I know Pants of Dog. They don't study their own history in this side of the world. That is why it is imperative that in order to understand political and economic policy you must be very dedicated and take each nation's history independently and study it. In depth. If you see a pattern? Latch on to that. Follow the money. Like you have done. You followed the money with the video. There are loads of information of analysis of how the USA got rich off of Puerto Rico.
People who believe that the USA is prone to give out money and not expect anything in return really don't understand how nations in history get rich and powerful in the first place. They live with crap illusions about the Power of Myth that wealth is created by some magical shit formula that doesn't involve ripping working people off and owning and controlling banks, investments, real estate and using the gov't and the military to FORCE people into compliance.
It amazes me everyday that people really believe all this crap about "The Puerto Ricans themselves don't vote for statehood." The PNP was not founded by Puerto Ricans. It was cooked up in Washington DC by people scared shitless about losing control of the Caribbean islands and their golden egg nest of profits. Rich did you know the PNP pro statehood party was not founded by Puerto Ricans? You did not? Why not?
The PNP was founded by a Cuban exile who lost all his money when Fidel Castro kicked his ass out of Cuba and he became wealthy in Puerto Rico owning cement factories etc and feared not being able to free Cuba outside of Cuba without American conservative Republican minded help....so the Republican party cooked up a Cuban exile Right winger to found the Puerto Rican statehood party. Why would they do so? Why not an American white English speaking man? Because they needed someone Latino with impeccable Spanish and similar culture to sell it to the local island Puerto Ricans. And the local island Puerto Ricans were not going to accept a leader who was Anglo and spoke English and was not part of their culture or society as a leader of a political party on the island seeking local control.
Did you know that Rich?
Luis A. Ferre was the son of Cuban exiles. Half French and half Cuban and his father was involved in enginnering with the Panama Canal. His brother became a politician in Miami Florida. Ironically his daughter Rosario Ferre born and raised Puerto Rican is pro independence and disagreed with her father's political ideas. Mainly because she believes the USA is not interested in statehood.
All political history is worth studying.
A lot of people in the US have no idea how the US has enforced capitalism at gunpoint in Latin America despite the wishes of the populace.
