Puerto Rico, 112 Years of US Occupation

Wikipedia, "Charge of the Rough Riders at San Juan Hill"

It is time the hoax that the puppeteers of the US Government perpetrate against US taxpayers, the colonization of independent countries of the world needs to stop.

The Spanish/American War of 1898, started over a questionable incident, the sinking of the USS Maine. A mysterious explosion sank the Maine in Havana Harbor. The “system of government” in the US is only an apparatus to further the agendas of corporations and members running foreign world banks. Wars are waged based on lies. Torture, rape, robbery, murder, and enslavement all occur with the American Flag waving.

Iraq and Afghanistan are colonies of the US. Look at history. Are the Philippines, Guam, Puerto Rico, Hawaii, Wake Island, and other countries and territories under US occupation with original consent of the conquered, or is it all a result of dirty US wars? Is Haiti now a colony of the US? Costa Rica has allowed US authorities to start running “Law Enforcement” and covert operations under the guise of a “Drug War”. Is Costa Rica now a US colony? What about Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia? Are they just sites for CIA torture prisons, torture training camps, landing strips, and covert operation staging grounds?

The war for freedom, and to allow the existence of sovereign nations might just be a world war against banksters and their corporate counterparts.

Spanish–American War
[source]

The Spanish–American War was a conflict in 1898 between Spain and the United States.^[6] Revolts against Spanish rule had been endemic for decades in Cuba and were closely watched by Americans; there had been war scares before, as in the Virginius Affair in 1873. By 1897–98 American public opinion grew more angry at reports of Spanish atrocities. After the mysterious sinking of the American battleship Maine in Havana harbor, political pressures from the Democratic Party pushed the government headed by President William McKinley, a Republican, into a war McKinley had wished to avoid.^[7] Compromise proved impossible; Spain declared war on April 23, 1898; the U.S. Congress on April 25 declared the official opening as April 21.

Although the main issue was Cuban independence, the ten-week war was fought in both the Caribbean and the Pacific and was notable for a series of one-sided American naval and military victories. The outcome by late 1898 was the Treaty of Paris which was favorable to the U.S., followed by temporary American control of Cuba and indefinite colonial authority over Puerto Rico, Guam and the Philippines. The defeat and subsequent end of the Spanish Empire was a profound shock for Spain's national psyche. The victor gained several island possessions spanning the globe and a rancorous new debate over the wisdom of imperialism.^[8]
