devastated Haiti. However, according to Vive Tv,
the allegation originated with the Russian armed

the current showdown between Google and the

hypocrisy considering that Google is part of a

blame for Haiti’s tragedy. Haiti was born of
slavery and revolution, declaring independence
from France on 1 January 1804. In exchange for
diplomatic recognition, France forced the new
republic to pay enormous reparations. Ever since,
Haiti has been trapped in a spiral of crippling
debt, exploitation, corruption, violence and
destitution. Decades of US occupations and
policies, combined with strangling IMF-World Bank
diktats and horribly one-sided "free trade" deals,
have brought Haiti completely to its knees.

days after the failed Copenhagen Global Warming
Summit, yet a new scandal over the scientific
accuracy of the UN IPCC 2007 climate report has
emerged. Following the major data-manipulation
scandals from the UN-tied research center at
Britain’s East Anglia University late 2009, the
