Was there any good reason to expect that the black cloud of problems trailing Haiti would not extend to their national elections?
The island nation ripped by poverty, earthquake, cholera and storm damage can now add political collapse to the list of ills since Sunday's voting for presidential candidates ran headlong in to allegations of fraud and total disarray at polling places.
Voters didn't know where to cast ballots, and when they did find a polling place, they often found their names weren't listed on voter rolls to allow them to vote. At other polling places, gangs of thugs took over the ballot places and scattered paperwork. Some ballots were even burned.
Of the 19 candidates running for the presidency, 12 candidates joined the call for the election to be canceled because of the problems. The candidates also denounced Haitian President Rene Preval for election tampering.
According to accounts from the New York Times, crowds ran through the streets, carrying tree branches, to stop the elections.
The national election council, though, reported that there were election problems at just 56 of 1,500 voting centers, meaning that election results would likely be reliable. Results won't be available until after Dec. 7th.
It would be easy to dismiss the election problems as just another problem for the country that is slipping further in to disarray, but the more unstable the government appears, the less likely foreign governments are to open up the purse strings to the millions in promised aid that is being held up.
So while the so-called leaders and their thugs destroy the election and ruin public confidence in the government, we all know who will really end up suffering: the average people of Haiti.
16-Nov-10 - Forty-five years after he was killed by an Alabama State Trooper, Jimmie Lee Jackson, whose death lead to the first civil rights march on Selma, he is finally getting a small measure of justice.
12-Nov-10 - In a case better suited for Judge Mathis, Paula Cook is proceeding with her civil suit against Fantasia Barrino for an antiquated legal cause of action called "Alienation of Affection" in a North Carolina court.

LETTER TO PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
President of the United States of America The White House 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue N.W. Washington, DC 20500 U.S.A.
MISTER PRESIDENT:
We must feel strong, because You did a great job, PRESIDENT OBAMA !
AS GOD BLESS YOU and BLESS THE WHOLE PEOPLE OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA !
WHILE THE WHOLE WORLD HAS IT EYES ON YOU. ON YOUR PEOPLE AND YOUR FAMILY !
Everyone congratulates You to have been democratically elected and see that something happen in America while today Norwegian Nobel Committee Chairman Thorbjørn Jagland explains why you won The Nobel Peace Prize! Because: 'It is in adversity', I was going to say in 'darkness', that one recognizes true friends.
That we are in the midst of crisis is now well understood. Our nation is at war, against a far-reaching network of violence and hatred. Our economy is badly weakened, a consequence of greed and irresponsibility on the part of some, but also our collective failure to make hard choices and prepare the nation for a new age." (FROM The Text of President Obama's inaugural address)
Energy of the Sixties tested, confronted by Today's Energy crisis, what does Science hold for us in this field at the crossroad of the third millennium?
Each of us should express solidarity, according to his means.
My contribution, apparently futuristic, refers, Mister President, to an inexhaustible source of energy, which one should tame now.
In a book with limited publication, translated in English for the needs of the cause, entitled 'BILL A RI And There Was Light', addressed during his last American election campaign to President Bill Clinton who acknowledged having received it, I dared to tackle this subject.
It's like to say to you, President Obama, that in the exceptional circumstances in which we live today - in the point of view of energy - no exploration in the mid or long term, by the American expertise, of an additional source of energy, at the same time safe and profitable, should not be ruled out.
There is no witchcraft at all involved in all that, Mister President. In spite of my Haitian ascent and my carefully phrased remarks. It is undoubtedly so when a taboo should be broken through. A taboo of magnitude, Sir, I admit it. A 'scientific' taboo, seldom encountered.
'The taboo arises as a negative categorical imperative,' affirms Roger Caillois.
It is not saying little. Especially when it is a question of adequately correcting the theory of Newton on light and colors.
However, at the dawn of the twenty first century, to denounce this taboo, to reverse it, should I say what an asset! Moreover, at the same time the multiple taboos grow blurred which surround another phenomenon of the highest scientific range, the well known phenomenon under the abusive name of 'Black Holes’, synthesis of light and colors. Indeed Newton, in good faith undoubtedly in his time, really reversed the interpretation of the phenomenon of light. He took the part for the whole! So much and so well that today like yesterday, the visible appears so much more tempting.
Physicists say it: 'ninety to ninety nine percent of the matter of the universe
(Grosso Modo - said here roughly by Lucien BONNET - for more precisions see "LINKS" or "GOOGLE") is made up of a dark matter, invisible, which generates, propels and surrounds the visible, like the sea surrounds the continents'. Scientists such as Stephen Hawking affirm it. The Hubble Telescope confirms it. But theoretical Optics is stagnant.
My intervention, here, President Obama, would mean that. It is possible to use another form of energy. By decoding the Black Matter. Without a play on words. Theoretically initially. While 'returning the elevator to Newton' - without a play on words. By the Act which consists in making an AMENDMENT TO THE LAW OF NEWTON ON LIGHT AND COLORS.
Presently, why should we take the result instead of the cause?
- Objectively and in a pragmatic way, how not focusing on the new synthesis?
Consequently, what a liberation!
At the threshold of the third millennium, let light live, invisible by synthesis, visible by analysis!
'Synthesis and analysis are two wings of the same bird, the rhythm of the universe's heartbeat, tamed inside the infinitely small having mass. Successively contracted and deployed. In the benefit of humanity.'
One small step for Man, one giant leap for Mankind - I also said myself - in 'BILL A RI and there was light! '
Unfortunate, yes, but how much a convenient Energy crisis if I dare say which invites us to explore other avenues, other concepts and, therefore, other resources so far neglected.
Invitation to go from the invisible to the visible and vice versa. Taking advantage of the sequence of colorless and colored luminous speeds. In order to better understand the Universe. Where Law and Order prevail. Just like in Democracy!
Energetic formula with a unique character!
In the name of Science and Technology, vapor is being reverse!
A winning formula!
In The United States of America.
By The United States of America.
For The United States Of America and abroad!
With you today, President Obama, I repeat this sentence - since 1972 and 1978 - that is to say forty years old, but always, in my opinion, carrying the same message that I wish more and more positive for the years to come, in the third millennium, as I said since 1972 and on April 10, 1978, in a Letter to Doctor Carl Sagan:
'On the cosmic scale as on the terrestrial scale, darkness or blackness forms an integral, sine qua non part, of color and light process'.
Is it still broad daylight In the Shadow of the Black Sun?
