Puerto Rico and politics
As an immigrant who came to this country at age 5 with my parents who were seeking more economic opportunity than their homeland offered in the 1950s (while many U.S.-born citizens were moving to Puerto Rico for tax “shelters”), I look forward to continued positive debate on the subject of immigration reform at a national level. States should not be creating bandage solutions (dare I imply scare tactics to wind political attention?) to something that is truly beyond their jurisdiction.
I didn’t have much of a say (nor did my parents for that matter) on the U.S. congressional votes in 1900, 1917, 1922 and as late as 1997 in a Puerto Rican Supreme Court hearing, which defines me as a Puerto Rican national with U.S. citizenship. Confused? Politics is never simple.
Let’s get real and become a state where we are leading the nation in good legislation not following bad laws created in other states! Remember, you did give me the right to vote, and you can be sure I will exercise that right at every opportunity.

Enrique "Kike" Estrada is a cartoonist for a species that is endangered in Puerto Rico. It's the kind of cartoonist who seeks to make his drawings and comments humorous, yet poignant, about the events that occur in Puerto Rican society.
His work has been exhibited in Greece, Argentina, Serbia, Germany and the United States, plus Puerto Rico. He has published at least two comic books, but the best way to get your work is through its website www.planetakike.com .
He received me very kindly to talk about cartoons and the Internet at home, which has its graphic design studio and its own garden, where trying to get as much food as possible for your kitchen.
Kike started talking a little about how to choose the themes he develops in his drawings:
Kike Estrada
Kike Estrada (KE): Before I draw every day reacting to things that happened in Puerto Rico. [...] Well, since I do not draw that kind of thing. There is a moment where I thought that instead of doing it well I was doing was wrong because of the noise rather than part of the solutions. And then I left it as a bit of work. When I picked up now, then, drawing more than things that are very relevant in Puerto Rico, but I try not relevant to Puerto Ricans, that is, trying to work the issues rather than situations. [...] I know I would have a claim for specific draw of the day, but there is so much noise about these things, which add noise is unhealthy.
But Kike was not always in the habit of drawing cartoons. His artistic work was occupied mostly with his work as a graphic designer and for a time did not produce cartoons:
"Another increase in the water"
KE: Do you know when I came back to draw cartoons? I returned to drawing cartoons on the day you put the two planes on the Twin Towers. [...] I put the TV. When I saw that a second plane was giving a tower, I said, "You fucked up the world. The world changed today. " And that caused me anxiety so fucking hand, I started drawing. [...] I went crazy drawing. And from there I have not stopped.
For a cartoonist who has a sense of humor, irony and satire that is Kike, and ability to find and highlight the ridiculousness of some of the issues affecting Puerto Ricans, the Internet has proven to be the perfect medium to expose their job. In an area where it is the only editor found freedom to express views that in another time or otherwise would have been almost impossible to express:
"Share ..."
KE: As I am a graphic designer, there was a time where we begin to learn the Internet because the world had changed, and customers did before I had to press releases or things, because everyone now wanted to have a presence on the Internet. So we were learning about it. And I said, "Well, I'm going to do a page from my job." And it was really cool because it is not objectionable. I mean, I do what I want to do there, and I say what I mean here.
However, Kike does not see himself as someone who knows the picture of the cartoon. According to him, his contribution to the cartoons lies less in the quality of his drawings, but rather on what is trying to say:
"How many more?"
KE: I am a member of the Association of Cartoonists of [Puerto Rico]. There are some young brats who are virtuosos, hand [...] In my case, I'm not a virtuoso. I am solely as an artist sui generis . I do not draw well. I draw wrong. What happens is that I developed a way to draw bad I like how it looks.
About being a cartoonist for newspapers and how they have been gradually disappearing, said:
KE: I think that newspapers have been doing without the services of the cartoonists because cartoonists can hurt you more than a photo.
Kike sees the Internet as a resource that cartoonists should use more. For him, the Internet is of the best inventions that have been made. He marvels at the possibilities that this tool offers to users. Thanks to the Internet, you may continue the work of the cartoonist to the disappearance of space in traditional print newspapers. In addition, the Internet removes the filter through which all work has to happen in a traditional newspaper. But the benefits of the Internet are not limited to cartoonists:
"My ballot"
KE: The Internet has been good because it has given voice to him who had no voice. How the hell I had been able to show my drawings if there were no Internet? Would a graphic package that no one had seen there because there was no outlet, the Internet gives you the output. And that's why you have to teach everyone the Internet. We must teach them to program pages and design their own things and then say the nonsense that they like to say, or do the geniuses that they like to do, but that people have the option to hold the Internet as the most accessible we have.

Alarm! Alarm! The imminent danger to national treasures and treasuries, the coming linguistic catastrophe of Babylon: The GOOGLIZATION of languages (and GooglEnglisation of cultures?). How will we speak? And how will we think? And what would become of us?
Ah? And what would you think about this, Robby?

Educación Colonialista

Fufi Santori

April 6, 2012

Colonial education

I would like to speak well of Luis Muñoz Marín for their political projects and the thought made seeking the good of his countrymen even though some of his mistakes were extremely serious and fatally momentous for Puerto Rican nation.

