Argentine navy frigate ‘Libertad’ retained in Ghana by group of defaulted bond holders
Argentina claimed on Wednesday that the navy school training frigate “Libertad” has been retained in Ghana and blamed “unscrupulous financers” belonging to “vulture funds” who are demanding the payment of sovereign bonds, said the office of Minister Hector Timerman in an official communiqué.
In a statement with the heading “An artful attack from the vulture funds against Argentina” the Foreign ministry said that the frigate Libertad has been delayed in Ghana because of a demand presented by the NML Group before the high court of that country.
“The Argentine Foreign ministry is already involved in the case informing the African authorities of the ‘scam’ mounted by these unscrupulous financers”, said the release from San Martin Palace.
From Ghana, Richard Anamoo head of ports authority said that he was acting on instructions from the high court. “The owners of the vessel will have to pay up or defend themselves in court”, he underlined.
The administration of President Cristina Fernandez has said that the measure is “a violation of the Vienna Convention on diplomatic immunity”.
Between 2005 and 2010, Argentina restructured 93% of its (2001) defaulted sovereign debt (approx 100bn dollars) with bond holders, but the remnant of bonds is in the hands of speculative funds or vulture funds, which demand total reimbursement of the debt plus interests by litigating before courts. Argentine also has a pending debt of 6.5bn dollars with the Paris Club of creditor nations.
According to the Argentine ministry report the NML Group belongs to “the international speculator Paul Singer and the main financer of the lobby which is acting before US courts and Congress under the name of ATFA (American Task Force Argentina) with the clear purpose of harming Argentina”
With the swap operations offered by Argentina during five years, it had the acceptance of big banks and international finance organizations which accepted the new bonds, most of them adjusted to inflation or GDP growth, claims Argentina.
But some financial groups have questioned Argentina’s stats regarding inflation (official rate is a third of private estimates), and the situation has seen the Cristina Fernandez administration even clash with the IMF.
“The NML vulture fund is seated in the Cayman Islands, ‘a fiscal paradise’ which we should remember is a British colony, from where these operators do not respect any legal jurisdictions and have been exposed both at the G20 and the UN”, points out the Foreign ministry release.
They also “systematically release false information on Argentina with the sole purpose of blackmailing Argentina to obtain usury profits”.
However, ATFA to which the NML group belongs accused Argentina of ‘mocking the legal system’.
“International creditors have over 100 favourable court sentences but Argentina refuses to comply with all and every one of them of those court orders” adds the text from the ATFA in Washington.
Argentina claims that this group of lobbyinst is the same that tried to harass President Cristina Fernandez during her recent visit to the US distributing aggressive pamphlets and literature to a visiting president. Allegedly they also mounted a huge inflated rat outside the Argentine embassy in Washington when the celebration of Independence Day.
NML claims and other holdouts have won temporary freezing of funds from Argentina’s Central bank and Nation bank in New York but Buenos Aires appealed to diplomatic immunity. For several years Argentina was forced to avoid the use of the presidential aircraft Tango 01, fearing it could be embargoes and retained in the US and in Germany.

Just ask the millions in their OWN countries and Europe/Asia that have been reduced to economic ruin by the financial cricis they created.
Argentina will play when they pay for the 10 trillion in unsecured derivatives they foisted on unsuspecting small investors and retirees around the planet.
Argentina pay off its debts? Not likely.....
10 trillion in derivatives floating around created by anglo-american “bright” thinking.
time to pay up.
This
is
HILARIOUS!
nice souvenir/trophy!
I also think you are confused when you say 'Argentina will pay once 10 trillion is paid'
1. What does that have to do with Argentina?
2. Argentina has no intention of paying anything and openly mocks international bodies that suggest it should
Because the issue is already settled. The hold-outs will simply slowly die, and that will be that.
What does this have to do with the Falklands, Brit? Wasn't that your only reason to care about Argentina in your troubled country, which probably will be broken up in a couple of years?
Yet here you are.
I will ignore the rest as its yet more off topic nonsense.
Why are you Brits here on a non-Falkland's issue??
Why do you dodge?
hahahahahaha, these brits are obsessed over everything about Argentina.
You can tell TiT is PARTICULARLY pissed about this article. First one to comment literally seconds after the article was posted, and he'll be here screaming and flailing about, every other comment or so, for the next few days ;D
You know, they say that you should always be careful what you wish for and I am guessing that the Ghanians heeded Kristinas calls to de-militarise the South Atlantic :-)
Everyday the debt gets higher and higher
Have you seen what the USA and EU did to Iran for not playing by the rules...Rial falling people rioting is that the near turn future for BA?
Methinks so
F-
The biggest violators of the rules enforcing the rules, you are amusing yankeeboy.
I still don't get it, why are all of you here? Non-Falklands issue. haha
They might take Sinopec out of Argentina though, since Argentina's unable to pay its debt, as usual.
Nevermind what we did to Iran for not playing by the rules, look what we did to Iraq, lol....look what we did to Argentina in the 70's.
Course this time we don't have to punish Argentina, its punishing itself well enough via Cristina ;D
Look what the Iraqis and Iranians did to New York and Washington.
hahahahahaha
(you think is funny huh, what you do to other countries)
Did the British impound it,
No
Anti British again, why not tell these naughty Africans off,
Or is CFK frightend.lol.
///////////////////////
Cfk has just spoken,
Send the armada, teach them a lesson, no one scares argentina,
[Defence] we don’t have one, boss,
CFK , where my navy send it sink them all,
[defence] we have nothing to send, you scrapped it all, in favour of talking,
CFK, well we need someone with a big mouth, who has no sense, and will humiliate us,
[Defence] we can send Susie and 2012]
CFK right tell Ghana she has 2 days or we send in susie2012,
,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
You are about to be humiliated again,
You have nothing , you can do nothing,
Still..
Ya love to talk.lolol.
mmm
Look what we did to your Dan Mitrione :)
Come again weasel, we will eat you, shit you out, bury the shit and put a gravestone where it says “yanqui, a piece of shit”
Never again
And, didn't Iran's GOV bombed Argentina?? They aren't very strong so they have more success attacking countries with jewish populations and weaker security.
There was a second, nearly successful attempt on.BsAs that the U.S. gov found out about and stopped.
And yet all that military might can't stop some rags with a bag pack of fertilizers?
hahahahahaha, that's why your country will be destroyed. From within.
I will NEVER go to piece of shit Argentina again! It's one of only two countries I've traveled through that I have NO interest in EVER returning.
And we both know you'll never see USA, since you're too poor and third world.
what are you argies going to do about it,
dont change the subject,
And Argentina was destroyed again in 2001, and destroyed continuously for the last 50 years, LOL
[or as they are saying in Ghana ]
Don’t cry to me CFK .
Come and get it, if you really want it.
.
What has the UK done about Argentina harrasing the Falklands HAHAHAHAHA
If you think we should do something stupid for a lousy boat, then you would think magnitudes more should be done by the UK to defeind their people. Yet all the policies CFK placed on them remain.
It's been a year now, and all I heard is the UK would respond.
Where? lol

