Pedro Baños Bajo is a Spanish soldier, colonel of the Spanish Army (infantry) and a specialist in geostrategy, defense, security and jihadist "terrorism". He was scheduled to become Director of the Spanish Department of Homeland Security but after the Integrity Initiative determined that he was too "pro-Krelim" they engaged in intense lobbying against him and 6 days later the job was given instead to Miguel Ángel Ballesteros[1]. Shortly thereafter, his publisher withdrew support for his book and pulped undistributed stocks of both its Spanish and English editions. [2]

#NoPedroBaños
On June 7, 2018 it was announced[citation needed] that Baños would be made Director of the Spanish Department of Homeland Security. However, this came to the attention of the Spanish Cluster of the Integrity Initiative. Having labelled him a "well known pro-Kremlin voice" they began a campaign of lobbying against the appointment, preparing a dossier to give to the main Spanish media and organising a multiplicity of apparently independent objects on Twitter. Six days later the Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sánchez opted instead to appoint Miguel Ángel Ballesteros.
Publications

Penguin Random House Books stops support for the book
According to The Guardian the book publisher received complaints alleging the book was "antisemitic"[3] An initial internal investigation found no problem with it. This led author Jeremy Duns and the Campaign Against Antisemitism to question why certain passages in the Spanish edition had been omitted from the English edition. This led to an "independent external review" run by Jewish Rabbi and House of Lords member, Julia Neuberger which found “echoes of Jewish conspiracy theories in certain passages and references” in the Spanish-language edition. This in turn led the publisher to suspend support for the book in both its Spanish and English editions. [3]
The offending passages in the Spanish edition deal largely with the vast power wielded, both historically and contemporaneously, by the Rothschild banking dynasty primarily through the City of London. Removal of them for the English edition can thus be seen, prima facie, as further evidence of that power, since to talk of Jewish power, whether collective or individual, remains a rigidly enforced public discourse taboo in the English-speaking world and will naturally result in precisely this sort of censorship. The fact that Alexander Solzhenitsyn's historical tour de force 200 Years Together, has been unable to find an English publisher nearly 20 years after first appearing in Russian German and French, is likewise prima facie evidence of Jewish power
Penguin Random House are naturally tight-lipped about the matter.
