Le mensonge de l’ONU vient de s’effondrer en une semaine sur Haïti. Pendant 30 ans, l’ONU et la « communauté internationale » ont multiplié les résolutions, les missions (MINUSTAH, MSS, GSF), les rapports, les expertises et les mandats limités. Résultat : les gangs contrôlent 80-90 % de Port-au-Prince, des milliers de morts par an, plus d’un million de déplacés, un État fantôme. La Force de Suppression des Gangs, autorisée par le Conseil de sécurité, a mis plus d’un an à déployer environ 1 500 hommes avec un impact dérisoire. Les gangs ont même réussi à tendre une embuscade à des techniciens salvadoriens sous mandat ONU. Bukele arrive. En une dizaine de jours, il déploie plus de 2 000 soldats salvadoriens davantage que toute la force ONU, hors du carcan bureaucratique et des chaînes de commandement multilatérales. Pas de six mois de négociations, pas de rapports de 200 pages, pas de « respect des droits des gangs ». Juste des soldats, des blindés, des hélicoptères, et une volonté claire. Et soudain, les gangs se cachent. Les habitants sortent dans la rue, crient, célèbrent. Le mot d’ordre est simple : « Se débloque le pays ». Les chefs de gangs appellent l’ONU pour « dialoguer » et demander la médiation. La panique s’installe chez ceux qui terrorisaient le pays depuis des années. Ce n’est pas un miracle. C’est la démonstration que le problème n’a jamais été « trop complexe pour être résolu ». Le problème, c’était le dogme : que seule l’approche multilatérale molle, procédurale, obsédée par les « droits humains » des criminels, pouvait être légitime. Que la souveraineté, la force décisive et les résultats concrets étaient suspects. Bukele a déjà prouvé chez lui qu’on pouvait casser les gangs. Il vient de le montrer en Haïti en une semaine, pendant que l’ONU en parlait depuis trois décennies. Les Haïtiens dans la rue l’ont compris plus vite que les experts de New York et de Genève. La question n’est plus « comment faire ? ». Elle est : combien de temps encore allons-nous prétendre que les processus internationaux qui perpétuent le chaos sont la seule solution possible ? A bon entendeur.

History will remember two men as the ones who exposed the empire of lies: Javier Milei and Nayib Bukele. For decades, the same class of experts, NGOs, think tanks and international institutions told us two things were impossible. That you could kill inflation without destroying a country. That you could kill violent crime without "addressing root causes" for another 30 years. Milei took the first one. Argentina, December 2023: inflation over 200% a year, 25% in a single month. A central bank printing money to fund a state that had become a vote-buying machine. Every economist on TV predicted a social explosion if anyone touched it. He cut the number of ministries in half. He balanced the budget in his first year. Monthly inflation went from 25% to under 2%. Poverty, which peaked at 52.9% right after the devaluation, fell to 28%, the lowest since 2018. It's not a straight line, poverty ticked back up this year, and he says so himself. But the point is proven: the "impossible" was possible all along. The lesson is brutal. Endless money printing was never a technocratic necessity. It was a hidden tax on the poor, quietly paying for the people who designed the system and lived off it. Bukele took the second one. El Salvador, 2015: 106 homicides per 100,000 people. The most violent country on earth outside a war zone. Gangs ran neighborhoods, taxed every bus driver and every street vendor, and decided who lived and who died. El Salvador, 2025: 1.3 per 100,000. Lower than the United States. Every international expert said it couldn't be done. The NGOs called it barbaric. Salvadorans re-elected him with over 80% of the vote, because they're the ones who used to bury their kids. And now his helicopters are in Haiti, pulling his own soldiers out of gang territory, telling the gangs: we finished with ours, we can finish with you. So ask yourself the real question. If it was this simple, why didn't anyone do it? Because an entire ecosystem lived off the problem. Inflation funded the state that funded the clients that funded the elections. Crime created fear, and fear created demand for programs, consultants, studies, panels, subsidies and "experts" who never had to deliver a result. In Latin America it was the gangs. In the West it's mass immigration with no integration and crime with no consequences. Different symptom, same business model: the problem is never solved because too many people are paid to manage it. Milei and Bukele didn't just fix two countries. They published the proof. Every politician who still says "it's complicated" now has to explain why a guy with a chainsaw and a guy with a baseball cap did in two years what they couldn't do in forty. Thank you Javier Milei. Thank you Nayib Bukele. The world is going to heal with your solutions. Europe is next. We're waiting.

