- Pact with the Devil? Television evangelist Pat Robertson's claimed that Haiti is cursed by a pact with the Devil. Robertson made the comments on CBN's The 700 Club Wednesday, and Miami Haitian-American Hans Mardy reacted during a meeting Thursday of the Haitian-American Grassroots Coalition. By Chuck Fadely / Miami Herald Staff
they made a pact with the devil so they could go from being poor as hell to poor as hell. yeah that makes a lot of sense. people that make pacts with the devil usually become rich and famous, like pat roberts.
The wealth is freedom
Na, more like they made a pack with the devil in order to not be enslaved as chattel. The implication being that the Godly thing for Haitians to do would have been to embrace being enslaved opposed to resisting enslavement.
Orwell warned of Pat's type. Nice try, though.
At one point Haiti produced 80% of the sugar in the world. Now the UN has restrictions on them so that they can only produce so much a year. That is why they are poor...
Sev Banks yessssss they sabotaged Haiti as revenge for the loss of the economic resources from the sugar plantations....
Sev Banks I'd like to know your take on Venezuela current day.
wrong, that is one of the MANY reasons why they are poor. The other UN, United States definitely has a lot to do with it.
@Charlie Keiner you're a moron they were doing fine until the Americans came in a 1930 and the Dominicans killed 10,000 of them be quiet you moron

Haiti is punished for being the first black nation whose helped and thought many countries how to get their freedom such as Venezuela, Colombie, Peru, Honduras and many more. No French came and fought for the United States. Lafayette went and got my grand parents to fight in Savannah, Georgia. The recognition went to Lafayette, the French man, whom brought them to the United States. Through the years, Haiti is being punished for the liberation of many slaves around the world.
Haiti signed a pact w the Devil? "..... so I just need you to sign here, here, here, and here which allows you to opt out pending a negotiated one-time financial penalty. The documents and copies will be kept on earth as they'll catch fire in Hell."
I like how he said "true story" Like if he was there when the devil and Haitians made a deal
People hate the truth
Lakita Butler what’s the truth?
😂😂😂
@@soulqueen3819 Haiti does seem to be cursed. It probably has to do with the corruption
@@SarahR2D2 it's not because we made a pack with the devil, it's lack of organization and the hefty payment we had to make to France because we defeated them. And making bad deals with America that benefited the few instead of the many.
Oh OK so the Haitians weren't cursed when they were under the French? Lol
Typical white man I tell you
lol
@Grimple Crumple The French are the Dr. J of Freedom and America is the MJ of freedom :D
If I was King of America France would be my number one ally above all. Hell there would likely be no America without France.
@Grimple Crumple Exactly!
Right 😂

The best comment about his was from a guy who wrote: "HEY PAT I JUST TALKED TO GOD, HE SAYS HE WANTS TO TALK TO YOU PERSONALLY, VERY SOON."
Looks like the meeting happened.
Props to the guy who believes in independence and equality. I hope Haiti rebuilds and continues to live even if other people look down on them. They're human beings like the rest of us and they deserve respect.
Lmaooo no
Pat Roberson makes me sick....he needs to stop😂🤣😂 He strike me as someone who is having Hallucinations and early stages of Dementia.
🤣🤣🤣
Hopefully , then his wife can go find someone who Will Mae her happy . His own words. Pats a POS.n btw my 700CLUB handl has absolutely nothing to do with god

Haiti loves the the devil
Thank you for posting this video. The ambassador spoke so eloquently and emotionally. "Haiti will not die!" Amen, I agree.....
You feel stupid now don't you
@@jasonbourne5142 why should she feel stupid. Natural calamity does not = pact with the devil.
Haiti is cursed lmao
pat robertson says,
"the black man's freedom, is the devil's handiwork!"
"the servitude of the black man is the handiwork of god!"
Lord isn't it time to call Pat Robertson home 😂😂😂😂😂🤷👊
Monte Stewart. Preach
Or maybe he should call you home ?
Monte Stewart ikr
😂😂😂
Tambourines!!!
I'm Haitian in Canada born and raised I feel so sorry for Haiti but if they did do so much voodoo and embrace one God maybe it would make a difference! I believe that they brought black magic and their souls are 4 ever endepted to those bad saint they worshiped
So African spirituality are evil
No it is not true why white people are ok even if they are not believers? We need to be educate and educate children first this is the freedom... religion put blacks in slavery....
