💭 LETESENBET GIDEY PULVERIZA EL RECORD MUNDIAL DE MEDIA MARATÓN. RESUMEN MEDIA MARATÓN DE VALENCIA 2021
💭 Ethiopia’s Gidey smashes women’s half-marathon world record
Letesenbet Gidey pulverised the women’s half-marathon world record Sunday, slicing more than a minute off the previous mark when she won in Valencia.
Running in bright sunshine, it was the first half-marathon the 23-year-old Ethiopian had raced in and she added the record to her 5000m and 10,000m world records.
Gidey timed 1hr 02min 52sec to better the previous time of 1hr 04min 02sec set by Ruth Chepngetich of Kenya in April 2021.
Valencia was also the scene of Gidey’s 5000m record in October 2020.
“Gracias Valencia,” Gidey said at the finish line. “I’m so happy,” she said, holding a sign saying “First woman in history under 63 minutes”.
She ran the first 10km in 29min 45sec and then got even faster over the final section of the race.

Among the most powerful kingdoms in the medieval period was Solomonic Ethiopia, a Christian kingdom that sought out contact with Western Europe in the Late Middle Ages. The BBC speaks with Verena Krebs about contact between Solomonic Ethiopia and Western Europe, how historians have misconstrued Ethiopian interests in the past, and what we can learn when we dig into primary sources.
Verena Krebs is Professor for Medieval Cultural Realms and their Entanglements at the Ruhr University Bochum in Germany. Her new book, Medieval Ethiopian Kingship, Craft, and Diplomacy with Latin Europe, is published by Palgrave Macmillan.

The Catalan Dream
As in almost other parts of the world the loudest activists and demostrators that we witnessed in Catalonia are violent people, not peaceful demonstrators. Their tactics and behavior are not different from the Nazi Gestapo, the Russian NKVD, or the Chinese Red Guards.
Thirty years ago these same people were just kids, or teenagers. In the school, they would bully those who did not speak in Catalan in the playground; those who did not like Barça; those who had better marks than them in Catalan language and yet did not support independence. Once in the university, these same people would insult you, attack you with bats, use wood planks to close the access to your students’ union office, disturb classes throwing desks to the students and threatening teachers who did not support independence, or kicking people out of events you organized that did not support their views.
Supporters of independence are not different from Chinese people brainwashed by nationalism. They also believe in their own Catalan Dream, and dream of their own Greater Catalonia formed by regions that never belonged to them. But just like China, those in the government who have brainwashed the people do not want independence: they just want to keep sucking the money of those useful idiots who, year after year, believe in the promises of an upcoming independence. Independence will never come, for it would mean the end of Catalonia’s political elite.
How amazing! The same diabolic thing happening with separatists movements in Ethiopia, the Ukraine, ex-Yugoslavia and some other Christian countries. Is the angry anti-Christ attempting to punish the Spanish people who in the past fought to rid the Iberian Peninsula of Muslim Moors – in the same way it’s punishing Ethiopia for being as a bulwark of Christianity against a Muslim tide? I think there is some connection there!
After Declaring Catalonian Independence From Spain, Carles Puigdemont Flees To Belgium And Is Now Being Protected By Major Nazi Elites
Carles Puigdemont, the president of Catalonia who declared Catalan independence from Spain, has now fled to Brussels and is under the protection of Flemish nationalists who, in reality, are just nazis who want to separate Flanders from Belgium. Puigdemont fled to Belgium, according to reports, to flee Spanish authority which has charged him with sedition.
Spanish reports state that Carles Puigdemont is in Brussels surrounded by loyal members of his party. One of them is Antoni Comín, a homosexual and a socialist who is vehemently anti-Catholic. So full of hatred is Comin against the Church, that he once said:
“We have to be very indignant with what the Catholic Church does with homosexuality (…) the homophobia practiced by the Church today is a grave sin before God”
Talking like a sodomite Protestant, Comin said that, “as believers we must be courageously critical of what the Church is doing today with homosexuality.” What we are witnessing are the sons of Sodom working to bring the world into chaos and bloodshed. For by trying to break Catalonia from Spain, these insidious people are legitimizing the separatist movements of other European regions, and such fragmentation is a reflection of the rise of nationalism, and when you have nationalism, you have war.
