news, [000:00:00;00]

the, [000:00:00;00] the the we went to bed and 2017. the and woke up and it was 19 o 3. no power. light the water no cell phones. i mean it's just like nothing was working. you

didn't know how your loved ones were doing except the ones and you had, you need immediate, initiating the hospitalization without borrowing doctors doing procedures with the flashlight from their cell phones. so once like your on your, on 40 on the, the also brain with the people of where to read we left with

with and we also love puerto rico the, the response to maria was really like a poster child of, of the relationship between, you know, puerto rico and, and the united states the situation in murray, it was not just created by maria. but what is maria? place 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 for today,

go as one of the interactions with getting to those a yes, it is possible to resist break the colonized mentality that these guys can be part of that there's nothing we can do to change the situation. the sensor input, the in the 1970s, when once that guy was in his early twenties, he chose to fight for the independence of his homeland. although many, puerto ricans were angry to buy a lack of political economy. only

a small percentage advocated full independence from the united states. even fewer chose ones passed of parent military operations and robbing banks. the last one i did was 33 years ago in the most of the times, my role was as the protection against the police coming so i was ready to engage in gunfire if it had to be to protect my comrades from,

from getting caught. so i had thought that through the the island of point the vehicle was 1st colonized by spain in 15 o 8. in 1898. it became a us call. yet it has retained its own cultural identity. today, nearly 3 and a half 1000000 people lived. a population greater than 21 of the 50 us states with close to has to live in poverty. the puerto rico is a us territory,

powerless to challenge options of the united states government that effective sp residents have no vote in congress or in presidential elections. the we had a subscription to time magazine and there was an issue in which the cover story was on prep schools in the us and i read it and, and over was covered prominently there. and it said they had 7 indoor basketball court that we had made it for very as, while the i had like a shark skin suit, which i thought was so cool. the 1st time i walk into the, the dining hall, maybe half an hour after my parents left and i felt homesickness. and as soon as i

walk into the show home and take maybe 10 steps, some guy goes you know, that's the 1st time i'd heard that word, let alone addressed in me. but i went up and slapped him in the face. you know, as hard as i could just and he was so shocked that he didn't do anything. and i went into the, to the co room, to have my coat and then go into the, the dining room. and you know, i said, holy, what if i've gotten myself for the senior year and over my, my professor for american history, mr. len james, he said sitting, how would you like to do a term paper in lieu of the final exam?

i said yeah, sure. and he said, why don't you do a paper on the spanish american war? and i did, and i came to harbor door in the library to bottles of the library to read the congressional record. and there's nothing like reading these guys talk on filtered on the one side. it was referring to us for practically as monkeys, in like the brown races and this and that are going away. and then you had guys like a william jennings bryan and the anti imperialist, saying this be trays all over the united states is about, well, you know, we, for the colonies, referral for independence. what are we? we're going to become a empire now. the for over 400 years where don't equal suffered as

a spanish colon but in 1897, spain granted the island, a degree of autonomy. many hopes that this was a step towards independence. but it turned out to be addendum the just months after point to he goes to the 1st election to the united states, invaded the item within 10 weeks, hopes of independence were dashed as the island was a next by the us. and then in 1970 the jones at made points so he can see us citizens like okay, we're gonna make you american citizens, which you didn't ask for even if we were offered citizenship with that and we would

prefer the, are you guys in line for rubbing the statue or i don't know, we were supposed to and all i see a lot of people doing it. so there you go. okay. who's next? but i do know that that's not john harvard know that there's no because he was dead by the time they did that. so some, some young man posed. so all done okay. is a year is not right. and he wasn't just the founder because he was one of, of a whole lot of so that's why they say this was the statue was a 3 lice. ah, okay. the year the,

that was my dorm room window on the top floor there. the, as i looked down that morning i was just starting to be light. it was a mist still on the yard which added to this kind of serial quality. and there was a ring of policeman setting up an outer perimeters. i mean, they all had these elements on visors and they set up a gauntlet on, on this door here. and you could hear the screaming and everything else and then started seeing the guys students who were in the building being evicted, one by one. the bigger everybody, i just pulled it on him is as they brought you down the stairs,

a kicking you and hitting you until you got to the battery. i can throw you in the battery where i can filled up anyway, then drove it out and then brought the next one. the answer that was was basically made the break for me from being an advocate of peaceful change and thinking that we could change things peaceful in understanding with these guys had to be for in a different way. for me that was the beginning of my radicalization. the crowd, man, the people inside the building. the

take a fresh look around his life. kaleidoscopic isn't just a shifted reality distortion by power to division with no real live indians. fixtures, design to simplify will confuse really once a better wills. and is it just as a chosen for you? fractured images, present it is. but can you see through their illusion going underground? can the can be sure. let's click the link on your team just to moves from campbell system to personalize. can use me over to, to go to the go to yes,

a corner and get them to a point where it's either give up or go down fighting and so they were pushed into that situation. and then of course, they responded and thought crushed and crushing away that is like, you know, like when they do, when they put the invaders, you know, put down all the freedom fighters, cut their hands off and put them on a place so everybody knows knows that don't mess with us because this is which waiting for you the why was approached by somebody i trusted very much and you said listen, there saw the underground movement is being organized in puerto rico for independence. and you know, we think you're
