- As a possession of the United States, Puerto Rico is under the absolute powers of Congress. I tell you about times in history, past and present, when that has become evident.

Hi friends. I took some time off TH-cam to work on other projects but I'm back and have so many videos planned for you all. Subscribe to follow along. Thank you!
Great video
Can you please make a video explaingthe election Puerto Rico just had about becoming a state .
Thanks
Hello Bianca . Thank you so much . A lot of info that i didnt know .
Bianca please keep hammering on the inequities of the Jones Act that has and continues to strangle the PR economy. Thanks for these excellent videos.
This was a great video. I've wanted to get more informed on the US-PR relationship/history. Subscribed. Thank you
@@felixbaby1234 // it was not an election, it was a Statehood Yes/No referendum. It must also be said that the US had Stated that the referendum was unilateral created by the Pro Statehood Government in Power and that it had no validity. The US has continually Stated that the issue of referendum must be inclusive to all alternatives of decolonization. I hope That your doubts are clarified.
Wow this has to be the most informed video I have seen about Vieques and the US Navy....Thanks
So glad you found it valuable. Thank you!
🗿La isla en verdad pertenece al TAINO nativo indígena, y todos los demás son invasores o refugiados. 😟
-¡Garayua! ¡Tú ofendes mi nacionalismo!
NO... Sólo te lo reafirmo;
La isla NO pertenece al Español, Africano, Inglés, ni a ninguno de los que la invadieron, compraron tierras o llegaron secuestrados o en botes pequeños desde Haití y La República Dominicana...
Pero, si ya todos se sienten Puertorriqueños, y AMAN A ESTA ISLA, tampoco deben ODIAR a Nuestros Hermanos Norteamericanos.
🎶¡PLENA Y BOMBA! 💥
Entonces, el que sea TAINO arroje la primera piedra, pero nadie se mueva, para eso, necesitamos saber qué opinan los líderes TAINOS, como nuestro Amado Padre y Cacique Agüeybaná;
Traduzcamos su Biblioteca de Piedras, y tendremos mejor juicio...
Entonces, tratar de conocer nuestra Cultura TAINA, Idioma y Religión, debe ser una Bendición de DIOS, para uno Sentirse un Verdadero Jíbaro Borincano.
Digo, digo, un Indio Nativo *TAINO, que en Hebreo significa *GENTE BUENA... 👋😇🇵🇷

🇪🇸The Maritime letters of Christopher Columbus, written in Castellano language, are exact proof of his landing at Güánica's Bay;
Other items, like an engraved wood block offers an exact picture of that unique Bay.
The Natives of the island were extremely friendly, and the TAINO's village, in Güanica, were well described in other letters.
The advantages that Columbus found in Güánica, are the same that U.S.A Navy found there.
A perfect Bay, with Fresh water, food, and high mountains at the entrance, protecting the ships from strong winds and perfect for hiding them from the open Sea view.
This Bay was an ancient Route of Phoenician Merchants, from the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, ISRAEL, and because Christopher Columbus was having a Jewish background, he knew this very well...
Lets dig into The Güayanilla's Museum, to learn more about our TAÍNO heritage, and our Last Beloved Chief Agüeybaná, a stone library written in paleo Hebrew fonts.

Obama didn’t do smack for Puerto Rico nor the African American community ... American government says pretty things here and there but does nothing. 😤
That pos Obama visited Cuba and the only thing he did was give more authority to Castro family and take away the Pie Seco law that gave Cubans the ability to seek asylum .
agreed
agree and Trump didn’t lost btw
Obama Trump Bush Clinton Etc they all don’t give a real shit about Puerto Rico or it’s people. Obama was Just a Black Face of corrupt corporate masters who put profit above all else

Thank you Bianca. Hope to see more content from you.

