CNI Spanish Secret Service. A King business? Part 3

Before going on with the Kings affairs in Spain´s recent History let us review a little the "glorious" history of the party that holds the reins of our country nowadays to have a broader skope so as to understand what can the King´s favourite political party be able to do.

No other political party has such a long record in Spain´s History of intrigues and coups d´etat like the PSOE (Spanish Worker Socialist Party) that currently governs our country.
.
In 1909 PSOE was involved in the "Barcelona Tragic Week" a time of revolt and indiscriminate crime that forced the government to declare the state of war. Thousands were killed and the main motto was "long life to dynamite", among other crimes several members of the clergy were killed and graves were desecrated. Pablo Iglesias first condemned this revolt and years after he admitted that the PSOE was also in the plot.

It is something really striking how many people do still see this party as a champion of freedom and democracy bearing in mind its totally rotten history. PSOE´s founder Mr. Pablo Iglesias who has several streets accross Spain named after him said in the parliament in 1910:

"We must, in view of the the tendency caused by Your Lordship to the present political system, commit to overthrow this regime. Such has been the outrage over Mr. Maura Government's policy in the proletarian elements that we've come as far as to consider that before Your Lordship rises to power again we must go to the personal attack"(p. 439-443 Parliament Daily Record 07/07/1910).
.
This is what the founder of PSOE had to say in the Parliament to the President of the Government. He was urged by the President of the Parliament to withdraw those words 3 times and he refused to do so.

Fifteen days later Manuel Posa shot Mr. Antonio Maura who was seriously injured, the next day a protest was formulated in the Congress, a protest Mr. Pablo Iglesias did not subscribe.

In the same session of the Congress where he threatened to kill the President of the Government Mr. Iglesias also said:

"...we are in (subjected to) the law while the law allows us to acquire what we need, outside the law when the law will not allow us to realize our aspirations"

In the light of events in which the PSOE has been involved that went on in the years after this statement was spitted, Mr. Iglesias could be considered a really sharp prophet.
.
In 1917 the PSOE supported the Revolutionary General Strike, an attempt of revolution inspired in the Soviet 1917 revolution in Russia.
.
In 1923 they took part in the Primo de Rivera dictatorship despite the huge political differences between PSOE and the general and in the next years the PSOE was in charge of the State Council and they also were part of various other councils and other government agencies. King Alfonso was kindly asked to remain seated and not mess in politics which he obediently did...
.
In 1929-1930 they abandoned Primo de Rivera and began to work against the establishment of a parliamentary republic proposing the establishment of a revolutionary republic instead.
.
In 1931 after April´s municipal elections where the monarchist forces obtained more councillors than the republicans, but that the republicans won in the larger cities, the PSOE was among those who urged the King to go before 7 pm on April 14th on the grounds that if he did not do so they would not be able to guarantee his safety and that of his family.
.
Those elections were intended to vote over the townships representatives not to change the political regime, however it became yet another de facto coup d´etat and Juan Carlos´ grandfather packed every thing quick and left for Rome...always serving Spain.
.
Interesting to highlight that all leftist parties in Spain consider nowadays this coup d´etat as an example of legitimacy as opposed to General Franco insurrection against that same republic offsetting the fact that the advent of that idealized republic was a completely illegal change of regime that was not voted by the Spaniards.
.
In 1934 the PSOE organized yet another coup d´etat. The reason for doing so was no other than the fact that the conservative party (CEDA) won the general elections in 1933. The left wing parties told the CEDA leaders that they would not accept a government ran by this party (CEDA). Sounds incredible, doesn´t it? Incredible but true. CEDA conceded and the centre radical party led by Mr. Lerroux conformed a government, when finally CEDA got to enter in the government holding only three ministries the revolt broke.

