IMF THUGS FACE THE MUSIC

elmat,

My understanding of the Argentina situation is that the IMF and the World Bank schemed to an extreme degree to bankrupt the nation by extracting onerous terms for the moneys they provided. In essence, the IMF and WB were running an extortion racket.

The Argentine people know exactly what sort of sleazy game the bankers were playing and they rightly want to refuse to pay the criminals in this racket.

The money men went too far in Argentina. Generally, the successful parasites in biological systems establish symbiotic relationships with their victims so that the parasites can maintain their own existence. Every so often, a parasite, like a cancer, gets too greedy and destroys the host organism.

This is what the bankers did to Argentina. And now they want to rob the corpse. It is a pretty pathetic world we live in where elitist and fascistic greedheads can orchestrate bands of rapacious bankers to destroy countries like Argentina, and the militarist end of the same criminal cabal can use their might to destroy a sovereign Middle Eastern nation like Iraq.

They got us comin' and goin'.

Re: Kirchner Argentinean president has a rate of approval of 90%!! This is an anomaly

I'll say. Who bribed the other 10% in Argentina?

There once was a TV show in the U.S. called the Twilight Zone***. It had some pretty racy scripts for its time. These days, I'm wondering who in the world the Pentagon has writing its Twilight Zone scripts. This is just pathetic:

***Rod Serling, the creator and writer of this series was brilliant. His work is much in the same vein as the work of Franz Kafka, Nathaniel West, Joseph Heller and Samuel Beckett.

Hello Elmat, <<Kirchner Argentinean president has a rate of approval of 90%!! This is an anomaly>>

... I believe that if I were an ignorant or smart Argentine debtor, I would be in favor of stiffing the creditors.

The resulting credit crunch was going to be "just is" anyway, so why pay? And when and if a bunch of other countries similarly default, my country will be rehabilitated by default by and by.
