I want to post this because this story finaly provides proof of the murder of one of Puerto Rico' s greatest patriot by the the US army.Don Pedro Albizu Campos

WASHINGTON - In one of the longest-held secrets of the Cold War, the U.S. Army explored the potential for using radioactive poisons to assassinate "important individuals" such as military or civilian leaders, according to newly declassified documents obtained by The Associated Press.

[edit] Later years and death
While in prison, Albizu Campos' health deteriorated. In 1956, he suffered a stroke in prison and was transferred to San Juan's Presbyterian Hospital under police guard. He alleged that he was the subject of human radiation experiments in prison. Officials suggested that Albizu was insane although others who attended him believe that burns on his skin where consistent with radiation exposure.

On November 1964, Albizu Campos was again pardoned by outgoing governor Luis Muñoz Marín. He died on April 21, 1965.

In 1994, under the administration of President Bill Clinton, the United States Department of Energy disclosed that human radiation experiments were conducted without consent on prisoners during the 1950s and 1970s. It is still unclear if Pedro Albizu Campos was among the subjects of such experimentation.

    I think after a certain amount of wealth is amassed (billions)...the vast majority of human beings on planet earth become increasingly reduced as people.
    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.

    well at least those states have "rights" and "representation". were still a fucking colony. Ill say that we have some fault but much of the blame goes to the federal goverment.

    this is nothing, I'm confident our government has done far worse
