Gilbert Bigio: Israel’s Man in Haiti and the Architect Behind the US Migrant Crisis

Mint Press| October 4, 2024

n December 2022, Canada imposed strict sanctions on Gilbert Bigio, frequently referred to as “Haiti’s only billionaire” and the deeply impoverished country’s “richest man.” He, along with two other super-wealthy Haitian citizens, was accused by Ottowa of using his outsized influence and power in the country “to protect and enable the illegal activities of the armed criminal gangs” that have been tearing Port-au-Prince apart for years. Since then, Bigio has remained at liberty and unpunished – meanwhile, Haiti has slid ever further into catastrophe.

Markedly, no other Western country – notably the sanctions-happy U.S. – followed Canada’s lead. While wave upon wave of UN-mandated peacekeepers from every corner of the world have been deployed to Haiti in recent years, they have been unable to quell  – and often exacerbated – the violence that has left the country without a functioning state or civil society. Kenya, currently leading an international “anti-gang” initiative in Port-au-Prince, recently called for the effort to be transformed into a dedicated U.N. peacekeeping operation.

For his part, Latin American & Caribbean Studies Professor Danny Shaw has zero doubt that Bigio and others like him are fundamentally responsible for encouraging and facilitating Haiti’s collapse. He tells MintPress News, “Only a tiny, well-connected clique of white warlords completely isolated from the needs and reality of the 99.9% of the Haitian population has the necessary private airports, ports and border contacts to smuggle guns and other contraband objects into the country.”

That the arms have kept flowing all along, and no action has been taken to neutralize the international criminal networks operated by Bigio, undergirding that influx, tends to suggest the tycoon’s illicit activities are actively, if quietly permitted by powerful elements within Western governments. As we shall see, Israel may lie at the forefront of Bigio’s international protection racket. Comprehending how he furthers Israel’s interests in Haiti and the wider region may be crucial to understanding how Tel Aviv’s tendrils extend elsewhere overseas.

  1. “He, along with two other super-wealthy Haitian citizens, was accused by Ottowa of using his outsized influence and power in the country “to protect and enable the illegal activities of the armed criminal gangs” that have been tearing Port-au-Prince apart for years.”

    The same play book is used against the Black community in the United States. The government deliberately gives Black gang members guns and drugs so they can fight with one another and keep the Black neighborhoods destabilized and in a state of fear. The mortuaries also make a ton of money from dead Blacks, both gang members and innocent bystanders.

    The police contain the violence within the Black areas, and every now and then arrest a few and send them to prison so they can used in the prison industrial complex. But others are let back out onto the street so they can cause more chaos. I’ve said for years that the Black street gangs and US government are allies, the same way the US government is allied with the drug cartels.

    • The movie American Gangster is illustrative of how the Denzel character teamed up with the Mafia and corrupt police for protection, and individuals inside the military to bring drug products into the US. The whole system portrayed seemed highly implausible – short of epic corruption.

      This high margin trade needs manufactured customers. The whites in turn are also victimized and destabilized with the fentanyl racket where once again Jewish interests were insulated from prosecution let alone enforcement.

  2. Omg it means, just like Iwo Jima 2.0, Haitians eating cats in Springfield was a contrived psyop to fool the goyem into voting in the chabad orangeman.

  3. Russ, thank you for your stupendous work. Your writings are excellent. It’s rough being a genius in this chaotic world
