This is a set up of some sort but against who and why is the question.


On Tuesday, another stunning revelation: A letter from a local car dealership to the prime minister revealed that one of the vehicles, the Ford, was purchased by a former government official and sent to the care of Fritz Jean-Louis, an adviser of President Jovenel Moïse. Jean-Louis has since fled the country, police said.

Police found license plates inside the vehicles, and at least one was registered to Jean-Louis.

“If I was in the place of [the judicial police] I would arrest Fritz Jean-Louis,” said Pierre Esperance, a human rights activist who published the names of the men in a report commending the Haiti National Police for the arrest and its professionalism.

Jean-Louis, Esperance said, pulled up to the checkpoint during the police questioning and was let go by police who were more concerned about the five Americans, two Serbians and a Haitian national they had just stopped. Jean-Louis was also one of the first to float the idea that “the men were on a mission in Haiti to evaluate the” central bank.

Yeah, well, there you go. This was definitely a set up.

These guys were under the impression that they were pulling security for someone otherwise they would have never been stupid enough to drive into a check point with no tags .... and they would have had an escape route in place and fired-up anyone who tried to take them down. That’s just how those crews work.

This was amatuer hour and someone is going to pay some kind of price.

My bet is the Americans will be used as bargaining chips for something. We’ll find out soon enough what that is.

The place is a shite hole. I was there for four months after the earthquake and when I finished I vowed I would never go back for any amount of money. I slept at night with a pistol under my while spooning with an AK, and that was with security pulling CQ on each end of our GP Medium.

Where the bank is located, right near the govenor’s building, is where most of the shite goes down and is usually heavily occupied by military who will throw down at the drop of a hat ... and often do.

This was all a set up. I just checked two of the contractor boards and they are saying there were other contractors on the island who are raising hell right now about their guys being set up.
