IOC criticizes Argentina for involving the Games with politics and Falklands’ dispute
The International Olympic Committee, IOC, criticized on Friday an Argentine television spot that links the London Games to Argentina's sovereignty dispute with Britain over the Falkland Islands, calling it a blatant attempt to use the games for political purposes. Read full article

Disclaimer & comment rulesThanks IOC and Young and Rubicam, but this Argentine “initiative” to embarrass Britain is quite likely only the opening salvo. CFK government is probing the limits of activism to see how far they can go to push Britain and British people into a reaction that could arouse international - but more importantly Argentine emotions. Argies basically want to push Britons to do something unseemly - like an acrimonious welcome in London. Argies are smart enough to know what they are guilty of but they want to offload that onto Britons. Everybody needs to be cool until we see where the Argies are headed with their parade - and then time to step out in front of it.

Take all your investments out of Argentina, Stop buying anything produced in Argentina. Dont pay attention and do not give any more press to this government. Ban Argentina of the olimpic games.
Its the only way this regime will dry out of money for handouts and their own pockets and that 54% that voted it will have to start working for a living.
Control and management of your own natural resource is crucial for a countrys survival. For 600 years, South America hasn't had the chance to do this, no more excuses.
May 05th, 2012 - 04:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0I'm glad the evidence is building and building, Argentina is getting deperate now and is using the most childish and desperate measures to get attention. Our leaders husband died, sympathy, she might have cancer sympathy, we just want peace, sympathy. Absolutely pathetic, the only one benefitting from this is some warehouse somewhere that's supplying all those toys being thrown from your pram. Argentina is failing at it's goals... But don't worry, you still have your gay little patio.

Britain, show you mean what you say and remove those troops, it's not like you have too many maidens in line to move to the “falklands”, you made them blood dependant, and they are getting fewer, all so you can have a strategic military presence.
May 05th, 2012 - 04:13 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina is wrong in using the olympics, but you deal marked cards and condemn when people cheat...
The base problem is that Argentina indoctrinates its own people with its 'false history' and this advert is just a good example of its weird version of reality as believed by Malvinista morons like Guzz & PA.
May 05th, 2012 - 04:15 am - Link - Report abuse 0I feel a bit sorry for the athlete concerned as he will probably still be queueing up at Heathrow arrivals when everybody is queueing up to catch the flight back home.
A bit of interesting news regarding Alicia being on the Murnaghan show this Sunday to explain her view of things. It should be fascinating to see what he makes of it. I hope he doesn't give her an easy ride.
Having seen what your country did to Suarez, I fear for all the argentinian athletes in the olympics, but don't worry, britain will not make politics of this :)

If I had pulled my trousers down and taken a dump on an Argentinian war memorial the whole Argentinian nation would be up in uproar, but not a whimper of criticism of their own side when they so publicly defile a war memorial ... or indeed any mention of the fact that Argentina to this day is such a military state that no-one would have been able to make such a video in Argentina.
May 05th, 2012 - 05:08 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina has shown that the entire nation are lowlife scum who don't deserve statehood, let alone control of foreign territories.
@11 - Guzz, as a typical Argtard you keep missing the point. British troops are on the Falklands at the request of the Falkland Islands Government, to protect them from Argentinian aggression. If they weren't there, Argentina would've invaded them by now.
May 05th, 2012 - 06:19 am - Link - Report abuse 0@13 - Guzz, unlike the Argentinian government, Britain knows how to act on the world stage. All Argentina can do is screech at the top of it's voice. When they realise no one's listening they pull pathetic stunts like your feeble excuse for an Ambassador did in London, and your feeble excuse for a government has done here.
Now your government (and I say your government Guzz 'cos everyone knows your are a La Campora troll trying to pretending to be Urugayan), has pissed off yet another international body, to add to its growing list.
If Argentina is stupid enough to try to make some political gain by a demonstration at the Olympics, you'll find yourselves out on your ears, banned from attending international sporting events until your government learns what is, and is not acceptable at international events.
But of course it won't be Argentina's fault will it? No people like your corrupt government could never hold up their hands and say, 'sorry, we went a bit too far,' no you'll blame Britain, and you'll blame 3,000 innocent people who want nothing to do with your corrupt government and it's Nazi policies.
Having an entire community being blood dependantfor 8 generations from a nation half a world away doesn't sound like anything the nazi would come up with. All to upkeep a military presence in the region :) Not at all nazi :)

