Haiti’s Transitional Presidential Council—Antony Blinken’s handpicked pet project—has officially imploded, dissolving into the island nation’s endless vortex of chaos without so much as a successor in sight. After two years of infighting, gang warfare, and zero progress on stabilizing the country, the TPC bowed out on Saturday, capping its failure by ignoring its own push to oust U.S.-backed Prime Minister Alix Didier Fils-Aime. This wasn’t some organic Haitian meltdown; it was Washington’s latest failed experiment in nation-building, with Blinken’s State Department propping up the council as a supposed beacon of democracy amid Port-au-Prince’s street battles. Billions in U.S. aid later, Haiti remains a gang-infested hellscape where armed militias control 80% of the capital, and the TPC’s collapse leaves a power vacuum wider than the Gulf of Gonâve.
Dig deeper, and this fiasco screams lessons for the 2A community: when governments—foreign or domestic—crumble under their own incompetence, armed self-reliance isn’t a hobby; it’s survival. Haiti’s TPC was sold as a Blinken-orchestrated fix, much like how U.S. elites peddle gun control as a panacea for urban decay here at home. Yet with no functioning state, Haitians aren’t disarmed utopians—they’re forming vigilante groups, smuggling weapons, and defending neighborhoods block by block. Sound familiar? It’s the real-world rebuttal to “just call 911” rhetoric. Blinken’s crew funneled cash to a council that couldn’t even fire a prime minister, mirroring how defunded police and soft-on-crime DAs leave American cities ripe for copycat chaos. The TPC’s epitaph? Centralized power without accountability breeds collapse, and the armed citizen steps up when bureaucrats bail.
For gun owners stateside, Haiti’s unraveling is a stark warning shot: don’t let Second Amendment erosion turn our streets into gang fiefdoms. As Blinken’s Haiti project joins the ash heap of Iraq, Afghanistan, and endless USAID flops, it underscores why the right to keep and bear arms isn’t negotiable—it’s the ultimate firewall against elite hubris. Stock up, train hard, and vote like your life depends on it, because in places like post-TPC Haiti, it does.
