  • I just astounds me reading other posts that show sheeple in US scream that the US would never cause an earthquake, would never do other sinister things to people, whether in our own nation or not. It also makes me angry that independent web sites and others refuse to blast this all over the world. The US government HAS NO HEART! And people will not open their eyes to what is being done to others.
  • Yes, the u.s. military needs to control the relief efforts in Haiti so they can continue the process of turning Haiti into a sweatshop nation of slave laborers. It's the only way the u.s. can compete with China and India.
  • I don't agree that the UN should have taken over the Haiti earthquake fiasco, especial- ly in view that they came in and kicked out other doctors and emergency aid, especially when those doctors and their personnel might have had the equipment to help bring out those buried under the rubble and operate on them in time. Also, there is something not right about all the pile-up of supplies at the airport and their not getting these supplies (especially food and water) out sooner to the survivors. I can't bear to hear the screams of those in excruciating pain, trapped under the rubble, or see pictures of mothers crying their hearts out over the loss of their children or friends or other family members. Oh, the hopelessness and horror of it all! Ezekiel 3 v.17-21 and Ezekiel 33 v.7-11 states we are to warn the wicked and those who have turned to wickedness to turn from their evil ways, or they will surely die. And that if we don't warn them, we will die right along with them. Who told the UN they had the right to take it all over? The way it is, it all just doesn't set right with me. The Haitians need all the help they can get, and the UN can't possibly do it all.
