A Haitian driver was injured when the US embassy convoy came under fire in the Croix-des-Bouquets neighborhood of the Haitian capital, Port-au-Prince.  A State Department spokesman stated that "no embassy personnel were injured."  A concerning omission is that no reference was made to the absence of Chargé d'Affaires Eric Stromayer, and this assault may have been a very close shave for the career American diplomat.  As on occasions where citizens use force in self-defense against police, there is very little news coverage of this attack.  Both have been rare events, but them occurring even once, ever, is an enormous threat to a militarized nation-building machine like the USA or China.

"If it bleeds, we can kill it!" This was the realization of primitive Indians in what is now Mexico, after brutal oppression by the gun-wielding, armored Spanish knight on horseback.  They had never seen a horse before, let alone a horseman.  They thought it was one unified, impregnable thunder-monster from another world...until a random bowshot struck an unshielded spot and blood flowed down the caballero's leg...showing him to be only a man like any other.  He could be unhorsed...wounded...defeated...exterminated.  The secret was out;  the invader's  illusion of immortality was shattered! 

Protests in China achieved critical mass when crowds "beat the hell out of the police" sent to disperse them, according to Hal Turner, who stated that he had video of those skirmishes before his website suffered a crippling attack by hackers.  Reuters quoted a Shanghai protestor,  "The people here aren’t violent, but the police are arresting them for no reason. They tried to grab me but the people all around me grabbed my arms so hard and pulled me back so I could escape."  The article continues, "By Sunday evening, hundreds of people gathered in the area. Some jostled with police trying to disperse them" (emphasis added).  The battering given to initial riot police accelerated emotion and stoked the conflagration which has, in a matter of days, ignited in urban centers across China.

President Trump let the whole world know where the heart of the swamp is when he called the US diplomatic corps the "DEEP State Department."  The failed US experiment of nation-building is perhaps nowhere more apparent than Haiti.  This small nation on the island of Hispaniola was under Clinton Foundation influence even before the devastating 2010 earthquake.  After the quake, billions of dollars from around the world began to flood in.  The dollars would continue to flow as long as the crisis continued, and continue it would for that very reason.  Today there is an entire generation of Haitians that grew up in refugee camps, then was herded from nation to nation as communist revolutionaries.  After the overthrow of multiple nations, the Texas/Mexico border is now the focal point of this refugee crisis.  Two changes have happened in the year since the assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse and surged in the last 2-3 months.  First, there is a real movement of armed revolt against globalist forces, spearheaded by legitimate police and political leaders (who are now sanctioned by the UN and US government, maligned, and labelled as criminals).  Second, Mexico has proposed an armed intervention in Haiti to address the migration wave at its source.  Mexico is likely the unnamed "partner country" that would make the intervention.  It would require an act of congress for Mexican troops to leave their native soil, but Mexico has already been stepping into the power vacuum left in the wake of the "US decline," according to president AMLO (really, the Biden administration redirected US aid to non-productive NGOs contributing to regional instability in a reversal of Trump policy).  Military force outside of the nation's borders would mark a stunning increase in Mexico's regional influence, which has been up to this point focused on aid, development, and free trade with proximate nations. 

Violence aside, protests continue in Haiti and a recurring theme is "No Boots On The Ground [Intervention]" and "F the USA."  They have asked for help from Russia and Cuba, and demand the resignation of Prime Minister Ariel Henry.  Much news has been made of the month-long blockade of Haiti's fuel terminal by ex-cop Jimmy "Barbecue" Cherizier and his armed followers.  Lesser known is that this blockade was a protest against Ariel Henry ending fuel subsidies, causing fuel prices to double overnight.  Cherizier was not just any cop, either.  He was an officer in Haiti's security forces very close to President Moïse before his death and rumored to be close to senate leader Joseph Lambert.  Sanctioning and maligning these leaders appears to serve the US interest of prolonging the national crisis.  Lambert was not allowed to enter the USA last month, but Venezuelan despot Nicolas Maduro (who had a US$15 million bounty on his head under Trump's presidency) was greeted with open arms. 

These conflicts on opposite sides of the world are dynamic and complex.  It is not immediately clear who is on which side and alliances may change rapidly.  Mexico, as a center-left democracy, may be the perfect nation to respond to the Haitian people's call to Russia and Cuba...but may have to depose in the process Prime Minister Ariel Henry, the very official who called for the intervention.  One thing is abundantly clear.  In both cases, protestors acted with sudden violence, in a magnitude that overwhelmed local authorities, and gained immediate world attention, sympathies of other movements in diverse places, and terrified the agents of the globe's greatest superpowers.
