Very unneighbourly to dumb your rubbish over the fence Think.
Jun 23rd, 2019 - 04:51 pm - Link - Report abuse +5Perhaps not in Argieteena
Perfectly legal..., normal & acceptable to scatter human ashes discreetly in Argentina..., the UK and the EU..., copper...
Jun 23rd, 2019 - 05:05 pm - Link - Report abuse -7Therefore..., as the Malvinas are Argentinean AND..., for a short while still..., associated with the EU..., I can't see the big problem...
Whatever else Menendez did, he saved a lot of lives by surrendering against the orders of his superiors. Fighting through the streets of Stanley would have been extremely bloody.
Jun 23rd, 2019 - 05:07 pm - Link - Report abuse -1But why all the cloak and dagger stuff? Islander1, if his family had asked to scatter the ashes in the Islands, do you think they would have been refused?
Perfectly normal in Argieland to scatter human ashes over your neighbours' (foreign) territory Think? Explains a lot about you.
Jun 23rd, 2019 - 05:15 pm - Link - Report abuse +5DT - I believe that the FIG have already said that if permission had been requested for the ashes to be scattered at the Argentine Military Cemetery (nowhere near Darwin) it would likely have been granted. But as permission was never sought, we'll never know.
All assuming that this report is actually true, of course. There does not seem to be much in the way of evidence.
“Brutal occupation”? hahahahaha LYING PANSIES
Jun 23rd, 2019 - 05:26 pm - Link - Report abuse -6................................................................................. The drama lying propaganda never ends with the British, does it?
How else can you keep being the bullying deceitful financial enslaving war mongrel robbers of the planet, if you don't keep everyone convinced first you are but sweet little convent bound victims! ROFLMAO
Menendez represented the illegal (Argentine definition) and brutal (accepted by all) Galtieri regime. The regime that was responsible for mass killings in its own country.

Heres a few choice words to accompany your xenophobic rant.
“It is better to be silent and thought to be ignorant then to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.” R. G. Risch

You've got your head so far up your ass you can chew your food twice.
Oops the maricón just coughed up another fur-ball.
...Oh and then “STRATEGIC” LOL LOL Strategic how? Is the plan for Menendez to magically reconstitute himself and call the troops in from the Islands?? LOL
Jun 23rd, 2019 - 06:21 pm - Link - Report abuse -8These are just words MercoPress chooses to maintain the inference that Argentina is the vicious aggressor . When in reality it is Britain who for the last 200 plus years has been the invader and the aggressor and the manipulating control freak in our Continent. It and its little pal across the pond.
If you want to occupy, penetrate, influence, dominate and control, you must be the attacker. But of course that cannot be the narrative of your conniving country can it? It must be the opposite. But nothing could be more hilarious than to say the Junta's recuperation of the Malvinas was “brutal”. Do you even know what happens elsewhere in the world Mr Summers? Do you know the manner the hutus settled their score with the tutsies in Rowanda? Do you know what soldiers normally do to innocent people when they invade their countries? The only people who were brutalized were the Agentine people, tortured and murdered. The same ones you are trying to malign now as “the enemies of the Islanders”, yet who also are the ones that in our entire 187 year territorial dispute history NEVER ONCE called for war or any form of aggression against the islanders. Not a single person ever! And so know you are going to say something completely stupid about the day after at Plaza de Mayo RIGHT? Well that's how brainwashed dumb you have all become.
If today there is animosity between the Argentine and the Islanders it is much more because that is what Britain and a handful of Islanders want and need. Not because the Argentine want it. The Argentine should be mad for a bunch of reasons, the islanders and the British have not stopped one day being insulting and offensive. And yet you are the invaders. You were brought to the islands in an invasive manner, while Britain manhandled Argentina cheated lied to it and manipulated its politicians
You are so full of crap Trimonde.
Jun 23rd, 2019 - 06:29 pm - Link - Report abuse +5Argentina invaded. An action decried by most of the world. Invaded. That is the reality.
Argies as the victims? Doesn't wash.
Beware .... your paranoia is showing.
There's something you should know, before you leave this world Mr Summers because maybe, just maybe there might be something good you can do about it for your people on the Islands.
Jun 23rd, 2019 - 06:58 pm - Link - Report abuse -6Do you want to know what your country and the U.S. are starting to get known for the world over? Your culture of dominating English speaking nations, are starting to get revealed increasing each day for being the countries that have always used medias of communications to fool the world, in order to be able to usurp the sovereign rights of nations and dominate their governments or political situations. With the advent of the Internet, people are now looking back at history and revising everything and seeing what the English language has been educating the world to believe, realizing that you're societies have functioned in support of your governments invasive manipulative thieving by disseminating the opposite narrative to what your country's actual hidden motives were. We now know there is a direct connection and motive between Silas Duncan's raid and the British usurpation of the Argentine settlement.
My advise to you is to make peace with Argentina and have an honest understanding and recognition of what Britain did to Argentina in so many instances, trying to always establish itself in our Continent so to have access to our resources. Unfortunately it always did it covetously with condescending invasiveness, all because it cannot stop wanting to fight, and so we inherited your country's envy of the Spanish Empire. Your country is a scourge in the world, it only understands how to thrive and survive through the dynamics of fighting and confronting, like a suburban scully or a bully. It destroys peace wherever it goes. It insults the dignity and honor of others in order to start a fight. We could have had friendship after the war. It could have easily been done because all the reasons were there to explain why friendship rather than animosity.
Incapable of seeing the world as one

