A Short Note to Professor Pierre Josué Agenor Cadet: « History Does Not Exist »

Dear Professor, your text: Haiti for Sale: The Republic Delivered to Power Merchants, sends shivers down one's spine. One can only sympathize with your dismay at the quagmire our country finds itself in. As an experienced history professor, you are better placed than anyone to capture all the negative vibrations and waves spread across the country, like a layer of blood-colored paint.

This cry: « One does not do that to a country, the Nation of liberty », explains everything; no need to elaborate on other atrocities, other barbarities. You have observed, judged, and condemned mediocrity, betrayal, and mercantilism. And as a verdict, you pronounced this: And if some persist in selling the Republic piece by piece, history, for its part, will not forget their names.

Our reservation lies in the verdict, observing the decisions and actions of the warlords, to the great detriment, with absolute contempt for universal conventions and laws.

These people are not afraid of history's judgment; on the contrary, they cut the planet piece by piece, they demonstrate through their arrogance the abyssal flaws of historical narratives. Only the punishments of the present and the victims are real. History is prefabricated by and for « Interests »; but it does not exist.
