On 15 July 2019, under the signature of Carlos Enrique Bayo, the Spanish republican daily P\u00fablico<\/em> published the beginning of a four-part enquiry into the relations between the ring-leader of the 2017 attacks in Catalonia and the Spanish secret services\u00a0[1<\/a><\/strong><\/span>].<\/span><\/p>\n In Spain, espionage and counter-espionage are handled by a single institution, the CNI (Centro Nacional de Inteligencia<\/em> \u2013 National Intelligence Centre). Although, administratively speaking, it is subordinate to the Ministry of Defence, its director enjoys the formal rank of Minister.<\/span><\/p>\n The documents published by P\u00fablico attest that, contrary to the official version, the Imam of Ripoll, the Moroccan Abdelbaki Es-Satty<\/span> Above all, they attest that :<\/span> Why did the CNI not prevent the attacks ?<\/span> In fact, Es-Satty was already implicated in \u00ab Operation Jackal \u00bb, which linked him to the attacks in Casablanca on 16 May 2003\u00a0[2<\/strong><\/span><\/a>] as well as another in Iraq against the Italian forces\u00a0[3<\/strong><\/span><\/a>].<\/span><\/p>\n These revelations remind us of the events of 11-M, the most gigantic attack to hit Europe after 11 September 2001. 11-M killed close to 200, and left 2,000 people wounded. Although the perpetrators of this operation have been judged, we still do not know who ordered it.<\/span> The attack was first blamed on the Basque independentists of ETA, then later on Islamists.<\/span><\/p>\n We published an investigation by Mathieu Miquel on this subject, in which he demonstrated the solidity of the hypothesis of a NATO false-flag operation\u00a0[6<\/a><\/strong><\/span>].<\/span><\/p>\n Involuntarily, this was confirmed by the decidedly Atlantist ex-Prime Minister Jose-Maria Aznar. At the beginning of the \u00ab Arab Spring \u00bb, he revealed that the head of Al-Qa\u00efda in Libya, Aldelhakim Belhaj, was implicated in the attack of 11-M, but that it had not been possible to arrest and try him\u00a0[7<\/strong><\/span><\/a>]. However, with the help of NATO, Belhaj became the military governor of Tripoli. Then, according to the Spanish monarchist daily ABC, he \u00ab moved to Syria to “assist” the revolution \u00bb. In truth, however, he went to create the Free Syrian Army on behalf of France\u00a0[8<\/strong><\/span><\/a>]. According to the Russian ambassador for the Security Council, Vitali Tchourkine, Belhaj and his men had been transported from Libya to Turkey by the UNO under cover of humanitarian aid for the refugees. Following a request addressed to Interpol by the Attorney General of Egypt, Hichem Baraket, Belhaj became the Emir of Daesh for the Maghreb in 2015\u00a0[9<\/strong><\/span><\/a>]. Today, he governs Eastern Libya with the military support of Turkey and Qatar and the political support of the UN.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s remember that historians have established the responsibility of NATO during the Cold War for assassinations, attacks, and coups d\u2019etat in the member states of the Alliance\u00a0[10<\/a><\/strong><\/span>]. According to the interior literature of the Alliance, NATO secret services were placed under the joint responsibility of the British MI6 and the US CIA.<\/span><\/p>\n Let\u2019s take another look at the attacks in Catalonia. According to the documents published by P\u00fablico, the Imam of Ripoll, Abdelbaki Es-Satty, has long been radicalised, a fact which the CNI has always denied until now. He was a militant with Ansar al-Islam, a group which progressively infiltrated the Islamic State in Iraq, which in turn became Daesh.<\/span><\/p>\n Ansar el-Islam was led by the Kurd Mullah Krekar, who is currently under house arrest in Norway. According to the Turkish Kurd daily \u00d6zg\u00fcr G\u00fcndem<\/em> (today shut down by orders of President Erdogan), the CIA organised a secret meeting in Amman (Jordan) to plan the conquest of Iraq by Daesh\u00a0[11<\/a><\/strong><\/span>]. The daily published the record of this meeting, which had been drawn up by the Turkish secret services and then stolen by the PKK. It appears that Mullah Krekar, still officially under arrest, had participated in the meeting. He had flown down from Norway in a special NATO plane, and then quietly went back to prison.<\/span><\/p>\n This affair created an uproar in Spain, where the Parliament of Catalonia created a committee of enquiry on the attacks, in which the Junts per Catalunya (Carles Puigdemont\u2019s independentist party) hurled questions at Pedro S\u00e1nchez\u2019s government in the Congress of Deputies.