Public. "In another sense the word does not mean all the people, nor most of the people, nor very many of the people of a place but so many of them as distinguishes them from the few". Black’s Law Dictionary, 4-6 Ed.

As a result of the substitution fraud engendered by the "election" of Abraham Lincoln as the "President" of the British Territorial Corporation doing business as "the United States of America, Incorporated" in 1860, and his subsequent usurpation of powers belonging to the Federation of States and The President of The United States of America under False Pretenses, there has been a continuing confusion about "Which Public?" is to be served by the Federal Government Subcontractors --- their own "public" consisting of their own incorporated "citizenry", or our General Public of the American States?

The quick answer is that their organizations exist because of their respective Constitutions, but they are not parties to nor beneficiaries of the Constitutions. They are paid employees charged with duties and limitations provided by the Constitutions. Federal Employees denoted as Federal Citizens, or specifically as U.S. Citizens or citizens of the United States, work under the provisions of their respective Constitutions, but have no Guarantees provided by the Constitutions, for they are not Parties to the Constitutions nor Creators of the Constitutions.

This has always been the case, ever since the implementation of the Constitutions in 1787, 1789, and 1790, respectively.

In respect to the American Federal Subcontractor, the States of America functioning under The Constitution for the united States of America, provisions were made to enable Americans born in the States of the Union (the original Union, not anything to do with the Civil War) to retain their Constitutional Guarantees as American State Citizens on a private basis while rendering international public service as employees of the original Federal Republic government.

This arrangement was known as "Federal Dual Citizenship" and was set up by the first Naturalization and Immigration Act --- this phrase "Federal Dual Citizenship" has since been redefined and subverted to mean that present day Federal Subcontractor Employees from anywhere on Earth are "presumed to be" both Territorial U.S. Citizens and Municipal citizens of the United States, but this is not the customary and intended meaning of the Public Law still standing among the United States Statutes at Large, Unrevised.

The British Territorial Government made no such provisions, because their U.S. Citizens already owe allegiance to the British Monarch and have adopted British Territorial/Commonwealth political status the same as the people of Puerto Rico, which is a British Commonwealth nation.

The Municipal Government run by the Holy Roman Empire similarly never referenced Americans; their citizens of the United States were understood to have their Federal Dual citizenship allocated already by their allegiance to the Pope/Roman Pontiff.

Thus, among the original Federal Subcontractors, you had three different possible kinds of "Federal Dual Citizens":

United States Citizens - American State Citizens

U.S. Citizens - British Territorials citizens of the United States -- Holy Roman Empire citizens.

This results in three distinct populations with unique political identities and "public" bodies associated with each.

None of these "publics" are the Public to be served under the provisions of any Federal Constitution, though enterprising public servants have usurped against the Employers and sought to substitute their "publics" for the American Public.

When the American Federal Subcontractor ceased to function in April 1861, the other two foreign Federal Subcontractors rushed in to fill the gap and to provide the services and exercise the authority and delegated powers of the American Federal Republic in its "absence".

This has been their story and excuse ever since. They, both Britain and Rome, have told the world that the American Government is unaccountably "absent", "missing, presumed dead", and "in interregnum".

All that is or ever has been "missing" is a Subcontractor of our government, not our actual government which delegated all the federal powers in the first place.

The two remaining foreign Federal Subcontractors freely misrepresented themselves as our custodians and representatives, usurped the powers delegated to the American Federal Republic, and exercised those delegated powers without a contract to do so.

From the perspective of the trusting American Employers, all appeared to be well. The duties of the Federal Republic were being accomplished and the exact details of how this was being done -- via the two other Federal Subcontractors -- was conveniently not revealed.

Thus the actual American Government was left in the dark and gradually fell into a comfortable stupor, while the remaining Federal Subcontractors were reorganized as commercial and municipal corporations, created "state of state" franchises for themselves and grew more and more corrupt.

We began waking up in the 1960's - 1970's when a series of events began ringing alarm bells. United States District Courts apart from the district courts of the United States (Article 5) appeared, but no effort was made to distinguish between these foreign Territorial and Legislative courts serving the Federal citizenries, and Article 3 Federal Courts and the actual State and County Courts owed to Americans.

The Office of the Secretary of War was renamed the Secretary of Defense. The Vietnam "War" was admitted to be a "Conflict" --- not a war. Richard Nixon converted healthcare into a for-profit enterprise to please his cronies at Kaiser-Permanente. Both the Internal Revenue Service and the Municipal IRS began prosecuting Americans for not "voluntarily" filing Federal Income Tax returns -- despite the fact that these Americans had no Federal Income and no legal duty to report.

By 1980, Jimmy Carter had the brass cajones to take over and federalize public education in America, leaving no doubt that as far as he was concerned, the "public" to be served was the British Territorial U.S. Citizen version, and not the American Public.

Carter scrubbed all mention of American History from the libraries and "public" schools, leaving only United States History to be studied by the next three generations of school children. Local School Boards were reorganized as "School Districts", even though no Federal Constitution allows this and even though, like public health, no mention of education exists in any Federal Constitution.

There seemed to be a concerted, organized effort to confuse Americans with their Federal Employees --- but to what end? By 1998, as we approached yet another Municipal Corporation bankruptcy (2000-2001) we raised our hand and objected to this continuing malfeasance and misrepresentation and served notice on the United States Secretary of State and the Commissioner of Internal Revenue and numerous other officials, challenging their authority and jurisdiction, dereliction of duty, and non-performance.

Coming out of the 2000 bankruptcy in which the City of Washington, DC, was emptied for 120 days, more alarming rumors began circulating, to the effect that foreign banks, most notably, the World Bank, Global Federal Reserve, and International Monetary Fund were making claims on abandonment, seeking to act as creditors of the foreign Federal Corporations and trying to attach American land and physical assets as "abandoned collateral" belonging to "unknown persons".

That would be us, or to be exact, the purportedly "absent" American Government -- which was only an American Federal Subcontractor instead -- that disappeared in the wake of the Civil War.

Unfortunately for them, we are still here, and still guarding our own Autochthonous people and our own country.

Their initial scheme, to use False Claims on Abandonment to steal everything from everyone, has failed.

Their further scheme, to misrepresent themselves and substitute a British Territorial Federal Republic for our long-lost American Federal Republic, has also failed.