Thoroughly destroyed! Pictures never lie.
Libertarian economy.
I'm Uruguayan, remember the little country were your Mitrione was put to justice by the people? The little electrocuting torturer you sent to train your fascist friends, of course you remember him...
I could not care less were you travel to, but you are referring to the 70's as something you take pride in. Come again as you did back then, and I will bloom in my atheism...
Uruguay's a good country, and if you really are Uruguayo, which I doubt, I think you're probly Argentine...but if you really are Uruguayo, then you're a disgrace, siding with a nation that's been bullying yours for decades.
Also Guzz, its really all dependent on your perspective. USA was trying to train Uruguayan police to maintain the peace and stability....at all costs. This was both to protect US financial interests in the country, as well as to protect your own prosperity....which you lost due to the instability brought on by your rebellion. Even Mujica agrees, and regrets having taken part in the violent uprisings.
Cuba's the perfect example. It was a land of riches, the locals all had good paying jobs and a good life. Sure, they weren't as wealthy as many of the US tourists visiting, but their lives were SO much better than now. Now they're poor, living in shabby conditions, all the infrastructure is totally falling apart. If Cubans had behaved, and not destabilized itself, it would be like Hawaii in wealth, like a giant Disneyland today, full of wealthy, happy people with great infrastructure.
Which we should remember is a British colony, from where these operators do not respect any legal jurisdictions,,
So it’s the fault of the British [again]
Then…..
adds the text from the ATFA in Washington.
Argentina claims that this group of lobbyinst is the same that tried to harass President Cristina Fernandez during her recent visit to the US distributing aggressive pamphlets and literature to a visiting president.
And it’s the fault of the Americans [again ]
//////////////

Ya couldn’t make it up, if ya tried.
Still,
Will you tell her?
Or shall we.
[ps]
you havent actualy done any harm to us, you keep and go just so far, then run away.
.
I tell you what I told the other yanqui, I don't care where you travel, don't give a flying fook whatsoever. Just try to do what you did in the 70's, though. We don't want your wealth, Disneylands and infrastructure. In order to achieve that, we would have to compete with you lot exploiting the rest of the world for resources. All we want is for you lot to stay the hell away. As tourists, do as you please. Come, or don't.
As a result Ghana scores a win-win. Argentina has nothing to fear here. Good evening to all.
Kendall Zepher Coffey
Hahahah, that's such a pathetic excuse. You can't do squat. I mean its your own people here...
And you think we'll do something for a boat, which I'm sure will be released shortly.
You have to compete no matter what. If you are an athiest, then that means you understand we live in a system of evolution. Evolution = survival of the fittest, competition.
Cuba didn't really have to compete, Americans flooded in nonstop with tourism dollars to enjoy the culture, and that was it, no competition really needed, it was the #1 choice to spend tourism dollars from USA.
90 percent or more of Uruguayans would disagree with you Guzz, they DO want American tourism dollars, and foreign investment (although many don't want mines, there are other forms of investment that they would like, and certainly better paying jobs.)
Blaming the US/white man for your problems is like an Argentina or an African, you have to raise yourself above that and wipe your own bottom, take care of your own problems, and better yourself.
If you don't like something, become successful, wealthy, powerful enough to change it.....but sitting around and complaining about it achieves NOTHING. Just makes you look like a fool, aka an Argentina or African, and keeps you poor, angry, and unhappy.
Blow us up with what? 300 combine cruise missiles and ready-go high altitude bombs? On a country 10 times as large?
The more you Brits write the more I get my daily dose of serotonin and dopamine.
Regarding poverty I say what my President said and a few before him, poor is not the one that has little, but the one who needs endlessly more...
Shovel your wealth, system and disneyland, keep your stolen resources and choke on it...
Strung? I'm just giddy at how easily I refute all the poor points by feeble anglo minds.
no one mentioned missiles,
just you.
but what is CFK going to do,
or shall we sit back and wait.
Why should she do anything but use diplomatic words? It's a BOAT. It's not like not people being blockaded, now that would be something that a brave nation would respond to strongly (even if the blockade is not full or impenetrable).
And I read above some poster saying that he knows about law and that this is just a losing cause for the loser hold-outs. As usual, they will be left with nothing.
this could turn out to be great fun to watch.lol.
You not only don't speak for most Uruguayos, you don't speak for any. You are a disgrace to your nation, and more than 90 percent of Urugauyans disagree with your bs.
I can assure you that I speak for more Uruguayos than you...
I can tell you one thing, Mendoza will be even better looking than now, with 3 new metro lines, yet another freeway, and 2 new dams, and 5 new shopping malls.
hahahahah
And if it weren't for Argentina and Brazil forcing your own gov to begin the dictatorship, you probly never would have, fyi. Also Mitrione practiced his trade before you, in Brazil, and was recommended by Brazilian gov to yours.
You know so little of your own history.
Your Maximo man-love reminds me that I have a similar analogy: The only time the Brits even approach being “honest and candid” is when they parade naked in a Las Vegas motel or around some French villa's terrace.
I think that is why you people love bearing it all, as displayed by your prurient royals. Being incapable of oral honesty, just be intercoursally honest.
It was also well known (though I'm sure an idiot like you don't know this, you're the ONLY Uruguayan who doesn't) that Brazil and Argentina were placing GREAT pressure on Uruguay to begin the military dictatorship, and were essentially threatening war if they didn't.
Your neighbors, who you believe to be your friends, betrayed you, and continue to betray you.
yanqui, I don't know from which reservoir you are fed your crap. It was YOU in Arg, YOU in Bra, YOU in Chi and YOU in Uru, as in Cuba, Nicaragua, Guatemala, Haiti, Panama... The list is endless.
You are a bunch of torturers, murderers and kidnappers of children. You and our very own oligarchy that helped you out in your atrocities.

