Spent a lot of time looking at the Spanish Empire, how the region fragmented and balkanized. The inevitable happened, Mr. Kenny has entered Spanish American war territory. I think the war was staged, there is no other explanation. The President of Spain at that time was a fellow by the name of Práxedes Mateo Sagasta. A Freemason and that explains to me a lot of things.
Is the most fake conflict in the history of warfare. Spain had good ships, superior rifles, superior canons. They didn’t sent soldiers to San Juan Bautista aka Puerto Rico. They never sent their fleet, which included not one, but several submarines. They dismantled the defenses of Puerto Rico months before the invasion.
In 1897, an explosion happened, in the munition warehouse of the Spanish troops in San Juan. They were left without gun powder for their rifles and cannons. The only people with access to the munition warehouse were the Spanish troops. This was an act of sabotage. In other words, they themselves blew up the munition cache. In the same year, Spain ordered the walls in Old San Juan to be knocked down. Those walls have been there for 400 years. In other words, all the defenses were dismantled and all of this was happening months before the American invasion. That was the defense Spain did in Puerto Rico. They knocked down the walls. Exploded the munition cache, didn’t send funds, or soldiers.
It get worst folks, much worst OK. The intelligence branch in San Juan Bautista, what is known as the CIA in the USA, that whole unit was disbanded months before the invasion. The Puerto Rican elite soldiers, all the top guys, those units were dissolved months before the invasion. Thousands of elite soldiers were dissolved.
Everything points out to an arrangement between Spain and the US. Spain had traitors in their political class. The president of Spain was a Freemason. The president of the US was a Freemason. The governor of San Juan Bautista another Freemason. A fellow by the name of Manuel Macías Casado. He gave instructions to the troops- pay attention- to do a little skirmish with the Americans and retreat. Those were the orders, skirmish and retreat to make it look legit. With the exception of the Battle of Asomante in the town of Coamo and also in the town of Aibonito. In that place, the troops didn’t received the orders, fought like tigers and they drove the American troops away. There was no way Americans could take San Juan Bautista. When the Americans arrived from the ships, they were dizzy, sea sick and malnourished.
I don’t even bother looking at what happened in Cuba. Thanks to them we were dragged in a war that had nothing to do with us. I think the Cubans cut a deal with the Americans, help us out and as a repayment take Puerto Rico. Everything that the Cubans were fighting for, the people of San Juan Bautista achieved with diplomacy. The legal framework of the modern Spain that people see today, originated in 
Puerto Rico. That was the work of our politicians people. We were the first Autonomous Community. The proto Autonomy, and our political class did this, Spain ended up with the benefits we didn’t.
Some people argue that President Sagasta took money under the table. The Treaty of Paris which ended the Spanish American war, was illegal from top to bottom. Legally it violated the constitution of all the parties involved Spain, Puerto Rico and I would argue the US. That treaty was negotiated by a French who was not part of the Spanish goverment and that was a violation of the Spanish constitution. Furthermore, no officials from San Juan Bautista were present, violating all the laws of the Autonomous Chart.
We had nothing to do whatsoever with what was happening in Cuba. The consul of the US in San Juan a fellow by the name of Philip C. Hanna wrote a long report about the situation. People here were doing fine economically, quiet happy with the political situation. We had won a great victory politically with Autonomy, they had full representation in Spain. The currency was stable, our products were being sold in Spain, France, and Germany. The trade routes were solid and even commerce with South America was being re-established.
The President of Spain quit his position shortly after the war ended. That treaty had to be signed by the Queen of Spain and she could not do that. The treaty had to be signed by the Spanish court. Not many people know this, the elected deputies from San Juan Bautista in the Spanish Parliament, they stayed in their positions until the year 1900, getting paid, working and approving laws. They were trying to include an amendment to the Treaty of Paris, saying that the people here had the right to re-negotiate the treaty when problems emerged.
Anyway… that’s the birds eye view. Had to vent 
some of the frustration here. By the way all these Freemason traitors, ended being either murdered or committing suicide.
