Will We Be Awarded As The Most Innovative Coup Style Creators?

After the “Kidnapping Coup” would we invent the brand new breakthrough “Quake Coup”?

That is what seems as Haiti & “Friends” begin to talk and think in elections and maybe a new constitution and moreover… why not a new Prime Minister and, to have it all done, a whole new entire Government?

All that just after losing some 2% of its brave people, having more some 5% unabridged and in eminent peril, just after losing far more than 50% of its yet scarce wealth and resources and patrimony, and just before the pouring rains season, followed by the floods season, and finally by the hurricanes season.

It is really a great idea!!! It would be ridiculous if it was not deeply and criminally serious.

It remembers me the joke in which the husband, as coming home earlier and finding his wife in some “not-so-catholic-positions” with his best friend on the sofa, promptly takes a tough decision: he sells the sofa!

It is not time to think in legislative elections, constitutional changes and so on.

H. E. Mr. Préval and (possibly) H. E. Mr. Bellerive mandates go until Feb 2011.

By other hand, the planned legislative elections should wait as the Country now is in full State of Emergency, War and worst.

There is only one focus to pursue: REBIRTH.

And rethink, together, to rebuild better as both leaders have been stressing.

Any other issue now is waste of time, effort or – the worst – underground hidden agendas.

And maybe we got to the point.

Much of the people talking about elections now are well intentioned.

But those that pushed the issues were triggered by the ‘inconvenient’ behaviors of His Excellences the Democratic Leaders of Haiti.

‘Inconvenient’ behaviors as expressed in the ambitious Haiti Government Reconstruction Plan or in H. E. Mr. Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive words:

“The key question for us is to know what is happening on our territory… What matters to government is that we know who is in the country, what you are bringing, and that you coordinate with the Haitian state… Coordination means better information”

On the opposite hand of what the Big Media is saying, I think they are counter proofing one of the most established laws of science: energy propagates in vacuum!

That is because, in my humble opinion, they are shining.

And they are pulling their light from absolute nothing.

Or better, they are pulling their light from the Ayisians’ unbeatable Resilience.

The Ayisians’ Pride that always triggered the outsiders’ love or prejudice.

Pride & Prejudice. If Jane Austen did not come first this would be the title of a book subtitled Haiti.

It would be reasonable to say that both authorities could be more present walking around the country.

But it is also reasonable to say that there is an unmanageable helpers crowd of outsiders inside the Country and, as paradigmatically that it seems, the only way to manage them is from outside.

Otherwise, is from outside that the solutions and – as important as – the avoidance of possible emergent no-return problems can be achieved.

And, finally, not even the missing third statesman, the former priest one, got the gift of the omnipresence.

By other hand, with no Palace, with no home, with almost no staff, I could hear Mr. Préval radio message to the population (even probably "with no radio to be listened") less than 15 hours after the quake, after what with his shy and smooth manner he begun to, yes, take action from meetings under the trees by the streets yet before the "New Palace" was set at the small remaining Police Station.

Instead of what have been said about the Excellences, it is - for me - really impressive how they are behaving - and playing the hurting but necessary games - with the highest stature statesmen style, having to carry a hat on one hand but managing to keep on the other the torch of Liberty and Dignity.

How they are intelligently striving to trail the tortuous roads of multilateralism that leads to Independence.

And how they are envisioning the need for the foundation of a whole renewed Nation, with the cleansing of the most obscure, ‘untouchable’ and hidden historical problems as the internal elites segregationists, the peasants exclusionism and the external dominance and ruling, amongst others.

But with no bloody revolutions: just the ones that Earth herself sadly arranged.

I can see it in their eyes, in what they say, and mainly in what they do not say.

Both in the ‘supershy’ Statesman and in the ‘smileless’ Statesman silences.

And if I can see it, the vultures also do as so.

And both me and the vultures understand that the third, the ‘holly’ statesman is missing, banned, in Pretoria, South Africa, and will be claimed to come in by the advent of elections.

And there will be the chaos.

And there will be more reasons to show how Haiti is ‘acephalous’, and violent, and how “they need our generous leadership”.

But for those that say that Haiti needs some external governance I will repeat one thousand times if needed: it is what have been done since 1915 and before, and this – not the earthquake – is what lead Haiti to the situation she is living right now.

And for those that say that Haiti’s Government is corrupt I will repeat one thousand times if needed: the external ruled past marionettes dictators have a long corruption roll.

But about the last democratic elected Governments of Haiti, do me a favor, give them a chance of showing some corruption, let them manage some money!

Because they cannot be corrupt without money.

And almost all the money that comes in Haiti comes from outside to outsiders private or philanthropic institutions.

Or from the Haitian Diaspora to their own families.

For those that think that Haiti is a failed state and has no chance I will just ask to believe.

Haiti changed the world once.

She will be capable of changing herself now.

Haiti is a really magic, paradigmatic and surprisingly Country.

She will surprise us.

And I hope that we, the World, will also surprise Haiti for good as so.

I envision the day when that small Police Station close to the Toussaint Louverture Airport will become one of the smallest greatest monuments of the World.

By its meaning as a symbol that the Human Kind can resurrect through the beliefs of Liberté, Egalité, Fraternité, and that L’Union Fait La Force as The Ebony Phoenix showed us once and will show twice.
