94 U.S. AGENCY FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT (AID), THE WORLD
BANK, THE NATIONAL ENDOWMENT FOR DEMOCRACY (NED), AND SCORES OF U.S.-FUNDED
GROUPS ARE INSTITUTIONALIZING A MORE PERMANENT, LESS REVERSIBLE INVASION.

THE TROOPS OF THIS INTERVENTION CALLED DEMOCRACY ENHANCEMENT BY AID AND LOW
INTENSITY DEMOCRACY BY OTHERS ARE TECHNICIANS AND EXPERTS.

THEIR WEAPONS
ARE DEVELOPMENT PROJECTS AND LOTS OF MONEY.

THEIR GOAL IS TO IMPOSE A
NEOLIBERAL ECONOMIC AGENDA, TO UNDERMINE GRASSROOTS PARTICIPATORY
DEMOCRACY, TO CREATE POLITICAL STABILITY CONDUCIVE TO A GOOD BUSINESS
CLIMATE, AND TO BRING HAITI INTO THE NEW WORLD ORDER APPENDAGED TO THE U.S.
AS A SOURCE FOR MARKETS AND CHEAP LABOR.

DEMOCRACY PROMOTION WILL SUPPORT
THOSE PROJECTS AND PEOPLE WILLING TO GO ALONG WITH ITS AGENDA AND WILL MOLD
THEM INTO A CENTER.

IN THE CRUDE OLD DAYS, GRASSROOTS ORGANIZERS UNWILLING
TO BE CO-OPTED WOULD HAVE BEEN TORTURED OR KILLED.

NOW, THEY WILL SIMPLY BE
MARGINALIZED BY POVERTY AND LACK OF POLITICAL CLOUT.

SOPHISTICATED
PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGNS WILL SET THE STAGE FOR DEMONSTRATION ELECTIONS THAT
WILL BESTOW LEGITIMACY ON THE PROJECT.

SHOULD "STAY NEUTRAL" IN THE UPCOMING PARLIAMENTARY ELECTIONS.

CARTER WAS
OBVIOUSLY FAR FROM NEUTRAL WITH THIS INTERVENTION AGAINST ARISTIDE'S PARTY.

CARTER ALSO MET WITH ALL THE PARTIES AND GROUPS OPPOSING ARISTIDE,
INCLUDING THOSE THAT BACKED THE 1991 MILITARY COUP. ACCORDING TO ONE
RIGHT-WING LEADER, THE FORMER U.S. PRESIDENT URGED THE VARIOUS RIGHTIST AND

FORCES.
