Berenice Reynaud has sent you a story from Democracy Now!, a daily independent radio and TV news program:

Journalist and author Naomi Klein spoke in New York last night and addressed the crisis in Haiti: “We have to be absolutely clear that this tragedy—which is part natural, part unnatural—must, under no circumstances, be used to, one, further indebt Haiti and, two, to push through unpopular corporatist policies in the interest of our corporations. This is not conspiracy theory. They have done it again and again.” [includes rush transcript]

The person who sent you the story added the following comments:
Chere Elsie: Democracy Now est une emission de radio de gauche -- quelque=chose de rare et de necessaire dans le paysage americain. Une des choses qui nous tracasse ici c'est 1/ de faire de donations a des organisations qui vont vraiment aider les gens de Haiti, et pas piquer l'argent (j'ai choisi Medecins Sans Frontiere) 2/ Comme Naomi Klein, que les pouvoirs imperialistes n'en profitent pas pour remettre la main sur Haiti. Je sais que le gouvernement francais porte une lourde part de responsabilite dans l'apauvrissement d'Haiti, donc si cet article pouvait t'aider, je te l'envoie. Si c'est superflu, ou si tu n'as pas le temps, jette-le a la poubelle. Je pense bien a toi, a vous tous. Bises, Berenice
