I can't say it is "good" to read your piece, but it is really useful to gain perspective on world events other than from our country's media. Thank you.

Thank you, sir. This is my first time commenting on one of your columns, but certainly not the first time to read. "Understand what's going on." I am never pleased when I read your revelations . . . but knowledge is not supposed to be pleasant, amusing or diverting. All I can say is, "Not in my name."

At least you´re interested :)

the best thing you can do is to care for yourself.

The tax payers money should be spent on investments in America for Americans

(infrastructure, energy, healthcare....).

KLA, a murderous gang and CIA-puppet, is outsourced to wreck another country by U.S. government agencies! I am shocked but not surprised.

This is a very important article. KLA, Kosovo, the atrocities committed in Yugoslavia against Serbs, the defunct U.S. colony of Kosovo - all these issues are hushed up in MSM. It was so liberating to read in clear and unapologising language what only circulates in hints and half-truths.

What happened in the Balkans in the 90s is not over and can flare up at any time and Europeans should have a clear understanding what KLA is about and who is pulling its strings and what a crime Clinton's war in the Balkans was

So utterly disgusting what we, the global populace, look away from and enable the Brits and Americans to get away with!

The long & never ending calvary of Haiti charged with the unforgivable crime against imperialism: the creation of the only real democracy in the western hemisphere...doubly criminal as it was perpetrated by black rebellious slaves...an existential threat to white supremacist capitalism...Toussaint L'Ouverture...The one who opens the way...And let us not forget the genocide of the original inhabitants by Columbus starting in 1492, the original template of what is now the American empire...from pyre to pyre...to ashes soon?

"In September 2004, USAID’s Office of Transition Initiatives, which avowedly “advances US foreign policy interests…by seizing emerging windows of opportunity ” - in other words, oversees regime change - deployed Kosovo Liberation Army veterans to Port-au-Prince"

Excellent article. Since USAID has been under attack by Trump, a number of sources I once trusted have come out to defend that agency as a benign provider of critical medical and food aid. Articles like this are needed to counter this Imperialist lie. USAID is, was and will always be an arm of US imperialism and it's coup making and social destruction abroad. Defending it is like defending a criminal organization that opens a soup kitchen after violently destroying a once functional society. Oh, but the soup kitchens!

Great article, thank you! If USAID is placed under the Department of State, it will inevitably be seen as an arm of the CIA, putting its staff and contractors in even greater danger. Under the current Trump administration, it’s becoming all too clear that U.S. domination is accelerating, like a monstrous force fueled by steroids. Yet, as this empire teeters on the brink of collapse, millions will suffer—and many will die—before it all comes crashing down.

Thank you for shedding some light on this particular even that honestly is so recent it doesn't even count as history, it's still current events. As you point out, it directly ties into what's going on right now in Haiti.

Washington has been toying with Haiti since 1914 when they invaded and occupied the nation. I actually wrote about the history of Haiti here! https://criticalresist.substack.com/p/haiti-the-first-free-nation-part (this is part 2 which talks about the modern day, part 1 is the pre-20th c. history of Haiti). The slave revolt was so influential it even inspired revolts in the US.

There are no words to describe the depth of my disgust at the USAID evil actions after reading this excellent article.

I think the race card is overplayed. With the exception of Haiti where it appears underplayed. Why can’t these people be left alone? I have just started reading about the historic slave rebellions. I think there is a British connection, but I have not made up my mind yet. Interesting and rather sad piece. Thank you.

It's SOP for the Outlaw US Empire to promote Fascism abroad since it was the nation that saved Nazism from extinction at WW2's end. Other nations in the Western Hemisphere have undergone similar aggression by the Outlaw Empire. Fortunately, several strong Pro-People leaders have emerged in several key nations and are uniting to repel the Empire's hegemony. We'll soon see how the defeat of the Empire by Russia affects its further thirst for overseas actions.

I didn't know that. I now have the same feeling as when I learned that Donbass had been bombed every day since 2014 and the media never said a word. Thank you Kit, really. The more disillusioned the better!

Haiti is one part of the world that is certainly under-reported. It's not hard to see why--there's just no possible way to spin this gruesomeness into something that can even be remotely justified. Good post.
