Falkland Islands Referendum, White Puffs of Smoke?
By Professor Klaus Dodds & Dr Alasdair Pinkerton - The celebrations on Arch Green, outside the Falkland Islands’ Stanley Cathedral, on Monday 11 March, revealed the strength of emotion and passion that has circulated around this referendum process, ever since it was announced in June 2012.

Mar 22nd, 2013 - 03:15 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Keep Calm the Brits are Having a Referendum...
The fact of the matter is that Argentina have talked, gambled, war'd and blockaded themselves out of ever having any say: until they change their own attitudes.
Mar 22nd, 2013 - 03:45 pm - Link - Report abuse 0They do, after all, only have to convince 1500 people, not the entire world.
How hard would that have been if only they could be peaceful & pleasant?
No fireworks just in case rg's got twitchy about big bangs, “ those nasty islanders have been firing rockets. We see this as a direct threat to rgenweener those things could have someone's eye out and scare dogs and cats, this is a clear case of militarising the south Atlantic and we insist NATO helps us”.

I plead forgiveness for going off topic, but this is apposite to ypur comment, Captain:
I read in a book about the North African campaign, about a very young Flight Lieutenant acompanied by a Flight Sergeant who were looking for an advanced airfield in the desert, when they topped a sand dune and found themselves in front of an Italian armoured brigade whose CO immediately surrendered to the dumb struck Flight Lieutenant!!!!!!
Simon again off topic. Yes General Erwin Rommel ( A man I much admire) knew all about the calibre of his Italian allies in North Africa. As a young lieutenat in WW1 he knocked seven bells out of them

Mar 24th, 2013 - 02:11 am - Link - Report abuse 0Rommel is noted for his resistance to Hitler and he died for it as a man of principle.
Peron openly embraced Hitler and his cronies, offering them sanctuary at the end of the war.
Peron and Argentina profited handsomely from Hitler's war, selling hoods to both sides, while he extorted money and wealth from those seeking asylum from the war in Europe.
Here is the real story of 'your' Biro:

“Swirling within and around the arc of these two lives, Moldova illustrates how citizenship and nationalism can be used in conjunction with patent laws and international/national corporate capitalism to peel away from individual innovators and entrepreneurs their ownership of intellectual property.
For example, Bíró handed over a sizable percentage of his shares to his Argentine partners to free his family from fascist Hungary.”

Show me how I have 'adjusted' history.
You can't.
Admiring some of the qualities in a man, his skills as an opponent, and respect as a General, does not mean one respects or admires the Nazi ideology.
I despise the Nazi's, their deeds, and what they stand for.
Do you?
I'm waiting to hear a clear, definite answer on that.
“Yes” or “No”??? Just so as we are clear.
Our countries, the Allies, clearly, committedly, wholeheartedly, and unambiguously fought against the Nazi's, Nazi Germany, Hitler, and his architects of genocide, ethnic-cleansing, destruction, enslavement, and domination of Europe.
What did Argentina and Peron do?
They fed the Nazi's.
They offered them sanctuary after the war, sharing the spoils of war with hunted war criminals - Mengela, Eichmann?? Ring any bells???
Argentina seems to have admired the Nazi's enough to have embraced many of their Nationalist Socialist policies in your government today.
- Hitler Youth - la Campora and other disaffected and underemployed groups of thugs to intimidate the public, disseminate propaganda, silence protest, intimidate foreigners and foreign business - do you remember your own 'Kristal Nacht ' - the shattering of windows at the cruise office??
How about the swarming of the elderly cruise passengers in BA??
- CFK and the Peronists stage extravagant Nationalist rallies, Nuremburg anyone???
- CFK is working hard to limit the power of the press and Free
Speech through legislation and the Judiciary
- CFK is doing her best to denounce and intimidate those Judges that question or disagree with her.
- Genocide - what is happening to your Amerindians?
- “unsolved” AMIA attack against BA Jews
- Political propaganda by government for your 'Sudetenland' - the Falklands
- massive socialist propaganda campaign
- more...
Hitler would be proud of you!!!

