Randall Robinson, Author of "The Debt: What America Owes...", has authored another book, "Quitting America" and Randall Robinson has moved out of, LEFT, the United States.
The decision to leave was partially in response to, he has stated, his protest of direct confirmation from the President of Haiti, Jean Bertrand Aristede, that the U.S. military forced the President of Haiti onto a plane at gunpoint, flew him to Africa against his will, and therewith effectively executed a coup in Haiti.
Randall Robinson is a graduate of Harvard University, a graduate of Harvard Law School, and the founder and former president of TransAfrica, the Forum and Foundation in Washington, D.C.
Randall Robinson has come to some intermediate conclusions about "Culture, Race, & Economy" in America.

Randall Robinson: Aristide Says 'Tell the World It Is a Coup'
-------------------------------------------------
TransAfrica founder and close Aristide family friend Randall Robinson ... received a call from the Haitian president early this morning and confirmed Rep. Maxine Waters account. Robinson said that Aristide "emphatically" denied that he had resigned.[ excerpt removed ]
-------------------------------------------------
RANDALL ROBINSON: The president called me on a cell phone that was slipped to him by someone - he has no land line out to the world and no number at which he can be reached. He is being held in a room with his wife and his sister's husband, who happened to be at the house at the time that the abduction occurred. The soldiers came in to the house and ordered them to use no phones and to come immediately. They were taken at gunpoint to the airport and put on a plane. His own security detachment was taken as well and put in a separate compartment of the plane. The president was kept with his wife with the soldiers with the shades of the plane down and when he asked where he was being taken, the soldiers told him they were under orders not to tell him that. He was flown first to Antigua, which he recognized, but then he was told to put the shades down again. They were on the ground there for two hours before they took off again and landed six hours later at another location again told to keep the shades down. At no time before they left the house and on the plane were they allowed to use a phone. Only when they landed the last time were they told that they were in the Central African Republic. Then taken to a room with a balcony. They do not know what the room is a part of, maybe a hotel, maybe some other kind of building, but it has a balcony and outside they can see that they are surrounded by soldiers. So that they have no freedom. The president asked me to tell the world that it is a coup, that they have been kidnapped. That they have been abducted. I have put in calls to members of congress asking that they demand that the president be given an opportunity to speak, that he be given a press conference opportunity and that people be given an opportunity to reach him by phone so that they can hear directly from him how he is being treated. But the essential point is clear. He did not resign. He was taken by force from his residence in the middle of the night, forced on to a plane, and taken away without being told where he was going. He was kidnapped. There's no question about it.
AMY GOODMAN: How does he actually know, Randall Robinson, how does president Aristide know that he is in the Central African Republic?
RANDALL ROBINSON: He was told that when he arrived. As a matter of fact there was some official reception of officials of that government at the airport when he arrived. But, you see, he still had and continues to have surrounding him American military. [ more ]