Most recently, they have hauled another fraud scheme out of the rag-bag of history, and they are attempting to pull the same public trust bait-and-switch fraud that was used by Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War.

What remains is for these fraudsters to Cease and Desist and admit that they have no standing in these matters of American health, education, finances, and asset management, no authority, and no contract allowing them to interpose themselves as our custodians or representatives.

Mr. Lincoln, his Executive Orders, his Lieber Code --- all of it, was exercised in fraud and with malice aforethought, all resulting in criminal malfeasance, unlawful conversion of American assets, and a century and a half of unlawful and illegal mercenary warfare carried out under color of law.

We, the American People, and that means specifically, the American State Citizens and American State Nationals, are the Public to be served by the Federal Subcontractors; our erstwhile employees are not empowered to serve themselves at our expense.

Our Autochthonous American State Citizens are the Principals enabled to enforce the Federal Constitution Contracts, and we are enforcing them in all jurisdictions, with prejudice, against the other Principals and Treaty Partners, their employees, subcontractors, and agents, not limited to the Holy See, the Holy Roman Empire, the Inner City of London, the Belgian Government, the British Government of Westminster, the British Monarchy, His Imperial Majesty King Charles III, Pope Francis, the Patriarch of the West, and all their various corporations, including their incorporated banks.

Marijuana Legality: The Quick(er) Version

A few days ago, I started writing a very long, very detailed post about marijuana legality state by state... and it got eaten by tumblr's drafts features.

This post is going to be the Cliff Notes version of that post.

First off, Wikipedia's Legality of cannabis by U.S. jurisdiction page is an excellent resource for this. It doesn't capture everything, but it captures a lot, and you can always go to linked pages for individual states and/or check the linked sources for more information.

The short(ish) version:

Under federal law, specifically the Controlled Substances Act, marijuana is a Schedule I drug and cannot be prescribed or possessed legally aside from a very tightly-controlled quota for scientific research purposes. This scheduling includes language stating that marijuana "has no currently accepted medical use" and "[t]here is a lack of accepted safety for use of the drug or other substance under medical supervision", which is... arguable.

There is a process for changing drugs, including marijuana, to a less restrictive schedule under the Controlled Substances Act or removing them as a controlled substance altogether. But that process hasn't happened for marijuana so far.

Technically, this supersedes state and local law on the subject; state law can be more restrictive than federal law, but not less restrictive, or else the whole idea of federal law governing the whole country is moot. Theoretically, that means that federal police could arrest anyone, anywhere, for marijuana possession under the Controlled Substances Act, regardless of what local authorities say on the matter.

Realistically, that's highly unlikely. Any case where someone gets arrested for marijuana in a state that says it's okay is practically asking for a Supreme Court case on the matter, and said Supreme Court ruling would inevitable be controversial and divisive, and right now everybody's content to just... pretend the federal law doesn't exist when the state says otherwise. Probably some years down the line such a Supreme Court case will indeed happen and cause a shift to the current murky and unstable status quo, but it's highly unlikely that said Supreme Court case will star you, random marijuana user. (And if it does, well, upside is there's bound to be a bunch of folks willing to represent you for free just to get in on the action!)

Also, the federal police are busy, and hey, if they don't have to worry about marijuana use in a large chunk of the country, that just gives them more time to go after other kinds of federal criminals.

So, if state law's what matters, what do the states say?

Again, I point you to the Wikipedia page outlining exactly this. (It's most of what I'm using for a resource here myself.)

Recreational use of marijuana is legal in 24 states (Alaska, Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia, and Washington state), three U.S. territories (Guam, Northern Mariana Islands, and U.S. Virgin Islands), and Washington D.C. Note that Ohio's measure here is newly passed and doesn't actually take effect until December 7, 2023, three days from now.

Commercial distribution is legal everywhere that recreational use is legal except Virginia and Washington D.C.

Personal cultivation for recreational use is legal everywhere that recreational use is legal except Delaware, Illinois, New Jersey, and Washington state.

Recreational use is decriminalized in Hawaii, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and North Dakota.

Medicinal use of marijuana is legal in 38 states (the recreational use ones, plus Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Kentucky, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Dakota, Utah, and West Virginia), four U.S. territories (the recreational use ones plus Puerto Rico), and Washington D.C.

Medicinal use is decriminalized in Nebraska and North Carolina.

Iowa gets a special shout-out here for allowing medicinal marijuana, but not allowing any actual distributors of said medicinal marijuana in the state; medicinal marijuana patients need to go out-of-state to get their marijuana supplies, but those supplies remain legal upon bringing them back to Iowa.

Personal cultivation for medicinal use is legal everywhere that recreational cultivation is legal plus Illinois, Washington state, Hawaii, Oklahoma, and South Dakota.

Marijuana remains illegal for both medicinal and recreational use in ten states: Georgia (though several cities/counties in Georgia have decriminalized it), Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas, Wisconsin, and Wyoming, and also the territory of American Samoa. Everywhere but American Samoa has some exception for CBD oil, though, with limits on the percentage of THC present.

A number of Native American reservations have also legalized marijuana use, either recreational or medicinal.

Most of these laws have restrictions beyond just "it's legal". You might have to be 18 to purchase marijuana, or 19, or 21; there's generally a maximum amount you're allowed to possess, or grow, at one time; medicinal use might be restricted to specific symptoms or conditions outlined in the original law; details may vary about having it in a public place, or about the specific forms allowed.

Also, some laws specifically address potential effects of marijuana use within the state beyond simple criminality. Can marijuana use be considered in a child welfare case, and held against you as a parent? Can use of medicinal marijuana get you fired if you fail a drug test your employer gave you, or just because your employer doesn't like it? Does being fired for using marijuana count as being fired "for cause" for unemployment purposes? Can marijuana use disqualify you from accessing needed health care like organ transplants? Excellent questions! The answers will vary. Or they might not be specified in the original statute at all, which leaves it open for the courts to decide.

If you're going to purchase and/or consume marijuana, please, look up all the details of your local laws on the matter beforehand.

