Puerto Rico Collapse Imminent: All Hell Is About to Break Loose in America's Colony
Originally posted to The Orwellian Chronicle Blog
May Day in Puerto Rico was met with large union protests island wide. #ParoNacional protests swelled across the island effectively shutting it down. The day started off peaceful but eventually tensions rose and protesters clashed with police after several buildings in San Juan’s “Golden Mile” district were vandalized. Police arrested 14 protesters and fired tear gas into hostile crowds.

The situation is quickly escalating and Puerto Rico does not have the resources to deal with this. I am predicting that all hell is about to break loose.

People are furious over cuts to public employee benefits, higher water rates, privatization of government operations, and tax hikes. Puerto Rico’s working class is being hit the hardest. Puerto Rico owes an estimated 70 billion dollars it cannot currently repay.
There is also outrage over the prospect of funding being cut to the islands only state university. Massive cuts are also being proposed for schools across Puerto Rico.
The job outlook is grim and there is a mass exodus of Puerto Ricans coming to the US mainland looking for work. It is estimated that roughly 500,000 people have left Puerto Rico looking for jobs in the last decade. The island is home to 3.4 million American Citizens.

People on the streets are yelling things like “Ricky is selling the island!” referring to Governor Ricardo Rosello. The belief is that Puerto Rico is being sold into financial slavery to Wall Street fat cats.

The truth is that the budget crisis has been looming for decades as prior administrations borrowed money without ever caring to deal with budget deficits that would eventually balloon to create the crisis we are seeing today. Puerto Rico has not been able to reach an agreement with bondholders and debtors.
There is a sentiment among these protesters that they have had enough of Puerto Rico’s government corruption and disastrous fiscal policy and resent Washington for covering up Wall Street predatory lending.
Mark my words, the island is primed for massive upheaval. Record unemployment coupled with government job cuts, government employee benefit cuts, education cuts, and an astronomical crime rate and austerity measures will push people to the brink. Governor Ricardo Rosello and Washington D.C. are going to lose control of the island within the next 6 to 12 months and will require a declaration of civil emergency and deployment of the national guard.
Puerto Rico can no longer remain a colony, a decision has to be made as to whether Puerto Rico will become and independent nation, or obtain statehood. Residents on both sides of the statehood/independence argument have one thing in common, they resent colonialism.

The movement in Puerto Rico has begun linking with the Venezuelan peoples protest movement.

yeah, they are the new world version of greece
I’ve said it for decades, we should jettison PR. That phony vote years ago by them: whether to stay a possession of USA or become a state, was for fools. The PR’s don’t want to pay US Fed taxes, and voted to stay on our dime. We should can them. Of course that’ll never happen-special interests & greedy politicians will keep them, and we’ll bail them out again-we are BROKE going down the tubes too, SOON.
Ah hah
Very interesting.
soon to happen to many countries that have gone way beyond their means..america is leading everyone down the gurgler…be interesting to see the debt level per head of population. probably better than americas….that being less for PR citizens.. america has been sucking the life blood out of the worlds economy since the introduction of the petrodollar..problem is they cannot handle it either
when shit hits the fan any pink pussy hat is going down
Mama always told me, never trust a puerto rican.
they could start growing opium for the cia like other countries not paying their bills
Always consider that Puerto Ricans are born US Citizens. There are certain restrictions for Puerto Ricans as far as voting goes, If a Puerto Rican currently resides in Puerto Rico he does not have representation in congress and cannot vote in the Presidential Election. You can’t vote in Presidential elections but you can be drafted and sent off to war. Puerto Ricans have fought in every US war in the last century. 20,000 Puerto Ricans were drafted in WW1 from the island, during WW2 65,000 served, during the korean war 61,000 served, during the vietnam war 48,000 served and produced 4 medal of honor recipients. 20,000 in the Gulf War and the 65th infantry regiment segregated Puerto Rican unit was awarded with the congressional gold medal.
Many of these men served the United States military without having the right to vote for the President that would send them off to war. They never complained either. Until you know the history of Puerto Rico you cant simplify the different angles of the situation you have to look at the bigger picture and historical perspective.
