From: VISHNUSURF@aol.com Anonymous: The website that Mr. Pina criticizes is about the best site on Haiti on the web, so many thanks to him for pointing it out to us all. Taking offense to the satirical photo of Aristide is hypersensitive on Mr. Pina's part. Politicians are open game to such caricature, and this one hardly seems in bad taste compared to the hundreds of political cartoons that run throughout the world in daily papers. And while such caricature may not qualify as "scholarly" it certainly CAN serve the interest of human rights by drawing attention to a leader's shortcomings or sins. In fact, it may serve better than scholarship at that, so kudos to wehaitians.com. How convenient that Mr. Pina forgot to note the many scholarly things that ARE posted on wehaitians.com, and rich links it provides to such devastating reports on the Lavalas human rights record as those produced by Amnesty International. So, once again, thanks, Mr. Pina, for advertising such an excellent website.
My name is Schameeka, My husband Charles Joseph was on vacation in Haiti. On his way to the airport to return home, he disappeared. The police had 2 suspects under arrest but they were released. They have no leads or suspects. I have contacted the president, the consulate, the embassy, the newspapers, the radio stations, cnn, msnbc, and usa today. Today is day 10 of his disappearance and I want to find him. I love him and we have 5 children. Please help
Dear Yves Thank you very much for sending us this. The Democratic Alliance is vehemently opposed to Aristide being allowed in this country, and we are doing all we can to prevent him from coming here. I have looked at your website, and I think it will be very useful for us. I have also forwarded your email to our foreign affairs and media departments. Thank you again and best regards Niki McQueen
I am seeking information as to where I might get a copy of a print or drawing of the statue that is in front of the Haitian National Palace entitled "Unknown Fugitive Slave" by Albert Mangones in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. I am an African-American who most recently read the book "Maroon Societies" and a picture of this statue is on the cover. I am an affiliate president of an educational organization, The National Alliance of Black School Educators, and our Affiliate has developed a local eduators award entitle, The Maroon Award. The title of our award has special significance due to our collective past and for people of Haitian descent, DuSable and L'Overture and another modern day African American scholar, Asa Hilliard. My interest is getting a print, drawing or casted stutue immitation of the Unknown Fugitive Slave to become the symbol for our award. If you are able to help me please inform me as to how I may proceed in procuring this item. truly!!!
To Whom It May Concern: My name is .... I'm currently writing a book about Haiti and I would like to have more information about the occult roots of Haiti. To be more specific, I would like know about Aristide's Voodoo worship. Do you have any book you can recommand? Thank you so much Yours,
allo maitre Isidor je te dis merci par ce que tu fais un bon travail pour la communaute haitienne.Ma femme emprunte ma voix pour te dire du courage et du succes.
Dear Professor Isidore: I have sent an e-mail to you earlier regarding the list of names of Haitians murdered by the lavalas criminals. It has been hard on me to look at the comparison pictures of the lifestyle of aristide, his wife and entourage to that of the people of Haiti. In our opinion, the couple need to be brought to justice including their supporters. For the crimes committed, in particularly the man laying on the ground in a pool of blood, disfigured ..... There must be justice to stop this atrocious behavior once and for all. Please tell me how I could help although there has been so much damage done, no one does not truly know where to start. If you happen to visit the DC area with your family, please don't hesitate to contact me at .... You may also reach me by e-mail, and indicate to me what could I do to the best of my abilities, to help our Haitian brothers and sisters.
I just found your website, and as an American/Floridian with many Haitian friends who fully support Aristide, I find your website biased and your thoughts deluded. I suggest you educate yourself to the truth about your country and mine by reading this book: "Hegemony or Survival" by Noam Chomsky. After you have read it, you will realize the true role of Aristide in your country's government, and why he is not permitted to create prosperity in Haiti. He is/was a pawn under the opressive thumb of the U.S. government. sincerely, thegreenman
Your admirable financial contribution can be U.S.$25.00 or more. A grant from you will help us pay for the cost (economic) of promoting and maintaining democracy and human rights in Haiti. That's all you learn to do false accusations, begging and at the same time trying to bring down brothers who are not like you. I finally understand why you are not wellike by any group and not welcome from anywhere. You, yourself, by being able to read and write is a destruction machine to your country. I wonder what Plato would say to you if he was alive. Are you a negger or a chocolate milk? If you were to learn Platon, Socrate, Aristote, Montaigne, Rousseau, Machiavel, Freud, Weber, Tockeville... name the rest howcome you still thinking the way you do? I don't have much time to spend with you. You are not worth it. Haitians like you make me hate haitians more and more everyday.
Hi, Your web site is really beautiful but try not to be a fanatic (lavalassiens), witch you aren't, when you are informing about the politial crisis in Haiti. I know that it is not easy for you to be objective in the actual situation but at least keep a certain respect for people even if you do not like them. Regards
Professor Isidor, I am journalist and I am shocked by what is on your site. The information is imflamatory and disgusting and I must ask, who funds your organisation. Aristide was a repressive dictator, but he was no less than the others of the past. For you to have balance and respect, your site to also chronicle the repressive and murderous practises of all of them.