He said “cursed by one thing after the other” as if one thing after the other wasn’t sanctions by European allied countries as punishment for fighting for their freedom…🙄
What Mr. Hans Mardy said made me cry.
What Pat Roberson said does not really matter in the end, for there are good men like Mr. Mardy to lead us away from such evil.
Haiti will be Free... God bless 🙏 Haitian people.
Pat Roberson must think befor he speaks because of the hurt he has caused.
why should he worry what people feel facts are facts , this is something what i have said 30b yearsago that haiti is build on voo doo and that is the moral compass what the nation holds up
Before not befor…… hahahaha
This is why I don't watch The 700 Club anymore. This racist reprobate made an egregious statement with no apology or regret.
When someone is telling a story and says, "true story," they are usually full of crap.
I heard about Pat's story from a professor when i was in high school in Haiti. He's told me that he'd read it in a book from a french author. I guess Pat's read the book and said these stuff in front of the entire world. Thx God that most people don't believe him, but haitian people who really understand our history, see what's been happening since our independance know in our heart that Pat is telling the truth. There will always be blood in Haiti!
Thank you for posting this excellent video, and thank you Hans Mardy! Unfortunately, many who call themselves "Christian", who actually believe themselves to be Christian, behave, demonstrate, or manifest something more akin to fatalistic superstition, rather than a genuine, living love, faith and dedication to Our Lord and Saviour, and to their fellow man. "You shall know them by their fruits": that means whether good or bad fruits, & anyone sane and decent will know which they are!
Even if Pat is seriously insulting Haiti the guy in the vid is still calling him "friend"...
This vid kinda made my eyes teary .
Tell this black man to Sue Pat Robertson for deformation of Character I would. Do it SUE PAT ROBERTSON. NOW
Slavery was the most disgusting thing on this earth. I can't stand the thought of it, how someone feels they can do that. GOd bless you all, black, latin, asian, white, chinese, hispanic, all of you, all of us!!!
Lots of love!
I am so thankful that the love of God is being reached to the Haitians
And I am so grateful to see so many people in the United States have responded with help. I am so blessed that the United States is leading the way for all the other countries in the world to help. My prayers go out to all the Aid workers, the Nurses, the Doctors, the Construction workers, the Police and the soldiers keeping the security. It does not matter what color is the hand of love.
No dude, it's worse. He said "full of RESORTS". That's right, full of tourist resorts, where americans and europeans can go to be served by the locals. What could make the locals happier than that?
Amazing man. Amazingly Horrible, Horrible man he is.
Pat Robertson is a child of the devil he is only trying to get people to believe that he is a Christian but he is not. Pat Robertson is a wolf in sheep clothing. Pat Robertson have to stand before the Lord and get Judge.
Now this is a man with class. Pat could learn something from him.
Pat Robertson couldn't learn anything even if you used puppets!!!
I tried to sell my soul to the devil, but he refused it...
The devil is not real.
POOR PAT... JESUS HELP THIS SENILE MAN
While I'm happy to read of the good reverend's recovery from a stroke, I strongly recommend during his recovery he take a glance at "Killing England," by Bill O'Reilly. In it, he would find how similar were the revolts against European domination by Haiti and the US.
Jay Young thank you
God need to bless him if his going to make accusations like that he needs to go to Haiti and say that, Haiti is not the only country that is suffering so that means the other countries made a pact with the devil too. He can't even pronounce Hispaniola sad old man.
But are we talking about what the french did to them they fought back and won there freedom no deals were made with the devil the only devil that is there was France and America
Haiti (French: Haïti; Haitian Creole: Ayiti), officially the Republic of Haiti (French: République d'Haïti; Haitian Creole: Repiblik Ayiti) and formerly called Hayti, is a sovereign state located on the island of Hispaniola in the Greater Antilles archipelago of the Caribbean Sea.
It occupies the western three-eighths of the island, which it shares with the Dominican Republic.
Haiti is 27,750 square kilometres (10,714 sq mi) in size and has an estimated 10.8 million people, making it the most populous country in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the second-most populous country in the Caribbean as a whole.
