<p><span>On Friday June 24, with only one “No” vote, the
Legislative Assembly of Puerto Rico overwhelmingly
approved PC 2853: a bill which transfers beaches in
huge coastal areas – including Vieques, Culebra,
Condado, Isla Verde, Isabela, Lajas, Cabo Rojo,
Guánica and Rincón – into “private” ownership.</span></p>
<p><span>If this bill becomes law, all “private” beaches
in these areas will be closed to the Puerto Rican
public. But the DEEPEST significance of this bill, is
that the politicians of Puerto Rico are
knowingly…intentionally…doing the DIRTY WORK of the
Financial Control Board, before they even arrive on
the island.</span></p>
<p><span>The POLITICS of this bill are important to
understand. Please note the following:</span></p>
<p><span>#1</span></p>
<p><span>It was introduced in <strong><u>the very last
days</u></strong> of the legislative session. This
allowed little time for public review, debate or
amendment. Probably, many legislators did not even <u>read</u>
it.</span></p>

<p><span>#2</span></p>
<p><span>The near-unanimity was striking: <strong><u>both</u></strong>
parties approved it, with only <strong><u>one</u></strong>
of the 51 representatives (José Luis Báez Rivera)
voting against it. This is <strong><u>especially</u></strong>
shocking, since it involves the controversial selling
of public beaches…which should belong to <u>everyone</u>.</span></p>
<p><span>The sale of just <strong><u>one</u></strong>
beach to a Marriott Hotel in Carolina, has met with
years of fierce opposition.</span></p>

<p><span>Yet here, the politicians transferred <strong><u>dozens</u></strong>
of them in a great <strong><u>hurry</u></strong>…with
no floor debate and a <strong><u>near-unanimous vote</u></strong>.</span></p>
<p><span>#3</span></p>
<p><span>The author of the bill, who also introduced it,
was Angel Matos García…the PPD representative from
CAROLINA.</span></p>
<p><span>Carolina is where Tito Kayak<em>, Playas P’al
Pueblo</em> and hundreds of environmental activists
have demonstrated against the Marriott Hotel take-over
of their public beach…the <em>Balneario de Carolina</em>.…for
over a decade.</span></p>

<p><span>They’re even calling the mayor of Carolina a
“traitor,” and heckling him at all his speeches.</span></p>
<p><span>That is why Carolina, PR was <strong><u>specifically
excluded</u></strong> from the beach give-away
bill. By pre-arrangement, the PPD allowed Matos García
to become a “local hero” in his district…by making
sure that nine <strong><u>other</u></strong> beach
areas got hit, but not his home district of CAROLINA.</span></p>
<p><span>By doing this, the PPD also avoided a
confrontation with an entrenched and organized
opponent (the activists of Carolina) which could
discredit the entire PPD.</span></p>
<p><span>#4</span></p>
<p><span>The government buried the odor of their beach
scam, beneath many layers of sugar-coated frosting. </span></p>
<p><span>They trumpeted $470 million for “contributions to
the pension system,” $80 million for “non-profit and
cultural organizations,” $40 million for a cancer care
center, $25 million for a medical center, and a $30
million supplement to the teacher’s retirement system.
There was no mention of their “privatization” of
Puerto Rico’s beaches.</span></p>

