Powell – Aristide was indeed heading for South Africa

WARNING: This is Version 1 of my old archive, so Photos will NOT work and many links will NOT work. But you can find articles by searching on the Titles. There is a lot of information in this archive. Use the SEARCH BAR at the top right. Prior to December 2012; I was a pro-Christian type of Conservative. I was unaware of the mass of Jewish lies in history, especially the lies regarding WW2 and Hitler. So in here you will find pro-Jewish and pro-Israel material. I was definitely WRONG about the Boeremag and Janusz Walus. They were for real.

Powell – Aristide was indeed heading for South Africa

[According to Colin Powell, Aristide was indeed heading here, but later the ANC “changed its mind”. I can’t help wondering if this was due to some diplomatic arm-twisting. I would not be surprised. Don’t be fooled – these things go on all the time. I learned that from some my associations with Zimbabwe. The Western world sometimes exerts more power than you think – but it happens very quitely. The key question is who/what changed the ANC’s mind. Don’t be surprised if America is behind this one. Jan]

Washington – American secretary of state Colin Powell said at a media conference on Tuesday that South Africa was former Haitian president Jean-Bertrand Aristide’s original destination.

Powell was reacting to Aristide’s telephonic allegations to American members of congress that American marines had forced him on to an aircraft against his will and taken him to an undisclosed destination.

Powell said the reason Aristide did not know where he was heading was probably because South Africa – his original destination – apparently had sent a message that it was no longer willing to accept him.

Powell did not say at what stage South Africa had refused to welcome Aristide. South Africa was apparently “too busy with its own elections”.

Aristide was then taken to the Central African Republic.

Powell strongly denied Aristide was taken from Port-au-Prince against his will or that he was being held by America.

Aristide was accompanied on the flight by 15 of his own security guards, he said.
