Iridium and Haiti
https://www.metalsupermarkets.com/costliest-metals/
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IridiumAs of July 2022, these are the five most expensive metals:
Rhodium (Rh) – $15,250/troy ounce
Iridium (Ir) – $4,750/troy ounce
Palladium (Pd) – $2,027/troy ounce
Gold (Au) – $1,723.55/troy ounce
Platinum – $889/troy ounce
Iridium is a chemical element with the symbol Ir and atomic number 77. A very hard, brittle, silvery-white transition metal of the platinum group, it is considered the second-densest naturally occurring metal (after osmium) with a density of 22.56 g/cm3 (0.815 lb/cu in) as defined by experimental X-ray crystallography.[a] It is one of the most corrosion-resistant metals, even at temperatures as high as 2,000 °C (3,630 °F). However, corrosion-resistance is not quantifiable in absolute terms; although only certain molten salts and halogens are corrosive to solid iridium, finely divided iridium dust is much more reactive and can be flammable, whereas gold dust is not flammable but can be attacked by substances that iridium resists, such as aqua regia.Iridium is one of the nine least abundant stable elements in Earth's crust, having an average mass fraction of 0.001 ppm in crustal rock; platinum is 10 times more abundant, gold is 40 times more abundant, and silver and mercury are 80 times more abundanthttps://haitiliberte.com/haiti-has-t...dium-deposits/The main areas of use of iridium are electrodes for producing chlorine and other aggressive products, OLEDs, crucibles, catalysts (e.g. acetic acid), and ignition tips for spark plugs

https://jamaica-gleaner.com/article/...lness-declaresHaiti’s newly installed prime minister, Laurent Lamothe, is also supportive. Lamothe, whose slogan is “Haiti is open for business,” has pledged to make mining one of the country’s new growth industries and to change laws in order to make them more business-friendly.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-npJhJkYG8#t=1m20sPrime Minister Andrew Holness today declared that under his leadership "not one inch of Jamaica will come under any other sovereign authority", dismissing the rhetoric of the Accompong Maroons that they are a sovereign people.
(Just skip to 1:20)
In my opinion: P.M. A. Hol. wants to illegally allow external miners on to the land that belongs to the Maroons. Then allow 99.999% benefits of any mining to go oversees and that will not help our economy much (0.01% maybe). Benefits will not go to Jamaicans, just like how Jamaicans are greatly benefiting from the taxes we have been paying.
I work with current rules and current goal posts for the interest of peace. If it is the rule that anything Europeans piss on is theirs then Fine! So be it. On that basis, the land belongs to the Maroons under global pissing law.
PS I have googled hard and found no article or video where any Maroon heads ask for any tax payer's money
PS Maroon heads often use the word peace while P.M. A. Hol. uses the words "guerilla war"in his short speech
Back to Haiti.
Haiti has so much resources and yet are so poor
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_debt_of_Haiti
The external debt of Haiti is a notable and controversial national debt which mostly stems from an outstanding 1825 compensation to former slavers of the French colonial empire and later 20th century's corruptions.It is a crime to fight for your freedom from slavery, of course.Haiti must repay the French government and former slaveholders the modern equivalent of US$105 billion, later reduced to US$21 billion for the loss of massively profitable slave-plantations assets and revenues.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economy_of_Haiti
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...ation_of_HaitiHaiti is a developing country with low labor costs. A republic, it was a French colony before gaining independence in an uprising by its enslaved people. It faced embargoes and isolation after its independence as well as political crises punctuated by foreign interventions and devastating natural disasters. Haiti's estimated population in 2018 was 11,439,646. The Economist reported in 2010: "Long known as the poorest country in the Western hemisphere, Haiti has stumbled from one crisis to another since the Duvalier (François Duvalier) years."
History crash course must watch:The United States occupation of Haiti began on July 28, 1915, when 330 U.S. Marines landed at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, after the National City Bank of New York convinced the President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, to take control of Haiti's political and financial interests.

Yes there is violence in Haiti, but the people collectively want the new Prime Minister over there to step down. What is the intent to send soldiers over there? Black men are generally and relatively peaceful, relative to ...Prime Minister Andrew Holness has confirmed that Jamaica remains committed to sending troops to Haiti as part of attempts to bring stability to the French capital Port-au-Prince, which is overrun with gang violence.. Google wars in Europe. Google the term Scamble for Africa a term Europeans coined for how they behave. How do you envision peace in Haiti now. How often have soldiers from another country ever helped civilians in the invaded country.

July 18, 2023
Twenty-nine Haitians who recently arrived in Jamaica are to be deported to their homeland after being charged with illegal entry and placed before the court.Given we know there is a high amount of violence at the same time. Are our heads really concerned with the well being of Haitians?The 24 men and five women were fined $7,000 or three days of hard labour each.
The police say arrangements are being made by the Passport, Immigration and Citizenship Agency to have them returned to Haiti.