May 05th, 2012 - 08:25 am - Link - Report abuse 0The UK doesn't need to do anything other than issue a statement regarding this since Argentina is doing itself a world of damage.
And if Argentina seeks to take any further action around the Olympics either it shouldn't be allowed to compete or if at a later stage its athletes should be sent home in disgrace.
However, defiling a war memorial is truly scum like behavior.
It is a good job Fernando Zylberberg is a homosexual; because otherwise he really wouldn't be relishing the prospect of all those internal examinations the UK Border Agency and police will be subjecting him to in a few months time :)
May 05th, 2012 - 08:28 am - Link - Report abuse 0Actually, you know this is really all just a conspiracy on the part of Argentina to get themselves excluded from the Olympics. They can't afford to send a team to London; so, rather than admit that, they are working on trying to spin a story in which the whole world ganged up on the poor little fairy fascist state and prevented them from attending. They failed and will now have to find another implausible excuse :)
@21 - Guzz. Argentina militarising the Anartic is against The Antartic Treaty. So once again the Argentinians break international law.
May 05th, 2012 - 08:29 am - Link - Report abuse 0http://www.antarctica.ac.uk/about_antarctica/geopolitical/treaty/
An Guzz, since you can't win your arguments over the Falkland Islands you resort to normal 'Argtard' behaviour, and begin insulting the people that live there.
Tell me Guzz, if Argentina's claim to sovereignty is so legal, why have their government consistantly refused to take the issue to the International Court of Justice?
The answer is that all your claims to sovereignty are based on lies. The Argentine government in 1850 signed a treaty with Britain recognising that the Falklands were British, and since the inception of the UN (Argentina was a founding member of this organisation), the right to self-determination trumps all other arguments.
But back to the story, the IOC are warning the Argentine government here. I truly believe that Argentina's own National Olympic Committee didn't know about this advert, which probably means that they won't know if your increasing erractic government are going to politicise the Olympic Games themselves. If Argentina does that, the international ramifications would be severe.
Oh, but I forgot, you don't need the world do you? You can live off beef and soy beans for the rest of your lives! Failing that China will come and save you!
Pathetic!
I just think that a bunch of isolated militaries having only some sheap and eachother to interact with can't be healthy... for no one....
May 05th, 2012 - 08:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0@25 I didn't say send troops. I think pity is enough. Argtardia is just desperate for someone to look at it, and will do anything to get some attention. But they just end up looking like really really sad and pathetic furks.
May 05th, 2012 - 08:33 am - Link - Report abuse 0Which is basically the definition of an Argtard anyways.
one of the many disturbing aspects of all this is the way that CFK is using the memory of the Argentine soldiers who died during the conflict. tagging that bit on the end of the video “to the memory” of the dead: really quite sinister. she seems to be all but saying that what the military regime did wrong was to fail in taking and holding the islands, not that it was wrong to try to do so by military means; by blaming Britain for their deaths, she is allying herself with the military junta that sent Argentine soldiers to their graves...
May 05th, 2012 - 08:47 am - Link - Report abuse 0on a different note, i think that the video is an own goal. aside from being offensive, what really stands out in it is the way Port Stanley looks so English, so neat, so well cared for, so peaceful.
Spectacular own goal! I was going to say, an uprecedented cock up. Then I remembered this is just the latest in a long, long, long history of cock ups. What next I wonder?

