"In Catalonia, Is Russia Trying to Influence Another Vote?"-Newsweek September 30, 2017



Those are the headlines and there are more from numerous "mainstream " news organizations trying to link up the recent referendum and push for independence in Catalonia with the same scapegoat they tried to pin on Donald Trump, Russia.

There are stories about fake news being generated and the Spanish government seems to have hooked onto that notion with denunciations of what they call "fake news" stories posted online showing the fighting between Catalans and national police on October 1st when the authorities tried to shut down the vote.

Meanwhile, a Donald Trump supporter offered his views on what happened October 1st when Catalan authorities reported 900 injured in the face of aggressive actions by national police against the election (independence referendum).

"Ever in my fiercest criticisms here did I think we would see the police of a member state of the European Union injuring 900 people in an attempt to stop them going out to vote"
