Argentina's Public Defender's Office set out a booklet with a list of recommendations for the adequate treatment by media of issues linked to the sovereignty dispute over the Falklands/Malvinas, South Georgia and the South Sandwich Islands, and adjoining maritime spaces with the purpose of avoiding inaccuracies towards audiences.

Disclaimer & comment rulesMy goodness Argentina is becoming ever increasingly frustrated about those telling the truth so they had to write a guide for the already indoctrinated to make sure their brain washing continues to be effective.
Mar 17th, 2022 - 11:14 am - Link - Report abuse +6The facts are that Argentina cannot provide actual legal proof of ever owning the islands.
It is merely a claim to own them.
You would think that the Falkland islands is the most important subject in Argentina at a time when their economy is failing and they are struggling to repay a massive foreign debt.
They have almost half their people living in or very close to the poverty line.
Their currency is worthless.
Their government is a criminal to it's own people.
But the best part is that Argentina has a history of land grabbing that they dont like you talking about. Often saying it is not relevant to the Falklands issue.
Truth is it is very relevant because the whole of Argentina was built on ethnic cleansing land grabbing.
We on the Falklands have been the only territory they have been so far unsuccessful in land grabbing though they have tried several times and failed.
This booklet is just another way of enforcing their lie.
Genuine Argentines will see it in exactly the same way.
It is clear that the people of the islands and others are getting their messages out and Argentina knows they are being rumbled.

The Argentine government issues a guide with recommendations to the media. It is of course a way to suppress other opinions. What happens if the the recommendations are not followed?
Mar 17th, 2022 - 11:47 am - Link - Report abuse +4The narrative of the islands are Argentine, they were stolen therefore anything after that is not relevant has been allowed to stand.
Mar 17th, 2022 - 12:05 pm - Link - Report abuse +5As each reason given as to why they were Argentine have been comprehensively dismantled, but all that happens is the next fantasy is restated.
There was no inheritance from Spain..any more than Argentina inherited Uruguay from Spain
There was no Argentine community under Vernet it was a business, for most of the time under Brisbane
There as no Argentine community under Mestevier it was a mutiny, a rape and murder for 10 weeks.
of course none of that is in the easy read guide.
By definition, any population that today exists on an uninhabited island is implanted
Indoctrination at its finest, Unfortunately the general public in Argentina cant see that,

Mar 17th, 2022 - 03:53 pm - Link - Report abuse +4They are keen to point out “ something that many ignore and which is that Malvinas belong to the province of Tierra del Fuego”.
Mar 17th, 2022 - 05:05 pm - Link - Report abuse +4Maybe not so keen to point out that “ this territory remained under indigenous control until the nation's campaign known as the Conquest of the Desert in the 1870s [i.e. the murdering of at least 1,000 of the rightful inhabitants], after which Argentina organised this section in 1885 as a territory”, and that it only became a sub-prefecture in 1884, and not a province until 1990.
In 1833, the Falkland Islands were almost 1000 miles from the Southern border of Argentina.
Once again - if the taking of 1000 miles of territory by lethal force in 1870 was acceptable, then so was the bloodless removal of a temporary occupation of fewer than 50 intruders in 1833.
If the events of 1833 were not acceptable, then it is also time that 1000 miles of Argentina was given back to the rightful owners.
We are pound shop nazis with a fetish for being dominated by pirates.

