Argentina ‘malvinazing’ history through ‘mature nationalism’ says president on Malvinas war 33rd anniversary

Friday, April 3rd 2015 - 03:28 UTC
Full article 114 comments

Argentina is ‘malvinazing’ (Malvinas) its history, but not through chauvinist patriotism but mature nationalism that seeks international law and peace to recover sovereignty over the Malvinas Islands, said president Cristina Fernandez during the 33rd anniversary of the beginning of the South Atlantic conflict on 2 April 1982.

    Malvinazing funnily, but hardly surprising enough, contains the word NAZI.

    Old, tired and ineffective arguments from an old, tired and ineffective president.

    How do you you like the way CFK sums up,

    ”... those who sunk in the Belgrano (navy ship) are martyrs of the territorial independence and there is still a part missing. Because there will be no full July 9 (Argentine Independence Day) until we can recover our Malvinas Islands.”

    She speaks of “martyrs” in the cause, and the continuing campaign to take what is not theirs, riling the Arg. people up to believing it should be theirs...

    exactly what she criticised the junta and the British of doing!!!

    It's laughable.

    Does any of this rant and rave make sense. We shouldn't blame them for the war they started and which saw Argentine's dancing in the streets on April 2nd 1982?

    How ridiculous is that?

    They have a history of “peaceful cooperation”? Really? Perhaps I missed that.

    As for the Chagos - they've just been stuffed by the latest PCA decision. Now the UK has to consult with Mauritius on the future of the Chagos as Mauritius will eventually get the archipelago back. Can anyone really see Mauritius allowing the return of ex-Mauritians (now Brit citizens) to a part of their territory when those British citizens have ideas about self-determination?

    And as to how we spend our money? What's it got to do with CFK?

    The only threat to that region is Argentina. Ask its neighbours

    Nothing more than a swivel - eyed rant. Sinister in places, talking of “mature Nationalism” ; ironic in others when she speaks of “youngsters always being canon-fodder” and downright duplicitous when she talks of “militarisation” . Bluster and verbose.Verbal flatulence , populist in context, bereft of any gravitas.
    But perhaps the saddest part of this diatribe is Kirchner genuinely believes her own rhetoric and in doing so has not only failed her own nation and people. She has let down a whole region ,profoundly.

    If it's such “an inhospitable and awful territory” then why does she want it so badly? Just let go, you'll feel much better for it.

    Argentina won't lose face when it finally stops going on about the Falklands, instead it will begin to regain international credibility and respect. At the moment it has neither.

    Isn't this the representative of a nation that keeps complaining that the UK is ignoring UN Resolutions. Well apparently the UK isn't the only one.
    Ref.: 2225(XXI)
    The General Assembly,
    Deeply... ...without distinction of any kind,
    Recognizing that full observance of the principle of the non-intervention of States in the internal and external affairs of other States is essential to the fulfilment of the purposes and principles of the United Nations,
    Considering further that direct intervention, subversion and all forms of indirect intervention are contrary to these principles and, consequently, constitute a violation of the Charter of the United Nations,
    Mindful that violation of the principle of non-intervention poses a threat to the independence, freedom and normal political, economic, social and cultural development of countries, particularly those which have freed themselves from colonialism, and can pose a serious threat to the maintenance of peace,
    1. No State has the right to intervene, directly or indirectly, for any reason whatever, in the internal or external affairs of any other State. 4. The strict observance of these obligations is an essential condition to ensure that nations live together in peace with one another, since the practice of any form of intervention not only violates the spirit and letter of the Charter of the United Nations but also leads to the creation of situations which threaten international peace and security.

    “Things are changing not only in our country, where we have began to ‘malvinize’ our history which does not mean a chauvinist patriotism...”

    ...but it *does* mean changing history to further your most precious political ploy, the Malvinas Lie.

    “...that seeks international right, dialogue and not the militarization in the path to sovereignty”

    You have no legal or moral claim to the Falklands that you can prove.