Belgium’s Secretary of State for Asylum and Migration, Theo Francken, a Flemish separatist, defended protecting the Catalan separatists leaders, saying:
“Catalan people who feel politically threatened can ask for asylum in Belgium. That includes President Puigdemont. This is 100 percent legal”
Francken is part of the New Flemish Alliance, a rightwing Flemish separatist party that wants to separate Flanders from Belgium. By protecting Carles Puigdemont, the Flemish are giving credence to his separatist cause, and ultimately, to the agenda of fragmenting Europe. There is a sinister desire behind all of this: and that is to revive Nazism; for by fragmenting Europe, you bring back past European rivalries and spark nationalism, which will of course breed all sorts of evils, such as racism and eugenics.
That the political establishment in Brussels is protecting Puigdemont, reveals the reality that there are forces within the EU who want to cause just enough fragmentation and instability to end the status quo and justify militarism.
Its very simple: fragment the established order, and you have chaos, and chaos can only breed more chaos, and this will only lead to violence. This will only help the Germans. Germany is the wealthiest nation in Europe; if fragmentation intensifies and chaos commences, Germany will use such an situation to justify its own militarism in the name of restoring order. I suspect that there are not a few elites in Brussels who want to see a revival in German militarism. The Flemish separatists in Brussels dominate Belgium politics, which means that they have some serious political leverage in that government.
Many of these Flemish separatists in Brussels are Nazi sympathizers, as we showed in our article on the Catalonian secessionist movement. In 2014, Francken went to the birthday party of Bob Maes, who was a member of the National Socialist Youth Flanders during the reign of the Third Reich, and the founder of the neo-Nazi terrorist organization, Vlaamse Militanten Orde. The current Deputy prime minister and minister of Security and Home Affairs in Belgium, Jon Jambon, a leading member of the New Flemish Alliance, wily expressed his sympathy for Flemish Nazi collaborators by saying: “The people who collaborated with the Germans had their reasons. Me, I was not alive during that time.”
Now some of the Flemish are saying that protecting Carles Puigdemont had nothing to do with their separatist party, the New Flemish Alliance. A spokesperson for the New Flemish Alliance, Joachim Pohlmann, saidthat “in case Mr. Puigdemont is in Brussels, he’s certainly not here at the invitation of the N-VA.” Olivier Van Raemdonck, the spokesperson for Jan Jambon, the interior minister and deputy prime minister of Brussels, said that Jambon was not aware that Puigdemont was coming to Brussels, and said:
“Everyone knows Jan Jambon and the N-VA [New Flemish Alliance] are sympathetic towards the Catalans. But that’s something completely different than sitting down with the man as a member of the federal government”
This is all duplicitous talk. They are playing the same game that all deceivers in politics and media use: acknowledge that you were with said person, but at the same time say that the meeting was not done in the capacity of your position. These Flemish rebels are essentially saying: ‘Yes, we are protecting Puigdemont, but not as part of our political party.’
It means nothing, for the action is still done, and the sinister principle for which the action was done still remains. The Flemish separatists are protecting their fellow separatist. Catalonian separatism has been being, to a great extent, planned out by Flemish agents. As we showed in our article on Catalonia, on January of 2017 there was a major meeting in Brussels to conspire for the cause of Catalan sedition. Around forty members of the European parliament and their aids were present, including the eugenist Helga Stevens, a member of the New Flemish Alliance.
That there was a meeting in the EU parliament to plan for severing Catalonia from Spain, shows that there are very powerful people, within the European Union, who want to fragment Europe. Its all a plan for power; for by breaking down the unity of Europe, what you would be left with is a significant disunity, which will only lead to the strongest nation of Europe, the Germans, using the situation as an occasion for war and militarism. It would not surprise me at all, if the Flemish are conspiring to cause a civil war in Spain to give the opportunity for Germany to militarily invade Spain in the name of intervention and “stability” (similarly to what Turkey is currently doing in Iraq).
