NATALIE ROWE: I mean it's been said in the newspapers that he was at university. He wasn't. At the time he was working for William Hague. I remember that vividly because he called William Hague insipid and I didn't know what the word meant. I do now. So he definitely was in government by then but I think he was getting more and more of a high profile.

So there was definitely, there was cocaine on that night on the table. George Osborne did take cocaine on that night. And not just on that night. He took it on a regular basis with me, with his friends.

There were more witnesses, not just me, that witnessed George Osborne taking cocaine. So it's you know, there are other people out there that know the truth.

On that particular night he had taken a line. And I said to George jokingly that when you're prime minister one day I'll have all the dirty goods on you. And he laughed and took a big fat line of cocaine.

Houston Chronicle posted:

SAN ANTONIO - Militia groups along the Texas border have grown to more than 10 active "teams" from El Paso to the Rio Grande Valley, despite warnings from U.S. Customs and Border Protection and state lawmakers.

More than 30 photos showing dozens of members carrying semiautomatic rifles and wearing masks, camouflage and tactical gear obtained by the San Antonio Express-News provide a first glimpse of the militias. The armed individuals are seen posing at campsites, walking along the Rio Grande River, speaking with Border Patrol agents and pointing rifles and pistols out of frame.

A spokesperson for the group provided the photos under the condition that members' faces be blurred because of fear of being identified by "cartel and gang members."

That flag is the emblem of the Three Percenters, who are the militia arm of the Oath Keepers, a far-right nationalist organization that believe it is their sworn duty to protect the Constitution from the government. The name comes from an unsubstantiated statistic that only 3% of the colonial population physically took up arms against the British. This is their flag:

First variant of the Puerto RIco flag, Modeled after the Cuba flag and made in 1892 for the "Intentona de Yauco" one of our many failed revolutions. Outlawed until 1952 when...

Luis Mu�oz Marin, first civilian governor of Puerto Rico implemented this flag as the official flag of Puerto Rico. The change to a darker blue color was not well received among the nationalist of the time, quoting that out flag was desecrated by adopting the colors of the imperialists.

Then in 1995 we got out current flag, kinda a compromise between the first two. Also there is no guideline of what shade of blue the Puerto Rican flag SHOULD be, so you will see all three colors flying around in Puerto Rico. And sometimes they fly specific flags as a Political Statement.

My favorite? The light blue one, not because I would like to see an independent Puerto Rico but because the blue reminds me of Puerto Rico's skies.

Dangit, I wanted to do this. Well, I'll go ahead and talk about even more political Puerto Rican flags, since it's Cool and Interesting and Relatively Unknown.

First on the lineup, we have the flag of the Partido Popular Democr�tico (Popular Democratic Party, aka the Populares), which currently holds the governorship of the island (under Alejandro Garc�a Padilla) and was founded in the 1940s by the aforementioned Luis Mu�oz Mar�n. LMM is essentially the big cheese of Puerto Rican politics; not only is the PPD one of the two biggest parties on the island (the other one, the PNP/NPP, will come up next) and the first elected governor (prior to him, they were appointed by the US government) but he also was one of the driving forces behind two of the major socioeconomic trends of the 20th century: industrialization and emigration. When he came into power in the late 1940s, PR still had a very agrarian economy based on crops like sugar and coffee, among others. He initiated the industrialization plan (called Manos a la obra in Spanish and Operation Bootstrap in English), which led to corresponding urbanization in a relatively short amount of time. This in turn led to a spike in social problems associated with urbanization--drug use, alcoholism, prostitution, etc--so the government then began encouraging Puerto Ricans to move out of the island to urban centers in the mainland US--most famously New York City. Anyways, LMM first came into power on a populist platform appealing to the local poor rural class (colloquialy known as the j�baros) and the party flag reflects that legacy:

Pan, Tierra, Libertad is Spanish for Bread, Land, Freedom, by the way.

OK, second is the other major party in modern Puerto Rican politics, known as the Partido Nuevo Progresista (PNP, known in English as the New Progressive Party). Puerto Rico's status with regards to the US is the major defining issue for all the political parties, and the NPP carries the banner of the pro-statehood movement. Founded in the 1960s by Luis A Ferr�, I honestly don't have much to say about them, but in terms of other political stances I'd put them at somewhere between the Republicans and the Democrats, leaning in favor of the Republicans. The last governor, Luis Fortu�o, belonged to this party, so if you feel like looking up how their policies translate into action, he's probably your best bet for a recent example. In any case, whereas the Populares use the j�baro as their symbol, the NPP has on their flag a palm tree, symbolizing stability and strength even in the powerful winds of a hurricane (as told to me by my very pro-NPP friend):

The words around the palm tree translate to "Statehood, Security, Progress"

Last of the three main parties is the Partido Independentista Puertorrique�o (PIP; Puerto Rican Independentist Party). Like the PDP, it was formed in the 1940s, by Gilberto Concepci�n de Gracia. The name ought to clue you in on what their stance is regarding the status issue: independence for the island. Of course, this goal is itself open to different questions: how soon should independence happen? Would violence be permissible in attaining this goal--as violence had been used for nationalistic purposes in the past and would be used again in the future? In any case, their political influence in the ballot-box is not very great (they haven't broken 7% of the vote in gubernatorial elections in a long. long time) but outside of elections they still hold some decent sway: one of their greatest recent triumphs was getting the US military to abandon its training sites on the island of Vieques. As far as flagchat goes, this is probably my favorite one because it's not just the party seal with some words on a white background:

The design itself is a reference to the first flag ever used to symbolize Puerto Rico: the flag of Lares, site of a rebellion against Spanish rule in 1868:

Interestingly, while the modern Puerto Rican flag is a reference to the Cuban flag (since at the time the two were presented as sisters in revlution--one Puerto Rican poem puts Cuba and PR as two wings of the same bird), the Lares flag is a reference to the flag of the Dominican Republic. I guess all us Spanish Caribbean nations love being bros to each other :buddy:

There's a few other parties that fade in and out with elections, and IMO will not be breaking into major league politics anytime soon, as the two big parties routinely take home 45+% of the vote each. I might do another post about the smaller factions that are also famous in Puerto Rican history (such as the Nationalists, the Macheteros, and so on) but first I'd need to dust off some old books since most of what I'm going off is stuff I learned way back in high school.
