don’t fool yourself — Genocide is A-Okay, man, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, all points north and south, east and west . . .
The title of Jorge Borges’s second poetry collection, Moon Across the Way (1925), captures how Buenos Aires was expanding westward, away from the River Plate estuary. If you walked to the edge of the built-up area you would, eventually, come to a street that looked over the pampas. In his next collection, San Martín Copybook (1929), his beautiful and oft-quoted poem “The Mythical Foundation of Buenos Aires” ends:
A cigar store perfumed the desert like a rose.
The afternoon had established its yesterdays,
and men took on together an illusory past.
Only one thing was missing – the street had no other side.
Hard to believe Buenos Aires had any beginning;
it feels as eternal as air and water.
Like many city dwellers, Borges laments the passing of what once was:
“Our image of the city is always slightly out of date. Cafes have degenerated into bar-rooms; old arched entranceways with their grilled inner gates, once giving us a glimpse of patios and of overhanging grapevines, are now dingy corridors… that lead abruptly to an elevator.”
DOES IT FUCKING MATTER now that this fucking creep Milei is in?
Renowned Argentine sociologist and anti-imperialist critic Atilio Boron joins The Grayzone to discuss the victory of former tantric sex coach and emotionally unhinged liberatarian economic fundamentalist Javier Milei as the country’s president.
Boron explains why the desperate popular sectors of Argentina fell for Milei’s shtick, and forecasts a violent rebellion of the president-elect’s economic austerity plans come to pass.
So we get more perversions, and the perverted shit faces, here and there and in Argentina, get what they scoop from the bottom of the offal barrel:
Dirty War, infamous campaign waged from 1976 to 1983 by Argentina’s military dictatorship against suspected left-wing political opponents. It is estimated that between 10,000 and 30,000 citizens were killed; many of them were “disappeared”—seized by the authorities and never heard from again.
Nazis?
After Germany was defeated in World War II, and the magnitude of Nazi war atrocities became apparent to the world, many in the party’s elite—especially those who masterminded the Holocaust death camps—knew they needed to disappear. With help from friendly governments, and even the Catholic Church, thousands of SS members changed their identities, quietly escaped to South America and slid into new lives. Some evaded capture; others were tracked down and brought to justice.
Due to the hundreds of thousands of German immigrants who lived in the country, Argentina maintained close ties with Germany and remained neutral for much of World War II. In the years after the end of the war, Argentine President Juan Perón secretly ordered diplomats and intelligence officers to establish escape routes, so-called “ratlines,” through ports in Spain and Italy to smuggle thousands of former SS officers and Nazi party members out of Europe.
Rat fucking Lines. Oh, those Spanairds.
Argentina was originally settled by many different tribes of people. The first major empire arrived when Inca Empire invaded in 1480. Some of present day Argentina became part of the Incan Empire and some resisted. In 1516, the Spanish arrived in the person of explorer and navigator Juan Diaz de Solias.
In 2015, with the death of Uruguayan writer Eduardo Galeano, Latin America lost one of its finest literary voices and one of the staunchest critics of the exploitations of its people and resources for over five hundred years. During a life spent largely in exile, fleeing military regimes in both Uruguay and Argentina, Galeano wrote books that earned his reputation as an outstanding author of the “Boom” generation and a prominent opponent of capitalist and colonial policies. His most famous work, Open Veins of Latin America (1971), traces the story of colonization from the arrival of Europeans in the “New World” to the brink of the Uruguayan military coup whose leaders banned the book in 1973.

Argentina identifies 131st baby kidnapped during dictatorship
A right-wing dictatorship that ruled Argentina from 1976 to 1983 systematically stole children from dissident parents.
Former TV pundit Javier Milei – nicknamed “the crazy” or “the madman” by his followers – has stunned political experts by becoming the new president of Argentina.
The 53-year-old right-wing populist – also known as a fan of Al Capone – won 56% of the vote to complete a journey which started in 2020 when he entered politics and promised to “blow up” the system.
Fuck Argentina, and bye bye. It’s always been a fucked up colonial nation. Fucked up everything, since the dirty stain of Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and the lot of them came in are stole, raped, pillaged.
So now these fucking journalists are calling EVERYONE in Argentina ‘Unstable?”
Juan Gonzalez, a journalist and author of a biography on the new leader, admitted: “He is an unstable leader for an unstable country.”
Prostitutes and pimps and just fucking Break Back Mountain shits.
Yeah, they are ALL criminals, and we talk about them as they are real Homo Sapiens. They are mutants, from the top, Bezos, through to the Fucker-bergs and the Soros Clan, all the way through the Jewish Line of Billionaires, through to the Non-Jewish Line of Motherfucking Rich and their anal cleft lickers.
Fucking Britannia!
One good fucking thing from that shit hole:
Fucking creeps. Che museum? Right!!!!
Little fucking cabana?
His fucking motorcycle? That’s it, cry for me fucking Argentina?
Instead, we have this human stain now running the shit show that is Argentina!
I expect this mural to be covered up soon: Buenos Aires.
Instead, just more STD’s spreading his evil disease:
Javier Milei:
Look at those fucking retarded fucking people. Look at their vacant eyes. Their fucking chubby fucking cheeks. Goddamn, freaks one and all.
Just another fucking Spanish Colony, Argentina. Macho.
The jury did not believe Monzon’s story that it was all an accident. The country he had once made so proud was not supportive. In 1989, Monzon was sentenced to 11 years in prison. He never did get to serve out his full term, being killed in an automobile accident in 1995, while out on furlough for the weekend.