<p><span><strong>DOING THE DIRTY WORK of the FINANCIAL
CONTROL BOARD</strong></span></p>
<p><span>Aside from all of the following:</span></p>
<ul>
<li><span>The sale of public beaches to US billionaires,
in nine major coastal areas</span></li>
<li><span>The legislative end-of-session cover-up</span></li>
<li><span>The collaboration of <u>both</u> the PPD and
PNP</span></li>
<li><span>The near-unanimous vote</span></li>
<li><span>The lack of public hearings or public input</span></li>
<li><span>The appearance of <em>bribery</em> behind the
scenes</span></li>
</ul>
<p><span>There is one thing even <strong><u>more</u></strong>
disturbing than all of these: and that is, the entire
government of Puerto Rico just did the Financial
Control Board’s dirty work.</span></p>
<p><span><strong><u>If the Financial Control Board</u></strong>
stormed into Puerto Rico and did this – grabbed Puerto
Rico’s beaches and handed them to US billionaires and
their hotel chains – there would be demonstrations all
over the island.</span></p>
<p><span><strong><u>The whole world</u></strong> would see
the naked colonialism of the US.</span></p>
<p><span>But in the midnight hour, very quietly, the <strong><u>government
of Puerto Rico</u></strong> just did it <strong><u>for</u></strong>
them.</span></p>
<p><span>Why would they do this?</span></p>
<p><span>What possible motive could they all have, for
betraying the entire island?</span></p>
<p><span><strong>A FEW POSSIBLE MOTIVES</strong></span></p>
<p><span>Here are some possible motives.</span></p>
<ol>
<li><span>A U.S. billionaire named John Paulson owns the
<strong>Condado Vanderbilt Hotel</strong>, the <strong>San
Juan Beach Hotel</strong>, the <strong>St. Regis
Bahia Beach Resort</strong>, <span><span><strong>La
Concha Rennaisance Hotel,</strong> a $500
million condominium complex on <strong>Dorado
Beach</strong>, and a $250 million luxury
condo development in <strong>Palmas del Mar</strong>.
He has spent close to $2 billion in Puerto Rico,
and h</span></span>e also owns 8.6% of <strong>Banco
Popular</strong>. </span></li>
<li><span><span>Another U.S. billionaire named Nicholas
Prouty built the largest marina in the Caribbean,
<strong>Marina Puerto del Rey</strong>, at a cost
of $450 million. He also spent another $108
million on <strong>Ciudadela</strong>, a luxury
condo and </span></span><span>shopping complex in
Santurce.</span></li>
<li><span>The 3,000 acre <strong>Roosevelt Roads</strong>
complex will soon announce a “Master Developer” who
will construct high-rise office buildings, a
shopping center, shops, restaurants, a cruise port
area, a marine terminal for speedboats, golf
courses, and “multiple entertainment areas.”</span></li>
<li><span>The Financial Control Board will soon
designate many more “construction” and “Public
Private Partnership” projects, all over the island.</span></li>
<li><span>Acts 20 and 22, passed by this same Puerto
Rico legislature, will bless all these real estate
deals with 20-year tax exemptions on all dividend,
interest, and capital gains income. On the island, a
popular business pamphlet reads: “<em>Sol, arena y
cero impuestos</em>…Sun, sand and zero taxes.”</span></li>
</ol>
<p><span><strong>PATRONAGE, NOT PRINCIPLES</strong></span></p>
<p><span>Both the PNP and PPD have large party machineries
(78 mayors & mayoralties!) They need <u>heavy</u>
patronage sources, in order to survive as political
parties.</span></p>
<p><span>Now that ELA has collapsed, they <em>desperately
</em>need to find, and tap into, a new income stream.</span></p>
<p><span>These billion-dollar empires growing all over the
island, will be the <em>new</em> source of contracts,
consultant agreements, and jobs for their family and
friends.</span></p>
<p><span>And so, the two parties got together, and did
what corrupt politicians will always do.</span></p>
<p><span>They will sell the beaches of your island.</span></p>
<p><span>They will yank the sun and sea…give them to John
Paulson…and make us all pay to see them , or feel them
on our faces.</span></p>
<p><span>They will do it by a huge majority vote…both PPD
and PNP…working together… showing their complete
loyalty to the billionaires… while the FBI tells the
rest of us to “remain calm” and “report any suspicious
activity.”</span></p>
<p><span>The only suspicious activity that <strong><u>I</u></strong>
can see, is the theft of Puerto Rico by its own
“political leaders.”</span></p>
<p><span>Always remember this: the PPD and PNP are like
Jaws…an eating machine…they run on patronage, not
principles.</span></p>
<p><span>Not even beaches…or the wind, sand and stars… are
sacred to them.</span></p>