KE AUPUNI UPDATE - JANUARY 2024

UN Was Used to Capture Our Nation... By the end of World War II, the United States had completely fooled the entire world — including nearly every Hawaiian — into thinking that Hawaiʻi was a United States territory. But in 1946 the US was presented with a problem. At that time, about 75% of the world was under the colonial rule of nine European countries and the United States. The newly formed United Nations decided to emphasize decolonization of the world. The plan was for the colonial powers to assist the people in their territories to determine for themselves what form of governance they wished for their future — whether to remain a dependent territory, become integrated into the colonizer, or to become independent. Since then, about 80 of the original 100 or so territories on the UN list for decolonization chose independence, and became members of the United Nations. Today, there are only 17 territories remaining on that list. In 1946, the US placed “Hawaiʻi” on the UN decolonization list, along with Alaska, American Samoa, Guam, Panama Canal Zone, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands. It is now apparent that the US intended to use the UN decolonization process to legitimize their 1898 fake annexation of Hawaiʻi. Sure enough, in 1959, the US conducted a “statehood” referendum rigged to manufacture consent to absorb Hawaiʻi into the United States. The voters were not told this was actually a decolonization vote. They were not informed of other possible choices (like independence) and were kept in the dark about the international ramifications of the vote. The only option presented on the ballot was: ‘yes’ to statehood. After this and other irregularities, the United States submitted a report to the United Nations claiming the “people of Hawaiʻi” had consented to become a “state” of the United States, and as a result, the US had made Hawaiʻi the 50th state of the Union. In December, 1959 the UN General Assembly, without checking on details, adopted Resolution 1469, accepting the United States’ report, and deeming the political status of the Hawaiian Islands to be settled — Hawaii was a “state” of the United States and its people were citizens of the US. Thus, the UN became an unwitting accomplice to the fraud of Hawaiʻi statehood. Even though it is an error based on fraud, UNGA Resolution 1469 stands today as the official stance of the United Nations (and the entire international community) on the question of Hawaiʻi’s sovereignty. This stance blocks and frustrates all legal challenges to previous wrongful acts such as the overthrow, the annexation, and flagrant land-taking… The key to freeing Hawaiʻi is to expose UN General Assembly Resolution 1469 as a grave error that binds our nation in captivity to the US; and to persuade the UN to rescind the offending resolution. This will open wide the legal and political paths to a Free Hawaiʻi.

Rhys’s Pieces: Interview with ‘Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle’ Actor Rhys Darby

by: Jesse Rifkin • December 20 2017

Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, one of the most anticipated films of this holiday season, stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Kevin Hart, and Jack Black as players who accidentally get sucked into a dangerous videogame world of magic and attacking animals.

Rhys Darby portrays Nigel, a guide to the newcomers in the videogame world, who entrusts them with their mission: returning a sacred jewel called the Jaguar’s Eye to the distant statue where it belongs. Darby is best known to American audiences for comedic roles as Jim Carrey’s boss in Yes Man and inept band manager Murray Hewitt in the 2000s HBO show Flight of the Conchords.

Ahead of the film’s December 20 theatrical release, Darby spoke to Boxoffice about filming in Hawaii, the children’s book he started writing on the set, and how his training in the New Zealand Army helped prepare him for the role.

What was it like working with this cast?

Amazing. The Rock is so huge in every way. He has a connection to New Zealand. He actually went to a school in New Zealand when he was a kid. And he’s from Samoa. [Johnson is of Samoan heritage, though he was born and primarily raised in America.] So there was kind of a spiritual connection there. I felt like I already knew him. When we hung out a bit on set, he knew who I was from Conchords. He was very upbeat and fun to be around.

Was it disappointing working with The Rock, after you grew up in New Zealand which already has the world’s largest rock?

That’s in Australia. You’ve got to do your research!

I did my research. I am speaking to Hugh Jackman, right?

Absolutely! [Laughs.]

What was it like shooting in Hawaii? Had you ever been there before?

That’s right, Oahu. I had been a few times. I love Hawaii, it’s a very special place. So it was fantastic to be able to shoot there. I do this TV show called Wrecked [airing on TBS, about a group of people stranded on an island] and we film on a tropical island as well. We started in Puerto Rico, then we did season 2 in Fiji. So I feel like a lot of my acting work seems to be in tropical islands.

When you were a soldier in real life, where were you stationed? Were you ever on an island then?

I was on the island of New Zealand! [Laughs.] I was in the north island, then the south island. But I never left New Zealand with the army.

Did you use any of what you learned as a soldier when performing your role as Nigel? He’s a tough guy trekking in nature.

It’s really a mind fit, that kind of outdoorsman. I’ve certainly been that in the past. I enjoy adventure, it’s one of the things I do. I mean, I’ve climbed Mount Kilimanjaro in real life. I’ve wandered through Rwanda looking for mountain gorillas. So for me, those kind of experiences, wearing that kind of outfit and driving a Land Rover, is almost second nature. I used to drive Land Rovers in the New Zealand Army.

Did you see the original Jumanji when it was released in 1995? How much were you guys trying to go for an original Jumanji vibe, versus doing your own thing?

I think I probably saw it a few years later, on video. They liked to keep the spirit of the original, but definitely do a new thing. We couldn’t copy the original, that one was so good. This was rebooting the world, but modernizing it and turning it into a video game. That was the big difference, which I think is going to be great for the kids. I’d love to say that board games are coming back, and I think they might be. But I know most kids can relate to the video game concept more.

You co-host a podcast called The Cryptid Factor, about fictional or mythical animals. Were there any that you tried to get included in this film? Which mythical animal would you have most wanted to see included?

In the Jumanji world, there are pretty regular animals, except they’re a lot bigger than in real life. So they are gigantic and they seem to be a bit possessed. They’re quite dangerous. If I was to add any animal into this world, it would be something like the Mongolian death worm. [The animal, rumored but never confirmed, is an enormous worm supposedly residing in the Gobi Desert]. That would have fit in there. Obviously, it wouldn’t be Mongolian. Maybe the Jumanjian death worm.

What’s your best Jack Black story?

Nick Jonas [the superstar pop singer who plays a pilot named Jefferson “Seaplane” McDonough] contacted me and invited me out to dinner with Jack Black. We went out and had dinner one night. That’s the only context in which the three of us would ever be together!

I didn’t hang out with those guys [the stars of the cast] or anything like that. I was mostly just alone in my hotel. I only worked about seven days, but I was trapped in Hawaii for two months, because the scenes I was in were predominantly either in the Land Rover or some other backstory scene wandering through the jungle. They were waiting for it to rain to film my scenes, for some reason. It was all very weirdly determined. And it never rained! So I just sort of waited, going slowly insane. Then finally I got brought on to the set.