And if you had just acted like rational people, instead of destabilizing yourselves with violent revolution and blaming others, you'd be rich today, and no dictatorship would have ever come about.
To keep from being stepped on, you have to be the one that steps on others.
If USA simply let Iran grow and become ever more belligerent, eventually Iran would be launching nukes on USA and economic sanctions.
Eat or be eaten. You can idealize all you want, and fantasize about a better world, but we live in evolution, so either accept reality and prosper....or get angry and unhappy about the way it is.
So why do Americans condemn the terrorist attacks on New York and Washington? Its part of evolution, they saw a weakness in your defenses and took off with them (pun intended)
That's all well should your economical system prevail, which it wont. Personally, I'd love China to exchange her dollars tomorrow, that would be fun :)
What politicians SAY is all about pretenses, facade, etc....what they DO is about winning.
Our politicians say they're about human rights n all that BS, but that's just so other nations don't get their panties in a twist, and for votes from idealistic idiots.
Our politicians do what they feel they need to do, to protect our investments, and security. Words mean nothing, but its what idiots like you Argie trolls listen to. Actions mean all.
You won? You WON?
govinfo.library.unt.edu/911/report/911Report_Exec.htm
So everytime they carry an attack it will cost them 500.000 dollars, and your retaliation will cost 1.5 trillion.
Repeat the cycle a couople more times.
Bye bye USA (and it won't be terrorism that brings your end in that cycle). lol
Most U.S. gov debt is held INTERNALLY, by pension funds and municipal governments.
China is the largest EXTERNAL holder, for a reason- because our fortunes are interconnected :))
China's economy is HALF the size of the world's biggest.
they killed like 2000 ppl, we killed millions, we won, we got all their top guys, all their leaders and then some, plus tens of thousands of foot soldiers
Don't get so JEALOUS that your face turns bright red and explodes, you poor Argies, with your rusting old piece of shit military
Fact.
hahahahahahahahaha
USA : never bankrupt, always able to print the very thing Arg gov is DESPERATE for, the US dollar
ROFLMFAO
All the good technology comes from Asia.
All the good style comes from Europe.
All the good produce comes from Latin America.
USA? Bad cars, no new tech, shitty style, nasty food.
That's the future of the USA, decline, decline, decline. Further insignificance as time passes.
Heck your charts increasingly are dominated by Latino, European, and now ASIAN music! That is a clear sign of decline, when the youth of your country follow the trends and styles of other places (youth is VERY GOOD at picking up where the power/influence is going... and its going away from you) lol