The coup included the kidnapping of the President of the Republic and establishment of a Government of People's Commissars. By that time, Luis Companys declared the Catalan State within the Spanish Federal Republic.
.
The coup collapsed throughout the country except in Asturias, where 30,000 men, socialists and other groups were picking on priests, guardia civil and some civilians. The Socialist deputy Ramón González Peña blew the safes of the Bank of Spain. The government managed to maintain control by sending the army, but still nearly 3,000 lives were lost. Largo Caballero (PSOE leader) was several months in prison.
.
During this revolt in Asturias among other military that were sent by the government to fight down this revolution there was a young officer named Juan Rodríguez Lozano to the orders of a young general named Francico Franco. The first happens to be Zapatero´s grandfather. A man our president prides himself on being his grandson fought under Franco military command against those socialists that were killing and revolting.
.
Mr Lozano ended up being murdered by Franco military as Zapatero has told several times but although he went to Asturias to shoot PSOE militants down under Franco´s command his grandson seems not to remember those events although as Secretary General of PSOE nowadays he should have something to say.
.
In 1936 a PSOE militant murdered Calvo Sotelo (leader of the opposition), and this event was the stroke that broke the camel and the already on its way military uprising took place shortly after.
During the Spanish Civil War Largo Caballero (PSOE) who was President of the Government for several months answered in this way to Stalin´s recommendation to keep some form of parliamentary activity in order to gain the sympathy of Western democracies for his cause:

"Whatever the fate the future preserves to the parliamentary institution, it (parliaments) has not among us, even among Republicans, enthusiastic advocates" Sounds so democratic!!
.
A statue of Largo Caballero was built in Moscow and a huge one of Stalin presided the "Puerta de Alcalá" in Madrid not far from the torture center installed in "Círculo de Bellas Artes" (The Circle of Fine Arts) where red commissars interrogated suspects that were arrested on the grounds of wearing a hat or going to church.
.
When Franco won the war in 1939 the PSOE practically vanished into the air and the exile government and the scarce resistance (mostly operating in France and Spanish America) was almost completly carried out by the Spanish Communist Party (PCE)
.
In 1975 Felipe González (now one of the wealthiest Spanish persons) who had been elected Secretary General two years before in Suresnes (France) walked freely accross Spain shortly after Franco´s death. Police had instructions not to arrest him under any circumstances and he was already in talks with King Juan Carlos who was, family traditions, intriguing as usual.
.
It is said that either Mr. González contacted the CIA or it was this agency that got in contact with him but the reason for these talks would be that by supporting PSOE the CIA would prevent the Communist Party to have a more relevant role in the transition to a parliamentary democracy. This does make sense specilally given the cold war scenario and the strategic importance that Spain has for the US for geographical and obvious reasons.
.
Furthermore, in those years Spain could either become a rear front enemy allied with the Soviets or the strategic second line of defense in the case of a Soviet successful "blitzkrieg" assaulting Western Europe.
First general elections were won by the Adolfo Suárez lead UCD (Democratic Center Union) and in the 5 following years Mr. González and the PSOE opposition was ruthless and mercyless with bawdy insults spitted on and on and the constant threat of a revolutionary general strike.
.
Anyone can imagine that King Juan Carlos was contemplating how his grandfather story could repeat again on himself making him run away same as King Alfonso did in 1931. He wanted the socialist to be in office as soon as possible so that after having a grip of Power they would become less revolutionary and somehow more easy-going.
.
In part 4 we shall see how tight they (PSOE) squeezed the udders of democracy and how they became factical allies to the King in the building up of what we can call the Spanish Establishment although it would be more precise to call the Ruling Club or the Wise Guys Lodge...Yet another couple of coupes d´etat for the long record of PSOE "epic" history.
.

CNI Spanish Secret Service. A King business? Part 2




In this second part we shall go through the main mailstones of King Juan Carlos de Borbón´s political history and we shall see that he is far from being the friendly and affable good-humored person that all the brown-nosers courtiers that butter the King up want to make us believe he is.


Juan Carlos de Borbón is no newcomer to the politics arena.



He was born in Rome in 1938 in the exile, a year before the end of Spain´s disastrous Civil War. His grandfather Alfonso XIII left Spain in 1931 shortly before the proclamation of the 2nd Spanish Republic (disastrous as well) and in his childhood years in Rome although his family was not poor, he did not enjoy the luxury and the glamour that he later achieved and that he is so fond of.