That must have been terrible, spending two months in paradise not working but still getting paid.

I spent that time writing a book! It hasn’t come out yet. It’s a children’s book. I’m still working on it. It’s an adventure book about a 12-year-old who goes on this crazy adventure to find his parents.

Your standup has generally been pretty alternative, Flight of the Conchords was rated TV-MA, [Darby’s previous film] What We Do in the Shadows was rated R. Now you’re doing a children’s book and a family movie. Is this a new direction you’re trying to go in your career?

I naturally go towards stuff that is more friendly, less violent. I think it’s just the jobs I’ve gotten. I also do Voltron [a Netflix original animated series in which Darby voices the royal advisor Coran]. That lets me do funny character work that all ages can enjoy. I’ll do whatever is funny. If we can keep that in the zone for younger people to laugh at as well, that actually means I have to be cleverer.

AT THE MOVIES

What is your favorite moviegoing memory or experience?

It would have to be going back to childhood, seeing Return of the Jedi in this amazing cinema in Auckland called The Civic. It’s gloriously decorated on the inside. It has gold lions on stage whose eyes light up. The whole ceiling is kind of like space, it’s all twinkling stars. You feel like you’re in another world. I got to see Return of Jedi there when I was young, on the big screen. I also saw Indiana Jones in that same theater. So those two.

And your favorite snack at the movie theater concession stand?

Oh, wow. For me, it’s a combination of ice cream and popcorn. So I get the popcorn and then I like to get a vanilla ice cream, or what they call a Choc Top in New Zealand. [The treat consists of soft serve ice cream dipped in a hard chocolate coating, served inside a waffle cone.] You can bite into it, then you just dip it into the popcorn. So you end up with popcorn sticking onto your ice cream and you can eat them both.

2020 - statehood referendum

Rebellions and revolts in Puerto Rico were already present during the Spanish colonization. The most important one was the Grito de Lares or Lares uprising as a result of an economic crisis. It led to the adoption of the first Puerto Rican flag.

After the 1898 Spanish-American War, Puerto Rico became a U.S. possession as an unincorporated organized territory. Soon after, the Foraker Act allowed some measure of civilian popular government. The 1917 Jones-Shafroth Act granted citizenship to Puerto Ricans born after 1898.

The 2012 referendum posed three alternatives: statehood, independence, or free association. Almost two-thirds voted for statehood, a decision that was confirmed by the 2020 referendum.

Puerto Ricans

There are around 9 million Puerto Ricans, of which only 3.2 million live in Puerto Rico. 6 million additional Puerto Ricans live in the diaspora.

They speak English and Spanish, the two official languages of Puerto Rico. The main religion is Catholicism, but there are Protestant groups as well.

Vocabulary

[Album+Video] Heavy Lungs veröffentlichen neues Album "Caviar" am 28. März!

Heavy Lungs veröffentlichen am 18. April ihr zweites Album "Caviar" auf FatCat Records. Die 2017 in Bristol gegründete Post-Punk/Noise-Rock-Band präsentiert damit den Nachfolger ihres 2023 erschienenen Debüts "All Gas No Brakes". Die Band besteht aus Danny Nedelko (Vocals / ja, der Danny Nedelko, den IDLES schon 2018 auf der gleichnamigen Single besangen), James Minchall (Bass), George Garratt (Drums) und Oliver Southgate (Gitarre). Die Verbindung zu IDLES besteht bereits seit einigen Jahren. So erschienen zwei EPs aus der Anfangszeit der Band über Balley Records, dem Label der Bristoler Kollegen, gefolgt von Support-Shows und einer gemeinsamen 7“. Der gewaltige Sound hat der Band mittlerweile auch Slots im Vorprogramm von Acts wie The Oh Sees, Portishead und Metz eingebracht.

Aufgenommen wurden die elf neuen Songs innerhalb weniger Tage in den Humm Studios in Bristol - umhüllt von Schwaden aus Zigarettenrauch und dem Schein des offenen Kühlschranks. Alle Songs wurden live aufgenommen, um die rohe Intensität ihrer berüchtigten, schweißtreibenden und kathartischen Auftritte einzufangen. Wie ein rasender Zug rollen die Tracks durch das dichte Soundgewitter aus messerscharfen Gitarren, verzerrten Bässen und dröhnenden Drums. Begleitet wird das von meist gebrüllten Texten, die mit einer Prise Humor unter anderem das Ausgebranntsein beklagen, aber auch das Streben nach Ruhm und Reichtum zum Thema machen. Passenderweise hat die Band den Longplayer nach Störrogen benannt, der für Status, Exzess und ein vermeintlich besseres Leben steht.

Ende Oktober erschien mit "Get Out" eine erste Single-Auskopplung, die die Flucht aus dem Alltagstrott behandelt. „In Puerto Rico, I’m drinking rum / Zero stress, zero alarms / Down at the beach, I’m getting a tan / Piña coladas on the sand”, singt Danny Nedelko voller Sehnsucht, während die wütenden und nach vorne peitschenden Instrumente eine Menge Sand aufwühlen und diesen in ebenjenen bereitgestellten Drink pusten.

Tracklist "Caviar": 01. Yes Chef 02. Cushion The Blow 03. Get Out 04. Caviar 05. Into The Fire 06. Ballerina 07. Self Portrait 08. Call It In 09. Put Thy Kettle On 10. Mr. Famous 11. Life’s A Buffet

My Grandfather (GRHS) was Puerto Rican American per US Territory status, which gave us dual USA/DR Citizenship as my dad and I were born in the DR and not PR but being a Territory in my mind is a privilege and a problem that’s best resolved by declaring yourself Fully Sovereign Country Independent Ally of the U.S. like the D.R.or the 51st state of the United (actually very Divided) States of America‼️ 🤷‍♂️ As an American, I’d lean towards statehood but if I were Boricua (Puerto Rican) I’d want to restore my nationalistic Independence with loyalty to the US, Not there red-headed stepchild with LIMITED Rights❗️🙋‍♂️

Identity Politics: Should Puerto Rico Embrace Edgar Berlanga? Part 1

Published: September 13, 2024

The views and opinions expressed on this website are solely those of the original authors and other contributors. They do not necessarily represent those of Frontproof Media, the Frontproofmedia.com staff, and/or any/all contributors to this site.

