René Préval

Wilson Laleau, the Chief of Staff of Haitian President Jovenel Moise told the Miami Herald that President Moise will appeal directly to President Trump to request that the TPS be extended as Haiti is still dealing with the consequences of the earthquake that hit Port-Au-Prince, in 2010. Putting the earthquake aside which occurred seven years ago, there were ample opportunities in the ensuing years for the Haitian government to turn things around. In the last ten years, both the Preval administration (God Bless his soul- Rene Preval died a few months ago) and the Martelly administration were more interested in lining their pockets then helping fellow Haitians. It is rather ironic that Wilson Laleau the ring-leader of the Petrocaribe conspiracy is now telling American media about his government outreach to help Haitian immigrants. It is sad that the same people who created the situation that makes it hard for Haitians to return home are the exact same people who claim to represent their interests. The level of hypocrisy is…

There have been roughly forty truth commissions created throughout the world, and according to Priscilla Hayner, author of Unspeakable Truths, these truth commissions have largely been ineffective and unsuccessful (2010). The reasons behind their unsuccessfulness differ widely. Many of the “strongest truth commissions have met with frustration from victims and activists, who have sometimes pushed for more robust inquiries” (Hayner, 2010). These robust inquiries, many of which are often…

The article looks at the second ouster of then-President Jean-Bertrand Aristide, and compares the violence surrounding his removal to past political violence in the country such as the armed mob led by Louis Jean-Jacques Acaau to try to take control of the government in 1844. Importantly, she says, “In the 200 years Haiti's elite has squabbled for power, René noted, its members never built a state that redistributed wealth or provided things like education, health care, roads or electricity”…

Rene Descartes, a 16th-century French rationalist, and Hume, an 18th-century Scottish empiricist, were two of the greatest early modern philosophers. Descartes used in his reason and method of doubt to most notably come to conclusions about the nature of the self, mind, and body in his Meditations on First Philosophy. Hume using his senses and experiences to come to views of these things in his work the, Treatise of Human Nature, Book 1. These two philosophy giants came to totally bipolar…

Descartes states he is constantly being deceived and it is the result of all the falsehoods he blindly accepted in his childhood. He believes the falsehoods of his life leads him to contemplate the foundation of his knowledge. One falsehood Descartes claims is his senses. He learned most of his knowledge from seeing and his perception deceives him because he can not conclude that he is even awake. He stated he was certain that he was sitting by the fire in a rob with a paper in his hand,…

God is not deceiving. Once Descartes achieves the conclusion that God is not a liar, but instead accepting that there exists an evil spirit, which is equipped for misleading us, similarly as we assumed God to be capable. The evil spirit argument is to build up uncertainty upon his belief that God is the sole figure who puts thoughts in his mind; a God that he accepts to be an all powerful great being and not forcing deceptions upon him. Descartes closes this meditation in a condition of…

René Descartes built the argument for God’s existence more than once in his “Discourse on Method and Meditations of First Philosophy”, and it wasn’t easy. The basis for his first ultimate proof of God’s existence is developed in Meditation One and Two, in which he establishes how one can know things, and builds certainty of his own existence from the ground up. Meditation Three includes his first attempt at defining God’s existence with a logical proof, in which Descartes takes the power of…
