The governor is the main man counted on to pass these new laws stopping law suits in California.

P.S. Understand that this program is dirty. The government has attempted to cause blacks and latino’s to be against each other in Oakland and other Northern California area’s. They don’t want any forms of unity against their attacks on freedoms. Don’t be apart of the deception, blacks and latinos with poor whites should protest this criminal activity. This program is stationed in L.A. but has offices in Oakland and Sacramento.

I think that it is important to address the civil liberties violations that are going on in Puerto Rico in tandem with addressing such violations going on against US citizens stateside, too. It is true that many of the same things are going on in both situations, in both locations.

However, I think that it is important to recognize the very specific racist, imperialist, and colonialist context of what’s going on in Puerto Rico. This civil liberties violations are part of a long history of American repression and oppression of Puerto Rico. The struggle for Puerto Rican independence is a centuries old one, first fought against Spanish rule and now against American colonialism. I wouldn’t want to see that struggle for national liberation subjugated in order to focus solely on civil liberties for American citizens.

Puerto Ricans in Puerto Rico shouldn’t have to worry about their rights as American citizens, because they shouldn’t be American citzens at all.

Frinstance, I see clear parallels to the supposed “thwarted attack” on Losa Angeles in that in that case too, no local officials were notified. Granted, there wasn’t the violent flare-up in that case, but the idea of cooperation with or even bare recognition of those outside the national Republican machine is a uniting thread that I think we should play up as much as it is useful.
