Hide your women. Protect your children

I agree with Sean Penn.

Probably for the first time sean got it right .....The fuggee is a moron .....But a change is as good as a rest .....is there no one that has a little class and integrity and brains and leadership ...in other words a Miracle

Wow, will the elections be hollywood style???

Wyclef Assicates .....Tonton Macoutes

Seans observations about Wyclef does hold some merit. Many in the U.S don't support Sean's pro socialistic views......

I wonder how much material aide Sean has given to Haiti which may have a political sway in the upcoming Haiti elections ?

I hope this doesn't turn out to be just another Political tug-a-war at the expense of the Haitian People and the future of Haiti.

LOL maybe Sean should run for Prez. I'm sure he'll get lots of support from his Tio Hugo-a-go-go.

He´s a new face and not a member of the elite, so he can actually do a lot of good.

ps, Better him then babydoc!!!

wyclef is the only one that can help haiti! he said haitis needs to reform the constitution!!! welcome to the new dominican republic, all the way from port of prince to punta cana!

JarabEcoa & Me Basta you wishhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

The wise thing for Sean Penn to do is to remain quite and neutral as to his political leanings and focus on assisting the victims of the earthquake. He has done a good job so far.

.....is there no one that has a little class and integrity and brains and leadership

ARE WE SPEAKING ABOUT HAITI OR THE DR?

if Sean Penn is stating this there must be some truth to it. It's known that he has spent several months in Haiti helping out the victims. So he must have first hand knowledge as well as opinion from the real sources, remember the best way to manage a crisis is to have fist hand experience then you can make some strategic goals for the future. I think Wycleff wants to help but we all know he has spent most of his time in the US. remember you've got to be in it to win it!! What Haiti needs right now is a leader who will take charge of the situation at hand. Changing the constitution is the right thing but know is not the time. For the next 10 years what's important is to see the aid and funds coming in are being well spent. If you try to do too many things at once, some will be forgotten I say rebuild and then reform once there is order.

Zooma,
Sean the bad boy crusader of Hollyrock with the.......look at me mentality.
I wonder what needy cause Sean came to the rescue prior to the Haitian earthquake being Venezuela does not count.

Jcl_67,
I'm lost here, please help.....did Sean spend several months in Haiti playing doctor, feeding the hungry, helping build homes, teaching survival skills or living and eating among the Haitians to get that down to earth feeling of whats going on in Haiti or just come around to take photos and give out autographs like most with the "Hey man look at me".

Please enlighten us here on DT.

Sean don't waste you time and $$$$$ the Haitian will never vote for a white man to be their president.

SunshineState,
I hate saying this, but......

What a better way to stay in the publics / worlds eye by supporting a worthy cause at the expense to those your claiming to help, the ol street pimp way.

I'm sure his publist and agent are waiting for that phone to ring any minute now for that new movie role deal, also I bet his biggest fan Tio Hugo-a-go-go must be thrilled.

Which reminds me "Theres no buisness like show buisness, its the only buisness most rich and famous folks who wanna stay rich and famous know"

By the way does anybody know what ever happened to Jolie's Haitian adventure or was it just a hit 'n' run ?

I hope this post wakens the human hearts / spirits of those reading DT and pushes them into action.

GOD save Haiti.

yo riosm,

Here is the link so you can read for yourself before you go out speaking on what you don't know.
He gave up a role on his next film to give support to the Haitian people, something I don't see others doing. He is also running a camp for 50,000 survivors of the earthquake called "Camp Penn" I seriously don't think Sean Penn needs the publicity the guy has a lot of under his belt as far as acting is concerned. Maybe he reached a point in his life where he has realized that money doesn't make you happy but instead when you give and make someone else who is less fortunate happy, is what counts and what fills you with joy and satisfaction

http://www.vanityfair.com/online/....-with-sean-penn-humanitarian.html

Simple things go a long way riosm, you can donate clothes, send food, or maybe even write a check to red cross for Haiti. So I hope I've enlightened you and maybe even hear that you made a contribution to the crisis in Haiti.

The U.S. military, it turns out, are among Penn’s strongest supporters. “My politics are not in line with Sean Penn’s,” states Major General Simeon Trombitas, a frequent guest at J/P HRO compound. “But we are allied in trying to save lives and alleviate human suffering. He is a doer and not a talker...and I respect that immensely.” Lieutenant General P. K. Keen, deputy commander of the U.S. Southern Command, concurs: “In a humanitarian crisis you can be a neutral—always pinching your knuckles white. Or you can operate an NGO the way Mr. Penn does.… He intuitively knew how to both work with the U.N. and break its bureaucracy down.... I applaud the leadership he has shown. He doesn’t have to do this.”