YOU are at great pains, however, to say that we are.
Our, the Allies, US, UK, Commonwealth etc. history and logic show clearly that we do not and did not support their ideology and their actions.
However, you, the Argentinan Peronists did actively emulate them and support them during the war and gleefully took their stolen wealth after the war, in exchange for sanctuary, and prominent positions in employment and society in Argentina. You sheltered them from international prosecution.
Now Argentinian Peronists under CFK are using many of the fascist tools of the National Socialist Party to control your country and your people, as I outlined at length in another thread.
Peronists look a lot like the Nazi's that Juan Peron admired aided and abetted.

Royal NAZI Flush, English Turnips…
”WHEN Harry appeared in Nazi uniform it left the rest of his family suddenly looking naked. In an instant, years of painstaking effort to smooth over the royals' past were stripped away as memories and suspicions of royal links to Hitler's Germany were resurrected.
It was only in 1917 that George V, worried by the anti-German feeling caused by the first world war, ordered the royal family to scrap Saxe-Coburg-Gotha and Wettin for Windsor.
However, more embarrassing than names the length of a bus are the family's links to Nazi Germany. The duke is Greek and some of his relatives sympathised with the Nazis; others joined them.
One brother-in-law, Prince Christoph of Hesse, was a member of the SS and flew fighters that attacked allied troops in Italy. In fact, so many of Philip's relatives had Nazi links that when he married Princess Elizabeth he was severely limited on the guests he could invite.
George VI and his wife, the late Queen Mother sent birthday greetings to Hitler weeks before Germany invaded Poland.
More notoriously, his brother, the former King Edward VIII, who became the Duke of Windsor after abdicating in 1936, was sympathetic towards Hitler. Even in 1970 he told one interviewer: “I never thought Hitler was such a bad chap.”
The duke and his wife, Wallis Simpson, had visited Germany in 1937 and were taken to meet the Führer. When they left, Hitler said of Simpson: “She would have made a good Queen.”
Other royals also had links to the Nazis. Baron Gunther von Reibnitz, the father of Princess Michael of Kent, was a party member and an honorary member of the SS. And the brother of Princess Alice, a great-aunt to the Queen, was a Nazi who said that Hitler had done a “wonderful job”.

Stevie,
that is exactly my point - Peron IS a “dubious character” and a Fascist and an admirer of the NAZI's - all the things you accuse us of being.
He is also ARGENTINIAN and it is his values and principles that the current PERONISTS emulate, utilising the same tools to manipulate the populace.
ie. they are morally bereft.
In contrast, us, the UK, Canada, USA, Aussies, etc. have very much shown that we are opposed to NAZI's and other Fascists like Mussolini and Franco, who were complicit with HITLER and in the same sentence, your PERON, a hero of ARGENTINA.
Carlos Menem, a “criminal”??
It is obvious you did not read anything in those links that I posted.
You choose to regard the Peron Nazi's as heroes, and Menem a “criminal”, yet it was Menem that established an Argentine mechanism to try to re-unite the Jewish refugees with their property and wealth that the Nazi's had stolen.
Very clearly, we are NOT the Nazi's, fascists or thieves that you yourselves model yourselves after.

Your current government still calls themselves Peronists, for a reason, and they use many of the same tools to influence the people, and seem to share the same values as Peron and the Nazi's.

I don't agree with you that most governments in SA are populist in nature. There are great differences between them. Most are based on a socialist ideology, but the economic policies varies a lot. While some approach it from a liberal perspective, others choose a more restrictive approach.
I assume your idea of populism is to feed the poor for votes. I think the poor are being fed for need, not for votes, and I can't understand the lack of humanity that leads people to look down on such an attitude.
As for Marxism, it's an idea presented in 1850'ish and would have to be revised and adapted to 2013 in order to have any form for relevance. I do agree with parts of the economics in Marxism, but they too suffer from an out-dated reality.
No, this is my only username.
Thanks for being forth-rite and filling me in on your background.
