Blogger reports questionable UN actions in Haiti
Blogger Kathryn Cramer has uncovered an incredible story about a
U.S.-expat owned company allegedly spying, undermining democracy, and
detaining whistleblowers in Haiti. She says the company is
providing covert surveillance at Haiti’s presidential debates, in the
form of operatives disguised as reporters. And she says the U.N. is
aware of this and shows a U.N. PowerPoint referencing
the company and their actions on her blog.
