Do Puerto Ricans have a government?

The best way to answer that question today is by asking another question. Is the United Nations’ annual hearing to discuss decolonization today, Thursday, June 20, 2024, being broadcasted live on Puerto Rican television? No.

One would think that a government that represents the interests of Puerto Ricans would be doing so, in order to educate us about 126 years of being a colony of the United States (US). But, just like the US’ “free press” hides these hearing in the states, the so-called “Puerto Rico government (PRG)” does the same thing in Puerto Rico. The only way that you could watch it is via https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w/k1wb1xdn6i and https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k15/k154ku9q8x.

That PRG is the US’ government in Puerto Rico. That is why two thirds of Puerto Ricans live today away from our national territory, and half of those remaining live in poverty.   

After today’s hearing, the UN will issue yet another resolution saying exactly the same thing as all of the other 42 resolutions. The UN demands that the US immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. The US will ignore that one too, because the US never does anything that benefits the 99% of its citizens.

Nevertheless, the US has the audacity to hypocritically say that it supports Taiwan’s inalienable right to self-determination and independence. No wonder the world considers the US as the biggest threat to peace.

The UN can’t provide peace with a US rouge state.