Says Penn of Keen, recalling a recent ceremony at which the general bestowed several commendations on Penn for his Haitian crisis work: “Keen gave me this look in the eye—a look of pride. It meant more to me than any movie award.”

That's great ! MY BAD thanks for the web-site I just saw it and was moved. Now why havn't the world press reported this ? I never heard of his action I rode Sean off years ago.....I will email Camp Penn and do what I can to help and will pass his web-site around.
There is hope for Haiti.

Hellborn,
I'm not and will never be a fan of Sean, let's give credit where credit is due.
I will never never agree with Sean's socialist views, what really struck me odd was those pictures and video that were taken with the 3 star general in all the look on Seans face is one of hate and distrust with the I'm better then you look what I'm doing on his face which I'm sure Seans Tio Hugo-a-go-go is thrilled.
Leaves one to wondering.
1. If Sean's so well loved in Haiti then why pack a GLOCK ?
2. What will be Sean's socialistic inprint on those he's serving ?
3. Why did sean pick that perticulor area, one of many hard hit areas, near a private country club ?
4. Prior to the Venezuelian visit wheres Sean's track record helping the needy ?
5. Why did sean name it CAMP PENN is he trying to make a political statement or a name for himself ?
6. That taped video was 100% Sean giving orders showing he's in charge and in control.
more......

Hellborn,
more.....
7. Is Sean trying to pass influence ?

Something doesn't feel right and I can't put my thumb on it.....any ideas ?

I will continue to help and support the Haitian People, which the American red cross being a bulk of aide given.

1. If Sean's so well loved in Haiti then why pack a GLOCK ?= Gangs rule there not the Gov.

Basta,
If you think for a moment this guy is not flanked by armed security guards once he steps out of CAMP PENN and never travels alone even within the compound of 50,000...........c'mon its a personal weapon for self protection I'm also willing to bet he never sleeps in the same spot twice hut hoping, one has to ask from whom or what ?

Riosm,

obviously, the thugs and ganglords would rather kidnap SP for all he's got if given half a chance, so I understand the Glock part.

As to his real motivations, who knows: man's motor runs on love (sex), money and glory. He's already got all three, so maybe he's for real and finds higher moral gratifications. Or maybe only love without sex.

Walterpolo,
Good point made, but may I add.

I just have a akward feeling about SP's motives, to me it looks like one big massive social experimental model program to me.

Haiti has had needs pre earthquake needs only now 10X, it's like as if to show the world the idea of giving to the 'now cause' thus becoming a dependent Haiti not self dependent.

I would like to see the future plans of an Haiti where self ruled, reliant and dependent if any, the problem as I see it is giving, giving and more giving equals dependentcy with a justified cause.

The media is great on showing only what they want you to see and hear.

I'm reminded of the old saying again.....

"Give a man fish he eats for a day thus becoming DEPENDENT, teach a man to fish he then becomes SELF DEPENDENT".

I only wish the best for Haitian People after all we do share the same Island, what effects one effects us all in the long run, only time will tell where motives become clear.

Poor Haiti

At first I assume this was simply a publicity stunt, but it turn out Clef is the presidential candidate for the political party of the ex- president of the Haitian lower house of parliament. A very Machiavellian choice for this click, Sad for Haiti. Funny Mr Erick Jean Jacques could not have the balls to bring him self as the candidate of his party for he knows full well the mass would never votes for him or his like, when his son tried to run for Mayor of Petion-Ville not even those that drink with him at his political head quarter voted for him. Sad because if this clown can over come all the constitutional hurdles and run, due to his stardom which will eclipse the more serious candidates he can win and heaven help us . This guy could not even run a TV station (Telemax) which he bought in Haiti five years ago let alone the country.

All should see the CNN Wolf Blitzer's interview with SP a war of words.
At the way things are going POOR HAITI.

Riosm, rumor are saying that he's US choice... I woudn't be surprised,

They need EL JEFE to straighten their asses:

IRS Hits Wyclef With $2.1 Million In Tax Liens
Haitian presidential candidate owes for 1040 returns

Wyclef Jean, who appears ready to announce his candidacy for Haiti’s presidency, owes the Internal Revenue Service more than $2.1 million, according to federal tax liens filed against the musician,
n May, the IRS filed a $724,332 tax lien against Jean. Last July, the agency filed a $599,167 lien against the performer. And a $792,269 lien was lodged against Jean in July 2007. The liens cover taxes due on Jean’s individual 1040 returns for 2006, 2007 and 2008. Copies of the liens, which were filed at the Bergen County clerk’s office in New Jersey, can be viewed at left.

riosm the last thing haiti needs is two hollywood entertainers tryng to save haiti . haiti needs leaders to step up and take command of haiti . not rappers and actors who want to be in the camera angle all the time so they could get there kudos its a joke there have to be somebody in haiti who could be that leader who could lead the country in the right direction , sadly what we have now are a circus show of entertainers who are having a war of words on haiti problems.

