How British oil prospecting evolves in Argentine waters in the midst of a nation in crisis

By Sir Charlattam

For a nation to be aware of what its expectations of progress may be, in addition to the structural potential for it, it must have a collective memory of its origins (where they come from) and what it has cost its ancestors to set themselves up as such. The nation's consciousness implies a cluster of past experiences that make its history and that forge the character of a people that will give it identity in the midst of a community of nations. Nothing of another planet but, in the case of Argentina, we must reconsider this reflection.

Undoubtedly there is a serious problem in the collective aspect of this South American country and when I refer to it, I am talking about the common work of its inhabitants to face high goals of their nation. Now, you might ask: Is the Argentine people split from the nation to which they belong? For the answer seems to be obvious and anyone who looks from the outside says unequivocally that Argentines look more like tenants of a horizontal property than owners of a house.

Beyond their own tragedies - which are neither worse nor less than other peoples - they have always been marked by candor or rather, the comfort of those who do not want to compromise. With this peculiar way of accusing others of their shortcomings, in all periods they have shown a terrifying childlikeness to solve the problems they had created, provoking scenes as comical as chameleon. Like the recurrent patient of a psychologist, they go up and down with their moods, ignoring everything, but wanting everything at once.

Since the end of the 1982 war, the Argentines have fallen into a state of drowsiness and guilt insufflated to a large extent by the upstart political class that took power in 1983 but that the British have taken advantage of very well. Undoubtedly that guilty nature is part of the Argentinian idiosyncrasy but, there is no doubt that London through its acolytes in Buenos Aires has played a central role in maintaining that guilty sleep over the collective. Equally, the British should not be given as much credit as such, but there is much more responsibility in the Argentine traitor sectors that for money, ideology or simple aversion to their own nation have served such purposes.

Precisely since the inauguration of Raul Ricardo Alfonsin as president of Argentina, the process of the nation's deconstruction came gradually in order to get the role he knew to have by the middle of the second half of the twentieth century, which threatened to displace the state "cap" of Brazil, sponsored by Washington and London in order to serve as a fence to the possible expansion of Argentine industrial policy. The great brains of Argentine geopolitics knew this but their political class ignored them in their warnings.

That first civil government after years of military administrations believed to be like the "crusaders" of the truth and the champions of a democracy that -it is worth making it clear- was allowed by Washington, place from where a decade before, allowed and supported the establishment of military juntas. In this sense, the romantic and even tearful looks of Argentine political life clash head-on with the harsh reality of what objectively is "politics" and much more when we refer to geopolitics.

Did the arrival of Alfonsin to power, reduce the British aspirations on Argentina's strategic natural riches? Not ´at all. Moreover, without a doubt it can be said without fear of mistakes that the government and its leftist ideological organization, such as the "Coordinadora", gave a more than magnificent hand to the Foreign Office's plans to demoralize the cadres of the Forces. Armed and it´s later scrapping. It is certain that Alfonsin himself did not want that but without a doubt I help a lot to those purposes.

London greatly cared that the Armed Forces did not reorganize themselves, much less that the political class continued to adhere to the idea of ​​regaining sovereignty over the South Atlantic islands. It was necessary to continue to keep the Argentine population angry with its military and, in turn, remove from their minds the idea of ​​ sovereignty over the Falkland (Malvinas) Islands maliciously associating "Military Juntas and the 1982 war". In this sense, the role of the British embassy in Buenos Aires was and continues to be fundamental in order to promote its disinformation and propaganda operations that keep the Argentines at odds. And there is much at stake to be tolerated talking about sovereignty. The oil and gas resources in the South Atlantic are as coarse as billionaires in potential profits.

Here also participates the so-called "national press" or media that have the purpose of "shaping opinion" at the pleasure of the interests no longer of the current government but of the markets that are the ones who sustain these governments. It is these same markets that move alongside those who undertake high-level activities.

Far from complying with these intimations, the British have deepened their activities while increasing their military and intelligence presence in the region, now supported by the Argentine government aligned with the geopolitics of Washington and Tel Aviv. According to British estimates, there are about 517 million barrels of oil in that area to extract what represents a source of billionaire energy wealth and that would give the Argentine national state a surplus for almost a century.

But the problem lies in what we said at the beginning of this article and that the British have managed to manipulate and feed over these decades. Insuflate guilt and doubts in the collective not so much in the inhabitants of the interior of the country but rather, in the inhabitants of “Rio de la Plata” where the decisions are made. It was as well as by means of this toxic combination of partisanship and companies of means that managed to maintain the disinterestedness by the subjects of the national geopolitics. They have kept them quiet by making them feel guilty and to be perpetuated in internal fights over valences that their low-ranking rulers should resolve.

They have tried through sectors within the same Argentine society, to create discontent, rejection and disdain for some islands and the maritime space that surround them claiming that they have no value whatsoever. Beyond the existence of laws such as the national law 26,659 of Exploration and Exploitation of Hydrocarbons that detail the details of these circumstances and there are a few politicians with a national conscience who have invoked it, the material resources to enforce what is in the paper is minimum and before this, it is clear that if the Argentines do not begin to change their way of seeing their country as a collective and their own, they will continue to see their enemy pass through their noses filling their pockets with their wealth.