Much love to Puerto Rico from a Colombian 🤙🏼
Nicely done. You should consider doing one from Congress point of view as to why they don't just make it a state, or grant independence. Keep up your good, no, GREAT work!
Thank you, Richard! And that’s a good point. I’m really interested to see what happens now with a new Congress. I’ll be working on more videos.
I wouldn't mind seeing a video on that. However I would like to note that after growing up Puerto Rican and constantly hearing about the torture my family members endured at the hands of the U.S., I wouldn't necessarily jump to making us a state... I've never actually met any Puerto Rican that wanted P.R. to be a state other than for financial reasons like receiving money to deal with hurricane Maria and the ability to declare bankruptcy.
You should also include a video on those that actually want to reunite with Spain which I think is not really supported by the majority of people in PR. There is even a site on YB - th-cam.com/users/AdelanteReunificacionistasPuertoRicoyEspañavideos
@@ab9840
Meh they are not a threat anymore than those that want to "reunite" the island with Germany (yes they exist too) at this point I would not be surprised if there's a group that wants to "reunite" with Norway and become Viking again.
@@edwardfielding8632
especially now when state rights have become non-existent anyway and the Federal gubmint is well on its way to become a full fledged tyrannical dictatorial regime.
Your content is consistently top notch! I learn so much from it. I wish we learned about the history of Puerto Rico in schools. It's barely even mentioned in US history.
My heart hearts for that man selling lottery tickets and having to worry that his pension will decrease further. I truly hope things change for the better. Your video is well done.
Thanks for speaking out loud and very consciously, you are the voice that a lot of people want to shut down , the culture of indoctrination runs rampant in our history , it’s good to have some one to keep it straight and real , God bless you always. Here there and everywhere.🙏🏼🙏🏼💪🏼💪🏼🇵🇷🇵🇷

Thank you Bianca, it always hurts so much to hear these things. But in a way it makes me happy to see that someone is covering these stories. I really enjoy your content and I am following on every platform I can. Saludos desde Arecibo!

Thank you so much for making this video! I was born in Vieques and I remember how my sister and I would wait for the Navy trucks full of trash, guns, bullets and food, by then Vieques had an open land were they would take all the trash no security just open to the public and we would pick up everything we could and eat the food and sale the rest of the stuff we found. So many memories. I now thank God we never got hurt. Thanks so much for making this video!
Great article like always💓
Bianca, you are doing some amazing work , this is inspirational!
Thank you Bianca, you have inspired me to do more for the island where I was born. Don't stop!
It's all very interesting. I am a boricua because my parents were born there. I love Puerto Rico because I was raised to going there frequently as a child and I lived part of my adulthood there. Keep on doing the good work that you are doing. Blessings from Colorado
You’re a fellow Boricua, indeed. Thank you for your support ♥️
I will watch Bianca Graulau talk about anything! Keep these videos coming!
Awesome video!, I really enjoy your videos, my parents were born in Puerto Rico and I in Hartford Conn, and I've always had a desire to learn more about the real history of Puerto Rico, hence, I somehow found your TH-cam channel, Thank you for sharing this information with us, God Bless, and keep up the Amazing work you do👏🏼🇵🇷💪🏽🇵🇷🙏🏼

Really glad to have found your channel. Good stuff coming from it, keep it up!
Thank you for sharing this Bianca. All that most North Americans know about PR is what they got from West Side Story. So sad.
Very well done. Cant wait to see the upcoming videos
I just found your channel. Thank you so much for all your reporting on Puerto Rico!
Really like the historical context that serves as a foundation to these pieces. Great job!
Puerto Rico wasn't a Spanish colony in 1898. Puerto Rico had representation in the Congress of Spain, with the third most representatives out of all provinces and had just become the first autonomous community of Spain with the "Carta Autonómica". How do you call that a colony ? Puerto Rico was as spaniard as Andalusia or the Canary Islands.
Well, short of definition, it appears to be one now.
I enjoy your videos, very good info; I learn something new today about PR. Subscribed!
First time see your video keep doing is interesting thank you.
I will! Thank you.
Blanca te felicito. Excellent work. Love that you show documents backing the information you are presenting. Outstanding work. I grew up in Humacao and remember seeing the flares over the island of Vieques, during Naval exercises.
The theory behind the reason the US invaded PR in 1898 is something call the Monroe doctrine (after President James Monroe) though it really was an opportunity added by the person that broker the agreement between Spain and the US.
Yes, I try to show my sources in the video without making it boring! Thank you for watching.
I"m an ESL teacher and I love using your videos for my classes. Thanks for doing what you do!
Fantastic channel. I woulds love to see a video on El Masacre De Ponce so the world can know more about the invasion and colonization of the Island of Puerto Rico
Love your content thanks for telling the story that no one talks about
Very informative! Greatly appreciate a factual perspective on the history of PR without bias. Really enjoy your work.

