Medical indemnity insurance, also known as medical malpractice insurance, is a specialized policy that provides coverage to healthcare professionals against legal claims arising from alleged negligence, errors, or omissions in treatment.

The New York Times covers the 1825 Haitian indemnity issue, historians (and others) respond

As many of you are most likely aware by now, last week, the New York Times published a series of articles dealing with the 1825 Haitian indemnity to France and its impact on the country’s overall economic development in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.  The piece, which the Times alleges was carried in close collaboration with historians, economists and other specialists of Haiti, comes as a surprise given the publication’s often dismissive tone when discussing Haitian history and current affairs.

While it does include some inaccuracies (the presentation of former president Jean-Pierre Boyer [1818-1843] as a more “progressive” leader than he was for instance) and oversimplification (the period of the Duvalier regime [1957-1986], for instance, should perhaps have been dealt with in greater details as it presents a grave example of the Haitian state’s corruption), the articles are very much worth a read.

While the English version of the series seems to be behind a paywall (the articles can also be found in French and Haitian Creole), they should be accessible through most public libraries.

Beyond the Time’s pieces, as some historians have mentioned, one must wonder why and why now would there be this particular interest in Haiti at the New York Times.

In any case, here are the articles in question:

“HAITI’S LOST BILLIONS”; 

“The Root of Haiti’s Misery: Reparations to Enslavers”; 

“How a French Bank Captured Haiti”; 

“Invade Haiti, Wall Street Urged. The US Obliged”; 

“Demanding Reparations, and Ending Up in Exile.” 

Here are different responses from historians and other popular publications regarding these articles:

“Historians Are Mad at the New York Times, Again. Should They Be?”;

“The New York Times Corrects Lousy Haiti Coverage in … The New York Times”;

“The Times, Haiti, and the treacherous bridge linking history and journalism”;

“Rançon française :  New York Times a rendu un service important en estimant les pertes d'Haïti entre 21 et 115 milliards de dollars, estime Jonathan M. Katz”;

“The New York Times is Wrong About Haiti.”

Linda Feher: This is the very core of the Moon empire. What Hyung Jin says about his family and all blessed families being “Zero. Nothing.” is the core of their misunderstanding of God and humanity. They believe that the only value they have, or that blessed families have, comes from Sun Myung Moon. That kind of thinking stems from the idea that Moon is greater then God. Moon even said as much when he bragged “Even God bows down to me.”

But the truth of the matter is that God’s love, mercy, forgiveness, his grace, the value he places on all of us is greater then a trillion, trillion Moons. The more people buy into “Moon is our only hope” the farther away from God’s truth they get. Everything about Moon’s restoration theology is anti-God because it denies that God’s love and salvation are unconditional. The only thing it costs is your faith.

The Moons created a false ideology of indemnity. Indemnity theology burdens you with a never ending fear that if you don’t pay up you can never be with the Moons in heaven – which is equal to ‘if you don’t pay up you can never be with God’. It is anti-Christ deep down to its very sad core.  

“The King Reigns Forever” Hyung Jin Moon sermon, March 15, 2015

Hyung Jin: “You see, I am not ashamed of True Father’s Six Marys. I am not ashamed of ceremonies. I am not ashamed of True Parents not having a happy marriage.”

And later in the same sermon … “I said “Mother, please, … If you say Father has fallen blood lineage, that means you are not pure. That means you, as True Mother are a fake. If Father has fallen blood lineage, and he doesn’t have the seed of God, then you are a fallen Mother. That is what it means. And it means all the children that you bled to bear are all fake. And all the blessed families in the world, all the Central Blessed Families are all a big hoax. If Father does not have the seed of God, and bring the lineage of God as the messiah, then we are all nothing before heaven.

And nobody wants to tell her that. Nobody wants to tell her.”

Tail Raising Episode in the Orient

May 16th, 1901

The deacon 'European Nations' requests a church donation from China at gunpoint. A sign on the wall reads ‘The lord loveth a cheerful giver.’ China pays with Taels, as his queue shoots into the air.

Contemporary news accounts relate that China had agreed to pay a large war indemnity after the Boxer Rebellion.

So this is @emilygegendiewelt‘s real late birthday present, featuring characters from a tv show i’m developing. If you wanna see more of this and other projects, I started a blog for all that: @schlichtingandco!

Now was not the time for her stubbornness. It could put them all in danger. She knew that. She knew she was putting them all at risk. Eloise Blue, she told herself, you’re their Euadne, a General of the Western Tribes. You have to be impenetrable, indefatigable, unconquerable.

She felt miserable.