-global EXTREME poverty line according to UN and World Bank: 1.25 US Dollars a day
-poverty line in USA: 30 US dollars per day
LOL! poverty line in USA = FIFTEEN times wealthier than Argentine
LOL poverty line in Arg is the same as Africa, and same as global EXTREME poverty
No, I'm a wealthy man ;)
Does anyone know what masterblowjb is fuming? Any organization in Argentina define poverty as making 350 pesos a month? Even for the INDEC, poverty for one person is an income of less than 1.200 and 1.900 for a family of four.
Let him keep smoking, understandable given the sorry state of his country.
We just have to sit back and watch the show, the fall of an empire
Come on China, carajo :)
lol, Cristina considers it 13 pesos a day. Which is 2 dollars.
lol yea, the fact I'm wealthy means I'll drop from a great height....
Or, back to the real world, it means I'll finish traveling the entire world, and then build my dream house in Hawaii (paradise). ;D
Every single one says they have been to the 5 continents and 8 seas...
These foreigners, do they ever factor.
These lower class poor bum populist voters who follow their handout leaders anywhere, but can't afford to travel more than a kilometer past their front door.
So you see, you are in my turf. I could keep debating my whole life here and not leave my province, because the topic is always Argentina, Argentina, Argetina.
hahahahahahahahahaha
I know, in the UK those who speak truths are “lunatics”.
Kinda like in Argentina those that eat chicken instead of meat and rice instead of pasta are seen the same way.
Those things which are not part of your national essence, seem at best burlesque, and usually just plain insane.
But you are right about Argentina vs the world. That's the way Argies see things, and its because they have no friends, they've made enemies of everyone, even China, even their neighbors.
What's this obsession people here with people travelling? I just don't make it a big issue, since I just find it plainly comical, but do you believe I swallow the fairy tales that everyone here has travelled all over the world and all over Argentina? EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU??
hahahaha, yeah I'm insane. I'm the only honest person here. I don't need to say I've travelled all over, that I have servants, that I live in a penthouse or blah blah blah.
Funny how all of you blast me for bragging about my education in terms of languages, vocabulary, science, etc. Yet I worked for those things, and education is far more honorable than wealth. Yet you all flaunt and (lie) about your wealth. hahaha
Why have friends who see you as beneath them? We just have the balls to stand up to such arrogance.
So? And not it is not the flagship. We ain't paying, not until you pay the damage EU, US, and UK banks caused to the world economy (mostly your own).
A querulant (from the Latin querulus - “complaining”) is a person who obsessively feels wronged, particularly about minor causes of action. In particular the term is used for those who repeatedly petition authorities or pursue legal actions based on manifestly unfounded grounds. These applications include in particular complaints about petty offenses.
Querulant behavior is to be distinguished from either the obsessive pursuit of justice regarding major injustices, or the proportionate, reasonable, pursuit of justice regarding minor grievances. According to Mullen and Lester, the life of the querulant individual becomes consumed by their personal pursuit of justice in relation to minor grievances.[1]
In psychiatry, the terms querulous paranoia (Kraepelin, 1904)[2][1] and litigious paranoia[3] have been used to describe a paranoid condition which manifested itself in querulant behavior. The terms had until recently largely disappeared from the psychiatric literature, largely because they fell out of fashion after being misused to stigmatise the behavior of people seeking the resolution of valid grievances.[4] In the DSM-IV-TR, “querulous paranoia” is a subtype of the persecutory type of delusional disorder.[5] It also appears in ICD-10, under its Latin name Paranoia querulans, in section F22.8, ”Other persistent delusional disorders.
Don't you just love Wiki, seek and ye shall find, logial explanations for all sorts of absurd behaviours.
Who am I to stop you brits. I personally urge forward with this, winning PR maneuver, hahaha.
Rather puzzled by his comments about travelling too. Most of the middle class in the UK have been all over the world - though South America is probably one of the last places on the list. Not because of anything in particular to put them off but more because there's nothing in particular to attract them. Makes me believe TTT is actually Argentine after all.
As for the article - Argentina has tried it's usual trick of trying to blame it's favourite bogeymen for everything. They seem to need to get the word “colonialism” into every press release. As the rest of the world just rolls it's eyes it can only be for domestic consumption - what does that say about the domestic mentality? It seems to have the same effect as a dog whistle in a kennel
Almost all the problems in the world are your fault Europeans. You can say it isn't so, and keep saying it to yourselves, but that's just the sad fact. You are to blame.
The conflicts in Africa, the Middle east, Iran, the economic crisis (with the Americans)... it's all your fault. Lousy.
I've been all over Europe, North America and Asia and I'm probably one of the least well travelled among my friends. Even if you just holiday once a year it doesn't take long to rack up the continents. I guess you are just judging others by your own standards.
I have yet to meet one European or American on this website who has not been to at least 4 continents.
suuuuure.
Think about how irrational you all are: you expect meto believe that every single one of you have travelled the world. If you were in my position, would you really believe such a coincidental concentration of globe trekkers?
You clearly don't get it. There's no need for a 'concentration' - it's like being surprised that everyone claims to own a TV.

North America, South America, Asia, Europe, Australia, the Middle East.
There you go. You can now proudly say you have met one. Well. One who actually spoke about it.
Nice looking ship though I must say.
Of course, TiT wants to know why we are all here on a non-Falklands issue. It's because we like to see you lot suffer, TiT. We enjoy watching you fall flat on your faces. We are pleased to see you getting a tiny portion of your come-uppance. We look forward to seeing more!
On the contrary, the majority of middle class earners will regularly holiday abroad. Maybe not the case for lower earners or young families as in my case many years ago, though over the last ten years as my kids have flown the nest & mortgage has been paid off have made a point of seeing the world (only 3 continents so far). It may be of a surprise to you, but, it is actually cheaper in many cases to holiday abroad than it is to holiday in the UK.
According to a recent ABTA report...
“Up to 13 million holidaymakers will be heading overseas in July and August, according to Abta.
The organisation said 90% of these would be visiting Mediterranean countries, which British tourists are favouring due to the strength of the pound against the euro.
Abta said its research also showed that three million people intend to attend Olympic events in London and the UK this summer.”
So that's 13 million in just July & August, less those who decided to go to the Olympics instead.
The majority of that 13 million will be families taking breaks during the school holidays, then consider the rest of the year when many prefer the cooler months to holiday.
So it may seem odd to you that many of us have travelled considerably, but you must remember when the US/UK/EU hit hard times our lower classes are probably better off than your middle to upper classes.
Not to worry, it's tough being an Arge.
reading the venom and distraction from the Arg trolls, all highly amusing and shows the mounting pressure on Argentina is biting.
more deluded RG rant please, ITS ALL GOOD!! :)
The world has been very patience with this arrogant and whiny child now it is time to teach them to behave and that their actions have consequences.
In Argentina itself , the borders are wide open and the worst crime hotspots in the slums are not being policed .
TiT/Guzz/etc want to talk about the foreign travel habits of UK citizens ???
Needless to say , not a word from Kretina .
Oh for the wings , of a dove....
Coup coup.....
They are in the right these scumbags took a punt on worthless debt with the idea if they held out of talks on bankruptcy they could claim the whole lot.
They are truly vultures they have been banned form uk courts when oxfam thinks your a scumbag and states it publicly idealy the argentine goverment would invtie them onto a c130 and drop them in the sea parasitical scum.
@36 You are on the wrong thread my friend. You're looking for a sane thread where contributors try to help each other. This is the 'hurl abuse at the other side' thread.
@114 I've been to Europe, Asia, Australisia, Africa and North America, lots and lots of different places - never made it to South America for the precise reason someone gave earlier, it's a long way and no specific reason to go there when there are still lots of other places I'd like to visit. It's true what they say, travel broadens the mind, which may be why your nickname, TiT, is so well deserved.
What a shame you lost a ship. What an even bigger shame CFK is crumbling.
What a shame you never had a proper education.
What a shame you don't have the Falkland islands either.
What a shame you don't like it when someone talks about Argentine politics.
What a shame we Islanders are enjoying our way of life.
What a real shame that no one in the world is actually listening to you Argentina.
Beutifull day on the Falklands no riots or poverty.
I am glad to see all of these inane policies of the Ks coming home to roost. The walls are closing in
I hope her beach house in Venezuela is ready
I wonder who will protect her when Chavez is dead
I doubt we would let her stay in the USA
Maybe somewhere in Africa
Where to deranged dictators live out their days

