Here's the TL;DW version.



At least the place was cleaner when Papa Doc was still around.

Look at the history of Haiti

It was a literal Paradise, it was one of the most robust, prosperous nations in the Western hemisphere

They imported slaves to keep up on the demand.

They attempted to self govern and were threatened militarily then laid low economically by the French

The Communists then the Clinton Foundation finally destroyed any agriculture and turned into a land of gangs, drugs, violence and human and child trafficking

I used to believe that too.

The French forced Haiti to redirect their economy to making gigantic annual payments to France - or else

“DELICATE AND EMBARRASSING”U.S. LOANS TO SUPPRESS HAITIAN INDEPENDENCE

This paper describes George Washington's administration response to a plea for emergency war financing from French colonists who were trying to quash a slave rebellion in Haiti (then Saint Domingue). Washington bypassed Congress and authorized assistance to the French planters, hoping that France would recognize and repay the resulting debt to the United State

Jefferson also ambivalent but being a slaver owner assisted in keeping down the revolt. Adams supported Haiti independence

Haiti declared their independence from France in 1805. In 1825 France insisted- at gunpoint— that Haiti pay 125MM (?) Francs

Haiti never fully recovered from French extortion.