But what does Argentina do? They blame everyone but themselves for how the country is. Argentina is nearly 200yrs old, yet you still blame Europe for all your ills!
It's about time Argentina grew up as a nation, and started behaving responsibly to their own people and on the world stage. And if Argentina makes a mockery out of the Olympic Games this summer, it will be the final nail in the coffin for any support over anything, let alone the Falklands, because not only will you be disrepecting the spirit of the Olympics, you will disrespect every nation who participates.

If we remove any defences Argentina will invade. No question about it. So no. Go forth and multiply you spineless fraction of an excuse for a human sub species and crawl back under your rock.
If Argentina are short on training facilities the Falklanders could always offer them a short-term lease on the mine fields.

@44 Guzz...yeah, in away you are right...not that Britain particularly needs more troops or even Hurricanes, lovely aircraft that they were playing their part in keeping at bay the nazi threat to the world in years gone by. What we actually need to do is to be strong and resolute defending our people and their rights against whatever may threaten them, sound in the knowledge that what is ours is ours. Actually, I am increasingly confident that the UK government has realised this and how they would be laughed at from all angles if we let the RG government trick us into giving up what is ours and and all that lovely oil (which I hope the Falkland Islands Government will decide to sell to us).

I don't get my way at the OAS summit, so I'll steal an international company. The UN won't listen to us, so we'll get our Ambassador to humilate herself by speaking inappropriately to the wrong person at the wrong venue.
No one is listening to us, so we'll make a propaganda advert, and to ensure we really upset people, we'll defile a war memorial.
That one act, in that commercial, has outraged countries all around the world. It is considered the most despicable thing that can be done. It shows the world the contempt that the government of Argentina has to those who fought and died for their country, the contempt the Argentine government has to decency, and the contempt that the Argentine government have for the people of the Falklands.
Yup this advert has got to be classed as one of the biggest 'own' goals in history. Well done CFK!

May 05th, 2012 - 11:57 am - Link - Report abuse 0As to colonisation, you should know a lot about that. You claim to be Uruguayan, so if that's correct, tell us all about the original inhabitants, the Charrua. Presently, in Uruguay, pure blood Amerindians are practicaaly non-existant, with just 8% of the national population being mestizo (people with mixed Spanish and indigneous blood). That's right...88% of your population is white...which probably means you haven't been living in Latin America the last 600 years....who knows, Guzz, maybe your European ancestors arrived after a number of the Falklanders settled on their islands....that would not be a surprise, especially as many Europeans (like the families of Timmerman and Kirchner) settled in South America in the 20th century...so get off your high horse, and stop being a total foolish hypocrit.
And well done International Olymoic Committee for Argentina in its place as regards that foolish advertisement. Also well done Young and Rubicam for apologising for your agencies role in making of this advertisement.
As for Argentina, I again feel sorry for the many decent people who do live there and must feel absolutely ashamed and frustrated by the antics of Kirchner's government and her supporters. Argentina' s reputation is becoming an complete joke thanks to these fools, including Guzz's La Camporist and Malvinista comrades.
The charruas were free people, of free spirit. It is claimed they were atheist and lived as nomads. When the european came with their horses, the charruas adapted their way of living introducing these beasts, making them ferious fighters. So ferious that one General chose to join them and fight the Spaniards/BA/Portuguese. General Artigas dreamed of a society where all of us could participate, and the charruas believed in him. Another fellow, the Colorado founder Fructuoso Rivera was of another opinion though. He declared Artigas a traitor and chased his out of the country. Then he assambled all the different tribes in Salsipuedes (Getoutifyoucan), served them wine and started the massacre of the charruas. For the next generation, they were hunted down and killed, as pray. Last biggest scalp they got (that I know of), was the scumbags sisters son Bernabe Rivera, prooved charrua assassin.
May 05th, 2012 - 12:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0After killing all their men, they dispersed all the survivors, splitting families in order to kill the culture as a whole.... They managed, charrua language is practically extinct, and the only thing that remained is the spirit...
If you check Frente Amplios flag and ideology, you will find out that we are the followers of Artigas, and if you ever see a Colorado, tell him about his past, remind him... Never again

@44 Guzz
The only reason Argentina wants Britain to De-militarise the S Atlantic, is so they can Re-militarise it with their forces, and steal our resources there and in Antarctica.
It’s not rocket science, you have run out of S America to “conquer” from the Indians, and are now trying to take British territory in the S. Atlantic/Antarctica.
However unlike Atahualpa, the British have more than just bows and arrows with which to defend their territory.
And as you Criollo Conquistadors need to be contained in S. America, a British military presence is necessary in the region.

