It seems there is a news blackout from Haiti. The last i heard hundreds of thousands moved out to tent camps, but no reports or pictures.

Compared to the first week, constant news, then nothing.

Don't want any pesky cameras getting in the way of the US army do we? :P

No, we just have a short attention span and the MSM knows it.

Food distrabution has been stopped because of a power sharing agreement, The UN, plus three levels of Haitian government, must approve every bag of food, and the people have failed to fill out the proper forms, none writen in their language, but even if it was, few can read.

Until they learn to read, no food!

The few who got food, were the weakest, old women, who were each given a 25 kilo bag of rice, which they had to carry. Most of these women weigh less than 50 kilos, and then they had to go home alone through a million starving people in the streets.

Food has the first priority, so there is no water or fuel to cook the rice with.

The UN plan is literacy first, then water.

This is from Port au Prince, no UN has dared go into the countryside where hundreds of thousands have walked to find something to eat. Area residents have stopped responding to phone calls, but ariel views show all is well, and they are holding a large street BarBQue for their visitors.

The Clinton-Bush Fund for Haiti announced that Brownie has been put in charge of disaster aid, for he did such a hell of a job during Katrina.

President Obama has said that he will do everything to restore the economy of Haiti, after the mid term elections.

Security is being provided by the 82nd Airborne, who reports that no two UN workers speak the same language. The few Haitians who speak some english, and the Haitian born members of the 82nd, are proposing to elect the 82nd as the new government. In a pre ballot poll, 95% were in favor.

The Government of Haiti, reporting from Paris, is calling off all elections, for as they said, The People Have Spoken, and their will shall be enforced forever. The French commodies market has been flooded with new contracts for rice, beans, corn.

A ship load of tents, medical supplies, generators, has been unloaded in Mauritania, the UN claims it was a simple error in paperwork, Haiti being misspelled, and import for resale being checked on the invoice. Saliek Nurdi, a UN worker from Mauritania said a present he was sending his father got mixed up with the shipping invoices, and his father's farm tools should show up in Haiti sometime. Dad's going to be suprised when this 225 containers of goods shows up, Saliek said.
