"Spanish Beach Stormed As Ceuta Chaos Spreads "| ZeroHedge

https://www.zerohedge.com/geopolitical/spanish-beach-stormed-ceuta-chaos-spreads 

"
Local officials did not hide their anger. Cartagena mayor Noelia Arroyo stated: "This cannot be normalised. We cannot accept that human trafficking mafias have such an easy time reaching our shores."

"If a migrant boat can reach a cove like this, disembark in full view of citizens and then leave, we have to ask ourselves how the control of our maritime borders is working," Arroyo further urged..."

I was blessed to be in Costa Rica in '91 for a total eclipse 'Like the end of the world': eclipse chasers flocking to Spain'

>


https://travel.yahoo.com/news/articles/end-world-eclipse-chasers-flocking-022537178.html 

That was an amazing event in Costa Rica. I was at the tourist camp where I was teaching school and helping guide tourists once in awhile as well in the virgin rainforest area of corcovado which is famous for those in the know- and the solar eclipse came - in the middle of the day everything became very dark like night -we could even see fireflies- it was an amazing moment !. And now another one's coming up - they will be able to see it pretty good in Spain .

Have you ever seen a total solar eclipse ? 

AI GENERATED:

Spain is not the only location where the total solar eclipse will be visible. While Spain is one of the most popular viewing destinations due to favorable weather and easy access, the path of totality—where the Moon completely blocks the Sun—stretches across several regions:
 * Greenland: The shadow passes across eastern and central Greenland in the late afternoon.
 * Iceland: Totality crosses western and southern Iceland (including Reykjavík and the Westfjords), with the point of maximum duration occurring just off Iceland's western coast.
 * Northern Russia: The path begins in a remote area of northern Siberia.
 * Portugal: A tiny section in extreme northwestern Portugal near the Spanish border will experience brief totality right before sunset.
 * Spain: The eclipse covers northern and central Spain before finishing over the Balearic Islands in the Mediterranean Sea.
Beyond totality, a partial solar eclipse will be visible across a vast area, including:
 * Most of Europe (UK, France, Germany, Italy, Scandinavia)
 * Northwestern Africa
 * Eastern Canada, northern Canada, and parts of Alaska and the northern contiguous United States
Are you planning a trip to view the eclipse in person, or looking for local observation times?

Not only did European support not materialize, Madrid actually tried to hinder U.S. operations. Spain’s Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez publicly refused to allow the United States to use jointly operated military bases on Spanish territory for strikes on Iran, calling the attacks an “unjustified and dangerous military intervention.”

"The brutal derailment and collision of two high-speed trains in the municipality of Adamuz, Córdoba province, has caused at least 40 deaths and over 150 injuries, becoming one of the deadliest railway accidents in Spain in decades.

What happened cannot be dismissed as a "strange accident," as Transport Minister Óscar Puente has attempted to present it, but rather as the result of negligent management detached from the technical reality of the railway system.."

''Chavismo and Hispanophobic Hatred as a Political Weapon " | Gateway Hispanic |

https://gatewayhispanic.com/2024/09/chavismo-and-hispanophobic-hatred-as-a-political-weapon/ 

"And in the Hispanic world we went in the opposite direction, dividing territories that were united, leaving European Spain isolated in the far west and a divided and indebted Hispanic American continent for the benefit of powers that were lurking like vultures.

And Spain is now just another piece in the ideological machinery of the Sao Paulo Forum, one of the most brutal forms of ideological imperialism; fomenting separatism in Spain and indigenism in America, movements that do not cease to share a relationship based on hatred, but hatred of themselves, in the end; which causes a real social schizophrenia on both sides of the Atlantic...,"
