a. population area. for the last sixty years we have been breathing. and the reason why we have. percent higher cancer rate. but look at these beautiful. miles on and off. white thing. not a beer cans. an example for the rest of the country to relieve you. is worth every little bit of struggle. getting back to.

the old. days. is not convenient for a small community in one thousand be believed on the name the legend he now is set in presley. and then all the communities like ok now australia and then people that go on the edge of the ages dizzy how we do know how the how we fight with the same . fight this fight this. fight because santa.

and the navy gets over ninety a million dollars a year for renting their fire range in the eastern end of the island and yet. they still remain in that area to all nato nations all allies come and bomb you and the people of yes the government of that does not get a cent i don't know is ninety eight million dollars. so it's very hard to let go they do tend to spoil where no one found has diabetes our civil disobedience represented the diabetes because every time that we interrupt their maneuvers i mean they do see money. the act is a small island off the eastern coast of puerto rico in the caribbean sea the spanish crown claimed the island in fourteen ninety three following columbus a second voyage to the america in one thousand nine hundred eight the u.s.

evicted spain from the caribbean following the spanish-american war and to recall and with it be a case became a military possession of the united states. for years the u.s. was pressured to ground point to take away their statehood or independence but refused the offer either instead commonwealth emerged as a compromise allowing some local autonomy but the u.s. retain control over defense transportation immigration communication and foreign trade. american citizens they can be drafted they cannot vote for president today because the only former spanish colony in the americas that never gained independence and be a case has remained upon in the complicated relationship between the united states and puerto rico. i was born in puerto rico the thirtieth of december night in forty six. i

moved to be at the age of three months old i went to school here i grew up in this house i graduated high school late in sixty four believe years of night in sixty five i married my first wife and when she became pregnant i had to stop my studies and go to new york so that she could be near a specialist i arrived in new york on february ninth being nine hundred sixty six i found myself with four different jobs factories which i didn't care for i would quit so i wrote my joining the army. when i got to i worked in the communications center for six days and i was going crazy over one hundred teletypes going to the same time and the only way to get out of there was volunteered to go infantry so i did

i was a completely dedicated soldier i got even bronze stars for service the war i carried seventy two missions disappointment. i was an expert reading maps in kompas i lead the group into the jungle. i could find my way around the tropical jungles of zion grown up here. i am learning english i'm also learning part of the culture. so i am becoming influenced by the youth movement. then i realized that we had no business being there. after that i lost. my whole tour went for six years then i came out of the on the g.i. bill to be called a commercial artist. i

consider it one of my my ways of contributing to the struggle is a means of communications has been a means of communications throughout the history of the world from the case. to present time. once it is finished people will see it and the words that are printed remain printed we cannot be carried away by the wind like spoken the words and if it helps my island. and i think is in my contribution to the struggle because i have how we paint anything else other than the struggle of the it is since i can remember these nine hundred eighty one basically all i painted and any stroebel. live.

in one thousand forty one as german forces found across here at the united states declared a national emergency and expropriated twenty one thousand acres and. the intention was to create a naval base big enough to accommodate the entire british navy should germany defeat england. even those who were opposed to the us presence and. were reluctant to criticize expropriations that were done in the name of defeating fascism. after the war the us navy decided that it would be used instead as a target area and training site and seize another four thousand acres on the island . and the western and the navy built hundreds of bunkers to store the weapons on the eastern and they created a target zone to detonate. for almost sixty years the citizens of vegas were left wedged and only twenty three percent of the island sandwiched between a weapons depot and

a bombing so. i want all of this whenever i have a chance but when someone like you brings me here so that i may reminisce about how things were it's not easy. in this area here more or less is where our house used to be. the navy had a v.a. can see who was there in charge of delivering the terrible messages. and he said to my mom looks trina that was my mother's nickname i come to give you the message that you have to move from this area because the navy has bought it and my mother who never went to school was not a professor who understood that she was born in this area and was raised there because she said to him look this is mine this is my house i have lived here all

my life she did not believe him because she thought it was unheard of. and we stayed the next day the bulldozers arrived to knock down the house. on the muscle and my mother only had time to run into the house and grab a bed sheet and i don't know because we were not rich we were poor and humble people but it was our. pick up some john is it some pots tied to bed sheets by the four corners and run to the street to watch the machine knocking down the house. and police and first i thought it was a big toy four years old totally innocent but my mother when i looked at her face she was crying.

i invaded three acres here i am in the marine one hundred fifty for the one we stalled the beach. we play. we did the full maureen corps storming of the beaches and be acres in training for what we would have to do in korea. i put in the. courier and foxholes. this charged and came back to take a look here also though it was some messages to some family. because they were we had. people in who didn't come back. i was one of the intentions but i didn't really want to see what reactors looked like with. the name of the. three or as soon as i was able to come back.

i had. four since the early sixties way first. the reality of the situation was a political one over the seventy eight municipalities of puerto rico but in real life it's a world apart. and historically has been used as the bargaining chip between the. washington and want not with. washington gets the bases sour wine gets the bar. sat. the navy has not contributed in any in order way to.

