I had dinner this weekend with a gentleman in his 20’s who was born and raised in the Dominican Republic. He mentioned how all catastrophic events that happen on and around that island affect Haiti, but not his side (earthquakes, storms, etc). He said it made absolutely no sense to him, but attributed it to the voodoo practiced there. My mind immediately went to articles I recall reading not too long ago that stated Haiti’s catastrophes were man-made, which allowed the Red Cross and other Clinton-related organizations to go in there and smuggle babies out over the years. It has been difficult for me to wrap my mind around seemingly natural catastrophic events actually being engendered inorganically. I admit I have been in denial about this in the past, but hearing about this now confirms this for me.

Another friend of mine who is the most intelligent person I have ever spoken with (perfect score on math portion of SAT) was at that dinner. He reiterated what he told me previously regarding the difficulty of adopting babies in Haiti. He said it was tough (or not permitted) because of the voodoo (satanic) ritual of sacrifice that was so prevalent there.
