Here is an
excellent example of why the United States (US) government (USG) does not
believe in democracy, human rights, or the rule of law.
In the
following video, the so-called “governor of Puerto Rico” is testifying before
the US Senate in October 1999 about the US continuing to use the island of
Vieques as a live ordinance firing range after the accidental death of security
guard David Sanes. Puerto Ricans protesters had entered the firing range to
prohibit the Navy from continuing to use it. Click on the following link
to watch what has been called the “Don’t push it” video: https://youtu.be/Z2ea92g-IzU
Senator from
Oklahoma James Inhofe tried to get the US colonial administrator of Puerto Rico
Pedro Roselló to remove the protesters out of the firing range. Pedro reminded
the senator that the protestors are violating US law, and that the US is the
one responsible for its enforcement, if it chooses to do so. Pedro advised the
USG, “Don’t push it!” But the USG has never wanted to discuss its own crimes against
humanity that has won it the infamous reputation of being the biggest threat to
world peace.
The USG has had
Puerto Rico as its colony for the past 122 years. The USG invaded militarily
Puerto Rico to make her its colony. How could the USG claim to be the
champion of democracy!
The USG has
violated for the past 75 years the United Nations’ (UN) Charter that prohibits colonialism.
Moreover, the USG has ignored 39 UN resolutions asking it to immediately return
Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. http://webtv.un.org/watch/5th-meeting-committee-of-24-special-committee-on-decolonization/6051725003001/
Puerto Ricans
will have to push the USG into complying with international law, by engaging in
resistance today, resistance tomorrow and resistance forever! Just as we did for Vieques.
Boricuas must push back the USG!
