The
following video from the Associated Press (AP) is an excellent example of how
Puerto Ricans have been brainwashed. Click on the following link to watch the
video called, “Puerto Ricans are Americans, Explained”: https://youtu.be/Bb3ZeqybloE
The first
thing that the fake news omits is that Puerto Ricans never wanted to be United
States (US) citizens. Puerto Ricans had already obtained self-government from
Spain in 1897, after being a Spanish colony for 405 years. The USG,
nevertheless, decided in 1898 to militarily invade Puerto Rico to make
her its colony.
The video conveniently
omits that the US government (USG) is committing a crime against
humanity by keeping Puerto Rico as its colony. The USG has refused for the past
75 years to comply with the United Nations’ (UN) Charter that prohibits
colonialism.
The video never
explained how the so-called, “Puerto Rico government” came into being in 1952. The
Puerto Rican Nationalist Party rebelled for Puerto Rico independence in 1950. The
USG then decided to camouflage its colony by calling it, “The Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico”.
The USG asked
the UN the following year to remove Puerto Rico from its list of colonies,
claiming that Puerto Rico had obtained self-government. The UN bought it, and
removed Puerto Rico from the list.
The
Nationalist Party’s attack on the US Congress in 1954 was to call attention
that Puerto Rico continues to be a US colony.
The UN
realized that the USG had lied to it in 1953, and currently holds annual Puerto Rico
decolonization hearings. This year’s, Monday, June 22, 2020 hearing was
postponed due to the coronavirus. Click on the following link to watch last
year’s hearing: http://webtv.un.org/watch/5th-meeting-committee-of-24-special-committee-on-decolonization/6051725003001/
The video
talks about Puerto Ricans not being able to decide whether we want to remain a
US colony, statehood, or independence. What it conveniently omits is that Puerto
Ricans need not decide that. The international community has done that already
by deciding that colonialism is a crime against humanity. The USG, however, has
ignored 38 UN resolutions asking it to immediately return Puerto Rico’s
sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans.
Trump asked,
during the aftermath of Hurricane Maria in Puerto Rico, whether Puerto Rico
could be sold. Isn’t it interesting that after George Floyd’s assassination,
and the riots all over the world, that the so-called “greatest democracy” is
talking about selling a nation?
We need to
get the truth, and create a government that represents everyone! We do, because
those who lie to exploit other people, don’t believe in LIBERTY AND IN JUSTICE
FOR ALL! www.TodosUnidosDescolonizarPR.bogspot.com
The AP and
the USG represent exclusively 1% of the citizens.