Sometimes he betrayed his ego huge and enlarged by successive electoral victories and convincing evidence that he accepted as certain that he preached and was asserting the truth. The politicians of the time swore that his will and his words were constitutional. Arcilio Alvarado, the then Speaker of the House of Representatives, at a meeting of popular avant-garde that he expressed his opposition to the holding of the plebiscite of 1967, we read: "The problem is that Munoz is never wrong and it is very difficult to organize a group that successfully oppose their plans. "

This absence of criticism and led to extreme brake so irrational as to ensure that freedom of Puerto Rico, expressed full independence would mean economic ruin of our island nation -.

Thereafter, education, already showed traits colonialists who justified the invasion of 1898 as a blessing for our democratic and economic Pueblo, obviated the emphasize the importance of our nationality and culture to promote values ​​of Anglo-Saxon nation we had 'given' citizenship that, while second class, took care of us and fed us.

This psychological dependence affecting our self-esteem was enhanced in primary and secondary school which gave prominence to the Washingtons, Lincolns and the military and economic omnipotence of the United States.

Already committed to accept the stigma of inferiority in exchange for Pan, Earth, Light, Water and shoes, the Popular Party created the panacea of ​​Bootstrap that, after all, he drew his Puerto Rican national consciousness acribillándola to billetazos slogans and annexation of the threshed as Permanent Union.

The Puerto Rican child was brought up accepting and validating the muñocista colonialism that included a Constitution violated in the very womb of self-determination and a Preamble shameful that glorifies citizenship 'American' at the expense of the Puerto Rican nationality and the supreme value of freedom .

So, fellow all these people today, and some old ones too, were educated in a colonial system which was enacted and legislated lies, fraud and abuse imperialist hiding in clear violation of human rights that the United States crow in defending both Urbi et Orbi. The mere mention of a name in the United Nations full: Oscar Lopez Rivera, enough to embarrass the nation that claims to represent the highest concept of democracy.

Product of the colonial education system have been several generations of Puerto Ricans and if so, how to expect men and women of this country, now, go to the polls to vote for independence, that is nothing more than the sum of the concepts freedom and nationality? They have been attacked to humiliate and to abochornarnos to be citizens of our nation.

That's why separatists in Puerto Rico can not pandering to the colonialists and promoting and voting in annexation referendums where the vast majority of voters, colonized at last, despise the supreme values ​​of freedom and of Puerto Rican nationality .

And back to Muñoz Marín, no doubt that in the loneliness of old age, so often recalled having been abused in the views of Bill Fernós - Murray then consider the possibility of being wrong for leaving his people at the mercy of values ​​and people who degrade us.

That Muñoz "cornered by history" and was sad that Pancho drew Rodon.

What to do?

The mission of independence not vote in colonial elections but to preach, educate and create awareness in our youth of our nation renouncing citizenship colonialism 'American' that allows us to project ourselves as free men and distinctly Puerto Rican. Want Freedom and Sovereignty? Let's start by claiming our citizenship demanding recognition of the United Nations.

The Puerto Rican loves his island, treasure their language, know what you want and all you need is to let it be all that is and all you can be.

Santori Fufi
Joseph Santori Coll was born in Santurce and after studying at the Colegio San Jose de Rio Piedras... 


Mike Nova comments:

It is very easy to experience and excite nationalistic passions trying to channel social and political discontent into these muddy waters. It is more difficult to fully appreciate the political and social reality. "Puertoricenos" love for this beautiful island and their pride in their language and cultural heritage and traditions are fully understandable and even admirable. The value and veracity of Mr. Santori's laments however are quite questionable. Who and what can be truly "independent" in our highly interdependent and complex world? The so called "independence for Puerto Rico", besides being quite unrealistic, since the majority of Puertoricenos does not support it, would bring wide spread poverty, social and political instability and unrest, inevitable decline and even greater dependence in economic and political matters. Freedom from the "values ​​of Anglo-Saxon nation" (all true values are universal) and the mystical vestiges of "colonial education" and "psychological dependency" means first of all freedom from the narrow minded and trite nationalistic stereotypes on which Mr. Santori seems to be so (almost hopelessly) dependent.

Mike Nova comentarios:
Es muy fácil de experimentar y de excitar las pasiones nacionalistas que tratan de canalizar el descontento social y político en estas aguas turbias. Es más difícil de apreciar por completo la realidad política y social. "Puertoricenos" amor por esta hermosa isla y su orgullo en su lengua y el patrimonio cultural y las tradiciones son completamente comprensible y admirable aún. El valor y la veracidad de los lamentos el Sr. Santori de embargo son bastante cuestionables. ¿Quién y qué puede ser verdaderamente "independiente" en nuestro mundo altamente interdependiente y complejo? La llamada "independencia de Puerto Rico", además de ser muy poco realista, ya que la mayoría de los Puertoricenos no lo soporta, llevaría a la pobreza amplia difusión, social e inestabilidad política y disturbios, la inevitable decadencia y la dependencia aún mayor en los asuntos económicos y políticos. La libertad de los "valores de la nación anglosajona" (todos los verdaderos valores son universales) y los vestigios místicos de la "educación colonial" y "dependencia psicológica" significa, ante todo la libertad de los estrechos estereotipos nacionalistas de mentalidad y trillado en el que el Sr. Santori parece ser que (casi desesperadamente) dependiente.
