Ya he puesto el preámbulo. Voy a ir partiendo el artículo poco a poco, pero hoy es algo tarde. Continuaré mañana.
I am used to reading this kind of conspiracionist garbage in some Spanish newspapers, but I had always thought international media knew better and would try to preserve their well-earned prestige avoiding silly conspiracy theories like the plague. Alas, 'tis not so.
So it's time again to educate a conspiracionist and, in the process, warn the well-meaning readers who might get the wrong impression from all this misinformation that most of the author's claims are plain wrong.
Conspiracy theories (CTs) about the M-11 (3/11) terrorist attacks in Madrid hold about the same amount of water that CTs about 9-11 hold: none.
They are the invention of creative fiction writers with a strong political agenda. The difference is that in the Spanish case a major political party and its agitprop (let's use the same language the author uses) machinery, including the second newspaper in circulation numbers in Spain and the second radio network, have actively tried to sell the idea that hundreds of policemen, district attorneys and plain, common citizens conspired to either make the opposition party win the election or cover up the true authorship afterwards, or both.
The conspiracy is so perfect that three and a half years later not a single whistleblower within the conspiracy has been found, even though the said conspiracy requires hundreds and hundreds of participants, all of them luckily found in the right place at the right time, as well as a mastermind so cunning that it could make hundreds of evidence pieces and witness testimonies fit perfectly to tell a story that is the exact opposite of the truth.
Forget the Kennedy assasination. That was child's play compared with THIS, the mother of all conspiracies.
Imagine the Democratic Party and the New York Times spousing CT's about 9/11? That's basically what has happened in Spain, believe it or not.
I will presently get into details, showing the falsehood of the bulk of the author's claims. I can do it blindfolded; I and my pals have been doing the same for 42 months.

[A los creyentes] les competerá difundir lo que otros han acuñado; ya que ningún hombre suelta y expande la mentira con tanta gracia como el que se la cree.
