Cenk Reveals Who Is Behind The Migrant CRISIS In Spain
We've had 50 ,000 immigrants pour in from Morocco to Spain in their province called Quetta that they control.And 34 have already died.Interestingly, half have already returned.I'm gonna tell you why all this happened, give you a couple of reasons, and a surprising country that might be involved.Now, if you're thinking, hey, is that the same country we're always talking about?Well, we'll find out in a minute, isn't it?
Okay, so first, let me show you what's going on here so you have a sense of how this is working.And then I wanna tell you the reasons behind it.So look at Cuetana map here.So even though it is part of Spain, it's actually in North Africa.And so it's right next to Morocco, it's disputed territory.Morocco has said for a long time that they think it's theirs.
And so could the Moroccan government have been involved in instigating things there?Well, that's almost certain, as we're about to show you.But you see, it's not connected to the mainland in Europe.But since it is part of Spain, and hence technically part of Europe, people that are there and have legal citizenship can go anywhere in the EU.So it is a very relevant place to be, especially if we gain citizenship.Okay, now let me show you how people are pouring into that area.
And this is from the Wall Street Journal, they did a good job of showing you.So the area is up on the north there, you see the dotted line.And a lot of people rushed through on land, but a lot came through the sea and that's where unfortunately 34 of them died.But there's a reason why they went through the sea, I'll explain that to you in a second as well.Did people just wake up one day and go, hey, you know what?I think I'll bum rush Spain.
Probably not, more likely to be organized.In fact, there's videos like this that we wanna show you, that shows you that literally people were brought in by the truckloads.So people don't randomly walk into a truck and then walk out and then rush into Spain, especially with police that are already there.them.So there's no question this is organized.And it appears that there's almost no question that the Moroccan government at least allowing it to happen, if not encouraging it to happen, but it does appear to be encouraging.
So what are the possible reasons why that might be?Well, that's what I wondered, and I'm sure you're wondering why it's happening all of a sudden.So let's try to dive into it.First, we start with the Wall Street Journal.Space hold on Quetta has long been a point of friction with Morocco, they explain.Morocco doesn't formally recognize it as Spanish territory.
At times it has dropped controls on its side of the border, allowing people to surge forward and overwhelm border defenses in Quetta.So this is a tactic that Morocco has used before, including as late as 2021 over different disputes they've had.So now this is done on a much larger scale than in the past, but it's not like the Moroccan governments above it.They've done it before, and like I said, almost certainly involved in some way now.So, Wall Street Journal continues, this time analysts who study the region suggest Morocco may have loosened its border controls as a warning shot to Spain after Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez showed a desire to improve relations with Algeria, Morocco's historic rival for influence on Africa's northwest coast.So that's a plausible reason right there, might be Algeria.
Okay, they're angry about Spain's relationship with Algeria.But there are other possibilities.Moroccan lawmakers have said the influx was more likely to have been triggered by a recent Spanish Supreme Court ruling that made it more difficult to turn back migrants if they arrived by sea.Okay, so that's a potential reason as to why now.So Spain's courts rule, and then people go.But again, if it was not organized, it would be a little burst and another burst and a couple people and a couple of families and maybe a couple hundred people.
But it certainly would not be an organized 50 ,000 person basically raid, right?But it's certainly the Supreme Court decision there in Spain could have made a difference.and definitely in how they arrived through the water.Because if they go through the water, there was a special ruling saying that they're more likely to gain citizenship.So that gets into the details of the Spanish court system, but relevant as to how they arrived, but maybe not necessarily as to why they arrived.So one more from the Wall Street Journal, they explain that still other European countries are nervous.
France said it was tightening security at its border with Spain, and Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Maloney said her country might consider suspending the Schengen rules.And the Schengen rules are what allow people to go anywhere they want within the European Union.So they are saying, from now on, at least Italy's beginning to wonder if that should not apply to Spain.France is closing its borders with Spain.So this has had dramatic consequences.effect on Spain and it's hurt Spain in a lot of different ways.
So now, as we told you, one possibility is just Morocco's randomly mad at them and over Algeria.There's a second possibility.Does it involve Kazakhstan, well, of course it does.No, I'm kidding.Of course, it's about Israel.Unfortunately, I didn't think so, but we have overwhelming evidence, which I'm gonna share with you in a second.
But first, John, before we get into if it's Israel, what do you make of all this?Relatively normal, hey, yay, immigrants going to Spain, there's nothing wrong with it, or all this is problematic.What's your take?
