' . '· ·. We,· the c~erilleros of the FALN, have undertaken these . bombings.· not only asainst the presence of the yanki corpora- tions in Puerto Rico, but as part of the international. workers revolution and all people fighting for national liberation. ~hese actions, along with bombing of major department stores, for three consecutive days in late spring, and the . ' dynamite blastsJat ~ewark Police Headquarters and City Hall, demonstrate what we have said since 1969a that the Puerto Rican people organizing and arming in- order to form a Peoples Revolutionary Army which will rid Puerto Rico of yanki colonial­ ism. We have opened .......two fronts, one in Puerto Rico the other in the ,.United States, both nourished by the Puerto Rican people and allies within Northamerica. We are not pure militarists. Therefore we do not oppose those parties oz:o people who believe in mass organization. However, to be truly revolutionary, a party must educate and . organize the masses for the seizure of power by way of an or-· ganized and disciplined vehicle, a Peoples Revolutionary Army. A party which fails to do this falls into reformism and becomes ari agent of the bourgeoisie for the continued exploitation and oppression of the people. ~he importance of a Peoples Revolutionary Army is that it arms the masses, and produces cadres to lead the masses to victory and \he development of a Marxist-Lennist Party, tried and tested under fire, which will educate and organize the people for the construction of a socialist society. finally, the FALN supports the demonstration, at Madison Square Garden, on Oct. 27, in support of the independence of Puerto Rico. We view this as a significant step in the for~ation • t/ .

  • Rafael Cancel-Miranda Praised on His 90Th Birthday
    Rafael Cancel-Miranda praised on his 90th birthday Mayagüez, July 19 (RHC)-- A group of independence fighters on Saturday exalted the figure of nationalist fighter Rafael Cancel-Miranda, on his 90th birthday, at the Vivaldi Cemetery in Mayagüez, where his remains have been laid to rest since March 8th. Puerto Rican Independence Party (PIP) leader Julio Muriente Perez lamented that due to his irredeemable death, on July 18th he could not be shared with thousands of his fellow countrymen in his native Mayaguez, in western Puerto Rico, "where his immortal remains now rest." The former president of the Movimiento Independentista Nacional Hostosiano (MINH) said that perhaps the meeting would have been at the grave of the combative nationalist leader Pedro Albizu Campos, in the cemetery of Old San Juan, where Cancel-Miranda first went after stepping on Puerto Rican soil after his release from prison in September 1979, after spending 25 years in U.S. prisons. Muriente Pérez said that on this occasion "we would have liked to sing to him, recite his poems, remember his anecdotes, laugh at his great sense of humor, re-charge his batteries with his immeasurable desire to live and serve his people and humanity, evoke his admirable perseverance and firmness of principle." Likewise, he said, we would have remembered, with similar respect to his colleagues Oscar Collazo, Lolita Lebron, Irving Flores and Andres Figueroa Cordero, that "like Rafaelito they are our National Heroes." Born on July 18, 1930 in Mayagüez, he dedicated his life to the independence of Puerto Rico under the inspiration of Pedro Albizu Campos, whom as a Cadet of the Republic, a youth organization of the Nationalist Party, he welcomed in December 1947 upon his return from serving a 10-year sentence in Atlanta and New York charged with conspiracy to overthrow the United States government.

(Óleo de Betzaida González) PEDRO ALBIZU CAMPOS PIEDRA DE PUERTO RICO FRANCISCO MATOS PAOLI Recopilación y ordenación de ISABEL FREIRE DE MATOS FRENTE DE AFIRMACIÓN HISPANISTA, A. C. MÉXICO, 2001 INTRODUCCIÓN EL SER O NO SER DE PUERTO RICO* ¿Quién no recuerda a Shakespeare?, quien por boca de Hamlet (III, 7), dijo: Ser o no ser. De eso se trata, en suma. ¿Qué es lo más noble: soportar callando dardos y flechas de áspera fortuna, o tomar armas contra un mar de males y darles fin luchando? Y aquí nos transporta el poeta a los campos metafisicos de la ontología : que informa del ser en sí. Platón en El sofista, trata extensamente la existencia del no-ser, contradiciendo a Parménides: Forastero: Aquel que declare que existe la falsedad tiene la audacia de proponer el ser del no-ser; puesto que esto se supone en la posibili- dad de la falsedad. Ante lo cual exclama Teetetes: ¡En que rara complicación de ser o no ser nos hemos envuelto! Prosigue Platón a explicar la esencia del ser: Forastero: Mi noción sería que cualquier cosa que posea poder para afectar a otra o de ser afectada por otra -aunque sea por un instante- VII por muy leve que sea la causa o por insignificante que sea el efecto, tiene existencia real, por lo que sostengo que la definición de ser es sencilla- mente poder.

Loida Figueroa Mercado, 1917-1996 Fechas: 1949-1996 Nivel de Descripción: Colección Nombre del Productor: Dra. Loida Figueroa Mercado Datos Biográficos La Dra. Loida Figueroa Mercado nació en Yauco el 6 de octubre de 1917 en el llamado Callejón de la Amargura. Eran sus padres, Agustín Figueroa, trabajador en las fincas de café y Doña Emeteria Mercado, empleada doméstica. Sus hermanas fueron Priscila, Raquel y Elsie, una hermana de crianza llamada Sonia Vélez y Juan Arroyo Mercado, hermano por parte de madre. Doña Loida, hizo sus estudios primarios en la Escuela Elemental de Yauco. Se graduó de octavo grado en el 1931. A los trece años, su padre enfermó y Doña Loida abandonó la escuela y se fue a trabajar en la industria de la aguja. En el 1933, ingresó a la Escuela Superior con la meta de estudiar enfermería. De acuerdo a Rebecca Olivieri, “cuando su novio se graduó de cuarto año, se dirigió a la Clase Graduanda el rector de la Universidad de Puerto Rico y les habló del beneficio de estudiar una carrera universitaria. Este discurso fue determinante para cambiar su meta. Estudiaría bachillerato, luego la maestría y después el doctorado. Sus padres veían los altos vuelos a que se remontaba su hija, y aunque no la desalentaban, se preguntaban cómo la podrían ayudar a que realizara sus sueños”. En el 1936, se graduó de la Escuela Superior de Yauco.
