Haiti Has Nothing By: Michael Elijah Muhammad Clare They said Haiti has nothing. No riches. No future. No hidden power. They were wrong. They have been wrong for centuries. Beneath Haiti’s mountains, valleys, coastlines, and forgotten villages lies one of the most ignored treasure zones in the Caribbean — possibly in the world. And almost nobody is talking about it. Until now. The Sleeping Treasure of Haiti Haiti is sitting on a buried fortune that few nations of its size can match. Not rumors. Not myths. Not dreams. Real materials. Real value. Real money. Hidden underground. Waiting. Estimated Untapped Wealth (USD) Gold: $3 Billion Silver: $900 Million Copper: $12 Billion Bauxite (Aluminum Ore): $500 Million Manganese: $300 Million Limestone, Marble, Cement Minerals: $800 Million Gypsum & Industrial Minerals: $150 Million Lignite Coal: $600 Million Oil & Gas (Offshore & Onshore Potential): $10+ Billion Rare & Precious Metals: $50 Million Total Potential Value: $28+ Billion USD And this does NOT include agriculture. This is only what is buried. Millions of Tons Under Haitian Soil Geological surveys and historical reports point to: Tens of millions of tons of copper-bearing rock Millions of tons of bauxite Massive limestone formations Extensive mineral belts in northern and central regions Offshore energy basins still largely unexplored Haiti is not empty. Haiti is locked. And the key has never been used properly. The Forgotten Agricultural Empire Long before modern nations existed, Haiti fed empires. And it still can. Haiti’s Natural Gold Above Ground Sugarcane — $800 Million per year Cocoa — $250 Million per year Coffee — $100 Million per year Chocolate-grade cacao — $150 Million per year Tropical fruits — $200 Million per year Spices — $50 Million per year Essential oils — $30 Million per year Timber — $100 Million per year Medicinal plants — $20 Million per year Historically, Haiti was one of the world’s largest producers of sugar and coffee. Cocoa from Haitian soil has flavor profiles that rival the best in Africa and South America. Chocolate companies already know this. They just don’t want Haitians to know it. Why You Were Never Told This Ask yourself: Why isn’t this taught in schools? Why isn’t this on the news? Why isn’t this in global investment reports? Because poor countries with rich resources are easier to control. If Haitians believe “we have nothing,” they won’t defend what they own. If they feel small, others will feel entitled. History proves this. The Psychology of Being Told You Are Worthless For decades, Haitians have been trained to believe: “We are poor.” “We are weak.” “We have no options.” “We must leave.” That belief is more powerful than any weapon. It keeps minds locked. It keeps ambition small. It keeps opportunity invisible. Meanwhile, outsiders study the land quietly. They map it. They analyze it. They wait. A Gold Rush Waiting to Happen Imagine this: Modern mining. Local ownership. Processing plants. Export hubs. Agricultural cooperatives. Global branding. Haitian gold. Haitian chocolate. Haitian copper. Haitian stone. Haitian energy. Made. Owned. Marketed by Haitians. Not exported cheap. Not stolen. Not forgotten. Sold at full value. The Diaspora Advantage Haitians abroad hold the missing piece. Education. Capital. Networks. Technology. Global access. The land is in Haiti. The skills are worldwide. When those connect, everything changes. This is how nations rise. What Happens If Haitians Don’t Act History is clear. If locals don’t organize: Others will. If Haitians don’t invest: Foreign corporations will. If Haitians don’t claim: Someone else will. And when that happens, the wealth will leave again. With little left behind. The Opportunity of a Lifetime Few countries on Earth sit on: Billions in minerals Billions in agriculture Strategic Caribbean location Massive diaspora Global attention Haiti does. Right now. In this generation. This is not about politics. Not about parties. Not about promises. This is about ownership. Haiti Has Nothing? No. Haiti has: Gold in its ground. Power in its soil. Wealth in its climate. Strength in its people. What it lacks is organization. And that can be fixed. A Message to Haitians Everywhere Wherever you live: America. Canada. France. Chile. Brazil. Bahamas. Africa. Europe. Remember this: You come from valuable land. You come from strategic ground. You come from a nation that was rich before it was made poor. And it can be rich again. With you. Or without you. The choice is yours. Final Word They said: “Haiti has nothing.” That lie has lasted too long. The truth is rising. The treasure is waiting. And history is watching who claims it first. Potential Yearly GDP Haiti Could Earn from Resources Minerals + Agriculture combined at high estimates (realistically achievable): Mineral production (10% of high-end underground wealth per year): $1,500,000,000–$2,830,000,000 Agriculture exports (high-end annual): $1,000,000,000–$1,700,000,000 Total High-End Potential Annual GDP (minerals + agriculture): $2,500,000,000–$4,530,000,000 per year Tourism Potential GDP If Haiti’s tourism sector operated like the Bahamas’ Ministry of Tourism model, scaled for Haiti’s size and diaspora, a realistic high-end estimate could generate $20–30 billion per year. Combined Potential Annual GDP with Tourism, Minerals, and Agriculture for Haiti: $22,500,000,000–$34,530,000,000 billion per year. --------- In my own country the Bahamas our yearly GDP is currently at: $14,000,000,000 billion per year. And this includes markets I didn't include in my assessment of Haiti because it would be too many things that make money in other regular functioning countries, such as real estate sales and Customs duties yearly collections plus Vat tax in other markets of our nation. If Haiti had a working government such as the Bahamas, Jamaica and or especially Barbados, these estimates above for Haiti would easily double or even triple for Haiti's annual GDP figures! Lord have mercy, 🌞 too much potential...

