EL MEJOR CANDIDATO INDEPENDIENTE A LA GOBERNACIÓN, Manuel Cidre
ES EL MEJOR, EL NÚMERO UNO (1)
TODOS LOS DEMÁS CANDIDATO A LA
GOBERNACIÓN SON CACA QUE SI SE EMBOTELLAN
SE PIERDE EL ENVASE.
El empresario MANUEL CIDRE MIRANDA
anunció el lunes su intención de correr como candidato independiente a
gobernador de Puerto Rico.
“Estoy
convencido de que Puerto Rico necesita una administración centrada en las
necesidades apremiantes y que atienda con sentido de urgencia para restablecer
el aparato financiero, el desarrollo económico y social y la credibilidad de
las agencias gubernamentales. Puerto Rico no puede continuar entretenido en
temas que nos separan y nos distraen de la solución rápida y certera. Me
presento ante ustedes como un ciudadano común, con las mismas decepciones y
frustraciones que sentimos todos. No tengo un partido político ni una maquinaria
política que me cargue. Me acompaña un profundo deseo de iniciar y dirigir el
cambio que Puerto Rico necesita, transformando a Puerto Rico en un país
gobernable”, dijo Cidre Miranda en conferencia de prensa.
Cidre
Miranda mencionó previo al anuncio que vendió su participación en la empresa
Los Cidrines, de la cual fue su presidente. Además, ha participado en distintos
programas como comentarista invitado.
El empresario expresó que no estaba conforme
con el derrotero del país y se negaba “a montarse en Jet Blue”.
“Yo
comprometo con todas mis fuerzas a poner la lealtad con Puerto Rico y no con un
partido político”, expresó.
Durante su anuncio, presentó un documento
denominado Pacto Ético, en el cual se compromete con una campaña limpia y
positiva; no aceptar donativos de entidades o personas que no sean afines con
su propuesta de campaña; no utilizar pasquines ni guaguas de sonido en alto
volumen y limitar sustancialmente los gastos de la campaña tomando en cuenta la
crisis fiscal del país entre otros.

ISIS take a hammer to civilization 3,000 year old artworks smashed to pieces.
ISIS take a hammer to civilization 3,000 year old artworks smashed to pieces.
Besides removing supposed temptations to idolatry, Islamic jihadists want to ruin the artifacts of non-Muslim civilizations because doing so testifies to the truth of Islam, as the Qur’an suggests that ruins are a sign of Allah’s punishment of those who rejected his truth:
Many were the Ways of Life that have passed away before you: travel through the earth, and see what was the end of those who rejected Truth. (Qur’an 3:137)
This is one of the foundations of the Islamic idea that pre-Islamic civilizations, and non-Islamic civilizations, are all jahiliyya — the society of unbelievers, which is worthless. Obviously this cuts against the idea of tourism of ancient sites and non-Muslim religious installations such as St. Catherine’s monastery. V. S. Naipaul encountered this attitude in his travels through Muslim countries. For many Muslims, he observed in Among the Believers, “The time before Islam is a time of blackness: that is part of Muslim theology. History has to serve theology.” Naipaul recounted that some Pakistani Muslims, far from valuing the nation’s renowned archaeological site at Mohenjo Daro, saw its ruins as a teaching opportunity for Islam, recommending that Qur’an 3:137 be posted there as a teaching tool.
ISIS thugs take a hammer to civilization: Priceless 3,000-year-old artworks smashed to pieces in minutes as militants destroy Mosul museum. Islamic State thugs have destroyed a collection of priceless statues and sculptures in Iraq dating back thousands of years.
Extremists used sledgehammers and power drills to smash ancient artwork as they rampaged through a museum in the northern city of Mosul.

Militant uses a power tool to destroy a winged-bull Assyrian protective deity at the Ninevah Museum in Mosul, Iraq. The statue dates back to the 9th century B.C.
One of the items, depicting a winged-bull Assyrian protective deity, dates back to the 9th century B.C.
A man shown in the video said the items were being destroyed because they promoted idolatry.
‘The Prophet ordered us to get rid of statues and relics, and his companions did the same when they conquered countries after him,’ the unidentified man said.
The articles destroyed appeared to come from an antiquities museum in the northern city of Mosul, which was overrun by Islamic State last June, a former employee at the museum told Reuters.
The extremist group has destroyed a number of shrines – including Muslim holy sites – in a bid to eliminate what it views as heresy.
Militants are also believed to have sold ancient artwork on the black market in order to finance their bloody campaign across the region.
The video bore the logo of the ISIS group’s media arm and was posted on a Twitter account used by the group.
Yesterday it was revealed how terrorists had blown up the Mosul Public Library, sending 10,000 books and more than 700 rare manuscripts up in flames.
Leading members of Mosul society reportedly tried to stop the fanatics destroying the building, but failed.