Francisco Franco´s intention was to perpetuate his Regime ("El Movimiento Nacional" "The National Movement) under the figure of a authoritarian monarchy and he chose Juan Carlos instead of his father who was the direct successor of dethroned King Alfonso XIII. In 1969 Juan Carlos was appointed Franco´s Successor and he acknowledge the political legitimacy of the Franco Regime (first video) and swore loyalty and fidelity to the principles of the "National Movement" and to Franco, and in 1975 after Franco´s death he became King and chief of state (second video)




In 1969 immediately after being proclaimed Franco´s successor he wrote a letter to his Father Don Juan saying that he had to accept this decision for the sake of Spain.

Of course nobody in their right mind can believe such story knowing the firm determination that Juan Carlos father had to become King.

In his inauguration speech right after Franco´s death Juan Carlos de Borbón praised the figure of Francisco Franco:

"An exceptional figure comes in history. The name of Francisco Franco is now a landmark of Spanish History and a milestone event that will be impossible to stop referring to understand the key to our contemporary political life. With respect and gratitude I recall the figure who for many years assumed the heavy responsibility of leading the government of the State. His memory will be for me a demand for performance and loyalty to the duties I assume for the service of this country. It is of great and noble peoples to remember those who dedicated their lives to the service of an ideal. Spain will never forget who, as soldier and statesman, has devoted his whole life to service.

I know that the Spanish people will understand my feelings at this time. But the line of duty is above any other circumstance. My father taught me this from childhood, and has been a constant in my family, who always wanted to serve Spain with all its (family) might."

This last part is incredibly funny if we consider that out of ten "Borbones" only one can be considered an above average statesman. The Borbón family has always been noted for caring about their family businesses and their particular interests rather than caring about Spain´s fate. King Juan Carlos great-grandfather Ferdinand VII was probably the worst of kings spain has suffered in the last 500 years. He betrayed his father, another useless lazy fellow, Charles IV, and allowed Napoleon to ravish Spain for years while he was living safe in France. After Napoleon was defeated he again betrayed Spain for he did not like the liberal ideas flourishing in our country after the Constitution of 1812 was proclaimed and he brought an army sponsored by absolute monarchs (popularly known as the 100.000 sons of Saint Louis) to reinforce the king´s authority. Ferdinand betrayed his father, brought two wars and betrayed the confidence of thousands of people who shed their blood for the cause of his throne. What a life dedicated to serve Spain!!

Elizabeth II was a scatty lady who was fond of appointing her lovers as ministers or relevant politics. Alfonso XIII (Juan Carlos´grandfather) was responsible of the biggest massacre during the Moroccan war when in a place called "Annual" (El desastre de Annual) thousands of Spanish soldiers were killed after being ambushed by the enemy. Alfonso XIII was fond of playing as a brilliant general being no more than a "lounge" general and he interfered in the strategic guidelines of the high command which ended in the coup d´etat led by General Primo de Rivera who put an end to the war with a victory in Alhucemas and an end in Alfonso´s hobby of playing strategist games that costed Spain so much blood and pain. Of course he did not set a foot in Spain during the Civil War which he followed from Rome on the radio...We could go on and on reviewing this eagerness the Borbones have had to serve...

Going back to the recent past we can say that in less than ten years Juan Carlos de Borbón betrayed his father Don Juan by accepting something his father wanted for himself with the ridiculous excuse of doing it to serve Spain (always serving!)(1969), swore loyalty to Franco and his regime (1969), again swore loyalty to Franco in 1975 and then betrayed his own oaths in 1978 when he became the King of a regime completely different of that he swore to be loyal to 3 years before.

Would you buy this man a second hand car?

Being Head of State for 35 years, enjoying complete and official criminal immunity by law, having an undisguised taste for wealth and luxury, showing a proven capacity to let´s say "change his mind" when he finds it convenient, being a reputed flirt, and having such a tendency for intrigue make King Juan Carlos a coveted target for all secret services in the world and very specially to those of enemy countries like Morocco (let us call things by their real names).