But your arguments are getting stale - same sh!t, different day. Are you weak from lack of food? Is the La Campora food parcel late today?
The Falkland Islanders have already agreed to hold a UN overseen referendum regarding sovereignty, but Argentian has ignored it. They've ignored it for 2 reasons:
1. They would have to recognised the government and people of the Falklands, and therefore their right to self-determination.
2. They can't rig the election in their favour.

May 05th, 2012 - 12:59 pm - Link - Report abuse 0When Argentina say we won't invade the Falkland Islands, so you don't need any military forces there, what they actually mean is: Once your military has left, we'll invade, terrorise the population, and ethnically cleanse them, steal the resources, and then mismange them into bankruptcy.
They must honestly think that the British and Falkland Island Governments have just got off the banana boat!
The Argentine President lives in cloud cuckoo land, surrounded by yes men, so she'll ignore what her own people are saying and what the interantional community are saying, and ensure that they do 'something' to politicise the Games. Of course, she'll only shoot herself in the foot again, leaving Argentina with more egg on their face.
But it won't be her fault, it's NEVER her fault...
I tend to look at how people act instead for listening to what they say. You guys are all “Pardon” and “Excuse me”, all polite when it comes to words, then you torture, murder and rape people all over the world. Argentina swears and bullies (there IS a reason they are called arrogant), but they don't invade anyone. You could say “1982!!!”, but that was the fascist junta and not the argentinians, and anyhow, it was 1982. Today it is 2012, and while Argentina is not an invasive nation, you have prooved otherwise.
May 05th, 2012 - 01:00 pm - Link - Report abuse 0So as I told you from the start, looking at your actions, I'm more worried of you guys, YOU send military, YOU invade sovereign nations, YOU pay puppet leaders, YOU make a whole society blood dependant of yourselves...
@81 Guzz. YAWN. You make spurious claims regarding the British, but where is your proof? Careful, you could be sued for liabel. If you can't back it up with proof (oh and Wiki and youtube isn't proof as they are not reliable sources of information), then you shouldn't say it.
May 05th, 2012 - 01:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Since when have the British tortured, murdered and raped people all over the world? Where is your EVIDENCE?
I also love it when you say 'Argentina didn't invade the Falklands, that was the facist Junta.' You talk about the Junta like they were a group of martians who invaded Argentina and did all these terrible things. They were not martians, they were Argentinians, and the things they did were in the name of Argentina, whether you like it or not. But you must also remember that the majority of the population of Argentina celebrated that illegal act of violence when the Falklands were invaded.
By this complete disassociation with atrocities committed by your fellow countrymen, whether it be the 'Dirty War' or the invasion of the Falklands, shows how immature as a people you are, and how unlikely you are to learn from history.
Accept responsibility for the actions done in YOUR name. Remember them and learn from them. There is no country in the world that doesn't have something in their past that they're not proud of, but they don't pretend it didn't happen or that it was 'someone else' not associated with their country.
Oh and a final point. The reason Argentina hasn't invaded anyone is because your military hasn't the capability to do so. But your neighbour Chile doesn't take the state of your military for granted, and so they keep their military strength up, because Argentine promises are only worth the paper they're written on.
But are you every going to comment on the subject of this thread. The Argentine governments blantant policisation of the Olympic Games?

@38 You'd know all about experimenting with peoples' lives. Auschwitz, Dachau, Treblinka, Petty Officers' School of Mechanics, the other 340 argie concentration camps, the vuelos de la muerte.
@59 But the Islanders WANT British forces there. It's only you retards “on the continent” that don't! As we in Britain know, living on a continent tends to make you retarded. But we, and the Islanders, live on islands and are therefore sane, intelligent, mature people.

