but what it, maria lays bare the reality. it strips it down to the bare bones. and you can really see that colonialism still exist in a few places and 40 go as one of them when in our actions where we are aimed at getting people say, yes, it is possible to resist and break the colonized mentality that these guys can't be beat on that there's nothing we can do to changed the situation with

a sense of input. in the 19 seventy's when once i got i was in his early twenties, he chose to fight for the independence of his homeland. although many pointed to weakens where anger to buy a lack of political autonomy, only a small percentage advocated full independence from the united states. even fewer chose wines, path of paramilitary operations, and robbing banks. last one i did was 33 years ago. most of the time to my role was because the protection against the police coming

so i, i was ready to engage and gunfire it had to be to protect my comrades from, from getting caught. and also on i had thought that through with with the island of point article was 1st colonized by spain in 15 o 8. in 1898. it became a u. s. com. ah, yes,

it has retained its own cultural identity. today nearly 3 and a half 1000000 people of a population greater than 21 of the 50 u. s. states might close to half a 1000000 poverty point. the vehicle is a u. s. territory powerless to challenge actions of the united states government that affected people. residents have no vote in congress or in presidential elections. we had a subscription to time magazine and there was an issue which the cover story was on the prep schools in the us. and i read it and over was covered prominently there

on the one side that was also referring to us for practically as monkeys in like the brown races and listen that are going away. and then you had guys like go william jennings, bryan and the anti imperialist saying is, betrays all over the united states. as of all, we know, we fought the colonies, revolver, independence, what we were going to become an empire now with for over 400 years, point eco suffered as a spanish colony but in 1897, spain granted the island a degree of autonomy. many hoped that this was a step towards independence, but it turned out to be a dead end. with just months after winter, he goes to 1st election and the united states invaded the oh. within 10

weeks, hopes of independence were dashed. as the island was annexed by the u. s. and then in 1917, that jones act made point though he can see us citizens with like, okay, you're gonna make you american citizens, which you didn't ask for. that even if we were offered the citizenship with happened, we would prefer are wrong with you guys in line for a robin the statue or applies to rob it. i don't know if you're supposed to and all i see a lot of people doing it. so i am, there you go. okay, who's next? i do know that that's not john harvard now did it. no,

they all had these elements on with visors and they set up a gauntlet on, on this door here. when i, when you get here, the screaming and everything else and then started seeing the guys, the students who were in the building being evicted one by one. i just pulled down. and as they brought you down the stairs, a kicking you and hitting you until you got to the bad wagon through you and the bad wagon filled it out and drove it out. and then brought the next one in which was apparently injured. and that was what basically made the break for me from being an advocate of peaceful change and thinking that we could change

things peacefully. understanding that these guys had to be fought in a different way for me. that was the beginning of my radicalization. policemen are a little the crowd man, group of people inside the building. ah ah, is your media a reflection of reality in a world transformed what will make you feel safe for the tycer lation whole community? are you going the right way or are you being that somewhere? direct? what is true? watches faith in the world corrupted. you need to descend