The Flemish are acting stupid and pretending that they did not know that Puigdemont was in Brussels. This is impossible. For one, on the 28th of October, when Catalonia declared independence from Spain, there were already reports in Spain that Puigdemont was planning on escaping to Belgium. Spain already knew that Puigdemont was heading towards Belgium. Puigdemont fled to Belgium just a day after Theo Francken said that he can seek refuge in Brussels, which means that the Brussels government knew of an agenda to protect Catalonian separatist leaders. If Brussels knows when terrorists are going through its orders, then they would definitely know when the leader of the Catalonian secessionist movement, Carles Puigdemont, is going through its borders.
Carles Puigdemont and his group drove from Barcelona to Marseille, in France, where they took a plane to Brussels. The French, then, must have known that Puigdemont was in their country and traveling to Brussels. France is an interesting connection. Puigdemont already held a meeting with Jean-Christophe Lagarde, a member of the National Assembly of France and the second president of the Union of Democrats and Independents. Just a few days before declaring independence, Puigdemont also met with Valérie Pécresse, president of the Ile-de-France region, to sign a “cooperation agreement,” as one government report states:
“the Head of the Catalan Government will meet with president of the Regional Council of Île-de-France, Valérie Pécresse, before signing the cooperation agreement that aims to strengthen the political, economic and institutional ties between the two territories. Specifically, the agreement will cover five areas of priority for both institutions, including: biomedical innovation and the pharmaceutical industry, education, urban waste management, the videogames industry and research.”
This is very interesting. Catalonia is the center for pharmaceutical sciences in Spain, and the home of all of the most major pharmaceutical companies in Spain. As we read in one report:
“Within the context of Spain, Catalonia concentrated 47.07% of Spanish pharmaceutical production (2014) and 36.6% of Spanish pharmaceutical exports (2006-2016). Catalonia, as the leading and birthplace region of pharmaceuticals in Spain, is home to the five biggest Spanish pharmaceutical companies: Almirall, Esteve, Ferrer, Grífols and Uriach. … Furthermore many international companies have established here, such as Novartis, Sanofi, Boehringer-Ingelheim, Bayer, Roche, Menarini, Pierre Fabre, BBraun, GE Healthcare, Zoetis, Otsuka, Invent Farma, Intas Pharmaceuticals, AstraZeneca, Synthon or Angelini, to mention just a few. … Catalonia is the leading biotech region in Spain, holding 19.4% of Spanish biotech companies. Amgen, Inkemia, AB-Biotics, Biokit, Salvat, Reig Jofre, Oryzon,Advancell, Gendiag, Readycell, Bionure, Alexion, GP Pharm, Endor or Lipotec are part of the biotech industry in Catalonia.”
Since France made an agreement with Catalonia over pharmaceuticals, and Catalonia is a major biotech center, and the pharmaceutical industry is a major player behind eugenics, and France helped Carles Puigdemont escape to Brussels, is it possible that Catalonian unrest is part of a conspiracy to destabilize Europe devised by biotech companies to then enable Germany to rise again and execute a eugenist plan, which would then allow the pharmaceutical industry to carry out evil experiments? Knowing the history that Germany has with pharmaceutical companies (such as IG Farben) to carry out human experiments for the cause of eugenics, this would not be far fetched to imagine. We will work on another article on this subject.