    You've refused honest dialogue by insisting any outcome favour you *before* negotiations, and refusing to acknowledge the legitimate inhabitant's interests.

    Your ”path to sovereignty“ is based on lies.

    ‘the population living in the disputed territories are British with the native Argentine population been expelled by the UK in 1833’.

    Another lie. The military garrison there illegally was removed by the rightful holders of sovereignty. The Argentine population was invited to stay. Some *chose* to leave.

    The current Islanders can trace their heritage from those who stayed. They *are* the legitimate inhabitants of the British Falkland Islands. That is what Mr Prescott refers to.

    ”...How can they thing Argentineans pose a danger?”(sic)

    Let's see - you've lied about the Falklands since before your illegal invasion, you refuse any fair arbitration or honest dialogue, and some of your future military purchases have been boasted as being able to reach the Falklands.

    You even proudly boast of lying to your *children* about the Falklands. That's the part that sickens me the most.

    ”Because there will be no full July 9 (Argentine Independence Day) until we can recover our Malvinas Islands.”

    Then there will be no full July 9. The Falklands are not yours, nor have you ever had any proper claim to them. It's time you stopped lying.

    A good start would be to acknowledge the Islands self-determination vote and admit their decolonisation.

    Unfortunately, the Malvinas Lie has turned into a sunk-costs fallacy for you. I hope you can tell the truth someday.

    Dr Goebbels was right.
    “Tell a lie, long enough & often enough & people will eventually believe it to be so”.
    Only thing is, its worked on them too well, but not the rest of the world, who it was aimed at also.
    We will never have peace until Argentina fragments.

    “When we went to the Islands it was not because of the decision of a democratic government. Don’t let them hold us responsibility because they shut up when the institutional order in Argentina was broken on March 24 (1976), I listened to no power protest when thousands of Argentines were tortured.'
    You need to try again, woman. On this very forum, there are 'people' who constantly criticise the British Empire. An institution that lasted for more than 360 years. We don't see any criticism of the many other empires. How about the empires of the Aztecs, Brazil, the Dutch, the French, the Incas, the Italians, the Ottomans, the Romans, the spanish. If present-day argieland can't be held responsible for the actions of the Junta, then present-day Brits can't be held responsible for the actions of the Empire. In fact, it's not a good comparison. The British Empire existed BEFORE the 'current' rules of international society. The actions of the Junta, and the 'people' that lived with it, took place DURING our current 'modern' society. If argieland can't be held responsible, why does it now act in much the same way? Are all those people filmed dancing, singing, flag-waving in the streets in April 1982 now dead? Argieland IS responsible. But, to clarify that, argieland isn't responsible. Because argieland doesn't understand the concept of 'responsibility'. We can see that Germans and Japanese still feel responsible for what took place during the WW2 era. When WE, and those others, who suffered are prepared to say that those presently living are not responsible, they can say that they aren't responsible. Argieland IS responsible for 1982. And it's extending the period of responsibility every day. If EVERY argie policy and attitude toward British territories in the South Atlantic were to be reversed TODAY, argieland might be able to start to say that it isn't responsible somewhere around the year 2115! Argieland IS a live threat.

    THE WOUNDS OF A TORTURED NATION. (Part one).
    Firstly iwant to say that i dont' have any problem in debating with people who don't think like me, in fact, i always read ALL the comments that many forists make in refference to my lectures, however, if i don't answer some of them, is because i'm not disposed to give entity to reactionaries who insult me, or who make too ignorant and despisable comparisons, sorry, but i have never liked wasting my time with such mediocre people.
    As i said a few weeks ago, we can't turn the page still, not only for the shameful decision of our court, in relation to the denounces for tortures during the war, but also because the u. k. doesn't have any will of resumming the negotiations with arg. , in order to find a peaceful solution for this conflict.
    I will always understand the desesperation that all the islanders must have felt during the 76 days of the invasion, because actualy it is the same one that planty of our compatriots felt for more than 7 years and a half, in fact, many of them are still looking for their relatives who are dissappeared.
    I know that after reading this, there will be some forists who will remind the fact that plaza de mayo was full of citizens , when galtieri announced that arg. recovered the sovereignty of the islands. However those ignorants don't know that he said that, ``we have recovered without any rancour, the sovereignty of the austral islands...´´, which was actualy false. On the other hand, in that moment there was not any freedom of press, in fact, all the information that came from the islands was all distorted on behalf of the interests of the junta. There are excellent documentaries about the deceitful propaganda of the dictatorship during the war.
    Anyway, despite that fact, human rights organizations who fought against the dictatorship , made also a very big march which lemma was, yes to malvinas, no to the dictatorhsip...........

