' . . '· ·. 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/ . .

The FALN takes responsibility for the bombings of Yanki corporations in New York on April 2, 1975 These corporations are at· the heart of Yanki irnerialism. They are important decision makers in the planning of domestic and foreign policy and benefit from the exploitation and oppression of Puerto Rico and other third-world nations as well as the north american working-class · While the working-clas·s· throughout the capitalist world su£fers from recession and sinks deeper into poverty, the profits of these conglomerates ~ontinue to grow. These actions are the continuation of an offensive aimed at·· gaining the independence- of Puerto. Rico and the release of :rive political prisoners, Lolita Lsbron. Rafael Cancel Miranda, Andres Figueroa Cordero,. Irving Flores,. and Oscar Collazo~ We are especially concerned with the release right now of Figueroa Cordero who i~ dying of cancer His death in prison will result in grave consequences for the 1anki Capitalist class. The bombing of the Anglers Club, an exclusive millionaires club that boasts of members like the Rockefellers, was a retalitory attack against that sect~r of the North American ruling-class which is direc-tly responsible for the actions of the c. I.A. and for the wave of repression which is being murderously implemented in. Puerto Rico. Our attack on January 24,1975 was not in anyway directed against working•class people or innocent North Americans The targets of our attack were bankers. stock brokers. and i~portant corporate executives of-monopolies and multi-national corporations. These are not friends of the working people But the enemies of. · humanity everywhere. · •' The bomb: attack in Mayaguez, Puerto Rico was. the most vicious of the 160 acts of c.

Aga1n the tsnperialtsts have made clear their designs for our homeland: to culminate the colonizition of Puerto Rico by ab sor~1ng 1t into the yant1 federal state. They intend td do this with the support and blessing of 1nte~nationa1 cap1tal1~ as ~s clear.1y stated 1n 1977 by then president For-d at a Trilateral Commission ge!ting held on Pue~to Rican so1l stoien from us by the parasitic, connivingt thieves and murdere~. the Rockefellers. We the oppressed Puerto Rican nat1onai1ty forced to abandon our be· loved home1and to 11ve and survive in the wretched slums and ghettoes of the u.s. know what statehood really signifies for the Puerto Rican people. Statehood for Puerto Rico means genocide. It is a l1fe of ser vitude to the interests of a ~rof1t hungry, parasitic minority, the total destruct~on of our identity, language, values, nationality, culture and the plunder and rape of our land and natural resources for the benefit of the yank1 capitalists. This we must and w1l1 -resist. Puer-to Rico 1s not nor ever will be part of the U.S.A. Puerto R1co belongs to the Puerto Rican people. This we wtll defend and f1ght for until victory or death. --l..