This engraving depicts a scene from the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804), specifically titled "Revenge taken by the Black Army for the cruelties practiced on them by the French". The image portrays members of the Black Army—a force of formerly enslaved people and free people of color—executing French officers by hanging. The revolution was characterized by extreme violence on both sides. This particular scene was a direct response to the atrocities committed by French forces under General Charles Leclerc and General Rochambeau, who attempted to restore slavery and French control over the colony then known as Saint-Domingue. The artwork was created by Marcus Rainsford and published in 1805 in his book, An Historical Account of the Black Empire of Hayti. Rainsford, a former British captain, documented the revolution's events and provided some of the earliest visual records of the conflict. The image symbolizes the shift in power during the later stages of the revolution when the Black Army, led by figures like Jean-Jacques Dessalines, successfully repelled Napoleon Bonaparte's massive expeditionary force. The revolution began in August 1791 as a mass uprising of enslaved people inspired by the ideals of the French Revolution. It is widely regarded as the most successful slave rebellion in history, resulting in the permanent abolition of slavery and the establishment of Haiti as the world's first independent Black-led republic in 1804.

Few people know that Brazil has the largest population of black people outside of the African continent. In fact, it is the second largest “Black nation” after Nigeria, with over 100 million Black people. Yet, there is little information in the media outside of the country about this group, specifically, information about the history of Africans in the country that defined and continues to define the affairs of black people globally. For example, the country’s Malê Revolt in its province of Bahia in 1835 is not only considered the most important revolt in Brazillian history but it is believed to have been instrumental in bringing an end to the international slave trade in the country. Historians say that on the night of January 24 to 25, 1835, African-born slaves and freed-people in the northeastern Brazilian city of Salvador da Bahia carried out a rebellion to liberate themselves from slavery and create an Islamic homeland. The group of some six hundred Yoruba, Nupe, Kanuri and Hausa people from present-day Nigeria were led by Muslim leaders, having heard of and being inspired by the Haitian Revolution (1791−1804).

Creole languages can be categorized by their base language, such as French-based (e.g., Haitian Creole, Louisiana Creole), English-based (e.g., Jamaican Patois, Gullah), Portuguese-based (e.g., Papiamento, Cape Verdean Creole), and others that have a mixed or non-European base (e.g., Sango, Saramacca). They are found worldwide, with large concentrations in the Caribbean, Africa, and the Indian Ocean. By base language French-based: These languages developed from contact between French and other languages. Examples include Haitian Creole, Louisiana Creole, Mauritian Creole, and Dominican Creole French. English-based: These are creoles where English is the primary base. Examples include Jamaican Patois, Guyanese Creole, Gullah (spoken in the southeastern U.S.), and Tok Pisin (in Papua New Guinea). Portuguese-based: These languages have Portuguese as their main foundation. Papiamento (spoken in Aruba, Bonaire, and Curaçao) and Cape Verdean Creole are prominent examples. Mixed or non-European based: Some creoles are based on contact between multiple European languages or primarily non-European languages. Sango: Based on the Ngbandi language in the Central African Republic. Saramacca: Based on English but heavily influenced by Portuguese, spoken in Suriname. Papiamentu: Though based on Portuguese, it has significant Spanish and Dutch influence. By external history Plantation creoles: Developed on plantations, such as many French-based creoles in the Caribbean. Fort creoles: Developed around forts, often involving trade and administration. Maroon creoles: Developed by communities of formerly enslaved people who escaped to form their own settlements. Creolized pidgins: Languages that evolved from pidgins into more complex, stable languages. By region Caribbean: Haitian Creole, Jamaican Patois, Papiamento (Aruba, Bonaire, Curaçao), and various French-based creoles in the French West Indies are examples. Africa: Nigerian Pidgin, Sango, and Kikongo-Kituba are spoken in various countries. Indian Ocean: Mauritian Creole, Seychellois Creole, and Reunion Creole are spoken in this region. Americas: Besides the Caribbean and Louisiana creoles, there are also Liberian Creole and Belizean Kriol.
