There is this whole banking history thing going on..............


In the 20th century, the U.S. asserted itself as the dominant power in its “backyard.” In 1915 it invaded and occupied Haiti. U.S. Marines went straight to the Haitian national bank and removed its gold reserves to Citibank in New York City. The Haitian constitution was rewritten to allow foreign ownership of Haitian property; land was seized from small peasants to create large plantations;⁶ the economy was reorganized so that 40% of Haiti’s gross domestic product flowed to U.S. banks.⁷
