Decolonize PR via elections

Most Puerto Ricans believe that the way to decolonize Puerto Rico is via elections. The following is an example of that.

Puerto Rican Independence
and the 2024 Election

Our first event of the year in the BUDPR Education & Engagement Series is here! Join us this Friday August 16 at 6pm ET for a conversation about the rise in support for Puerto Rican independence, critical shifts in Puerto Rican politics, and the 2024 election in Puerto Rico.

Our guest will be Adrián González Costa, a candidate for Senate from the Puerto Rican Independence Party running as part of the Alianza in this November's election.

We're excited to bring you this event in partnership with the Diaspórica podcast. See you there!

Right now, however, most United States (US) citizens are opposed to our nation’s unconditional support of the artificial colonial settler regime of Israel in its genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine, and yet it continues. Both Republican and Democratic Party candidates running for president are for the continuation of that support. Therefore, the US is an oligarchy, and not a democracy!  

Thus, the US is the only one opposing a free and prosperous Puerto Rico by refusing to comply with 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding that it immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. . https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w/k1wb1xdn6i https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k15/k154ku9q8x 

The growing support for independence is because two thirds of Puerto Ricans live today away from our national territory, and half of those remaining in Boriken live in poverty. Since this problem is the result to a violation of international law, and is not a political election issue, the 9 million Boricuas worldwide should correct it by permanently engaging in resistance to force the US to comply with international law.

Elections don’t mean anything in an oligarchy.

Vote with your feet!

The US’ commitment to democracy

One would expect that the United States (US), being the so-called “champion of democracy” would be the envy of the world. The world, however, regards the US as the biggest threat to peace! The following video is just one example why.

This beautiful US’ propaganda video makes Puerto Ricans look like we are as happy as we could be. Please click on this video to see how much the US government is hiding: https://youtu.be/qJyScL5RdXY

Not too much time was used in this video to explain Puerto Rico’s political status, because the rest of the story is too embarrassing for the US. Julian Assange found out the hard way about embarrassing the US.  

Today, two thirds of the Puerto Ricans live away from our national territory, and half of those remaining live in poverty. This is not the pretty picture painted by the video!

This horror began with the US militarily invading Puerto Rico 126 years ago to make her its colony. After the failed 1950 Nationalists’ insurrection for Puerto Rico independence, the US decided in 1952 to try to hide its colony by calling it the “Commonwealth of Puerto Rico”. The US convinced the United Nations (UN) in 1953 to remove Puerto Rico from its list of colonies. The UN eventually realized that the US lied, and today holds annual hearings to discuss Puerto Rico decolonization. https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w/k1wb1xdn6i https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k15/k154ku9q8x  

Colonialism is a crime against humanity. The US is, therefore, willfully committing that crime, by having refused, thus far, 42 UN’s resolutions demanding that it immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans.

The US has also shown the same attitude with regards to its unconditional support of the artificial colonial settler regime of Israel in its genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine. How different is that reality video from the Puerto Rico propaganda one!

The US is only committed to imperialism now tomorrow and forever!

When “democracy” is for the few

The United States (US) has lost 35% of its manufacturing jobs in the past 40 years. Why would the so-called “champion of democracy” allow that to happen? Please click on this link for more: https://youtu.be/Q0jhwLkRxBc

38 million Americans live in poverty today, while 60% live from paycheck to paycheck. Understandably, only 33% of Americans are satisfied with our government.

The video explains how the US government allows corporations to maximize their profits at the expense of its citizens. That is the kind of “liberty” in America, called neoliberalism, which some say that the world “supposedly envies”. That “liberty”, however, hurts 99% of US citizens!

Despite the US’ claim that the People’s Republic of China is a dictatorship, her government would never permit jobs to ever leave China. China knows that government must be strong enough to control its economy to benefit 100% of its citizens in order to create a real democracy.

Much of the 35% of US’ job losses have relocated to China. China has used those jobs to eradicate poverty since 2020, despite having 4 times the US’ population. That is why 90% of Chinese are satisfied with their government.

US uses the opposite meanings of words when it speaks.  

US does not want democracy

How do we know that the United States (US) does not want democracy? Let’s begin with the US itself.