In the Brussels EU parliament on January of 2017, EU parliamentarians, including Flemish separatist Helga Stevens and Calvinist Hungarian separatist Laszlo Tokes, planned for a Catalonian secessionist revolt. Ten years before this, In the Brussel parliament, in 2007, a Flemish separatist named Filip DeWinter, led the Counterjihad Summit, making the Counterjihad into an official movement. Invited to the meeting were numerous Counterjihad figures, such as Robert Spencer, and Pamela Geller who, just a few days ago, said that it was a mistake for Germany to renounce German nationalism (even though German nationalism fueled German imperialism in World War One and World War Two). Geller explicitly is in support for German nationalism, as the Jezebel herself said:
“I believe all the wrong lessons were learned after World War Two. I think Europe learned all the wrong lessons. They came away from World War Two with the idea that nationalism was bad; that German nationalism, British nationalism, French nationalism, was bad.”
To this sagging and decrepit witch, German nationalism is good, even though it was German nationalism that slaughtered Jewish people and that did the largest anti-Jewish genocide in history. This is because people like Geller are “of the synagogue of Satan, who say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie.” (Revelation 3:9) And Geller’s little sycophant, Robert Spencer, is another scammer who devises evil for gain, hence why he promotes homosexual literature.
The breakdown of Europe is part of a conspiracy to enable Germany to return back to militarism and nationalism. If the EU breaks down, the most powerful nation in Europe, Germany, will take the opportunity to revive German militarism in the name of ‘stability.’ As long as Germany remains possessed by the spirit of Luther, it will always go to the warpath. In World War One, Lutheran German nationalism fueled Germanic imperialism.
Protestantism is so rooted in the political essence of Germany, that till this day Luther is used for populist movements. For example, the rising Alternative for Germany party (AfD) presents posters with Luther’s portrait adjacent to his infamous words: Here I stand, I cannot do otherwise (Hier steje ich und kann nicht anders), alongside the slogan: “Courage to Truth” (Mut zur Wahrheit):
And yet Geller loves the AfD, the German nationalists. In the heart of Germany’s vision of supremacy, one will find Luther’s name engrained. Adolf Deissman, who was amongst Germany’s leading Protestant theologians during the First World War, unequivocally placed Luther as an inseparable pillar holding up German militarism. In 1914, Deissman wrote down the points of ideology which German Protestants had to follow. It was entitled: “The War and Religion” and in it he proclaimed the diabolical equation of Christianity with German supremacy. He wrote:
“The war has steeled our religion … We Germans can’t believe in anything else but a German God.”
Deissman also said:
“Our present religion is natural and German, and we preach a German God! A German, a national God!”
In Deissman, do we find the Darwinist sentiment of “might makes right,” for he said:
“I am proud to preach the religion of might and what our enemies call barbarism.”
As we see this type of rhetoric increase, so will the nearness of Wisdom 2 which quotes the wicked as saying: “let our strength be the law of justice: for that which is feeble, is found to be nothing worth.” (Wisdom 2:11)
The words of Deissman were being said before World War Two and before Nazism. This means that German imperialism is rooted not in Nazism, but in something deeper, and that is the anti-Christian spirit. Nazism was simply a symptom to a deeper disease, and that is the spirit of Antichrist.
Nazism is coming back, and it is the separatists, the nationalists, the eugenists, NATO and the CIA, and Counterjihad agents, who are making this happen.
If it was all really for “Flemish independence,” then why are all of these Flemish separatists conspiring to help Catalonian separatists and Northern Italian separatists? Because it is not just about Catalonia or Northern Italy, or Belgium, it is about destabilizing all of Europe, and ultimately, the world, a bloody conflagration that will bring in a bloodbath to the earth.

Every heresy, every evil ideology, will declare itself against an actual evil in order to justify another evil. Satan probably came up with some very persuasive arguments when he sparked revolution against God. And so, such rebellious people, being as their father the devil, will always use facts to substantiate their movements.
The prospect of revolutions throughout Europe, from Spain, to Belgium, to Italy and Romania, is very strong. In the history of Europe, there have been many traitors, those who bring destruction for the cause of their diabolical desires.Today we have the Venetians who want to secede from Italy, and going all the way back to the 16th century, you had Venetians who cared nothing for Christendom, and were more focused on profit than the Catholic Faith. There is a spirit that lies in this mentality, and still it lingers in Venice.
