The world has been keeping its eyes on what has been happening in Spain over the last few months...It has been bad enough that the Spanish economy has basically imploded and the entire nation is quickly becoming like Greece where it has a tremendous amount of odious debt owing to the criminal Jewish bankers, but we also have the region of Catalonia wanting to break away from the Spanish republic and declare itself as a sovereign state.... Well, at the beginning of this month, the Catalonian regional government ran a referendum to see if the people would either decide to stay with Spain or declare themselves as a sovereign nation... And the results were overwhelmingly in favour of Catalonian independence and to break away from Spain entirely... AND after that vote, the Spanish government in Madrid first declared the results null and void and then threatened to clamp down on the Catalonian government officials and the Catalonian people and even send in the military to prevent the region from breaking away... Things were definitely beginning to heat up, and the threat of a full blown civil war was on the horizon..... Well, today the autonomous region of Catalonia in northeastern Spain formerly has declared its independence from Spain in spite of the burgeoning threats by the Madrid government to impose a state of "martial law" on the autonomous region and turn it into a police state... To fill everyone in on the details of this formal declaration, I want to present the following link to an article from Russia Today that covers today's action in great detail:https://www.rt.com/news/407956-catalan-parliament-votes-independence/I honestly do NOT like what I am seeing happen in Spain with the Catalonians now declaring their independence... As I have stated before, the Spanish nation is already in dire straits economically with a debt load that can never be paid back... And now we have the region of Catalonia, with its great manufacturing industry that the Spanish economy is dependent upon, now officially declaring its independence from the Spanish republic... Things could get very messy and very quickly indeed...My fellow Canadian truth seeker, Greencrow, put out an article last week that called the situation in Catalonia very "complicated"... And she claims in the article that we may be watching another "Maidan" like what happened in Ukraine starting to unfold in Spain... Here is the link to that article here for everyone to read for themselves:http://greencrowasthecrowflies.blogspot.ca/2017/10/the-catalan-independence-crisisreal.htmlOK, calling this situation "complicated" is putting it mildly... For I do not like what the Madrid government is considering doing to force the Catalonian people to stay with Spain, even if it means a brutal crackdown on the region!I do have a hard time though with Greencrow's claim that there was an "insurgency" in Catalonia for this push for Independence.. The Catalonian people do have a very proud history, and seeing their attainment of more self government in the region was indeed just one step before actually declaring full independence.... However, I will give her full credit for she has shown in the article some interesting aspects that does make someone stop and say ... "Hmmmmm".....The bottom line is this... We may indeed be witnessing a full blown civil war unfolding in Spain very shortly.... And with that there will indeed be bloodshed and the chance that the state of Catalonia will be subjected to the full force of the Spanish military and potentially be left in ruin..... And yes, as I have said already in some of my previous weekend rants, better negotiations between Madrid and Barcelona would be much better than a civil war where nobody wins...More to comeNTS
