Puerto Rico couldn't hand him over because he was a FUGITIVE, that means people didn't know where he was. Well, people did know, we just don't snitch.

The autopsy declared he bled to death. The FBI claimed they didn't enter to rescue him because they suspected the place was booby trapped... Isn't it customary that when you suspect a place is booby trapped you BRING THE NECESSARY EQUIPMENT????

A while later, in April of this year, i think, the FBI again raided independentista's homes, taking files and computers and pepper spraying activists and, of concern to everyone, not just those in the movement, members of the press.

Irregardless of these events, the FBI has a long history of persecuting legal activities of independence activists in Puerto Rico, including clandestine surveillance, that lasted for many decades, and we suspect is still going on.

BTW, on some thread someone said we were poor and would let someone go in our property to hunt....First, we aren't third world, second... even if we were, that doesn't mean we wouldn't be insulted by that statement, and we'd let anyone search because we are courteous, not interested in money.

Just a lil heads up.

Filiberto Ojeda Ríos

Filiberto Ojeda Ríos (April 26, 1933 – September 23, 2005) was the "Responsible General" of the Boricua Popular Army, or Ejército Popular Boricua – Los Macheteros, a clandestine paramilitary, organization, considered by United States law enforcement agencies to be a terrorist organization, based on the island of Puerto Rico, with branches throughout the United States and other countries. Los Macheteros is an ultra-minority political group that campaigns, supports, and promotes the independence of Puerto Rico through violent means from what they characterize as an oppressive U.S. colonial rule they claim has lasted 107 years.

Notable acts / incidents

1970s

In January 2, 1977 one day after Carlos Romero Barcelo, a statehood advocate, was sworn in as Governor of Puerto Rico, two bombs were placed at an ROTC building in San Juan, Puerto Rico. The bombs were successfully destroyed by the police, but the Macheteros took responsibility for the incident.

In August 1978 they murdered San Juan police officer Julio Rodriguez Rivera while attempting to steal his police car for use in a terrorist attack.

In 1979, two attacks were made on unarmed US Navy sailors. In the first, on December 3rd, Macheteros opened fire on a bus carrying sailors, killing CTO1 John R. Ball and RM3 Emil E. White as well as wounding nine. A second attack, on off-duty sailors returning from liberty, killed one and wounded three. The attack was in retaliation for the murder in a prison of a member of the macheteros by the prison guards who were retired marine soldiers.

1980s

In a January 1981 attack, Machetero commandos infiltrated a Puerto Rican Air National Guard base and blew up 11 planes, causing approximately $45 million in damages.

However, their most famous act (likely because it took place in the continental U.S., and it directly dealt with money) was a Wells Fargo depot robbery of approximately $7 million in West Hartford, Connecticut (USA) on September 12, 1983. The group's code name for the robbery was "White Eagle" (or "Águila Blanca" in Spanish).

After the robbery, the Macheteros threw some of the stolen money into the air from high floor buildings and kept the remaining sum to fund their continued operations of robbery and violence. According to a written statement from the Macheteros, the action was a symbolic protest against the "greed-infested men and mechanisms which strain our elected officials, government agencies, and social aspirations in this country, as well as in Puerto Rico." Allegedly, several million dollars were sent to Cuba, most likely to fund the purchase of more weapons and explosives for bombs.

Under Puerto Rican, U.S., and international laws the act was considered as terrorist due to the way it was executed and the experience suffered by the Wells Fargo security guards.

The United States FBI charges for this robbery include: Aggravated Robbery, Aggravated Robbery of Federally Insured Bank Funds, Armed Robbery, and Conspiracy to Interfere With Commerce By Robbery.

1990s

In the 1990s Los Macheteros claimed responsibility on a bomb explosion that occurred in a small power station in the Puerto Rican metropolitan area. The explosion damages left some Puerto Ricans without electricity.

In that same decade, the group also vandalized a new fleet of government vans and trucks that were parked in a government facility. The damages left the automobiles non-operative.

The people of Puerto Rico feel they have the best of both worlds.

I wish the U.S. would force the Puerto Ricans to vote.


two choices

51st state of the U.S. or Independence.

If they vote to become a state.... WELCOME!

If they vote for Independence.... good luck.

America's debt problem is a "sign of leadership failure"

We have "reckless fiscal policies"

America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership.

Americans deserve better
