Since 19...Why nobody broadcasts the PR UN hearings?<br />Since 1960, the United Nations (UN) determined democratically that colonialism is a crime against humanity, because of its threat to world peace. The UN was primarily founded to ensure world peace.<br />Since that time, the UN has emitted 34 resolutions asking the United States (US) government to immediately decolonize Puerto Rico. What has been its reaction?<br />The US government maintains that its political relationship with Puerto Rico is an internal affair. How is it be possible that an international crime be a matter that is solely under the jurisdiction of the one who committed the crime? That is called to have a conflict of interest? Under that pretext, the US government has ignored all of the UN’s resolutions. <br />The US government likes to support plebiscites to determine what political status Puerto Ricans on the island want. That sounds democratic, but in a careful analysis, its purpose is deceit. Why?<br />The UN has already said what the solution is 34 times. The solution is the immediate decolonization of Puerto Rico. What that means is that the US government needs to give Puerto Rico her sovereignty, so that she could decide for herself what she wants to do without any outside interference. <br />A plebiscite is totally unnecessary, because Puerto Rico is not, as a colony, free to decide anything. And besides, the only option for a colony is independence. The reason why the US government likes plebiscites is because it knows that the 8 million Puerto Ricans will continue to fight amongst ourselves. And in that way, Puerto Rico remains its colony forever. <br />The US government controls the United Nations. It has prohibited the UN from broadcasting live the annual Puerto Rico decolonization hearing to keep the world ignorant about the fact that Puerto Rico is a US colony. Not even the colonial government of Puerto Rico broadcasts live these hearing on its government radio and television stations. This is proof that it does not represent the People of Puerto Rico!<br />Last year, we tried without success to get the Monday, June 22, 2015 hearing broadcast live. We are still committed to this campaign for this year’s hearing. What have we done thus far?<br />1. We have sent a certified letter to the UN’s Secretary General asking him to broadcast this year’s hearing.<br />2. We have written to the majority of the ambassadors to the UN to petition the UN to broadcast live these hearings.<br />3. We have contacted the majority of the legislators of the colonial government of Puerto Rico to broadcast live the hearing on its government run radio and television stations.<br />4. We have sent 2 letters directly to the president of the Puerto Rico colonial government- run media stations requesting these hearings to be broadcasted live.<br />5. I have asked in my request this year to address the UN’s Decolonization Committee (C-24) that the C-24 consider the broadcasting live of this hearing via its WEBCAST.<br />What people do to help?<br />1. Those with the ability to move people could hold a press conference to insist that the UN and the Puerto Rico colonial government broadcast this year’s hearing.<br />2. The petitioners to this year’s hearing could also ask in their request letter that the hearing be broadcasted live.<br />3. You could write letters to the C-24 and the Puerto Rico colonial government indicating that you want to watch this year’s hearing live on television.<br />4. Join the “To the Town Square with Oscar Our National Hero”. See link for more information.<br />5. Find a way to have Oscar López Rivera be able to talk to us on the radio from prison.<br />We must do these things, because those who refuse to decolonize don’t believe in JUSTICE FOR ALL! www.TodosUnidosDescolonizarPR.blogspot.com <br />José M.

T...Best 2015 UN Hearing Coverage about Puerto Rico<br /><br />The alternative news media, InformaciónAlDesnudo.com, will have the best coverage of the United Nations’ (UN) hearing about Puerto Rico’s 117 years of colonial relationship with the United States (US). This year’s hearing will be on Monday, June 22, 2015.<br /><br />For 3 consecutive Saturdays (June 6, 13 and 20), InformaciónAlDesnudo.com will be giving its listeners the most comprehensive coverage in order to provoke the widest involvement of the people interested in this subject. We hope to encourage them to continuously work together, so that our decolonization could occur sooner rather than later.<br /><br />The total delegation from Puerto Rico petitioning the UN’s Decolonization Committee will participate on the Saturday, June 20, 2015 program from 7 to 9 PM. These petitioners will share with our InformaciónAlDesnudo.com listeners what they will tell the Committee of 24. Our listeners will also have the opportunity to speak to our panelists to better understand what they hope to gain from their petitions at the UN. <br /><br />The spokesperson for United Partners for the Decolonization of Puerto Rico, José M. López Sierra, is part of the team for these 3 special programs. In addition to the petition that he will make to the UN, he is part of the committee that organized the 2nd Oscar – Mandela March in NYC. José is also a correspondent in Puerto Rico for InformaciónAlDesnudo.com. <br /><br />The 2nd Oscar – Mandela March in NYC will be on the same day as the UN’s hearing about Puerto Rico. We will march at 9 AM from Hunter College on 68th Street and Lexington Avenue to the Ralph Bunche Park across the Avenue from the UN. <br /><br />Help us spread the word about the media coverage, and our peaceful march to force the US government to comply with the 33 UN resolutions to immediately decolonize Puerto Rico.<br /><br />The UN determined that colonialism is a crime against humanity in 1960 for being a threat world peace. Therefore, UN is convinced that there could be no peace without justice. The US government knows that too, but it is much more interested in its overwhelmingly exaggerated profits around the world. That’s why we must continue to peacefully protest as long as necessary, because those who maintain colonies, don’t believe in justice for all!<br /><br />Those who demand exaggerated profits around the world, don’t believe in justice for all!<br /><br />Jose M Lopez Sierra<br />www.TodosUnidosDescolonizarPR.blogspot.com<br />787-429-1981<br />José M.

