The Spin


Pro-establishment narrative

The assassination of Haiti's president was a calculated conspiracy driven by greed and corruption, orchestrated by a Miami security firm seeking lucrative contracts through violent regime change. Evidence shows defendants communicated in coded messages, wore fake U.S. military uniforms and methodically planned the murder for months. The widow's testimony and guilty pleas from five conspirators prove this was a straightforward criminal plot to seize power and enrich themselves.

Establishment-critical narrative

There are too many holes in the official narrative to believe these men were the masterminds. The more likely culprits were powerful Haitian political figures with support from U.S. intelligence agencies. Phone records link the current prime minister to the chief suspect, while a key plotter confirmed American officials greenlit the operation. Multiple conspirators have also been shown to have been FBI and DEA informants, and U.S. agents met with plotters months before the killing, yet failed to stop it.