    THE WOUNDS OF A TORTURED NATION. (Part two).
    Beside, the lemma of mothers from plaza de mayo was, The Malvinas are as argentines as the dissappeared people. Unfortunately, not many people remember it. Some of their members, were also victims of the junta.
    On the other hand, since the end of the war, the islanders aren't victims anymore. The actual scenario, is the the result of their own intransigence and hyocresy. Nobody is asking them to leave the islands, nobody is asking them to renounce to their british nationality, and nobody is asking them to renounce to their wish of remaining under british government. However they complain about the hard decisions taken by the government from buenos aires, at the same time that they continue to exclude arg. of exercising it's sovereign rights over the islands. They just insist on their hypocritical lecture about the application of the right to self determination, when actualy public international right doens't apply that principle for absolutly all people under any circunstance.
    Anyway i agree on them every time they say that arg. should take the case to the i. c. j., in fact, in 1884 and 1888 arg. suggested taking the cause to an arbitration, which was rejected by the u. k., and in 1947, britain proposed to take the case of the dependencies from the islands, but i didn't include the malvinas in that proposal, after that year, none of the two nations proposed to analize the case again before the court.
    In contraty to what a few cretins say about me, i have never omitted the huge responsability of my country in the war. I understand the humilliation that many people in britain must have felt, when they saw their troops on the floor, threatened by our soldiers, published in all the newspapers. However, i won't never accept that the only one solution was a war, especially if we take into account that two years before, thatcher's government gave clear signals which show that britain wanted to get rid of the islands.........

    “because the u. k. doesn't have any will of resumming the negotiations with arg. , in order to find a peaceful solution for this conflict.”

    Argentina (Timmerman) was given the chance to discuss the Islands (I think in 2013?) but because two Islanders were to be present, Timmerman refused to have talks.

    I imagine that the UK had every intention of finding a peaceful solution, but the best way to find out would have been to Argentina to turn up.

    I don't know what you think Axel, but I say it is stupid beyond belief when you are offered the chance to talk about something you keep demanding talks on, to refuse dialogue?

    Falkland Islanders were present at talks between the UK and Argentina before 1982.

    If the Argentines see the Islanders as British and not native Falklanders (even if they were born in the Islands), then, as Argentina wants talks with the BRITISH, how logically can Timmerman object to talking with people born on the Islands? If according to Argentina's twisted logic that the Islanders are Argentinian, why not talk to them?

    Anyone with any brains can see that if Argentina is not prepared to talk to the Islanders, it will never come to the peaceful solution they claim to want.

