A review of the files of the NYO, pertaining to the Puerto Rican independence movement, has been made for the purpose of developing counterintelligence measures against this movement. The principal organizations in NY are the Nationalist Party of Puerto Rico (NPPR), the Movimiento Libertador de Puerto Rico (MLPR), and the Movimiento Pro Independencia de Puerto Rico (MPI). The factional struggle within the NPPR is presently dormant but cou'd erupt at any time as the faction in power at the present time continues to attempt to prevent [REDACTED] and his supporters from having a voice vote in the NY Junta. of the MLPR, is presently on parole from incarceration and [REDACTED] is relatively inactive because he fears activity by him will cause his parole to be revoked.

CONTROL APR 261 Bay U.S. Savings Bonds Regularly on the Payroll Savings Plan NY 105-32872 Informants have reported that feelings of suspicion, jealousy, and constant bickering between leaders of the organizations in NY has continued, causing a notable lack of cooperation. There has been some cooperation between the NPPR and the MPI but only for public commemorative meetings. It is felt that no counterintelligence measures could be more disruptive at the present time than the mutual suspicion among pro-independence leaders in NY. Of course, the NYO will remain alert to any situation whereby logical counterintelligence measures could be safely taken if deemed necessary and advisable to further disrupt the Puerto Rican pro-independent groups' in NY. In view of the above, this case is being placed in a pending inactive status for the present. - 2 - ```json [ {"box_2d": [1, 46, 16, 933], "text_content": "-------------------------------------------------------------------\n"}, {"box_2d": [16, 449, 28, 642], "text_content": "-----\n"}, {"box_2d": [38, 326, 57, 359], "text_content": "()"}, {"box_2d": [39, 661, 58, 691], "text_content": "()"}, {"box_2d": [96, 235, 114, 598], "text_content": "SAC, San Juan (105-3353 Sub 1)"}, {"box_2d": [99, 765, 119, 840], "text_content": "4/7/65"}, {"box_2d": [127, 235, 164, 645], "text_content": "REC 5\nDirector, FBI (105-93124) -148"}, {"box_2d": [131, 707, 145, 715], "text_content": "1-"}, {"box_2d": [188, 235, 235, 757], "text_content": "GROUPS SEEKING INDEPENDENCE FOR PUERTO RICO\nCOUNTERINTELLIGENCE PROGRAM\n(SUBVERSIVE CONTROL SECTION)"}, {"box_2d": [263, 354, 282, 581], "text_content": "Reurairtel 3/31/65."}, {"box_2d": [279, 97, 305, 147], "text_content": "The"}, {"box_2d": [294, 233, 433, 922], "text_content": "The article entitled \"How the Reds Make a Riot\"\nhas boen reviewed at the Bureau.

There are several handwritten annotations, including signatures and what appear to be names or identifiers like "Peter," "Reading," and "Cham of KKK." A list of newspapers is visible on the right side of the page with some handwritten initials and a date, "5-13-65," next to "People's World." There are also official stamps indicating "NOT RECORDED" with a date of "4G MAY 17 1965" and a circular stamp with a date "5C MAT 17 1965." Some areas of the page are speckled with carbon copy imperfections. The document is a memorandum from the FBI's Counterintelligence Program (COINTELPRO) detailing groups seeking independence for Puerto Rico.

U.S. embassies and libraries have been mobbed and our diplomats humiliated in Indo- nesia, Ghana, Cyprus, Sudan and Bolivia. American businesses have been smashed in Panama and Vene- zuela.