Since you love seeing Argentina destroyed (keep trying), all I can say is.
Long live Al QAEDA all over the USA, UK, and Europe? This is the first time I openly support them.
@142
Who cares.
“Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry and narrow-mindness2 - Mark Twain
”The worldis a book and those who do not travel only read the first page” - St Augustine.
Perhaps you should venture out of your front door and broaden your mind as you are obviously still on the first page.
You people have no shame do you. Look at how Argentina is trashed in this website. Do you really expect me to remain silent?
And doesn't everyone here claim to have travelled to Argentina? (except those who then say they have been everywhere but South America, because you know, it is not worthy of their presence... isn't funny how when they needed it for their argument, the argie-haters have been to every corner and nook of the country... but when they want to hand out a “subtle snipe” at Argentina the same people say South America is not somewhere they would ever travel to.... not important, unlike every other continent).
And yet look at how they either completely lie about everything or mislead in all they say?
I really have learned to hate you all. I won't feel bad the next time terrorism befalls you. I'm not joking, you deserve it for being the arrogant, racist, assholes you are.
The “protests” (more like a strike since there was no violence), are winding down. And how pathetic your basking in Schadenfreude. That is all the UK has left, no achievements of their own, just the consolation of trying to feel less miserable by fossicking around the globe to see if others have it worse.
And believe me, we hate you brits and Europeans more than ever. I personally am making sure all my friends learn to hate you, and will teach my children to hate you.
I remain steadfast in the Falklands not being harrased by us.
But I have learned to have deep animus and loathing for you old worlders, and north americans. I will no longer feel sorry for you when you are attacked by extremists, and will teach anyone who will listen to distrust you, and to treat you with contempt as you see us. Because there is nothing better about you and your countries, in fact worse, because you think you are better than others.
So thank you for that. Thank you for creating new enemies, because believe me, Argentina will be your enemy for a long, long time. Just pray you can keep your military, and that we can't, today, tomorrow, and 50 years from now.
I will never forget to dislike you.
Later.
Remember, your preciouse botox Queen started the Brit bashing, you're only geting what you deserve.
“And believe me, we hate you brits and Europeans more than ever. I personally am making sure all my friends learn to hate you, and will teach my children to hate you”
The ramblings of a hurt child.
What makes you so sure you will have children? the way gay rights & the increase in transvestites is going you will be lucky to find anyone to bear them for you
@148 Apparently more to follow, BUT, not in Tobias's little fantasy world.
I have never seen a country were there is so many work stoppages from the federal government. The winds of discontent are certainly stiffening to to gale.
@ Idlehands, TiT hasn't not done “much” traveling, he admittedly hasn't done ANY!
Most people in middle income or better countries travel. Most even lower income country inhabitants at least leave their town. TiT can't even leave his own town, he admits this. So either he's a cripple, or poor as FUCK!
I feel bad for the poor cripple. But even though he finds it hard to believe we've traveled, doesn't change the fact that we have.
Just watching the 1 O'Clock news on C5N.The Prefectura and Gendarmeria are still on strike and will be till tuesday.
You see Tittie , Marxist bluster and bullshit does not work in the 21st Century , whilst there is a free press to report what is really going on .
The protest on Avenida Madero can be heard from the Rosada and the expensive flats in Puerto Madero itself......
I wonder why other groups have not joined in yet? Is there another holiday this weekend?
@151 Perhaps it is you that should learn. Why do so many people want to see you humiliated, beaten (again), trashed, impoverished, dead? Think about it. Sorry, “thinking” is beyond you. In the meantime, until you see sense, the only “good” argie is a dead argie. There are probably at least 20 million argies “surplus to requirements”.
@153 Until tomorrow! In the meantime, you still need to be dead!
@154 So f*** off. You will not be missed. In fact, I will be sure to tell my friends in the British armed forces not to “miss” you. YOU ARE a TARGET!
Incidentally, 10 years from now, argieland won't exist. It will have been returned, probably by the British, to the original Amerindian owners.
I love you man - you just made my day :) Top shelf entertainment while having dinner. Who needs a television when we have TiT? And I'm impressed - seriously - you out ramble yourself day after day. That a skill.
Think I'll start a fan page on Facebook in your honor TiT. Then everyone who comes across your wise words can post it there. That how we can collect the best of the best, a sort of TiT's greatest :)))))))
Ps: For your statistics, I've been to 35 countries on 6 different continents and live in a penthouse (...although, it's only a 1 room), I belong to the middle class, work as a teacher and got plenty of money. ;)
www.facebook.com/TruthTellingTroll?ref=ts&fref=ts
If you are on the internet broadcasting how much you hate this that and the other and how you want people to become victims of terrorism then I think you need to take a break from it. It's not a healthy mindset and everyone is going to laugh at you.
Makes you wonder if the economic carastrophe that's been confidently predicted every day for the last 3 years might actually be starting to happen. Otherwise I'm struggling to fathom why the tone of posts has darkened so dramatically. It's certainly been an afternoon to pull up a chair and nuke some popcorn.
You are such stupid child! making such comments about sussie 2012...
The situation will be resolve...I repeat, my country Argentina is having difficult economic times!
How about the USA, my second country,,,,,/////>>>>>having TWO BILLONS DOLLARS frozen monies from the IRAQUI GOVERMENT UNACCOUNTABLE?...
Obama promised “goverment transparency”....but he meant to keep lying....
How about your english citizen ex Duchess of Pork, Fergie Ferguson trying to cash $700,000 releasing personal about her ex-husband Prince Andrew?
You should mind your United Kingdom of rubbish bloody english people ...get lost UK WIMP!
By the way, Euro middle class doesn't travel outside Europe every year, and lately, more and more spend their vacation within their own borders...
Just out of curiosity, what condition was TiT in when he left? He's had a hard day at the office.
LMFAO
You must be the only Uruguayan except your feeble minded drunk commie President that actually still sucks up to CFK and Argentina.
I heard your real estate is crashing right along with theirs. Think CFK will send you some U$ to tied you over while their economy crashes? I don't.
I'm starting to think TiT is actually a cripple. He admittedly has never left his town, by his own admission! Not even left his TOWN!
And sits here day n night spamming on Mercopress.....me thinks a cripple in a wheelchair in front of a computer screen.

