And ended up in the hands of thugs who then crossed the border into Haiti and ousted the Priest the People of Haiti had just elected as their President in the first CIA coup to be covered in real time by the Internet.

I was posting that story as it unfolded over at the Mike Malloy message board. It was incredible to see how much detail emerged day by day which I passed on. There was a Right Wingnut at the time denying there were M16s right up until I posted pictures of the thugs celebrating with a parade and brandishing their 'fresh out of the box' M16s.

That'll teach the people for daring to elect someone who raises the minimum wage, builds schools and provides health care....

The so called "liberal media" in this country called it a "popular uprising". Yeah,....popular uprisings often involve people being dragged out of their home and shot in the street and their bodies ordered to remain there to rot as a warning to others.

It was covered here as well eight years ago.
