By Arturo Porzecanski of American University (*) - Jose Antonio Ocampo, a former United Nations official and co-president with Prof. Joseph Stiglitz of Columbia University’s Initiative for Policy Dialogue, which promotes the adoption of heterodox economic policies in developing countries, recently wrote a guest post welcoming a UN General Assembly resolution calling for the launch of negotiations on a multilateral framework for sovereign debt restructuring.

    Excellent article succinctly explaining the psyche of default embedded in The Dark Country from Nestor / TMBOA all the way down to the majority of citizens themselves.

    It won’t change such attitudes one iota: they are a bunch of deadbeats and honest people (and they do exist) have to suffer.

    Despicable bunch the Peronistas.

    Oh let's face the truth from an Argentine perspective. The jealous gang of corrupt European and North American nations have unfairly ganged up on the Argentine peoples to steal their wealth, plunder the countries natural resources and spread their venom upon the children of San Martín for the past 100 years solely due to devious greed and jingoistic jealousy.
    Despite the unselfish sacrifice of hard work and honest intentions by the President and her administration to help the Argentine nations populace to emerge to their rightful position as beacon of freedom, democracy and universal prosperity, the enemies of the nation continue to commit a economic conspiracy to defeat the Peronist dream of a united Latin American democratic workers paradise.

    As part of my portfoliio, I have shares in British Gas.

    ”...such as British Gas (BG Group), which won an award for $186m plus interest back in 2007 in the ICC Court, an award reviewed and ratified by the US Supreme Court in March of this year, are still awaiting payment”

    Therefore Argentina owes me money.

    This is exactly why I call you an idiot child. Everything Professor Arturo Porzecanski writes is well documented.

    In your state of schizophrenia, you were even unable to understand, that Professor Porzecanski was commenting on a faulty article by Ocampo.

    Claiming, in this connexion, that Ocampo (who defends Argentine policy) has an axe to grind against Argentina is the summit of idiocy.

    What a bunch of nonsense spewed by an advocate of the vultures that does not precisely contributes to the editorial reputation of this medium.
    Of course, the two overwhelmingly supported decisions at the UN are big Argentina victories at the political international level.
    As I wrote here a few months ago, Paul Singer thought Argentina would be a walk in the park as it had been the Latin American and African countries he previously plundered with the help of complicit/complacent judiciaries. Argentina, however, was going to be the hard place where the vulture would break its beak. The days for the Singers of this world to do their deeds with impunity are now being counted.

    This fool fails to realize that the only reason the US is “growing” is exports and if commodities fall Latin America stops buying US products, and if Europe is still in crisis they don't buy, and if China falters they don't buy. Also if the US really becomes an oil-exporter (very speculative), and prices fall then they would be selling oil at a loss because Fracking requires a high-base price.

    What a fool. The USA economy is going nowhere if other regions in the world go down like he predicts.

    So now that UN members overwhelmingly voted in support of anti-vulture legislation and also to investigate the link between vultures and human rights violations the UN is not good anymore?
    To the world's shame, only a handful of the most developed countries, UK and US included, voted against the initiatives, effectively revealing who protects whom, and where the buck stops.

    I think what he means is there should not be a global “system” that requires nations to BORROW.

    It is the biggest myth in world economic history that DEBT is an ineluctable condition for progress. This ludicrous tenet has been dogmatically foisted onto international finance and through paltering and false premising and promising, become an inveterate “part” of the sham that is capitalism today.

    Since most nations now have been brainwashed into believing debt is the ONLY path out of poverty (think about the cogency of such a concept), carrying debt has become de fact obligatory. Since lenders know this, they have no reason to fear or negotiate: all nations must borrow, so lets have them borrow as much as possible, drive them to bankruptcy, and afterwards unremittingly dun. Once the usury is successful, the process reboots and initiates a new cycle.

    Nations become impoverished, peoples are pauperized. Bankers grow ever richer and more powerful.

    Modern capitalism encapsulated.

    Exhibit A of this “mentality”, and I am perhaps abusing of using this word loosely, is perspicacious to grasp @64.

    Any active or casual reader here should SCRUTINIZE the following words:

    “Nobody makes anyone borrow you idiot. Gads you're stupid.

    Soon you'll see what its like to live in a pay in advance nation.”

    Let's reflect upon this pair of statements. The first one avers that NO ONE forces anyone to take on debt, to borrow.

    The second statement AT BEST adjures, and at worst issues ominous warning, about what will transpire if one does not borrow.

    The analogy to this is: “you don't have to give me you wallet. Soon you will see what it feels like to have a hole in your head if you don't”.

    In contrast, you spend your time creating bogus identities and travel stories, and stalking (eg. CaptainSilver), mining for personal information, all to bait and intimidate other posters.

    How much of your energy do you put towards this each day??

    65. False Analogy
    In an analogy, two objects (or events), A and B are shown to be similar. Then it is argued that since A has property P, so also B must have property P. An analogy fails when the two objects, A and B, are different in a way which affects whether they both have property P.

    Your lack of education is painful.

    And yet Nostril's sole purpose in life is to accumulate more knowledge. Perhaps he should study economics next time instead of adding another useless language. His failure to understand basic economics shows that his raison d'etre has been wasted.

