HYC - Hydrocarbons and HYT - Hydrothermal deposits throughout Haiti. One of the poorest nations on Earth sitting on 1.5 trillion barrels of Black Gold.

There is evidence that the United States found oil in Haiti decades ago and due to the geopolitical circumstances and big business interests of that era made the decision to keep Haitian oil in reserve for when Middle Eastern oil had dried up. This is detailed by Dr. Georges Michel in an article dated March 27, 2004 outlining the history of oil explorations and oil reserves in Haiti and in the research of Dr. Ginette and Daniel Mathurin.

There is also evidence that these very same big US oil companies and their inter-related monopolies of engineering and defense contractors made plans, decades ago, to use Haiti’s deep water ports either for oil refineries or to develop oil tank farm sites or depots where crude oil could be stored and later transferred to small tankers to serve U.S. and Caribbean ports. This is detailed in a paper about the Dunn Plantation at Fort Liberte in Haiti.

In Haiti, between 1994 to 2004 when the people had a voice in government, there was an intense grassroots movement to figure out how to exploit Haiti’s resources. There was a plan, where in the book “Investing In People: Lavalas White Book under the direction of Jean-Betrand Aristide (Investir Dans L’Humain), the Haitian majority “were not only told where the resources were, but that — they did not have the skills and technology to actually extract the gold, to extract the oil.” In 2004 the US kidnapped Jean-Betrand Aristide and is escorted on a US-charted jet to the Central African Republic. Aristide, his wife Mildred and his brother-in-law are taken at gunpoint by US soldiers to the airport. Aristide is warned by US diplomat Luis Moreno that if he does not leave Haiti, thousands of Haitians would die and rebel leader Guy Philippe would attack the palace and kill him. Moreover, the US warns Aristide that they are withdrawing his US-provided security. The US orchestrated a coup to prevent the Haitian people from knowing that they own huge reserves of oil.

The US has only recently constructed its fifth largest embassy in the world - fifth only besides the US embassy in China, Iraq, Iran and Germany - in tiny Haiti.

Within a C-SPAN coverage of the Energy Commission, aired June 10, 2008, four US Congressmen were televised talking to each other about how there is 1.5 trillion barrels of oil/gas off the shores of the US. Reportedly, they did not give the EXACT location of where this 1.5 trillion oil/gas reserves is. So, could it be in Haiti?

At the beginning of 20th century, the physical and political card of the Island of Haiti, drawn up in 1908 by Mr. Alexandre Poujol and Henry Thomasset, announced a significant oil reservoir in Haiti in the vicinity of source of Rio Todo El Mondo, Affluent of right-hand side of the river Artibonite, more known today under the name of Rivière of Thomonde. According to the geological study there are many places in Haiti and the Dominican Republic which present all the criteria geologic of presence of THE BLACK GOLD in Haiti ~ la plaine des Cayes, la plaine de Léogane, la plaine du Cul-de-Sac, la plaine des Gonaïves et la Savane désolée, la Plaine du Nord. The Island of Gonâve and literal correspondents for the layers offshore oil rig. In this list, one should not forget the large sedimentary basin of Plateau Central.

In the Fifties, the Knappen-Tippen-Abbet Company had carried out drillings in Gonâve, in plain of plaine de Cul-de-Sac, Plateau-Central and in the area of Gonaïves. All of these drillings had proved extremely promising and the results were beyond expectations. However, the big multinational oil companies operating in Haiti pushed for the discovered deposits not to be exploited.

The Haitian OIL was to be kept a secret for when the Middle Eastern supplies are depleted. That is exactly what is happening. The wells of Knappen-Tippen-Abbet were numbered, carefully padlocked, or sealed with cement and forgotten.

These oil deposits were not to be made public to the Haitians. The US and other superpowers do not want Haiti to become a powerful nation. The exploitation of these Oil Reservoirs would remove Haiti from the poorest Nation’s list in the Western hemisphere.

In their dramatic search for oil, the Cubans developed a technology and a know-how of which the Haitian people could, in exchange of their services, offer to the Cubans part of the national oil production and give them a share of profits. The US is now pouring 10,000 US Marines into Haiti, not for humanitarian aid but to safeguard their interests in the 1.5 trillion barrels of oil/gas that belongs to the impoverished Haitian people.
