unemployment in Spain
dear sisters and brothers, the finantial disaster they are putting europe into is outrageous.
right now, the only european country living in democracy is Iceland.
the rest of us are totally under the control of our dark governements reporting to the evil Angela Merkl, who is a minion the cabal. but, of course, she is not alone.
and the portuguese prime-minister is a kiss-ass of Merkl. but he is not runnig the country. who really is in power in our governement is the finance minister and the minister of the parliamentar matters (?). they are selling out the country cheap to China and to Angola.
may the Goddess/God bess us All.
Love and Light to All!