    It's interesting that you pull up Troy on not posting his email address when logically there is no need as I posted mine (as I have done several times before anyway) but you failed to even have the courtesy to reply to me after raising (yet again) your confusion when my reality challenges your assumptions.

    “I also don't believe a word you say.....3 months off work just for the asking....”
    Minimum annual leave requirement in Australia is 4 weeks. Which you can accumulate. So 3 months leave is entirely possible.

    However that is not the case with me. But my job will be here when I come back. I already said that my job takes into account my studies.

    “...you would also have to pay for your tuition fees..no bursary with a job.... More likely is no job and free studies as you may qualify....or more likely it's all bullshit....”
    I haven't paid a cent so far for my degree. It is called HECS-HELP and is deferred through the tax system - http://goo.gl/uZCw6u I definitely don't qualify for free study. I just pay for books and art supplies.

    “How convenient it's Vancouver where Troy is supposed to be....”
    Really? I'm going to Mexico for 2 months but it is convenient that I will be in Vancouver for 3 days? Get some perspective, I study Urban Design and Planning - Vancouver, Portland & LA all feature heavily in my studies.

    “...and what is this...Oh Troy I have emailed you...? That's theatrics for our benefit....he would know....are you guys in the stone age my emails come to my phone....”
    I was being polite. If he hadn't told me I wouldn't have known. I only use this email address to login in here so I didn't have it set up on my phone - I don't need Mercopress updates every 3 hours. iPhone 5S in case you are wondering - yes I'm a Macboy.

    Shame on you. I will suggest you either don't know what you are talking about or you lack the slightest empathy for fellow human beings. Picture yourself kidnapped; handcuffed, blindfolded and then submitted to all sorts of atrocities for days, weeks and months, asked questions you may nor may not have an answer for, all that for days, weeks or months in a row until you are but the shadow of yourself, then you are sedated, loaded on a plane and dropped in the ocean, all without prior process so you may or may not be a Communist or whatever other sort of sinner your sick mind estimates worth of being exterminated.
    You say you would not be on that situation because you are not a Communist? I got news for you. In the Argentina of the 1970s you did not need to have that magic Party Card. You could be a Catholic priest and still be at risk; in fact several were murdered by the military. You could have been a high-school student, a home maker, a lawyer or journalist or whatever else you may think of.
    Many of your fellow Argentine ex military dictators are now rotting in prison after undergoing legal trials; you would probably be in good company, and perhaps could teach them how to do better the next time.
    Shame on you.

    Just so you know, a civilized state cannot respond to whatever horror happens by unleashing more of the same. That is the difference between terrorism and state terrorism, and that is why those responsible for crimes against humanity in the 1970s are offered fair trails. Their victims were no that lucky.
    You are implying the civil population did something bad enough to deserve what happened between 1976 and 1983.
    And again, just so you know, the thousands kidnapped, tortured and killed never faced a trial in which their guilt or innocence could be determined. Not even babies were spared from the piously Catholic generals.
    I can't believe we are still in 2014 debating what happened in Argentina 40 years ago. But as the saying goes, “none so blind as those who will not see.”

    You seem a little off course.

    The UN is not a Court of Appeal for debtor nations.

    Your government, the previous administration and the current administration, have perpetuated the crisis they find themselves in.
    As the elected and legal government of Argentina, they have refused to pay back money they borrowed, they refuse to honour their contractual obligations, and when the Court jurisdiction they DID agree to, found against them in judgement, they refuse to abide by the legal ruling, despite being granted a 70% concession on their debt.

    In effect, Argentina has stolen over $70b from ordinary retirees, after promising to pay it back, with interest.

    Now, you say, “ not fair, you're tyrants!”

    You have no moral high ground.

    So you were clocked going 89 on 15 somewhere in the winding hills of PA right before you hit NY? And you didn't have to post bail? Driving a foreign plated car w/ a foreign license.
    Hmm that sounds a bit far fetched.

    So go ahead and prove us to look foolish...go ahead, we're waiting.

    While you're at it post the link to the original discussion where you could make it from Pearson, JFK and Dulles to Trout Run.
    Go ahead

    Golly,

    I love his threats “.... another one who's going to look foolish when I post the ticket of my photo... ”

    I just googled NY speeding tickets, and clicked 'images'

    I got thousands of NY speeding ticket images.

    I'm sure there's one near Corning.

    Same for Penn. tickets as well.

    Here's an example:

    He didn't originally specify. He said “ near Corning”

    Now he says it was in Penn. “ near NY border”

    Here's Hwy 15 in Penn - check out the StreetView photo
    - 2 lane blacktop - 89?? sure... Troopers don't like that from foreigners - he'd be in the local pokey and car impounded.

    Voice and Think tend to double down when they are proven wrong.
    I wonder why they both tend to do the same thing?

    So, I've driven through that part of PA at least 25X in the last decade. It would be pretty hard to stump me on anything there.
    Funny story, one time I took an old 79 240D we keep around at the summer house on that hwy and the hills were so steep the best I could do was get it up to 40-45 with all of these cars blowing their horns at me but couldn't pass because it was too dangerous or wasn't allowed. It was hilarious but I never did that again :)

    Drivers side huh....well, perhaps NY State is a little behind the times in protocols approaching cars. It's far safe, better inside and a clear and easy head shot approaching on the passenger side. SOP in Massachusetts for Troopers and in fact all of the New England states. Even the locals use it now.
