discovered the misleading maneuver of the PP

Periodistadigital, an average parasite, dedicated to clonar information (but only of liberal and facist newspapers), it today publishes (23 of June of 2005) this news:

11M

Aznar suspended in its informative management
The parliamentary groups, except for the PP, they criticize its performance after 11-M
The Commission of Investigation of 11-M closes east Wednesday with an evident conclusion for all the parliamentary groups except for the PP: the informative work del Government of Jose Maria Aznar after the attacks of Madrid was not the suitable one. They point so much the PSOE as CIU, ERC, IU, PNV and Mixed battalion, giving to understand each one, more or less clearly, that the information that was manipulated had the Government with respect to the authors of the attack.

Chocolate by the news. Julio Carreras, a race journalist, it discovered the maneuver of the PP when not yet half of corpses of the terrible attack had retired, and the PP and all the average Spaniards already repeated to choir: "it has been a crime of the ETA". The same Zapatero left to declare, on the following day, that "there were sufficient indications like adjudging the attack to the Basque separatist organization".
From a small Argentine province, Julio Carreras wrote same the 12 of March, to its numerous journalistic contacts in the world: "there is situated no the ETA... but To the Qaeda, in retaliation by the participation of the Spanish government in support to the North Americans in the invasion to Iraq ". How reached the Argentine journalist such conclusions? Simply through the data processing, obtained by Internet. By the way, she is a journalist who has 30 years of experience, and a anxious personal history - in addition to great talent which takes to him to obtain conclusions there intelligent where a normal journalist only sees numbers.
By prudence, it hoped a day to present more publicly its conclusions; but, when the PP continued repeating in Spain - and the unanimous press alongside- Carreras published a demolishing article in Indymedia of the Basque Country, where data spread that rationally process could take to a single conclusion: it was not the ETA, and the PP, before the possible damage that this would cause in its electoral performance, it had devised this monstrous maneuver, manipulating vilely the data whereupon, also they (the who best one!) they counted.
Quickly the information provided by the Argentinean Julio Carreras crossed the world, republicada one hundred times by also alternative newspapers, like the Bonfire and the Cow, of Argentina, Tricontinental, of Cuba, and almost all the Indymedia Spanish. Still today, his second part -"Misery of the information" - it continues being visited by hundreds of readers every day, since it has stayed as an example of effective journalism.
This triumph of the alternative media, it throws the at least three most important data on the present informative reality of the world:
a) Great investigation successes can be obtained resorting to the
immense baggage of information that today provides Internet.
b) the traditional press is lost completely its credibility, since from the 11 of September of 2001 towards here, it has not made another thing that to reveal publicly its absolute submission to the richest and powerful interests of.
c) an intelligent journalist is more important today than gigantic equipment or elefantiásicas covers, in order to satisfy correctly to the public information.
By the way, the mediocre journalists who indeed for that reason still remain in
their lukewarm positions of the great chains, they omit to mention the informative profit of Carreras. But nobody delay of them this, anyway, for history, journalistically already they are dead.
Anyone can see the news, in its original publication, where they remain until today:

& was supported in his lies by Angel Acebes.

Aznar is currently the honorary president for life of the PP party.

Acebes is currently the secretary general of the PP party.

The PP party entered opposition after the elections of March 14th 2004.

Interested readers may consult the archives for coverage of that day, the previous day and the following day and the whole bloody month. Most of the coverage is still online, though due to serious disagreements within the then collective some was edited and other articles were removed and some were appended as comments to others which suited the prejudices of a then editor resident in Ireland showing blatent disregard for information which was coming "in real time" from contributors in Spain.
Really there was nothing unusual in this, the same thing happened with RTE and the Irish Times. As one of those information activists who "got it right" I don't see the point in revisiting this, I rather would wish we use our own intelligence and direct readers attention to the future and never forget that over 200 people died that week due to violent causes deriving from the simultanous bombing of several trains in working class areas in Madrid when 198 died.

May they rest in Peace. = Allow them to rest.

M-11 Commission concludes that PP acted out of party interests
The report produced by the commission says the information provided by the Government in the days following the attacks did not coincide with Police investigations

Editorial Staff

The Commission of Enquiry into the Madrid train bombings on March 11, 2004, concluded yesterday that between March 11 and 14 the PP-Popular Party acted out of party interests. The commission endorsed the report practically unanimously, despite opposition from the PP. According to the text, the PP did not respond as it should have done in the face of the risk of Islamist attacks and that its response after March 11 was in line with party interests.

The report deplores the fact that the Government did not convene the Crisis Committee. The then Spanish Prime Minister, Jose Maria Aznar, only met with some of his cabinet colleagues and other officials. The report goes on to say that when the authorities said ETA was responsible, they were trying to use the information to their own advantage ahead of the March 14 elections. It concludes that there was considerable discrepancy between the information provided by the police and that given by Angel Acebes, the former Interior Minister. “All the data examined by the Commission showed that the investigations were pointing to the possibility of an attack carried out by Islamists.”

The report says that International and Spanish police had warned of the danger of an Islamist attack, but the PP Government failed to take sufficient notice. It also mentions the failure to monitor the explosives in Asturias. But the Commission stresses that that does not mean that the massacre could have been prevented.

The report is the work of a joint committee made up of the PSOE, the IU and the ICV parties; it includes the conclusions of other parties and lawyer’ reports and is based on the text endorsed on the first anniversary of March 11.
