Imagine if we were to get a tsunami of people peacefully protesting with the same passion and determination as in these 2 videos for Puerto Rico decolonization. Why can’t we?

The eternal crisis that we live has to do withour 117 years of colonial relationship with the United States government. Let’s prove that with history.

General Nelson Miles, the one who led the US invading military forces in Puerto Rico, said in 1898 (in my own words) that the US has come to bring us liberty and prosperity.

The first civil governor of Puerto Rico,Charles Herbert Allen (1900 to 1901) used his position to make himself rich through Puerto Rico’s sugar industry. You can get all the details in Chapter 8 of Nelson A. Denis’ book, WAR AGAINST ALL PUERTO RICANS.

If we were to study our own history, we would become convinced that our relationship with the US government is for the sole purpose of total exploitation of Puerto Rico and Puerto Ricans for its own benefit. However, with its total control it has washed our brains to believe that the US government is the good guy, and we are the bad guys.

In reality, the United States takes out 14 times the investment it makes in Puerto Rico. And that is the root of our financial crisis. Click on the following link to get the details: https://youtu.be/68uPd0aP1X0

We were not the ones invaded ourselves to make us a colony of the US government. We cannot solve our colonial problem fighting among ourselves. This is why, Pedro Abizu Campos did not permit in his presence that a Puerto Rican spoke badly about another Puerto Rico. He was aware who the enemy is. And we must also be aware of who the enemy is, if we hope to decolonize our country. The US government is the only one responsible for our colonial relationship. That is why 4 Puerto Rican nationalists attacked the US Congress in 1954.

Let’s join forces the march peacefully and permanently several times a year for the immediate decolonization of Puerto Rico, because those who maintain colonies don’t believe in justice for all!