I mean, none of it seems totally normal in any way.The sheer numbers, the fact that it occurred basically inside of a 24 hour period is unlike anything that I've seen.Bearing in mind that I will acknowledge what very few people talking about this topic in the news today won't acknowledge.I know basically nothing about that.I didn't even know that Spain had this sort of city that they control right there.So I'm learning about this in real time as everyone else is.
else coming to the story is.But yeah, the fact that it happened in such a short period of time makes some of the explanations, as you pointed out, hard to believe.The Supreme Court decision, okay, I could see that having effects over time, but that would have to filter through.And even if it led to a bunch of people in different countries wanting to come through, they all got there on the same day.That doesn't really make sense to me.None of those explanations necessarily make sense, just the sheer quantity all.
coming at once.
that headline's already interesting.But when you look at the full coverage on Ground News, you can see that more than 300 sources reported on that story.And the framing changes dramatically depending on who's covering it.A high factuality source on the left calls it a $1 .8 billion slush fund for January 6th insurrectionists.A right -leaning source with mixed factuality calls it a lawfare victims fund.Come on, you see that?
Same fund, same story, same lawsuit, two completely different attempts to tell you the victims are.And without Ground News, most people would only see whichever version their algorithm happened to serve to them first.Ground News also has a blind spot feed, which shows you stories that one side of the political spectrum is barely covering at all.And remember, it applies to both sides of the political spectrum.So you can see not only how the story is being spun, but how your usual media bubble may be leaving it out entirely.We have a president who plays fast and loose with the fact that
far too much of the media is willing to help him do it.Ground News gives you a much better chance of seeing through that noise and deciding for yourself.So go to ground .news slash TYT or scan the QR code to get 40 % off the vantage plan, the same plan that we use.I trust it and I genuinely think it's worth checking out.So do that today.

Get started freeIt's obviously, it's a tragedy that so many people would want to let alone that dozens would literally die, would be trampled to death or drown in a sea of other people swimming.And that's, I guess easy for us to focus on the politics that we should because going forward, that's what's gonna matter.But that's a horror movie that basically we saw acted out with dozens of people dying just for a chance to get through.That said, you can't overwhelm a small city with more than its actual population of migrants inside of a 24 hour period, that clearly isn't tenable.The entire thing is an absolute disaster.It's also fascinating, when you showed that video, Obviously, when Donald Trump and Republicans talk about border crossings at our southern border, they often talk about almost exclusively through the lens of this is an organized thing.
That they're emptying out their prisons, they're emptying out their asylums, and they're all being sent rather than it being an organic thing where people are coming in every day.And there's many different reasons for many different populations drawn from decades of American foreign policy and the economic devastation of the area and everything.And it feels like there's more evidence in one day for this one than I've seen presented by Republicans for the American southern border in years of them talking about it.And so, yeah, none of those explanations make sense to me, maybe the next one will though, what do you got?
Yeah, so just to point out a couple things there, yeah, so every accusation is a confession, right?So if we're organizing or Israel's organizing mass migration events, they might assume that others are as well like, well, then Mexico must be.doing it, or Nicaragua must be doing it, but not necessarily.So, all right, so let's dive into what the Israeli papers are talking about.Because if you want to know what's going on, don't turn to American media.They will lie to you 100 % on Israel's behalf on almost every instance.
But if you go to the Israeli press, they're actually quite terrific.And part of the reason why they're so good at getting us information is because A lot of their local officials and politicians and policymakers brag about how well they've done in manipulating certain situations to get what Israel wants at the cost to others.Including in this article at Ynet, where the person writing the article is in favor of all the actions that I'm about to read you that Israel has done.Atta boy, way to get Spain.Now if you're wondering, wait a minute.Wasn't there somebody who said something about Spain?
All right, Netanyahu, remember when he said this?So, for those of you who are listening to the podcast, he said in Hebrew, and he always talks in Hebrew when he wants to hide his message from the Western press, not that they'd report it anyway.But he said this.will pay an immediate price for daring to care about the Palestinians, and saying that maybe they shouldn't be slaughtered.He was enraged, we're going to slaughter anyone we like, okay?And if Spain objects, there'll be consequences.
Well, now let's check out the consequences.Emin Yeloub wrote in Wynette Global, Spain's refusal to allow the United States access to its Rota and Moran military bases during the Iran campaign, its consistent failure to meet NATO defense spending targets.And Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez's confrontational posture towards the Trump administration have collectively generated something rare in North African affairs.A genuine crack in Spain's strategic armor over Quetta and Melilla.And into that crack, Morocco's most consequential new partner, Israel, is uniquely positioned to press.So they wrote this a little while back, previewing what might come next.
And Malala is another city that Spain controls in North Africa.And they're saying, well, look, there's some issues that America has with Spain paying NATO dues.But mainly, how dare they not allow America to use this basis to bomb Iran on behalf of Israel?How dare they talk about the Palestinians as if they're humans?There's going to be consequences.So how does this actually get done, though?
