boundaries in your arrogance to indicate that you are in control. It is often said that some men can only be great if they keep others down. You seem to be considered a master in this art, and I must tell you clearly that you will always find men and women from Haiti standing up to tell you the four truths, even at the risk of their lives.

Indeed, reacting to the call for the departure of your little thug Ariel Henry who seems to work in symbiosis with the armed gangs who are massacring the population, you would have indicated on a radio station in Port-au-Prince that this one will leave the head of the country only after the elections. Here, I find myself obliged to ask you a question: do you believe you have the right to make such a declaration on the future of one of the fifty States that make up your country? Otherwise, where does this arrogance come from that makes you believe that you can give dictations to the Haitian people? I’m sorry, but your words, if you say them to reassure the gangsters who rape and massacre little children, and the thugs who manage Haiti for the benefit of your country, they make me want to vomit, and I’m really going to vomit. Because, as arrogant and racist as a human person can be, he cannot spit with such contempt on an entire people as you do. In fact, you see shameless petty politicians pacing the front door of your embassy to get a check and a visa to destroy the country, and you truly believe you see and know the great Haitian people through them to the point of him give orders?

Our ancestors had expelled the French colonists in 1803 and destroyed the slavery that your country had nevertheless kept intact for a very long time after the independence of Haiti, it was not to replace the French colonists with Yankees. Slave owners who would come and order the Haitian people to do this or do that. If you were a good student, you would have learned this lesson through the resistance put up by Charlemagne Péralte and Benoit Batraville during your first holdup on Haiti. To get this into your head, I will tell you bluntly: Haiti is not Ukraine. We won our independence at the price of blood, and we have never hesitated throughout our history to proudly shed our blood to keep it. Like water that never forgets its path, the Haitian people always end up finding the path to revolution. And, this time, he will not hesitate to use the same weapons that come from your country to create this condition of insecurity that you claim to fight to organize bogus elections, to achieve this end.

Eric Stromayer and his little thug Ariel Henry

You aim to organize elections-selections to set up a puppet government which will continue the macabre work of the ” shaved head ” in Haiti. We already know that. You dream of imposing a new constitution which will give you the right to property in Haiti, we know that too. To accomplish one hundredth of that task, in addition to the Kenyan police, you’re going to need to mobilize your entire army, as well as your reserves, and kill two-thirds of the Haitian population – I know you probably don’t mind that. But, know that, as Christophe had said to Leclerc – Napoleon Bonaparte’s man –, the Haitian people will not hesitate to reduce the country to ashes, if that is what will allow them to vomit you up to maintain their freedom. Just like me who does not hesitate to expose myself here to the disastrous consequences of your wrath, every self-respecting Haitian is ready to offer his life to keep his head held high. Our ancestors had done it before us, I don’t see why you think we would hesitate to do it.

You give lessons in human rights and democracy to the whole world, but not a single Haitian, apart from Jean-Baptiste Conzé and his descendants, is interested in enrolling in your school which has given the catastrophic democratic results that we know today in Haiti. We see your attitude toward black people, toward your own black citizens, and we understand that when used by you, the word democracy is another word used to denote terror against us. In this, I can say that we have fully experienced this democracy with successive “tèt kale” governments, and particularly that of Ariel Henry whom you forced through our throats to protect the armed gangs who are massacring our people. Where do you think you are with this condescending attitude? What is this transition that Ariel is supposed to lead in Haiti? A transition to what? Towards the worst? What is your record in Haiti from 1915 to the present day? What are these results that you have achieved with your government led by Ariel Henry? What country does Ariel Henry serve? If you are saying that Ariel Henry is serving Haiti, then you are telling us that Haitians are sadomasochists? Macaques who don’t really know what they want?

Mr. Stromayer, allow me to tell you that no Haitian who wants to serve his people could ally himself with countries like yours, a country where black people are massacred night and day. A country where black people live like tenth class citizens. Listening to you spit on the Haitian people as you do, a Haitian who served Haiti would have told you to get off, because the Haitians who truly serve or who have served Haiti are descended from great men and great women. These Haitians are men and women of value. They have a sense of honor and dignity. They love Haiti and they honor the sacrifice of their ancestors. Most of these Haitians went to the same schools as you, and they know that you and your racist ideas are no match. By descending so low, to this level, to humiliate an entire people, you allow the profile of a small person in need of power to appear. The profile of someone who is no better than the small, villainous dictators he keeps in power by force of bayonets, with the support of armed gangs who rape infants, in the name of democracy.

There is a Haitian proverb which says “ tooth decay is strong on ripe bananas », I am amazed to see the ease with which you prove it; and in the depth of your arrogance, you are frankly pitiful. You went to implant democracy in Iraq, and the Iraqis kicked your ass. You went to do the same thing in Libya, then in Syria, and you experienced the same result. In Ukraine, you are afraid of confronting Vladimir Putin. You’re scared like a little child, and you’re not embarrassed to say it. When I was a kid, I was made to believe that you were capable of anything. I was watching the Rambo movies, and like Santa Claus, people who grow mentally eventually realize that it’s all a hoax. If it is difficult to find a cap for the sad, your caps can be found in all the trash cans around the world. However, small people, individuals devoid of any self-esteem, brainless people like Ariel Henry and his associates, do not hesitate to collaborate with you to try to demean this great people who offered freedom to this world chained by myopia of your trash supremacy.

Mr Stromayer, we are neither globalists nor reformists. We are the descendants of Charlemagne Péralte and Benoit Batraville whom your soldiers assassinated for the cause of Haiti’s freedom. We are disinherited daughters and sons of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Henri Christophe, François Cappoix, Magloire Ambroise, Yayou, and so on. In a word, we are Haitians. Women and men born free thanks to the blood of our ancestors who had flowed to leave us this land. And we swear to remain so throughout our existence as a people. We are daughters and sons of these heroes who reestablished the humanity that you spend your life destroying. I will spare you, this time, certain words from my vocabulary which would better express the depth of my thoughts in relation to your condescension and your deviations towards my people. I strongly encourage you next time to be careful with your words, because even if I am no more, there will always be a Haitian to bring you back to order.

Finally, if you are truly strong, it is not on the Haitian people that you must exert your strength. Go prove your superiority by competing against Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.

With my courtesy,

Wilner Predelus, PhD