Since the 1930s, when Sixto Escobar first raised his hands as a bantamweight champion, the sweet science and the island of Puerto Rico have gone hand-in-hand. Escobar's victory sparked a chain reaction, leading to more than sixty world champions and 12 fighters inducted into the International Boxing Hall of Fame. The island has produced more world boxing champions per capita than any other country, with 15 or 16 champions per 1 million people.

CANELO ALVAREZ VS. EDGAR BERLANGA

The next potential titleholder carrying the island's flag will receive his opportunity to claim his status as a world champion is Edgar "The Chosen One" Berlanga (22-0, 17 KOs). The 27-year-old will take a massive step up in competition when he meets Saul "Canelo" Alvarez (61-2-2, 39 KOs) in the squared circle on September 14. Despite starting his career with 16 straight first-round knockouts and an undefeated record, Berlanga is a huge underdog against Alvarez. Upon its announcement, the fight itself was met with more eye-rolls and groans than genuine excitement. According to DraftKings, Alvarez is an -1800 favorite, and Berlanga is a +1000 underdog.

The event has been promoted as another chapter in the rivalry between Mexico and Puerto Rico. Fighters representing both countries have engaged in some of the best fights the sport has seen and some of the biggest from a box office perspective. In September 1999, 25 years ago, the most anticipated and significant money-drawing event involving fighters from Puerto Rico and Mexico occurred between Felix Trinidad and Oscar De La Hoya. The fight drew 1.4 million PPV buys and, at the time, was the most sold on PPV for a non-heavyweight match. Although plenty of battles between Mexico and Puerto Rico resulted in a better fight inside the ring, none captured the sports world quite like De La Hoya and Trinidad.

The fight's success led to promoters using the rivalry to promote future bouts. At times, in ways where it felt manufactured and not genuine. In the case of the power-punching Berlanga, who was born and raised in Brooklyn, New York, his representation of Puerto Rico has come off as disingenuous and has received mixed feedback from fans on and off the island. The differing reactions to his representation of Puerto Rico stem from a divide between Puerto Ricans who live on the island and those on the mainland of the United States.

The Great Migration

In the 1950s and 60s, a massive influx of Puerto Ricans left the island to travel to the United States, known as the Great Migration. The controversial Jones-Shafroth Act, also known as the Jones Act, established in 1917, granted U.S. citizenship to the people of Puerto Rico, thus allowing travel to the United States without a passport. Most of those who migrated to the United States established communities in cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, and, most prominently, New York. Another exodus from the island has taken place since the year 2000, with steadily increasing rates of Puerto Ricans leaving the island for job and family-related reasons.

There are more Puerto Ricans in the mainland United States than on the island, with over 5.9 million. Florida and New York have the largest concentrations of Puerto Ricans. The island has over two million fewer people, at 3.2 million.

Hailing from Brooklyn, New York, Berlanga is primarily recognized as being Nuyorican- a term to describe Puerto Ricans living in New York with their own culture and community. For many, Berlanga's New York background disqualifies him from being labeled an authentic Puerto Rican. Ironically, one of Berlanga's most well-known detractors is Oscar De La Hoya, who faced similar criticism in the 1990s from fans in Mexico. It could be a generational divide between the two; however, the six-division champion turned promoter has been critical of Berlanga's claim as a true Puerto Rican.

"Edgar Berlanga, who is fighting Canelo on September 14, now he claims he has a whole country behind him," De La Hoya stated on his social media. "Edgar, bro, you're from Brooklyn. I think I'm more Puerto Rican than you are. And I only lived there for six years. Puerto Rico doesn't claim you, bro."

ENTITLEMENT OR EMBRACEMENT?

A large percentage of Puerto Ricans on the island are Spanish-speaking only, and more are bilingual. Yet, the ability to speak Spanish has always endeared to fans on the island. Perhaps the island's most beloved star, Felix Trinidad, took pride in speaking little English, maintaining a sense of solidarity with those on the island. The language barrier could be part of why fighters like Danny Garcia weren't fully embraced when he fought Mauricio Herrera in 2014 in Puerto Rico. Garcia is based out of Philadelphia and speaks little to no Spanish. He has only fought on the island once.

It could also be that fans on the island can tell the difference between a promoter pushing an agenda to gain fans and a fighter who puts in a genuine effort to achieve a connection with a fanbase. One showing up waving a flag and a winning record isn't enough.

One of the island's three current world champions, Jonathan "Bomba" Gonzalez, the holder of the WBO championship at junior flyweight, will challenge for the WBO flyweight title in October in Japan. Gonzalez was born in the Bronx, resides and trains in Puerto Rico, and speaks both English and Spanish. Gonzalez has been and is fully supportive of Berlanga but does highlight the difference between those who live on the island and those who don't.

A post shared by Bomba Jonathan Gonzalez (@bombako)

"To be Puerto Rican, you have to live here," Gonzalez said in an interview with Frontproof Media. "But I can say he's (Berlanga) Puerto Rican. His parents are Puerto Rican. But, to be a Puerto Rican, you have to live here. You have to know what's happening on the island. How is it? What's happening? Who's your Governor? Who's your Mayor?

"He (Berlanga) could represent Puerto Rico. But say, 'Yo, I don't live in Puerto Rico, but I feel for it.' That's great. That's super beautiful. But I support Berlanga. Doesn't matter where he lives."

ISSUES OF LIVING ON THE ISLAND

Puerto Rico has been part of the United States as a colony, commonwealth, or territory since it won control from Spain in 1898. However, when Hurricane Maria ravaged the island in September 2017, it brought to light how little the island's status and trial and tribulations are to those in the United States. Even Puerto Ricans living in the United States might be unaware of the plethora of problems citizens on the island face every day.

Electrical and water outages are common on the island. The two companies in charge of the island's power, Luma Energy and Gerena PR, have constantly had issues maintaining consistent electricity and water for citizens, leading to outages becoming a regular occurrence. Recently, Tropical Storm Ernesto left more than 700,000 people without power.

The healthcare system on the island has been steadily declining. Citizens have had to deal with a lack of specialists and, at worst, have to wait months to gain an appointment. Over 8,600 doctors have left over the last ten years, and more are expected to leave in the future.

