Re: OT OT OT Wrong... Any piece of news pertaining to the Madrid mass bombing is OT! (I mean ON Topic) Look up at the thread's header, Ray: it's about 911, isn't it? Now, the 911 (official) spinmeisters are scrambling to spin 311 (Madrid) as an Al-Qaeda terrorist attack... Well, that's actually a slippery proposition. I mean, American PR quacks had better think twice before packaging the Madrid carnage as the exact European replica of 911.... For if the Al-Qaeda/OBL connection gets debunked, it's gonna blow back upon the 911 official story as well... Again, this is Spain, Europe, not the US protofascist state: loose ends in the official coverup WILL crop up --and the US media watchdogs won't be able to do anything about it.... Clue: ETA today ETA has focused its activities on the Spanish side of the border. For many years France provided a safe haven for ETA members, a situation that began to change in the mid-1980s. The organisation finances its campaign through kidnapping, bank robbery and a so-called "revolutionary tax" on Basque businesses -- a payment that is widely regarded as plain extortion. No one knows how many businesses make these payments. According to the counter-terrorism office of the U.S. State Department, ETA members have received training in Libya, Lebanon and Nicaragua, while the group also enjoys close links with the Irish Republican Army (the Good Friday peace accord influenced ETA to call its cease-fire in 1998). Active support for ETA is limited, and although no accurate figures are available, its membership is not thought to number more than a few hundred. It is believed to operate in small commando cells of about five people each. The party that many believe to be its political wing, Herri Batasuna (founded in 1978), rarely scores higher than 20 percent in local elections, considerably less than the more moderate Basque Nationalist Party (PNV).