really know. ground troop inspections or. navy never had more than a person out on the whole i am. became kind of like. for weaponry you know try a french exercise and as a british. they were advertising they used by any allies already qualified certified inventor try anything here. a second to a good doing is advertised. as to their shooting gallery and be acres for any size you and i. may wonder if a fleet of. worldwide inventory of. conventional weapons.

figures has no traffic jams there are no chimneys there are no plastic factories on the hills dumping stuff and so the old mill stream. there's nothing between us on the coast of africa. three thousand miles of open ocean and one bombing range. meanwhile where are. all these heavy metal oracles which your identified as explosive residue. i played soldiers. i had no idea of heavy metals and p.c.b. . the continue to fight sort of napalm and so forth. we're talking about a silent invisible killers in the air that i get angry i get angry and

hazy has poisoned me. always on my wife or even my children fords and my grandchildren my neighbors and so forth. reba. my name is made a leader not a guy. i've been living in vehicles for thirty seven years. i moved here with my husband charlie to drop out and because it was the perfect place for what we wanted which was to live off the land while the sea trolley was fishing. and raise a family by the sea it was that and idle come true. i found out i had. at a time in my life when i was feeling so wonderful i so great now.

very active and. commentary from many friends wow great you gloat really glowing was wonderful. but i had been having some symptoms so i went to the doctor. it was on a thursday. and i monday the next week i was and. it was an unforgettable day for me because we had a town dissembling that day and we were paying homage to former community members die from cancer. and i almost laughed as i was sitting there waiting to get up because i'm thinking you know. well we're fighting. big statistics and now i have become one of the

statistics. and i must make the navy pay for this. we did heavy metals testing on everybody in our family doug read the little babies all three generations every single person that was tested in this family for heavy metals is contaminated at toxic levels. been through neutering cancer extraction of my reproductive organs radiation treatments etc. i mean you never know is it going to come back is it going to spread is it going to do this out of the other you have to take it day by day we're trying doing and i feel great. and if it comes back i feel that. i've got a hell of a lot more knowledge right now as to how to keep myself feeling good. what

i must deal with right now is a health situation in this community where the rate of cancer is twenty seven percent higher than the rest of puerto rico and growing. if you do get cancer you have fifty percent more probability of dying here than in for it don't recall. kids between the age of eleven and nineteen have more than a fifty percent chance contracting cancer and their peers in puerto rico a time except. we have undergone a process where we are now a way we are now learning and we are ready you know are to get out there and be advocates for ourselves.

the first time i came to vegas was in then one nine hundred ninety. i wanted to go back to puerto rico i used to live in new york for thirty years with my children some my wife and i decided to go to puerto rico but my friend. told me why don't you come to vegas you know this is like a pot of i.c.u. you can buy a piece of land then build the house i said i would i would go over there and. have a look and see if i like this i came and i like it. when i was in the yard i didn't know a thing about the problem of because you know all dug my friends than me knowing big as we got in the navy but don't want to leave you come to vegas you don't we don't have nothing to do with the navy that's something that is over there out of the business we didn't pay attention to. what

makes me change my mind was the case of my friend the one who took me into coming to vehicles. he used to. show fish. and these. he was picked up by his father in the oval was a fisherman. used to collect these fish from the naria and the. so on. he got sick. two years later he died in the central many cohens on one. couple of months before he died they be the head stool and blood test for heavy metals and he came out point six single point twelve of you running. you can mount point six zero. on arsenic and america.

and the doctor said that this is impossible the human being can not hold all these gun timing nation in his body so they did it twice and then he came out again to saying. that he had value in the house beat that on scenes he's very ill the day of his burial i was in the cemetery when these golfing when down the hall. i commit myself i will join the struggle into the navy will leave. i can time united to. when my friend i one month we bury him coming to the meeting showing people how how we do see the disobedience what will happen when they come to our cause so i fall in love with this troll. is for and all the things that i my life i work in

this because for almost eight years when i was like seventeen years old. and i was a commercial artist and i did so many things in my life so i said the most interesting part of my life is getting involved with this people in this struggle because this is a really hostile deal with life with people so i fall in love with this. and here i know what. was. in the roof the whole thing about this struggle is that different people do different things and different people contribute to the struggle in different ways my my part is i go through many a struggle on the comedy. i don't do it for profit i do it for nothing be something that i love to do i give all of my time in this and many other people do the same thing you know the artist do their year old the painting different people

contribute in different ways that's why our goals are going to be accomplished to stop the bombing and because i don't get the radio. the navvy i came to the casting lantern and he want to work i came here to work and stayed for eleven years already i got married to have a sauna house so it looks like i'll be here for a while and be a cancer. i have a lot of pressure on me from my parents mind a long sometimes sad you're irresponsible you don't take care of your child you spend all your time on the streets if the band is going to leave you. but we believe that when we strengthen women we strengthen the family. family the women this alliance over u.k.'s really strong the concerns of legislative a colleague and a friend who works with schools at

a time when you didn't hear the presence of the military. so it up yes we knew about the bombs yes they were going to work and on the issue of the military presence and much to our surprise there were very few women participating. i invited gladys to my house and i said look. i'm so upset so we decided let's announce in return of the women a few camps and see what happens. we were surprised because we were professional women housewives it was different political ideology and religion. because in reality we had our differences other than our views regarding of the military presence and by.
