¿Oscar López Rivera, héroe o conspirador? / Oscar López Rivera, conspirator or hero?

Oscar López Rivera se ganó la Medalla de Honor de Bronce por su servicio militar en el ejército de Estados Unidos durante la guerra en contra de Vietnam.  El gobierno de Estados Unidos nos dijo que estábamos defendiendo la libertad y la democracia.   ¡Oscar era para Estados Unidos en aquel entonces un héroe!

Después de esa guerra, Oscar decidió luchar por la libertad y la democracia de los puertorriqueños. Desde ese tiempo, dejo de ser un héroe para Estados Unidos para convertirse en un conspirador sedicioso para derrocar la autoridad legítima de Estados Unidos sobre Puerto Rico.  ¿Y qué paso con la libertad y la democracia de los pueblos?

¿Sabía usted que Puerto Rico es una colonia de Estados Unidos (EEUU) por resultado de una invasión militar en el 1898, y no por una consulta al pueblo de Puerto Rico? ¿Sabía usted que la Asamblea de Delegados de Puerto Rico rechazó la imposición de su ciudadanía a los puertorriqueños? ¿Sabía usted que Estado Unidos comete un crimen en contra de la humanidad al mantener a Puerto Rico en una relación colonial con ella?  ¿Sabía usted que la Organización de Naciones Unidas le ha pedido a Estados Unidos en 32 resoluciones que descolonice inmediatamente a Puerto Rico y ella ha ignorado estos reclamos internacionales que representa más del 95% de las naciones de esa organización?  ¿Sabía usted que la ley internacional le da el derecho a los países usar cualquier medio necesario para descolonizarse?  ¿Esta Estados Unidos sobre la ley internacional y a democracia internacional por ser la potencia militar número uno?

Únete a 2 protestas pacíficas al año hasta que Puerto Rico se descolonice a través de la ley internacional, que es la que tiene jurisdicción en este asunto.  Pensar por un momento que se pueda descolonizar a Puerto Rico a través de la que nos quiere mantener en el coloniaje para siempre es una locura.  ¡Tenemos que protestar pacíficamente porque la que ha practicado el colonialismo en Puerto Rico por 105 años ciertamente no cree en la justicia para todos!

Oscar López Rivera won the Bronze Medal of Honor for his participation in the Vietnam War as a solider in the United States military.  We were all told by the United States (US) government that we were fighting for liberty and democracy.  Oscar was a hero for the United States!

Then, after the war, Oscar decided to fight for liberty and democracy for Puerto Rico.  Since that time, Oscar has become a seditious conspirator against the legal authority of the United States over Puerto Rico.  And what ever happened to liberty and democracy for countries?

Did you know that Puerto Rico is a colony of the United States by virtue of a military invasion in 1898, and not by a consultation with the People of Puerto Rico?  Did you know that the Puerto Rican Assembly in 1917 rejected the United States’ imposition of her citizenship on Puerto Ricans?  Did you know that the United States government commits an international crime by maintaining Puerto Rico in a colonial relationship with her?  Did you know that the United Nations has asked the United States 32 times to immediately decolonize Puerto Rican, as she has ignored them all despite having the approval of over 95% of the countries represented in this organization? Did you know that international law gives countries that right to use whatever means necessary to decolonize?  Is the United States above international law and international democracy, because she is number one militarily?
 

Join us in 2 peaceful protests a year until Puerto Rico is decolonized under international law, which is the venue that has jurisdiction in this matter!  To think that the United States will ever decolonize Puerto Rico, when this colonial relationship only exists because the US has always wanted it that way is just plain insanity.  We must peacefully protest, because those who have practiced colonialism for 105 years in Puerto Rico certainly don't believe in Justice for all!

Puerto Rico has the second highest percentage of her nation in the United States!

Click on the above link to read about a book about Pedro Albizu Campo’s involvement with Ireland’s independence from the United Kingdom.

This list reveals the top 20 Diasporas in the United States, and what percentages of each entire nation they represent.  The percentages are calculated based on the number of people of a particular national origin in the United States from the population of that country.  It is interesting to note that the country whose independence Pedro Albizu Campos actively supported, has the unbelievable amount of her people (90%) in the United States!

1.       Ireland 90%

2.       Puerto Rico 66%

3.       Norway 46%

4.       Germany 37%

5.       United Kingdom 34%

6.       Sweden 30%

7.       El Salvador 27%

8.       Mexico 23%

9.       Italy 23%

10.   Netherlands 21%

11.   Poland 20%

12.   Cuba 16%

13.   Dominican Republic 16%

14.   France 12%

15.   Canada 8%

16.   Philippine 4%

17.   Vietnam 2%

18.   Korea 2 %

19.   India .3%

20.   China .3%

In the case of Puerto Rico, it is obvious that if 66% of Puerto Ricans are living in the United States, the government of Puerto Rico has historically not done its job to create the conditions in Puerto Rico to keep them here.  The fact of the matter is that under a colonial relationship with the United States, the government of Puerto Rico does not have the power to govern Puerto Rico for the Puerto Ricans.  This, of course, is by design.

Join in 2 peaceful protests a year until Puerto Rico is decolonized via international law.  Decolonization is impossible through the United States since she was the one that unilaterally created this colonial relationship with Puerto Rico.  Therefore, these protests are indispensable, because those who practice colonialism don’t believe in justice for all!

