Argentina president claims the US is possibly plotting to assassinate her

[Cali_Democrat]

Argentinian opposition politicians have accused the country’s president, Cristina Fernández de Kirchner, of being “completely out of touch with reality” after she gave a rambling televised address in which she claimed the US may be behind a plot to overthrow her government and possibly even assassinate her.

“If something should happen to me, don’t look to the Middle East, look to the North,” Fernández said during the address on Tuesday night, in which she alluded to an alleged plot against her by local bankers and businessmen “with foreign help”.

Fernández had previously claimed to have received death threats from Islamic State (Isis) because of her friendship with Pope Francis. In last night’s speech, however, she seemed to suggest the threats against her, received in three emails to Argentinian security officials, had come from the US.

Her claim comes in the wake of a rapid deterioration of Argentina’s already rocky relationship with the US after the country went into default in August.

1. That's just silly. The US would never interfere with our neighbor nations in the south.

Right?

[Cleita]

2. Of course not. Just ask the Chileans, Nicaraguans and El Salvadorans. eom

[malaise]

8. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

hahahahahha -
Anything to control their Central Bank - force them to devalue, deregulate and then divest.

3. Speaks volumes that it was characterized as "a rambling televised address". Is there something in..

the water?

[MFrohike]

4. Um, what?

I just don't see this one. The executive isn't the one screwing her, it's the judiciary. Federal judges seem to have found a secret clause in Article 2 that conveniently mentions their absolute and untrammeled right to conduct foreign policy.

5. an alleged plot against her by local bankers and businessmen “with foreign help”.

Yes, the FreeMasons, Trilateral Commision and the Bilderburgers in conjunction with the Podpeople and BigFoot are out to get her...

6. CFK could have a valid point there. One of Obama's foreign policy advisers is Henry Kissinger. Back

in the 70s, Kissinger greenlighted Argentina's bloody Dirty War. I wouldn't put it past Kissinger to be advising covert meddling in Argentina.

The Bombing of La Moneda on 11 September 1973

After a review of recordings of telephone conversations between Nixon and Henry Kissinger, Robert Dallek concluded that both of them used the CIA to actively destabilize the Allende government. In one particular conversation about the news of Allende's overthrow, Kissinger complains about the lack of recognition of the American role in the overthrow of a "communist" government, upon which Nixon remarked "Well, we didn't - as you know - our hand doesn't show on this one."

Peter Winn has argued that the role of the CIA was crucial to the consolidation of power that followed the coup; the CIA helped fabricate a conspiracy against the Allende government, which Pinochet was then portrayed as preventing. He states that the coup itself was possible only through a three-year covert operation mounted by the United States. He also points out that the US imposed an "invisible blockade" that was designed to disrupt the economy under Allende, and contributed to the destabilization of the regime.

Author Peter Kornbluh argues in his book The Pinochet File that the US was extensively involved and actively "fomented" the 1973 coup. Authors Tim Weiner, in his book, Legacy of Ashes, and Christopher Hitchens, in his book, The Trial of Henry Kissinger similarly argue the case that US covert actions actively destabilized Allende’s government and set the stage for the 1973 coup.

11. This is why Hillary will NEVER get my vote let alone

support and I'm very active. Up until the moment of knowing she was so cozy with Kissinger, I could have done a hold my nose vote.

15. Launch all-out blitz on jihadists, says Kissinger

HENRY KISSINGER, the former US secretary of state, has urged President Barack Obama to “launch an all-out attack” on the terrorist group Isis in Syria and Iraq, warning that Americans have become “bystanders” in the Middle East.

In an exclusive interview with The Sunday Times, Kissinger said airstrikes should be of “limited duration as a punitive measure” and “not make any distinction between Syria and Iraq”. He said: “There can’t be any debate any more about fighting them (Isis).”

Kissinger, an influential force in US foreign policy for more than four decades, accused Obama of failing to appreciate that other countries yearned for American guidance in the Middle East and other crisis areas.

“We don’t have the power to impose our preference, but without us, and without some leadership from us, the new order cannot be created,” he said...

7. Lots of political points to be gained attacking the big bad US and the "vulture funds".

But better that she uses this kind of thing to distract her people from her mismanagement of the economy than that she invades a small island.

9. Too much indulging?!1 n/t

The Argentina president has definitely discovered how to say nothing with a handful of words.
