Dutty Boukman was a Voodoo priest, whose death was considered a catalyst to the slave uprising that marked the beginning of the Haitian Revolution. Boukman was born in and later sold by his British to a French plantation owner, who put him as commander(slave driver) and later a coach driver. His name came from his English nickname “Book Man” which he earned due to his ability to read. Boukman presided in the role of Hougan on August 14, 1791 with an African-born Voodoo priestess and conducted a ceremony at the Bois Caiman. Boukman began his famous ceremony by asking for God’s help in the following words:
“The God who made the sun that shines upon us, who causes the sea to rise, the thunder to roar. do you hear me. All of you. Hidden in the clouds, God witnesses the atrocities the whites commit against us. The god of the whites sanctions their crimes and doesn’t care about us. But God, who is so good, orders us to avenge ourselves. He will direct our arms and stands beside us. Destroy the image of the white men’s god who is thirsty for our blood and tears. Listen to the voice of freedom rising in our heart.”
And then, the African-born Voodoo priestess possessed by Erzulie Dantor sacrificed a pig which symbolizes the wild, free and untamable spiritual power of the forest and the ancestors. The participants soaked their fingers in the blood of the pig and made an oath to die, rather than serve the whites. This amazing ceremony combined with Bookman’s large size warrior-like appearance and fearsome temper, made him an effective leader and helped spark the Haitian Revolution. Soon after the uprising began, French authorities captured Bookman and executed him by beheading. The French then publicly displayed his head in an attempt to dispel the aura of invincibility that Boookman had cultivated. This attempt failed. Since then, Haitians have honored Bookman by admitting him into the pantheon of Loa(Voodoo Spirits). Bookman his well revered in all Haiti and his ceremony is worldwide known as the reason of Haiti’s Independence. His name will never be forgotten in Haitian’s heart. -

John McAfee’s $100 ‘anti-NSA’ device: ‘this is coming and cannot be stopped’
“I’m 68 years old and if you can just give me any small amount of information about yourself, I promise you within three days, I can turn on the camera on your computer at home and watch you do whatever you’re doing, provided you’re still connected to the net,” said McAfee.
Computer programmer and former fugitive John McAfee has announced plans to create a new device that would be resistant to government surveillance by creating localized, super-secure networks.
McAfee, who made his fortune by founding and selling the antivirus software which bears his name, said that the device would cost less than $100 and would be a “round, little thing”, capable of fitting into a pocket or backpack.
Speaking at the C2SV conference in Silicon Valley this weekend, McAfee revealed the so-called ‘D-Central’ as the first product from his new company, Future Tense Central.
During his speech McAfee criticised the vulnerability of contemporary networks, noting that the basic infrastructure is thoroughly compromised.
“I’m 68 years old and if you can just give me any small amount of information about yourself, I promise you within three days, I can turn on the camera on your computer at home and watch you do whatever you’re doing, provided you’re still connected to the net,” said McAfee.
“If I can do it, any idiot can do it. We live in a very insecure world with a very insecure communications platform.”
The D-Central device will combine existing technologies into a single package of hardware and software, creating a portable network that will extend about “three blocks in the city or a quarter of a mile out in the country” according to McAfee.
Users can set up a network and use it share files, post requests or connect to the internet securely. Each device will create its own individual network, but these can also be meshed together to provide coverage over a larger area.
“D-Central doesn’t know who you are,” McAfee claims “Every few minutes, [it] changes its identification. Since the networks are invisible to each other and in constant flux there is simply no way to tell who is doing what, when or where.”
Although there are no technological details about the device yet available, McAfee claims that it will be so effective that governments will be likely to ban its use. If this happens he promises to sell it in other countries, claiming “this is coming and cannot be stopped.”
McAfee’s recent history is controversial. He was named a “person of interest” following the death of his neighbour in Belize. The British-born American claimed that he was being hounded by corrupt authorities and went on the run, illegally crossing the border to neighbouring Guatemala.
In Guatemala he was detained by the authorities and deported back to the US. McAfee said he “was perfectly happy with the decision”.
