Dr. Waldeck Charles, MD DrCharlesCircle Director

“The Child is the Father of the Man”

To understand Dr. Waldeck Charles and his passion about pushing the Circle to bigger and greater ventures, one needs to go back to Haiti, in a small town then of 50,000 people in the 1950’s. This small town is called Cap-Haitian. It is located on the northern shores of the beautiful country of Haiti. This is one of the first places where Christopher Columbus anchored for days and months in his first trip to the New World in August 1492. There, he lost one of his 3 ships, Nina, Pinta and Santa Maria, in his conquistador quest against the indigenous people of the island called Hispaniola. This is the place where the first black revolution of the New World started against Slavery and Institutionalized Injustice. This is the place where the last stand and famous battle between the French General Rochambeau's Army and the ferocious Rebel Army of Dessalines, Henry Christophe and Petion, was decided for good on November 18, 1803. It is known as the Battle of Vertieres! This small town is known to be the birthplace of Toussaint Louverture, the First Non-Violence Spiritual Leader and Liberator of the New World. In other words, people who came from Cap-Haitian are known to have dreamed big throughout History. This is a town, now a city, unequal and unequivocal, in constant growth and competition with more popular and equally famous Haitian localities: Port-Au-Prince, Les Cayes, Jacmel, Gonaives, Petionville, Saint Marc, Port-de-Paix, Jeremy, Hinche, etc.

As a native of Cap-Haitian, I always dream big. One of my recurrent dreams as a child was that I was the Knight with cape and sword who liberates Haiti of the dreaded effect of abject Poverty. Early in life, I was convinced that Poverty is unnecessary. Life is beautiful when everyone next to each other can eat at will, can work with joy and for self-fulfillment. Life is wonderful when one can think every day that tomorrow will be a better day.

The Doctor Waldeck Charles that you know now was not born a doctor. Before he became a medical doctor, he was a son, a brother, a cousin, a nephew, and a Godson. I was not born rich, but not poor neither. In today’s classification I could say that I was born in a Haitian Middle-class family. I was fortunate to go to the best schools in town for my education. After finishing my Secondary Education, equivalent to High School in the US, I did not apply to any Haitian University. My focus then was to go to France to study Medicine. As my mom and dad migrated to the US 6 months earlier, my plan then was to go to New York for a short time, make some money and go to France for medical studies.

Actually, my short stay in New York became my permanent place. I started my first job on my birthday on September 17, 1973. It was a Monday. It was in Long Island city in a factory called Waldes Kohinoor. I stayed there for one year, happy to go underground and take the Number 7 Subway, 5 days a week to work in the Bronx first, later in Brooklyn. Sometimes in 1974, one friend came to sell me the World Book Encyclopedia. I did not buy it, but he told me he can get me a job as a Sales Rep. I went and got the Sales Rep job and I became fascinated with the MLS work. Deep inside me then I felt that Multi-Level System work has the potential to eradicate poverty in the world. I did not know then about Guaranteed Basic Income that was proposed by intellectuals, like Thomas Payne, Martin Luther King, and the means tested version of Negative Income Tax, proposed by Nobel Price Laurate Milton Friedman.

So, if today you are learning about the Dr. Charles Circle’s principle, it is not by accident. It is not my first rodeo with this idea. This time, I believe I have the right platform to deliver goods to people. The timing is perfect due to advanced technology, Automation, AI, intertwined with the persistent and negative course of the COVID-19 pandemic. We have the means to deliver a GBI, or a small job of $1,500 per month for 12 months to all our members who stick to our principle:

Humanity First!

Human Dignity!

Respect your Neighbor!

If you breathe, you work!

Dr. Waldeck Charles

Mr. Herve Jean-Baptiste,

Project Manager and Executive Administration

How to introduce a great man to the Dr. Charles Circle members, our actual Executive Administrator? Interestingly, Herve Jean-Baptiste, my friend and brother-in-law, is also a native of Cap-Haitian. If People from Cap- Haitian are big time dreamers, Herve is the Dream personified, a keen visual Artist who enjoys shedding colorful and laser crisp lights to the ambient world. Herve is gifted and handy and it is delightful to be in his company. Herve is skillful and has the propensity to make our Dream Projects come true, even better than we were thinking or imagining them.

