The Clintons Do Haiti: Keep the Natives From Breeding
by Jeffrey St. Clair - Alexander Cockburn
Cut through all of Hillary Clintons reassuring lingo about empowering women and consider the realities of Clintonian population policy in Haiti.
As revealed in an internal U.S. Agency for International Development report, the fundamental goal of the American government is to keep the natives from breeding.
The June, 1993, document (unearthed by Ken Silverstein in CounterPunch) states policy targets for Haiti baldly: to obtain 200,000 new acceptors of contraception; a social marketing component target of 6,000 cycles of pills/month, and the establishment of 23 facilities to provide sterilizationssoothingly referred to as voluntary surgical contraception, a goal that has been exceeded.
There is no mention of any targets with regard to womens health.
