    “The United States monitored the phone conversations of 35 world leaders” ...... She is going to be very upset if they haven’t bothered to spy on her. And if the bloody yanks have done so we will never hear the end of it.

    10) In view of this new allegations about the US spying 35 heads of state added to mass surveillance programs undergone by the NSA and the comments spilled on the this thread I wonder what the Fuerzas Armadas del Pueblo (FAP) make of all this

    The USA is gonna get what's comming to it. I feel sorry for their citizens, but they are creating a grand world alliance will eventually bomb them to the stone age.

    Merkel bugged - did she assume that her cellular was encrypted in use? Naive.

    All national leaders and their minions are trained to understand that they are being listened to in all their dealings. Perhaps less so when they are pillow-talking.

    What concerns me is that the NSA (and GNVQ) are massively interrogating all companies, both home and overseas, specifically to gain commercial advantage for the USA ... especially in the bids placed in contracting and the constraints the contractor will place on the contract negotiations.
    Is it surprising that these US players win the majority of the great contracts around the world when the 'hand' of those awarding the contracts is known so intimately.

    'All's fair in love and war' - but why pretend that contract awarding, like election-winning, is 'fair' when the players rig the game so totally?

    As Snowdon reveals more and more of the practices of his country, the need for pretending will disappear and we can view the players in the harsh light of reality ... and judge them accordingly.

    It is our job to spy their job to thwart us.
    Grow up spying has been happening since man first appeared

    Too bad most everyone uses encryption algorithms we created. If they're so concerned maybe they should build their own.

    Cabeza

    Shut up.

    This seems to be more about yourself than anything else.

    As it turns out, we both seem to feel the same way about the K's and her Government.
    I don't like her attacks on the British and the Falklanders.
    I don't blame the Argentinisn people for that.
    She has an army of propaganda Trolls on here who use deceit and various identities to put out misinformation and undermine criticism of CFK.
    “Dany” has been a particularly malicious and insulting Troll.

    I can understand that you are angry and frustrated with CFK, the Argentine economy, and many other issues. That has become apparent.
    It is interesting to hear what you have to say about how things are perceived in Argentina, as well as the insights into background information.
    However, I'm not the only one who disagrees with your despicable justification of genocide.
    You seem only concerned about yourself and your fragile ego.

    There are other Argentinians on here, like Simon 68 who are informative, and gentlemanly and polite, so I know not all Argentinians are like you.

    So I was correct, you did report us you snitch. You raised the question the other day of the difference between nationalism and patriotism. Ironic.

    Stop patronizing us, because I know damn well many of you enjoy and rejoice about it every single day here the Argentine decline. I don’t particularly care, because I believe you have right not to like us, but do not be a hypocrite.
    Despite this I’m always honest so therefore many of the things you say –ultimately- are sadly true. But that doesn’t make you any better, because you and many others here do think yourselves superior and better than the Argentine commentators.

    Now what you don’t get, is I’m not going to take so easily being verbally bullied and abused around like they have being and my country to be trashed around just for free, and add stuff upon just for the sake of attacking Argentina freely and easily. So as you can’t do so with me you try to portrait this as a matter of ego or nationalism.

    You get on the good side of my and you will realize I don’t take myself that seriously nor I hate other countries like the nationalist Argentines do. But if you are so scandalized about my views and opinions of the Desert Conquest why did you pack and run?? Ohh because you know a damn thing about Argentine history and your arguments wouldn’t last a couple of posts without being demolished isn’t it? …

    I don't know for sure but I suspect the comments removed were in Spanish. This is an English language comments board and they tend to remove anything not in English. Just sayin'.

    27) They had the first sentance in English and the following one in Spanish. I did post a link to some girls photos who happends to have the same surname than Cristina's spy in chief Milani, so one thing lead to the other but they ware not nude nor chest free as Dany's ones are, so I guess one single sentance in Spanish is enough to get the whole post removed...

    @28 I don't know then. Usually one sentence or phrase in Spanish would not lead to a whole post being deleted.

    It clearly depends on the good faith of whoever is reporting the comments, as an absolute they should delete it even if there is a sentence in Spanish or other language that is not English. If just posted on a thread that is spoken in full Portuguese sentences, and nobody has deleted them, hopefully nowbody does because they are simple exchanges between the users…Anyway, I’ll leave it there.

    What a self-righteous martyr you are.

    To think that you should have to put up with us like this!!

    Just listen to yourself, wingeing and crying, “nobody likes us, everybody hates us!” - childish temper tantrums.

    I have been honest and straight forward with you - go back and read my posts and see what I have actually said.
    Stick around for awhile, see what you make of the Kirchnerist trolls on here. Not that I expect you to be able to form an objective opinion, you're too determined to feel insulted and incensed.

    “Marcos Alejandro”, the Kirchnerist is laughing at you, right on this thread.

    Good luck with the election on Sunday - for you personally, with your attitude, I don't know if you'll get any more than you deserve.

    @Troy Tempest

    “Dany” has been a particularly malicious and insulting Troll.

    Malicious, insulting? Are you joking or what?

    Are you an intolerant fascist or what?

    I think that you have a problem with tolerance and to understand that everybody has the right to express their opinion even tough we don’t agree with them.

    As is public known Cabezadura and me do not agree in many things, we can insult each other or even have a kick boxing match but I will never think to used any despicable method to coerce his right to express his opinions as you have done.

    So I have to support Cabezadura on this because “Noblesse oblige” freedom has to be the first thing that we have to stick with even if it is contrary to our thinking or interests.

    Cool down and behave as a civilised person everyone will be more happy...

    what Anglos are you talking about?

    what porn are you talking about?

    Are you living in cave or what?

    That's 165 world leaders who have not been bugged.
    Think positive!

    Not at all, I prefer 1000 times people that are at least openly honest when they celebrate courts ruling against Argentina, and inflation rates exploding or that say there full intention is to bomb or nuke us. They are not my friends but at least I know where I stand with them, and actually you can have a civilized conversation with them. Respect goes the two ways. Its not the case with you Im afraid

    It can’t get anywhere more sadder than you censorship and even trying to antagonize people who were actually getting along, you can’t be at war with 54% of your fellow countrymen all the time, it’s the way it is.
    However it was you that had deleted the comment referring to General Milani and Proyecto X, not him, neither DB or MA prevented me from doing so, it was you who really has being the Kirchnerite here. I mean what reason did you really have that particular comment removed?? It’s beyond me
