More than stupid it’s criminal
By José M. López Sierra – Puerto Rico

The United States (US) talks about competition, but wants a monopoly. The US talks about democracy, but wants imperialism. The Jones Act is not a stupid law with a stupid name, it is criminal. Please click on the following link for more: https://youtu.be/QExJbWWwXDc
The US militarily invaded Puerto Rico in 1898 to make her a US colony. That was how the Jones Act came to Puerto Rico. Therefore, it has nothing to do with Puerto Rico’s right to her sovereignty and self-determination. The US, hoping that no one remembers, lectures today about Russia’s “unprovoked war of choice” against Ukraine!
The US has ignored 41 United Nations resolutions asking her to immediately return Puerto Rico’s sovereignty to the Puerto Ricans. The US is committing a crime against humanity by refusing to decolonize Puerto Rico. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otzBslJLbI0
The US chooses to be a criminal in order to make her oligarchs richer. Do you know that 8 of the 10 richest men in the world are US citizens? Therefore, the US is a plutocracy.
Do you know that 300,000 US citizens die every year from preventable causes, and that 38 million US citizens today live in poverty? And yet, the US wants to go to war with China that has already eradicated her own poverty, while she has 4 times the US’ population!
The Jones Act doesn’t make any sense in democracy. It is, however, completely consistent with imperialism.
The Jones Act is US imperialism.