I love watching this collapse. I have hated the Ks for years it is too bad Nestor is dead and can't see his wife f'up his legacy.
LOL I would pay for a ring side seat to watch this if it ever came to court!! this would be better than a heavywieght boxing match!!
It would be like an episode of “total wipeout” only with all the amusing falling over.............
I have seen three Tall ship races and there is something emotive to see a tall ship in full sail. They belong out at sea.
I admit to being jealous of the Argentine having a ship like this. For a maritime nation like the UK, who built the finest clippers - Cutty Sark and Thermopylae - why could we not have built a modern version as a floating - and sailing -monument to our past.
It would give our shipyards - the few that are left - some well needed work.
Don't like the truth, eh troll?

@149 it's amusing watching you grab at anything when you are short circuited. That's the thing about children such as yourself, unable to maintain composure. Really a scoccer match? You're an angry little boy and momma needs to paddle your ass but good.
No worries tit, you don;t live in argentina to see it's rebirth after they hang asslips kirchner for making argentina the anus of the world.

2018 IMF says, ten years, says others. Either way, capitalism is assuring itself plenty of time to deal with your middle class.
Healthcare is worse than ever in Europe, in USA inexistant if you aren't in the money, the population is getting older and there are fewer and fewer hands to watch after then. Overall population in Europe is declining and of the ones that do reproduce themselves, 70% and immigrants from non european countries.
You lot seem to have buckloads of issues, the destiny of an Arg vessel withheld by pirates being your point of focus... Why don't you try something new and live as you preach others to??

Designer brands, though, are stuck because they have to import all their products: Escada's fashions are supposed to flow from its headquarters in Luxembourg, after all, and who would buy Louis Vuitton knowing it's stitched in provincial Argentina, rather than some glamorous corner of France?
Scotland still has the best quality of engineering (although the industry's being scaled down).
Scotland is still leading the world with renewable engineering projects.
Scotland, for its size, is the single most technically gifted population in the world- fact. The world envies our gift for excellency (just stating the truth without sounding arrogant)
Scotland is the country in the UK with the least debt, and only one with a budget surplus. Our country is far, far away from default.
On politics, just remember that most Scottish, and probably English too, opposed the current wars but were unable to change it as there weren't enough people protesting on the streets.
And to re-state, you are the uneducated one as you say that you hate ALL Europeans, not the ones who caused your so-called 'problems'. Not us.
@170 Nice to see you're back on here Guzz. How are you doing?

@202 Conqueror/Captain Poppy=same UK WIMP..
CHINA OWNS THE USA....WHAT ARE YOU DOING FOR YOUR “COUNTRY”
Having slogged through most of the posts here I find nothing has changed.
It's all the fault of:
1) The holdouts taking advantage of that superb edifice of financial probity that is AG, AGAIN;
2) Oh no, it's the Brits again letting the holdouts hole up in a tax haven. AG needs to be careful here, I would not be surprised if TMBOA had a few million stashed away there;
2) Diplomatic immunity for a training ship: the flagship of the AG fleet no less. Oh, you just HAVE to laugh at that statement. The UK has the Victory as a notional flagship, a vessel with a tremendous record of stuffing the Spanish; when they found the courage to venture out of port, so frightened of the British were they! I think I see a parallel with AG here, only they send out a training ship full of diplomats!
3) And let's not forget the USA who has judged against AG. How dare they do that to a sovereign country that has NEVER done anything wrong in the history of the world? Everyone knows how TMBOA TOLD the world at the UN how they had caused ALL the grief to AG. Do they not believe her?
Oh! I can't go on for the tears of laughter blinding the keyboard. How funny. How hilarious. How utterly and completely predictable.
I wonder who got the short straw to tell her the ship was impounded and had to endure a purple rage from TMBOA about 'can't you fcuking idiots get anything right? Have I got to do everything for you!!' - goes on until she blacks out due to oxygen starvation to what is laughingly referred to as her 'brain'.
But, Yankeeboy, me and others said this was coming: AND now it's here. Things are only going to get better (for us that is).
LOL to the power googol!

