"President of the Government"

Wikipedia refers to him as the Prime Minister and explains:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prime_Minister_of_Spain

The Spanish head of government is known, in Spanish, as the Presidente del Gobierno. Literally translated, title is "President of the Government" or alternatively "Chairman of the Government", but nevertheless the office-holder is commonly referred to in English as the "prime minister": the usual term for the head of government in a constitutional monarchy. However the Spanish for 'prime minister' is primer ministro; thus, for example, the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom is the Primer Ministro del Reino Unido, not the Presidente del Gobierno.

In Spain the President of the Government is often called simply Presidente, meaning 'President'. More than once this has caused embarrassing errors among foreign authorities, such as mistaking Spain for a republic. For example Jeb Bush, the Governor of Florida, mistakenly referred to the head of government as the "President of the Spanish Republic" during a visit to Spain in 2003.

The custom to name the head of government as "President" dates back from the reign of Isabella II of Spain, when the Prime Minister was called Presidente del Consejo de Ministros ("President of the Cabinet"). Before 1833 the figure was known as Secretario de Estado ("Secretary of State"), a denomination used today for junior ministers.

not true. real power lies within the sphere of wealth which funds and directs the figure head government. the king of Spain is a major European banker.

William Rodriquez is an impeccable asset to the 9/11 Truth movement. There were many twists and turns in the JFK case. New Orleans District Attorney Jim Garrison made the attempt to expose one dimension of the JFK plot in court. Jim Garrison concluded that JFK was a victim of the "military-industrial complex." Jim Garrison's case also diverted attention from Zapista Oil, operated by George Bush the First.

Willie Rodriquez focuses on what he personally saw and heard on 9/11. He is a self sacrificing 9/11 truth activist, with no ax to grind.

Thanks for your 9/11 truth work in France, John! We need you.

I have a hole in my memory and would like to refind information on the first hand witness of the assasination of JFK who gained a lot of respect from the public and was later on shown as a fraud. The court case showed that he was not even on the spot at the crime time. This damaged the case for that the official story was not true.

I have the actual video of William Rodriguez receiveing the National Hero Award from the Senate in Puerto Rico as well as the news clip from Telemundo. Also a picture of the award was posted way back on the internet. I will see if I can locate it or ask William to send a copy. I will post the video on youtube this week. As per your other questions, you should get his new video "Last Man Out" where some of your questions get corroborated. You mentioned Tania Head and as I understand Rodriguez was a consultant for the BBC on a new documentary about her, part of his visit to Spain was to get more info about her background. Since you had the oportunity to host Rodriguez in Paris, how come you did not raise those questions there? I will be sending him this link and he may contact you directly. You are doing what the person below did several months ago and did not there to face William when he offered a debate. Some Brian Good from San Franscisco. Are you both connected? As I understand, he did not have to visit Paris to support your group at all.

bonjour ,

looking forward to the video on youtube. Perhaps you can put a link to it on this page.

Thank you for the mention of his video "Last Man Out", I am going to try and find a copy on the internet.

When he was in PARIS at the conference there was little opportunity to ask a lot of questions.

There will an opening day for the 911 musuem ( ~6 June 2008) in France

Is George Bush coming ? It would be correct that William Rodriguez is invited. A double hero for saving so many lives and for standing up for the truth.

Yours