The Venetians, being utterly callous towards the cause of Christendom, secured their commercial interests with the Ottomans, and abandoned Spain which had to fight two enemies at once: the Ottomans in North Africa and the Calvinist Dutch in the European heartland. Here we have the Ottoman Dutch alliance, and we believe the same will be seen in the future.
Belgium consists of a federal government, and there is also a separate government for the French speaking Walloons; a government for the French speakers in Brussels; there is a government for the German speakers, and a government for Belgium’s capital of Brussels. There is also a government for the Dutch speaking region of Flanders, which the Flemish separatists want to sever away and make an independent state. With such a divided country, its like a room filled with gas; all one has to do is throw in the match of division and the fragmentation will start. There is a video from 2010 of Nigel Farage, in the EU parliament building, declaring that Belgium is “not a proper nation,” thus instigating for the fragmentation of this country:
The migration crises was allowed to happen on purpose in order to cause divisions in Europe. The migrant crises altered the political climate in Europe. Ever since the flood of migrants came into Europe, every secessionist and every eugenist came out of the woodworks to take advantage of the situation to promote their own agendas. And it has been working. Nigel Farage and Boris Johnson used the migration crises to push for Brexit. It was the migration crises that stirred up a surge of popularity for Geert Wilders and his Party for Freedom. Wilders and his parties were not that popular before the migrant situation. Now, they are the second largest party in the Dutch parliament where they currently hold twenty seats. Brexit or Geert Wilder’s taking second place in the Dutch elections, would have been unheard of if the migrant crises did not happen.
The fragmentation of a state, or of a body of states, leads to conflict. For example, the formation of Pakistan, and thus the severing of India, led to a bloody conflict between Muslim and Hindu that still lives on today. When the Bohemian Protestants and Hussites wanted to break away from Catholic Christendom, it led to the Battle of White Mountain, which eventually escalated to the Thirty Years’ War, the bloodiest war in Europe’s history before the First and Second World Wars.Small events are not the causers of war, but they simply provide the occasion in which old rivalries can return. Hatred between Europeans has always been in the continent, the question is, what will be the event that will give opportunity for these conflicts and spark the conflagrations that will lead to another world war? We shall wait and see.
Who is behind the Catalan uprising against Spain? This is the real question that not a lot are talking about. What we have, behind this movement, are nationalists, Nazis and socialists.
The beginning of Catalonia’s move towards a referendum has beentraced back to 2003, when parties like the socialist Popular Unity Candidacy, and the Platform for Catalonia came into the political scene in several city councils. Xavier Casals of Ramon Lull University, says that these parties “criticized the system from within, which broke out on the fringes of large formations,” spreading their views to the public. In 2008, DeWinter met with Anglada and Liga Norte, a separatist party that wants Northern Italy to split from Italy.
Catalonia just did its referendum with 90% of voters saying yes to secession from Spain. The president of Catalonia is expected to declare independence on Tuesday. We are currently witnessing the gradual fragmentation of Europe. We are witnessing history, we are seeing the incremental steps to the next world war. When you have the fragmentation of something as big as the European Union, expect war. With Europe divided, the most powerful nation in Europe, Germany, will fill in the power vacuum, that means, it will take advantage of the situation and strike militarily. This is what we have been warning about for nearly two years now, that with the fragmentation will come the restoration of a militarist Germany. This is not an article on just Catalonia, but on the full picture as to what is taking place, focusing on the whole forest as opposed to a single tree. We are seeing the breaking down of Europe. This may be one of the most important articles we have ever written. To truly comprehend the situation, Shoebat.com did in depth research on the situation. This article gets somewhat technical, but it is necessary in order to understand the complex network involved in this great conspiracy.
From witnessing the Arab Spring, we are now witnessing the beginning of the Europe Spring. We remember how, in 2011, when the Syrian revolution first began, we at Shoebat.com were telling people that the revolution was evil, in a time when most in the media were praising the revolt. Now, we are doing the same for the revolutions that are taking place in Europe.