Spanish secret services cannot lack behind and must be also in the loop of what goes on around the Spanish royals in order to try to be a step ahead of their colleagues and also to try to neutralize their (other service´s) strategies, not forgetting that regardless of the monarchy´s fate there will always be secret services with one name or another, and a well structured and documented information in the right hands becomes a precious piece of intelligence when needed.

In Spain criticizing the King can result in up to 2 years of inprisonment and some times people are afraid that the most innocent of critics can be interpreted as an insult by the thousands of suckers that populate Spain´s ruling class.

It is also a very interesting fact the appreciation of the king for those who have never supported him and his contempt for those who he assumes as loyals as we shall see later on in this series of posts.

Soon part 3!

CNI Spanish Secret Service. A King business? Part 1

In 1996 Spanish Popular Party (PP) won that year´s General Elections by a narrow margin after 14 years of socialist rule.
.
One of the main messages that the PP consistently sent to the public opinion was that a political regeneration was necessary. This need for regenaration was indeed understood and supported by most well informed Spaniards and apparently was something that José María Aznar was going to tackle at the beginning of the PP´s first time in history political term.
.
Aznar was willing to wipe the sewers of the secret service and the Ministry of the Interior and shed some lights in the dark events that occurred during the 14 years of Socialist governments.
He never did so and that was the cause of what has gone on with the PP ever since then, with a very spacial significance in the terrorists attacks of March 11th 2004 that paved the way for a new Socialist era in the elections that took place only three days after (March 14th 2004).
.
We shall go through some of the most relevant of those dark events mentioned avobe but first we shall see how Aznar´s first attempts to cleanse the rotten core of the security services where immediately headed off by King Juan Carlos.
.
It is a well known fact the disaffection that King Juan Carlos has always had towards José María Aznar which it is in my believe corresponded by Mr. Aznar, and that in my opinion is something that honors him.
.
Aznar intended to designate Rafael Arias-Salgado as minister of defense. In Spain the Ministry of Defense is in charge of the secret service (CESID in those years, now known as CNI).
Arias-Salgado was convinced of the need to assist the judiciary by handing the requested classified documents to the courts that were instructing cases of corruption and murder involving the 1982-1996 Socialist Party administration.
.
Ex-president Felipe González who had just lost against his most hated adversary could be brought to trial before a court to face charges of state terrorism. Mr. Gozález, nowadays a really wealthy man that works for tycoons such as Carlos Slim or tyrants as King Mohamed VI of Morocco among others, could not tolarate such humiliation and talked to his good mate and friend King Juan Carlos to convice his Majesty of the need to stop the little moustache guy (Aznar) from designating Rafael Arias-Salgado and to appoint someone more docile in the Defense Ministry.
.