The region was originally inhabited by the indigenous Taíno people.
Spain discovered the island on 5 December 1492, during the first voyage of Christopher Columbus across the Atlantic.
When Columbus initially landed in Haiti, he had thought he had found India or Asia.
On Christmas Day 1492, Columbus' flagship the Santa Maria ran aground north of what is now Limonade.
As a consequence, Columbus ordered his men to salvage what they could from the ship, and he created the first European settlement in the Americas, naming it La Navidad after the day the ship was destroyed.
The island was named La Española and claimed by Spain, which ruled until the early 17th century.
Competing claims and settlements by the French led to the western portion of the island being ceded to France, which named it Saint-Domingue.
Sugarcane plantations, worked by slaves brought from Africa, were established by colonists.
In the midst of the French Revolution (1789-1799), slaves and free people of colour revolted in the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), culminating in the abolition of slavery and the defeat of Napoleon Bonaparte's army at the Battle of Vertières.
Afterward, the sovereign nation of Haiti was established on 1 January 1804 - the first independent nation of Latin America and the Caribbean, the second republic in the Americas, the only nation in the western hemisphere to have defeated three European great powers (France, Spain, and the UK), and the only nation in the world established as a result of a successful slave revolt.
The rebellion that began in 1791 was led by a former slave and the first black general of the French Army, Toussaint Louverture, whose military genius and political acumen transformed an entire society of slaves into an independent country.
Upon his death in a prison in France, he was succeeded by his lieutenant, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, who declared Haiti's sovereignty and later became the first Emperor of Haiti, Jacques I.
The Haitian Revolution lasted just over a dozen years; and apart from Alexandre Pétion, the first President of the Republic, all the first leaders of government were former slaves.
The Citadelle Laferrière is the largest fortress in the Americas.
Henri Christophe - former slave and first king of Haiti, Henri I - built it to withstand a possible foreign attack.
It is a founding member of the United Nations, the Organization of American States (OAS), the Association of Caribbean States, and the International Francophonie Organisation.
In addition to CARICOM, it is a member of the International Monetary Fund, World Trade Organization, and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States.
It has the lowest Human Development Index in the Americas.
Most recently, in February 2004, a coup d'état originating in the north of the country forced the resignation and exile of President Jean-Bertrand Aristide.
A provisional government took control with security provided by the United Nations Stabilization Mission in Haiti (MINUSTAH).
"true story!" xD
more like haiti is the way it is because of its people.
jahman242 wrong! Haiti has been sabotaged by western powers economically bcuz the revolted against slavery. Try reading a book before you spew racist propaganda. You obviously have no idea what you’re talking about
This is the type of stuff that idiots say who don't know history.. were you aware that the US invaded Haiti? Were you aware that the Clinton Administration forced placed a president into Haiti?
jahman242 your an idiot
Blaming “the people” is like saying all of America’s problems is because of its citizens. The people don’t govern themselves you idiot. Not to mention the history of basically paying slave owners for reparations and America’s constant invasions. Learn a few things.
What he didn’t mention is that b 4 Haiti gained there independence they were already warriors when it came 2 war.
They were already stronger than the white man.
So what Robert Patterson said makes no sense at all.
you would be poor to if people didn't give there money to you i wish people would stop giving these corrupt preachers there money making them rich and poor people dont have anything
This is NO MAN of god.. We pray for Pat Robertson at our church!
Pastor Peter
I saw it live as a teen and it made me sick to my stomach! Rest in piss sir.
I refuse to speak one word about this video.
I am to busy praying for my ISRAELITES in Haiti.
Thank you for showing the world what it means to live by GOD'S GRACE............
yey isralites my ass tjhe haitians practioce voo doo many of them, n that havebnothing to do with isrealites, dont pray , use voo doo
Is he saying that it was wrong for them to have fought and achieved their freedom??? He is sick and twisted.
Aren't all ancient or modern Christians who are fooled into swearing allegience to a tyrannical deity , colonical power, or Medieval king to get all the royal goodies AFTER they die. Its always been a conn game played by parasitic elites on the poor to exploit them.
I think its more how they achieved it then them achieving it
We don't claim him. I think the only reason he hasn't been put down is to keep a reminder of the power of ignorance.