Since Hurricane Maria, the island has been put up for sale. Investors of all types, including cryptocurrency traders, have flocked to the island, acquiring residency and buying massive portions of land to gain tax breaks from a law known as Act 60. Most of these properties have been turned into short-term vacation rentals, turning neighborhoods into Airbnb enclaves. These changes in property ownership have displaced many residents, as the prices of homes have gone up so high they have become unaffordable, pushing many out of their hometowns. According to the New York Times, 43 percent of Puerto Ricans live under the federal poverty level, and the three million plus that have called the island their home all their lives do not qualify for the tax breaks the new investors are benefitting from.

PUERTO RICO'S FANBASE

The major issues on the island are not anything sports or Berlanga has control over, yet they highlight why the Brooklyn native isn't entitled to be embraced by those on the island. Berlanga is headed into a fight that isn't only a step up in competition but against boxing's biggest attraction. The Puerto Rican fanbase has always been among the most boisterous and supportive in boxing. For a niche sport like boxing, which seldom receives coverage from mainstream outlets on a consistent basis, having a built-in fanbase can be the difference in the opportunities offered to a fighter.

"There are three top sports in Puerto Rico," Jonathan Gonzalez explained to Frontproof Media. "You can't talk about nothing more than boxing, basketball and baseball. When you talk about a fan base, there are more fans of boxing. Everyone loves Puerto Rican fans because they love their fighters. Everyone wants to be a part of it.

"They want to be loved like Felix 'Tito' Trinidad. That's very hard. There's not going to be another Trinidad. You're not going to get another Trinidad. That will not exist in 20 to 30 years, in my opinion."

Looking at some of the best and most recognizable fighters from Puerto Rico, many are similar to Berlanga. Fighters like Carlos Ortiz lived in New York, and Wilfred Benitez was born in the Bronx. Many will point to Miguel Cotto being born in Providence, Rhode Island, to diminish the value of being born in Puerto Rico. However, what these fighters have in common is that all of them have had fights on the island. Miguel Cotto represented Puerto Rico throughout the amateurs and in the Olympics. The four-division champions' first world title victory against Kelson Pinto in September 2004 took place in Hato Rey, Puerto Rico. Benitez became the youngest boxing champion in history when he defeated Antonio Cervantes in Puerto Rico in 1976. Two of Ortiz's most significant wins over Ismael Laguna and Sugar Ramos occurred on the island.

While some view Berlanga's New York roots as an asterisk to his Puerto Rican heritage, others take a more straightforward approach.

"Well, nothing takes away the fact that his blood is Puerto Rican blood, said longtime veteran boxing journalist and founder of Latin Box Sports, Damon Gonzalez to Frontproof Media when asked about Berlanga. "No matter if he's born in Puerto Rico or the Bronx, New York, he is a Puerto Rican. That doesn't, regarding geography and how Puerto Rico may look at him. There are a lot of opinions in what the media and Puerto Rico say about him as an athlete and fighter.

"As a young fighter, as a Brooklyn kid, and a kid growing up in the sport of boxing, every fighter deserves the opportunity. I want to say that point blank, no matter who they are, where they come from, what their background is, race, creed, religion, whatever, no matter who it is, they deserve an opportunity at a shot."

WIN-WIN SITUATION?

How Berlanga performs against Alvarez will be vital to his future. Nobody expects Berlanga to pull off the victory, and many view the fight as a complete mismatch. Should he be competitive against Alvarez while displaying a level of grit and heart, it may endear him to fans in Puerto Rico on and off the island. Regardless of how people feel about his personality or his background, what happens inside the squared circle will always take precedence.

A win over Alvarez would be monumental and considered one of the biggest unexpected upsets in recent history. However, don't expect the government of Puerto Rico to give citizens the day off to celebrate with the Brooklyn fighter in the same manner as when Trinidad returned to the island after his fight with De La Hoya.

There will still be those who will focus on the difference between those who live on the island and those who seemingly wave the flag for clout. Berlanga has played the role of villain throughout the promotion but is noticeably aware of the opportunity before him that can potentially transition him from a boxer to a star.

"I'm a guy that people want to turn on the TV just to see me," Berlanga said on Prime Video's Gloves Off. "They are going to want to see Berlanga. Regardless of whatever they say. They can talk more shit. They're going to say whatever. They're going to pay to see me either win or lose. I don't care. As long as you're paying to watch me, it is what it is. I got to go out there, do my job, win in fashion, and look good. That's my main goal. I want the whole world to know who Berlanga is.

"I want to be that megastar. I'm from New York. I'm Puerto Rican. I'm handsome, and I can fight. I got everything on. I want to become a legend in the sport."

So, is Edgar Berlanga entitled to be embraced by Puerto Rico? The answer is no. But his New York roots shouldn't disqualify him from being given the chance to earn the love of fans from Puerto Rico. Win or lose, how he conducts himself during and after the fight will provide a glimpse into whether his love for Puerto Rico is genuine or an attempt to get fans.

"I've been boxing for 13 years since I was seven," Berlanga stated in 2017. "I'm from Brooklyn, but my parents are from here (Puerto Rico). I feel 100 percent Puerto Rican. My family, almost all of it, lives here on the island, and I want people in Puerto Rico to know that I'm working hard to become another important figure in boxing."

Boxing, like life, is brutal. Nobody is entitled to anything except respect for stepping inside the ring. Puerto Rico and its diaspora won't be easy for Berlanga to win over. But winning tends to simplify complex situations. It can turn shades of grey into black-and-white lines.

Would it in any way be appropriate for a British Territorial Government to occupy a foreign sovereign nation like Spain, to the threat and detriment of the actual Spanish Government?

We don't think so.

We think that the presence of British Territorial Mercenaries unlawfully occupying this country and numerous other countries is a systemic failure of international and global law.

So now we come to the curious "offer" which has been placed on our table by Mr. Trump and the "Alliance". They propose to, in their words, "re-inhabit" our American Federal Republic which we operated from 1787 to 1861, and simply substitute their British Territorial organization for our "missing" Federal Republic.

We will note that it is not possible for them to "re-inhabit" our Federal Republic, because they never inhabited it in the first place.

Our Federal Republic Government was staffed by Americans who underwent an arduous evaluation and process to become United States Citizens. This process and the particular Citizenship involved is described in the First Naturalization and Immigration Act.