Argentina in 1810? Really? I guess it must be a typographical error. I have a copy of this wonderful document. It is a thing of wonder. I hope they bring it out at the next bash at the UN, or, better still, when they take their claim to the ICJ. It will make pleasant, light reading. How much did it cost? And how will they get their re-naming of key places ratified? I look forward, but I am not holding my breath!
Mar 17th, 2022 - 07:29 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Is it any wonder that no one can take Argentina seriously?
Mar 17th, 2022 - 07:35 pm - Link - Report abuse +2Argentina needs to remove its implanted population from Tierra del Fuego and decolonise the place.
On Monday March 20th they have to implement with the IMF a minute by minute emergency plan/ tactic/ procedure to avoid Argentina going in to default and they come up with this!
Mar 17th, 2022 - 07:39 pm - Link - Report abuse +2They are sad that very few know what happened before the usurpation.
Mar 17th, 2022 - 08:00 pm - Link - Report abuse +4Its relatively straightforward. Argentina knew there were competing claims for the islands, they knew that the Vernet business had all but failed and that Matthew Brisbane, a Scot was currently managing the business on the island.
So Argentina decided to cement its claim for the islands.
They designated E.Mestevier the Governor of the islands and he set sail on the SS Sarandi which had a crew of 26 soldiers and their families.
He arrived on the islands on October 6th 1832 and claimed the islands for Argentina.
You could absolutely claim, at that moment on October 6th 1832, Mestevier was an authorised governor of Argentina on the islands.
Unfortunately, Mestevier was murdered by the crew of the Sarandi, his wife was raped in front of their children, leaving no Argentine governor.
Britain, who had a conflicting claim arrived on the Islands on the 2nd January 1833 and peacefully ordered the murderers and rapists off the islands. They had been there less than 3 months.
I wonder if this actual history is the one the Argentine government want people to know?
1810? Declaring for the Spanish King was hardly a declaration of independence. I suspect that it's there to try and get around the embarrassing reality that Spain only claimed one island in 1811. Rather confirming that Spain had recognised British possession of the western islands in 1771. Oops, there goes another rubber tree plant ;-)

Monkeymagic, forget about Trimonde, he is far beyond reach, doesn't even know that all of Patagonia south of Bahia Blanca was robbed at gun point in Julio A(sesino) Roca in the 1878 genocide, that the provinces Chaco, Formosa and Misiones were robbed at gun point from Paraguay in 1870, and that all of the rest of Argentina was robbed at gun point from Spain in 1816.
Mar 19th, 2022 - 08:31 pm - Link - Report abuse +5Don Alberto. Patagonia was conquered by Argentine Europeans in the exact same way Europeans and all other cultures have been warring invading and conquering the world left and right for centuries, with the different we evolve and change the form of doing so, as we see today our newest war caused by clever Americans in the same ol' British tradition of offending and insulting with sneaky social and business encroachments until people loose the plot and they get the war they so much wanted. No human has more right to be entitled a higher degree of sovereignty just because English speaking racist ideologs have decided to identify a native original population (of primitive people, right?) Brazil, America and the rest of the modern world was repopulated identically the way the old world was. So take you clever prejudiced aggression strategies and shove them up your ass. Huh? How about that?
Mar 20th, 2022 - 02:10 pm - Link - Report abuse -10.
Monkeybullshit; I'll tell you how I have always called it. I've always called it for what it is. An occupying Junta's desperate attempt to hold on to power in hopes they were in time to change their future reputation, completely fooled by the clever American/NATO British strategy of giving them enough rope and false sense of tolerance to hang themselves with. Which means those nine hundred people was the cost the US and Britain were willing to sacrifice to have the war they wanted and needed to have happen on the islands. That was was not caused by Argentina, who has always been under the phony understanding that the UN considers it a territorial sovereignty dispute. One need only to listen to the language used by Britain and the English language in general, during that time to understand it was a military conflict they turned into a one sided war full out war before the landing even took place, as today we have much evidence of many things Britain and America did in order to prepared themselves before acting like they were shocked by the news. Lying cheating sacks of shit.
1870 is an awfully close time, this was the year the Argies genocided the natives of Patagonia (Unlike the US which genocided in the 1700s) the British population on the Falklands was already established by this point in time…

Not what MalviNazis usually say, I must say.
Saving the best till last, following the unprovoked and dastardly invasion by Argentina, an act that will live in infamy (infamy, infamy they’ve all got it infamy), the British used err, Bad Language no less, to turn a military conflict into a one sided war.

You come accross as someone who has never come to terms with the fact the Argentine invading forces were denied the chance to steal yet more territory.
After all the Argentine history is one of human greed and terrorism towards another.
That is how you managed to expand the length of South America.
You are a part of a history of ethnic cleansing.
Your country had no legal right to attempt to establish themselves on the falkland islands back in the 1830's any more than the right to attempt by an aggressive invasion on 1982.
That was an act against a peaceful people and Argentina should have been more punished than it was.
Your country is responsible for the disappearance of tens of thousands of your own people and you can be sure in a short time would have had every native falkland islander disposed of.
Your country is the lowest of the low.
Almost half your people now live in poverty another crime against humanity.
One day these good people will rise up and put down the government of destruction once and for all.
They are living through far worse conditions than you attempt to make out the Falkland islands people are.
Time you got down of your hate box and started doing right by the impoverished people your country have created.

