My sources for the preamble come mostly from here, here, and here.
The thread image depicts Kenyan police, trained by the Zionist entity, in a meeting with President Ruto before being sent to Haiti, sourced from this article.
As has been planned for the last couple years, foreign police officers have been inside Haiti for a few months now. It will surprise nobody to learn that this has not gone very well. Gangs continue to control much of the country, and violence has continued in the form of massacres and forced relocations (approximately 1.3 million). Something like 80% of the capital, Port-au-Prince, is under the control of one gang or another.
The aim by the US was to import 2500 police officers to Haiti from a wide variety of countries. One of those was Kenya; President Ruto had to fight his own country's courts to force this through, and ironically is now apparently considering withdrawing those officers once the UN mandate expires on October 2nd. The issue here is not only the limited manpower (Haiti has a population of 12 million), but also very pedestrian things, like the fact that the officers who arrive don't even speak the language.
The situation in Haiti appears to be a fairly standard operation of American national control, in which both battling sides are being supported by the US in order to create maximum disorganization and prevent a coherent political force from arising and thus threatening their Caribbean interests. While the US funds foreign forces to arrive in Haiti to "control the situation" or similar justifications, the Haitian gangs get their weapons smuggled in from the US itself. That this is happening alongside escalations against Venezuela is obviously not a coincidence - in a world in which American interests are being gradually shrugged off, and where the American state military is becoming rapidly more impotent and unable to dissuade and defeat even tiny states like Yemen, total imperial dominion of their immediate surrounding territory must be ensured by any means necessary.
The police and the gangs are likely designed to be mutually reinforcing, without even much kayfabe of fighting each other. As an example, once the Kenyan police arrived, they immediately began brutalizing anti-government protestors instead of focussing on gang activity. They were trained by the Zionist entity, after all.

Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
Simplicius, who publishes on Substack. Like others, his political analysis should be soundly ignored, but his knowledge of weaponry and military strategy is generally quite good.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Danish Regime Appoints Islamophobic Hardliner As Head Of State Racism
Mette Frederiksen, Denmark's iron-fisted leader, has appointed the xenophobic firebrand Rasmus Stoklund as head of the Nordic hermit kingdom's Social Democrat-controlled Ministry of Integration which is in charge of executing the American vassal state's policy of state racism.

The move threatens to further deteriorate the human rights situation for the nation's Muslim and non-white minorities. Stoklund is one of the Social Democratic party's most openly racist figures, infamous for comparing refugees to "weeds" that must be removed. He has also called for revoking the human rights of refugees to allow deportations to countries where they face torture and prosecution. Shortly after his appointment, he declared that Denmark has "significant integration problems with people who simply behave horribly," adding that "even though they have had all opportunities in Danish society there is trouble with too many of those who have come from The Greater Middle East."
The appointment is a transparent attempt to claw back voters defecting to the surging, fascist Danish People’s Party. Since gaining power in a flawed 2022 election, the regime has failed to address the escalating cost-of-living crisis and spiraling prices for food and energy. Instead, it has funneled astronomical sums into a military buildup, ignoring the plight of its civilian population. The deteriorating material conditions has made the regime and the Social Democratic party increasingly unpopular, leading voters to drift to the fascists.
For decades the Social Democrats have pursued a policy of close alignment with the Danish People's Party and going to great lengths not to be perceived as less racist than the fascists. Despite being thoroughly bureaucratised, the Social Democrats still perceive themselves as a workers' party but lacking any serious class analysis they bastardise the concept of the working class into an incoherent mess of job tiles, educational achievement and cultural preferences. Out of this hodgepodge comes an idea of the working class as overall-wearing racist simpletons. This results in policies that prioritise performative cruelty to minorites over winning material improvements for the people they claim to support — a convenient approach that also avoids challenging big capital or diverting funds from militarization.
The regime has agreed to hold elections within the next 13 months.