Please note the Federal Republic was staffed entirely by Americans who chose to serve their country in foreign jurisdictions and exercise delegated powers on our behalf.

They were United States Citizens, not U.S. Citizens.

All U.S. Citizens are British Territorial Citizens, like the people of Puerto Rico, which is a British Commonwealth nation to this day.

They are British Subjects, not Americans.

So how would a bunch of "Tories" --- British Territorial U.S. Citizens, registered as such by Birth Certificates and labor contracts --- propose that they should act as Successors to the American Federal Constitution -- The Constitution for the united States of America -- and enter our Federal Republic and substitute themselves and their services for our own people?

Imagine a group of French Foreign Legionnaires offering to take over bureaucratic control of a substantial portion of your government under color of law. What would you tell them?

Strangely, this bizarre proposal is being fortified by ignorant Americans who still don't realize that they have been operating in a foreign political capacity as U.S. Citizens. They think they are the "real Americans" and the rest of us don't know what we are talking about.

But we do.

Here is an example of it:

These confused individuals are parroting a false narrative fed to them by foreign interests and don't even realize it. They don't know that each and every one of them is disqualified by having adopted a foreign citizenship status, that of a British Territorial U.S. Citizen, and acting as presumed British Subjects.

They don't realize -- yet -- that in their current condition, they lack standing to populate an Autochthonous American State of the Union, much less a Union State.

They can be somewhat forgiven for their clueless ignorance, because they were "registered" as U.S. Citizens while still babies in their cradles, so that the foreign citizenship contract was totally unconscionable to them and was never disclosed to their parents.

Later, while the victims of this Unlawful Conversion were in grade school, these manufactured U.S. Citizens were all declared legally dead, missing, lost at sea, whereabouts unknown, and the U.S. Trustees declared their intestate estates to be public trusts administered as "citizens of the United States" under the control of the Holy Roman Empire's Municipal United States Government, dba, United States, Inc.

Both these Great Villains, these Dishonorable Principals, and False Allies, have preyed upon the gullibility and induced ignorance of the American population in an attempt to make us forget who we are and how our government is intended to be structured and run, so that they can usurp upon us, their employers, and control our people and our resources via undisclosed substitutions and semantic deceits.

If this is confusing for Americans, we can only guess how confusing it has been for the rest of the world, which has also been ensnared in this Great Fraud.

As for the representations of Mr. Trump and the Alliance, and those unwitting Tories trying to front another substitute government for them, we can only counter-offer; they need a new Constitution to serve under, that's true, but they are not the Successors of our American Federal Republic and are not United States Citizens, either.

Without legal standing as a Successor to the Federal (1787) Constitution Contract, and without the proper Citizenship, they can't "get there from here". We are certainly not offering to just open the door and let them come in and play their Substitution Fraud Game again.

What they can do, is to do what we have done. They can declare, record, and publish their birthright political status as Americans, acknowledging their loyalty to our government and accepting their political status as freeborn American State Nationals.

Then we can talk about altering our Public Law to allow them to provide services under The Constitution for the united States of America (1787).

Just as the Municipal United States, Incorporated, has been dissolved, they can dissolve the United States of America, Incorporated, and The United States of America, Incorporated, and the USA, Incorporated, and the U.S.A., Incorporated, and all the many other deceitfully named corporations that they have created in their ongoing attempts to impersonate us.

They can surrender back all beneficial ownership interest in the phony British Seaman's Estates that they created out of thin air and used as a means to impersonate us and purloin our credit and latch onto our Good Names and physical assets.

If they want to work for us in "good faith" they need to return our stuff.

They can deposit our American assets back into our American Federation Treasury and into our Sovereign Treasury Accounts held in our chartered Global Family Banks.

They can return to us what is lawfully and legally ours. They can stop illegally and immorally occupying our country. They can turn over the helm to the actual civilian government of this country. They can be employed as honorable national military officers and enlisted --- not as undisclosed mercenary forces.

They can come home. They can be honest. There isn't anything about this story that we don't already know or which would overly surprise us.

All the cloak and dagger deceits and foreign "National Security" concerns need to go away and be replaced by simple truth.

We understand that Mr. Trump has been elected to an Office, that of "President of the United States" which has vaporized with the dissolution of the United States, Incorporated --- and can't rationally be replaced by any unincorporated version of anything calling itself "the United States", when the actual name of the country is "The United States" and has been since the 1850s.

We understand that he, Mr. Trump, as a British Territorial Officer, is between a rock and a hard place and trying to consolidate British Territorial interests by forcing a "merger" with CANADA, which as a Corporation Franchise of the UNITED STATES, is also dissolved and which costs this country over a hundred billion dollars per year and owes us a very substantial trade deficit.

We object on the grounds that all Beneficial Ownership Interest in all the dissolved assets and franchises of the UNITED STATES, INC. belong to the living people of this country, that means CANADA, AUSTRALIA, etc., because we have paid the debts and the operational expenses of all these Municipal Corporations.

The decisions about collecting or forgiving their debts is not for Mr. Trump to make.

It's not Mr. Trump's debt to collect. His authority extends to enforcing foreign trade policies, but setting foreign trade policy is the job of our American Federal Republic, or in its absence, the job of our Federation of States.

We have also paid all the debts and operational expenses of the British Territorial counterparts operating as Canada, Inc., and Australia, Inc., et alia, and they are also substantially bankrupt and in receivership to us.

Remember -- their National Debt is our National Credit. Remember that aside from "service", no actual government Subcontractor produces anything on the books. What they do as Black Ops is outside the context of their obligation to serve us under their specific Constitution and most such enterprises are illegal.

From a business standpoint, it makes sense for Donald Trump to call the cards and force CANADA to fold, which will give the appearance of making the underlying Territorial Company, "Canada, Inc." a direct franchise of the current version of "the United States of America, Inc." and give the impression that the two countries are now "united"--- when in truth, all that is being united are business administrations.

We are sick of these kinds of deceits being pulled off on the public and all these business moguls trampling over the rights and material interests of the actual nation-states and people.

We are sick of British Territorial Officers, either members of the U.S. Military or members of the Bar Associations, pretending to be our "President", when in truth, they are acting as Presidents of foreign corporations that are supposed to be providing us with "good faith service" under public service contracts known as Constitutions.