38 million Americans live in poverty, and 60% live from paycheck to paycheck when the US is the richest nation in the world, and claims to be the “champion of democracy”. Today, only 33% of Americans are satisfied with our government. If the US really wanted democracy, it is doing a pitiful job of it! Let’s contrast that with the People’s Republic of China, whom the US says is a dictatorship.

China has already eradicated poverty, despite being the second richest nation, and having 4 times the US’ population. Today, 90% of Chinese are satisfied with their government. If China is a dictatorship, it has beaten the US in democracy by a landslide!

Let’s now look at the countries that the US has military invaded? The following video will walk us through US’ coups. The US never cared whether these countries enjoyed democracy. The only thing the US cared about was whether these countries had something that its oligarchs wanted. That is exactly the theme of US Major General Smedley Butler’s book WAR IS A RACKET. Please click on this link to watch the video: https://youtu.be/_wIOqHSsV9c   

Polls say that the US is the biggest threat to peace. Polls also say that Americans are opposed to wars. Yet, the US has 800 military bases around the world. Is that democracy?

Today, the US is fighting against the Russian Federation, Palestine, and West Asia. The US is anxious to go to war with China too. But instead of admitting that the US is an oligarchy, it hypocritically says that it supports Taiwan’s inalienable right to self-determination and independence. The problem with the US’ pretext is that that is exactly what it has consistently denied Puerto Ricans for the past 126 years! The US has shamefully refused to comply with 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding that it immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w/k1wb1xdn6i https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k15/k154ku9q8x

The fact that 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens does not prove that the US is a democracy. On the contrary, it proves that the US is an oligarchy.

Thomas Jefferson said that we had a republic, if we could keep it. We didn’t!

US is an oligarchy!

US behind West Asian war

West Asia is at war today, because the so-called champion of democracy and the United Kingdom illegally removed in 1953 the Iranian democratically elected leader that so many people compared to Gandhi? Please click on this link for more: https://youtu.be/LJ8L7md3IOI

Now it makes perfect sense why the United States (US) and its allies are unconditionally supporting the artificial colonial settler regime of Israel in its genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine.

Now it makes perfect sense why 38 million Americans live in poverty and 60% live from paycheck to paycheck, as 9 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens.

Now it makes perfect sense why the US wanted to kill Julian Assange for providing the world with evidence that proves that the US is unquestionably the world’s biggest threat to peace.

And, now it also makes perfect sense why the US has consistently refused to comply with 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding that it immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w/k1wb1xdn6i https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k15/k154ku9q8x

“Make America Great Again” means the Doomsday Clock striking midnight!

Elections don’t prove US democracy

Regardless of whether the Republican or the Democratic candidate for the United States (US) presidency wins the elections, US oligarchs are the ones who govern the US exclusively for their interests. Please click on this link for more: https://youtu.be/p-MvPLV1Rf8

If that were not so, why then are 9 of the 10 richest men in the world US citizens, while 38 million Americans live in poverty, and 60% live from paycheck to paycheck?

Why then does the US support the artificial colonial setter regime of Israel in its genocidal campaign against the indigenous people of Palestine, when the majority of Americans are against it?

Why then are only 33% of Americans satisfied with our government’s win – lose modus operandi, when 90% of Chinese are satisfied with their government’s win – win philosophy?

And, why then has the so-called champion of democracy refused to comply with 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding that it immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans? https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w/k1wb1xdn6i https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k15/k154ku9q8x

The truth is that US elections like war is a racket. 

US’ “peace” is imperialism

The United States (US) claims to be the champion of democracy, despite having committed genocide against the indigenous people of North America in order to create its artificial colonial settler regime.

Today, the US supports another artificial colonial settler regime called Israel in its genocide against the indigenous people of Palestine. The US pretends that it wants peace, by asking the indigenous people of West Asia to not retaliate against Israel’s crimes against humanity.

US’ hypocrisy about peace is also easily visible in its claim to support Taiwan’s inalienable right to self-determination and independence, while at the same time, denying Puerto Ricans that very same right. Specifically, the US has consistently refused to comply with 42 United Nations’ resolutions demanding that it immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k1w/k1wb1xdn6i https://webtv.un.org/en/asset/k15/k154ku9q8x

The US, far from being a democracy, has been a cancer to humanity. Evidence of that is the fact that today the world regards the US as the biggest threat to peace. The US is the sole reason why the Doomsday Clock is practically about to strike midnight!

A “democracy” against humanity!