Mar 20th, 2022 - 06:32 pm - Link - Report abuse +4Are you familiar with the works of Shaggy it wasnt me
Invaded Patagonia (it wasnt me).......that was the European Argentines
Invaded the Falklands (it wasn't me) ...that was the Occupying Junta Argentines
Invaded the Falklands (it wasn't me)....we were tricked by the British
In one hilarious rant you managed to blame everyone but yourself...the UN made you think there was a sovereignty dispute, the US tricked you into the war, but it wasnt you anyway it was the Junta, and Britain wanted to travel half way round the world to lose 250 men.
If it wasn't so funny, it would be tragic.
Or how about this, Argentina is built of colonialism, the Latino population is 97% implanted, they continued the colonialism through Patagonia...and it irritates your sense of inferiority to The Anglos that the Falkalnds are, and will remain British.
The claim has nothing to do with Vernet, or Mestevier or an imagined usurpation. It has only to do with your racist hatred of the British, and a corner of the South Atlantic which has prosperity and no corruption. You hate the islanders for being more successful than you.
So, YOU if you could would at best evict them, and at worst murder them if you could...because you want to show the British or the Anglos that you are better.....when of course all the Malvinas myth does is show you as far worse.
Leave them in peace, the islands are not, have never been, and never will be Argentine...and if they were, Argentina would still be the same failed, corrupt, bankrupt Peronist cesspit that it is today....until the Argentine people want it to change.
Truly you guys amuse the shit out of me. A British person... having the nerve to judge others about conquest, robbing land or genocide is just a dumbfounding priceless moment. Please can any of you explain the difference to how your people deposed the natives of the East Coast in North America? Took Australia and New Zealand from their native populations? The United States robbed half its territory from the Mexicans? The English have not given the Irish peace in something insane like 500 years or more, and yet LOL ... LOL LOL ... you talk about the Argentinians moving aside a hand full of angry violent primitive people in Patagonia as if it were the friggin holocaust. What drugs in everyone on here!!? Maybe you're all just desperate to find things you can pin on Argentina, embarrased when you ponder on the contrasting difference to a country that actively has worked so industriously at keeping the world fighting or at war from three centuries already. Argentina does not arm anyone or encourage anyone to attack war or kill others nor much less their own people, like Britain and America do. Is that what you hate having to face? That you are the smelly Satans of the planet?

“The UN considers it a territorial sovereignty dispute”
Mar 20th, 2022 - 07:45 pm - Link - Report abuse +2If they do they’re in the wrong business, as no such legal claim is available to Argentina.
There is a general principle, in international law jurisprudence, that claims may be extinguished by the passage of time.
“The principle of extinctive prescription, the bar of claims by lapse of time, is recognized by international law. It has been applied by arbitration tribunals in a number of cases. ...
The Gentini case PCA 1903...claims against Venezuela on the part of the Italian government on behalf of an Italian citizen alleging PAYMENT OF A DEBT THAT HAD ACCRUED THIRTY YEARS EARLIER.
A stale claim does not become any less so because it happens to be an international one, and this tribunal, in dealing with it, cannot escape the obligation of a universally recognized principle simply because there happens to be no code of positive rules by which its action is to be governed.”
Accordingly, Gentini provides historical evidence that, … the PCA(Permanent Court of Arbitration in 1903, identify that the applicability of a prescription period in international law. …
Gentini’s … law can be seen as that contributes to the modern understanding of the doctrine as based on (i) national law (a sense that finality is proper), (ii) a GENERAL PROPOSITION THAT FINALITY IS NECESSARY, and (iii) the ethical-moral precept that it is somehow wrong or negligent for a claim not to be asserted within an unspecified, and perhaps undefinable period of time.

