"Carpeta: Filiberto/ File: Filiberto", Yasmin Hernandez, Mixed media on file
folder, 2007
"In order to appraise the caliber of leadership in the Puerto Rican
independence movement, particularly as it pertains to our efforts to disrupt
their activities and compromise their effectiveness…we must determine their
capabilities of influencing others, capabilities of real leadership, why the
intense desire for Puerto Rico's independence, what they expect to gain from
independence and the support they have from other leaders and rank-and-file
members. We must have information concerning their weaknesses, morals,
criminal records, spouses, children, family life, educational qualifications
and personal activities other than independence activities."
-FBI, COINTELPRO (Subversive Controls Section): MEMO, 1960
