Spain to Catalonia: voting is illegal

[Zenaan Harkness]

OK, ok, slight exaggeration - voting in a secession referendum is
illegal, says Spain to Catalonia.

Since only States are sovereign, and not people (say the States),
secessionist referenda are illegal.

And besides, it's for your safety.

Crimea is a case in point - with a few million bullets fired, blood
on the streets and carnage the world has rarely seen, Crimeans paid a
high price for the reuniting with Russia.

Oh, it didn't quite go like that? Oh well, you know, voting is
illegal and all... and the State of Ukraine murdering it's own people
in a genocidal attempt to cause them to "reunite" with the other
land, we have a prime example of why the State must, at all times, be
granted ultimate sovereignty, and the people must be dominated with
bullets. And missiles. And land mines, shelling, RPGs and everything
else the state can muster, to establish order in the world.


"Democracy" loving Westerners both decry the Crimean's zero bullet
referendum (what a concept), whilst demanding the USA's "God" given
right to impose "democracy" by missile upon any unsuspecting nation
State that has some excess oil. Or lots of non-excess oil that the
USA wants. Or other resources...


And on and on the Western "moral high ground" hypocrisy goes...
Cue another ridiculous jnn rant in 3 ... 2 ...


What a world we live in.
