Falkland Islands reply to Milko Schvartzman comments on fisheries

Tuesday, August 11th 2015 - 15:46 UTC
Full article 35 comments

The comments by Milko Schvartzman on the Falkland’s fishery in FIS on 2 June 2015, are incorrect and uninformed in many areas. We reject the inference that the Falkland Islands Government promotes a fisheries industry based on modern-day slavery and on piracy. The Falkland Islands have a long history of responsible environmental stewardship, and we pride ourselves on protecting and safeguarding our unique environment and the natural resources therein.

    WTF? Two jokes of the price of one:

    Milko Schvartzman - Just your typical, unbiased GermanEuroHispanic 'heritage' Argentinian.

    Press TV - Iranian State broadcaster famous for its unbiased world view.

    Put the two together and what have you got: garbage in, garbage reporting out.

    Milko Schvartzman appears to have TWO strikes against him! He is 1) a Greenpeace spokesman and 2) an Argentine.

    Stirring up trouble where no major problems exist!

    For the sake of transparence and clarity, Milko Schvartzman's article “The tragedy of the South West Atlantic. Slavery and overfishing” is available at http://fis.com/fis/people/index.asp?l=e&article_id=60.
    Regrettably Mercopress only covers “certain” news but not others. Not surprising given its biased editorial (?) stance

    I am nos surprised you did nt include link to original article by Milko. Glad to see the old uninformed and racist gang is back.

    If you care to read UNdocument A/60/594 you will see that 1) Argentina reiterated the need for joint review of the unilateral and unlawfull measure adopted by the UK. 2) This was reflected in a joint press release of both UK and Argentina on 15 July 2005. 3) Since the UK continued to take unilateral measures in contravention with the bilateral understandings on cooperation for the conservation of fisheries resources and out of harmony with the spirit of cooperation, Argentina protested on 27 October 2005. This clearly refutes the last para oof this biased article.

    “UN document A/60/594” is not a “UN document” as such but a note verbale written by Argentina, which it asked the UN to circulate.

    This horseshit refutes nothing.

    The document you refer to is a letter from Argentina to the UN that tries to justify its withdrawal from the South Atlantic Fisheries Commission . It's last paragraph gives the game away

    “The Argentine Republic reaffirms its rights of sovereignty over the Malvinas
    Islands, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands and the surrounding
    maritime areas, which form an integral part of its national territory”

    Milko & fis.com have their own biased agenda - both Argentine. A 20 second scan of the language they use is enough to know where they stand.

    As for press TV, I still cant get my my head around this weird Iran/Argentine relationship; they murdered 100+; injured 500+; 20+ years ago on RG soil. No one prosecuted; the prosecutor suicided and they're still best buddies. Weird.

    WOT??
    OF COURSE THE SHITTY GOVERNMENT OF THE STINKY ISLETS PROMOTES ILLEGAL FISHERY, SLAVERY AND PIRACY.
    ALL THOSE TAIWANESE VESSELS ARE A SAD EXAMPLE OF THAT.
    AND THE GOVERNMENT OF THE STINKY ISLETS ARE THEIR BEST PARTNER.

    THESE BENNIES AND TAIWANESE ARE CONTAMINATING OUR SPLENDOROUS MAR ARGENTINO WITH THEIR STINKY PRESENCE.

    @10: “SPLENDOROUS MAR ARGENTINO”, I keep asking where this is. I've given you lists, links and information but still you persist! You base a whole philosophy on a single article, never open to the truth, only wanting to believe anything, no matter how facile or inane , that supports your warped view.

    Who has over-fished? What has happened to the catches reported in your waters? It certainly isn't anything to do with any fishing in the Scotia Sea, but much closer to your coastline, you idiot.

    Find me a link to a UN recognised website relating to this fictitious sea you keep banging on about, you polite, intelligent, well-mannered person, you!

    And while you're sorting that out, please explain to us all about UN Resolution 502. (I know it's not related, but you are such a wise individual, Paulie, please help us mere mortals out).

    If the “islets”, as you keep referring to them, are so offensively “stinky” (how is the Beano?), why do you want to colonise them?

    Fuck off and die, Paulie. Please! Before I die laughing!!

