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.
