| New hints at possible socialist involvement in the 3/11 bombings (in Spanish) |
| 2005-03-22 |
| Last week we learned that a relatively high rank socialist was friend (he paid for his dental care) with an islamist in contact with the bombers. And that he owned a mining company (hint: mining involves explosives) Now it appears that this guy was member of the secret services since 1992 ie when the socialist government was involved in targetted assassinations against ETA. You can also have a general review of the Spanish press http://libertaddigital.com/opiniones/opi_desa_23916.html |

| #3 No it isn't moonbattery, howver governement controls both the state TV and the PRISA press/radio/TV group. Here is the state of the troubling facts: 1) A medium-high rank socialist who is friend with a perticularly blood-thirsty islamist (he impressed the ETA people with his determination to kill as many as possible) 2) That islamist has frequent contacts with the leader of the bombing group 3) In the afternoon of the bombings a high rnak socialist (he is or has been minister) goes to Toledo (at over 60 miles from Madrid) in order to visit the former director of the Guardia Civil in his cell since he is serving a sentence for corruption and involvement in the "dirty war" (assassinations) against ETA. So in the second to last day of the electoral campaign (when all socialist big whigs were supposed to be on high alert) and in those very peculair circumstances this guy leaves Madrid for several hours just to pay a visit to this very special friend involved in dirty jobs. 4) Just after the explosions an expert in explosives arrive on the place. He smells of Goma-2 (an explosive ETA no longer uses) , then he phones to his superiors and tells: "Titadyne" (an explossive ETA is using because it stole eight tons of it). I have been told the two smells are too different to be confounded. And while I can think the expert could have decided,to misguide the government (the accusation of having lied in the investigation had major role in its fall) I find his quickness of mind realy disturbing. 5) The first clue pointing to the islamists was a white van with islamic casstees and explosives. But that white van had alreay been searched by the municpal police and nothing had been found. The cassettes and explosives were not particularly hidden (under the driver's seat) 6) During all the investigation the PRISA press group received information well before the governemnt thus making it look like being caught lying. The policemen leading the investigation were a bunch close to the Socialist Party and who had had minor involvement in the dirty wart. Of course nothing of this is a proof. We could think in consciparcy theories and black helicopters even if the source is not some gooffy but "El Mundo" an important paper who is not particuilarly partisan. But it looks like every month ot two there is a new troubling coincidence. |

| #2 AzCat - Good point on the moonbattery, this is definately something that deserves some serious wait time and proof, but if true, holy cow, what a freakish mess Spain is about to go through. |
