TPTB - Control and Consolidation in South America. CHAPTER TWO

...continuing (from Chapter One) : www.abovetopsecret.com...

The life of all these young republics continued, and the silent shape shifting shadow of the TPTB was always there. South America had been always a land in conflict, sunk in chaos apparently created by its own leaders.

In this chapter, I will use Argentina to describe how TPTB consolidates its economic control over South America. This case is well documented as you will see.

The National Constitution was sanctioned in 1853, and reformed in 1860, 1866, 1898, 1949, 1956, 1957, 1972, and 1994. Argentina had a very interrupted democratic history since 1930. Military dictatorships ruled the country in the periods 1930-1932, 1943-1946, 1955-1958, 1962-1963, 1966-1973, and 1976-1983.

Since the beginning, an elite equivalent to our current bankster controlled the country.

In the first half of the 19th century Juan Manuel de Rosas came to prominence as a caudillo in Buenos Aires province, representing the interests of rural elites and landowners. He became governor of the province in 1829 and, while he championed the Federalist cause, he also helped centralize political power in Buenos Aires and required that all international trade be funneled through the capital. His reign lasted more than 20 years (from 1829 to 1852), and he set ominous precedents in Argentine political life, creating the infamous mazorca (his ruthless political police force) and institutionalizing torture.

In 1852, Justo José de Urquiza, an ex supporter of Rosas, fought Rosas and took over . The first thing he did was to draw up a constitution, then he became the country’s first president.

In 1868 Domingo Faustino Sarmiento became president of Argentina. The country started to show prosperity and the European immigration began.

Originally known as the Imperial Order of the Southern Cross (Ordem Imperial do Cruzeiro do Sul), the Order was erected by Emperor Pedro I on the very day of his Coronation, on 1 December 1822. Also on the same date the first knights of the order were appointed, to commemorate the crowning of the Empire's first monarch.

Now, look at the next picture. No further comment needed about this Order.

The wealthy and educated of the Unitarian Party, such as Sarmiento, favored centralized government. While Sarmiento was pro-American and two contemporary U.S. presidents (John Quincy Adams and John Adams) .

I don’t know how to put down this part without calling it racist, it’s a dark episode that I can only describe it as the establishment of a white supremacy.

Buenos Aires’ economy boomed and immigrants poured in from Spain, Italy, Germany and Eastern Europe. The city’s population grew more than sevenfold from 1869 to 1895.

Still, much of the southern pampas and Patagonia were inaccessible for settlers because of fierce resistance from indigenous Mapuche and Tehuelche. Argentina’s next president, Nicolás Avellaneda, took care of that. In 1879 Avellaneda’s Minister of War, General Julio Argentino Roca, carried out a ruthless campaign of extermination against the indigenous people in what is known as the Conquista del Desierto (Conquest of the Desert). The campaign doubled the area under state control and opened up Patagonia to settlement and sheep. Junín de los Andes’ Vía Cristi memorial is likely the region’s most impressive and moving tribute to the Mapuche lives lost in this ‘war.’.

THE PERON ERA.

The military government put Perón in charge of the National Labor Office, where he became very popular among the working class.

Perón's popularity was anchored by an earthquake that occurred on January 15, 1944, in San Juan, a city near Mendoza in the shadows of the Andes. Ten thousand people died and nearly half the city was left homeless. The tragic event became the ultimate public relations opportunity for Perón, as he rallied support for the region.

Fearing his rise to power, the military government arrested Perón and imprisoned him on Juan García Island in the Tigre Delta. A near revolt occurred in Buenos Aires, and the government quickly released him.

As soon as Peron became the president, he nationalized the Central Bank and paid off its billion-dollar debt to the Bank of England. He also nationalized the railways owned by British and French companies.

Peron versus Bunge and Born

Bunge & Born's near-monopoly on cereal and flour exports ended with populist President Juan Perón's 1946 establishment of the IAPI, a state agricultural purchasing and export agent.[5] The company responded by extending its reach into the country fast-growing retail processed foods market, and though its prominence as the nation's chief exporter was partly restored by Perón's 1955 ouster and the IAPI's liquidation, its focus remained domestic over the next three decades. A privately-held company, Bunge & Born did not release periodical financial statements, though it reported US$2 billion in gross receipts in 1962; by then, it had become a leader in commodity futures trading, operating 110 offices worldwide.[6]

en.wikipedia.org...

Let’s find out more about Bunge and Born…..

#1 U.S. dry corn miller (through its subsidiary, Lauhoff Grain) (18% of the market); reportedly #1 Brazilian grain exporter; #2 U.S. soybean products (soymeal and soy oil) exporter; #3 U.S. grain exporter; #3 U.S. soybean processor; #4 world grain exporter; #4 U.S. grain elevator capacity; #7 Argentine grain exporter.