    THE WOUNDS OF A TORTURED NATION (Part three).
    As i said in a few opportunities, if the islanders decided to forgive thatcher, despite the bad actions that her government took against them, i accept it absolutly, however i won't never buy the hypocritical explanation of some pro thatcherists who pretend to make people believe that she decided to go to a war, because she wanted the right to self determination for the islanders to be respected.
    Beside, there are some rabbles who told me in a few opportunities that we should thank thatcher, due to after the war, arg. could recover the democracy. I don't think that the recovery of the democratic sistem for argentinan was in thatcher's mind, when she decided to go to a war. It is is actualy one more of their hypocritical lectures.
    Although many of you don't accept it, there is something that thatcher and galtieri had in common. Both used this cause, in order to save their misserable governments.
    The idiot and criminal junta thought that if they invaded the islands, they would be able to push britain for a negotiation, they actualy didn't want any war, in fact, they were disposed even to accept the three flags proposal. However they didn't interpret correctly the social and political context of the u. k., which was being ruled by a neoliberal leader like thatcher. Although her monetary policies diminished inflation level, they provoked also a high number of unemployment, then, in that dramatic context, nothing would be better than a war, in order to recover popularity.
    What also bothers me, is the fact that galtieri is just remembered as the one who took the nation to a war, when actualy that son of a bitch was also responsable for the dissappearances of a lot of citizens in santa fe, when he was in charge of a relevant sector of the army.
    Unfortunatelly, not many people know it.

    Axel has said it better than I could and I entirely subscribe to his views.
    What matters today is:
    1. Argentina keeps claiming the Malvinas, as it has done regularly since the islands were taken from us.
    2. To do so, Argentina intends to stick to diplomacy. The 1982 war was a tragedy for both countries and actually spoiled Argentina's chances to negotiate the recovery of the islands.
    3. Although the 1982 occupation set the clock back, international conditions are fast evolving, and hopes for a peaceful and creative settlement that contemplates the rights of the islanders must not be abandoned. The agreement of the western countries with Iran would have been deemed impossible for most until just a few days ago.

    Argentina isn't excluded from exercising its sovereign rights over the islands because Argentina HAS NO sovereign rights over the islands, and never has.

    If you disagree take your case to the International Courts of Justice, but you'll have to have more than lies, half truths and a plastic doll to back you up.

    As for all your other comments they're just as deluded and erroneous as ever. You put forwards YOUR option like it is fact, and blatantly IGNORE the truth.

    Aren't you at least a little humiliated by your President and her clownish antics?

    @34 Enrique

    The only times the islands were taken from you were the 2 times you tried to steal them from the British. And they weren't taken they were recovered by the true and native owners.

    Argentina hasn't regularly 'claimed' the Falkland Islands, there was a period of over 91 years were Argentina never even mentioned the Falklands, thus your claim is a lie.

    Argentina cannot recover what was never yours. You tried to steal the islands twice, like thieves, and you would try again in a heartbeat IF you thought you could get away with it.

    You say you want to create a peaceful settlement that 'contemplates' the rights of the islandsers BUT that isn't the same as GUARANTEEING the rights of the islanders.

    The islanders already have everything that they want. What can Argentina offer them that is better than self determination and freedom?

    But you are right about one thing, the relationship between the islanders and Argentina could be improved. But it is Argentina itself that blocks this, with your horrible and racist attitudes towards the islanders.

    If you are truly serious about mending bridges you must 1st PROVE that you respect the islanders. To start with you can stop CELEBRATING the start of a war you instigated in order to steal their lands and enslave or murder them and APOLOGISE UNRESERVEDLY for it.

    Until you do that you cannot and will not be trusted.

    And which people is she talking about, the hour of the Argentine people to occupy the Islands, or the hour of the Islands people to determine their own future?

    Of course bellicose and belligerent Argentina is no threat to a population of illegal British squatters with no right to be there, in fact having no rights at all.

    It’s an “egalitarian society”, unless you happen to be one of the implanted foreign squatters, like the Mapuche

    Telling other people how to run their budgets, because she has made such a good job of running Argentina, into the ground.

    As for the shameless playing of the Nationalist card, for short term political gain, it’s unthinkable.

    Never in the history of diplomacy, has dialog been more unnecessary than with this woman.

    Describing invaders, however hapless, as “martyrs” is most definitely blasphemous, just as praying to blue plastic statues is.

    Correct “there will be no full July 9” she got that bit right at least.

    @ 30 axel arg
    According to the UN charter, the Decolonisation declaration Res 1514 and Ban Ki-Moon on many occasions, ALL THE TERRITORIES ON THE LIST have the right to self-determination.