Caleb Hammer catches a socialist spending at Disney and Amazon after she spent the entire episode dunking on “big evil” CAPITALISTS. She had just argued that corporations don’t pay their fair share. Then he opens her City Card, and it gets ugly for her fast. HAMMER: “Since your Disney trip, you know they’re a billion-dollar company. You know they get lots of tax benefits, right?” SOCIALIST: “Yeah. My sister works for Disney.” HAMMER: “Big evil capitalist Disney. Was that to Disney?” SOCIALIST: “Yes.” HAMMER: “Champagne socialist. As always.” “You know you people are the most hypocritical people. I’d say people on the far right are really annoying. The people on the far left are hyper hyper hypocritical.” “Evil corporations capitalist, and then you just give them all your money.” “And Amazon, weren’t you just hating on that warehouse that delivered that to you?” SOCIALIST: “Yeah.” HAMMER: “It’s a shame they’re able to get there on that two-lane road to your house.” SOCIALIST: “I don’t shop on Amazon very often. But if I do it’s—” HAMMER: “Who cares?” SOCIALIST: “I can’t find it around me.” HAMMER: “No, live your principles. You’re cheap principles. I have no real moral backing other than performative and virtue signaling.” Socialism in the mouth, capitalism in the cart.

Piers Morgan CONFRONTS a vegan climate activist Orla Coghlan over almonds and avocados, accusing him of hypocrisy: “You don’t care about bees being murdered. You’re killing billions of bees and destroying the planet, yet you preach about saving animals!” His final response? “I’m certainly allowed to eat meat when someone kills bees to feed their avocado habit!” Piers Morgan: Do you eat almonds? Do you drink almond milk? Orla Coghlan: I’m here to talk about the climate crisis. Piers Morgan: Do you eat avocados? Orla Coghlan: I eat a plant-based diet. Piers Morgan: Do you eat avocados? Orla Coghlan: Yes. Piers Morgan: Great. A leading study says billions of bees are slaughtered so that you can have your almonds and avocados. Why don’t you care about the little guys? Orla Coghlan: Can I say that there— Piers Morgan: It’s total hypocrisy, isn’t it? You don’t care about bees being murdered. Orla Coghlan: Will you let me speak? I’ve been brought on the show to answer your questions. Piers Morgan: I think you’re a hypocrite, like a lot of vegans I’ve met. You don’t seem to realize that your almonds and avocados involve the slaughter of billions of bees. Piers Morgan: You believe in the climate crisis? Orla Coghlan: Yes. Piers Morgan: Animal agriculture, farming and fishing are leading causes of the climate crisis. But you know what’s also damaging? Planes carrying your avocados and almonds from California thousands of miles to your vegan cafes. You’re killing billions of bees and destroying the planet, yet you sit here preaching about saving animals and the environment! Orla Coghlan: I hear that you’re very frustrated. I would really like to respond. Piers Morgan: Go on, then. Orla Coghlan: A leading study from Oxford, the most comprehensive study on food and climate ever done, says animal products farming animals and fishing are the leading cause. Piers Morgan: Is a bee an animal? Orla Coghlan: I’m not finished. It surpasses— Piers Morgan: Is a bee an animal? Orla Coghlan: Piers, can I— Piers Morgan: Of course a bee is an animal! If a bee’s an animal, why are you slaughtering them? Orla Coghlan: Both almonds and avocados are less damaging to the planet— Piers Morgan: Oh, they are less damaging! And what about how they get from California? What about the trucks across Europe? Piers Morgan: I’m starving, and you’re not going to persuade me. My response to you destroying all these things is to have a Big Mac. It’s a free country, it’s a democracy. I’m allowed to eat meat, and I’m certainly allowed to eat meat when someone who kills bees to feed their avocado habit lectures me!