Well, I think that shows just how cocaine-addled Guzz's pitiful excuse for a brain is.
It is like those scumbag two-faced swedes who claimed to be neutral during the war at the same time as selling the Nazis masses of weapons and supplying them with hundreds of millions tons of steel .. but you can't blame the swedes because they were 'neutral' and grew fat on the war.
To this very day Argentina is engaged in a systematic campaign of ethnic cleansing. Are you blaming that on the junta too? .. or that just a lie that the rest of the world tells when it gangs up on poor little defenceless Argentina in revenge for the fact that Argentina is happy to financially rape the rest of the world at every opportunity?

An interesting strand of Argentine hypocrisy is that Argentinians will deny responsibility for everything – despite mostly being the direct descendants of the most bloody and oppressive colonial power the world has ever known – they just say it was the fault of the junta, or happened before they were born .. or they just lie and claim that there never was (let alone still is) a systematic effort to ethnically cleanse what is now Argentina. Yet, they quite hypocritically expect the British people to accept ongoing responsibility for everything that has ever been done in the name of Britain, England or Scotland … and any of the many occupying powers of what is now Great Britain.

If Scotland choose to leave the UK in their referendum of 2014, they will then represent just themselves in the Olympics from that point on and like the Falklands Islands, have the self-determination of the people to control the countries destiny, respected by the UK as a whole.

True they are not a member of FIFA but that is due more to Argentinas influence in the organisation, not that the Falklands cannot apply.

It's time for you to stop being a pillock. The British invented the modern game of football, and to begin with the only people whole played it were from the home countries. Because it's such an great game, other countries started playing too, and that's where FIFA and UEFA started, but they had to join us (so to speak) which is why we still play as separate nations.
However, in case you missed it, we have the Football Association(FA) while other countries have the Football Association of Spain (for example).
We also play as separate nations for rugby and cricket, just some more great games we've invented.
And what great games have the Argentines invented?
However, Max back on topic. So just what do you think about El Presidente politicising the Olympics games?
What do you think of her jepardising Argentna's participation and threatening to ruin the dreams of all those Argentine athletes who have worked bloody hard for the last 4 years or more to earn a place at the games? All for a cheap political stunt which has caused damned near universal critism, not only for politicising the games but for defiling a memorial to those who died in world war 1.
Max, do you actually have any opinions of your own, or do you have to wait for A Campora central office to supply you with them?

Clearly the argentines and their lackeys have abused a privilege extended to them by the people of the Falkland Islands. The families of the RG 's who are buried on the Falklands and whose lives were wasted by the criminal actions of the argentine government, will have every reason to feel aggrieved at the cowboy antics of their government. I can understand that Falkland Island people feel angst at RG visitors visiting their fallen kin who are buried on foreign soil, but in the interests of genuine humanity allow them to visit, despite the record of RG duplicity.

A boycott means making the UK rather unhappy that a country boycotted their games. You can say you won't care, you can say we don't matter, but fact is, even if a country like Burundi boycotts the games, it will get some attention specially at the opening ceremony.
Certainly Argentina doing so, since we send a sizeable delegation to games, will be what everyone talks about in the famous “Parade of Nations”.
I think it's up to 15.5% now.
@161 So a boycott means absolutely nothing at all. The two argtards who live in the UK (pretending to be from Uruguay) will still be in the UK and the pyss-poor Argtards who weren't coming to the UK for the Olympics still won't be there either. Just as I thought, no change.

Secondly, if you buy a car that is defective the car manufacturer can issue a recall to prevent harm being caused.
This advert only harms Argentina. Continued broadcasts or new ads of the same theme will just cause more damage and may well get Argentina removed from the Olympics. Pulling this ad is the best thing they can do but if they wish to continue there will be consequences that cannot be blamed on anyone else (although I'm sure CFK will try).
An article in the Telegraph has summed it up nicely:
May 06th, 2012 - 03:54 am - Link - Report abuse 0“Ms. Kirchner cuts an increasingly pathetic and lonely figure on the world stage, whose own demagoguery is now seriously damaging Argentina’s image.

