DISINFO: The US and Colombia “help” to investigate the murder of Haiti’s president only to hide their own involvement
SUMMARY
The murder of Haitian president Jovenel Moïse was the result of a criminal plan that points in several directions, ‘implicating some neighbouring countries and organisations related to the US and Colombia. More information is coming out, and other key elements of the crime point to Colombia. Since the murder became public, Bogota rushed to offer its help, showing its solidarity, but everything changed since the involvement of former Colombian soldiers.
The participation of the FBI, Colombia and the UN in the investigation leaves the impression that they don’t want to reach the truth, but to reach their truth. Not for nothing there are former Colombian soldiers involved, and we shouldn’t forget that all this was forged in Florida, or the involvement of a US citizen. This looks like an attempt to cover or give a fast solution to the crime, in a way that is convenient for two countries that are pointed and involved. Some are trying to whitewash their image in a very complicated situation they lost control of.
RESPONSE
The affirmation that the participation of Colombian and US bodies in the investigation of the assassination of Haitian president Jovenel Moïse is an attempt to cover its implication and find a convenient “official truth” is not backed by any evidence. This disinformation message aims to make spectators believe that the US and Colombian governments were probably involved in the crime, of which there is zero proof.
Contrary to the claim, the fact that some of the suspects arrested are US citizens of Haitian origin or Colombians or that the plot was partially orchestrated in Florida doesn’t imply an official involvement of either government in the operation. On the contrary, US and Colombian authorities have been transparent about their findings of these mercenaries, such as the fact that some of them had received US military training when they were active members of the Colombian army or that one of them had been a former DEA informant, as well as many other details found by Colombian investigators.
This disinformation message is part of a wider effort to frame the US and Colombia as responsible for recent events in Latin America such as shootings between criminal gangs and Venezuelan security forces in Caracas. See here for further debunking of these false allegations.
See other examples of similar disinformation narratives, such as claims that there is a Western media campaign against Nicaragua, that a UN human rights report on Venezuela aims to de-legitimise the upcoming legislative elections, that violent pro-Maduro thugs are Western media propaganda, that a Twitter campaign against Evo Morales may be run by the CIA, that the West refused to call the coup attempt in Venezuela ‘a coup’, or that an alleged US dirty war in Facebook against Venezuela, Bolivia and Mexico is a new Condor Plan.
This disinformation message appeared in the same TV programme as the claim that “Delivery of coronavirus vaccines to Haiti is propaganda aiming to silence criticism of the West”.