Nearly two years ago, Shoebat.com predicted that Catalonia will secede, stating:
There will be splits within states. Today we have Catalonia, which is fighting for its sovereignty from Spain. This is no longer theory but is already in process. In September of 2015, the coalition of regional separatists won in the elections to the regional parliament. (62 places out of 135). In November, the parliament of Catalonia accepted the resolution of independence of Catalonia from Spain (according to the resolution, within 18 months Catalonia will secede from Spain, during this 18 months the necessary government structures of a new state will be created in Catalonia and a new constitution will be written).
This fragmentation will spread chaos like a wildfire. The former Prime Minister of Italy, Enrico Letta, recently said that the situation in Catalonia could spark chaos throughout Europe. Letta said:
“Europe needs a solution and Europe needs to avoid this chaos — chaos can be like a virus and we need to avoid chaos …We were exiting from the main political problems in Europe and now this Catalonian issue risks bringing a new virus and new chaos”
If Catalonia leaves Spain, it will also leave the EU, and the domino effect will hit Europe — both East and West — and it will only be further fragmented. Esteban Gonzalez Pons, an MEP from Spanish Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy’s Popular Party, said:
“If today you let Spain break up with Catalonia, a domino effect will follow across the continent. Instead of a Europe of 27, we will have a non-Europe of mini-states”
“A unilateral declaration of independence would amount to a further provocation, which would throw oil on the fire after Sunday’s meaningless referendum”
Philippe Lamberts, a Belgian politician, has said that the threats of revolt coming from Catalonia:
“threaten the spirit of European integration, even more than Brexit”
All of these warnings are just nice ways of saying that with fragmentation, will come war.
Europe is fragmenting, as Christendom once fragmented before the eruption of the Thirty Years War in the 17th century. This is the worst crises that Spain has seen in decades, and the Catalonian separatists just keep on going, ignoring the demands of loyalty coming from the Spanish government. As one German report states:
“So far, the Spanish government has failed miserably. Right now, those Catalans who want independence, alongside the region’s state government, are simply pushing ahead with their plan. The Spanish king has intervened but the conflict still continues to intensify. A unilateral declaration of Catalan independence is only days away. Is that legal? Illegal? The Catalan president could care less.”
The same report ends with a warning: “the Spanish crisis could well become a European crisis.”
This is Syria all over again, but only this time its in Europe, and whatever happens in Europe effects the whole earth. This is why we called it, years ago, the Europe Spring. As Shoebat.com wrote in January of this year:
“In the last few years we have seen the Arab Spring poisoned. Today we see the rising European Spring. It is also being poisoned. This European Spring is not about fighting Islamism as these movements currently deceive, but is all about turning the West into neopaganism, fascism, nazism and antisemitism.”
The Spanish government just released an apology to Catalonian protestors beaten up by Spanish police. This apology will not help to calm the situation. It will only embolden the rebels as they see the apology as a show of weakness. This can be compared to Assad’s attempt to bring peace to his country, when all it did was embolden the forces (the US, NATO and their Sunni allies) that wanted to get rid of him, and who saw Assad’s cordialness as weakness.
The Catalonians are not stopping. They want to declare independence from Spain, and have planned a meeting for Tuesday to make this declaration. Initially, they made the meeting for Monday, but just on Thursday, Spain’s highest court suspended the Catalonian parliament’s Monday’s meeting, in trying to prevent Catalan President Carlos Puigdemont’s expected declaration of independence. But the Catalonians are not backing down. Carme Forcadell, the president of Catalonia’s Parliament, told reporters:
Major companies in Catalonia are already starting to leave. According to one report, “Gas Natural Fenosa and Dogi International Fabrics said Friday they were moving their legal bases from Catalonia’s capital, Barcelona.”