Red Tornado. Consider the riot as it was wielded in Panama last January. That four-day anti-Ameri- can maelstrom left 24 dead, 400 in- jured, two million dollars' worth of property damaged. When U.S. troops were fired on by snipers and forced to shoot back, the little repub- lic's charges of "U.S. aggression" were blazoned around the world. What really happened in Pana- ma? Communists were already pre- paring to exploit frictions arising from a bus strike when a better issue fell into their laps. U.S. students at Balboa High School, defying agree- ments to fly the flags of both Pana- ma and the United States at speci- fied places, hoisted the U.S. flag alone on their school's flagpole. Informants hurried the news to Panama's communist Minister of Education, Solis Palma, and within hours students and hundreds of in- nocent Panamanian patriots were decoyed into a Red-planned tornado. Experts, reconstructing the Panama explosion, unearthed these facts: • "Molotov cocktails" thrown against U.S. homes, places of busi- ness and automobiles contained not improvised rags stuffed into bottle- necks but meticulously hand-sewn wicks. Student members of a pro- Castro Red organization had stayed after school making the fire bombs a full week before the riots. • An amazed American witness stood beside a radio commentator broadcasting into a portable trans- January mitter: "Ten thousand persons are defying the bullets, going toward the Canal Zone. The North American troops are machine-gun- ning the brave Panamanian patriots. Tanks are now in our territory." What the the riots. • An amazed American witness stood beside a radio commentator broadcasting into a portable trans- January mitter: "Ten thousand persons are defying the bullets, going toward the Canal Zone. The North American troops are machine-gun- ning the brave Panamanian patriots. Tanks are now in our territory." What the commentator was describ- ing bore no resemblance to the scene before them-a small crowd of spec- tators watching a fire-bombed Bra- niff Airways office burn. (Not one U.S. tank or machine gun was used during the four days of disorder.) • A Panamanian carrying a cam- era rushed from the Legislative Pal- ace, drew a pistol and shot a man in the crowd. Affidavits from onlook- ers have confirmed that the killer then snapped a photograph of the body, stepped into a waiting auto and sped away. Later, six known communists led a funeral procession for "martyrs murdered by the North American imperialist troops." • Panamanian President Roberto Chiari, under pressure from com- munist aides and fellow travelers, ordered the troops of Panama's Na- tional Guard to stay in their bar- racks for four days. During the peak of the violence, he appeared on the Presidential Palace balcony with communist agitator Victor Avila, who tongue-lashed the crowds on to new attacks against the Yanquis. *At Panama's request, the highly regarded International Commission of Jurists, from Geneva, Switzerland, conducted an on-the- scene investigation and concluded that if Panama authorities had acted promptly "the violence and damage to property and tragic casualties would not, in all probability, have occurred." ```json [ {"box_2d": [17, 206, 63, 353], "text_content": "1965"}, {"box_2d": [23, 372, 38, 590], "text_content": "HOW THE REDS MAKE A RIOT"}, {"box_2d": [28, 715, 39, 740], "text_content": "65"}, {"box_2d": [45, 212, 115, 460], "text_content": "• Reliable au ties identified\nat least 70 comn .s-an estimat-\ned 55 of them trained in Cuba-agi-\ntating and directing mob action."}, {"box_2d": [45, 482, 117, 730], "text_content": "sneaked into their ranks! in-\nvaded the entrance to Pment\nwhere, traditionally, demonstrations\nare not allowed.

The memo is dated March 31, 1965, and is addressed to the Director of the FBI from the Special Agent in Charge (SAC) in San Juan. The subject is "Groups Seeking Independence for Puerto Rico." Visually, I observe several elements: * **Telephoto Lens Symbol:** A small symbol that appears to be a telephoto lens is present next to the "Via" field, suggesting a method of transmission or an indicator being used. * **Handwritten Numbering:** '2 (2)' is seen next to the 'FROM' line. This might indicate a sequence or an internal coding. * **Handwritten Code:** A handwritten code "105-73124-148" is scrawled in the upper right section of the document. This likely serves as a case file or reference number. * **Stamps and Markings:** There are several official stamps. One reads "REG 5." Another, angled, reads "SUBV. CONTROL" with further handwritten initials next to it. A date stamp indicates "25 APR 1965." There's also a small circular stamp with what appear to be concentric circles and dots. * **Handwritten Annotations:** Besides the codes and stamps, there are informal handwritten annotations such as a curved line with a dot near the "FROM" field, and some underlining. * **"ENCLOSURE" Stamp:** A prominent stamp in the lower left reads "ENCLOSURE" and another smaller one next to it reads "ENCLOSURE ATTACHAU." This indicates that physical items are attached or being referenced. * **"Approved:" Field:** At the bottom, there is a "Special Agent in Charge" field with a handwritten entry "CG.WICH." There are no photographs of individuals or facilities {"box_2d": [259, 290, 274, 538], "text_content": "Congo?\" Nobody knew that either."}, {"box_2d": [270, 560, 286, 809], "text_content": "rode piggyback on the shoulders of"}, {"box_2d": [273, 290, 288, 537], "text_content": "\"Why are you here?\" The answer:"}, {"box_2d": [283, 500, 300, 809], "text_content": "others, to be able to see better and to"}, {"box_2d": [287, 294, 303, 498], "text_content": "\"I was paid ten cruzeiros.\""}, {"box_2d": [298, 561, 313, 677], "text_content": "give directions.)"}, {"box_2d": [300, 306, 315, 538], "text_content": "In Japan, during the weeks of the"}, {"box_2d": [311, 573, 327, 809], "text_content": "Messengers: They carry orders"}, {"box_2d": [315, 290, 331, 538], "text_content": "anti-Eisenhower demonstrations in"}, {"box_2d": [325, 562, 340, 809], "text_content": "and intelligence between the inter-"}, {"box_2d": [328, 293, 346, 538], "text_content": "1960, Red agitators so regularly hired"}, {"box_2d": [339, 562, 354, 809], "text_content": "nal and external commands, and"}, {"box_2d": [342, 293, 400, 538], "text_content": "all applicants away from unemploy-"}, {"box_2d": [353, 562, 369, 766], "text_content": "report on police movements."}, {"box_2d": [355, 293, 371, 538], "text_content": "ment offices that police were able to"}, {"box_2d": [367, 574, 383, 810], "text_content": "Shock guards: Armed with pipes"}, {"box_2d": [370, 293, 386, 538], "text_content": "tell newsmen that the absence of"}, {"box_2d": [380, 562, 397, 809], "text_content": "and staves, these men wait in reserve."}, {"box_2d": [384, 293, 399, 538], "text_content": "lines at those offices in the morning"}, {"box_2d": [393, 561, 410, 809], "text_content": "If police attack the communists, they"}
