DAYBOOK ITEM/PHOTO DESK
FAMILIES, FRIENDS & SUPPORTERS OF SUBPOENAED PUERTO RICANS
TO CALL ON FEDERAL GRAND JURY TO STOP THE REPRESSION
A protest has been called by community leaders, friends, family and
supporters of Puerto Ricans subpoenaed by a Federal Grand Jury to
demand an end to the repression against them and all Puerto Ricans.
They will also call on all New Yorkers concerned about civil and human
rights to join them at a picket in front of the Brooklyn Federal Court
at 9:30 am on Monday, July 28, 2008.
The picket will coincide with similar acts and rallies in Puerto Rico
at the Federal court in HatoRey on July 27, 2008 at 6:00pm. TANIA
FRONTERA, a graphic designer, and CHRISTOPHER TORRES, a social worker,
have been ordered to appear before the Grand Jury at the Brooklyn
Federal Court investigating the Puerto Rican independence movement.
Various motions will be argued in favor that the 'Motions to quash'
the subpoenas be held in open court and not in 'secret' and that the
government reveal 'illegal surveillance' sources. Two groups: Puerto
Rico Committee for Human Rights and the National Boricua Human Rights
Network have filed motions to intervene in support to have the
subpenas thrown out on constitutional grounds. These motions will be
argued by their lawyers at the Brooklyn Federal Court on Monday, July
28th at 10:00 am.
Puerto Rican activists in New York and Puerto Rico maintain that the
subpoenas are part of a larger, systematic campaign to repress the
independence movement in Puerto Rico and instill fear and discord
among its allies and supporters. It's the latest chapter of a long
history of repression waged against Puerto Rican community.
WHAT: Elected officials, community leaders, family and friends and
supporters of subpoenaed Puerto Ricans demand an end to the repression
WHEN: Monday, July 28, 2008 at 9:30 am
WHERE: Brooklyn Federal Court, 225 Cadman Plaza East and Tillary Street
The Hostos Grand Jury Resistance Campaign, a coalition formed in New
York in response to the recent round of grand jury subpoenas, calls on
all freedom loving and progressive people to picket in front of the
Brooklyn Federal Court on July 28, 2008 at 9:30 am to support TANIA
FRONTERA and CHRISTOPHER TORRES, who have been subpoenaed to the federal
grand jury investigating the Puerto Rican independence movement. Various
motions will be argued by their lawyers before Judge Carol B. Amon of the
Brooklyn Federal Court.
So far, since the new year of 2008, Puerto Ricans Tania Frontera, a
graphic designer, Christopher Torres, a social worker, Julio Pabon, a
filmmaker, Elliot Monteverde Torres, a lawyer and spokesperson for the
Vieques Alliance (a New York based coalition that fought to rid the US
Navy from the island municipality of Vieques, Puerto Rico) and a fifth
person, an independentista and human rights activist, have been subpoenaed
to the Brooklyn Federal Court in New York City. They attest that they
will not be intimidated nor allow for their political ideas to be
suppressed.
Historically, the US government has used the federal grand jury since
the 1930's an instrument of political internment of Puerto Rican
pro-independence activists. Those who refused to testify by exercising
the established pro-independence political principle of 'non
collaboration' to the grand jury can be held in 'contempt of court'
and imprisoned.

WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OPPOSES YOUR RIGHT TO BE FREE!!
Puerto Ricans, whether they are called Independents (independentistas), Patriots or Nationalists or Freemen, who desire to be free, must always know that the federal government, here in the States has no “subject matter jurisdiction” over the person, case or location and should be challenged to proof it. These are magic words to learn when in Federal Court for desiring freedom for your/our Country.
You won’t be told this in court but: All jury members, judges, attorneys, and employees working in federal court, must reside in federal territory to legally be a federal juror or touch your case or they can be commercially sued, disbarred and financially ruined for violating your constitutional rights etc.
Your God given right to be free is not wanted by the USA, it will oppose your desire for independence and freedom, because the Federal USA is a profit based Corporation.
The Federal Government is a District of Columbia “Corporation”, as are all the States of the USA. What you know of as the USA, is NOT a Republic, but a multi-based Corporation acting as a Country. These Corporations were formed for the benefit of the real owners. Since June of 1933, everything since then, is under Contract law or commercial law, aka Admiralty law, to benefit your masters in power.
The Federal Government owns Puerto Rico as an ASSET, because it is a slave colony—whether you like the idea or not. But the Federal Government takes orders from those who own and run this (Corporation) Country, but are not of this country. The International Bankers, who really own the corporations called the USA and also the Federal Reserve, will let the slaves of PR be free, only if enough real men of Boricua blood wish to be free, by reserving their rights under the Constitution. Their books will be adjusted and we will be free.
The answer to your freedom lies in your Constitutional rights --- To win --You must always reserve your constitutional, commercial rights and know what they are and how to do so.
A Puerto Rican without a desire for independence and/or freedom from alien control has no heart and soul of a man.
The fact that the public does not know that we are NOT free, makes no difference, to the desire to be free. The PR that wants Statehood is a Gringito, who has no soul of a man left in his traitor's heart. Freedom is happening all over the world and yet we allow Gringitos to kill our right to be free.
A Gringito is a non-Anglo THING, IT is not really a “person”, just like a mass murderer is more like an animal than a person, who internally is so inferior, that he desires to be what he can not be—thus Gringito means little gringo.
The Gringito is like an Uncle Tom to blacks or a collaborator and traitor to many others. To us he/she is all three and much worst. The “It or thing” I call Gringito, is the enemy of freedom -- all thru out HUMAN history.
We allow the Alien Invaders to kill, harm, abuse, rape, and scam us and yet the Gringito wants to give our Country away.
This abuse must end. No man or woman is a real Man or real woman who is too scared to fight for their souls and be free. If you listen to the Gringito, you will lose your soul.
Thru out eternity, humanity owes its freedom from slavery, ONLY TO BRAVE SOULS who fought and DIED for your right to be free.
The fight will NOT succeed if you don't fight the Gringito enemy/traitor/collaborator at home first. He is there next door and claims he is a real man and tries to give you many excuses of why PR can't be a free Country.
To give away your/our/my Country is not a right of alien invaders, visitors or foreigners with NO Puerto Rican Blood.
The right to vote on THIS ISSUE should NOT be given to NON-Puerto Ricans.
The fight for the independence of Puerto Rico is now non-violent and will be won in the hearts of real men around the World.
The Ronbothunter,
A proud freedom loving Puerto Rican.