“Is there another holiday this weekend?”
Yes there is, and considering the hate spouting from Truth_Telling_MickeyMouse and Tobias it is very appropriately called “Dia del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural” = “The day of respect for cultural diversity”. This day is actually 12 October but it has been moved to Monday 8 Oct to be part of a long weekend.
Do not be taken in by Guzz.
If by any chance he does hold Uruguayan papers it's not because he's a real Uruguayan but only because one of both of his parents were Uruguayan terrorists who helped in the attempts of the Tupamaros and their fellow travellers to bring down a democratic government by particularly cowardly murder, kidnapping, bank robberies, bombings, etc. Many of these enemies of democracy were granted political asylum in Sweden, which may be Guzz’s native country.
The present day MPP party in Uruguay has come a long way from its unsavoury origins in MLN-Tupamaro terrorism, which brought about an equally despicable dictatorship.
Guzz has stated he lives in Europe. This may well be true, as he is clearly not in touch with the man in the street in Uruguay, and cannot accurately put across current Uruguayan thought. His knowledge of present-day Uruguay is limited to what’s available on the internet.
On the other hand perhaps he has no Uruguayan forebears, and is merely a CFK hireling trolling out a living.

a press release thanking Ghana for supporting RGland in their illegitimate claims in the British South Atlantic?
???? I see u making a firm stand in this dispute! Right-on, u clever little scientific linguist :-)
TIT for el president..... Now that would be funny! Youd get to use your theasuarus alot more!
If Tinman declares war , it would be an equal contest :
QUOTE : The Ghanaian Army relies on a mix of modern military technology and older varieties. While modern M16s and equipment are standard issue, much of the secondary equipment used by the Ghanaian military is generally older than that used in Western military forces, and Ghanaian troops frequently rely on British, Brazilian, Swiss, Swedish, Israeli, and Finnish weaponry.
The navy is only 2000 strong .
If Argentina still had the 25 de Mayo ( a former British carrier ) it would be a walkover .
TiT/2012/Malvinero where is your national pride?
Go to the Plaza and demand Kretina sends a task force now...
The boys may want cash up front , as the naval NCO's are out on strike as well now .
If Tinman declares war on Ghana it'd be interesting to see just what Argentina could actually do.
On the other hand Ghana is a commonwealth country, and could call on other members to support them should they be attacked.
Argentina's couldn't declare war, because none of their naval or air assets are capable of crossing the Atlantic (with the exception of the impounded vessel).
No the Argentine government and their supporters will resort to form and blame the big bad world for picking on them.
It will be interesting to see if they cough up the US$ 10 million to get their ship back.
As for national pride, the more the Argentine public allows this bunch of clowns to run their country, the more they realise that they no longer have any pride.
I think its hilarious
It would be very argentine to play out the whole thing on the live news .
Maybe Kretina should do what she did with Angola and give the president a cow .
Aren't you going to enlist & save your precious Argentina against the Ghanian hordes?
Here's your chance to be a true Argentine Hero, up there with Rivero, you know, the hero “who led the resistance” haw haw haw.
Come on, out from under the bed.
There's no more room under there with Think, Marcos, Malvinero1 etc etc.
That's so funny!
I bet they would fight over the turnips if they could.
LOL
It makes you look a lot worse than the people it is aimed at, and every insult to Argentinians is yet more proof to them that are winning the moral battle.
Frankly some of the insults from so-called Brits is highly embarassing and can do nothing else other than reflect badly on Britian, the British and by association: the Falklands Islanders.
One Falklander, and I can tell where you are posting from, and I, for one, will cease and desist at once!

YOU STUPID CHILD!
Yes you can say anything you like, but then everyone has that right. You insult people then complain when they respond in a similar manner.
Perhaps you should try some reasoned arguments, instead of insults. Then people would respond in kind. Insult them and they'll respond in kind to that too.
You say no one tells you what to do. Well that isn't true. The tax man tells you to pay tax. The government tells you to abide by the laws of your country. Everyone in the world is told what to do by someone, somewhere along the line. If we didn't have this, anarchy would reign, and then you'd probably still be told what to do by whoever had the biggest gun. :)
But back to the thread. This is going to be a tricky test for CFK and her government. How they handle the matter will be closely observed by the international community and Argentine citizens.
It'll be interesting to see how this plays out. Either they will pay the bond, or they will just have to accept that their ship now belongs to the bond holders.
Whatever Kretina does, cannot wash away this humilliation that every one of us feels about the seizing of a national icon.
The kirchnerite plague will be remembered for ever for this insult to the people of Argentina.
Then why are you not in Ghana for your queen.
Or are you frighten they will laugh as you come out of the water, drip drip.

Course he would, terribly wounded in the foot by a GSW, just ignore the tell tale signs of powder burns!!!!!!!
Now I understand, it all makes sense, you must have been raped by someone Jewish! Anyway, here's one Jew who would love to meet you, name the time and place!
Also yourself!
Oh dear, oh dear, generalising again.
As I PAY taxes in Uruguay and you have 'stated' that, as an incomer I do not, I think it entitles me to ask a question:
as you were exiled with your parents because of their illegal activities and brought up in north Europe and so spend only a short time in this lovely country DO YOU pay income taxes here?
Simple question, YES or NO.
Did you know even an austere UK is nicer, cleaner, safer than a booming BA? I bet if you went to London you wouldn't even know they are having some problems. Yet you go to BA and what do you see, marxist graffiti, broken sidewalks, garbage piled on corners, people getting robbed every minute of every day, kidnappings, over crowded broken streets, empty restaurants and hotels, closed up shops all along the best avenues and malls, filthy dirty kids begging EVERYWHERE, filthy teens juggling in the streets for coins, Still after ten yrs of boom ( lies) cartanaros EVERY NIGHT and this during a supposed recovery!!!...shall I go on?
Never said you escaped taxes from Uruguay, more so from UK. Following your rants, you aren't in Uruguay for its elevated quality of life...
As for my exile, the difference lay in that I didn't choose it.
yanqui
At least we can go to school without getting shot...
Then you evidently ahve not read my 'rants' (and that from someone who rants and raves all the while) because we are here for the long term health of my wife and because we loved the place when we visited to check it out.
We also get a better standard of living in general though the claims of others that Uruguay is 'cheap to live in' is not really the case and most certainly not the case for locals.
Hms goose green anyone :)?
And the politicians are all millionaires, look at the latest news on Timerman's daughter Jordana and her wedding - oh but if you're in Argentina you can access this website link, they have it blocked (censored) because people have made what they consider to be negative remarks (but all true of course) about the Argie Kretina circus government:
www.ripoffreport.com/jordana-timerman-and/government-worker/buenos-aires-other-7f381.htm
Undoubtedly so at present though there are similarities: the two governments have equal numbers of idiotas in them, from the PM/President down.
But what has 'take off the metal band' got to do with anything?
Lets hope we shall soon see her flying the White Ensign!

