    Wonderful, wonderful. So now after all his typical loudmouth Argentine rhetoric Grondona is forced to apologize to the British and admit that he spoke inappropriately at the FIFA conference.

    Grondona, or how I like to refer to him by as Grondo, suffers from that common syndrome found in Argentina...where you talk out of your arse instead of your mouth. Evidence of this syndrome can be commonly found in comments section of MercoPress stories regarding the Falklands. More specifically, look out for Alejo, Think, Geo, Nico and Marcos comments.

    Argentina is corrupt from top to bottom and ruled by a corporatocratic dynasty. It's one of those places stuck in a time warp, the Kitchener's are the recreation of the Peron's, complete with the same rhetoric and ideals. If Nestor hadn't passed away, Argentina's corporations may have had to kill him for Peron experience to repeat. It's like a bad record stuck on replay!

    Juan Perón on fascism:

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

    “Italian Fascism led popular organizations to an effective participation in national life, which had always been denied to the people. Before Mussolini's rise to power, the nation was on one hand and the worker on the other, and the latter had no involvement in the former. [...] In Germany happened exactly the same phenomenon, meaning, an organized state for a perfectly ordered community, for a perfectly ordered population as well: a community where the state was the tool of the nation, whose representation was, under my view, effective. I thought that this should be the future political form, meaning, the true people's democracy, the true social democracy.”

    It was Peron's protection of former Nazi's, in particular those from Croatia that led Nestor Kitchener's mother to Argentina...
