Galloway on EU Corruption and Catalan Independence

He mentions Catalonia. I think there is something going on behind the scenes, and I think it has to do with Andorra. If Catalonia had independence then Andorra would not have a Spanish frontier. But I can't find much on Andorra's economic status, except that it is some sort of French/Spanish "plurinational principality". It sounds like a little Malta to me. A country where ride-sharing butt-jockeys can get away with murder. From Wikipedia:

Believed to have been created by Charlemagne, Andorra was ruled by the Count of Urgell until 988, when it was transferred to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Urgell, and the present principality was formed by a charter in 1278. It is known as a principality as it is a diarchy headed by two Princes: the Catholic Bishop of Urgell in Catalonia, Spain, and the President of France.

...

In the 13th century, a military dispute arose between the Bishop of Urgell and the Count of Foix as aftermath of the Cathar Crusade. The conflict was resolved in 1278 with the mediation of the king of Aragon, Pere II between the Bishop and the Count, by the signing of the first paréage which provided that Andorra's sovereignty be shared between the count of Foix[37] (whose title would ultimately transfer to the French head of state) and the Bishop of Urgell, in Catalonia. This gave the principality its territory and political form.

That Mainstream Media demonize the Catalan protestors does not tell you anything about anything these days. People are trying to use meta-commentary to hint at hidden goings-on, but that is an endless, stupid game. We need secure communications, people!!!

I think this film is really not about Japan at all, ... I think it's about the European Central Bank. See from 1 Hour 22 minutes 32 seconds. It should have been called "Princes of the Euro":

And the social consequences of these gross disparities within an economic union are horrendous:

YouTube found this for me!

But Macron is not an heir, oh no, ... he's an heir-sol!
