[Haiti / United States] - The Power Self Imports Killers to Erase Its Rival, Proving the Illusion of a Stable State

Event Baseline: Eighteen people were arrested in connection with the 2021 assassination of Haitian President Jovenel Moïse, according to US officials. Moïse was shot dead by a hired group of about 20 Colombian mercenaries at his private residence.

The state is a thought. The president is an image of order. The mercenaries are images of violence for hire. Someone paid. Someone killed. The self that wants power hires another self to erase the body that holds the title. There is no loyalty, no law, no nation. There is only the struggle between competing fictions of authority.

The president's own security did not intervene. They watched. The system operates on fear and greed. The assassination reveals the empty center. Haiti is not a failed state; it is a state like all others, stripped of the illusion of legitimacy. The self kills to become the one who gives orders. The order is an abstraction. The result is chaos. The arrest of eighteen bodies decades later changes nothing. The thought that caused this still runs. The system will generate another president, another plot, another set of mercenaries. Until the illusion of the separate self ends, the killing continues.
