Banks own spanish main media.

Translation from the article taken from Vertex Inmediaísta: Spain: The bank owns media groups.
The extra July / August issue of the journal 'Mongolia' appears with a detailed report that shows how deep these criminal institutions are in the ownership of the spanish mean media: Prisa, Unidad Editorial, Metro, Vocento, Grupo Godo ... all Large media conglomerates have banks among its major shareholders. Here an extract of the study:

Media and journalists like to see themselves as the Fourth Estate. A powerful image that makes them in addition a basic pillar of democracy. And, perhaps, still are. But it's doubtful that the power resides inside: the crisis has accelerated the "financialization of media companies," a very visible phenomenon in Spain.

The financial sector has always had a great influence over the media by two ways: by hiring advertising-banks are often among the major advertisers-and lending. But the recent crack shoot up debts of major Spanish media companies, and now, as they can not afford it, the bank is incorporated directly into the capital.

The group Prisa case , publisher of El Pais and owner of the Cadena SER, is paradigmatic. His debt was as high as 5,000 million € and reduce it to just 3,000M€. But by the way have joined capital from the Wall Street conglomerates , clustered in the Liberty vehicle, and now with Santander Bank, HSBC and Caixabank. And as the debt will still be too bulky, the company has opened its capital to twenty other banks.

On the companies board of directors of nearly every major media sit directly CEOs from the financial sector. And the symbiosis goes in two directions: the editors of La Vanguardia and La Razón are in turn vice CaixaBank and Sabadell Bank , respectively. The Fourth Estate should no longer put up with the pressure of the financial sector: now is directly the financial sector.

PRISA GROUP
The major shareholders are Daiwa Securities, BH Stores IV BV, BNP Paribas, Bank of America, Asset Value Investors, Marlin Equities, Acquistions Berggruen Holding LTD, Deutsche Bank. Among all account for about 25% of current capital.

Furthermore, Caixabank, Banco Santander and HSBC will have a 20% stake in 2014 after swapping debt for equity.

Despite of all, Prisa debt is around 3,000 million€ and the company has invited the following financial institutions to redeem debt and join the company's capital or increase its current stake: BBVA, Banco Sabadell, Banesto, Bankia, Bankinter Banca March, Kutxabank, Banco Caixa Geral Spanish Cooperative Bank, Ibercaja, Banco Pastor, Banco Popular, ICO, Liberbank, Cajatres Bank Group, NCG Banco, Bankia, Banco Holy Spirit, Caixa Banco de Investimento, Vitybank, Crédit Agricole, Societe General, The Royal Bank of Scotland, Commerzbank, Fortis, Raiffeisen Cooperative Centrae Boerenleenkbank, Alie Street Investments, Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena, BP Bank, Bank of America, Banco Itau, Bank Audi Saradar, Natixis.

PLANETA GROUP
The mean shareholder is Jose Manuel Lara, who in turn is vice president of Banco Sabadell.

The council includes Antena3 Marco Drago, director DeA Capital Fund (the fund linked to De Agostin, shareholder of A3) and Pedro Ramon Cajal (Renta4 Bank board).

Past and Present of American Military bases in Spain



American Military bases in Spain
What happened to the American militar bases in Spain?

Spanish version at http://tarcoteca.blogspot.com.es/2011/07/pasado-y-presente-de-las-bases.html

HISTORICAL CONTEXT


United States founded NATO in 1948 with two purposes. 

- First prevent European countries, weakened after 2nd WW, fell under the political influence of the USSR. 
- The second provided militar bases for possible open confrontation with URSS, spearhead its expansion in Europe, as at present time.

The Spain-USA Defensive Agreement 26th september 1953, HA post,   signed by Alberto Martín Artajo, Generalisimo Francisco Franco Foreing Affairs Minister, and the US President Ainserhawer Ambassador Clement Dunn, is one of the three Agreements signed in the so called "Madrid Pacts". USA manage to install military bases in Spain and close the clamp on the Mediterranean sea. What happened to the American militar bases in Spain?


The agreement was show to the public by the fascist regime of General Franco as a model of mutual aid, military and economic, between "two powers". USA secret clauses reserved the unilateral initiative and use of the facilities. USA kept the space under American laws. 