So there we have it in your own words Trimonde - “you talk about the Argentinians moving aside a hand full of angry violent primitive people in Patagonia as if it were the friggin holocaust”.

The first 6 years the islands are empty
Then of the 3-4 remaining years Vernet ran his business for 2 years, left the islands voluntarily leaving the British Matthew Brisbane in charge.
The United States stole half its territory off the Mexicans is another funny one...had a good laugh at that.
So yes Trimonde, your racism does see us as the Satans of the earth, which is why wou despise 3000 islanders so much, and how you are so impotent and unable to remove them from land you idiotically believe is yours.

“What sovereignty???” The one you don’t have a claim to.
Mar 20th, 2022 - 08:55 pm - Link - Report abuse +1'A State which has ceased to exercise any authority over a territory cannot, by purely verbal protestations, indefinitely maintain its title against another which for a sufficiently long time has effectively exercised the powers and fulfilled the duties of sovereignty in it.''(Theory and Reality in International Law, de Visscher, 1957, p201).
“Where a State fails to lodge effective protests, which in the present era ought, if necessary, to include instituting international judicial or arbitral proceedings, against attempts at wrongful usurpation into sovereign territory, that …failure to protest, where a protest is called for, must have a detrimental effect on the position of the party concerned and may afford evidence of non-existence of title.”

But you deny the Falkland Islanders the same right, even though your ancestors massacred for your homeland, and theirs asked 20 or so murderous raping mutineers to leave peacefully.

It is easy to believe the inheritance from Spain nonsense, its how most of Latin American countries exist, but Spain vacated the islands before independence.
It is easy to believe that location should be an influence, but islands all over the world have all sorts of affinities.
There is no real argument...so why do the likes of our friends pursue it...
1) They hate the British
2) They feel inferior to the British
3) They hate the islanders
4) They feel inferior to the islanders
5) They want something for nothing
6) It really sticks in their craw that there is a little corner of South America where corruption, lies, debt, abuse and violence is not the norm.
Most Malvinistas know full well the history between 1760-1833 they just choose to ignore it. The Argentine government are issuing this document to the media because the more Argentines see the obvious Falklands truth, the more they see how their government lies to them.

Mar 21st, 2022 - 11:32 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Very well put. …and when it is put to the Argies that they are land grabbing murderers their only defence is that so are the British.
Your continuing attempts at trying to create a conceptual wedge separating Patagonia, which was never any kind of political region but nothing more than a geographical / climatological area of Argentina and then Chile, only reveals your true mean and destructive jealous nature. Unless of course, any one of you can explain with accurate logic what makes the Patagonian region any less Argentinian than the Mesopotamian region, or the Pampas region. Or what makes Northern Ireland any less Irish than the whole of Ireland, for that matter. Perhaps the idea of a Northern Ireland was also originally an English invention charged with mean destructive scornful jealousy (unexplainable for us naturally human people of heart) which eventually, succeeded in implanting the language in discussions that had nothing to do with the English until the English made it about the English? The only thing that explains it thus to me, is that your wretchedly scornful machine driven voracious little contemptuous hearts have zero love and zero respect for the land of others, with a nonetheless unstoppable continuously erupting need to seek drawing plans on what belongs to others, and lie cheat and manipulate your willful ways into the peaceful lives of those peoples who have made the grave always regretted mistake of trusting you.

Mar 22nd, 2022 - 08:19 am - Link - Report abuse -1You got it right..., again...
You British were/are land grabbing murderers...
You British were once World Champions in Land Grab Murdering...
The Malvinas/Falklands issue is just a pathetically archaic souvenir of that fact...
- A pathetically archaic souvenir that sooner than later will have to adapt to the generational change from The Sun Never Sets on the British Empire to Set your Brutish Empire Where the Sun Doesn't Shine...

