Tyler Durden – Activist Post July 4, 2021
The prominent Spanish daily El País is reporting a hugely alarming scenario in which Spain’s central government is mulling a national mobilization and “security law” which would compel citizens to “temporarily” give up their rights in instances of future public health crises or emergencies such as happened with the coronavirus pandemic.
The law is currently at the level of a mere proposal but worryingly it would elevate matters of public health to the level of ‘national security’ – as El País spells out based on a translation of its reporting:
Any person of legal age shall be obliged to carry out the ‘personal obligations’ required by the competent authorities, following the guidelines of the National Security Council, when a state of crisis is declared in Spain. In this case, all citizens without exception must comply with the orders and instructions issued by the authorities.
This sounds vague enough to suggest literally nothing would be off-limits in terms of state authorities’ massive legally enshrined reach into people’s personal lives on the mere bases of a national crisis. And further there’s little or nothing which establishes a clear threshold for what legally would constitute such a crisis.
Throughout the pandemic we’ve already seen a number of places in Europe, also especially Canada, where government officials already essentially claim such far-reaching powers to force the citizenry to conform. Now Spain is looking to permanently enshrine this scenario into law.
Consider just how far this Orwellian proposal goes, as reported on in El País:
In the event that a state of crisis is declared in Spain (‘situation of interest to National Security’ is the name given by law), the authorities may also proceed to the temporary requisition of all types of property, at the intervention or provisional occupation of those that are necessary or the suspension of all kinds of activities.
The backers of the future legislation are seeking to assure the public that “compensation” would eventually follow; however, it would clearly given permanent and endless powers to any ruling government which decided to enact it based on a real or manufactured “crisis”.
Remember such insane recently enforced regulations like *outdoor* masks?…
Spain's new law making face masks mandatory in all public spaces, including beaches, has been met with fierce criticism from the tourism industry, which argues it “threatens to wipe out thousands and thousands of jobs”

Here’s more on private citizenry being viewed as ‘militarized’ under the proposed legislation:
The duty concerns not only all citizens but also companies and legal entities to collaborate with the authorities to overcome the crisis, through a provision of a personal or material nature. The text is based on article 30 of the Constitution, according to which “Spaniards have the duty and right to defend Spain.”
It is the same article that regulates compulsory military service (suspended in Spain since 2001), although it does not refer to its 2nd section, which establishes the “military obligations of the Spanish”, but to the 4th, according to which, “by law, the duties of citizens may be regulated in cases of serious risk, catastrophe or public calamity”, a constitutional provision whose development has remained unpublished until now.
Another crucial detail relates to the media, which would essential be ‘temporarily’ transformed to exclusively serve official state propaganda in order to “defend Spain” as if in a wartime situation:
Among other novelties, the draft includes the obligation of the media to collaborate with the competent authorities in the dissemination of information of a preventive or operational nature. The most important thing, however, is that it incorporates measures to avoid the recurrence of shortages of products and critical goods to face a crisis, such as the lack of masks, respirators and PPE that occurred when infections began to spread massively.
The draft law had first been unveiled in a Council of Ministers meeting on June 22, according to the report. There’s little doubt that should Spain actually adopt this ultra-controversial expansion of state powers for the sake of a vague “crisis” – other European countries will follow suit and perhaps already are.
We’ve seen some officials and political pundits actually push similar measures in the US and Britain… this looks to unfortunately be the “what’s next” waiting for us during the next “global health crisis” on the horizon – however it gets vaguely defined.

Crisis?
There is NO crisis that demands the seizure of anyone’s property, but again, this sums up the stupidity of people who don’t know what’s going on. They won’t question as to why they need to seize their property.
Notice the word ‘temporary’ too? Yup, this is on a par with the government saying ‘temporary’ lockdown and ‘getting back to normal’. It’s ain’t happening folks. Those on here know that, but then they’re not the ones who need to know what’s going on are they?

I think I’ll add my own little quote while we’re at it.
“If people are not prepared to educate themselves about the dangers in life and know when they’re lives are being threatened, whatever happens to them is their own doing.”
COMMUNISM TO COME IN USA + EUROPA !
GULAG NOT FAR AWAY !
Whomever proposed and supports such a tyrannical abomination should be laughed out of the room…and then get publicly flogged…
The scum at the top will not go away until we make them go away. We are at war against all politicos, their bankster owners and their gofers.
The West is self destructing. Spain is a good example of the process with its complete sell out to the international banking cartel controlling every aspect of their lives. The couple without kids sitting on the beach wearing their useless masks says it all. Spain like every other debt-rigged “affluent” Western nation owned and controlled by the international banking cartel, has been in a birth dearth ever since they kicked out God, home and hearth for the ticky tacky of corporate commercialism and bankster fiat debt rigging. The people are not even worthy of being called sheeple. They are more like mush being slopped around by government, media, corporate and military ladles all working for the ruling cartel. No integrity, no knowledge, no truth, no resistance to where or how they are slopped around, no real care, and so they slowly but surely simply die off and are replaced.
when a foreigne houseowner leaves several weeks and the house looks
abandonated gipsies go in and live in it. owner cannot get them out
because he did not line up police the first two days . thats law in spain
and he can get them out only by very very expensive ways .
How did they achieve so much control in the Communist Bloc without the common cold?
The obstacle to such legislation being passed in Spain is the ferociously uncompliant Northern Iberian nation of proto-Britons, the Basques.
This is exemplified by the bravery of Madrid Region, local-government leader, Isabel Diaz Ayuso who has refused, during this entire episode, to lock her community down. Ayuso is a Basque name.
I’d like to see the jews of Spain try. Have they never heard of the Maquis? Have they never heard of ETA? They have no idea what they would unleash.
Gora Euskadi!
To Fred B–in China they kicked out God but the government decides the birth rate , same as in Europe, but the Jews have not told the Chinks to die off like they have us.
Franco ! Come back !! All’s forgiven !!

Cui bono? When we find that out and confirm we are actually on some kind of hit list, then if we want to survive there is no option but self defense.
Come back Franco, you are needed urgently.
This is NOT NEW. It is part of the bigger plan of the controllers to take over the world.

Keep a highly reduced population in 5G SMART tech track, trace, and data basing 24/7, no personal vehicles, no access to the country side, living on fixed incomes from the government who can use that to force people to comply to ANYTHING.
The predicted population of the US for 2025 is 1/3 what it is now.

identifing + media liers + falsificators where they
live to execute them by lone wolfs ! is first step
In Britain, Johnson and those behind him will be watching this with great interest. During the so-called pandemic, the National Health Service used emergency legislation to seize control of private hospitals (which they then couldn’t run properly).
