    This is strange because i am also disputing the right of Argentina to have its own domain, as having done some historical research I believe on the basis of the British occupation of Río de la Plata, Argentina is in fact part of Britain.

    I have been arguing with ICAAN to change the Argentine domain to .uk, this is a lengthy process but i can prove for a fact that the British did invade Río de la Plata. As we know this means that the UK owns Argentina.

    So why do they not accept it? I think we need to tighten the pressure on them, maybe we can intimidate them some, and place an economic blockade on them through UNASUL.

    I feel sorry for the Islanders and I really mean that as Desire will sell out to the big players as soon as they make a big strike and when the big guys take over the island's oil resources the islanders are going to get a very rude awakening as they will find themselves sliding into new world controlled by slick oil executives and even even greasier politicians who will happily sacrifice the aspirations of the islanders upon the altar of corporate and political opportunism.

    Don't understand what all the fuss is about.
    If the Falklands simply adopts .co.uk as their national domain (because they are currently under British sovereignty), it will surely make it harder for the Argies to intercept messages because they won't be able to figure out which ones are from the Islands and which ones are from the motherland!
    They will have shot themselves in the foot ....again!

    On the basis of the British invasion of Río de la Plata I have been able to establish that Argentina is in fact owned by Great Britain.

    I have been tabling a series of motions at the UN in order to officially establish this claim to Argentina. There is historical president for this, on the basis of an almost 200 year invasion of the Falkland Islands by a German and some British ex patriots, Argentina claims the Falkland Islands.

    I can establish as historical fact that Río de la Plata was invaded by Britain and that this claim was never renounced, there is over 200 years of continued British claim to Argentina.

    This makes all Argentines suject to British law and taxation. I am planning to get Buenos Aires renamed Port of Britain. Argentina will be called Bairdland, after the leader of British forces in the first occupation of Río de la Plata.

    It is important to state that this did not happen just once - as in the Argentine claim to the Falklands - but twice!

    Paul Schneider was a CIA man who suicided/was killed in the 1990's.

    He welcomed questions from the audience & answered them.
    Was he a fake or was he telling the truth? Who knows?
    You can find some of these interviews on youtube(unless they've been removed).
    Zeitgeist, is also on youtube. lt takes about 2 hours to watch and is in 3 parts.
    Part 1) shows how religion is not true.
    Part 2) shows how 9/11 was an inside job by the CIA.