<\/span><\/p>\n The Catalonian independentists hinted that the Spanish government had deliberately allowed the attack against the Catalonian people to go ahead. This was no doubt a clever move politically, but in truth it is no more than slanderous conjecture.<\/span><\/p>\n The facts remain – and we are staying with the facts \u2013 that in these attacks in Spain, as in a great number of Islamist attacks in the West and the Arab world:<\/span> Of course, all this may be no more than pure coincidence, but since 2001 the events have been reproduced every time, whatever the location and the identity of the protagonists.<\/span><\/p>\n Thierry Meyssan<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Translation<\/span> [1<\/a>] \u00abLa verdad sobre el im\u00e1n de Ripoll\u00bb 1- \u00abEl cerebro de la masacre de Las Ramblas fue confidente del CNI hasta el d\u00eda del atentado<\/a>\u00bb, 2- \u00abEl CNI escuchaba los m\u00f3viles de los asesinos de Las Ramblas cinco d\u00edas antes de la matanza<\/a>\u00bb, 3- \u00abEl CNI fich\u00f3 a Es Satty en 2014 a cambio de no ser deportado y le ayud\u00f3 a ser im\u00e1n en Ripoll<\/a>\u00bb, 4- \u00abEl CNI quiso poner al im\u00e1n en Barcelona pero el jefe local se neg\u00f3 a que lo controlara Madrid<\/a>\u00bb, Carlos Enrique Bayo, P\u00fablico<\/em>, 15, 16, 17 y 18 de Julio de 2019.<\/span><\/p>\n [2<\/a>] Les attentats de Casablanca et le complot du 11 septembre<\/em>, Omar Mounir, Marsam, 2004.<\/span><\/p>\n [3<\/a>] \u201cThe Road to Las Ramblas<\/a>\u201d, Zach Campbell, The Intercept<\/em>, September 3, 2018.<\/span><\/p>\n [4<\/a>] \u00ab La OTAN simul\u00f3 un atentado en Europa con 200 muertos<\/a> \u00bb, Carlos Segovia, El Mundo<\/em>, 14 de marzo de 2004.<\/span><\/p>\n [5<\/a>] \u00ab La investigaci\u00f3n halla en los vuelos de la CIA decenas de ocupantes con estatus diplom\u00e1tico<\/a> \u00bb, Andreu Manresa, El Pa\u00eds<\/em>, 15 de noviembre de 2005.<\/span><\/p>\n [6<\/a>] \u00ab 11 mars 2004 \u00e0 Madrid : \u00e9tait-ce vraiment un attentat islamiste ?<\/a> \u00bb, \u00ab Attentats de Madrid : l\u2019hypoth\u00e8se atlantiste<\/a> \u00bb, Mathieu Miquel, R\u00e9seau Voltaire<\/em>, 11 octobre et 6 novembre 2009.<\/span><\/p>\n [7<\/a>] \u00ab Spain\u2019s Former Prime Minister Jose Maria Aznar on the Arab Awakening and How the West Should React<\/a> \u00bb, CNBC.com, December 9, 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n [8<\/a>] \u00abIslamistas libios se desplazan a Siria para “ayudar” a la revoluci\u00f3n<\/a>\u00bb, Daniel Iriarte, ABC<\/em>, Red Voltaire<\/em>, 17 de diciembre de 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n [9<\/a>] \u00ab Selon Interpol, Abdelhakim Belhaj est le chef de Daesh au Maghreb<\/a> \u00bb, R\u00e9seau Voltaire<\/em>, 25 f\u00e9vrier 2015.<\/span><\/p>\n [10<\/a>] NATO\u2019s secret armies: operation Gladio and terrorism in Western Europe,<\/em> Daniele Ganser, Routledge, 2005.<\/span><\/p>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/Abdelbaki-Es-Satty.jpg\")

\n->\u00a0had been radicalised for a long time ;<\/span>
\n->\u00a0that he had been recruited as an informer by the Intelligence services ;<\/span>
\n->\u00a0that the Intelligence services had falsified his legal case files in order to avoid him being expelled after he was found guilty of drug-trafficking ;<\/span>
\n->\u00a0that a \u00ab dead letter box \u00bb had been prepared for him so that he could communicate with his handling officer ;<\/span>
\n->\u00a0and that the telephones of his accomplices were tapped.<\/span><\/p>\n
\n->\u00a0the CNI followed the terrorists step by step ;<\/span>
\n->\u00a0knew the locations of the targets for the attack ;<\/span>
\n->\u00a0and were continuing their surveillance at least four days before the crimes were committed.<\/span><\/p>\n
\nWhy did it hide what it knew?<\/span>
\nWhy, in 2008, (that is to say before the recruitment of Abdelbaki Es-Satty as an informer), did it hide certain elements from the Guardia Civil in order to protect the enquiry into the Madrid attack of 11 March 2004 (known as \u00ab 11-M \u00bb)?<\/span><\/p>\n
\n->\u00a0It so happens that most of the perpetrators were police informants;<\/span>
\n->\u00a0NATO ran a secret exercise in Madrid on the eve of the attack, whose scenario was the same as that of the attack itself\u00a0[4<\/a><\/strong><\/span>] \u2013 a scenario that the terrorists could not have known, even though they followed its plan ;<\/span>
\n->\u00a0A large CIA team left Spain in haste on the day after the attack\u00a0[5<\/a><\/strong><\/span>].<\/span><\/p>\n
\n->\u00a0generally speaking, certain elements of the State apparatus were very precisely informed in advance;<\/span>
\n->\u00a0the terrorists were linked to NATO.<\/span><\/p>\n
