Macheteros Warn of FBI Onslaught

The Boricua Popular Army aka The Macheteros, is warning that the FBI is getting ready to launch a campaign against Puerto Ricans actively engaged in the struggled for Puerto Rico's independence and other activists.

"Our organization possesses information indicating that the FBI, with the collaboration of the colonial police, are planning an operation to arrest, kidnap, and in some cases provoke the death of independentista, socialist leaders and activists protecting the rights of the people, said the missive. "The FBI intends to strike at all the groupings and individuals capable of supporting the people in their struggle for decolonization, national liberation and social justice," added the document dated May 19, but postmarked May 23. "United we can remove the FBI from our country, as we achieved the removal of the U.S. Navy from Vieques. United we can save the Puerto Rican nation from the FBI assassins and their colonial collaborators," added the document.

The FBI had no comment. While some may say that the Macheteros are nothing but a terrorist organization, as the U.S. has labeled them, history has shown us that the FBI has been capable of such actions. Google cointelpro and you'll see what I mean.
