 In a scene reminiscent of Hurricane Katrina, scientists warned that
Haiti was heading toward a major earthquake, yet nothing was done to
prepare the country for such a disaster, writes Steve Lendman of the
Global Research Institute. Read the full story at his blog.
Meanwhile, Naomi Klein has issued a 'shock doctrine alert for Haiti. "Readers of the The Shock Doctrine know that the Heritage Foundation has been one of the leading advocates of exploiting disasters to push through their unpopular pro-corporate policies. From this document,
they're at it again, not even waiting one day to use the devastating
earthquake in Haiti to push for their so-called reforms," she writes. Visit her blog to read more.
ONE Organization has lauched global petition to drop Haiti's foreign debt as a vital step toward recovery. If you are wondering how to donate, the Canada-Haiti Action Network has posted recommended support organizations on its website.