“ You British were once World Champions in Land Grab Murdering...”
Mar 22nd, 2022 - 08:43 am - Link - Report abuse +1If you casually have a look at the languages of South and Central America, you will clearly see that title goes to the Spanish… Infact it was the British who created a native reserve and told colonists in the Thirteen Colonies not to expand Westward into native land, when the USA became independent that’s when they went on their manifest destiny.
There weren’t any limits for the Spaniards in Mexico or South America were there Pizarro?
The British were indeed the World Champions at land grabbing, they built the largest Empire the world has ever seen.
Mar 22nd, 2022 - 10:22 am - Link - Report abuse +2At the time they were doing it, that was seen as the way forward, Spain was doing it, Portugal, Belgium, Germany, France.....China did it, Mongolia before, Turkey did it....the world was full of conquest and Empires....and you are quite right Britain was best at it.
I know that still smarts with you Latinos....
However, unlike every other Empire in history, the British Empire was dismantled peacefully, huge swathes of land were returned to the inhabitants of those countries, from Asia to Africa to South America and Canada. The Commonwealth that exists today is testament to the fantastic relationship the UK has with the countries that were once its colonies.
The 18 remaining British Overseas territories have the same offer, leave and be independent whenever you like, but if you are too small, or at risk from mendacious bullying neighbours feel free to stay.
The Falkland Islanders like their status, therefore they have it.
Since 1833 the British Empire has shrunk by 95% nearly all of it returned peacefully, However the Argentine Empire has expanded into Patagonia via murdering of dirty savages.

Mar 22nd, 2022 - 10:34 am - Link - Report abuse 0See you have added a comment but have as yet still to answer my questions.
You stuck. Need some help maybe.
Here is a copy of what I ask,
could you care to enlighten the evil world not only of your appalling history of ethnic cleansing but your more recent history of where your country went from being the sixth richest to the now poorest. Could you explain why that happened. Could you explain the tens of thousands of your own dissapeared. Could you explain why you had to borrow international money.
Could you explain why you cant pay it back.
Could you explain why half of your fellow countrymen women and children are now living in poverty.
Could you explain in what you claim as Argentinas democracy you keep electing such vile governments that are syphoning away the money your country dont have.
Could you also explain why your country invaded a peaceful neighbour called chile to grab more land.
Then can you please explain why it was necessary to invade the Falklands knowing it would cause loss of life and turning more of the world against you.
Find the answers to these questions and you may even learn the truth about yourself.
Geeeeeeeee....
Mar 22nd, 2022 - 12:28 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I can see above that an Anglo Brainwased Turnip mentions some 18 remaining British Overseas territories...? ! ?
Funny..., AFAIK..., there are only 14 remaining British Overseas territories............
Anyhow, one..., if not the only positive things about the current Ukraine crisis..., is the world's open hunting sesion on dirty monies...
As seven of the existing fourteen British Overseas Territories ( BOT's) tax havens are responsible for 29% of the $245 billion in tax the world loses to corporates...(according to https://taxjustice.net/..., which ranks the British Virgin Islands..., the Cayman Islands..., the Bermudas Islands.., the Turks & Caicos Islands..., Monserrat..., Anguilla and Gibraltar as the top enablers of corporate tax abuse on the planet...) I envision a dark & difficult future for them British Overseas Tax Haven Territories...

Mar 22nd, 2022 - 05:02 pm - Link - Report abuse +3‘you talk about the Argentinians moving aside a hand full of angry violent primitive people in Patagonia as if it were the friggin holocaust’.
The pre-meditated extermination of a people is called genocide, pure and simple, just like ‘the friggin holocaust’ was.
‘nothing more than a geographical / climatological area of Argentina’
Except it wasn’t part of Argentina, that’s the point, you stole it and murdered the owners so you could keep it.
And N. Ireland can change its status any time it wants to, just like the Falklands, it’s called self-determination, where the people decide the future of a territory, not the other way round.

Yeah, just think all those oligarch billions stashed away that now belong the British Gov, no problem for us getting the money from BOT’s.
Quite a windfall really, like owning Chelsea FC, gonna sell for a few Bob that is.

The Born-Again Trunks, however, is a lesser beast
Someone has still yet to explain to me, on what premise has MercoPress chosen its name, and on what political / civil foundation does MercoPress write about events in MERCOSUR countries Latin America and the American continent in General? Can someone explain to me why MercoPress is called MercoPress? Or will this continue to be one of those inconvenient questions the British avoid or make up bullshit about in order to distract from the real reasons they themselves suspect or know?