No doubt King Juan Carlos was easily convinced of the need to stop Aznar in this one since he knew that the secret service had abundant information about some not too clear royal deeds and despite of enjoying full immunity meaning that he cannot be judged under any circumstances, airing out some of Juan Carlos deeds could damage the Kings unrealistic image of a matey and hartey fellow that still most Spaniards have about the King.
.
The pressure applied on Aznar had to be really big and probably the conversation turned to the "raison d´etat" to convince Aznar that prosecuting an ex-President could end up being bad for the democracy and the country in general and of course could become a precedent to prosecute other Presidents...
.
Aznar gave up and appointed Mr. Eduardo Serra as head of the Ministry of Defense and thus as top responsible of the secret service. Eduardo Serra had already been number two in the Defense Ministry under González socialist administrations and was and is considered one of the Kings´men. No single paper was sent to any court from the CESID headquarters.
.
Mr. Jorge Dezcallar was also imposed as Director of the CESID to make sure that all was "under the right" control.
The secret services must be under control of course, but under the control of the government and the parliament not under the control of an "establishment" that wants to thrive and keep its "businesses" unknown to the public opinion as much as possible.
.
To know the skope of the things that this "establishment" wanted, and wants, to keep under lock simply highlight some facts: a minister of Interior during the Gonzalez administrations, Mr José Barrionuevo, was convicted and jailed on charges of supporting and funding state terrorism and a General Director of Guardia Civil, Mr. Luis Roldán, ran away after plundering huge amounts of money intended for the security of this prestigious police force (barracks, equipment, etc).
.
Luis Roldán was later captured in a yet unexplained operation in Laos (it was not Laos at the end) that we may try to explain some day in this blog.
.
Basically the Aznar Administrations from 1996 to 2004 were infiltrated with the royal acknowledgment by numerous elements loyal to the socialists and willing to keep all the accumulated dirt under lock as well as to provide the PSOE (socialist party) constant and relevant information on inteligence matters while they were in the opposition. These elements always kept the PSOE socialist aparatchick on the loop and according to many people in Spain were responsible by act or by omission of the terrorist attack in Madrid in March 2004
.
Jorge Dezcallar played a very important role and paid a very important service to his mentors in the clue days between the 11th and the 14th of March of 2004. After the terrorist attack he spoke 7 times to Mrs. Ana Palacio (Foreign Affairs Minister in those days) who was in talks with the UN Security Council in order to issue a statement against the terrorist group ETA.
According to Mrs Ana Palacios, Mr Dezcallar told her the night of the 12th of March:
"In these attacks there is what we call noise in the system. [...] I can assure you that I have spoken to all the major intelligence services and no one has heard any noise on this particular attack." assuming that what he had told her 7 times before (that the attack came from ETA non controlled elements and not islamic terrorist) was right.

