Haiti: A microcosm of failed states.

from CBN:

The low IQ problem that he mentions is a problem: not genetic but due to childhood malnutrition. WHen I was in rural Zimbabwe, where the babies got prolonged breast feeding and we had nutrition supplements sold at baby clinic the IQ was essentially normal, especially in kids who went to school where there was lunchtime food supplements.,

Then I worked in Liberia, and the low IQ was a major problem. Why? poor city slums. Women encouraged to use formula (or used it because they had to work) and then couldn't really afford enough to buy enough to keep the kid nourished.

So in Zimbabwe, usually we had moms with 5 to 8 kids, and most lived, but in Monrovia, many of the moms had six pregnancies but only one or two kids.

The gangs can destablize the country because Papa Doc Duvalier used them and voodoo to control the population

Ironically, there are educated Haitians: Many of them went to newly independent African countries that spoke French to find jobs, especially the DRC.

the do gooders who criticized Duterte who kept the Philippines from deteriorating into being run by drug cartels, and the same ones who are criticizing the mass arrests in ElSalvador, are making things worse.

and I am glad he mentioned the fraud by the Clinton Foundation: something that is rarely mentioned in the US media..
