A FEW NOTES ABOUT "NOTES FROM THE LAST TESTAMENT"
BY PATRICK ELIE
<<snip>>
However, I will not finish this short dispatch, without pointing to
Deibert"s systematic attempt at character assassination wherever
Jean-Bertrand Aristide is mentioned. This reactionary allergy to the
first freely elected President of Haiti's history is a disease Deibert
might have caught from his too constant frequentation of our pathetic
economic and intellectual "elites" and foreign expatriates haunting the
verandas of the Montana and the Oloffson hotels.
Patrick Elie must be tired. I suppose when someone becomes obsessed
with a "movement" then there is no stopping...ever. An intersting
tid-bit of fact about the last elections reveals an overwhelming
majority of the Petion-Ville area voting for Preval. In other words,
many of the "pathetic economic and intellectual elites" voted for
Preval. But I suppose when the blinders come off, it's only after this
point is useless...