Hellborn,
Your 100% right I agree.
But......that interview with CNN SP exposes himself as a closet socialist, SP trying to be the 'GREAT WHITE HOPE" of Haiti.

An outsider trying to sway Haitian Politics ?

When you get a chance see that video interview with the 3 star General SP's body language, additude speaks for it's self, I was waiting for the General to spank the Hollybrat.

And to think I saw Hugo-a-go-go's puppet in action, looks like Hugo can sure count on SP.

I could see it now........Clinton, LF and SP going for the Nobel Peace Prize award.

Incognito,
Under Prez. Oh'No i would not be surprized one bit.

The sun must have fried your brain moron.

Jarabacoa .tu P... madre!!

Mejor muerto que Haitiano!!

Whether it is Penn or anyone else..., well known or totally unknown...
Hey..., it could have been Bono, Paul McCartny, ........
One who does something to help, no matter how small or how big, (natural logic leads to deal with one realistic project instead of getting lost at sea)..., directly in the country or from abroad, does more than the person who just writes about it and judges...
Wyclef Jean....? Well, with all respect if some of you are from California... Everybody thought it was a joke when Schwarzengger went into poitics!!!
However, with 37 candidates, the problem is major. Nobody will get a true LEADERSHIP majority.
I may be dreaming a vision... If elections become a total chaos with no obvious majority leadership, there may be a request for an "international government" supervision led by Mrs. Michaelle Jean (former Governor General of Canada), just named at UN.

Wyclef Jean ....send in the clown

I think at this particular time in the history of Haiti , they need a good professional administrator and not an actor, a singer or a failed politician ..someone who has been involved with administration of large scale civil projects and with dealing with regulations and constitutions and conflicting points of view . Further down the track Haiti can go in for a more colourful approach but now is not the time .
As it is possible that no professional is willing to take over the post , I would prefer that Haiti accept a proven administrator appointed by the UN or by donor nations for a period of 5 years . I think the world would have confidence in that .

Ricardolito,
I do agree with you in part but the UN appointing a leader ?
with the UN's track record of always too little too late.
I believe the key is Haitians must choose their own destiny and strive towards being self dependent.
Take care.

pepe, dont be so burro! dominicans wont be haitians like before, haitians will be dominicans! if you cant beat them, join them!

Hey, I support wycleff jean, no experience no problem ask Obamatron5000 he didn't know jack about being presidente and look at him now.

Another haitians i will support IF they run are: mary j blige , Lauryn Hill and los paymasi.

Sean Penn should be president.

Sean Penn should be president......of Venezuela

Well, lets see! Since independence Haiti has been the garbage dump of the western hemisphere and non of the past politicians have been able to change that. Haiti will continue to be a garabe dump is lead by the status quo politicians, so if I was a haitain this would be a no brainer. Give Wyclef a chance i'm sure he can't do no worse that his predecessors

Wasnt Ronald Reagan the president of the USA?????....................and a former Hollywood actor.......a lousy one............voted in as president by the voters who knows best in this world?????

Tony Tom Tom,
SP the 'great white hope' as president, Hugo upon hearing that news will pat himself on the back and say 'well job done, I've done'.
SP's work is only living proof the private sector can do a better job with aide then Gov. regulated / controled aide thats all.

I can only wonder how many other private orginizations / persons are just as effective in Haiti minus the press......hey ! maybe SP will make a movie in the future about himself and his greatness.

Not all looks as it seems.

Old_School_Trinitario,
Wyclef as president, but why not Haiti is so low the way to go is up.

Blutarsky,
SP would win by mud slide....
I have still yet to see and have to ask whats the figures invested I mean donated, whats his real returns I mean motives, long haul or hit 'n' run, helping or politics and to think the best things in life are free as in FREEDOM......only time will tell.

what did Sean Penn expect did he expect the man come toward him and says you know what ok im gonna give you a couple of million, yo listen wyclef has a bureau, he has people to work for him to help he is ot gonna stay on the ground throwing stuff to the people, no stuff don't work like that Penn, I respect you for what you've done for Haiti man but Wyclef being doing good stuff for Haiti since day one i understand the man don have political back ground, don have any experience, but listen during this next four years we don need a political leader we need someone that can help and do good, because politic Kill, Look at The Dominican's president he is doing good, cause he got heart for his country, but what the political leaders are doing critics, while he is very smart, and creative. F... what everybody say our ambition is to take the Haiti from the mid 90s back because this time no other country in this caribean was better than us this time. Let the man try his best...

