Ignoring PR self-determination

Another new bill has been introduced in the United States (US) Congress to make Puerto Rico the 51^st state of the Union. Click on the following link to watch that video: https://youtu.be/s3HegKB4ijY

But the fact of the matter is that the US government (USG) has ignored Puerto Rico’s inalienable right to self-determination and independence for the past 76 years. And that is a crime against humanity!

If the USG had wanted to do right by Puerto Rico, it would have complied with the United Nations’ (UN) Charter that prohibited colonialism in 1945. But, it didn’t!

The USG’s criminal intent is further corroborated by its decision to ignore, thus far, 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/ 

It would be impossible for the USG to manage a process directed at resolving the crime that it unilaterally committed in 1898. The USG has militarily occupied Puerto Rico for the past 123 years. As a US colony, Puerto Ricans have no say in our destiny. Thus, that bill can’t be about Puerto Ricans deciding our future. It is just another trick!

The real solution would be for the USG to return our sovereignty to us. We would then decide what we want with no outside interference. But the USG has never wanted to do that, because it wants to control Puerto Rico forever!

Many Puerto Ricans erroneously believe that our goal should be to get equality for Puerto Ricans in the US. Our goal, however, must always be for us to have the opportunity to be all that we could be.

But for that, we must engage in permanent resistance now, tomorrow and forever to force the USG to comply with international law. www.TodosUnidosDescolonizarPR.blogspot.com

This bill is another trick!
