Theater and Diplomatic Illusions in Haiti: the United States of North America and Haiti Facing the Pact of San Jose of Costa Rica.: A Registered Letter from Dr. Jacques-Raphaël Georges to the American Ambassador, Madam Michele Sison

By Dr. Jacques-Raphaël Georges

The United States is not a compilation of states, men, and circumstances.
They adhere to a principle. They meet certain prerequisites.
To speak on behalf of the America of Tocqueville, one must, at the very least, be its true and verified emanation. How can one represent the greatest democracy in the world without reflecting the values of the citizens who constitute it? Intellectually, this contradiction cannot be overcome!

In his Recommended Letter to the American Embassy, Dr. Jacques-
Raphaël Georges derailed a huge diplomatic machine that wanted to make the First Black Republic Independent of the world a “ SUB-COUNTRY” from where, from time to time, on the occasion of the carnival, the exhibition of an Indian chief dressed in a loincloth or a raid among the transvestites of the Côte- des- Arcadins, some grotesque clichés or stupid exoticism accommodates an eroticism that is no less so”. But by closing with a double turn anything that could draw attention to the crimes against the Haitian people. GENTLEMEN- ASSASSINS YOU MAY BEGIN !”
Me. Gérard Georges

Dr. Jacques-Raphaël Georges

Born in Port-au-Prince, Jacques-Raphaël Georges owes his primary and secondary education to the State of Haiti. Firstly, he was a pupil at L’Ecole Nationale des Casernes Dessalines, a school opened to the offsprings of the members of the Haitian armed forces. Georges began his teaching career at Centre d’Etudes d’Haïti, -where he was also a student-, as a Greek and Latin instructor while he studied at the Faculty of Ethnology before emigrating into the United States. He served in the US Navy. Honorably discharged, he attended Rhode Island College, where he obtained a B.A., a master’s in French pedagogy, and and a certificate in African and African-American studies. Thereafter, Georges crowned his accomplishments with a Ph.D. from the University of Connecticut. Doctor Georges presently teaches French and Francophone cultures at the University of New Hampshire, at Manchester. A defender of black cultures, Dr. Georges travels extensively throughout Africa, and Latin America, giving conferences on the topic.

Haiti taught me what I was and showed me what I must become.

… Some day, when Haiti loses its fear of having nothing else to lose, there will be hell to pay.

Hideous Dream, a Soldier’s Memoirs of the US Invasion of Haiti.

Stan Goff

(Retired Master Sergeant, US Army, Special Forces).

The relations of the United States with Haiti have been different from those with any other nation. Haiti was the First Nation in the Western world, after the United States, to win her independence. But Haiti was black, and her independence resulted from a slave insurrection. The relationship between the two countries have therefore not only been different -they have been vital, and at times even dramatic.

Rayford W. Logan (1969)

Foreword

"… Jacques and I have gotten very close, so close that

I have accepted to fill the role of General Secretary

in the political party, Le Congrès National Haïtien

(Le CNH), of which he is the founder."

—Judge Jean Sénat Fleury

When my friend, Jacques, asked me to write the foreword to his book, "Theater and Diplomatic Illusions in Haiti: Registered Letter from Dr. Jacques-Raphaël-Georges to the Ambassador of the United States of North America, Ms. Michele Sison, I feel both flattered and honored. I have known Jacques for fifteen years through my wife, who introduced him to me as a patriot devoted to the cause for the development and advancement of Haiti.

Very quickly, I find in the professor, a man of great intellectual worth, coupled with a boundless nationalist spirit,. iIn short, an immutable militant, ready to make all the sacrifices for the well-being of the Haitian people. Jacques and I have gotten very close; so close that I have accepted to fill the role of general secretary in the political party, Le Congrès National Haïtien (Le CNH), of which he is the founder.

"A collective actor,, he writes, the Haitian National Congress embodies what we call ‘Integral Firminism .’ Let us clarify that for us, Firminism is first synonymous with humanism, patriotism, Antillanism, Pan-Africanism, internationalism; then honesty and probity in the management of State affairs. Broadly speaking, Firminism is Humanism, to parody the late President-Academician, Léopold Sédar Senghor. Our legal adviser, Gérard Georges, summarizes it in a concise formula: ‘When man is in question, there is no other question!’

"In all areas, the CNH undertakes to respect and ensure respect, by all means, for the Constitution in force. So we call for an unadulterated Constitutionalism. No one is above the law. Especially the President of the Republic.

"Following the movement of great modern ideological and doctrinal currents, we, of the CNH, Neo-liberals, choose to swim in the fresh currants of the extreme center where we will fight for the survival and the defense of citizens’ social rights (rights to education, health, work, unemployment insurance, etc.), rights which have always been enshrined in our Constitutions, and the safeguarding of ‘the capitalist market economy through regulation, redistribution of wealth’ through budgetary, fiscal and monetary reforms.

We at the CNH have for Vision the coming of a New Haiti and a Haiti Anew. This new Haiti, we want it to be Unitary, Democratic, Pluralist where Our Strength will truly reside in Our Unity or Union.

Written at a time when an endless political and social crisis persists in Haiti since the beginning of 1986, a date which corresponds with the departure of Jean-Claude Duvalier, Dr. Jacques-Raphaël Georges’s letter is a frank and direct message addressed to the international