    The right undeniably applies to these people in this situation. It’s all written up on the UN web site.

    30 years ago when they used to hide this sort of information in books, which few ever read, you could talk this rubbish unchallenged.

    An Argentinian shepherd was found dead after having sex with a scarecrow that he had dolled up in a wig and lipstick – and manned up with a strap-on sex toy, according to The Daily Mirror.
    Neighbors reported a foul odor emanating from the San Jose de Balcare home of Jose Alberto, 58, whose rotting remains were found by police next to his stuffy date.
    “I initially thought there were two bodies but then I realized one was a scarecrow wearing lipstick and a long-haired wig,” said Rodolfo Moure, a spokesman for the prosecutor’s office. “It was lying next to the deceased and had a six-inch strap-on penis.”
    The scary scene showed no signs of violence between the lovers, he added.
    “We are working on the assumption that the man died during sex with the scarecrow,” Moure said. “We are now waiting the results of an autopsy.”
    The apparently reclusive Albert lived alone and didn’t have a cellphone.

    Both of you seem to be unaware that the Argentine claim to sovereignty of the Falklands/Malvinas is based on:

    Falklands / Malvinas are the measure of Argentine crisis. The more the Argentine Government outputs Falklands issues the deeper the crisis in Argentina.
    What the President says is that things are terrible in Argentina so she has even assigned a Minister and writes Malvinas on the buses. When Argentina was wealthy and one of the first world economies, the Falklands were not even on Argentine maps. How sad.. could be a great country..

    A country like England would never allow the people who live and reside in the Falklands to come under the jurisdiction of a mismanaged, corrupt socialist regime such as one that exists in Argentina.

    When you refer to Argentina you should be saying them. Us for you is Canada. Your senility tends to take the better of you and you forget where you ran away and live in exile at.

    It goes like this:- I'm a stupid, ignorant, self-opinionated wanker with a fart for a brain that thinks his dumb 'comments' can be dignified as 'lectures'. If you're going to 'lecture', axel, do it to those less intelligent than yourself. It'll be quite easy. They'll be in SoAm. Not in Britain or the Falkland Islands.

    So sorry for your compatriots. But not much. Isn't it supposed to be 30,000 'disappeared'? That was the figure the Kirchner bitch herself used only the other day. Well, tough shit. Unlike you, I was an adult in 1982. In Britain, we always knew that our troops would beat you shitless. But there's a little feature that you might not know. After watching the way that your scummy conscripts and so-called elites treated our courageous Royal Marines, who were outnumbered at least 10 to 1, but fought anyway, NOBODY in Britain would have objected if our wonderful Margaret Thatcher had authorised the use of Britain's Polaris nuclear missiles.

    Did argieland have 30 million inhabitants in 1982? Glad to see the end of all of them! We haven't changed much. You're still scum the world can do without. Think how the world would thank us if you were obliterated!

    Now here's a little tip. You're supposed to be a 'teacher', and therefore a propaganda prat. But you can't tell US what to think, unlike the poor children forced under your nazi-style 'education'.

    So piss off and never come back. You don't have the brain of a slug, even if you look like one.

    The “Malvinization of History” is an ongoing criminal act by Argentine governments & Argentine civil service repeating Argentine junta “Las Malvinas son argentinas” propaganda directly to school children today

    “But what exactly is the ‘Malvinas cause’? Argentine political scientist Vicente Palermo, defines it as a discursive aspect of Argentine nationalism that includes “a narrative of the past, an interpretation of the present and a mandate for the future”, and which has helped to shape national identity.” Two factors have been crucial in developing & keeping the ‘Malvinas cause’ alive: the constitutional mandate & the education system, of which the Constitution is both cause & consequence”
    http://www.argentinaindependent.com/currentaffairs/newsfromargentina/las-malvinas-son-argentinas-who-taught-you-that/