    @6. I'm surprised that there was no attempt to quote extensively from the material put out by Andres Loubet Jambert on FIS,. Betraying his mindset, he has wonderful ideas for turning Falkland Islanders into argies without their knowledge. Following on from that, he has equally interesting ideas for providing argie land titles in the Falklands. With information to be stolen from the UK Land Registry. Now these “suggestions” have interesting ramifications. For instance, in most of the world, identity theft or fraud is a criminal offence. Not something likely to bother argieland as virtually everything it does is either corrupt or criminal.

    Then there's land title. This is extremely serious. At first sight it might seem hilarious that argieland would maintain records of the titles to land over which it has no control. But is it?

    Consider, argieland issues “legitimate” IDs for all Falkland Islanders. It could reproduce those IDs at any moment. Then it starts adding “additional information” to the land title records. Before you know it, the “ID holder” and “land owner” has sold their land to an argie. How long before these supposedly “legitimate” records are questioned? How long before a couple of hundred argies arrive on the Falklands waving title deeds and the like and demanding entry so that they can oversee “their” property?

    With regard to the “fishing” story, “our” trolls have forgotten something. WE know that argieland lies as a matter of course. Now consider international bodies. The UN and C-24 never questions argie “evidence”. And yet, every time the “evidence” is given, dozens of lies are ignored. Have any of the south american countries that “support” argieland ever examined the “evidence”? Was that “evidence” supplied by argieland?

    Remember the argie “evidence” about pollution of the Uruguay River by proposed pulp mills? Where did the pollution actually come from? From the argie town of Gualeguaychú. It took EIGHT years for argieland to admit the truth.

    Strange to see that Sr Schvartzman has a LinkedIn profile showing that he left Greenpeace in March this year - so who is he campaigning on behalf of now?

    Nothing wrong with the Greenpeace organisation and many of their aims are in line with Falklands policy on preservation of the environments, etc, but I think that Milko is banging his own drum to his own or Argentina's beat.

    Another case of pointing out the splinter in the Falklands eye whilst the Iranian eye contains a huge plank.

    The bogus claims of worker abuse come from a country that hangs women who have been raped, slowly using a crane.

    Argentina's allies reflect themselves-despotic hypocrites going down the economic gurgler.

    WHAT THE FUCK HAS THE SURNAME OF THIS INTELLIGENT WRITER GOT TO DO WITH THIS ISSUE?

    READ AND LEARN WHAT THE ENGLISH DID WITH THE NATIVE POPULATIONS

    “We insisted on reserving the right to bomb niggers.” So David Lloyd George explained the British government's demand at the 1932 World Disarmament Conference to keep the right to bomb for “police purposes in outlying places”. Airpower had shown its value in spreading what Winston Churchill, when defending in 1919 the use of poison gas against “uncivilised tribes”, had called “a lively terror”.

    Correct.

    For every Argentine accusation made against the 'past' British empire it is so easy to find something that Argentina has done worse.

    And constant reminders of the Amerindians annoys them because it shows that despite apparently not agreeing with the old British empire, the Argentines in fact try to copy the worse excesses, i.e. accusing Britain of colonialism when Argentina wants to colonise the Falkland Islands against the Islanders wishes.

    And the murder of the Amerindians

    The Argentine government have still not recognised that pollution of the Uruguay river stems from raw sewage from the Argentine town of Gualeguaychú. They've been withholding the findings of an independent Canadian lab for years.

    Remind me - which country was it that unilaterally pulled out of the South Atlantic Fisheries commission which had been doing some really good work for at least 10 years? Oh yes - that'll be Argentina. There might be political differences between Argentina and the Falkland Islands but it is a great shame that these differences also extend into the scientific arena - but, of course, in Argentina everything is political.

    Like a kid-we can't have it all so we're not going to play.

    If they were smart they would realise they are not going to get the Falklands and make some money out of workers being employed in the Islands, supplying goods (and getting £s for them), and sharing resources.

    Its strange how they prefer to have nothing.

    An energy co want to a do a deal on my farm and insisted there was an option to buy some land they want to lease, so I said no deal.

    The company have dropped that demand and so it is likely they will make a lot of money by using my land, and I will make enough, without surrendering any property.

    Nobody gets entirely what they want, but both sides will get something acceptable.

    Argentina's government -we want everything or nothing.

    So they end up with nothing.

    Dumbasses.
