This series excerpts from a few books, including War Against All Puerto Ricans by Nelson Denis 2015 and The Battle for Paradise by Naomi Klein 2018, and lays a groundwork of historical reference and conflict. Puerto Ricans have clashed with the United States before, including an assassination attempt of President Truman and fired shots in the House of Representatives that wounded five lawmakers.
There are significant Puerto Rican communities in the United States, especially in NYC, Bay Area, and Hawaii. Puerto Ricans span all ethnicities, all colors.
Before the 2020 earthquakes and even before Hurricane Maria in 2017 that largely destroyed the island's electrical grid, Puerto was on the horizon for debt default, and the debt still exists even after earthquakes and Hurricane Maria, no forgiveness. And the Puerto Rican debt crisis is still a dominating issue.