USA started investing and building military bases and installations. USA held the sovereignty of the bases and, despite participating staff from both countries, were governed by U.S. law. The impact of the agreements conferred to Spain the figure of vassalage and the duty to automatically go war if U.S. did.

In 1963, with the sign of the "Joint Declaration", the bases went to Spanish sovereignty. It results in the recognition of Spain as a "strategic ally", confirmed by the construction of the NASA satellites monitoring and spying center of Robledo de Chavela, Madrid, and the construction of the first nuclear power plant, in Zorita, Guadalajara. Nevertheless those maintaining American court of jurisdiction. American plans for Spain were large, judging from the investment.

From 1973, with the advent of satellite technology, most bases and checkpoints become obsolete and was gradually transferred to the Spanish army.

In 1986, after decades of joint maneuvers, Spain joins NATO. The novelty of the covenant is that the NATO organization controls the militar bases and facilities, not America. But if the United States controls NATO it was not a substantial change. Translate, USA had no staff or facilities to mantein becouse subcontracts Spain to do instead. It was cheaper.

Everyone knows the large American military bases of NATO in Spain, as Torrejon de Ardoz, now used for civilian services as to NASA, Zaragoza Spanish airbase that supports American logistical needs and Rota and Moron as permanent NATO military bases. But what of those other facilities?




PAST U.S. Military Bases and Facilities:



Cartagena (Murcia) technical support and recreational Naval base for US ships in
operations in the Mediterranean, the VI Fleet.
In 1944, the United States donated a forty-bed Operative Hospital that worked at the San Pedro Claver Bastion in Cartagena, which was then called the Naval War Hospital, where it worked until March 1,1980 without undergoing any modification. CIVIL AND MILITARY USE.

The Cartagena military shipyards is oriented towards special ships construction, such as submarines and mine-hunter. NAVANTIA also sets in this area an factory specialized in production, sale and maintenance of diesel engines for different applications: ships, tanks, electric power plants, cogeneration plants and railway traction.
MILITARY USE.

Elizondo, Navarra, Base of Alert and Control of Air Force.
<< Huge "forests" of antennas, control towers, bunkers, staircases, buildings of 15 floors high ... Everything emerged as if from nowhere in 1954 at the summit of Mount Gorramendi, in Elizondo (Navarra). That American base, called 877 Squadron Warning Control W-6, was for 20 years the epicenter of the mystery until in 1974 everything disappeared after the installations were fulminately dynamited. The Franco regime was never transparent about the activities carried out there, but it was suspected that it was a secret communications base prepared for any nuclear eventuality >>. Base americana en Navarra - ForoCoches 2.8.2009 Right now demolished and in ruins.

Estaca de Bares, naval Base, Galicia.
This base was inaugurated in 1962 to operate a LORAN (LOng Range Aid to Navigation) system, a long-range electronic radio navigation system, developed during World War II in support of Allied aviation, and remained operational for three decades, with two identical links located in France and Wales. The United States Coast Guard directed the base until 1977, when it was transferred to the North American Air Force. The base worked as a communications radiostation until 1991. As soon as the last american military personnel left the facility (there were about 20), the raid began. Planned its demolition for 2007 at present, these facilities was demolished. Since its inauguration it was a source of all kinds of myths and legends, and it was said that nuclear submarines were located there. On sale in 2013.

The transmitter is controlled from the Military base of Rota. After the first Gulf War the US Army stop using these facilities whose ownership was transferred to the Spanish Navy, which called the base "Campamento Santa Ana". Its main objective is to control the maritime traffic in the Mediterranean, especially that for submarine fleet, since they have their main base very close, in Cartagena Port. Today is located a few meters far from homes and malls.

There were other centers more camouflaged and of greater strategic interest, distributed throughout Europe.
DEBRIS

Menorca, Mahon. Naval base of submarines.
In 1825 the Americans managed to fix, in a stable manner, the Mahon naval base, the first base overseas they created outside their borders. Although part of the facilities has been granted for civilian use, its military use is maintained.

CIVIL USE.



Present: American Bases / NATO in 2016:


Rota, Cadiz- Base of missiles and Military Base of NATO / USA
"Rota can be the anchor of the route through the central Atlantic. We propose that their status be elevated to Tier I because, among other reasons, we foresee an increase in mobility operations destined for Africa ", recommends the Pentagon.