On a serious note this is the guy I'm backing.

http://www.Facebook.com/group.php?gid=112499135857

Why is everyone so against Wyclef Jean? I don't think he would be a bad president. He seems like he really cares for Haiti.

i will vote for wyclef, wait, im dominican..can i still vote in haiti? lol soon haitians/dominicans will vote for the same president! pepe will be driving the metro from sto.domingo to port of prince lol

Misshaiti,
One has to ask why would Sean P. smear Wyclef on [international t.v.] CNN, seems to me SP exposed himself by stepping into the political realm.

Motive motive motive will help explain why SP is in such a caring giving state.....

If possible I would love to hear from Haitians who post on DT and get their gut reaction on all this.

I wish the best for the Haitian people.

PatDimond,
The perfect choice for Haiti........I'll like to see SP try to smear him.

Mr. Penn,


Mighity White of you.
It is his country not yours and the people of Haiti will decide. Alleged not convicted.

miss haiti ..I am sure that Wyclef Jean is desperate to assist his country ,But I would like to take you back to the devastation of New Orleans a few years ago by Hurricane Katrina and how that city has been rebuilt within four years . To do that rebuilding , required a type of skill and professionalism that I doubt if Wycliff Jean has and I think that Haiti desperately needs someone who can rebuild Haiti like New Orleans was rebuilt . I do not know if such a Haitian exists but if he or she does , then that is the type of person that is needed .

Ricardolito,
My friend one has to start somewhere or with luck a person with carpenter with SKILLS, a person whos an ECONOMIST, a person of FAITH, a person with VISION, a person of WISDOM, a person of HONOR, a person with no GREED, a person who has lead in the past by EXAMLPE, a person with COURAGE, a person with KNOWLEDGE, a person of MORALS, a person not SELFSERVING, a person who speaks the TRUTH all the time, a LOVING and truely CARING person etc..etc..etc.. a real nobody all rolled up in one, now can anybody think of such a person ?

riosm except for you and me NO

Jarabacoa is as Dominican as Boyer!!

Ricadolito,
Lets hope the Haitian People look for those same qualitys mentioned in there future President that will lead them OUT not IN.
Take care.

they should both get together and build resorts in haiti so that they can bring money into the country and rebuild it.

i just dont trust neither of those guys and i cant understand what happen the money that was suppose to go to haiti in the first place ..i wanted to give more but thank God i only donated $5 cause i had a feeling somithing like this was going to happen..

Bill Clinton should run for president in haiti

ChRISSY051,
First let me welcome to DT, I'm sure I speak for many.

There will always be people who will take advantege of situations and pocket monies raised for any cause, your best bet is to go direct the American red cross.

The Haitians must vote who they believe is the best choice for president not advice from outsiders. On my secound to last post I listed qualitys of what I believe would make a perfect Haitian leader.

IN MY OPINION SP should of helped orginizations already established in Haiti prior to the quake then reinvent the wheel with his own personal political twist.

Not to judge for who am I........I have more respect for a man with little who donates heart and soul with a Humanitarian spirit then a man with fame, riches and popularity who donates for the mier blurred self image of himself. I'll let the seekers of truth decide on that one.

Take care.

riosm

SP should be commended for going into the lions lair. He couldve written a check and be done with it. 50000 people is a small city. Unlike the red cross how much of every dollar donated actually make it to the people.

Iganoranceisbliss,
Your right a big fat check or why not donate then manage food, drinking water, medicine, tents, building materials etc..etc.. distribution instead.......never mind a converted private country club, what not enough slums ?
The American red cross goes way back and has been assisting nations from both man and nature made catastrophes.
Again from what I know about SP one has to question whats his hidden agenda, It seems to me he's just trying to prove a point as if to make a political statement.
Long term or a hit 'n' run, only time will tell lets all hope the people of Haiti benefit not just for the now, but benefit and prosper for the long term to avoid a repeat of pre quake Haiti.

Oh okay then.

Hello again! I agree 100% with Sean Penn. This guy , The Singer, would do nothing but worsen the conditions of such suffering nation. What this country needs is a reliable candidate ( Though they all promise and promise but do nothing then). I just call it Oportunism. I don't know anything about this singer. I've never heard of him, here in Europe but I'd suggest to him to carry on with his music and, if he wants to do sth for his country, just finance the construction of a school, hospital or anything that could help ease the future of these people. Haitians are hardworking people so invest or give sth away ( the Singer) in the country to keep them going, without having to migrate to Dominican Rep. where most them adquire but influence from booming Dominicana compare with Haiti, of course. Hasta luego paisanos.
