EN DEBATE
"TWO STEPS ... TO THE ABYSS"
The road that Argentina is taking in its alliances can compromise its security and that of the entire Southern Hemisphere. A New policy of carnal relations?
By Sir Charlattam & Dany Smith
After the inauguration of the new
legislative year in charge of the Argentine president Mauricio Macri and his
speech before the legislative body of both houses of Congress, a political year
began that will bring several novelties of which the president himself
refrained from mentioning, clearly conditioned by strong external and internal
pressure. It can be said that these developments are linked to the unexplained
event of the submarine "ARA San Juan" that can lead to disastrous
implications.
Although Macri dedicated a passage to the
44 crew members of the unexplained submarine, he did not contemplate an action
plan or any policy to determine what had really happened; only a symbolic
mention, as a way to shape the relatives who remain unconscionable in the face
of so many incongruities and silences that have revealed that a part of their
government tries to prevent the submarine from being found.
What can be behind all this? Dany asked me
when we met at a café in Belfast, Ireland to check what would be the article of
the month for geopolitical affairs of Great Britain in the South Atlantic. The
first thing that occurred to me to say was, "everything that ordinary
Argentines may never know". When the incident took place there was a lot
of activity in the area and not only were the Navy of its Graceful Majesty
operating with its Chilean allies (incidentally carrying out anti-submarine
operations), there were also Americans, Chinese and intelligence ships with
flags of others countries That was like a "field day".
Remember that the British had hired an
Israeli company to install in the Falklands Islands, its famous and ineffective
anti-missile system "Iron Dome" created by Tel Aviv to counteract the
threat of the Palestinian homemade "missiles" Kassam, which Despite
their rudimentary technology, they are not so easy to intercept. But the
vendors of these systems are as good businessmen as suppliers of military
technology. Maybe they are better businessmen than the second.
Think that the idea of this system so sold by propaganda is to stop missiles and
the Palestinian rockets are just that, rockets with very good shapes and design
but nothing more. But taking advantage of the stage fright that the rich
Israeli settlers from areas bordering the Gaza Strip such as Sderot, it was
usufruct by the private security industry entrepreneurs who with the complicity
of the military leaders and the corrupt right-wing politicians who control
Israel, they make this a round business. Just calculate the following: If a
homemade rocket costs "Hamas" 100 dollars the finished unit and you
notice that each projectile interceptor of this reformed "Patriot"
costs the Israeli state 50,000 dollars a unit, it is a clean gain of 1000
percent. Something not close in the logical equation of cost and risks to face,
but of guaranteed profits for private manufacturers in did.
In the case of Great Britain and using the
silly excuses that Argentina acquired mid-last year an endowment of a dozen old
French planes "Super Etendard", London reached an agreement with the
Israeli company "Rafael Advanced Defense Systems" which works with
the firm "Mprest" for the assembly of its "Iron Dome"
batteries on the islands as part of an NSCR modernization policy of its
obsolete anti-aircraft systems. We know that Argentines not only do not have
strategic missiles as they knew they had in the past (Condor II), but they do
not even have rockets like the Palestinians, much less the will to fight them.
Despite long discussions about military spending at the National Security
Council (NSC), the Cabinet authorized the signing of this millionaire contract
with the satisfaction of Chief of Staff Sir Nick Carter and Secretary of
Defense Gavin Williamson.
But the business was not absent from
clashes between private defense companies. According to sources within the
Ministry and the secretary of Fallon, American firms such as "General
Dynamics Land Systems" their offers were placed under the pile of paper to
benefit Israeli companies, probably because of the incentives they advanced.

The contract signed between London and the Israeli
company is around 79 million British Pounds, demonstrating in addition to
excessive spending, an unusual interest in "defending the islands."
The irony of the case is that while the Israelis install this system for the
British, Tel Aviv trains and is advising Argentine military and police forces
with their advisors from the IDF and the Shin Bet in the occupied territories.
We know that the installed system did not
respond to any Argentine threat. You can talk to any admiral or retired general
to give you his opinion about it and I assure you that none of them endorses
the Foreign Office's argument of a real threat from the continent. The reports
of the Ministry of Defense of Fallon are pure garbage. It is a mountain of
imbecilities, which are not believed even by kindergarten children; Maybe not`s,
ours but if the Argentines, do not you think?
Maybe the Argentines if they were aware and
with their poor resources tried to rummage beyond what they could and died in
the attempt.
The mission of the "ARA San Juan"
ran into an inconvenience and that was "saw what should not see" Do
you think it is linked to the anti-missile system that would be mounted on the
islands? Dany asked me, to which I replied in a clear voice "in part yes."
At that time the Israeli specialists were already working on the islands and
having confirmed this was something diplomatically embarrassing, you know,
calls to the ambassador in Buenos Aires for explanations etcetcetc.
We know that the islands have a military
base but behind that, there is one of the most important electronic
intelligence and satellite tracking facilities in the hemisphere; if there is a
threat to regional peace, it comes from the islands and not from the continent,
although the Chinese in the province of Neuquén have a strategic role in all
this.
Among the mills in Mount Pleasant is a high
power antenna that, in addition to receiving communications from the NATO`s
geostationary satellites that sweep the region, emit infrasound waves that
produce alterations in living organisms, among them the Argentine unsuspecting
and also in the Kelpers.
To the worse taste of the gentlemen in the
Ministry of Defense and their lobbyists in the House of Commons, the arrival of
the Russians in the waters of the South Atlantic with the ship
"Yantar" can complicate everything.
It seems that to cover the mouths (very few
indeed) of the most annoying claimants of the military institution of the
Argentine Navy, the government of Buenos Aires accepted a proposal from Tel
Aviv and commissioned a naval attaché to none other than Israel for allegedly,
prepare a group of officers in naval intelligence doctrine and technical
knowledge of naval engines to deliver soon.
This coincides with the continued
arrival in Israel of American contingents that is overheating the spirits of
the Arabs and the Islamic world. But this smells like shit and some sources in
Buenos Aires have confirmed that this is something more important and this
would involve linking the country to the global geostrategy of Tel Aviv and
Patagonia is its primary objective. For others this would only be to silence
the search queries of the submarine. What
do you think?
