The United States for many years has tried to convert Puerto Rico into a model of hybrid culture: the Spanish language with English inflections, the Spanish language with hinges on its backbone – the better to bow down before the Yankee soldier.  Puerto Rican soldiers have been used as cannon fodder in imperialist wars, as in Korea, and have even been made to fire at their own brothers, as in the massacre perpetrated by the US army a few months ago against the unarmed people of Panama – one of the most recent crimes carried out by Yankee imperialism.  And yet, despite this assault on their will and their historical destiny, the people of Puerto Rico have preserved their culture, their Latin character, their national feelings, which in themselves give proof of the implacable desire for independence lying within the masses on that Latin American island.  Che Guevara, speech United Nations December 1964

Puerto Rico was annexed by the US.  But then in 1952 it got some independence just enough to stop the Pentagon making it a home away from home.  At its peak the US had no less than 25 installations across the island.  Orlando believes that many of the phenomena that occur on this island can be explained by this massive military presence.  And that Puerto Rico is being used as a giant Petri dish for American experiments ... This is true: Puerto Rican women were given birth control pills that were still highly experimental, and basically they were used as guinea pigs.  The World’s Strangest UFO Stories, 2006