Puerto Rico has been a colony of the United States (US) government for the past 116 years. If the US government has the final say in what happens in Puerto Rico, what is the purpose of these elections? The purpose is to fool the world that Puerto Rico is a democracy. <br /><br />The United Nations (UN) declared colonialism a crime against humanity in 1960. The UN has asked the US government 33 times to decolonize Puerto Rico immediately. The US government has refused. It says that Puerto Rico’s political relationship with the United States is none of the UN’s business. The US says that it is a domestic affair.<br /><br />To appear that the US government wants to decolonize Puerto Rico, it promotes the use of plebiscites to determine what Puerto Ricans want. Doesn’t that sounds innocent and democratic? So what’s the problem?<br /><br />To begin with, the international community already rendered its verdict and determined that colonialism is illegal. So to have a political status option in a plebiscite that favors maintaining Puerto Rico a colony of the United States is not permitted. To have a political status option of Puerto Rico becoming a state of the United States is also not permitted under international law. The problem goes back to the beginning of this article. In order to have free elections, the country must be free. So before these elections and plebiscite could be valid, Puerto Rico would have to first be an independent nation.<br /><br />What people must realize is that Puerto Rico is a colony of the US because the US government wants it that way. That is why it has used terrorism to keep it that way. That is why it refuses to release the Puerto Rican political prisoner of 33 years Oscar López Rivera. That is also why it is ridiculous to believe that decolonization is a US internal matter in which the UN has no jurisdiction over. If we allow the US government to decolonize Puerto Rico, she will remain a colony of the United States forever!<br /><br />José M López Sierra<br />www.TodosUnidosDescolonizarPR.blogspot.com<br />José M.

That is a lie. The purpose for that is to have Puerto Ricans fight amongst themselves. The plan has been a huge success! Puerto Rico has been a colony of the United States for 116 years, and judging by the 80% voter turnout in the colonial elections, the majority of us has not realized that we have been lied to.<br /><br />In reality, there is only one option. The United Nations (UN) in 1960 determined that colonialism is a crime against humanity. Therefore, the only thing that Puerto Rico can do is to become her own nation. That means that the US must give Puerto Rico the sovereignty that the US illegally took away from her by virtue of the July 25, 1898 military invasion. <br /><br />Thus far, the US government has ignored the 33 UN resolutions asking it to immediately decolonize Puerto Rico. Instead, it has tried to hide these petitions, and at the same time appear to believe in democracy by pushing for plebiscites so that Puerto Ricans could decide between colonialism, being a US state, or independence (decolonization as required by the UN). <br /><br />The problem with the US pushed plebiscites are that they:<br /><br />1. don’t comply with international law that prohibits a nation to have a colony.<br />2. don’t comply with international law that requires the empire to give the sovereignty it illegally took away to its colony.<br />3. don’t comply with international law that requires that to have free elections, that country must be free first.<br />4. have 2 options that are not permitted by international law- continuing being a colony and becoming a state of the country that has the colony. For the option of becoming a state of the country that has the colony to be considered, the colony must first become her own nation (decolonized).<br /> <br />This is why we have to peacefully protest 3 times a year until the US government complies with the UN resolutions for Puerto Rico decolonization. <br /><br />José M López Sierra<br />www.TodosUnidosDescolonizarPR.blogspot.com<br />José M.
