Kim Ives & Dan Coughlin on WikiLeaks Cables that Reveal "Secret History" of US Bullying in Haiti

DemocracyNow.org - The Nation magazine, in partnership with the Haitian weekly newspaper, Haïti Liberté, has launched a series of reports based on more than 19000 classified US diplomatic cables released by WikiLeaks. Democracy Now! interviews the report authors, Kim Ives and Dan Coughlin, both longtime Haiti correspondents. Called "The PetroCaribe Files," the series begins with an exposé of how the United States—with pressure from Exxon and Chevron—tried to interfere with an oil agreement between Haiti and Venezuela that would save Haiti, the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere, $100 million per year. "It is really amazing to see an ambassador pushing around a president, and all his officials telling them what to do, trying to tell them what Haiti's interests are. It is the epitome of arrogance," says Ives. For the podcast, transcripts and for Democracy Now!'s vast news archive on reports about Haiti, visit www.democracynow.org FOLLOW DEMOCRACY NOW!

Kim Ives on His Report, "WikiLeaks Haiti: The Aristide Files" (Democracy Now!)

DemocracyNow.org - A new exposé on Haiti reveals how the United States led a vast international campaign to prevent former Haitian President Jean-Bertrand Aristide from returning to his country while he was exiled in South Africa. It's part of a series of reports by The Nation magazine and the Haitian weekly Haïti Liberté that draw from almost 2000 US diplomatic cables on Haiti released by WikiLeaks. The cables show that high-level US and UN officials coordinated a politically motivated prosecution of Aristide to prevent him from "gaining more traction with the Haitian population and returning to Haiti." The United States and its allies allegedly poured tens of millions of dollars into unsuccessful efforts to slander Aristide as a drug trafficker, human rights violator, and heretical practitioner of voodoo. Another recent exposé based on the cables details how Haiti's unelected de facto authorities worked alongside foreign officials to integrate at least 400 ex-army paramilitaries into the country's police force throughout 2004 and 2005. The WikiLeaks cables reveal just how closely Washington and the United Nations oversaw the formation of Haiti's new police force and signed off on the integration of paramilitaries who had previously targeted Haiti's poor majority and democratically elected governments. Democracy Now! interviews Haïti Liberté editor Kim Ives, whose latest article for TheNation.com is "WikiLeaks Haiti: The Aristide Files." For the complete transcript, to ...

Haiti Liberté's Kim Ives on Al Jazeera: How foreign companies are profiting from TELECO's gutting

I recently did this interview with Al Jazeera about cell phone giant Digicel, which now dominates telecommunications in Haiti because Washington and its agencies sabotaged, pilloried and sank the state phone company TELECO. You can chuckle at how I'm flustered when my earpiece POPS OUT at the beginning of the interview. Exactly NOT what you want to happen on live international television....

Amy and Kim discuss how centuries of Western domination of Haiti has worsened the impact of the devastating earthquake, from the harsh reaction to Haitis independence as a republic of free slaves in 1804 to the US-backed overthrow of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide in 2004. Ives says, This quake was precipitated by a political earthquake—with an epicenter in Washington, DC. Check out our radio show The Authority Smashing!