Miller terrifying. It’s not rhetoric. It’s administrative suffocation. In his first term, Miller learned that you don’t need Congress to destroy an enemy program. You just need to redefine the terms. Look at what he did with the "Public Charge" rule. He didn’t pass a law saying "no immigrants." He changed the definition of who constitutes a burden on the state. Suddenly, if you used food stamps, you were inadmissible. The legal challenge took years. By the time the courts sorted it out, the policy had already chilled millions of applications. The bureaucracy itself became the border wall. Now? He’s got Russ Vought at OMB. Do you understand the synergy here? It’s lethal. Miller writes the executive order that redefines "national security threat" to include any NGO that receives foreign funding (looking at you, Open Society Foundations). Vought then zeroes out the budget for any agency that refuses to enforce that definition. It’s a pincer movement. Miller provides the legal cover; Vought provides the financial starvation. The Democrats are screaming about "rule of law." Miller is laughing. He is the rule of law. He just reads it differently. He reads it as a weapon, not a shield. Miller understands that the modern globalist project relies on labor arbitrage. They import cheap labor to suppress wages, which keeps inflation low enough to service the massive debt bubble, which keeps the stock market high, which keeps the donors happy. It’s a closed loop. Miller’s goal? Break the loop. By shutting down illegal immigration and slashing legal H-1B visas, he forces companies to pay American wages. This causes short-term inflation. The Fed panics. The stock market dips. The NYT writes op-eds about "economic disaster." Miller doesn’t care. Why? Because he knows that Judy Shelton and the Treasury team are preparing a monetary reset (the Gold/ESF play we discussed). They want the dollar to weaken slightly against hard assets. They want the stock market to correct so they can buy back equity at lower prices for the sovereign wealth funds. Miller is the wrecking ball that clears the site for the new construction. The Democrats are terrified because they see the wrecking ball and think it’s destruction. Miller knows it’s renovation. The Left fights with morality. They say, "This is wrong." "This is cruel." "This is un-American." Miller fights with mechanics. He says, "This is statutory." "This is regulatory." "This is funded." You cannot argue morality against a spreadsheet. You cannot shame a regulation. You cannot protest a budget line item. When Miller issues an order to deport every non-citizen with a final removal order, the Left will scream "Racist!" Miller will respond with, "Section 235(b)(1) of the INA mandates expedited removal for individuals who cannot prove credible fear. We are enforcing the law." That’s what scares them. He’s not breaking the law. He’s using their own laws against them. He’s using the Administrative Procedure Act, the Immigration and Nationality Act, the Posse Comitatus Act (reinterpreted via Insurrection Act precedents) he’s using the entire weight of the federal code to crush their ideological preferences. They can’t call him a fascist because he’s quoting statutes. They can’t call him a dictator because he’s following procedure. They can’t call him evil because he’s efficient.

Stephen Miller was born for the Chief of Staff role. This is genuinely one of the greatest interviews I've ever watched in my life. CNN’s Jake Tapper came in with a “gotcha” question on illegal immigration, and Miller didn’t flinch and even offered to stay 30 MINUTES to walk Tapper through it. Tapper: How are you going to avoid deporting illegal immigrants working in agriculture? Miller: “Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture. The top destinations for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles...” Tapper: “You’re kinda changing this subject.” Miller: “Give me 30 minutes, I’ll go as deep as you want!”

A lion opens a zebra at the belly and eats the stomach, liver and intestines while the hindquarters are still warm and untouched beside it. A leopard drags a kill up a tree with its teeth, and the first thing it takes in the branches is the innards. A pack of wild dogs tears the belly open on the run and the organs are gone before the animal has stopped kicking. A house cat brings a mouse in and eats the head. The brain, the eyes, the fat behind them. The body is left on the mat as a gift. A raven lands on a dead sheep and takes the eyes and the tongue, the two softest, fattiest things on the carcass, and leaves the rest to whatever comes after it. A golden eagle on a hare goes straight through to the heart and liver and leaves the back legs for the fox. A tiger starts at the rump and works into the body cavity, and a wolf pack opens the chest for the heart and lungs before anybody touches a ham. A Greenland shark is pulled up with a stomach full of seal blubber and not a shred of seal muscle. Across every ocean and continent the first mouthful goes to the fat, the organs and the marrow, and none of them learnt it from anybody. Then there is you, with a stomach as acid as a vulture's, a gallbladder sitting primed under your liver, and two million years of ancestors who walked miles to a carcass for the parts nothing else could open. You order the turkey breast. You pay extra for the mince with the fat taken out. You lift the skin off the salmon with a fork and push it to the side of the plate like a bone. You carve the fat off a sirloin with the care of a man defusing a bomb, then leave it on the rim for the waiter. You drain the dripping off the roast and down the sink, and the Sunday fat goes to the drains instead of the family. Then you buy collagen powder, fish oil capsules and a vitamin A tablet to put back a fraction of what you just scraped into the bin. Every creature on that list, shown your plate, would assume a bigger animal had eaten first.