By doing this Mr. Dezcallar paid a very important service to his mentors by misinforming the government and providing, as many people suspect, intelligence to the PSOE that they used in the 3 days after the attack and before the general elections.
Dezcallar services were praised by the socialist Zapatero administration and he was appointed ambassador to the Holy See and is currently Spain´s ambassador to the USA. Not too bad for the person who apparently knew nothing of what was going on...only apparently.

Also Dezcallar name´s appears as a candidate to become the new Chief of the "Royal House". This position is obviously only for those most trusted by the King. Isn´t it amusing?

Morocco, Spain´s friendly foe and what does Zapatero owe Mohamed.

It is really amazing to hear each and every important Spanish politician that good relations with Morocco are a must. It is even more shocking to hear Socialist politicians saying that we, Spain, have always great relations with the Kingdom of Morocco.
Good relations with Morocco is something desirable but it is far from being a must, and when someoene dares to say that we have such lovely relations with Moroccan autorities is maybe forgetting that we have had a war incident 7 years ago when kicking Moroccan soldiers off a small Spanish sovereignty island (Perejil), and forgetting as well that we have had no Moroccan ambassador for the last 8 months!
Most of Morocco´s strategic objectives include the need to weaken Spain. A strong Spain controlling from both sides the strait of Gibraltar (mainland Spain and Ceuta /Melilla) and developing a proactive foreign policy in Northern Africa is King-Dictator´s Mohamed VI worst nightmare.
Moroccan services know that a socialist led cabinet is always weaker. Socialist are more reluctant to show teeth, they also carry this unique Spanish guilt complex that consist in a "please forgive us" attitude towards any one who calls us racists or simply anyone saying they are "moderate" muslims.
Morocco knows that over a million of their citizens living in Spain and some even serving in our armed forces are a very important asset in their strategic game, but it is not the most important asset.
Every intelligence service knows that updated, relevant and dirty information about your rival is precious. In the intelligence arena Morocco has probably as much relevant information as Spain does but Morocco has a huge advantage: Morocco is not a democracy.
There is nothing such as free press, free television or freedom of opinion, the King and his people can do and undo at their own discretion and they can shut a radio station, censor newspapers and arrest journalist and no one will dare to protest. The Moroccan authorities have almost nothing to fear about their public opinion having access to confidential information leaked from Spanish secret services.
On the contrary Spanish authorities, from King Juan Carlos down to the last government official, have much more to fear about the use that Moroccan secret services do of the delicate information they manage.
The fact that it is very likely, in my case I am certain, that Morocco manages really compromising and delicate information about Madrid terrorsit attack in March 11th 2004 is a terrible threat to Spanish socialist government.
The possibility that Morocco´s services leak evidences that could lead to prove that some pro-socialist individuals operating in the "sewing system" of the Ministry of the Interior during the José María Aznar´s administration knew more about the terrorist attack is a devastating scenario for Spanish socialist government now.
If Morocco leaks information proving that pro-socialist elements were acting on their own during the conservative administration of Aznar and that these elements plotted so as to change the colour of the government in 2004, Zapatero would have to resign.
The sole idea of a joint venture between low profile Moroccan drug dealer criminals, that "happened" to be also police informers, and "freelance" pro socialist elements from the Spanish security services to change a government by the use of terror seems a crazy thing if we are not in the context of what happened in Spain in March 2004:
1.- Hundreds of tons of debris and unclaimed personal belongings from passengers on board the trains (evidences) vanished. This is something completely out of the police procedures about crime scene investigation and evidence protection. Even in plain or train accidents the wreckages are kept for months to be studied.
2.- The little evidence that was left was not analyzed by the Forensic Police Lab as it is regularly done. In this case they were analyzed by the deactivation squad lab, which is a lab meant for on site first analysis not for proper in depth studies.
3.- This terrorist attack that took place 3 days prior to the general elections was "solved" in less than two days, exactly the time needed for the socialist party to siege the Popular Party offices accross the country.
4.- A new analysis carried by 6 experts (from Police, Guardia Civil and 2 independent) proved that the explosive that blasted in March 11th 2004 was not Goma2-ECO nor Goma 2-EC as it was "proved" shortly after the attack.
There are many more odd and unexplained things surrounding this black chapter in recent Spanish History, I simply wanted to bring some of these obscure facts so as to put you in context.
No doubt this is a very delicate issue, and since it remains dark and, to all common sense standards, unsolved any secret service that manages relevant information about it can twist Zapatero´s wrist and put him on his knees, and chances are that Moroccan services have relevant and very "dirty" intelligence concerning this "terrorist" attack.
The socialist government has very little time left being in office, therefore Morocco must act fast to add more concessions from Spain before softy Zapatero disappears from the politic scenario.