The United States has been investing since 2002 in renewing and expanding the base of Rota guided by the recommendations of the Pentagon, which in its document 'Global in route strategy' calls for raising the category of the Spanish base.

The base of Rota is located in a crucial strategic enclave for the interests of defense of the United States, since it forms one of the vertexes of the triangle of strategic security next to the nodes of Asia Pacific (Hickam, Pearl Harbor, Hawaii) and North Arctic (Ramstein, Germany).

CONCLUSIONS:


In 1953 the regime capitulated to Ameicans. Since long, movements of rapprochement between both regimes was expressed. The Spanish State Bankruptcy accelerate the process. Access to the installation of foreign forces in return for economic aid. Besides start settling foreign heavy industry through low cost of labor.

In 1963 U.S. install nuclear power plant in Spain, its strategic value is incalculable. Technology and operators were Americans.

In 1968 Spain joined the treaty of non-proliferation. This does not prevent Americans keep on with its own nuclear policy at will, using the installed bases at its own. Nor off Spanish claims to be able to build a nuclear bomb.

Inoges, Soller, Estaca de Bares, Menorca, are fulcrums of general telecommunications network at service of Hunosa base.

The radar systems and antennas was part of a network of flight tracking for a possible nuclear war with URSS. In this war, each country was a puzzle piece and like it or not they have a specific place on the global map. USA had a special interest in Spain by its position in the Mediterranean: shutoff valve and first transatlantic scale.

At the end of the 70s American military bases in Spain have no longer interest in the outdated radar technology. 2 airports are now in civilian use. 2 LORAN tracing bases demolished, 2 aerial surveillance bases, Elizondo and the crumbling Sierr of Aitana also demolished. All other operating bases. The two shipyards were converted part of their business and private enterprise, which also shows the interest of this militarily.

It is remarkable the importance for the American military position development in the Mediterranean the  Balearic Islands. It is not possible to determine whether base has or has not American personnel.

NATO reconverts military sector. Got rid of the bases of less value, and increased the most importants. Americans, thanks to the treaty firm in 1953, which provide 25% of the Spanish budget, served to get control of his allies by the economy. In addition served to control his enemies by his strategic positioning. Finally the countries where invested in facilities and equipment meet part of their wars, as in Iraq, Afghanistan, Somalia and Libya.

Spain has signed contracts for the sale of military equipment to countries from which supposedly have to defend, Venezuela for example. It is a question of money and represion, no of security.

The army, far from disappearing strengthens. With each tecnologial  improvement increases their ability to control. In recent times it has transferred some of his power to Policial Services, which have been militarized in equipment and tactics.

Huge amounts of money are spend every year supporting this parasits that use the money in their own profit. As they have the atribution of violence enay tentative to stop the daing will be stop with blood.
The military pantomime is play in this global world as a any other speculative business. Instead of CEO a General, instead of employee soldier. Their work: spend and earn money. Their tools are the arms. But the raw material is human meat.

We must said no to the army, no to the thievery and assesination. As our voice is not heard, weselves have to impose the sanity. No doubt that now the war is on the minds and streets.

Chiamata internazionale ad occupare la piazza in Support a i compagni spagnoli: "Circonda il Congresso 29-S".

  La repressione a tutti i livelli, politico, economico e sociale, fanno che l'unica possibilità di cambiamento è, come nei paesi arabi, uscire in piazza e stare in piedi.
   Meccanismi di Solildaridad sono già state attivate e si prevede che il popoli della Italia, Grecia e Portogallo se stanno organizzando in primo luogo per dare una risposta comune lo stesso giorno. Solidarietà già sentita con lo sciopero generale nel Paese Basco e in Grecia il giorno dopo la chiamata, 26-S.

Questa é una chiamata a gli compagni Italiani e di tutto il mondo: solo uscire a la strada il 29-S e occuparla.