Back to Gaza!
These dirty little fucking rat nations: Cyprus.
Since independence, the British bases have been used not only to surveil other parts of the region, but to supply weaponry, military assets, fuel and personnel to almost every major conflict without giving notice to Cypriot officials. It’s reported the US were using the bases to deploy troops into Iraq and later Syria which signifies a direct violation of the Treaty of Guarantee.
The RAF also used Akrotiri for surveillance and aerial refuelling missions in the bombing campaign against Libya in 2011. During Saudi Arabia’s brutal bombardment of Yemen, BAE Systems cargo flights refuelled at the base every week while carrying essential spare parts for the Saudi air force.
Most recently, Declassified UK and Haaretz reported that America is moving weapons into Israel via the British bases in Akrotiri, with 50% of US flights leaving the area said to be carrying arms. This would again implicate Britain in offering the territory to the Americans without consulting the Republic of Cyprus, and thwart the notion of true postcolonial independence. (Source)
You feel good about Gaza and Palestina from the River to the Sea, Palestine will be free?

Leaked top secret documents reveal spying assets on British Cyprus are integrated with “military planning and operations”—and intelligence is likely being passed to Israel to help it bomb Gaza, further implicating Britain in war crimes.
- American spies class their bases on British Cyprus as “important assets”
- US has four spy sites on Cyprus, which are believed to form part of its “far-reaching” intelligence relationship with Israel
- Israel “enjoys the benefits of expanded geographic access” to US spy sites, top secret document notes
- GCHQ, NSA and CIA all refuse to comment to Declassified
The Zionist movement from its inception has used deception, violence, ethnic cleansing and discrimination to solidify its apartheid state. The genocide in Gaza is another chapter in this 100-year war.
Alas, this is the reality of the fucking mentality of AmeriKKKans. From my fucking Oregon once-a-week rag:
Letter to the Fucking Editor in the Rag where I publish!
“I felt compelled to respond to a letter titled “Gaza: cease-fire now!” dated Friday, Nov. 3. The author surely does not understand the history of the Holy Land, its occupants and troubles. To do so, one must educate themselves going back thousands of years — not just to 1948, the year of the United Nations mandated the formation of Israel after the Nazi holocaust (and plight of the Jewish people throughout time).
I ask you, who were the Jebusites? Have you heard of Exodus? When did Rome destroy Jerusalem and its Jewish temple? What year did the Muslims destroy and capture the city? The Christian crusaders? The Ottoman Turks?
On Oct. 7, Hamas terrorists attacked Israel, killing at least 1,200 Jewish children, women and men, hacking their heads off, burning them alive, etc. Also, several hundred women and children and some men were kidnapped. Did anyone hear the intercepted phone call of the young Palestinian man bragging to his parents that he killed 12 Jews, for which his parents then praised him?
Yet, the author of the strange letter referenced above believes Israel should not respond militarily because “the number of Jews killed yearly by Hamas rockets is less than those killed by snake bites.” Wow!
Let’s not forget who the main culprit is — Iran, who has vowed repeatedly to wipe Israel off the map. It is Iran who sponsors and funds Hamas, Hezbollah, etc.
The Obama, and now the Biden administration has practically begged the mullahs to negotiate in good faith, while at the same time continuing to build their nuclear program, attack, maim and kill U.S. troops, and now attack Israel, funded by the billions handed over to them from Obama/Biden negotiations. Remember Obama’s red line warning to Assad? He bombed and gassed thousands of innocent women and children in his own country.
Criminally insane terrorists and dictators understand only one thing, overwhelming military force. A few well-placed cruise missiles into Assad’s residences would have worked. No? A full-scale aerial attack on all his residences and military sites would have. Same for Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah.
No need to destroy water, sewage, or electrical plants. No nation building or trillions in U.S. dollars wasted. And make it clear to the people of Iran and Palestine who want to want peace and freedom — the United States of America loves and supports you!
Finally, it is time for a state of Palestine to be created right on the border of Syria, Lebanon and Jordan. Period.”

