The United
States (US) is supposedly considering a bill to decolonize Puerto Rico, after
124 years of US colonialism.
It is
important to note that the US created this problem by militarily invading Puerto
Rico to make her a colony. The US is today committing a crime against humanity
by never having complied with the United Nations’ (UN) Charter of 1945 that
prohibits colonialism. Moreover, the US has ignored 40 UN resolutions asking
her to immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans.
US House Representative Tom McClintock recently argued that US citizens must be protected from this bill. He argued that the current colonial status, the so-called Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, should be among the options offered in the plebiscite.
He, however, never mentioned the fact that, according to the
Treaty of Paris of 1898 (still in effect today), the rights of Puerto Ricans
are determined by the US. That means that Puerto Ricans are US slaves! Therefore,
Puerto Ricans voting in a plebiscite is senseless. This bill is just a show!

If
McClintock wants to really protect American citizens, and really decolonize
Puerto Rico, the best and simplest way would be for the US to comply with the
40 UN resolutions. Once the Puerto Rico has her sovereignty returned, we will
decide our own political future.
The US PR
plebiscite is a circus!