    The Argentine fascists created a state education program to indoctrinate a false irrendentist revanchanist nationalist claim about the Falklands in order to create favourable political conditions in Argentina to seize these lands for Argentina

    The Islanders are ordinary human beings but they have been demonized as pirate English Thieves they are portrayed as scapegoats for the British assertion of its sovereign rights long long ago in 1833, when the reality is these events were not their doing

    The Islanders are held responsible for a disagreement between the AR & UK that happened 177 years ago & actually resolved by peace treaty in 1850. However, the neo-fascist politicians ignored this fact, because it doesn't fit well with their propaganda expansionist foreign policy

    Today Argentine neo-fascists politicians still use the same Junta pretexts to justify Argentine acts of aggression against the Islanders & so the Argentine State policy of dehumanization of the Falkland Islanders accelerates

    Sadly nobody in Argentina openly opposes these abhorrent policies rather there is evil sinful collusion on a huge scale by Academics & Pedagogues

    Shame on Argentina!

You have systematically and logically exposed her speech for what it is – a sad reflection on the current government of Argentina and by extension the whole country.

    At this time in particular, the anniversary of the date of the illegal and brutal invasion of a peaceful British territory, people expect a degree of contrition, perhaps an olive branch held out to the people of the Falklands or, if she can’t manage that, silence! But no she has to open her big yap and prove what everybody is thinking, that Argentina is a belligerent, fascist, failed state with nothing good to offer the human race.

    MY ANSWER.
    Firstly, i want to thank all those who gave opinions about my lecture, which i decided to divide in three parts, due to it was too long, but as i said in my comment 26, i won't give entity to reactionaries who insult me, or who underestimate me, beside, respecting the ignorant comments of a few rabbles, who try to compare some of the policies of the argentine government with fascism, nazis etc, i just can say it's evident that those ignorants don't have idea about what living under state terrorism is.
    While it is true that the members of the government from the islands manifested in different opportunities that they are disposed to talk to the argentine government about different issues, however they also said that they won't accept any discussion about the sovereignty, which is the main problem, then, their proposal of dialogue is just a farce.
    On the other hand, i can understand that for many of you, it is much more convenient to keep on believing that only our representants make a too partial lecture about the historic aspects of this conflict, and about self determination. If they decided to be serious people, and investigated deeply as i did, instead of believing the propaganda of their country, they would realize that actualy this cause is much more complicated. As far as i'm concerned, i have investigated about the historic and the legal aspects of this conflict for the last 5 years, and i have signalized what both sides omit in a lot of my comments in mercopress since 2010.
    On the other hand, c. f. k. was very clear respecting the posture of our country in relation to this case, in fact, in 2012 she read before the u. n. a secret proposal which was being treated between arg. and the u. k., which was based on a shared sovereignty, perhaps, it would be a good idea, because it respects the wishes and the rights of both parts.
    Finally, respecting the posibility of taking the case to the i. c. j., in my comment 30, i say what i think about it.

    “...was never tortured”

    A case in point - I was repeating your original arrogant bragging.

    Of course, when you were called on it, and your boast was met with disdain - you amended your story.

    Do you remember issuing some “ LOL 's” or “Ja Ja ja's” about it - hoping to get under our skins??

    Of course, that was just your fantasy life - it turns out after all, you NEVER were a Tupa, despite telling us about fighting against the elected government in the 70's.

    We never hear you support Maduro anymore.

    Mind you, we NEVER hear you criticise the actions of his brutal regime, either.

    In spite of your idealistic ravings, you have no integrity.

    Stevie ... er, Guzz, is no Tupamaro or former Tupamaro. He's not even Uruguayan, and he's best ignored.

    What? Stevie……a troll?
    Can't be, he thinks that he is right all the time!
    Stevie- vive l'arrogance.
    (and guess what, Stevie? We still have the Falklands & you DONOT!).

    Hi guys!

    Read the post at 94: I think we are seeing the onset of yet another breakdown.

    I do hope so. :o)

    C'mon, take it easy on Stevie.

