Hi,

Here are two more!

On July 25, 1978 (anniversary of the 1898 US invasion of PR and the 1952 Constitution of PR), the police again carried out a plan to assassinate two men who advocated independence for Puerto Rico. They were lured by the police to a mountaintop where the killings occurred. The police alleged that the men were killed in self-defense. A senate investigation, however, revealed that they were in fact killed cold-bloodedly by police as they pleaded for their lives.

The most recent act of state terrorism was the assassination of Filiberto Ojeda Ríos by the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI). On the very day when Puerto Ricans who favor independence celebrated an uprising during Spanish colonialism called, “El Grito de Lares,” FBI agents shot and allow Ojeda Ríos – a fugitive and independence advocate -to bleed to death at his home in Hormigueros, Puerto Rico. The FBI could have arrested him at any time. But, it chose rather to have a confrontation with him, so that he could be assassinated precisely on this meaningful day for the Puerto Ricans who want independence for their homeland (September 23, 2005).

With a history like this, who could believe that decolonization could ever be possible through a process whereby the United States (US) has control over? Isn’t this why we study history to answer a question like this?

Therefore, the best way for a serious Puerto Rico (PR) decolonization is by protesting the hypocrisy of democracy in a colony by way of a PR elections boycott, followed by a decolonization process via the United Nations. But for that, Puerto Ricans must learn our history so that we don’t continue making the same mistakes over and over again! That reminds me of what my history teacher used to say: “Those who don’t remember the past are condemned to relive it.” Do we dare to remember? And if we can’t, terrorism has worked brilliantly!

Sincerely,
José