The biggest banks even know that major unrest is on the way. Catalan’s biggest banks are now talking about leaving Catalan in the midst of the referendum to secede from Spain. Spain’s fifth largest bank, Banco Sabadell SA, already confirmed on Thursday that it will be leaving Catalan and resettling in Alicante. The board for CaixaBank SA has already said that it will be leaving Catalonia for Valencia “in light of the current political and social situation in Catalonia.”
This is not for no reason.
If banks are leaving Catalonia, that means they know that secession is going to happen, or at least that major instability is going to commence.
If you want to know the future, just look at the banks. The ones who control the money, control the world.
The idea of breaking nations into regions, or “regionalism,” will be becoming more and more of a headline in the near future. After Brexit, other secessionists of Europe were inspired, knowing that they, too, could succeed. Nigel Farage, one of the movers behind the Brexit movement, is totally in favor for the Catalonian separatist movement. This is not by accident, since Farage and those like him are instigators for revolution, arm chair rebels whose call for secession will only lead to violence.
As tensions rise between Catalonia and Madrid, Brussels is not doing anything to intervene. We suspect that Germany, and its EU states, will act neutral until blood is on the streets, and then there will be intervention.

The Islamic terrorists who carried out a killing rampage in Barcelona earlier this week had plans to blow up the iconic Catholic basilica of la Sagrada Familia, according to new reports.
The Spanish newspaperEl Español has noted that the jihadist cell had a stockpile of explosives at a nearby property in Alcanar (Tarragona) and intended to use three vans to detonate them in three different points of the city in order to inflict the greatest possible damage. An accidental explosion at the Alcanar estate on Wednesday left the terrorists without ammunition and forced them to improvise the vehicle attacks in Barcelona and Cambrils, the report states.
“They were preparing one or several attacks in Barcelona and an explosion in Alcanar stopped this as they no longer had the material they needed to commit attacks of an even bigger scope,” said Josep Lluis Trapero of Catalonia’s police.
The explosion killed one jihadists and left another in serious condition.
The prime target of the attack was meant to be the Catholic Sagrada Familia (Holy Family) basilica, an enormous neo-gothic structure designed by Spanish artist Antoni Gaudí, which draws huge numbers of visitors and pilgrims each day. Construction of the still unfinished church began in 1882 and is projected for completion in 2026.
According to reports, the terrorists had chosen the Basilica of the Sagrada Familia as their main target because it is a symbol of the city and of the Christian religion, as well as for the massive flow of visitors. During 2016, the church was visited by some 4.5 million people, and more than 20 million people came to view the structure from the outside.
The second bombing objective was La Rambla, which in addition to the continuous flow of pedestrians passing by this emblematic walk, is located next to the Market of La Boquería, one of the most frequented destinations in the city.
The third target has not yet been identified, but investigators suspect it was to be a port area.
Just before 5:00pm on Thursday, one of the jihadists drove a rented van through the city’s tourist hotspot of La Rambla, a pedestrian walkway, mowing down people and even swerving in an attempt to hit as many victims as possible. In the end, the man killed 14 people and injured dozens more in his rampage.
The design of the original attack, including the resources and number of persons involved, has confirmed that the operation was the work of a coordinated jihadist cell, rather than of “lone wolves.”
Them mūzbags, that rabble so rowdy,
Planned to burn the Cathedral of Gaudi.
If the cash now we trace,
It will flow from one place:
The land of the serpentine Saudi.
My Note: It’s Purple Day – Spain and Europe Will Need the Wonderful Warrior Queen Isabella la Católica soon. Sadly, it will take a nuclear bomb and 1 million dead before the western world wakes up and realizes that they are all going to be murdered by these Muslims unless they do something á la Isabella.
In the name of the Father,the Son,and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Finally. We have achieved what we longed for so much. Christianity will remember this day. Victory is far more pleasing when you have suffered for it. It is our desire that a large cross be erected on the highest tower. It must be seen from the last corner of the city. Granada is Christian and everyone must know it.

Catholics in the Spanish city of Granada struck back at what they described as a “provocative” decision to stage a Ramadan fast-breaking in front of a statue of the Virgin Mary, by arranging a mass public prayer at the same spot.