Bunge and Born is in the group of companies called “The Food Cartel Companies“…

Here are strategic profiles of 11 of the principal companies that constitute the Anglo-Dutch-Swiss food cartel. The profiles confirm that through multiple forms of concentration, these companies dominate grain, meat, dairy, and other food production, and the processing and distribution system of food, all the way to the supermarket. Very little food moves on the face of the earth without the food cartel having a hand in it.

… guess what….Monsanto is that list too.

THE IMF COMPLOT

The next ext-text will give us a perfect example of how the path of this country changed, most of you wouldn’t imagine that :

By the beginnings of the 20th century, Argentina was one of the most developed countries in the world. (In the 1890’s, Argentina was the sixth richest country in the world in per capita terms; and in the 1920’s it was among the top ten, ahead of nations like Germany or Italy). However, after the Great Depression, as a combination of democratic breakdown and poor economic policies, Argentina entered a path of economic decline that, except for brief spells (most notably the early and mid 1990’s), continues to the present.

Unexplainable, these countries rich of natural resources, couldn’t prosper in the same way as their neighbor in the north, and soon United States became the unquestionable leader in America (understanding America as a continent, not a country).

So, what happened???…It’s simple, there is room for only one leading country in America and any other growing economy would represent an unacceptable threat. A plan had to be designed in order to destroy any chance of rebuild the Argentinean economy.

Following a decade of high inflation and stagnant output, and several failed attempts to stabilize the economy, Argentina fell into hyperinflation in 1989. The Convertibility Plan, introduced in April 1991, was designed to stabilize the economy through drastic, and almost irreversible, measures. The plan was centered around the use of a currency board-like arrangement, in which the peso (set equal to 10,000 australes) was fixed at par with the U.S. dollar and autonomous money creation by the central bank was severely constrained. Significantly, it also included a broader agenda of market-oriented structural reforms to promote efficiency and productivity.

The plan was designed to fail since it was born, I doubt about the good intentions of the IMF, they actually sunk Argentina in deeper waters. In this amazing article, the smart guys from the IMF seems to express in an elegant way : “OOPS, I’M SORRY”.

The International Monetary Fund yesterday admitted that its mistakes helped plunge Argentina deeper into the red during the currency crisis that crippled the country's economy three years ago.

The financial meltdown that reached a climax in 2001, causing the country to default on $132 billion of foreign debt, was worsened by the government's vain attempts to maintain the Argentine peso's peg against the dollar. The IMF ploughed money into the country to help it sustain the peg, pledging an extra $22 billion as late as the end of 2000.

Well, I think they knew what they were doing all the time. Anyway, in order to extend our perception about it, I include here is an extense documentary (12 parts), probably never watched by most of the members. I encourage everybody to watch them all for many reasons, but in particular, because some of these things seems to be happening here now.

YPF - THE SPANISH OIL IN ARGENTINA.

This is when everything looks like a big joke, funny only for a few ones. Once the independence was declared, we wouldn’t expect to see Spain controlling the natural resources in Argentina. We lost the bet and spanish came back to their colony.

Yacimientos Petrolíferos Fiscales (YPF; English: "Fiscal Petroleum Fields") (BCBA: YPFD) is an Argentine oil company.
Founded in 1922 under President Hipólito Yrigoyen's administration, it was privatized in 1993 by Carlos Menem, and bought by the Spanish firm Repsol; the resulting merger in 1999 produced Repsol YPF.

en.wikipedia.org...

About a year ago, Repsol YPF anounced a new discovery of oil in Patagonia (Argentina). How convenient is that, time to suck all the juice from the colonies….again.

Quoting the president of YPF, “It’s something new, something Argentina did not know it had”. In other words, Argentina didn’t know what they were selling to Repsol.

Regarding the oil privatization in South America, here is an article that includes other countries, pointless to quote it since all the info inside should be analyzed.

actrav.itcilo.org...


And then …the president of Argentina Cristina Kirchner is now trying to recover what was lost maybe forever.

BUENOS AIRES, March 9 (UPI) — Argentina’s threat to seize control of Spanish subsidiary Repsol-YPF oil firm is taking a heavy toll on investor nerves but also forcing Madrid to attempt extreme diplomacy — getting King Juan Carlos to call Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner.

News of the king’s intervention, revealed by senior diplomats, heightened fears Argentina’s nationalization plans for Repsol-YPF could be serious enough to warrant the monarch’s telephone conversations with the president.

www.upi.com...

So, in other words: The King of Spain still rules. The ELITE rules, always did.

I intentionally omitted the Falklands/Malvinas as part of this chapter, it’s been widely treated here, but I’m open to eventual comments from other members about it since it’s not off-topic at all.

...end of chapter 2.

Nice propaganda bro....
Looks like your government is investing in people like you to spread their history.
