  Puerto Rico’s next election will be “supervised” by the FBI

October 27, 2016

The Nov. 8 elections in Puerto Rico – for governor, legislature, and 
dozens of mayors – will be now “supervised” by FBI agents. These agents 
will be stationed throughout the island, and they will carry firearms.

The armed FBI presence was announced on October 26 in San Juan, by the 
U.S. Attorney <http://www.periodicolaperla.com/33387-2/> of Puerto Rico.

According to the U.S. Attorney, the FBI agents 
<http://www.elnuevodia.com/noticias/locales/nota/fiscaliafederalsupervisaraeleccioneslocales-2255525/> 
will protect against “voter fraud, voter intimidation, the purchase and 
sale of votes, ballot alteration and other irregularities.”

*A HIDDEN FBI AGENDA *

But there is another agenda at work here.

Most of the “voter irregularities” (sale of votes, ballot alteration, 
voter fraud) will not be discernible to an armed FBI agent, standing at 
a polling site. They will not stand there with loaded guns, to “protect 
electoral integrity.”

Here is what the FBI agents will really accomplish:

  * They will discourage protests, demonstrations, or any form of civil
    disobedience.
  * They will reinforce the narrative that Puerto Rico cannot govern
    itself, manage its own finances, or even conduct a democratic election.
  * They will acclimate Puerto Ricans to an increased police presence
    throughout the island. This police presence will multiply in 2017
    when the U.S. Financial Control Board fires more government workers,
    cuts pensions, closes schools, and raises the water and electrical
    rates.
  * They will “legitimate” an anticipated PNP victory at the polls. This
    PNP victory will in turn help to “legitimate” the Financial Control
    Board, which is infiltrated by PNP personnel…as board members, board
    “consultants,” and board “spokespersons.”

None of this has anything to do with “voter irregularity.”

But it has everything to do with an ongoing and coordinated financial 
assault on Puerto Rico. This assault will become more naked and apparent 
after the Nov. 8 elections, and after the Financial Control Board 
announces its plans for the island.

At that point, the irregularities will really begin.