¡Los puertorriqueños nos podemos gobernar!

Ángel Collado Schwarz (historiador) escribió un libro comparando algunos países similares a Puerto Rico que han mejorado por mucho sus calidades de vida.  Según don Ángel, Puerto Rico con su soberanía también mejoraría por mucho nuestra calidad de vida.  Yo también estoy totalmente en acuerdo con don Ángel.  ¡Tan pronto dejemos de ser explotado como colonia y trabajemos para nosotros mismos, tenemos que progresar de manera sorprendente!

¡Únete a 2 protestas pacíficas al año hasta descolonizar a Puerto Rico!  El gobierno de Estado Unidos es el que se beneficia de nuestra condición colonial y no tiene razón para cambiarlo.  Nosotros somos los quienes sufrimos.  ¡Tenemos que protestar porque aquellos que practican el colonialismo no creen en la justicia para todos!

Colonial education leaves Puerto Rican children behind

http://indyreader.org/content/colonial-education-leaves-puerto-rican-children-behind

Click on the above link to read a very short article about the damaging effects of colonialism, and its inevitable disastrous effects on a quality education for Puerto Rican children. 

Since a colony is only acquired for exploitation by the empire, the educational system in a colony, even if managed by the ones colonized, is designed to perpetuate the colonial relationship.  This is why, as a people, Puerto Ricans have low self-esteem, and are more comfortable following than leading.  We've had an eternal history of following!

Join in 2 peaceful protests a year until Puerto Rico is decolonized!  Once you have studied Puerto Rican history, you will be convinced that without this protest, we will be a colony forever.  You will also be convinced that, those who practice or accept colonialism don't believe in justice for all!

5,410,000 Puerto Ricans in the United States!

http://diasporaalliance.org/americas-largest-diaspora-populations/

Click on the above link to find out what rank Puerto Ricans hold in the top 20 largest diaspora in the United States.

For an island as small as Puerto Rico, we rank number 8 in the top twenty largest diaspora in the United States.  What does this mean?

It means that the government of Puerto Rico has done a disastrous job at creating good jobs in Puerto Rico.  The fact of the matter is that nobody can under the eternal colonial relationship Puerto Rico has always had with 2 empires.  We were first a colony of Spain for 405 years.  Then, we've been a colony of the United States for the past 115 years.

Colonies are for exploitation.  This is why more Puerto Ricans live outside Puerto Rico than in.

In order for Puerto Ricans to be able to decide what is best for us, we must, on our own, learn what has happened to us since 1493.  If we do this, the decision as to the direction we should go as a people would be much easier!  Don't wait for the government to do this as it is not in its interest to do so.  If you don't know the truth, you will want to remain a colony forever!

Join in 2 peaceful protests a year until Puerto Rico is decolonized.  If we continue to do what we have always done, we will stay exactly where we are.  So, we must peacefully protest, because those who practice colonialism don't believe in justice for all!  

Why can't Puerto Rico be decolonized through the United States?

http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=HwuJQ2Fg3N4

Click on the above link to see the August 1st, 2013 hearing in the United States Senate concerning Puerto Rico's colonial status.

Here you will see the historical manner in which Puerto Rico has tried to decolonize herself.  The representatives from the different status options go the United States (US) government to convince it to give us what they want.  The US governments then tells them, "Puerto Rico has to decide what she wants.  Come back and see us when you decide that."

What the US government doesn't mention is the fact that it has violently persecuted Puerto Ricans who have wanted independence for Puerto Rico since its military invasion of 1898.  This is the reason why so many Puerto Ricans are afraid of independence for Puerto Rico.  But, this video tries to portray a US government that wants to solve Puerto Rico's colonial problem.

The US government has never admitted that it created this colonial problem, and has aggressively contributed to the confusion over our political status through its' repression of advocates favoring Puerto Rico independence.  This is why the United States refuses to liberate Puerto Rico's political prisoner, Oscar Lopez Rivera, despite the world's call for his immediate release after 32 years of incarceration. The US prefers rather to teach Puerto Rico and the world a lesson that she is above the law, and of democratic principals!

Since we are the ones with the colonial problem, we are the ones who have to resolve it.  Since we are the ones who have the right under international law to our self-determination and independence, we must stop including the United States in the resolution process.  Why should the US be interested in solving a problem that she created, and benefits greatly from it?

Our efforts would be better spent peacefully protesting together to get the United Nations to decolonize Puerto Rico under international law.  International law requires that a colony must become an independent nation.  Once that happens, then Puerto Ricans can decide on our own what kind of government we want.

Some people are afraid of this, but that is the decolonization process!  Anything else would be an illegal process that is contrary to the international law that has jurisdiction over this matter.  Those who are afraid of the international process for decolonization don't believe in democracy.  And that's why I believe that we must peacefully protest 2 times a year until Puerto Rico is decolonized. We must, because those who practice colonialism don't believe in justice for all!

Is the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico a colony?

Click on the link to see a video about whether Puerto Rico is a colony.

Here is an excellent video about the question of whether Puerto Rico is or not a colony of the United States.  The video is the work of a student from Antilles High School in Puerto Rico.  As a teacher myself, I have no doubt that this student received an excellent evaluation for this project.  I certainly am proud of this student and teacher responsible for this project.  This is excellence!