🇺🇸🇫🇷🇬🇧 An American pilot gave a French boy his tiny escape compass. Nearly sixty years later, that boy handed it to the family of the man who never came home. On June 10, 1944, four days after D-Day, Second Lieutenant Lincoln Bundy’s war came crashing down over Normandy. The 26-year-old pilot from the 486th Fighter Squadron, 352nd Fighter Group, had been strafing German vehicles when his P-51 Mustang was shot down by a Messerschmitt 109. He bailed out and survived. French civilians helped shelter him. Then he started south. His plan was to reach Spain and eventually return to Britain. Wearing civilian clothes, carrying a silk map and a tiny escape compass, he traveled by night and hid during the day. Near Poitiers, Serge Guillon, a French boy of about fifteen, found him filling his water bottle at an animal trough. Serge’s father, Raphaël, belonged to the Resistance. He offered Bundy another possibility: British SAS commandos were operating behind German lines nearby. On July 1, Raphaël helped take him to a Resistance contact, who guided him to the SAS camp in the forest of Verrières. Before leaving, Lincoln Bundy gave Serge his compass as a keepsake of their meeting and a token of his gratitude. The British soldiers were carrying out Operation Bulbasket, sabotaging German transport routes and helping delay reinforcements bound for Normandy. Their commander, Captain John Tonkin, radioed England to check the American’s identity. After weeks of evasion, Bundy was among Allied servicemen again. But two days later, German troops attacked the camp. Bundy was captured along with SAS soldiers. On July 7, he and thirty SAS prisoners were taken into the forest of Saint-Sauvant and executed by a SS firing squad under Hitler’s notorious Commando Order. Bundy was an airman who had sought refuge with them. He died beside them. Their bodies were concealed in three mass graves. French hunters discovered the burial site in December 1944. The victims were recovered and reburied in the cemetery at Rom. Bundy’s civilian clothing initially led investigators to mistake him for a Frenchman. Later efforts to identify his remains proved inconclusive. A stone eventually bore his name, but with a qualification: "Buried in this or the nearby communal grave". His family still did not know what had happened. Decades later, while researching Bulbasket, British historian Paul McCue contacted the 352nd Fighter Group’s veterans’ association about the American killed alongside the SAS. The association helped trace Bundy’s relatives. In the mid-1990s, they finally learned about his escape, capture, and execution. When members of the family visited France in the summer of 2002, they met Serge. The boy who had found a thirsty American at a trough was now an elderly man. He had kept the compass. Almost sixty years after Bundy placed it in his hands, Serge passed it to the pilot’s family. Lincoln never made it home. But someone had remembered him all those years, and kept something his family could hold. Remember Lincoln Bundy, the thirty SAS soldiers murdered beside him, and the French civilians who helped him.

DSA leader Megan Romer has NO answer when Fox News’s Martha MacCallum asks where the $49 TRILLION for her socialist agenda is coming from. Romer calls the number “made-up.” Then MacCallum what HER number is, and it gets embarrassing fast. MACCALLUM: “That’s $350,000 per household. Cancelling student debt, open borders and amnesty, Medicare for All. How are you going to pay for that?” ROMER: “Yeah, I mean, we understand that the White House, who does not like us very much, managed to come up with some math that made us look bad.” MACCALLUM: “So that’s $47.4 trillion, Medicare for All.” ROMER: “Yeah, it’s a made up number.” MACCALLUM: “You say it’s a made up number, but it was done by economists. Your number versus their number.” So MacCallum throws her a lifeline. MACCALLUM: “What’s your number when you add up everything on that list? What number did you come up with?” ROMER: “There’s no like, one solid number because it depends on what pieces we can build in the meantime.” MACCALLUM: “So just give me a basic number for your wish list.” ROMER: “That number is outrageous.” MACCALLUM: “What’s your number for your wish list?” ROMER: “That number is ridiculous ... I’m not going to give you a solid number. That’s not what I’m here to do.” The number isn’t just coming from White House economists. Cato ran the DSA platform and found that confiscating the entire net worth of the 400 richest Americans, all $6.6 trillion of it, covers about 9% of the bill. Take every dollar of corporate profit on top of that and they’re still $29 trillion short. Romer is more than happy to explain how she’ll take money from the “billionaire class” and hand it to the working class. But ask how much it costs, or how she’ll actually pay for everything, and her entire argument collapses. CONTEXT: The DSA’s own estimate for its billionaire wealth tax is $3.9 trillion over ten years. The agenda costs $49 trillion. Even by their math, the billionaires cover 8 cents of every dollar.