Hello, My name is Jason Feifer, and I'm a reporter for the Gardner News, a daily newspaper in north-central Mass. I'm writing to request your permission to use a photograph from your website in the newspaper. For our weekly page written by teenagers, we have an article by a girl who is preparing to go to Haiti with a church group to help build buildings. She has no graphics to go with the piece, and so I've been searching for photographs to use. I found a few that would be appropriate in your photograph-poverty section, but wanted to get permission from you before using one of them. I will list the web address under the photograph, so you will be getting credit for the picture. Please confirm that I can or cannot use the photo in the paper. You can just reply to this address, or reach me at 978-632-8000, ext. 24. Thank you, Jason Feifer |

I have been reading your web site from time to time. At this point, I need to know who is Professor Yves A. Isidore, SVP! It is an expensive site with extensive and at times gory pix and apparently linked with the NY Times.... I now need to know who the Prof.is since he is the only name that appears on the site... Respectfully, Raybossan |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Prof Isidor: Thank you for your reply. I am working through a church and have no intention of dealing with the government. If you don't mind, I'll keep you posted occasionally. |

Hi Yves, It was great to see you as well. You have greatly influenced my thinking and I hope that you are still interested in writing about world politics with a focus on Haiti. I've been moving the early work we did into an elevated format where we can include a larger audience. The website http://www.iite.org is one that I have designed to continue the kind of discourse we began with the newspapers. Check out the site and let me know if you are interested in writing and adding to the global community room. Is the www.wehaitians.com website yours? Please stay in touch. |

Dear Mr. Isidor, My name is .... I am a high school senior in Palo Alto, California. I am currently writing a large research paper about Aristide's first presidency, and I have been looking at the "wehaitians" website for information, and it has been very useful. I was wondering though, if you might be able to answer a few questions I still have, in a sort of "email interview" setting. If you would be able to respond, here are the questions, and if you cannot that is fine as well, it just seemed like you had a lot of knowledge on this topic. 1) To what extent do you believe Aristide changed between 1990 and 1996? (I am focusing on this first period, so it would be great if you had comments about that, though I will be touching lightly on the current situation in my conclusion) And if he changed (some say he didn't, that's fine too) was that change good or bad? 2) To what extent can you characterize Aristide as a politician? to what extent can you characterize him as prophet? 3) What are his flaws and what are his strengths? What has good has he done for Haiti and its people, and what has he made worse? (during the period 1990-1996) 4) Are Aristide's arguments against the elite and the military legitimate? 5) To what extent is Aristide's connection to the people genuine? Is this connection based on religion? 6) Did Aristide mobilize disenfrachized masses towards participating in politics and creating a democracy? did he try and fail, or not try at all? 7) When Aristide returned from exile he spoke of "justice and reconciliation,"... do you believe Aristide was genuinely interested in achieving those goals, and did he achieve them? 8) What do you think of the political pardon which Aristide granted the coup leaders during his exile? What do you think of Aristide's economic policies during his first seven months, and those he accepted after his exile? 9) Was Aristide committed to the people of Haiti, and if yes, did he remain loyal to them? If he did not remain loyal, why not? That should be enough to start you off! Actually its a lot of questions I know, so if you'd like to, please just answer those you have the most to say about, or a little about each. Please let me know if you need any more information. I'd really appreciate your opinion on this. As you can probably tell, I am very interested in Haiti, and this topic in particular, so I would love to hear what you have to say. Thank you very much for taking the time to read this. Thank you very much p.s. also, if you know other people who would be interested to answer these questions, or add their thoughts to my analysis, you are more than welcome to share the questions and my email adress with them. (or if you do not have time to answer these questions, but you know someone else who does that's fine too!) Just let them know, it would be great if they could respond by sometime next week. Thank you! |

I wanted to thank you for your gesture Prof. Ysidor. I went to your site and I followed the instruction that you had sent to me to see Jacques Ketan's Mansion. I like your site very much, and I can not cease to read the past and present news. Keep up the good work Prof. Haiti needs you. By the way I don't know, if you have the haitian police chief Jocelyne Pierre e mail address, if you have it, can you please send it to me. thank you |

Let's wait and see.Very truly yours: |
