The Haitian capital has been gripped by a wave of highly coordinated gang attacks on law enforcement and state institutions in what gang leader Jimmy Cherizier has described as an attempt to overthrow Prime Minister Ariel Henry’s government.
Armed groups have burned down police stations and released thousands of inmates from two prisons, and Cherizier has warned of “a civil war that will end in genocide” if the prime minister does not step down.
Henry has had difficulty returning to the country since leaving for Kenya last week to sign an agreement for a Kenyan-led multinational mission to restore security back home.
He is now believed to be in Puerto Rico, two sources with knowledge of Henry’s movements in the Caribbean island told CNN, after the Dominican Republic refused to let his flight land.
Whee!!! Cannibalism! (Source seems sketchy, sure, but this is Haiti).

In a recent post, Laura Rosen Cohen ponders a modern mystery:
Speaking of evil. On Wednesday, Mark posted this excellent essay “Red Shoes in the Sunset“. It got me thinking of the predominance of “trans men” doing bad things; to women, to girls and to society via public policy. As I commented in the comment section, I love men, and I’m very pro-men, but it does seem to me like we in the Western world are being led/bullied by some of the most mentally ill, sociopathic men on planet Earth. The “trans”, i.e “Not Men” are the absolute worst of them. Could this be a direct result of the feminization of society? Did women just start to take over too much of the world, so these aggressive, sick men just figured that if they “identify” as women, they can go about their business-acting perversely, raping women in prisons, slicing the breasts of girls (some of the most ‘successful’ trans surgeons are trans Not Women themselves), removing the penises of boys, making military policy, smashing up women in sports-and just generally behaving in a sociopathic manner toward girls and women with impunity-with societal applause?

“We think the government does have some right to have an influence over the regime” in which these large funds operate, he said. “But we’re not suggesting the government tells these pension funds exactly where to invest.”
About Safe Supply programs is the way it gets drugs off the street and squeezes organized crime out of the trafficking business.
“We have noted an alarming trend over the last year in the amount prescription drugs located during drug trafficking investigations, noting they are being used as a form of currency to purchase more potent, illicit street drugs. Organized crime groups are actively involved in the redistribution of safe supply and prescription drugs, some of which are then moved out of British Columbia and resold. The reselling of prescription drugs significantly increases the profits realized by Organized Crime,” states Cpl. Jennifer Cooper, Media Relations Officer for the Prince George RCMP.