@Think
Who are these millions of civilians I murdered, then?
Love to know where these innocent millions are that UK has allegedly been involved in the murder of in last 30 years?
Jun 23rd, 2019 - 10:39 pm - Link - Report abuse +6Think - I imagine you would be a bit pissed off if you came and found me shaking some old fart,s ashes around your garden? Even if you knew him.
Courtesy and asking first is the key. It also happens to be Christian as well - we are after all talking about the mortal remains of a human being- not ashes from the peat or coal fire!
Trimonde- you have a convenient memory considering you were in Stanley the night of the Invasion 1/2 April. So Arg Special Forces did Not go through the (luckily empty) British Marine Barracks with Phosphorous grenades into the rooms.
That elderly couple on Davis St had no need to be frightened when Arg soldiers put a shell through their roof shattering it and their plumbing system
And when Arg forces went to leave - those grenades left in school desks with the pins removed - were not grenades/ Same as the ones left in wool bale sheds jammed between 2 bales waiting for them to be moved?
And civilian men women and children were not held at gunpoint in subhuman conditions in direct breach of the Geneva Convention at goose Green and Douglas Station?
One'd think them Engrish had never invaded about 70% of tbe world the way you carry on...

Just Think about how many Civilians (Iraq..., Afghanistan..., Libya..., Syria..., Yemen..., ring a bell...?) you Engrish have killed in the last 30 years and then..., concentrate all your attention again on those brutal chess playing..., Tupperware carrying Argies that want their unproductive windblown Isles back...
Feeling better already...?
The appropriate way to dispose of his body would have been to throw it out of an aeroplane into the estuary of the River Plate.
Jun 24th, 2019 - 01:49 am - Link - Report abuse +4I think you might not be writing this think man , if it wernt for them helping mostly the right side in morality, they also took many countries out of the dark ages and we are talking back in the developing world so surely man and trouble won't be far behind , though we might have learnt this by now , but absolutely no winner the direction we are heading that's for sure
Jun 24th, 2019 - 01:56 am - Link - Report abuse 0They are not the Argies windblown islands to have back Think. Argentina was trespassing in 1833 - remember?
Jun 24th, 2019 - 04:45 am - Link - Report abuse +5Now I am told that Trimonde not only uses a photo of Alexander Betts but rants like him too. Couldn't really be the old quisling, could it? The man who abandoned his kids for a bit of totty and espionage?
Stop lying to yourself. The Islands were just your desire. You wanted to have them buy you left knowing Spain was going to continue making good on its rightful possession of them. Trespassing WHAT? liar, you have had ships and activities all over the world. But you were not established on the Islands. Your country pathetically presumptuously left a plaque, which means absolutely nothing politically without an active settlement. If they were British, why did the Americans call it “an Argentine colony” which was a mistake anyways as they were an integral part of Buenos Aires, and the nation that became Argentina. You did want the islands, and that's a different story. They weren't occupied by Britain until you invaded them in 1833.
Jun 24th, 2019 - 06:41 am - Link - Report abuse -7You think this is a joke Mr Lorton? You think people died and suffered on those islands so you can try to be cute and use stupid words like “trespassing” ?
@Think
Jun 24th, 2019 - 06:47 am - Link - Report abuse +3No millions, then. But you getting all 'woe is me' and trying to borrow other people's suffering to claim you're hard done by is pretty pathetic. Unlike in Iraq, Argentina started the war and the only Argentine civilians in danger were those you took to the battlefield. And for Islander1, the Argies smuggling things in and out actually are a concern. Ashes are harmless AFAIK, live ammunition is not.
