    Catalonia Independence

    I have family vacationing in Barcelona, and they are reporting explosions. Confirmed they are not fireworks, one person there is EX-Navy. Don’t see much in the press about anything substantive???
    The Second Amendment ACKNOWLEDGES our right to own and bear arms that are in common use that can be used for lawful purposes. The arms can be restricted ONLY if subject to historical analogue from the founding era or is dangerous (unsafe) AND unusual.

    It's that simple.

    I am betting they wish they had a stockpile of rifles. This is going to turn ugly in no time if the Spanish Supreme Court tells them to pound sand with the idea of Independence and Catalina says no.

    In the big picture, since Yugoslavia disintegrated, how do you keep the EU together when the individual countries can't stay together???

    That and I'm starting to wonder how much the Russians are antagonizing things like this. Not saying that they are causing it, just that we know that they are pretty good at taking base movements and trying to catalyze them. A fractured EU and NATO is definitely in their interests.

    Spain has been in trouble for a couple of decades.
    I visited often in the 80's and 90's and it was a Socialist Utopia at the time, but they were heading for trouble the last time I was there.
    Everybody can't retire at 50 and expect to be taken care of until they expire, but that seemed to be the norm unless you were wealthy and or ran your own business.
    I actually planned on retiring in Fofe Pont Vierda, I'm glad I didn't.

    Direct control. Somewhere in the article it said hostile takeover of Catalina finance, police, and public news organizations. Money, legal arm of government, and the message. That's the basic trifecta right?

    So far there NO news report on any explosions. There are several articles regarding the Catalans declaring their independence.


    Riots are like sports, it's better to watch it on TV at home.

    Screw Spain!

    They back a Palestinian state on my land.

    They are ready to go to war to keep Catalonia.

    Hypocrites

    Trying to get confirmation and see if they heard anything else. I still think it was probably celebratory fireworks. Like I said, relative there is ex career Navy, but not the BOOM part.

    I expect this to be a domino effect given everyone's frustration with Europe
