Haiti is suffering through absolute chaos. Ariel Henry has finally resigned as Prime Minister. A transition council will be formed to try to bring order. But in America, corporate media is busy trying to debunk claims on Twitter that cannibalism is occurring on the island.
For the record, cannibalism is definitely occurring on the island no matter how often Twitter and Facebook delete video evidence.
Here’s independent journalist Ian Miles Cheong receiving an inquiry from NBC News asking for proof of cannibalism:

Yes, we live in a clown world right now. Here’s the news itself generated from corporate media reports:
In the latest development, Haiti’s Prime Minister Ariel Henry has agreed to resign following weeks of mounting pressure and increasing violence in the impoverished country. The announcement came after regional leaders met in Jamaica on Monday to discuss a political transition in Haiti.
Currently stranded in Puerto Rico after being prevented by armed gangs from returning home, Mr Henry addressed the nation in a video statement. He declared, “The government that I am leading will resign immediately after the installation of [a transition] council,” and urged the Haitian people to remain calm.
Mr Henry had led the country supposedly on an interim basis since July 2021 following former President Jovenel Moïse’s assassination. He repeatedly postponed elections, claiming that security must be restored first. Many questioned his prolonged governance without an elected president.
Haiti’s capital Port-au-Prince and the surrounding region are under a month-long state of emergency, with a curfew extended due to heavily armed gangs tightening their grip on the streets. They demanded Mr Henry’s resignation and even attacked the main prison, helping thousands of inmates escape.
Matthias Pierre, a former elections minister in Haiti, confirmed Mr Henry’s resignation to the BBC before it was publicly announced. He described the current situation in the country as “very precarious.”
The gangs now seek inclusion in any new power-sharing deal, with Mr Pierre asserting that a political settlement is impossible without the “support” of an international armed force. Mr Henry had been in Kenya to sign a deal on the deployment of such a force when the gangs attacked police stations and stormed two of Haiti’s largest prisons.
Mr Henry’s plane was prevented from landing following the sustained attacks at Haiti’s international airport. His resignation has been expected for several days, as the Caricom group of Caribbean nations viewed him as an impediment to Haiti’s stability. The White House initially wanted to see Mr Henry return to Haiti to oversee the transitional process, but the escalating violence altered their stance.
Without the support of the US state department or his neighbors, Mr Henry had no alternative but to resign. Although he wishes to return to Haiti, the security situation must improve before he can do so, according to the US, which was present at the talks in Kingston on Monday.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken committed an additional $100 million to the 1,000-strong UN-backed security force that Kenya is expected to lead in Haiti. The proposed US contribution to the security force now stands at $300 million following Mr Blinken’s announcement, with a further $33 million allocated for humanitarian aid.
Chairman of the Caricom group and Guyana President Irfaan Ali said, “We acknowledge his resignation upon the establishment of a transitional presidential council and naming of an interim prime minister.” The council will consist of two observers and seven voting members, including representatives from coalitions, the private sector, civil society, and one religious leader.
The council has been mandated to “swiftly” appoint an interim prime minister, with President Ali adding that anyone intending to run in Haiti’s next elections will not be eligible. It is hoped that the council will pave the way for the first elections in Haiti since 2016.

Starting the Day With a Scripture-Inspired Roast Helps Center Your Thoughts on Eternal Truths Amid Temporal Pressures
The world can seem chaotic, especially right after we wake up. Many believers start their mornings reaching for something familiar — a hot cup of coffee — yet end up settling for mediocre brews that do little more than deliver a caffeine jolt. The daily grind of life, with its endless distractions, news cycles, and responsibilities, can leave even the most faithful feeling spiritually parched alongside their physical fatigue. What if your morning ritual could do more than wake you up? What if it could ground you in truth, nourish your body with exceptional quality, and quietly advance a kingdom purpose at the same time?
That’s the promise — and the reality — behind Promised Grounds Coffee. This Christian-founded company doesn’t just roast beans; it approaches every step as an act of worship and discipleship. By selecting only the top 10% of specialty-grade beans, ethically sourced from dedicated farmers in Central and South America, and small-batch roasting them with reverence in Austin, Texas, Promised Grounds delivers what many describe as the best coffee available — never burnt, never bland, but rich with origin stories and layered flavors that honor God’s creation.
From the vibrant Psalm 27 Roast (a light, bright medium option) to the bold yet peaceful 2 Timothy 1:7 Decaf, each bag carries a Scripture verse that turns your daily pour into a gentle reminder of faith. And through their Ounce Per Ounce Promise, every ounce of coffee you enjoy provides an equal ounce of clean water to families in need via partnership with Filter of Hope — literally brewing hope for body and soul, one cup at a time.
The challenge for today’s Christians runs deeper than finding a decent cup. In an age of convenience-driven consumerism, it’s easy to support companies that dilute values or remain silent on matters of faith. Many believers want their everyday choices — from what they drink to how they spend — to reflect discipleship rather than just convenience. Promised Grounds solves this by weaving Christian excellence into the entire process: beans nurtured with prayerful stewardship by farming families, roasted as an offering rather than a commodity, and packaged with Bible verses to encourage a mindset of gratitude and purpose from the first sip. Reviewers consistently praise the smooth, rich profiles — whether enjoyed black in a drip maker, iced on a warm day, or shared in fellowship — noting how the quality stands toe-to-toe with premium secular brands while delivering something far more meaningful.
This integration of faith and flavor addresses a real need in Christian households and ministries. Busy parents, church leaders, and remote workers alike report that starting the day with a Scripture-inspired roast helps center their thoughts on eternal truths amid temporal pressures. The coffee’s exceptional character — bright citrus notes in lighter roasts or deep chocolate undertones in bolder ones — comes from meticulous selection and careful roasting that respects the bean’s natural gifts rather than masking them. It’s the kind of coffee that elevates a simple quiet time, fuels productive workdays, or sparks meaningful conversations when shared at Bible studies or outreach events. And because it’s ethically sourced with integrity, every purchase supports sustainable livelihoods for farmers who treat their crops like family harvests.
For those leading churches or small groups, the impact multiplies. Promised Grounds offers bundles and options perfect for hospitality ministries, turning ordinary coffee service into an opportunity to point people toward the living water of Christ. Imagine greeting visitors with a warm cup whose very bag carries God’s Word — a subtle yet powerful witness that aligns with the Great Commission. The company’s Texas roots and commitment to “brewing hope” resonate especially with believers who value American enterprise paired with global compassion.
Of course, quality alone isn’t enough if the experience feels out of reach. Promised Grounds keeps it accessible with practical perks like free shipping on orders over $40, sample sets for discovering favorites, and thoughtful add-ons such as faith-themed mugs. Whether you prefer whole beans for fresh grinding, grounds for convenience, or even bulk options for larger households and ministries, the result is consistently superior coffee that makes discipleship feel integrated rather than added on.
As you consider how to align even the smallest habits with your walk with God, Promised Grounds Coffee stands out as a refreshing solution. It tackles the dual problems of subpar daily sustenance and disconnected consumption by offering a product that genuinely excels in taste while advancing a mission of clean water, farmer dignity, and scriptural encouragement. Believers who make the switch often describe it as more than a beverage upgrade — it becomes part of their rhythm of gratitude, a daily invitation to remember that every good gift comes from above.
If you’re ready to transform your mornings (and perhaps your church gatherings) with coffee that honors both exceptional craftsmanship and Christian values, I encourage you to explore what Promised Grounds has to offer. One sip at a time, you’ll be nourishing your body, refreshing your spirit, and participating in something far greater — all while enjoying what truly is among the best coffee available.