@RL
So that's who the picture's of. I did wonder why he was using a photo of a random old man. But Trimonde said he wasn't born in Argentina, so either that was a Freudian slip or he isn't Betts. :)
I'm guessing he's from the country that's currently looking for an excuse to invade Iran...
Lying?
Jun 24th, 2019 - 06:58 am - Link - Report abuse +6Fact 1: Spain never raised its flag over the western islands after 1770.
Fact 2: Britain's establishment was completed before 1774
Fact 3: A Government inquiry in 1789 established that Britain's claim was intact.
Fact 4: France recognised British sovereignty in 1801/02
Fact 5: When Spain withdrew its garrison in 1811, it claimed only the one island - Soledad
Fact 6: Buenos Aires never raised its flag over the western islands
Fact 7: Spain's claim to Soledad had not failed and it still claimed that island in 1833
Fact 8: Buenos Aires was not a State and did not represent the UP/Confederation in 1829 when it announced its pretensions.
Fact 9: BA received two written warnings regarding the proposed trespass which it declined to respond too.
Fact 10: BA was trespassing in 1833.
So tell me, Alexander, did the USA recognise BA as having rights in 1832? Did the US envoy Baylies recognise British title? Did Washington continue to deny Argentine rights throughout the 19th century much to Quesada's annoyance? Did the USA in fact ask Spain in 1832 to confirm that it still held its rights to Soledad?
I never lie Mr. Quisling, nor do I think people dying is a joke. But then people died on the Falklands because of Argentina, not Britain.
I had heard that you had become a little deranged. It appears so. Guilt perhaps.

Margaret Thatchers ashes were reported to have been deposited in the gardens of the Casa Rosada in BA by an unknown well wisher with a note saying “ suck it up Argentina ”.

Marcos Alejandro is the guy you always talk incomprehensibly about football with. And I remember Isolde, wasn't she in her 40s? I bet your bomb-throwing grandkids are nowhere near that age.
Jun 25th, 2019 - 03:17 pm - Link - Report abuse +1As for Fido Dido, depending when he bought and sold he might have lost his shirt or become a millionaire by now. My partner mined some bitcoins just for fun in the early days, and then forgot all about them. Years later the price rose into the stratosphere, but after much frantic searching it turned out the hard drive they were on had long ago died and the bitcoins were gone forever. Shame, might have been fun to be rich.
I still can't type that Spanish ñ. I just copy and paste it when I need it, same with the ã in Portuguese names. And most English language news websites have started leaving them out, which sucks. If they don't want to use 'ñ' they should probably replace it with 'ny' so the pronunciation isn't completely borked.
No more Argentine visitors to the Falkland Islands.

- By the way..., Clara Petacci's mass rape before her assasination..., her coward execution ONLY for being a woman who loved a man..., her mass rape after assasination..., an finally the display of her dead body hanging for days upside down in the centre of Milano..., placed firmly the Partigiani at the same level as the beasts they were fighting against...
Una vera vergogna...!
Capisce...?
Think, I THINK you are an arrogant shit
Jun 26th, 2019 - 03:56 pm - Link - Report abuse +1Menedez was a senior officer in an army which practised illegal detention, torture, mass rape and mass murder. He may have avoided conviction for - those offences - he may even have been technically not guilty of them, but at the least he acquiesced in them. He knew what his colleagues were doing and did not protest or demur. He did not even resign his commission in disgust.

Certainly, her rape and murder diminished the partisans involved. It reduces them to the same level as the Argentine army, which went in for the same sort of behaviour on a large scale.
Signore Gallio..., il latino...

I “think” that Menendez's ashes should have been scattered over Stink's turnip patch....would perhaps give them a nice 'cowardly' flavor ?
