YvesPointDuJourcrop.jpgBio - Saying farewell to Jean Yves Point-du-Jour "Yves D'Ayiti" of Konbit Lakay | Funeral and Wake information 
Èzili Dantò's Note: 

Pour libation. Jete dlo, jete dlo, jete dlo: I see our people's line going back to the beginning of time. 
Back to Lè Marasa, Lè Mò e Lè Mistè
On February 3, 2017, a brighter star united with the chorus of the Infinite. 
Brave Yves Point Du Jour joined our mighty Ancestors, taking his well-earned place in the line going back to the beginning of time. He stands among the brave warriors of old to watch over us and give us strength to finish his task; re-humanize planet earth.  

Jean Yves Point Du Jour fought with the Èzili Network to end the terroristic disaster shattering our people's souls; to end the parasitic plutocrats living off our very flesh, breath, organs, sex, labors and the pain they seed to us from birth. 

One day, Jean Yves, Eugenia and I were doing a Konbit Lakay interview together on the Swamp For Trump To Drain http://sumo.ly/oZxm and on how we together would stop the quiet genocide against Haitians, our children, women, men, our lands. And then soon thereafter, he went to work, drove to a meeting and on his way to his car, died of a massive heart attack. 

After I made the distressing announcement, someone sent me a photo of a heart attack gun the alphabet guys have. It's all too much to contemplate. I wouldn't put any heinous perfidy pass our traditional enemies. It's bleak for us this journey for life in a world ruled by the profit-over-people vampire psychopaths. Jean Yves had been exposing them in the belly of the beast in Washington D.C. for 33 years on his Konbit Lakay show. In particular, he denounced the Clintons' land and oil/gold grabbing, their perpetuation of poverty in Haiti behind false benevolence. He exposed this and underlined Trump's statements about the Clinton Foundation during the most recent US elections. Yves wanted to return home. But we had to stop the Clinton-Bush colonialism and Neoliberalism death plans in Haiti, first. The person who sent the photo of the heart attack gun, wrote: "The CIA have a "Heart Attack Gun"?? Not a joke, real!" I'll paraphrase that old saying: "Maybe we're paranoid but that doesn't mean they're not after us."

You know folks that Èzili's HLLN steps up to powerfully insane forces. The threats are real. Many of you are concerned for my life. The US Clinton-Bush establishment psychopaths, along with the racist Haiti Middle Eastern billionaire oligarchy are so sick they’ve lost the capacity to be ashamed of their criminal activities. Folks ask and my answer is: I am not trying to give these vampires my life on a platter. You won't see me at the funeral but that hurts too. I've gone to too many. The grief is crazy. Condolences again to Yves family, his wife Mrs. Guerda D. Point du Jour, his son Jacques and siblings. Someone will read this Èzili Network's farewell for our beloved freedom fighter: Jean Yves Point Du Jour – Yon Gwo Mapou Tonbe, February 3, 2017 https://goo.gl/XS93nb 

The monotonous inevitability of death before our liberation is beyond distressing. But we must rally, move forward, forward, always forward like Kapwa Lamò taught us! Jean Yves Point Du Jour worked his entire life to help Haiti's masses. He wanted our people to live a life with basic health services, opportunities, access, justice, freedom, dignity and beauty, not a life of charity, untenable compromises, unremitting struggle, and pity. We miss you so much, Yves. Honor and respect for a journey well lived beloved. Ayibobo pou ou.

Here's the funeral information in case you don't have it yet. Èzili Dantò of HLLN, February 15, 2017