Our American President is elected by our qualified State Assemblies, not by a ludicrous glitzy strawpoll misrepresented as a public election.

A public statement of loyalty and proper political standing is really the only way to go forward, as any other option means building on sand.

If the Alliance is backing Trump, they need to evaluate the situation; Trump is a Dutch East India scion largely in the pocket of the Zionists; he may want to make America great again, but at what cost to America and the rest of the world?

The profiteering and war-mongering of the Zionists might seem attractive to some members of the military, but we all know that the actual purpose of an honorable military is peace.

No national military should be engaged in killing babies and children and helpless women and healthcare workers and journalists for economic gain, which is precisely what Benjamin Netanyahu has been doing in Gaza, Lebanon and Syria since last October.

Trump is still supporting Netanyahu and the Zionist regime he represents. After suffering the loss of 30,000 innocent civilians, Trump is still standing behind podiums telling the Palestinian people that they have to stand down or else.

What exactly is the "or else"?

They are already being genocided into oblivion. Israel has already dropped more bombs on Gaza than were dropped in the entirety of World War II. They are already running a strict apartheid state, where public hospitals don't serve the Palestinians who help to pay for them.

We think the Palestinians have already seen the "or else" and that Israel as it currently exists is a genocidal rogue nation that desperately needs a change of government and administration, not assistance and support for its crimes against the Palestinians, Lebanese, and now, Syrians.

Trump also set up and kicked off the phony Pandemic to fill the ailing coffers of "the United States of America, Inc." and bail it out of Chapter 7 bankruptcy. He was apparently willing to sacrifice the lives of millions of Americans and billions of other innocent civilians worldwide to save an unworthy, duplicitous commercial corporation.

That is a decision and a taint that will follow him to his grave, if the actual Donald John Trump isn't already dead.

The Alliance needs to rethink things. Seriously. Rethink the entire narrative the Alliance has been selling and the way it has been doing business. People aren't buying the narratives. It's not aligned with the Truth. It doesn't build peace and prosperity. It doesn't give the world a new start --- just a reshuffling of the same old dirty laundry.

Yes, we have heard all the NESARA/GESARA pitch and the Great Reset pitch and all the rest of the bandaids on offer. We were there when the actual Nesara restitution was proposed. We are sick of the kinds of deceits that are still being employed --- Economic Stabilization Fund, Economic Security Fund --- ESF or ESF, Nesara or NESARA?

People are not stupid just because they have been kept ignorant and deceived by criminals.

After we accepted our work from the hand of God, we were visited by an angel who kissed our forehead and simply said, "It's time."

It's time for all this deceit and ugly nonsense and pollution and criminal profiteering at the expense of the Earth and its people to end. Let those members of the Alliance who have seen the worst of it contemplate the situation set before them.

Satan and all his deceits are exposed and overthrown; the new Age has dawned. Soon the Central Sun will recalibrate. The timelines will split off, severing what is true from what is false. Which side of that divide will you be on?

Palo Mayombe Symbolism: Unveiling Hidden Meanings and Spiritual Insight

In the realm of spirituality and mysticism, the Palo Mayombe tradition stands as a fascinating and enigmatic practice that beckons curious minds to delve into its intricate symbolism. Rooted in African traditions and layered with rich history, Palo Mayombe's symbols and meanings offer seekers a gateway to profound spiritual insights. In this comprehensive exploration, we will unlock the hidden dimensions of Palo Mayombe's symbolism, shedding light on its deep-seated meanings that resonate with practitioners and enthusiasts alike.

The Essence of Palo Mayombe

Palo Mayombe, often referred to simply as "Palo," is a spiritual practice with its origins traced back to the Bantu-speaking people of Central Africa. It found its way to the shores of the Americas through the transatlantic slave trade, taking root in various regions such as Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and Puerto Rico. At its core, Palo Mayombe is a syncretic tradition, blending indigenous African beliefs with elements of Catholicism and indigenous practices.

Unveiling the Symbolism

1. Nganga: The Sacred Vessel

Central to Palo Mayombe is the Nganga, a potent and sacred vessel believed to house the spirits and energies that practitioners work with. Symbolizing the connection between the physical and spiritual realms, the Nganga stands as a tangible representation of the tradition's deep-rooted beliefs. It is meticulously crafted, incorporating various elements of nature, metals, and religious artifacts, each holding symbolic significance.

2. Palo Mayombe Spirits: Guardians and Guides

An integral aspect of Palo Mayombe revolves around working with spirits, both ancestral and deified entities. The symbolic representations of these spirits often come in the form of carved wooden statues or vessels, known as "Nkisi." These Nkisi embody the spirits' attributes and act as mediators between the human world and the spirit realm. The symbolism within Nkisi carving is intricate, with each detail representing a specific aspect of the spirit's power.

3. Sacred Crossroads: Points of Power

Palo Mayombe emphasizes the significance of crossroads as potent points of power where the physical world intersects with the spiritual. Symbolizing choices, opportunities, and transitions, crossroads hold a dual nature—both as places of vulnerability and places of immense potential. Practitioners often leave offerings at crossroads to seek blessings, protection, and guidance from the spirits that dwell there.

Spiritual Insights and Growth

Palo Mayombe's symbolism goes beyond mere aesthetics; it offers profound spiritual insights that inspire personal growth and transformation.

1. Ancestral Reverence and Connection

At the heart of Palo Mayombe's symbolism is a deep reverence for ancestors. The practice recognizes the vital role ancestors play in guiding and protecting the living. The symbolism behind offerings and rituals dedicated to ancestors serves as a reminder of the intergenerational bond that transcends the physical realm, fostering a sense of continuity and connection.

2. Embracing Dualities

The symbolism within Palo Mayombe often centers around duality—the coexistence of light and shadow, life and death. This embrace of dualities encourages practitioners to acknowledge and navigate life's complexities. By engaging with both positive and negative aspects, individuals can find balance, ultimately leading to personal growth and self-discovery.

3. Transformation and Empowerment

The transformative symbolism within Palo Mayombe's rituals and practices speaks to the inherent potential for personal evolution. The tradition encourages practitioners to harness their inner power, embrace change, and cultivate resilience. Through symbolic acts, such as crafting ritual tools and offerings, individuals learn to channel their intentions, fostering a sense of empowerment and control over their spiritual journey.
