Thank you Julio Argentino Roca for giving us La Patagonia. Los Mapuches, como siempre victimizándose. Those bloody Mapuche peoples are a bloody invention. Thank you Roca for fighting against those bloody chilean caciques in the war against Chile. No aboriginal people anymore, stop lying. Viva San Ceferino tehuelche, no el Ceferino mapuche una gran mentira. Death to the kirchnerists!!!

And so they should! Time for the Spanish and Italian thieves to own up to their crimes. In fact, they should probably return to their points of origin. That should wreck Spain and Italy AND destroy the corrupt and criminal EU at the same time. It's actually a toss-up who is more corrupt and criminal. The EU or the Argentine government. Wonder how much money CFK has leeched from the Argentine people by now? According to public records in 2009, declared assets of CFK and her deceased husband had increased by 572% since 2003. So it should be around 762% by now. Is she still checking out palaces abroad to retire to when she thinks she's screwed enough? Only trouble is....no-one knows how much she thinks is “enough”. Mind you, she's got a way to go before she can match Gaddafi's £60-70 billion.
