We are Pirates

However, according to the polls that "ridiculous misconception" is shared by 72% of the voters.

According to who?...Clarin, Perfil, La Nacion or infobae? Canal 13, Radio Mitre etc, etc, and a scandalous bunch of the same sub-proprieties of the Clarin Group...nowhere in the world exist such concentration of the media in so few anti-country hands but Argentina, shameful history of the press in this country..
 
I think we really are coming close to crisis is this is what they are trying to distract us with....

Can you explain to me what you mean by this?
 
Gearing up for an election, potential minor economic crisis ... I know, lets role out some populist fun and rile up the public with regards to Malvinas/Falklands ...
 
In these troubled times, its important to overlook the crack epidemic, the fragility of an economy pegged to soya prices, the rising concerns about insecurity, soaring inflation and general economic woes.

Instead, everyone should focus on routine, annual military exercises (grave, muy grave) on a freezing collection of rocks that have never really mattered to anyone aside the 177 year old indigenous population, and the families of the kids who were sent there to die so that deeply unpopular leaders could score political points.
 
That "freezing collection of rocks" happens to be in the middle of some very promising oilfields. Whoever controls the islands controls the oil - it's that simple.

But ever since I remember, every time the military rulers got in trouble some kind of threat to our "soberania" was trumpeted in the government-controlled media. In more innocent times, the threat was always A RUSSIAN SUBMARINE SIGHTED OFF THE PATAGONIA COAST....!

Now, for those bemoaning Argentina's lack of progress, let us remember that it was only after the 1982 Malvinas war that we were able to shake-off the generals. The kids who died there freed the country from miiltary rule.
 
So true Sara and the Argentine veterans of that war are finally being treated with more respect by their government.
Not a murmur of this story have I seen on BBC news.

Mini, you probably won't be able to understand the history of the press in this country without knowing the history of the country itself and I would not even will try to summarize this for you now but is suffice to say that the press in Argentina since her foundations and with very few exceptions has been always ruled, manipulated and owned by the elite oligarchy ruling this country and with that serving foreign powers and they own personal and individual interest, relegating the country's own to a distant second or third place, it was done in the past and is continuing nowadays as always has been, trying to break that vicious circle the reply from these groups is ferociously opposed to any changes to challenge the manipulation of their public opinion dominance as you know lately this monopoly has been contested by the present government which generated a multimedia war against them and in particular against the figures of the actual president of this country CFK and former president N. Kirchner, these powerful multimedia groups want them out ASAP so everything will returns to maintain their deceptive domain.

Here everything is postponed or delayed until a government change is archived, then they can rule happily again, be this by installing a dictatorship by a coup d'état or by inserting a figurehead (testaferro) to look after their economic and political interest by manipulating the mind of the populace they can archive this..simple and effective.

Got it almost right this time, Lucas, with just one minor error:

"The elite oligarchy" currently ruling the country is named Kirchner. They don't serve foreign powers but concentrate instead on serving their "own personal and individual interest, relegating the country's own to a distant second or third place".

OK, I'm going to guess that this thread is a squirming worm of a bait to entice the new account of Cabrera into the open. :)
