Mr. Rato’s “advises are not necessary” (Argentina tells IMF to Buzz Off)

[Say_What]

<clips>

Argentine president Nestor Kirchner publicly stated Wednesday that International Monetary Fund Managing Director Rodrigo de Rato “advises are not necessary”.

Mr. Kirchner was replying to Mr. Rato’s Tuesday remarks requesting guarantees for foreign and domestic investments in Argentina, following the Argentine government’s promotion of a campaign to boycott Shell products.

“Counselling from Mr. Rato is not necessary. We have been very respectful of things they did to us in the past. They talk about forms of making things and caution; they are so concerned now about forms, but they seem to forget about the past. Let’s hope they really help us this time”, said President Kirchner.

Further on the said Argentina is a country “that knows how to make things work. This kind of patronage we do not wish. We are interested in attracting investments, but good, sound investments”.

During a ceremony in government house, Casa Rosada, president Kirchner underlined that “Argentina is a sovereign and independent country”, which means “we are very jealous of the liberty to manage our economic policies”.

1. Excellent

and with Rato's buddy Werewolfowitz in the World Bank, more and more countries are going to tell them that their "counselling is not necessary". The new assertiveness of the South American countries is more than welcome in an otherwise gloomy world situation.

3. The chances of "I use spit in my hair" Wolfowitz are slim

I listened to a report on Free Speech Radio yesterday where several voting country's representatives said they will not support his appointment.

This will be the first time member nations vetoed a U.S. appoinment as president of the World Bank.

6. I hopet hey reject him

but it would be very unusual. The appointment, without consulting the europeans, was a big screw you, so it's time for Europe to give a screw you in return.

2. Argentina should tell the IMF to piss off

Thanks to the IMF, Argentina had to impose economic austerity on the citizens. In 2001, the government in Argentina collapsed because of protests against the IMF plan.



The International Monetary Fund-mandated $7 billion cut in the 2002 budget, almost 20 percent, plus government interference on bank withdrawals pushed workers and the unemployed over the brink. Many were left without the means to buy food and supermarkets became the battleground of the class struggle.

For its part, the International Monetary Fund arrogantly refused to take any responsibility for the Argentine crisis, according to Thomas Dawson, director of Foreign Relations for the IMF. Leading IMF official Anne Krueger officially indicated no change in the IMF position that the Argentine government slash its 2002 budget and achieve political consensus. As Argentines die on the streets, Krueger cynically lectured reporters that an IMF bailout of $10 billion next year would not have helped Argentina.

4. They already have.

The example of open and successful defiance of these unelected
blowhards has been very salutary.

5. IMF / WORLD BANK DESTROYING COUNTIES

excerpt:

The Argentina Plan

Inside documents from Argentina show the secret Argentine plan. This is signed by Jim Wolfensen, the president of the World Bank. Argentina has had six presidents in five weeks because their economy is completely destroyed. This happened because they started out in the end of the 80s with orders from the IMF and World Bank to sell-off all their assets, public assets, like their water system. Then they taxed the people. They created big government and big government handed it off to the private IMF/World Bank. They pay off the politicians billions in Swiss bank accounts.

The Enron Connection

The water system of Buenos Aires was sold off for a song to a company called Enron. A pipeline was sold off, that runs between Argentina and Chile, was sold off to a company called Enron. Then the globalists blow out Enron after transferring the assets to another dummy corporation. .

They come in, pay off politicians to transfer the water systems, the railways, the telephone companies, the nationalized oil companies, gas stations - the politicians then hand it over to the IMF for nothing. The Globalists pay them off individually, billions a piece in Swiss bank accounts. The plan is total slavery for the entire population. Enron is a dummy corporation for money laundering, drug money, etc.

7. The IMF is scared other countries being strangled by the IMF

will follow Argentina's lead.

This was an interesting situation to watch. All along the way Argentina followed its financial plan with the IMF dogging her heels snapping out statements about how bad a plan it was.
