This posting is dedicated to the victims of the terrible train crash that happened earlier today (January 19, 2026) near Córdoba.
Spain has a wonderful high-speed rail system which many people depend on and helps to drive the nation's economy. The Prime Minister of Spain, Pedro Sánchez, has vowed to get to the truth of all matters relating to the cause of the crash. Prior to this event, on April 28, 2025, Spain had suffered an almost nation-wide electricity outage. Incidentally, Spain has also been among the most vocal European countries in its opposition to the genocide that Israel is perpetrating in Gaza. Who knows?--maybe the Israeli government is somehow behind these unusual and nefarious proceedings. Just a thought. It's tempting to make these kinds of connections; downright unavoidable at times. And it would be entirely in keeping with the general breakdown of international norms (led by the United States) that is occurring in the world these days. But, surely, to even think such a thing would be to indulge in the worst kind of conspiracy theorizing--wouldn't it?