Look at this fucking newspaper, this fucking retarded fuck, this fuck face calling for bombing Assad? Fucking fairy tale mother fucking Christian Zionist stupid fucks, all of them, that Bible? That bullshit Bible? Right.
Sick country, man.

The Zionist movement from its inception has used deception, violence, ethnic cleansing and discrimination to solidify its apartheid state. The genocide in Gaza is another chapter in this 100-year war.
The conflict between the Palestinians and Israel, which has reached a terrifying crescendo with the savage obliteration of Gaza, is the outcome of a 100-year-old colonial occupation by Jewish Zionists in Israel backed by major imperial powers, starting with the British and a century later with the United States. This century-long assault by Israel has one objective – to force an indigenous people from their land.
The historian Rashid Khalid breaks what he calls “the hundred years of war on Palestine” into six periods. The first is the British support for Jewish Zionists during the British occupation of Palestine from 1917 and 1939. The second declaration of war is the 1947-1948 Nakbeh, or catastrophe, that saw Zionist militias ethnically cleanse 750,000 Palestinians from historic Palestine and carry out a series of massacres. The third is 1967 war when Israel seized the West Bank, East Jerusalem and Gaza and expelled another 250,000 Palestinians.
The fourth declaration of war on Palestine was Ariel Sharon’s invasion of Lebanon and the siege of Beirut, followed by the departure of Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) fighters to Tunisia and the 1982 massacre at the Sabra and Shatila refugee camps. The fourth war against the Palestinians began with the first intifada, or uprising in 1987, continued with the second intifada and is taking place with the Israeli brutal assault on Gaza.
The backdrop to this century of war by Israel on the Palestinians is the failure by Arab leaders to offer meaningful support to the Palestinians, in fact these leaders often colluded with Israel to weaken the Palestinian resistance movement. Joining me in the studio to discuss Israel’s settler colonial project, how it is being played out in Gaza and its consequences, is Rashid Khalidi, the Edward Said Professor of Modern Arab Studies at Columbia University and the author of “The Hundred Years’ War on Palestine: A History of Settler Colonization and Resistance, 1917-2017.”
CHE?
Really, we have to spend hours on Argentina now?
And here another question and a reflection arises, will Milei have the support of the youth and the middle classes in the face of the resistance of the unions and social movements? Argentina was the first progressive government of the 21st century to be won at the polls by the right (Macri, 2015), and it becomes the first progressive government to be won at the polls by the ultra-right (Milei, 2023). Previously, the right wrested power from the left through coups d’état (Honduras 2009, Bolivia 2019) or parliamentary (Paraguay 2012 or Brazil 2016), but Argentina is a pioneer in the electoral advance of the right and the ultra-right. Just as Chile was the laboratory of neoliberalism in the 20th century with the coup against Allende and the Chicago Boys, its neighboring country is a laboratory in the 21st century for the advance of the fascist ultra-right, disguised with a disruptive discourse that attracts young people and the middle classes, a discourse that is based on the mistakes of a government that did not even become the least bit progressive.

The HERD?
The UK’s worst living war criminal, Sir Anthony Blair wrote:
“There is no one like Henry Kissinger. From the first time I met him as a new Labour Party Opposition Leader in 1994, struggling to form views on foreign policy, to the last occasion when I visited him in New York and, later, when he spoke at my Institute’s annual gathering, I was in awe of him.”
Fucking Argentina can’t even get their islands back:
On January 3, 1833, the Malvinas Islands were illegally occupied by British forces who expelled the Argentine population and authorities established there legitimately, to replace them with British subjects. The illegitimate occupation of the Malvinas Islands was immediately protested by the Argentine authorities at that time and was never consented to by any Argentine government. Throughout the 188 years of usurpation, Argentina uninterruptedly maintained the firm claim for the exercise of sovereignty over the islands.
Back to Palestine: Fucking heroes. Banned.
Yemen’s Houthis say they fired ballistic missiles towards Israel
Israeli authorities say missile intercepted near Eilat after Houthi leader earlier promised to continue attacks.
Give these heroes guns, missiles, drones, plans, more.