The demonstrations in Melilla´s border to complain against the frontier police, with the Moroccan police letting then act, is just another excuse to put pressure on Zapatero.
Of course Morocco´s services know that the information they have about March 11th 2004 can be dangerous for Moroccan interests too but they also know well that what for them would be dangerous for the Spanish government would be simply devastating and that is how the game goes: Morocco pushing as they bear their March 11th "gun" and Spain slowly retreating trying to calm them.
For Moroccan services this is the kind of information that can "burn" your hands and "kill" your adversary. You don´t want to get burnt but you can run that risk whereas your adversary can´t afford to "be killed".
And what does Morocco expect from Spain for being such a friendly foe? They want several things, money included, but on top of the list we find:
1.- A pro Moroccan position with regard to Western Sahara. Spain was the colonisal metropoly in 1975 when the "Green March" from Morocco occupied Western Sahara. Franco was in his dying bed and king Juan Carlos (still prince in those days) flew there fast to tell everyone we had to pack our stuff and leave the Saharaui people to the hands of blody Hassan II. For 35 years Morocco has occupied an invaded territory that claims to be part of itself and for those same years Saharaui people have fought them with the support of Algeria who in 1975 wanted an Atlantic gate and is Morocco´s number one adversary in Northern Africa. If Spain shifts from a moderate neutral position (a coward position to my understanding) to a more pro-Moroccan one that would mean a big moral victory for them and a big punch on Spanish speaking Western Sahara freedom fighters.
2.- A less intense relation with Algeria. Self-explanatory.
3.- More concessions in terms of European Union-Morocco relations. That translates into less restrictions for Morocco to export fruit and vegetables which of course, although many Spanish companies own these Moroccan export businesses, has an impact on Spanish products distribution accross the rest of Europe. Also means to grant Morocco with best in class agreements with the EU in all the fields of commerce and investment.
4.- To occupy the two Spanish cities in Northern Africa: Ceuta and Melilla. This is a long term objective that from a Moroccan perspective cannot be achived until they count with enough military strength and the approval of the USA or whatever regional or global power that may exist by the time they believe this goal must be achived. The Perejil island incident proved that the USA backed Spain while France was more pro-Moroccan and also proved that Aznar was up to no jokes when the commandos jumped from the helicopters. Another recurrent threat that Morocco uses is that a more radical Islamic regime would be a threat to these two Spanish cities and for that reason Spain must support Mohamed´s tyranny.
During the last 40 years our policy towards Morocco can be described using the sentence that Frank Delano Roosvelt once said referring to Somoza:
"He may be a son of a bitch but he is our son of a bitch"
In the game theory applied to foreign strategic relations when you play hawk against someone who plays dove usually you will get good results while the other part chooses to go on playing in dove "mode". This is the case here; Zapatero thinks that we owe Morocco something and he is playing the appeasement role, same as he does with any dictator of this planet, thinking he does that for the sake of some stupid concept named "Civilization Allience".
What is civilization dude? To put down women and mistreat them is civilization Zapatero? To prosecute gays? To chop the hands off thieves? To forbit the preaching of another religion?
What can Spain do to revert this situation? Easy; change into hawk "mode":
1.- Support Bereber factions in Northern Morocco. Create a network of radio and television broadcasting stations in Berber (something that is forbidden in Morocco) and weaken the King´s position in this part of the Moroccan Empire (it was not part of Morocco until the Sultan became king and the Rif gained independence from Spain and the souther part of the country gained control over the Berber lands of the Kabilas)
2.- Support Western Sahara independence in the UN and all the international forums. Grant Saharaui people Spanish support and humanitarian aid and financial funds. Broadcast for the Western Sahara from Canary Islands for the sake of free information and the right of the Saharaui people to have their own mass media.
3.- Sell technology and weapons to Algeria, train their police officers and military personnel. Foster Algeria´s role in the UE-Northern Africa relations. Support Algerian territorial claims (there is a land of about 200.000 square kilometers claimed by Morocco and Algeria)
4.- Help true democratic parties and movements in Morocco allowing them to have voice and presence. Foster a real change in the Moroccan regime, proving that the Tyranny can be replaced for something different than the Islamic fundamentalism.
This last point is the most important one. Helping democracy flourish in Morocco and helping Moroccan people to prosper (without the fear of an almighty feudal regime that controls everything deciding who can get rich and sucking the wealth off the poor Moroccan citizens) would be terrific.
Only the border between North and South Korea exemplifies a bigger gap than the gap between Spain and Morocco in terms of income per capita. This wealth gap must be closed as much as possible and that can´t be done with the current rotten regime. I believe that fostering a large and influent middle class in Morocco and creating the appropriate environment of confidence and freedom is the best that can be done for the sake of Moroccans and Spaniards.