“We are here because we can’t allow that to happen. They can’t do it in Granada. They can do so in their place, but not in the Jardines del Triunfo that has been ours for so long,” a Catholic at the event told RT’s Ruptly video agency.
The present-day Jardines del Triunfo started off as 13th century Islamic cemetery during the Muslim occupation of Spain, but is now dominated by a 17th century statue of the Immaculate Conception, located atop a towering pillar.
The decision to stage a prayer to break the daily Ramadan fast on June 10 was taken jointly by a Socialist-controlled city hall and an Islamic group, the Euroarab Foundation.
Those who chanted traditional Catholic prayers at the gardens this week, led by a leader with a megaphone, disagreed.
“It was a lack of respect to Catholics. I love everybody: Arabs, Buddhists alike. It was a provocation, and due to the municipality of Granada,” said a middle-aged woman.
Selected Comments:
“a socialist major”…as usual socialists hate Catholics so much that they team up with Muslims in order to degrade and ridicule Catholics…why socialist hate so much the catholic church???
Looks like the local Muslims have found some new politician friends.
I think it was a place in Spain that saved Europe from becoming Muslim a long time ago.
The Euroarab Foundation is financed with radical, Saudi Wahhabi money. The Saudis want to recover Al Andalus for their idea of Umma. Other religions and not only Christianity will then be outlawed like in Saudi Arabia, the Sharia will be the only law.
If we Catholics would do the same and go to a mosque (what is impossible) then we had already a war going on. But when we are protesting about their provocative behavior then we are blamed for not accepting Muslims. That is why Muslims are not the people who belong to be in European countries. If they want to do their things, they can do it in there mosques that are build with our taxpayers money. What they want more? Integration? Oh what a joke!
Muslims have no place living in modern western countries. If the free world wants to really be free we need to break the chains the world banks have placed upon us and close our borders until the corrupt elite globalists are brought to justice.
Muslims believe Spain “belongs” to them. They want to turn it into another Islamic ghetto full of car bombs.
You have tried and Failed – You will always Fail but We will always be thankful that you keep trying – God Bless Israel.
To understand how Islam spreads anyone can just look at its history.
When they are the stronger side militarily, they just invade and m u r d er all who disagree. Over 80 million men/women/children lost their lives when they invaded the India subcontinent alone.
When they are weaker, they use stealth techniques as is happening in Europe now. The first generation are nice and compliant, but as their population percent grow, the Muslims become more and more demanding and less and less tolerant of their hosts beliefs and values until they do eventually reach a point where they feel strong enough to demand only the Islamic way of life, even to the natives, with dire consequences should the natives disagree.
EVERY nation that is Islamic today became that way by one of the two methods above.
There will come a time when all Muslims will be sent …… Home
Muslim are more passionate about their beliefs. Well kowtowing even 5 times a day will not help them one bit to avoid the eternal destruction.
Islam is blasphemy, plain and simple
Islam will be destroyed along with every other false religion upon the second coming of Jesus Christ.
While in Algeria, a Catholic Church Demolished To Make Way For New Mosque. Of course, soon, the new Antichrist leader of France, Macron will pay a state visit to Algeria to congratulate his spiritual brothers with the successful demolition of the church.
Europe Desperately Needs a Woman With a Beautiful Soul Like
QUEEN ISABELLA I OF CASTTILE
ይህችን ድንቅ ክርስቲያን ንግሥት እንዴት እንደምወዳት
እንደ ንግሥተ ሳባ በእምነትጽኑነቷበጣም ያስደነቃል
እንደ እነርሱ ያሉትን ቸሩ እግዚአብሔር ቶሎ ያምጣልን!
Today’s Christian Leaders Lack Even A Fraction Of Queen Isabella’s Wisdom And Vision. What A Wonderful Queen. Europeans Need Such Leaders In Their Weekend Christian Lands To Deal With The Enemies of Jesus Christ.