May 06th, 2012 - 07:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0I don't think we need to worry for several reasons.
1. Argentina haven't got any assets to invade with.
2. The Typhoons stationed there could blow any ship out of the water and any aircraft out of the sky.
3. There are over a thousand troops on the island. Last time 70 Royal Marine's with a handful of RN personnel kept the Argentine's best troops pinned down, and only surrendered when the Argentines brought in artillery. So how tough a time do you think they'll have against 1,200 members of the Armed Forces.
4. There may or may not be a nuclear sub tooling around the South Atlantic (no one but Fleet knows for sure), and all it took last time was the sinking of one ship and the Argentine Navy was paralysed.
5. HMS Dauntless could destroy the entire Argentine Airforce single handedly.
So I think the Falklands are safe from Impotent Argentine threats.
And if they did somehow succeed in taking the Islands, well see post 200, cLOHO, spells it out nicely, except it wasn't mentioned that the Argentine troops would be facing battle-hardened troops. The Gurkha's, Paras and the Royals would all love to have another crack at the Argies, should they ever be so stupid to try this again.
I wouldn't fancy facing battle hardened UK soldiers fresh from Afghanistan. Even basic infantry regiments have been fighting to a level that previously only the marines and paras would of using all sorts of weaponry. I think anyone would be stupid to mess with the British Army, this generation of soldiers should not be messed with.

May 06th, 2012 - 11:31 am - Link - Report abuse 0In 1978 Argentina came very close to annihilating Chile’s southern fleet. We had practically no air defense. When I entered as a midshipman in the mid-80’s the national objective was to never allow that to happen again. (Similar to the U.K.) Today, we could easily simultaneously annihilate Peru, Bolivia and Argentina’s forces as well as secure strategic areas without serious concerns of a counterattack. We have a good military, but the truth is that Argentina has a terrible-poorly equipped-corrupt one. (Currently at least two of their German frigates are inoperable as their Rolls Royce turbans were grossly poorly maintained.)
Thankfully there is a “silver lining” to this disgrace. All the Argentine “bridge-building” by CFK to Falklands community has been completely destroyed. I doubt we’ll see another Falklands marathon with Argentines being invited.
Cristina, with her thuggish nationalization of YPF, her rabid encouragement of the La Campora attacks against European offices in Buenos Aires and the continued use of a crazy mad cow ambassadress only serves to hurt them. (It will destroy their economy as well.)
Twenty years from now, the citizens of the Falklands will probably have a similar status of the Channel Islands with the highest per capita income in the world. Argentina, will continue to be the country that could have been great, but instead choose to continue in their Peronist nightmare of corruption and chaos…

If they don't get banned then, I've no doubt that El Presidente is hatching some plot to disrupt the games. But if she does, it will be the final nail in the coffin for the Argentines on the international stage.
@215 Furk the Argtard athletes, they were apparently the main cause of this latest furkfest anyways.

Sorry for the cow shite to follow, but
Moo….moo…mooo!
The mad cow ambassadress, Alicia Castro is reported in the Telegraph today as trying to pull Argentina's immediate neighbors into the dispute, claiming UK diplomatic and business relations could be damaged if the islands were not handed over to Buenos Aires.
She said Las Malvinas would be better off if they cut their ties with the UK. Argentines would send teachers to the islands to teach Spanish, but did not want to change the way of life“ insisting the islands had to be ”given back to Latin America as a whole“. The MC Castro is quoted ”Is it rational that a small community, in the name of very particular wishes and interests, are against any dialogue?
“Does it make sense that because they are not regarding the interests of the 60 million British people, they are not regarding the interests of the 30 million people in Argentina and they are not regarding their best interests, which would no doubt be better preserved if they were linked to the continent?”
Moo….moo…mooo!
Did the mad cow really suggest that we could retain our way of life? After we've all started speaking Spanish and after we've cut off our ties with the UK? Ha ha ha ! She's actually sillier than she is ugly. LOL! FFS!

