Some have argued instead that you should engage in a campaign of so-called “civil disobedience” against the genocidal Yankees. Excuse me: How can the Puerto Ricans possibly “disobey” the genocidal Yankees? The advocacy of “civil disobedience” instead of Civil Resistance is a pro-genocidal Yankee argument.<span class="Apple-converted-space"> </span><o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt 0.5in; line-height: 29.333335876464844px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">Invoking the name of “civil disobedience” instead of Civil Resistance implies that you the Puerto Ricans have somehow “disobeyed” the genocidal Yankees. How can you do that? Using the term “civil disobedience” instead of Civil Resistance means that you Puerto Ricans have already incriminated yourselves under genocidal Yankee Laws for allegedly “disobeying” the genocidal Yankees. Why should you do that? Referring to “civil disobedience” instead of Civil Resistance means that you Puerto Ricans should just turn yourselves into the genocidal Yankees as “disobedients” in order to be imprisoned in their genocidal Yankee jails. Why should you Puerto Ricans readily incarcerate yourselves for the sake of the genocidal Yankees? Claiming to be engaged in “civil disobedience” instead of Civil Resistance means that you Puerto Ricans should just walk like sheep into the genocidal Yankee jails. How convenient for the genocidal Yankees! Saying you engage in “civil disobedience” instead of Civil Resistance saves the genocidal Yankees from doing most of their genocidal dirty work against the Puerto Ricans by getting the Puerto Ricans to do their genocidal Yankees dirty work against yourselves. Whether they know it or not, those who advocate “civil disobedience” instead of Civil Resistance by the Puerto Ricans against the genocidal Yankees are doing the genocidal Yankees dirty work against the Puerto Ricans.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt 0.5in; line-height: 29.333335876464844px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">It is the genocidal Yankees who are the criminals under international law, the laws of war, and international human rights law. This book briefly outlines and succinctly explains the multitude of international crimes that the genocidal Yankees have inflicted upon Puerto Rico and the Puerto Ricans since 1898, including but not limited to genocide, apartheid, war crimes, crimes against humanity, and aggression. In reaction thereto, you Puerto Ricans have the perfect right under international law to resist these Yankee international crimes including and especially and now most recently by the Yankees genocidal PROMESA. This book explains why and how you can do that for yourselves by using the information, analyses, and arguments set forth here.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt 0.5in; line-height: 29.333335876464844px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">To be sure, this book explains how Puerto Ricans can resist Yankee international crimes by using the genocidal Yankee laws themselves against the genocidal Yankees and in genocidal Yankee courts. Most regretfully, you Puerto Ricans live under genocidal Yankee laws that have been genocidally imposed upon you by the genocidal Yankees. Therefore, you will be prosecuted under genocidal Yankee laws and in genocidal Yankee courts and/or in their genocidal Puerto Rican puppet courts that basically apply genocidal Yankee laws under their thin Puerto Rican veneer. Therefore you must turn these genocidal Yankee laws against the genocidal Yankees themselves and perform this international legal jui-jitsu in these genocidal Yankee colonial courts! This book explains how to do that by using international law, the laws of war, and international human rights law against the genocidal Yankees in accordance with genocidal Yankee laws and in genocidal Yankee courts.<o:p class=""></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in 0in 8pt 0.5in; line-height: 29.333335876464844px; font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; text-indent: 0.5in;"><span style="font-size: 12pt; line-height: 32px; font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif;" class="">Generally put, you Puerto Ricans have the basic right under international law to resist the international crimes being perpetrated upon you by the genocidal Yankees, including and especially this genocidal PROMESA. Therefore, even in accordance with genocidal Yankee laws, Puerto Ricans do not possess the “criminal intent” required by genocidal Yankee laws to commit genocidal Yankee crimes. Once again, it is the genocidal Yankees who are the criminals! You the Puerto Ricans are the victims of international crimes being inflicted upon you by the genocidal Yankees. You Puerto Ricans are protecting yourselves and your families and your People from these genocidal Yankee crimes when you engage in Civil Resistance against them as permitted by international law.

Those who advocate “civil disobedience” instead of Civil Resistance by the Puerto Ricans against the genocidal Yankees and their genocidal Puerto Rican surrogates have it all ass-backwards.
