Celebrating July 4 in Puerto Rico

Friday July 4, 2008
Do you find yourself on the Caribbean shores of Puerto Rico this July 4? If so, you'll find yourself in great position to celebrate independence day in American fashion, but with an island twist. Here are a few ideas on what to do:
  • Catch a baseball game: An all-American tradition in the U.S., you can follow custom on the island by catching a game at the Ciudad Deportiva Roberto Clemente, in Carolina (which is adjacent to San Juan). On July 4 the stadium hosts the RBI Baseball Tournament, which is sponsored by Major League Baseball. Order a piña colada and enjoy the game!
  • Barbecue!: Another fine July 4th tradition, visitors to the island can do the local version by heading out for some succulent lechón. A good lechón is the stuff of spit-roasted reverence: a whole suckling pig roasting over an open coal pit for hours until it is perfect. The best place to go for this island favorite is a lechonera, and there are several around the island. Perhaps the most famous destination for lechon is Guavate, in the town of Cayey. Head out of San Juan on Luis A. Ferré Expressway to the Guavate exit, and you'll find yourself on Route 184, a road so famed for its string of lechoneras that it's known as La Ruta del Lechón.
  • Relax on the beach: Let's face it. A July 4 holiday is mostly about family, feasting, and relaxing, right? Well, what better way to do that than to head to the beach? If you want to throw in the feasting, make your destination Piñones, a rustic retreat just outside of San Juan where you can enjoy the ocean, the sun, and everything from crispy fritters to gourmet meals.
So there you have it: three ways to honor July 4 in grand American fashion while you're in Puerto Rico. Enjoy, and Happy Fourth!

WHEN THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT OPPOSES YOUR RIGHT TO BE FREE!!

Puerto Ricans, who desire to be free, must always know that the federal government, here in the States has no “subject matter jurisdiction” over the person, case or location and should be challenged to proof it. These are magic words to learn when in Court for desiring freedom.

You won’t be told this in court but: All jury members, judges, attorneys, and employees working in federal court, must reside in federal territory to legally be a federal juror or touch your case or they can be commercially sued, disbarred and financially ruined for violating your constitutional rights etc.

Your god given right to be free is not wanted by the USA, it will oppose your desire for independence and freedom.

The USA has been the biggest alien invaders the world has ever known. In order to win your freedom you must oppose them by knowing that their weakness lies in their violations to the Constitution and to the common law and common law remedies.

The Federal Government owns Puerto Rico, because it is a slave colony—whether you like the idea or not. But the Federal Government takes orders from those who own and run this Country, but are not of this country. The International Bankers, who really own the USA, will let PR be free, only if enough real men of Boricua blood wish to be free.

The answer to your freedom lies in your Constitutional rights — To win –You must always reserve your constitutional, commercial rights and know what they are.

The majority of Americans have no idea that the USA has killed more Latinos, than Hitler Killed Jews, The USA has supported Traitors, Dictators, Gringitos, Butchers, Sociopaths, and Megalomaniacs who were supported and kept in power by these monsters, sucking up to the Anglo Alien Invaders.

Latin America has had enough of this form of genocide of Latinos. That includes other African, Asian etc. countries that lost millions of innocent people from USA aggression.

I want to vomit every time some ignorant fools says: “If you don’t like it here –go home”.

If the Alien Invaders would get out of each and every Latin Country and stop interfering in our affairs—it would make sense to say such a stupid thing. But unless the (Fed) Snakes get out of Latin America-we have just as much right to be here!!! So, grin and put up with it—this was once our land.

A Puerto Rican without a desire for independence and/or freedom from alien control has no soul of a man.

The fact that the public does not know that we are NOT free, makes no difference, to the desire to be free. The PR that wants Statehood is a Gringito, who has no soul of a man left in his traitor’s heart. Freedom is happening all over the world and yet we allow Gringitos to kill our right to be free.

A Gringito is a non-Anglo thing/person who internally is so inferior, that he desires to be what he can not be—thus Gringito means little gringo.

The Gringito is like an Uncle Tom to blacks or a collaborator and traitor to many others.

We allow the Alien Invaders to kill, harm, abuse, rape, and scam us and yet the Gringito wants to give our Country away.

This abuse must end. No man or woman is a real Man or real woman who is too scared to fight for their souls and be free. If you listen to the Gringito, you will lose your soul.

Thru out eternity Humanity owes its freedom from slavery, ONLY to brave souls who fought for your right to be free.

The fight will NOT succeed if you don’t fight the Gringito enemy at home first. He is there next door and claims he is a real man and tries to give you many excuses of why PR can’t be a free Country.

To give away your Country is not a right of aliens or foreigners with NO Puerto Rican Blood.
The right to vote on THIS ISSUE should Not be given to NON-Puerto Ricans.

The fight for the independence of Puerto Rico is now non-violent and will be won in the hearts of real men around the World.

The Ronbothunter,

A proud freedom loving Puerto Rican.