Why 0.5 and not 1?
...because that (1) would be “Whimp”... (the american spelling obviously lessening the effect even further).
I mean, if you are going to take the time to insult somebody at least make it worthwhile.
Reminds me of a chap (from the USA) who, in the eraly days of the internet, came onto BBS and forums throwing around the term “Cheeky Monkey” at every Brit he could find.. absolutely CONVINCED that this (Cheeky Monkey) was THE ultimate insult in the British Isles..... and he wouldn't hear anything to the contrary.
Finally the story emerges: he's had a British guy living with his family for a year on some sort of Rotary youth exchange...and the Brit had been working on him all year, convincing him that this phrase (Cheeky Monkey) was the sort of thing that would get you shot if you so much as whispered it....
20 odd years later and I don't the poor chap has worked it out yet...
Ah British humour.... :-)
Sometimes I feel like I'm at Nursery School, “Little Camporas” or something.
I feel I'm standing around chatting with my fellow Brits etc. and we can hear loud tantrums from Sussie's playroom, but nobody responds.

i pay taxes in China, and therefor do not need to pay taxes in the country of my birth.

Jubilee Debt Campaign has condemned the latest move of vulture fund NML to seize an Argentine naval ship in Ghana in an attempt to get a payout on odious Argentine debt. NML is owned by US hedge fund Elliott Associates, run by Paul Singer, one of Mitt Romney’s major donors. The ship has been impounded by a Ghanaian court.

I know exactly who you are! You sit around in your little dreamworld saying “poor me, alas I can't get ahead because the white man took my land, Jews stop me from getting ahead, I don't understand why I get excited when another man touches me, I don't understand why this anti-freeze makes me feel so good, the whole world is against me and its all somebody else's fault!” What you need to do Mr. Pirat-Hunter is kill yourself, now if you don't have the courage to do so I wouldn't worry, the firewater will get you sooner or later, unprotected sex with men in subway bathrooms or maybe even announcing that you are a jew-hater in earshot of a particularly nasty child of Israel. Think about that as you sit in your own feces crying about the fact that nobody will wipe your ass for you, you have to get up and do it yourself.
You don't know you have made anti semitic statements.?
You posted at #244
“ There's no difference between white or black jews, they are all the same scum bags.”
Where do you get your statistics for religious beliefs in Ghana.
Christianity, Muslim and Akan or the only ones mentioned of any note. I don't see Judaism mentioned.
This is a thread about an Arg vessel. Now, I admit people go off topic at times, but ranting about your private fetishes is taking it too far...
This was a thread about an Arg vessel in Ghana. Pirat made a very silly comment about Jews in Ghana, which, incidentally there are few, if any. I suspect he has been into the firewater again but I seriously think this poor man needs help, he shows all the symptoms of a man suffering from PTSD probably due to childhood sexual abuse, he needs help!
I hardly think you have always stayed on topic and I'm curious as to why you are sticking up for Pirat, is there more anti-semitic undertones running through this forum? I wonder..
Personally, I don't hate jews, but that doesn't mean I lile what they ste up to against the Palestines. Too long have they lived feeding sympathy of the entire world for what was done to them during WWII, and at the same time doing the same towards the Palestines.
www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/argentina/9592424/Cristina-Kirchner-using-Falkland-Islands-as-a-smokescreen-to-hide-failing-economy.html
Now, who is changing topics? Pirat can change the thread as long as it is something you are sympathetic towards? I don't care if you like Jews or not, this thread has nothing to do with them.....wait now that I think about it, I guess it all comes down to history, land deeds and actual ownership, small populations surrounded by belligerent uneducated hordes, I guess parallels exist but I'm sure there are other forums to express these views.
You referred to me asking is there where more anti-semitic undertones, so I answered your thoughts and now you don't have to wonder anymore. If that is me changing topic, what can I say, don't type your thoughts down...
For the rest of your post, keep thinking that way, that's what we are, uneducated.

Great then, you are a very important player in the process of change. Because of people like you, spreading knowledge in the poorer parts of the world, the world is at change. I hope you are doing it to counter injustice and not to fill your own pockets in the Klondyke rush though...
Does anybody know the total of how much Argentina owes, that they are refusing to pay?
So if that is the face value of the bonds he paid upwards of USD 90 M for them.
I think given a good ship broker the Flagship will go for much more than USD10M, just imagine what it would cost to replace as new.
To all the Malvanistas: yes, I know new price is somewhat irrelevant because you would not build it the same and you would take the opportunity to have up to date navigation instead of an iron bar on a piece of string as the compass. :o)
notice how very quiet the argie bloggers are abt this bit of CFK humiliation.
Ah! But do they know what an astrolobe is and does?
Technology as complicated as that is too much for the average argie.

I have just found a bottle of 10 year old MACALLAN single malt in my drinks cupboard. It's been there since Christmas 2009 lurking in the back and I had forgotten about it.
If teleportation were possible, I would beam you down a large dram,but, alas Star Trek technology is still in the future.
Anyway Slainte Mhath.
Thanks Clyde!, hopefully in the future! Glenlivet here, everything else is too expensive unless its a special occasion.
