FILIBERTO: THE CLANDESTINE INTERVIEW PT-2

THE INDEPENDENCE MOVEMENT
Many people spoke of and about the great Puerto Rican independence leader Comandante Filiberto and much was said about who he was and what he believed. The RICANSTRUCTION NETWERK has re-produced this series of videos to let people see and hear Filiberto speak for himself.

This television interview was conducted while Filiberto was living clandestinely. From the information that we have gathered the interview took place sometime around 1990, a few months after Filiberto went underground and was the most watched television program in the history of Puerto Rico. At the time of this interview Filiberto was #1 on the top ten list of the FBI's most wanted. His most wanted status remained until September 11, 2001. The interview was conducted with Daisy Sanchez, a courageous journalist who endured her own trials and tribulations when she refused to give up her sources to the FBI.

This interview is Part Two of a five-part interview you'll only be able to find here on the RICANSTRUCTION NETWERK. In this section Filiberto speaks about the independence movement in Puerto Rico.

Filiberto Ojeda Rios was founder and leader of the EPB -- Ejercito Popular Boricua (Popular Puerto Rican Army) more commonly know as Los Macheteros, an armed underground organization dedicated to the freedom of Puerto Rico and considered by the US government and it's law enforcement agencies to be a terrorist organization. On September 23, 1990 while awaiting trial for a 1983 Wells Fargo depot robbery Filiberto cut off his electronic shackle and went underground in Puerto Rico. September 23rd is a date significant importance in Puerto Rico. In 1868 there was a violent rebellion against Spanish colonial rule in a mountain town called Lares and though the attempt at liberation did not succeed it brought about an end to slavery in Puerto Rico. Filiberto taking his electronic shackle off on that particular day in 1990 was more than a coincidence.

On September 23rd, 2005 Filiberto was assassinated by the FBI after they attempted to arrest him by surrounding his house in Puerto Rico. He was shot and wounded but left to bleed to death for over 24 hours. His assassination on that particular day was an attempt to kill the spirit of the independence movement.

@lolobondable Y ESO!! que no estamos mencionando a los cientos de agentes clandestinos entrenados por la CIA, NSA y FBI para llevar acabo operaciones de sabotaje, tortura, asesinato y/ó secuestro y tampoco estamos contanto las cientos de vidas perdidas durante estas operaciones orquestradas por los Americanos.

@lolobondable Gracia, Yo toy viendo que hay muchos laeducado,; marxismo, y commonismo/ socillismo no son como la media, o como los libros norte americano presentan. Nama examinando a cuba, uno ve reseulvos de educacion, y salud superior al los paises capitalista, uno ve que en esos paises an hecho mucho danio a la gente commune, cietos como guatemala, el salvador, republica dominicana, panama, y muchos mas fuera de latino america, que han sufrido, por las imperelistas y FMI(IMF) corporaciones

@Laavanzaday Exelente, yo pienso lo mismo. Gracias a ese tipo de personas es por que en Borikén la gente piensa que la Independencia=Cmunismo-Leninis­mo-Marxismo-Terrorismo... ¡Yo quiero a mi PR LIBRE! Con progreso y democracia... Que pena que el pueblo esté tan mal educado y no conozca su historia...