‼️ MAJOR BREAKING: Carney's budget just locked in 750,000 immigration admissions a year. That's more than the entire city of Mississauga. Every year. For 3 years. 380,000 permanent residents a year. 
370,000 new temporary residents a year.
 Plus up to 200,000 temporary residents fast-tracked to permanent status. The Canadian Press reported that Canada could add MORE than 600,000 new permanent residents next year alone. Imagine what this is going to do to our healthcare. Carney told us "immigration is back under control." A MISSISSAUGA A YEAR ISN'T "CONTROL." IT'S A CHOICE.

Bukeles schickt Truppen nach Haiti – Wenn die eigenen Bürger entführt werden, holt man die raus! So agiert ein echter Staatslenker. Am 18. Oktober 2026 gerieten vier salvadorianische Luftfahrttechniker der UN-unterstützten Gang Suppression Force (GSF) in der Gemeinde Croix-des-Bouquets nahe Port-au-Prince in einen Hinterhalt. Ihr gepanzertes Fahrzeug wurde von bewaffneten Banden mit Schusswaffen und Sprengstoff angegriffen, fing Feuer. Die vier Techniker für medizinische Evakuierungen – flohen zu Fuß und verloren den Kontakt. Sie waren von einem Markt oder Supermarkt zurückgekehrt. Bis Anfang November blieben sie vermisst. Präsident Nayib Bukele kündigte daraufhin eine militärische Operation an, um die vier lebend zurückzuholen. Er warnte die Banden in Haitianischem Kreolisch: Was bisher geschah, sei nichts im Vergleich zu dem, was komme, falls die Männer nicht unversehrt freikommen. El Salvador hatte zuvor rund 124 Mann (Piloten und Techniker) in der GSF für nicht-kämpferische Aufgaben. Innerhalb weniger Tage schickte Bukele zunächst Spezialkräfte, dann weitere Kontingente. Bis Ende Oktober standen etwa 2000 salvadorianische Soldaten in Haiti – die größte ausländische Truppenpräsenz seit Jahren, zeitweise größer als die gesamte GSF. Logistische Hilfe kam unter anderem von US-C-130-Transportflugzeugen. El Salvador trägt laut Bukele rund 90 Prozent der Kosten aus eigenem Budget. Am 29. Oktober richtete Bukele eine Botschaft direkt an das haitianische Volk: Es handele sich nicht um eine Operation gegen die Bevölkerung oder eine Invasion. El Salvador sei kein Imperium, habe kein Interesse an Dominanz oder Ressourcen. Das einzige Ziel sei die Rückkehr der vier Techniker und eine Lektion für die Banden, die die Menschen töten und in Angst leben lassen. Haiti und El Salvador hätten ähnliches Leid erfahren; El Salvador sei nach der eigenen Bandenbekämpfung heute das sicherste Land des Kontinents. Nach Missionsende würden die Truppen abziehen. Er bat um Vertrauen und zitierte 2. Chronik 7:14. Die haitianische Interimsregierung unter Premierminister Alix Didier Fils-Aimé koordinierte die Einsätze im Rahmen der GSF. Die GSF selbst war unterbesetzt und hatte seit ihrem Start begrenzte Wirkung gegen die Banden, die große Teile von Port-au-Prince und darüber hinaus kontrollieren. Bukele betonte, die Operation diene der Rettung und der Bekämpfung der Banden, die die Bevölkerung leiden lassen. Ob die Truppen nur die vier suchen oder längerfristig gegen die Banden vorgehen, bleibt offen; Kommandostruktur und Rules of Engagement sind nicht vollständig öffentlich. Die Bevölkerung in Port-au-Prince steht dem Einsatz positiv gegenüber. Die vier Techniker sind Stand Anfang November weiterhin vermisst. Wenn unsere Sonja Nientiet von Terroristen entführt wird und seit acht Jahren als Gefangene und Sklavin in Somalia leben muss, schaut unsere Regierung nur zu. Wenn man vier von Bukeles Technikern entführt, schickt der 2000 Mann und zerschlägt, falls nötig, das gesamte Bandennetz. So macht man das!