Your right my friend, you speak the truth
and it rings around the world. Never,
we are all the same, and thats what scares these
Elitists . Thats where the power lies in us
I think the Haitians should encourage their people and the ones in this country to sign a petition to get Dear Old Pat removed from the television and outlawed from ever speaking in public again.
Pat Robertson is ridiculous.
The problems in Haiti are because of ignorance, greed and corruption. NOT the "will" of some Judeo-Christian concept of a God. Many of the problems in the third world are DUE to religion (Islam and Christianity primarily), not due to the lack of it.
Very nice response by that man. Didn't resort to Pat's b.s. simply set the record straight. Very classy guy.
Many reasons, After Haiti won independence from the French in 1804, they had to pay the French government millions to compensate the French plantation slave owners for their financial losses, this not only put the country in debt but they inherited a generation of illiterates since Haiti had to close all public schools to pay this debt, and the debt was paid making Haiti poor. They were alienated from international community and couldn't trade, had to self-sustain as an island. USA had slaves
True all facts Demonic nation
I'm so sorry on behalf of all Christians...Please take no notice of self righteous people like Pat.
I've long ago figured out that whenever a religious person says "you're taking that out of context!" they actually mean "you're absolutely right and I have no argument."
From CBN.com, Pat also spoke abt Haiti’s history. His comments were based on the widely-discussed 1791 slave rebellion led by Boukman Dutty at Bois Caiman, where the slaves allegedly made a famous pact with the devil in exchange for victory over the French. This w/ horrible state of the country led countless scholars and religious figures over the centuries to believe the country is cursed. Pat never said the earthquake was God’s wrath
The French: Liberty, Fraternity, Equality.
The Haitians after the revolution: LIBERTY, FRATERNITY, EQUALITY!
Then they had to be pay France back for winning the war smh…. I pray Haiti 🇭🇹 can take back their country and prosper for good ! Everyday they’re more oppressed and robed 😢.
As a Christian, I´m embarrased by Pat´s lack of compassion and tact on this issue.
Listen up Pat.
This is what a real Christian should sound like.
People are critizising Pat Robertson's comments like they've never heard them before. Now I don't believe that people should perish in mass like what happened in Haiti for whatever reason. But the reality is that many people share the sentiments of Pat Robertson. They may not say so in a public forum but they believe it is true. Its like racism most racist views are shared in private with other racists.
My heart goes out to the Haitian people who are suffering even more than before.
But the People of Haiti were unlike Job, they were like Job's wife. Job's wife told him to rebuke God, cursed God, Turn away from God. But he never did, he accepted the wrath."God gives, God takes Away. praise be to God". but the people did not accept the suffering like Job. they complained, they revolted.not knowing that the pain they were going through was just a test. Just like the pain that Job went through.
Don't worry folks. Those who accuse others of having a pact with the devil...have one themselves.
Powerful speech Hans retorts with. How very dignified of him not to have to resort to lies or name calling to get his point across. He just spoke honest and direct, straight from the heart.
Discern. That's all .... Discern. A responsibility for all of us. Discern. Know. Deciphering. Truth ...
Yeah R.I.P religion that doesn't care for the needy, weak and broken - long live Jesus and all that He taught
Haitians may be a poor country, but their public school system is way more enhanced than the USA. They learn calculus and organic chemistry well before any of us in the US. They are very knowledgable individuals once they finish high school. Imagine if they had better universities and the money for research.
Well said. Give God the glory! Mr. Mardy is a man with a lot of class. Pat Robertson needs to check the fruit he bears...it's pretty rotten!
The reality is, even factoring the early embargo and the war debt to France, Haiti has suffered from political instability since day one. Literally day one...coup d'etats over and over and over.
And because of this REALITY, people who rise to leadership are more interested in staying in power and stifling dissent than in any long term plans to govern and improve the country. Strong arm men rather than qualified competent leaders.
that's the bottom line.
If anyone made a deal with a devil, it's Robertson. Why do tragedies like this happen to good people while people like Robertson sit in their mansions and think up crap stories of devils? Why can't a house fall on him and let good people live in peace? He's like a drunk bad mouthing their ex during their funeral.