Thank you for watching! DM me on Instagram so we can connect.
Im from West New York NJ..i could help...
Felicidades, excelente documental. Le has dado voz y has revivido a gente valiente. Ve por más y sigue.
You’re an amazing reporter/journalist! Love watching your research teachings. 🤞🏽
Independence for BORINQUEN immediately, let us decide our own future. Being part of the United States hasn’t benefited the Island at all.We are TAINOS let us be who we are.
Muy orgulloso de ti y por tu tiempo Bianca. 🙏🏻👈🏻
Muchas gracias!
Missed your amazing informative content. Thanks for all your hard work ❤️
Love your content!!! Please keep it coming🤗
Greatly appreciate your video. Very informative and precise! Proud to have a person like you taking the time to tell the world about our colonial situation. Excelente trabajo! Te felicito!
Another great video Bianca. Keep it up!!
Thank you! I will
Thanks Bianca! Very informative. I love your content across all social media channels. Keep up the excellent work.
Great work! Saludos from DR! 🇩🇴
Very informative video. Thank you...learned a lot from it. The reality is Puerto Rico has always been treated as a "step child" whether it was occupied by Spain or The U.S. Statehood would benefit the island in many ways but it would be a serious "investment" for the U.S. My concern is the island would be gentrified and many of it's poor pushed out to make way for the wealthy coming from the mainland. Although the island would experience some very rough "beginnings"...I do believe Independence is what Puerto Rico should strive for if it wants control of it's destiny and respect. Although that is a decision that should be left strictly to the people of Puerto Rico who LIVE in Puerto Rico.
Puerto Rico has a very rich history that few Puerto Ricans know about unless they look it up on the Internet. The only thing most Puerto Ricans know is the discovery by Columbus, few know that Puerto Ricans helped the colonies in the US get their Independence the same Independence which they now denounce our right to have.
Haiti do the same in retourne was invaded 2 trimes,
They should be a state bc independence won’t do well as america took everything from them if they’re independent they’d be like el salvador or any nation that purely has agruculture to make it stay afloat and also corruption can easily happen as other Latin american nations are corrupt like venuzela those people are starving
Thank you so much for all you do!!
Excellent Video, Bianca.
So, I just subscribed.
Respect.
This is heartbreaking!!! My roots Vieques , I’m praying 🙏🏽 my God Yah for he is my good Shepard psalm 23
Blessings Bianca