Dictator-King of Morocco Mohamed thinks we are racists too

Mohamed, the son of Hassan, has had a phone call from our king Juan Carlos, aka "my family goes first".
The reason for this call is that these last days continuous and "spontaneous" demonstrations against Spanish Police are taking place in the border between our two countries near the Spanish city of Melilla.
These demonstrators are boycotting the normal traffic of merchandises between Morocco and Spain and have caused shortage in Melilla´s markets.
The cause of these demonstrations according to rioters is that the Spanish Police is treating Moroccan subjects with disrespect and showing racist prejudices.
The Spanish Foreign Affair minister, Mr. Moratinos, has not yet made any comment on these serious events, as a matter of fact he seems not to be "available".
King Juan Carlos has had to call Mohamed the sixth to ask for some clarification and the government spokeswoman María Teresa Fernández de la Vega has said that this is not going to affect our good relations with our southern neighbours.
I find so odd and so stupid the fact that all our government cabinets have always issued these same statements when it comes to any matter concerning Morocco. For any not well informed observer that would read this official statements it would seem as if our relations with Morocco were at the level of those the USA has with neighbour Canada.
But the truth is that Morocco is not a democracy by any means, that no one decides in such Theocracy to demonstrate in front of the border insulting the Spanish Police and denigrating the female officers with irrespectful pictures if they do not count with the royal support.
The prove to what I am saying is that these demonstrations take place right before Moroccan Police and that these policemen do not do anything to prevent these people from insulting and denigrating.
Who are the racists in this play? Because this is a play that is being directed by the Moroccan King. Are the Spanish police officers in the border racist? I cannot answer that question. I can just say that I am sure some are and some are not, and that each and everyone of them will have his or her opinion about Morocco, and that maybe the constant traffic of hash and the lack of respect that many Moroccan males show to policewomen can create a bad image in some Spaniards, including police officers.
.
I can also say that slapping a female agent is probably a demonstration of hatred and lack of principles and maybe someone could call that an act of racism.
The racist argument is just an excuse for the Moroccan secret service and feudal king Mohamed to put pressure on our weak government. A government run by the mesiah of something he calls the "Civilization Allience", a man who has brought misery and poverty to Spaniards.
.
A man that while fighting hard to allow 16 year old girls to abort without parental consent or to grant the right to adopt to homosexual couples did not really care to fight our raging unemployment. Our President, José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero, a man everyone consideresd a clown among high net worth politicians after his speech during the Bilderberg Meeting in Sitges (Barcelona). He will be fighting to change our consciences and he will be, and he is and acts as, the biggest of cowards when he must face a dictator such as Mohamed or Hugo Cavez and tell them not to mess with us like former President José María Aznar did.
Mohamed knows that Spain is weaker than ever in the international arena and he plans to apply pressure to Zapatero so as to steal from us our two cities in Northern Africa: Ceuta y Melilla.
Mohamed knows a lot of things about what really happened before, during and after the March 11th 2004 terrorist attacks in Madrid.
Many of the arrested ones were Moroccans and in Morocco nothing escapes the control of the secret police. Maybe pieces of information could be leaked from Morocco.
.
Maybe that information could lead to prove that a plot orchestrated by pro-socialist elements withing the Spanish secret services and police together with some Moroccan scapegoats provided with the help of Moroccan services, that were nothing but small drug dealers and none of them belonged to Al Qaeda or even attended their Mosque on friday, were responsible of the terrorist attack.
.
That information could result devastating for Zapatero, who knows that the official theory about the march 11th attack has less solid grounds than the Moroccan plot, and he is going to go down on his knees before Mohamed or anyone that can threaten him in such way. Maybe that is the reason why king Juan Carlos has had to act as a royal foreign affairs minister.
.
Former President José María Aznar used the green beret elite forces to expel Moroccan troops from an small island of Spanish sovereignty (Isla Perejil), that was Mohamed first try and he found out that the guy with the moustache was up to no jokes...Maybe that caused 11th of March terrorist attacks in Madrid that was the direct cause of Zapatero victory three days after.
.
Mohamed and Zapatero both know that bearing such "weapon" could cause a lot of harm to both parties and Mohamed and Zapatero know that Ceuta and Melilla becoming Moroccans would cause a revolt in Spain and very likely a war against Morocco and Zapatero would have to look for shelter in Rabat.

About "cojones", Obama, Zapatero and King Juan Carlos



We talked some days ago about the fact that Fighting Bulls are allowed to keep their malehood attributes whereas beef bulls are castrated around the age of 6...months.

According to Sarah Palin Barak Obama must be a beef bull as we can see in the above video when she accuses President Obama of not having "cojones" which is the slang and macho word for testicles.

With respect to inmigration our President José Luis Rodríguez Zapatero lacks "cojones" as well, same as when it comes to defend our national interests abroad or when he should address some hard words to our neighbour dictator King Mohamed of Morocco...King Juan Carlos, who has and shares several economic interests with muslim countries dictators has the cojones required to look after his royal wealthy family and those same cojones vanish into the air when it comes to do his job and explicitly defend the unity of our country. Juan Carlos has retractable cojones, something really handy to keep his throne a bit more but a shame for all Spaniards.
