Expect More Pranks From Fake French Foreign Ministry
By ROBERT MACKEY

A video from last week showing activists who faked a French government Web site to draw attention to the money Haiti paid France after gaining its independence in the 19th century.
This is for readers who followed The Lede’s coverage of the activists who invented a replica of the French foreign ministry’s Web site earlier this month, and used it to post a statement that drew attention to the huge sum of money France forced Haiti to pay in the 19th century, after it won its independence in a successful slave revolt.

The money, 90 million gold francs — which Haiti paid to France from 1825 until 1947 to compensate slave-holders for their loss of “property” — was estimated by the Haitian government in 2003 to be the equivalent of nearly $22 billion today.

Last week, the people behind the hoax, who call themselves the Committee for the Reimbursement of the Indemnity Money Extorted from Haiti, or C.R.I.M.E., held a news conference in Montreal to explain, in English and French, why they had constructed their elaborate ruse. As The Canadian Press reported, they promised to continue to tweak France over the issue. The news agency explained:

Members of the group, called the Committee for the Repayment of the Indemnity Money Expropriated from Haiti, or C.R.I.M.E. for short, unmasked themselves at a news conference Thursday. Sort of. Because an angry French government has threatened legal action, they wore Zorro-type face covers to shield their true identities, on the advice of a lawyer.

“We want to talk about why we took this action but, at the same time, there are serious threats from the French government about legal action,” said one C.R.I.M.E. member, who didn’t identify herself. “That being said, we have every intention of continuing.”
During the news conference, one member of the group said that they had been inspired by the anti-corporate pranksters known as the Yes Men.