Awesome video. I was born in the states and my grandparents took me PR a lot. Yet I don’t know as much as I would like to know from the place I came from. I hope you keep doing these videos.
Thank you for your eye opening videos on the situation in PR. It is time we told the story, the real story of PR!
Bianca, Hi from Virginia! You're doing great and informative work. Thank you. tb
Great story! Thanks for sharing and for your hard work!
Very informative and eye opening regarding the history of an island off of Puerto Rico I knew so little about. Puerto Rico has always held a place in my heart as me being Cuban y esta isla del encanto is the closest I have to a connection to Cuba; as it being similar in its history and geography through el Caribe. Thank you for the intellectual awareness, hope to see Cuba covered as well too if possible !
Cuba came up when I was reading through government docs! And yes, would love to cover it when travel is allowed again. It’s one of my favorite places. Thank you for watching!
Hi cuban brother you are welcome to come to our island
Cuba got independence from Spain Puerto Rico didn't they are not similar
@@familyandfriends3519 yes, Puerto Rico did get its independence from Spain, which lasted very little. US took over PR.
@@nildamendez2645 no they didn't they were ceded Cuba got independence from Spain in 1898 in the Spanish American war
Missed your videos so much!!! Hope all is well Boricua. Pa’Lante! I am for a semi state Puerto Rico. Juan Gonzales highlights this in his book Harvest of Empires. Lengthy but necessary to read. A 10-25 year plan of statehood transition to Soverign nation. While doing this the US gives reparations to PR’s and sets our island on a path of self sustainability.
From WMass! My family is from Ponce.
Thank you for that resource. Saving it to check it out. And thanks for being here!
@@johnrivera3482 my family is from Ponce too.
Un pasito pa'lante, y dos pa'tras? PR is already in a semi-state (aka territory) quagmire John. PR should be on a fast track outta dodge to sovereignty. You gotta rip the band-aid quick. It'll hurt, but I bet the pain won't last 122 yrs.
Thank you for this video ! Keep up the amazing work

Love this Bianca. Is there anyway to find this video with Spanish subtitles?