In acts, a black man, if you believe Ethiopians are black, is converted and Ethipian tradition supports this story. Another story is, the message flew to India where St. Thomas was martyred. Pat Buchanan is, crazy. He may be a racist; I'm not sure. I am sure, that he is off the deep end.
Pat Robertson should be ashamed of himself for saying many of the things he does about these national tragedies. It really makes you wonder why he hasn't been pulled off the air by now.
haitians dont worry!!! anyone who believes pat is so ignorant they will never see the struggle of your ancestors! we are not all ignorant, we dont all listen to insane old men spouting madness on tv. we feel for you and we respect the strength you've shown in facing the hardships you have.
Pat was right and he’s at the right hand of God.
Sad to hear, there proud legend.
How come there are not Haiti repeating there proud legend,out loud now?
This guy never said no.
They never made a pact with the Devil! They defeated the French Independently.
Common who hasn't beaten the French?
They shouldn't even have to explain or defend themselves. The fact that they even responded to Pat is giving Pat too much attention.
Part 2: You will notice, I keep emphasizing "white racists". Sadly, racist ignorance is not a "white thing" per se but a human thing. Obviously, in a white majority country, white racists cause more problems than other racists.
Why people are sooo poor in Haiti, why the dominicans are so scared of them-- its the curse
Never make a deal with the Devil. I made a deal with the Devil and he reneged on it. Next time I'll have a lawyer with me.
Sorry but Pat Robertson was absolutely accurate in what he said, and in this video, the spokesperson stumbles when he tries to claim there was no pact; because it is public knowledge! They yelled it at the time! its no derogatory thing that Pat said, and he isnt advocating slavery.
The speaker said God created all men equal, YES, this is the truth.
But what Pat pointed out is historically correct;
That's exaclty right. TY.
What God has to tell me is much more exalted than what the most studied man/woman in the world can tell me.
My God the God of Israel tell me that voodoo and witchcraft are from the devil.
The wait is over, thank god.
He was right.
voodoo has nothing to do with devil worship.
In anycase haiti need to repent.I believe that through turning to God, my brethren in Haiti can become a great prosperous nation on the earth. Slavery is not the problem, haiti is out of slavery. We just need to repent and turn to God.
One if many things Pat should not have said.
pat robertson was a sick man. makes me glad to be an atheist when i hear claptrap like that
Minister of the devil, robertson. We are all the same people, God bless you
This man is ridiculous.
I have never known any Haitian that has practiced voodoo. The Haitians I have met are Christians(either Protestant or Catholic).
this poor hatian. he might be free in body, but mentally, he still carries the religious shackles of his people's former slave owners.
he also says islam is an evil religion, yet he is still on the air. Don't understand how criticizing islam gets you a pass and doesn't put your job/carreer in jeopardy, matter of fact it enhances your career
Mr. Robertson is the boil on the butt of American society.
May Father YAHweh bless your understanding.
This guy who responds to Pat Robertson is AWESOME!
STAY STRONG BEAUTIFUL STRONG PEOPLE! THE WORLD OF GOOD SPIRITED SOULS ARE WITH YOU. DO WHAT IS RIGHT AND KEEP YOUR LAND!
So when will Pat die? Looking foward to that.
They also practice voudou in the Dominican Republic, and both nations have a Christian majority. Yet many countries which aren't very religious, like Sweden and Norway, prosper. It has nothing to do with religion.
OK, I never said that blacks where inferior to any race of people.
My views of Haiti comes from researching the history of Haiti,and looking at its present state not much change using the same methods hoping for a different result ,yes I consider that primitive. Conditions for blacks in America have only gotten better because black Americans chose to use their intellect to challenge oppressive laws and that shows a race of people intellectually capable of evolving for the better.
jiggz22 you are so right. Haiti has proved for years that they cannot govern themselves and that they hate democracy. Even if you read back to Haiti's colonial history to present, every president was either assasanited or forced from office by political coups and and angry haitian mobs
How can a public person insult with such a relaxed tone people who have seen true pain and have survived through that and still manage to live their lives in spite of all that has happened. Pat has entirely too much influence and it is silly of us to blame him. The people who should be blamed are his followers and those who believe in his madness and lunacy. No matter what religions say we should help our brothers and sisters when in need and stand united as actual human beings.