How does it get executed?They explain, in March 2026, Michael Rubin of the American Enterprise Institute, riding through the Middle East forum, called on Trump administration to formally recognize Quetta and Melilla as occupied Moroccan territory, branding Spain, quote, a colonial power running colonies across the Strait of Gibraltar.So now Israel is a settler colony that has colonized the Middle East and it continues to attack and take land.But when Spain pointed out the occupation and the brutal treatment of the Palestinians, they go, yeah, all of a sudden we care about colonization.but it's only connected to when Spain criticized Israel then all of a sudden American Michael Rupin at the American Enterprise Institute Writes a policy paper about you know, do we got to do something about Spain and this land?They have in North Africa.
It's time to do something against Spain Obviously just because he cares so much about America, Connecticut Okay, so days later, look at this coordination.Representative Mario Diaz -Balart, a chairman of the House Subcommittee on National Security, and one of Marco Rubio's closest congressional confidants, declared publicly that the enclaves are Quote, not in the geographic territory of Spain, but rather in Moroccan territory, and that their fate should, quote, be established, negotiated, and discussed between friends and allies.So all of a sudden, a so -called American think tank writes a policy paper attacking Spain right after Israel ordered them to, at least publicly, and then an American congressperson Then attacks in the same exact way using the same exact talking points, but I'm sure there was no coordination at all Except for the fact they're about to admit it They write in wine at global.This was not the French speaking.This was the architecture of a coordinated strategic Repositioning but wait, he's not done explaining how much this is Israel yet.He says it over and over again in the article He continues to say this is where Israel enters their equation and does so with unusual leverage.
Now, of course, if I said that, everyone in American media would say, anti -Semite, what do you mean that Israel's doing a coordinated attack against Spain?That's conspiracy theory, and what do you mean they have unusual leverage?Are you implying that they have more power than any other country?Are you implying that theyhave more influence than Bolivia or Malaysia?But there they are in the Israeli press bragging about it.
We have unusual leverage over the Americans.And now we'll be using it to punish anyone who dares protect the Palestinians.Okay, well, we appreciate the confessions.They continue, the Abraham Accords transformed Morocco from a quiet, interlocutor with Israel into a formal military partner.So if you didn't know, Morocco is part of the Abraham Accords, and that led to Israel and Morocco having a military partnership.So Morocco is in bed with Israel.
So if you're wondering, wait, what did Morocco and Israel, okay, maybe Israel might want Morocco to do this, but why would Morocco do this?It turns out they have been a very close strategic and military partner of Israel.So when Israel wants something from Morocco, they get it.When Israel wants something from America, they get it.When Israel wants something from almost any country, they get it.In fact, when they wanted Spain to bend a knee and to join the war, and they didn't, they're like, no, that's unacceptable.
We have to send a message to all countries on planet Earth.You are not to ever defy the Israelis.Okay, they continue, Israel's voice in the triangle carries disproportionate weight.When Israeli officials signal alignment with a partner's strategic interest, that signal registers powerfully in a White House that has placed Abraham Accord's expansion at the center of its foreign policy vision.In that case, the triangle is America, Morocco, and Israel.But basically, there's only one point in that triangle directing both, as this article clearly explains over and over again.
Israel's in charge, we have the leverage, we tell America what to do, we tell Morocco what to do.And then they do it exactly as we order them.Now, if you weren't absolutely sure yet, then here comes Ben Gavir right after the event happens, and they rush the border.And he can't help but brag with glee on X, and he says, my congratulations to the President of the Government of Spain, Pedro Sanchez, for his profound commitment to the welcoming immigration and human diversity.In other words, ha ha, You messed with Israel, and we're gonna unleash terror inside your country.And if dozens of people get killed along the way, we're Israel, we don't care.
Were they Israeli?No, who cares?And so those were the Moroccans who were used as cannon fodder for this political trick.So it's not impossible, John, for Morocco to have been agree with Spain overall, historically, about this territory.That it's not impossible, that is true, right?So it's not impossible for that to be a factor, maybe a midsize factor, maybe a large factor.
Maybe they're aggrieved about the Algeria situation, that certainly could be a factor.And it could be that it's not just binary, that maybe the Moroccan government was itching to do this anyway.But did it happen right after Netanyahu threatened Spain?Did Israel basically brag about it afterwards, before and after?Yes, and it was certainly coordinated and gigantic and much larger than any other type of event like this.Leading me to wonder, is there anything that Israel is not involved in the world and that they don't somehow create giant messes in other people's countries?
purely for their own benefit?Is there no end to this madness from this one country terrorizing the world?
I mean, look, the entire situation is effed beyond repair.None of this is how anything to do with immigration is supposed to work.And even I, a person who obviously, I follow the news every day, I report on the news.Potentially, if it is as it's being described, this plot, it's a clever one because it's gonna be very hard for most people to follow.Most regular people are not gonna be able to conceive of this being how a tragedy on this scale could have been organized.Let alone, if it is that, and we've got this first day, I imagine that's not the end of it.

