"Character Assassination of President Aristide
by Ben Dupuy
excerpted from the book
War, Lies & Videotape
International Action Center, 2000
p65
Haiti, it is well-known, is the only country in world history
which carried out a successful slave revolution. It began in 1791,
on the heels of the French Revolution. The man who led the slave
armies through most of our 1 3-year liberation war was a former
slave named Toussaint Louverture.
While much can be said about his military genius, Toussaint
was above all a master in the art of what we might call "

One modern figure who has deeply studied and borrowed from
Toussaint's tactics is Jean-Bertrand Aristide. Just as Toussaint

against the French, then sometimes working with them, Aristide

in this century: the United States.
The debate about the viability or correctness of using Toussaint's
tactics in the 20th century can be left for another time. But
one thing is certain: President Aristide has fallen in and out
of favor with leading sectors of the U.S. ruling class and government
on several occasions, offering a very revealing case study of
how the mainstream corporate media has alternately demonized or
glorified him as a leader, not on the basis of his support from
or attachment to the masses, but according to his professed attitude
toward U.S. business interests and U.S. government dictates.
Let us briefly review a little history.
First we must recall that Jean-Bertrand Aristide emerged in
Haiti as a liberation theologian with an anti-imperialist message.
" Capitalism is a mortal sin" was on"
