AN MI6 OFFICE IN BUENOS
AIRES
Why has London secured
control of the South Atlantic and access to Antarctica without lifting a
finger?
By Sir Charlattam
I didn't believe it
until one of my contacts confirmed it. We already knew that Argentina would be
changing the orientation of its state policy from the previous clientelism in
public office to a supposedly minimal state, or something similar. But I did not
know that the SIS, or more vulgarly, MI6, would be involved in this reform.
Certainly, Javier
Milei's government has gone too far in some of its plans, and intelligence is
one of them. As an old Scottish colleague would say ‘if something must stink,
let it stink horrible’. It seems that Milei and his advisers are paying close
attention to the envoys of David Lammy's secretary Foreign Office, so much so
that according to my sources, the organisation will mirror the building in
Vauxhall Cross, London.
It seems that in Buenos
Aires the sewage will continue to flow the same shit only with pipes from the
British system.
Apparently the
Argentinians must have their noses asleep as the whole thing stinks to high
heaven. With the South Atlantic occupied and in transit to becoming a much
stricter exclusion zone for Argentine shipping, they seem to be asleep in
Buenos Aires. But it is true that this is being handled very much behind closed
doors between departments and only with those who are really committed to the
issues. Even my source has told me that there are many things that Milei
himself and his sister (the boss) do not know.
Among some of the
curiosities of this new layout is the way staff are coded. The new Intelligence
Secretariat will now have new names for the identification of its personnel,
especially the hierarchical ones. From now on, the position of secretary will
be called ‘Mr C’ (Caputo?), which is very unimaginative if Argentine
politicians have any imagination left. I think if Ian Fleming were to rise from
his grave at Sevenhampton, he would send one of his acid notes to Starmer
himself to stop ridiculing his novels.
Also, the new
organisation will have an area of security and public affairs as in MI6 and
which the Argentine version will call ‘counter-intelligence’ which would not
fulfil the function that the word represents within this field.
It is true that previously
the so-called SIDE or AFI was a real empty box with no content or strategic
purpose and through which billions of money was siphoned off for anything but
the functions it was meant to perform. The old story of abuse of power and
corruption that is not alien to our British tradition. That is not to say that
the British intelligence structure is any better or does not engage in the
dirty underworld affairs of our representatives. It has much more seniority and
even if that does not mean efficiency and playing by clean rules, it must be
respected.
But it is not only our
harvest that is being harvested in this new administration of Argentine
intelligence. The Yankees come first and foremost, as they have preference over
the rest. Here, in a way, we are in a tie with the Argentines. In reality the Yankees
were always here and regardless of the 18 years of ‘K’ progressivism, both the
CIA and their military intelligence colleagues had their offices in full view
of everyone and in each of the buildings of each of their forces. There is an
explanation for this from 1982 onwards, although it is too long to comment on
it now.
But in the new era in
which we live, spies no longer need to walk or travel to faraway places to
infiltrate or recruit potential agents. Today, computer technology has
synthesised everything and we have even seen how it is possible to penetrate
more protected systems, archives and public offices or launch cyber-attacks
against other nations without moving the arse from an armchair. The Argentines
were also in their infancy in this area, although by 2015, according to sources
in the embassy at the time, they had been equipped with some Israeli cybernetic
technology to intercept communications and, among the reconfigurations, a
special area for these issues was added.
An information technology
directorate was also set up, which the Argentines call cybersecurity.
As far as Argentine
military intelligence is concerned, I understand that it does not exist and the
best proof of this is the free movement of the Royal Navy in conjunction with
American task forces has been increasing in the South Atlantic escorting
transport ships with new shipments of equipment and personnel for the
construction of a new military installation adjacent to Port Stanley.
Cybersecurity has for
some time now been handled by Israeli advisors and quite possibly the
specialists of the so-called Unit 8200 so there will be a cohabitation of
acquaintances which does not mean friends since unlike the Americans of the
CIA, the Israelis have not yet managed to fool London with some of their
tricks. We are still resenting the Islamophobic agitation in Britain which was
very cleverly instigated by notable pro-Israeli sectors very close to MPs using
neo-Nazi scum who are old MI5 assets.
Well gentlemen, it
seems that Milei's government has become another subject of the Crown which
means that the Argentinians will have to kiss the arses of Starmer and our
gracious King Charles III.
