It was not Haiti per se, who agreed to pay reparations to France for the Haitian Revolution. It was the sons of the French men, his mulatto sons, who agreed to pay the reparations and compensation for the Haitian Revolution. The Haitians in the Northern Kingdom of Haiti, the Africans in the Northern Kingdom of Haiti, adamantly refused to pay any reparations to the French. It was the sons of the French men, the mulattos in the South of Haiti, who paid the reparations to France after the Northern Kingdom of Haiti fell, after Emperor King, Henry Christophe died.

It is so unfortunate that that this type of important information and discussion is only being held at the highest of educational institutions and circles and only for those who can afford it and also being spoken in a foreign language for the only few who can speak it well and understand it.

“In the weeks before the election in Ghana, the United States warned that any Ghanaian politician behaving badly and undermining Ghana’s democracy would be denied visas. Shockingly the media in Ghana, and its public intellectuals, celebrated this blatantly racist declaration against Ghana and Ghanaian people.”
The United States owns and controls Ghana.
The United States owns and controls the politicians and government officials in Ghana.
The United States controls the political process in Ghana.
The United States owns and control Ghana media outlets and the dissemination of information to the masses of Ghanian people.
The United States owns and controls a military base in Ghana.
I have been saying for years that Ghanaian politicians have sold Ghana to the United States. And that The United States owns and controls Ghana, but everyone in my circle thinks I am crazy.

“When I am in Ghana, the only thing that is on the TV is CNN, MSNBC, BBC, Voice of America (a United States-CIA funded news agency). So we get our information from those who construct and manufacture the narratives.”
Now I know why the majority of the audience were so pro-western in their thinking for their questions and statements about the crisis going on in Haiti. And this is coming from the African Studies Department from the so-called premier university in Ghana, The University of Ghana in East Legon.

I noticed that the during the question and answer portion of this presentation, the questions and statements that the audience were asking, were coming from a very western minded viewpoint when it comes to Haiti (and Africa as a whole), and these questions and statements were coming from PhD professors and PhD students in African Studies. This let you know the types of curriculum that is being taught in African Studies and the types of “African” professors that are roaming around at the African Studies Department at the University of Ghana, East Legon.