Adesso noi vivviamo lo peiore di una agressione di classe, contra i cittadini, non contra gli spagnoli. È una minaccia globale, totale da dove non c'è uscita senza opposizione attiva.
  Grazie, compagni, non siamo soli in questa miseria.
  Questa chiamata si avvicina quella che potrebbe essere definita una chiamata unitaria. Solidarietá!
Tutti e tutto questo 29S sabato support "Congresso 2012 Quando la vita è un lusso, Squatting è un diritto."
E 'il momento di toglierci le maschere e chiamarci per i nostri veri nomi. Loro chiamano comunisti, anarchici, squatters, antisistema, antiquesto, antiquello, ... insulto in pianta; e noi gli chiamamo fascisti, ladri, traditori, ragpinatori, assesini, farabutti ... anche come un insulto. 
Ci chiamano Squatters, occupatory 
Come avvere il coraggio di chiamarci Squatters vutandoci fuore delle nostre case, per apropiersene di loro, e di ancora dover farci pagare i debiti? con milioni di case svuotate sono diventati milionari, mentre gli occupanti, che hanno protestato per le strade, viviamo a casa dei parenti. Ed è per questo che ci chiamano squatters, per l'impianto di noi nella casa dei genitori, perché le casse sono ancora vuote e la gente è per strada.
Beh! in realtà non è stato offeso di chiamarmi squatter, ho occupato ogni volta che avevo bisogno, ora non ho. Ma se mi vedo in strada a causa di questi ladri e trasgressori che prendono le nostre case occuparebbe di nuovo. 
Ci chiamano AntiSistema 
Siamo spiacenti, noi non siamo stato chi si hanno caricato il sistema, sono stati fascisti, ladri, traditori, represori, farabutti ... chi hanno rubbinato il suo sistema, e pretendono di installarne un altro in cui loro possono essere proprietari del accesso al lavoro e decidere chi guadagna chi non, chi mangia e chi non ... per togliere la nostra dignità, per farci lottare con cui abbiamo di fronte e farci uccidere per un lavoro e un salario miserabile. Con la vendita di cibo ben al di sopra il suo prezzo reale e in cattive condizioni, farci ammalare e consumare droga dei suoi laboratori, a giocare con la nostra salute. Noi siamo cavie nelle vostre mani, l'istruzione a i nostri figli fa vergogna, con un livello di terzo mundo, tutto fa deviare dal suo obiettivo educativo da i libri di testo fino a gli insegnanti.
Libri pesanti, costosi e con messagi nascosti; educarli per diventare piccoli schiavi, coloro che il Mr. President apprezza per non scendere in piazza a manifestare, e di stare a casa leccando le ferite, parenti piangent, e che ancora lo credono quando dice che ci farà uscire dalla crisi.
Cazzo, per caso siamo stronzi! o forse siamo raggiunto un punto di sottomisione che non vediamo che il Presidente e un poco deficiente, oltre che brutto e cattivo, mentendo spudoratamente, e che i suoi consiglieri, i ministri e gli altri consulenti, segretari, amministratori delegati e generali sono a vivere a nostre spese.
Chi chiamano Terroristi
I terroristi sono coloro che instillano il terrore, e il terrore era quello che abbiamo sentito il 25S in Piazza Nettuno quelli che abbiamo chiesto colle nostri mani vuote la dimissione dei politici che non ci rappresentano. Nel frattempo, le forze represore, avvolto con scudi e bastoni, [policiotti in borgesse] provocavano a i suoi propri compagni uniformati por farli chiappare alla gente, lanciando petardi e causando una strage che era niente di ciò che potrebbe accadere, se si può chiamare qualcosa a 65 feriti e 36 arrestati.
Sono terroristi chi terrorizzano una città che ha tutto: socialisti, comunisti, ecologisti, anarchici, femministe, naturalmente, i Democratici. Terrorizzati qualcuni e encazzati fino al limite altri.
allegazione finale
La gente con o senza paura debe uscire in piazza, se non è capace di stare in prima fila puo entrare nella ultima, ma tutti in strade per fare vedere che sono loro gli antidemocratici, per farle videre che non gli abbiamo "permesso" occupare il posto per derubarci e addirittura picchiarci, che stiamo rechiedendo ciò che loro stessi abbianno offerto in un programma elettorale con cui ci hanno ingannato ... e che, come noi gli abbiamo fato ascendere gli possiamo fare uscendere.
Questa è l'unica forza che la gente ha in questo momento, e dobbiamo esercitarla.
Tutti support "Circonda il Congresso" il Sabato 29-S, socialisti, comunisti, anarchici, femministe, ecologisti, pensionati e altri -isti lì, indignati, incazzati, squatters, migranti, casalinghe, studenti in breve, le persone in generale, tutti in Piazza.