Great video. My grandmother was born in Guanica and you were standing near where my great-uncle Sammy lived in front of the bay.
Exitoooo, excellent production quality!!
Fantastic presentation! 22 Trillion dollar economy and we can't find the money necessary to make Puerto Rico whole again along with giving it the foundation it needs to be self majority sustaining. If you've ever been to PR and have a functioning heart, you understand--on many levels, how little Puertorricanos ask for--and how much they receive relative to what they are owed and deserve, from the US government. I hope to live long enough to see a change. Great work Bianca!! Felicidades!!
Thank you so much for your support!
This is a gem! So much information. Every PR should watch this. Another piece of the puzzle would be speaking of the Jones Act which is just another abusive act on the people of Puerto Rico. Fantastic work.
True
Thank you, for what you are doing 🇵🇷
These are informative videos and really open my eyes about Puerto Rico. I never really learned the history and you do a good job. there is a lot to think about when it comes to the status of Puerto Rico
An all democratic government allows the potential for constitutional amendments to be passed. All of the diaspora should recognized this opportunity and push for an end to American colonialism/imperialism. PR is one of many U.S. (stolen) property. Excellent work Bianca!
This is no a Republican or Democrat. It is a US issue. Because both party have had the majority many times and nothing happens.
you cant steal land no land is someone's unless you defend it theta nature
@@DoctorAkkeHe is talking about the system, democracy, not the party. The US has a problem that the entire world can see except the US itself. Its extremely corrupt and not even a democracy
Hi Bianca. Thanks for your informative video. It would be interesting to document also treatment of other US territories, for example, Guam and the US Virgin Islands, among other territories. Another possible subject for another video would be why the Puerto Rican culture has been so resilient after 120 years of US domination as compared to 500 years of Spanish influence and rule on the island. Desde Caguas, Puerto Rico, ¡éxito y gracias!
Great Job! Im loving the authenticity. I hope your stories continue to change you as you change us.
Very, very very well detailed de agony that the Puertorican pepople have suffered under United States of America power. Thank you for bringing this out to the world .
I think Puerto Rico should become independent their people, music and culture are worth being their own nation and they are very proud of being puerto rican. The only part that would be bad is losing the U.S. citizenship but at the cost of freedom is worth it
But than the nation would be poor bc America took everything from them so statehood would be preferable so they wouldn’t be targeted and would have the same rights as other states
yes i’ve been saying the same my father is from puerto rico and it’s sad how native puerto ricans are treated like second class citizens they have limited rights but the usa benefits so much from resources to men to fight wars. many puerto rican fought and died fighting wars for the usa but we are still second class citizens.
Not happening the majority of the people wants state hood that independent stuff is not going to work ..for what ? Living like Cuba ? I don’t think so
Are we going to see more content similar to this and content regarding the native/indigenous peoples or puertorico both on and off the island ?
What you're doing is so important.
Thank you
Hello Bianca, I want to thank you for your reporting and these videos. I just recently visited Puerto Rico for the first time in my life. 43 years old...My father was born on the island near Florida. I can't put into words what I was felling being there, it was overwhelming for me. I've been learning a lot of history of PR from your channel and from reading. Please keep up your fight for this beautiful island and our beautiful people. Thank you!
I think Puerto Rico need it independent.i would love to start a go fund me to help my people but am not going to give it to the government of Puerto Rico but independent person who going to do good with the money.
It has to start somewhere! Make it happen people like me will support it
INDEPENDENT FOR PUERTO RICO NOW!🇵🇷
Nooooo
@@geedeele8858 Why NOT?🤯
Thank you so very much for this video... please Don’t stop making these videos...Very educating videos especially for those Puerto Ricans that do not and have never lived in Puerto Rico and neverEducated themselves on this beautiful island
Tú me inspiras❤️thank you for doing this work. You are so needed
Love your channel. Hopefully Puerto Rico 🇵🇷 will get independence soon! Mi familia es de Bayamon!
“Hopefully Puerto Rico will get independence soon!” While living in the states! CARIPELAO !
Y tu en ves de criticar busca soluciones para p.r
@@JuanLopez-sp1vc Claro , la solución se llama ESTADIDAD. Por eso nuestro amigo “The Ando” no se muda a PR porque vive bien en la Estadidad.
@@luiyo2155 Bueno antes de que hagan esa decision piensen bien que nos conviene hay amplio tiempo para a revisar cada detalle de esa propisicion de ser Estado 51
Thank you for telling this truth. When people from the U.S. don't confront the country's imagined origins with the consequences of its violence, they invite moral decay. I encourage you to keep creating and telling more truth.
My parents Benito and Ramona were born in Ponce and tho I've always identified myself as Puerto Rican didn't know much about Puerto Rico's history until much later in my life. It broke my heart then💔, and does so every time I learn more. Thank you for sharing and teaching things we all should know. ❤
Thank you for going to our town guánica for this video, it means a lot to me that you're educating everyone on these topics.
CORRECTION. Is commonly said that PR was a colony of Spain in 1898. The island was an overseas province with autonomy and currency with gold to back it up deposited in the Bank of Sevilla. The reason for the invasion was to avoid the commercial competition PR would represent by absorbing most of the commerce that was going to cross the Panama Canal. Washington is robbing our sacred right to engage in commerce with the rest of the world. The Jones Act
The same as Mexico in 1848…
Ah overseas province is a colony sweetie.
@@Churros1616 Wrong. is same as a state but with it's own currency and gold. Also equal representation in Cadiz
Sorry to say in my opinion I say no to states hood I rather puerto rico keep fighting for independence for puerto rico freedom of liberty from united states.
Thank you so much for all the great information!!!!
I just saw your video in TikTok. You need to get to your 10,000 subscribers. I’m just subscribed. Continue your great work.
Wow as Puerto Rican myself well half I had no idea The country I was born into and loved treated my people so horrible . Love your work I'm a new fan so informative keep these videos coming , you really inspired me thank you
Bianca, Great video on the history of the US Military in Puerto Rico. Like I said before I was born in Santurce parada #17. I ask my mom regarding the history and she is under the understanding that Americans help us in the war against Spain. I think you need set record straight. Spain gave Puerto Rico to the USA after their invasion. There was no war with the USA helping us with Spain. I believe the Americans changed the history in the school books for their benefit. Thank you for hard work and keep bring light to the dark history of " la isla del elcanto" .
Gracias por lo que haces. No tienes idea de cuan agradecido estoy de que puedas compartir todo esto y educar a muchos que no conocen nada de nuestra historia. Mil bendiciones. Abrazos
Excellent work. Very informative, Continue with your works. Thank you
