Psychological Warfare

"Many of the whites who remained in Saint-Domingue now openly disavowed all allegiance to France and asked for intervention by English troops. When English soldiers landed in the ports of the island, they were welcomed as liberators by the white population. From San Domingo, too, Spanish troops poured across the border into the colony."

"The San Domingan revolution is a minor episode at best, now, in the cavalcade of American history. It has been consigned to insignificance because it does not serve that saga well. But that revolution, and the American reaction to it, was not insignificant at all in their own time, or for decades after. In their practical effects, they altered irrevocably the pattern of American commerce and the direction of American development.

Controlled and paid groups are organized to created governmental and social instability... Victims...

Psychological warfare such as the introduction of AIDS into Haitian Society has been the most devastating of all weapons used against Haitians. In early 1980's, the United States Centers for Disease Control (CDC) introduced a fresh label for Haitians: “Aids Carriers”. The CDC had then classified Haitians as a high-risk group for AIDS. Because US scientists failed to identified (or intentionally targeted Haitians) the origin of the devastating AIDS virus and, because US media did an excellent job publicizing it, Haitians have been severely victimized. Pressured by different local and international organizations, the high-risk classification was dropped in 1985. Nevertheless, Haitians become the victims of AIDS hysteria and life has never been the same, since. Victims...

July 1981 Dr Curran of the CDC reported that "there was no apparent danger to non homosexuals from contagion. 'The best evidence against contagion', he said, 'is that no cases have been reported to date outside the homosexual community or in women'" - The New York Times-. Nevertheless, Haitians had been targeted.