The Circle business with Herve, goes to many years back. One of the main projects Herve was in charge in the Circle was the Luxury Auto Circle Business we talked about in previous pages. In the New England area, Herve succeeded in making inroads in meeting important and notorious people and in helping them accomplish their dreams by giving them jobs. We can say for sure that the Circle base is now far reaching thanks in part to our dynamic Executive Administrator. It is worth noting one of his famous passengers that befriended him as a Luxury Auto Circle driver was a European Billionaire who spent one week going for treatment at Mayo clinic in the Scottsdale area.

The Thomas West Building is another Herve’s pet project that is very important to mention now. The plan to make the Building the Headquarter of our mental health clinic NeuroFocus Center is spirited by Herve’s dynamism. Herve is the owner manager of the Building. He plays his role so well that the tenants know him personally and look for his input for any problem with the Building. We expect that the Circle members will know him that way also and he can continue to be one of the Circle’s greatest assets.

Mr. Ronald Jean-Baptiste Spiritual Advisor and Counselor

What can one say of the Reverend Ronald Jean-Baptiste? That he is Herve’s younger and immediate brother in order of birth or my wife second youngest brother. That he is thoughtful and positive, and he believes in his brother-in-law passion and unique quest to bring a change in this world. If thinking big is in the nature of the natives of Cap-Haitian, growing up in the city of Cap-Haitian instills the same to those who spent part of their childhood there.

Ronald Jean-Baptiste is a gifted Preacher who is good at projecting to the brain clear and vivid images interfaces and capable of electrifying a vast public. The Circle is blessed to have such a luminary amongst its leaders. The principle of Small Income Movement Program is incidentally Ronald’s big dream. A decade ago, he attempted to build a mega church in Orlando with similar grandiose visions. It is redeeming that Ronald will play a great part in the Circle, pushing the eradication of Poverty message in a broader audience by advocating convincingly for a guaranteed basic income. Reverend Ronald Jean-Baptiste has always believed that poverty is unnecessary. In the Orlando community he is known as the Advocate of the poor and the downtrotted.

The Circle counts on Ronald to deliver for those who are in need of spiritual and financial guidance. The concept of Guaranteed Basic Income is not an open and easy one to grasp. Ironically those who can benefit from it are often misled by the people in higher economic ladders who often argue that getting a basic income is a form of handout and it is dehumanizing. To those people, we say those in the middle and upper classes have inherited handouts and they don’t feel ashamed.

The Circle’s first 3 months of teaching is essential for spiritual and intellectual growth of our members and now Reverend Ronald Jean-Baptiste is the Circle’s eloquent leader of records that can unleash the power of enlightenment to all our members with grace and great passion. We hope that all Members will have a chance to meet with him sooner rather than later for a beautiful and enjoyable Circle ride.

What a delight to introduce another son of Cap-Haitian, city of big dreamers! The Circle’s history with Mr. Gueus Robert has been in decades of the making. Gueus is the dear younger brother of my brother-in-law, Dr. Harold Robert, a co-owner of the Thomas West Building. Gueus and I have crossed paths so many times in extraordinary and important projects since living in the USA that he has become a younger dear brother to me also. His wisdom is beyond his age and a conversation with Gueus is a true philosophy class that elicits deep thinking and lightens the spirit.

We are lucky to have Gueus as the Media and Public Relations Director. In general, people specially those who are familiar with your concepts tend to dismiss your ideas for being the same old ones. However, Gueus as the teacher and true professor will listen to you attentively and will spend hours asking intelligent and relevant questions. Like Reverend Ronald Jean-Baptiste, Gueus brings another spiritual aperture to the exchange of ideas that should be healthy, and beneficial to the Circle. Truly, the Circle is lucky to have an Erudite in a leadership position.

This website that we all are now enjoying and its edition are Gueus’ valuable contributions to the Circle. In other words, without Gueus the concepts of GBI or the SIM would be still free floating in our minds, and we would still be talking in abstracts. Gueus has dedicated himself in learning computer technology and he takes an immense pleasure in sharing his passion with us.

In a few months, most members will be familiar with Mr. Gueus Robert, our Media and Public Director and will also be familiar with the Circle’s principle thanks to the hard work of Mr. Gueus Robert. Kudos, Gueus!