Everyone knows how Captain Kim Campbell flew her crippled A-10 Warthog home from Baghdad on steel cables on April 7, 2003. Almost nobody knows what she did twenty-four hours later, or what happened in her exact same squadron seventeen years to the day after her flight. When Campbell touched down in Kuwait with zero hydraulics and over one hundred and fifty shrapnel holes in her tail, engineers inspected aircraft number 81-0987 and realized the frame was twisted beyond repair. Today, that battle-scarred Warthog sits mounted on steel pedestals at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base in North Carolina, pitched upward as if still climbing out of Baghdad. Before sending the jet home, her maintenance crew cut a piece of shredded aluminum skin from the damaged tail and mounted it on a wooden plaque that Campbell still keeps on her wall. Why did she not take a week off after cheating death? The very next morning, on April 8, 2003, an Iraqi surface-to-air missile shot down fellow A-10 pilot Major Jim Meger over Baghdad. Without hesitation, Campbell strapped into a different A-10 and flew right back into the same anti-aircraft fire over Baghdad as a combat search-and-rescue escort to help bring her brother pilot home. She later said simply that the rescue pilots had been ready for her the day before, so she was going to be there for them. Exactly seventeen years later to the calendar day, on April 7, 2020, history repeated itself inside Campbell's old unit, the 75th Fighter Squadron. Captain Taylor Bye was diving her A-10C over Georgia when her thirty-millimeter cannon suffered a catastrophic malfunction. The blast ripped the gun-bay panels off the fuselage, tore the glass cockpit canopy clean off the jet at three hundred and fifty miles per hour, and crippled the landing gear. Instead of ejecting and letting a fourteen-million-dollar aircraft crash, Bye lowered her seat deep inside the twelve-hundred-pound titanium bathtub to shield her face from the howling windblast. Peering barely over the instrument glare shield with no nose wheel and no canopy, she belly-landed the Warthog on its protruding main tires without a scratch, and flew the repaired jet again the following year. An A-10 pilot sums up the machine in five words: I am old, not obsolete.

I am disgusted by the brutal attack on a Canadian Armed Forces member supervising young cadets selling poppies in Hamilton. He stepped in after the cadets were assaulted. He was left with injuries police describe as life-altering. He was helping young Canadians honour those who served. He should have gone home safely to his family. No child should fear violence while selling a poppy. No Canadian should be brutalized for standing up for them. Those responsible for this cowardly attack must face the full consequences of the law. My prayers are with this member, his family, and the young cadets affected by this horrific violence. As Remembrance Day approaches, wear your poppy proudly. Support our veterans. And stand with the Canadians who serve and protect us.

Haïti : les gangs découvrent enfin ce que signifie affronter un État déterminé ! Le 2 novembre 2026 pourrait marquer un tournant dans la guerre contre les gangs qui martyrisent Haïti. Dans la plaine du Cul-de-Sac, aux portes de Port-au-Prince, les forces salvadoriennes et haïtiennes ont engagé une vaste offensive contre les bandes criminelles Chen Mechan, autrement dit "Chien méchant", et 400 Mawozo. Blindés, soldats, unités spécialisées : les forces de sécurité progressent dans des secteurs que les gangs considéraient comme leur propriété. Plusieurs positions sont contestées, et les premiers affrontements auraient fait au moins une dizaine de morts parmi les criminels. Et voilà que les grands seigneurs de la terreur commencent à chercher des interlocuteurs ! Wilson Joseph, chef du gang 400 Mawozo, a écrit à l’ONU pour réclamer une médiation. Cela a été confirmé par l’ONU. C’est extraordinaire ! Ces hommes qui terrorisent les populations, enlèvent, torturent et assassinent voudraient maintenant discuter ! Quand ils avaient des armes face à des civils désarmés, ils se croyaient invincibles. Maintenant que des soldats déterminés avancent vers leurs bastions, ils découvrent soudain les vertus du dialogue ! Non. Il ne peut y avoir aucune impunité pour ces criminels. Les chefs de gangs et leurs complices doivent être poursuivis, arrêtés, jugés et condamnés à des peines à la hauteur de leurs crimes, c’est à dire la réclusion à perpétuité lorsque la loi le permet. Haïti doit reprendre chaque rue, chaque quartier, chaque portion de territoire abandonnée à ces organisations criminelles. Et surtout, ne plus jamais les laisser revenir. Un pays appartient à ses habitants, pas à ceux qui les assassinent. Il est temps que la peur change de camp ! Illustration @grok IA

🚨🚨 I have just been informed by @ReawakenUSA CEO @realjamesowen that he was called by @UMich and asked to have my video of yesterday’s attack removed due to negative blowback on lunatic, Temulun Togochog I’ll repost it every day until she’s expelled and charged.