Get started freeI imagine, look, it looks like Spain is trying to jump into action, sort of get a handle on the situation.But I doubt that the entire thing was intended to just be a 24 hour inconvenience for Spain or whatever.So I'd be a little bit worried about what comes in the future.And again, as I said earlier, we should bear in mind, these states can play their power games on the international stage, but dozens of people lost their lives.They're dead floating in the ocean as a result of this.And I find that to be utterly grotesque.
This is not how any of this is supposed to work.And I worry that, as I said earlier, for a number of different reasons, particularly because foreign policy, it's gonna be hard to get a lot of people to necessarily follow along, let alone care.I mean, thankfully, I think the people watching now are probably much more likely than average.But this is the sort of thing that feels like they'll be able to get away with for the most part.
A couple of quick points on that.Number one, in terms of the human toll that you're referring to, why did half the people go back already?That was pretty quick, right?It's because this is a tiny little area, and they don't have anywhere near enough food or water.So when people realized, we were lied to, we're not gonna get the freedom, we're not gonna become citizens, they don't even have food or water here.Half of them went back immediately.
So, wow, look at that, people in positions of power lying to the average person.getting them killed, and making them go through incredible suffering.And look, the Israeli is not caring about non -Israeli lives 1%, I know, shocking.To be fair, the CIA does this kind of stuff all the time, and we don't seem to care too much about non -American lives, and all of that enrages me.But in terms of being able to get away with it, I would be shocked if we weren't one of the very few media outlets covering this.along with the Israeli press.
So if you, by the way, I really recommend reading the Israeli press.They are way more honest, and that's where we get a lot of our news.Some of them are just great reporters and outlets.And they have the ability to not get fired if they write something critical of Israel.In America, if you write something critical of Israel, you'll be called an anti -Semite and fired immediately.That's why almost no one ever writes anything critical about Israel.
You'll never learn the reality about Israel in the American press.They're almost sworn allegiance to that country.And whether they think it's because they're gonna get fired, or they just love Israel, or whatever other reasons they might have, but you're never gonna get the truth from our press.But the Israeli press is very forthcoming and they tell you about all their plots and plans and how they're, and then you've got, as I said, people in that country who brag about this type of stuff.But what'll happen here in America is if you tell them what we just told you.Guaranteed, somebody like Jake Tapper will burrow his frown, look down his nose and go, that's a conspiracy theory.
And he said, well, look, the Israelis admitted it.How dare you, you're anti -Semitic, for quoting Israelis?How dare you?Okay, so that's the kind of oppression that we live under in America.Now that oppression is visited upon Spain.And I don't know, I don't know if Israel can be stopped from any of these outrageous actions in our lifetime.
They seem to have, to say disproportionate power.would be an amazing understatement.No, this is a kind of power I've never seen in my lifetime.And honestly, John, I didn't know that anyone had.And maybe I was a little naive.Maybe I believed American news outlets too much.
And I used to think, I mean, come on, really?Are there these big conspiracies, etc?Now I look back on it and I'm like, Are governments going to cheat, lie, and steal for their own benefit?Well, almost every government does.So have we just been taught to be utter suckers here in America?The government doing something nefarious.
How dare you, you conspiracy theorists?No government would ever do that, let alone the American or Israeli government.Are you kidding me?How many people have we murdered in coups, etc?And we would never do it?The Israelis would never do it?
So I leave you on that question, John, of have we been suckers our whole life?
I mean, you're focusing on this area.I've come to that conclusion of basically every area, actually, for me. I don't know what's going on.Can I just say one final thing?I know that people in our audience have already discussed it, but the most moral army in the world is the most clownishly Orwellian thing I've ever heard in my life, I think.
Yeah, no, I mean, I think that the Israelis took 1984 as a how -to manual.And so rather than a warning, they're like, those are really good ideas.Let's say the exact opposite.I've got a good one, let's call ourselves the most moral army.Are all 23 ,000 children incinerated?Have we burned them all alive?
Good, good, check.Most moral army in the world.And John's absolutely right.It isn't about Israel.Israel's the tip of the iceberg.The iceberg is that our government and our media lies to us about almost everything.
They make it seem like it's normal that we don't have paid family leave.There's only us and two island nations that don't have paid family leave.The rest of the 200 nations on Earth have it.They think it's barbaric we don't have it.We can't afford it, we're the richest nation.We can afford every one of Israel's wars, but we can't afford for moms to take 12 weeks off after I have a baby.
They gotta go right back into the assembly lines and the coal mines, etc.Nothing but work and toil and money from us, and sometimes including the deaths of our soldiers.But the donors, big pharma, oil, defense contractors, Israel, they get everything.And the job of the media in America is to lie to you so you don't see that iceberg.
