As with every struggle for Justice, our dear Pete was with us in spirit to remind us all which land belongs to you and me ;)
On August 13th scores of people gathered to protest vulture Hedge fund investors buying up the Puerto Rican debt crisis which will result in austerity measures to pay the debt. The militant slogan is “PUERTO IS NOT FOR SALE”.
These are the slime that buy up defaulted debts for a few cents on the dollar and then turn around and try to collect the full debt from the people. This has become a common practice. PR is in the same economic condition as Greece but their situation largely comes from being colonials.