May 06th, 2012 - 06:30 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As the Argentine government has replayed the ad it will be interesting to see what action the IOC takes next. I would guess a sterner warning together with a threat of suspension. Whatever the outcome it MUST be an IOC decision. Any involvement by the UK government allows KFC and her cronies to once again attempt to distort the facts and play the victim. Fortunately each time KFC, Timerman and now Castro in London open their mouths the eyes of the international community are opened ever wider to the desperate, irrational behaviour of these people and the threat that pose to the islanders.

@226 NO! CFK needs to keep this up. It is in her interests. How could anyone doubt that engaging the young “athletes” of her cuntry is a worthwhile sacrifice? The whole world must see the commitment of every one of the 41+million argturds to crushing the aspirations of 3,140 Falkland Islanders. CFK MUST press on in her righteous fight to show the true character of argturdland, the Falkland Islanders and Britain. Psychotic imperialist colonialists, a free people and their defenders. Because Britain will defend. Until the last drop of scummy argturd blood. A new crusade! Remove “argturds” from South America. Drop the scum in the ocean. 200 at a time. Watch them die. Video the drownings. Be ready to show the videos to any state that tries to act like argturdland. This is how your cuntry will end!

Typical argentinian hypocracy, they make a film which makes political capital out of the olympics, then when reprimanded accuse the IOC of using their Olympians as ... newts?
Argentina is a product of colonialism, conquered by the sword, most of the natives killed and infected by disease, their land taken from them and worked by imported African slaves, oversean by imported European colonials. The African's who made up 50% of the population would themselves completely disapear from Argentina between 1850-1900 in what could have been a chilling fore runner to the disareances of the Dirty War in the 1970's when an estimated 30,000 Argentines were raped, tortured and murdered, many more were held illegally in detention camps and tortured. The true figure for the dead could be as high as 100,000, no one knows because there is little official documentation and most bodies were dumped in the sea.
May 08th, 2012 - 02:35 am - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina took land from its neighbours in numberous wars , civil wars and land grabs - Paraguay, Uraguay, Chile. Today Argentina despite the changed political landscape is still a nation characterised by uber nationalism. The claim to the Falklands was surendered in 1850 but reserected in 1941 by a fascist junta, which inc Peron, they thought their friends the Nazi were going to win the war, the Falklands looked easy picking.
In 1982 Argentina was under the latest succession of a series of fascism military junta's. Their hold on power was looking precarious, in deperation they sort a war, Chile looked like a good victim, they already claimed lots of land and were ignoring the international tribunals that had ruled in Chile's favor. But then they changed their mind and invaded the Falklands. Today the war is romanticized by a nation ruled by a kind of cross between a Neo-Nazi uber nationalist and a Charvesta Revolutionary uber Marxist. The only thing missing is the land reform. Maybe that's for later? But as few natives remain, maybe they'll just ignore their rights... God knows they always have. An entire culture replaced by a European one. Entire languages destroyed.
Timmerman should take time to read about his country's history.

As I've said before the IOC “non-political” stance is nothing but a cover for its very political support for those in power against any challenge to the status quo. In 1968 they refused to criticise the Mexican government for killing hundreds of protesters in Mexico City on the eve of the Games, yet disciplined the African American gold medallists who gave the black power salute (one of them I see is due to give a talk on the Olympics in London soon). In 1972 the head of the IOC gave a speech the day after the massacre of the Israeli team in which he didn't refer to any of the dead athletes but whittered on about how the (successful) campaign to ban the unrecognised aprtheid state of Rhodesia was just as much an attack on the “Olympic spirit” as their killing. Two IOC Presidents, Avery Brundage who was a huge supporter of the Berlin Games and Saramanch who defected from the Republican to the Francoist army in the Spanish Civil War and was a Francoist politician in Spain, have been intimately linked to fascism. So if my Queen is attacked by these bastards, good for her =)