    He dedicated his life to making society and the lot of the poor, better in Venzla, and Uruguay.

    An ardent Socialist.. er... Communist.., no, an “Anarchist”, he was a contemporary of Pepe's, took turns driving the getaway car after bombings and bank jobs, etc....
    Living in exile, a martyr.. banished by Operation Condor, he had to content himself with seeing Venzla become the Socialist utopia he and Pepe, and Chavez, dreamed of - fondly thinking back on the good old days of torturing CIA operatives... what a guy.

    Seemingly ageless - he makes fun of Poppy for “being old”.

    Somehow, he has moved back to Uruguay, if he is to be believed...

    Stevie can't remember his boasts and his lies, from one day to the next.

    Easy lot! Not my fault you can't figure your own little game out.

    Here's a hint, we means we, as in when you invented antibiotics, technically speaking beaten by the ante...

    @ 92 lsolde
    Superb post!

    Quite, well... ? How should I put it ?

    Oh well, following on from your example, honesty and forthrightness is best.

    Isolde, my dear, you are indeed, absolutely fucking marvellous!

    :-)))))))))))))

    You only increase in my estimation! Everyday.

    I can only hope to emulate you, one day.

    You have a firm ally with me.

    More strength to your elbow, as they say!

    PS:
    I am reposting this, because it needs to be said again;

    “Yes [Argie-apologist], whatever you say.
    l'm arrogant & will not be controlled by a fifth rate, desperate, dysfunctional, corrupt rogue state, like Argentina.
    Or their fellow travellers like our friend [Argie-apologist].
    I'm arrogant enough to despise you & Argentina & all your lies.
    Who are you to judge?
    So if someone doesn't conform to the [Argie-apologist] mould, they are the judged “arrogant”?
    Kiss my ass, [Argie-apologist].”

    Thank you chaps, l try.
    lt must eat away at their very souls, to find that we are not a pushover & they will never get these lslands.
    The irony is that we could/should be friends, but they just have to prove that they are better(they think)& that we will knuckle down(which we will not!).
    Then of course there is the Falklands strategic position & the OIL!
    So sorry for you, Argentina,(not really!), you had your chance & you blew it.
    No prizes for second best.

    @ 106 Troy Tempest

    Never forget the best one of all: he claimed he had developed an energy machine which cost nothing to run!
    Yes, I think the voices in his head are getting more strident.

    NOW for TMBOA on democracy in Argentina:

    “TMBOA talks with the children”

    TMBOA, wanting to get on the good side of voters for her delegates, goes to visit a school in BsAs to have a chat with the kids. She talks to them about how Argentina is a powerful nation and how she wants the best for the people.

    At the end of the talk, there is a section for questions, little Paula puts her hand up and says “I have two questions”

    “Why did we invade the Falklands?

    And why are we sending troops to the border with Chile?”

    TMBOA says ”Good questions“.

    But just as she is about to answer, the bell goes, and the kids go to lunch. When they come back, they sit back down and there is room for some more questions, another girl, Josephina, puts her hand up and says ”I have Four questions“

    ”My Questions are - Why did we invade the Falklands?

    Why are we sending troops to the border with Chile?

    Why did the bell go 20 minutes early?

    And where is Paula?”

    Out of the mouths of babes!

    LOL,
    The perpetual energy machine, how stupid is this “Stevie”?

    That's only a rhetorical question, Stevie.

    :-)

    I wonder how many “Paula's” there are in Arg. and Venzla?

    History will probably show that Argentina a once mature democracy was brought to its knees by loonys , usurpers , squatters and CFK

    All ex members of the escaped nutters association from the local asylum house,

    A once proud nation reduced to the begging bowl of democracy,
    who claimed anything and everything that moved or rigid as long as it was in Argentina interest,

    escaped nutters who, elected by the people became so obsessed with someone elses territory or land, destroyed their own country in pursuit of this and other false claims, just to give CFK the lunatic her victory,

    history, would you read it, lolol
