Comme tout un chacun le sait, du temps paradisiaque du "bon docteur" de l'éditorialiste du journal "le Matin de Boulos", Haïti regorgeait de créatures les unes plus monstrueuses que les autres.

De 1957 à 1986, jamais on n'avait vu autant de diables circuler dans ce pays.
Dans le ciel, dans la mer, dans la terre, impossible de leur échapper.
D'où l'exil.
Des loups-garous de toutes les couleurs et de toutes les formes.
Une balle échappée des mains d'un enfant et sautillant toute seule, un chien assoiffé la langue pendante, un âne refusant d'avancer, un bouc suppliant de ses yeux qu'on ne l'abatte pas, une araignée sous le lit, un lézard traversant la galerie,etc.
Tout ça c'est loups-garous.
Ajouter à celà, les horreurs à lunettes noires, figures "mean" et revolvers.

Vous imaginez le vert paradis et les raisons de la nostalgie des grenn-nanbounda.

Cette mode des diables, une invention d' autoproclamés ethnologues -idéologues totalement cinglés d'une idéologie foireuse dénommée "noirisme" un label pour mieux exploiter les noirs-
Ces ethnologues ont été des complices et auxiliaires zélés des cagoulards, makoutes et autres milices crées par le "bon docteur" pour tuer assassiner et faire régner la paix des cimetières dans un pays coupé du monde et ignoré par les démocraties occidentales.

Parce que vous savez, il est tout à fait intérressant d' assassiner quelqu'un et de dire que c'est l'oeuvre d'un diable.

L'impunité est assurée et la panique démultipliée.

Parce que comment se protéger des diables.
En devenant protestant ?
En la fermant ?
En s'exilaant ?

Et nous voici reparti pour un tour.
Depuis le retour officiel des duvaliéristes, les zombis sont revenus avec eux sur la scène.
La fabrique à faire peur au peuple, makoutes, cagoulards et diables reprend du sevice avec une nette amélioration- il faut moderniser dirait l'autre- les kidnappings.
Avec le retour des zombis, les ethnologues rappliquent. Dans Le Nouvelliste, il y en a une héritiere d'un certain Douyon,
link
grand makoute devant l'éternel, qui expliquait le phénomène de la zombification ou quelque chose de genre.

Tout ça c'est mystification et compagnie;
Il s'agit pour les grenn-nanbounda, pour l'extrème-droite haïtienne de faire ce qu'elle a toujours fait : utiliser les croyances et la non-éducation du peuple pour le terroriser et le maintenir en esclavage.

Pour les auteurs de l'article ci-après cette réapparition du mythe des zombis serait une attaque contre le vaudou.

Zombie: separating fact from fiction

There is a rumor going around about zombies in Cap Haitian. Although false, the
story is spreading by word of mouth, and getting attention on the radio, on the
internet, and in newspapers. Before examining the rumor, it ‘s important to
recognize that the zombie allegory is one that evolved from the history of
Haiti as a nation founded from the wreckage of enslavement. Over the course
of 100 years, the French imported nearly 1 million Africans to the territory
and they killed at least 700,000 of them. A crime of this magnitude could not
have occurred without scarring the descendants of its victims. Our fore-parents
worked on plantations and were whipped by the landowners: this became the basis
for the zombie allegory.

The bizarre rumor circulating in Cap Haitian has numerous inconsistencies.
Ciliane is presented as a person who is mentally deranged, yet she is quoted as
a source of trustworthy information. We are encouraged to believe that because
Ciliane claims she is a zombie, it must be true. As the story goes, Ciliane
was killed but she is today vibrant enough to tell about it. Conveniently for
the story tellers, Ti Boss who is accused of having enslaved Ciliane is said
to be dead. Quite clearly, the dead can be defamed without risk of protest
from them.

The true victims of this concoction are Ciliane and Ti Boss. The picture
presented of Ciliane suggests that she is suffering from a psychiatric
disorder. Yet, instead of the society reaching out to her to provide the
medical care that she needs, stories abound that she is a zombie. What else
could people do, given that there are about 5 psychiatrists in the country and
all of them are in Port-au-Prince. Meanwhile, there is no shortage of people
to accuse those with mental illnesses of being zombies.

It is rumored that 1000 zombies escaped from Ti Boss’ grip. We must be able
to see through this nonsense. Nowhere in Haiti are there plantations operating
from the labor of 1000 people. Haiti functions on small scale family farms.
Imagine, 1000 people slaving on a plantation producing agricultural products,
yet all around this fortress of production is dire poverty and hunger.

This story is best suited for the National Inquirer where fantastic stories are
told for our entertainment. Notice that Ciliane cannot readily be identified as
she has no last name. Ti Boss carries the name of a hougan often sited in
Haitian traditional songs. Ciliane spent 3 years in slavery. These number of
years seem selected because the number three carries religious or mystical
connotations making it more likely that readers will accept the story without
probing it.

A formula for Haiti?

Along with the story, a simple formula has been offered for how to develop
Haiti. Does anyone wonder how this formula can be applied to solve the current
US economic recession? Apparently, the formula is not known by international
banks, by governments, by economists, by scientists. The formula calls for
the removal of Creole and Vodou to pave the way for development. In other
words, the less Haitians address each other in Creole, the better off the
country will be; the less Haitians honor their ancestors, the more wealth the
country will be able to obtain from the global markets. Grants and interest
free loans will come in abundance!

Needless to say, development does not stem from religion or language. Like
Haitians, the Japanese and Chinese also serve the spirits of their ancestors,
and Japan and China are among the richest countries of the world. Likewise, the
countries of Latin America are not poor because of their Christianity.
Development is the work of people, it is not the fruit of religion. It was not
Christianity that developed Western Europe. It was money made in the commerce
of people as slaves that allowed Europeans to invest in science and
industrialization. In fact, Christian leaders in Europe did all that they
could to obstruct the work of scientists.

The Spanish, the English, and the French, sequentially ruled Haiti for about
300 years. During that time, not one school was built, and nearly all the
wealth generated went to Europe. Later, of 450,000 people living in the
territory, 150,000 were slaughtered because they wished to live with human
dignity. Moreover, following the end of slavery, the French demanded that we
fight yet another war or send them every last drop of money the we produced.
Haiti complied. How can anyone circumvent all this, and say Vodou and Creole
are at the root of poverty in Haiti?

The story is really a call for rejèt:

The rumor apparently was launched to feed an anti-Vodou campaign. The story
was released to coincide with the Sodo celebrations in Haiti, an important
Traditional Religious Holiday. It is far easier to attack Vodou, then to reform
international trade and trade agreements, build universities, train engineers-
in short, do the hard work of developing know how. An anti-Vodou campaign is
just a distraction from the hard work that we need to do.
