Island of Vieques, also called "Isla Nena."
http://iraap.org/Martin/Vieques.htm

Immediately after the Spanish-American War of 1898,
in which Spain was defeated by the United States of
America, Puerto Rico, smaller of the Greater
Antilles, was invaded and occupied by American
military forces. Coveted by the colonial powers of
the nineteenth century for its strategic position
in the Caribbean, Puerto Rico was a valuable spoil
of war for the US Navy, which prevented a request
made by the Puerto Rican people to put the
possibility of an independent Puerto Rican state
before the voters. This request had been promoted
by the internationally recognized Puerto Rican
intellectual Eugenio Maria de Hostos.

Finally, the United States declared its sovereignty
over the archipelago of Puerto Rico and the minor
islands that form a part of its territory -- among
them Vieques, Culebra, Mona, Monito and Desecheo,
as well as a number of islands and keys, thanks to
the so-called Agreement of Paris, in which Spain
yielded its sovereignty over Puerto Rico.
Afterwards, due to Puerto Rico's lack of political
power in relation to the USA, situations arose that
adversely affected the inhabitants of Vieques.
Among the specific events which motivated the
writing of this book are the following:

[] On March 17, 1941, through Public Law 13,
the USA appropriated 36 million dollars for
the construction of a naval base on the
island of Vieques, also called "Isla Nena."

[] On August 25, 1941, through Public Law 247,
the USA authorized US Naval forces to begin to
expropriate more than two thirds of the area
of the small island. The land acquisition began
in 1942, and many residents of Vieques were
evicted from their land and residences.

   As compensation for their seized property,
some residents received the negligible sum of
$27.00! Afterwards, they were thrown cruelly
close to their property, on a sugar cane
plantation where several babies were born
outdoors, of mothers who were embarrassed by
the timing of the expropriations. Such was
the case of the wife of Mr. Ramon Russe Solis.

[] In August, 1947, the Department of the
Interior and the US Department of the Navy
proposed a plan to transfer the entire
population of Vieques to the island of
Santa Cruz (St. Croix) in the Virgin Islands,
in order to use the entire island of Vieques
as a naval base.

[] In 1963, American military authorities
proposed (rather, they tried to impose again)
the pernicious operation known as the
"Dracula Plan." This plan included not only
the relocation of all of the inhabitants of
Vieques to the main island of Puerto Rico or
Santa Cruz, but also the removal of all tombs
and bodies from the cemetery on Vieques, for
relocation to the principal island of Puerto
Rico. Luis Munoz Marin, the governor at the
time, was conscious of the problems that such
an action would create for both the US
government and for Puerto Rico as well, since
the Puerto Rican people carry a deep respect
for their deceased. He warned the Navy of the
serious social and political turmoil that this
would cause. Eventually, the Navy was
stopped from its original plan. You might say
that in this case, dead men conquered the live
ones, or at least conquered the US Navy.

At present, according to the US Navy, Vieques is
"... a frontier region of great strategic value."
Opposite ends of the island-two thirds of its
territory-are occupied nowadays by the United
States Navy, which leaves the civil population
crowded in the center. Local residents are at the
mercy of errant bombs from a multitude of practice
exercises in the military zones of the island.
These consist of series of test launches and
air-to-land bombing missions by naval
aviators-in-training. One of these sites, called
"Bulls-eye Target Two," has even been designed as
a nuclear bombardment test site. The Weapon Field
of the Atlantic Fleet is composed of the Roosevelt
Roads Naval Base, Vieques, and until 1980, the
neighboring island of Culebra, located northeast of
Vieques. Culebra, part of the archipelago of Puerto
Rico, is one of the naval testing grounds, and is
one of the most active places in the world for
experimentation with new armament, since it is used
jointly by naval fleets of all of the US allies.

Significant pieces of naval armament have been tested
in this area. Among the air and land missiles which
have been tested are the Walleye, Bulldog and Bullup,
joined by a number of air-to-air missiles, including
a very dangerous weapon to which we refer in the
final chapter. Artillery support for amphibious
landing forces is also tested on the island's beaches,
and is utilized as much for developing the skills of
the fire control teams and equipment as it is for the
cargo of cannons and weaponry.

Bombardment from naval ships -- more intense during
the spring months -- recently averaged 140 exercises
with two dozen participating ships, whereas
bombardments from the ships to shore were taking
place approximately 100 days a year. Aerial bombardment
schedules change in dates and duration. In addition to
all of the above, it has been revealed that the Navy
has been using depleted uranium ammunition in Vieques
during its naval exercises... and we all know the
consequences of this. Today the Viequan population has
an alarming higher rate of cancer than anywhere in
Puerto Rico, among other fatal illnesses.

Today, Vieques, the only place in the Puerto Rican
archipelago visited by South American liberator Simon
Bolivar in 1816, is the only inhabited zone in the
world where military forces use live ammunition for
bombing exercises and new weapons testing. These
practices have already been in effect for 60 years.
The result of this military presence in the area has
led to a deterioration in the in the environment,
culture and spiritual values in the entire Viequan
community, as well as to the death, direct and indirect,
of several residents of Vieques, including children.
Recently there was another victim of an errant bomb,
security guard David Sanes. Also, fisherman Carlos Zenon
and his son Yabureibo were recently sentenced to six
months in prison merely for trespassing the firing range,
something that is usually punished with a reprimand or
a fine of $25.00 dollars.

But additionally, all of the military activity on the
island has been accompanied by innumerable and very
strange incidents related to the presence UFOs and
aliens in the area. This unusual presence is what
motivated the investigation that resulted in the writing
of the book Vieques: Shooting Range of the Third Kind.
These incidents and facts might explain the continued
interest that the military and the US government take
in the island. We invite our readers to study and
reflect upon the content of these pages.

Next: details of an important observation made to the
south of the navy's firing range in Vieques by fishermen
Anibal Corcino, his father, and the fisherman mentioned
above, Carlos Zenón, who is now imprisoned.

Consider two disasters:

1. At a nuclear power plant ten miles from a
state capitol, a valve opens to relieve pressure
in the reactor, but doesn't close back as intended.
Cooling water drains out of the nuclear core, which
starts to overheat and eventually becomes a mass of
molten radioactive material. It melts through the
concrete foundation and sinks into the groundwater.
Geysers of radioactive steam spout into the air.
The mist drifts across the neighboring cities,
leaving a trail of corpses. Pregnant women deliver
children with terrible birth defects.

2. Greenhouse gases increase the planet's average
temperature three to nine degrees by the end of
the century. Unprecedented heat waves provoke
deadly strokes among the elderly, and new asthma
outbreaks among children. Wildfires, droughts, and
dust storms sweep the country. Intense rainstorms
destroy homes on floodplains in low-lying areas.
Category Five hurricanes render cities along the
Gulf of Mexico almost uninhabitable. Melting polar
ice caps raise the sea level 37 inches and flood
coastal communities. At least one million species
are driven to extinction. Mosquitoes carrying
dengue fever swarm into Florida and Texas, and
malaria creeps into new parts of Southeast Asia,
South America, and Africa, killing as it spreads.

The first scenario -- the China Syndrome that
experts feared was under way during the accident
at Three Mile Island -- never happened.
The second one is daily unfolding around us.
No utility has opened a US nuclear power plant
since that dark day in 1979. But if we want to
avoid the catastrophe known as global warming,
we'd better start soon.

[...]
Nuclear Now, for the Good of the Earth
Our search for energy has come down to
a choice between the perils of nukes
and the perils of global warming.
