Argentina's Economic Collapse - Part 10 of 12

[joebarcelona]

There are no absolutes. It's all very subjective.

[AKbrewdog]

The US is even more corrupt than Argentina. The same thing will happen here only it will be worse, the similarities are shocking.

[angelwithmistake11]

The exact same thing is happening in Croatia. It is scary to see the similarity. For example the government also privatized our national oil company and currently the ex prime minister together with many ministers is being in the court because they got millions of dollars from the Hunary oil company to sell INA. The whole political party HDZ which is currently in power is being sued by the state attorney. The statement made by Menem at 1:05 is in the exact same word repeated by our prime m.

[joebarcelona]

What did they do with all the power and money? What do they have to show for it?

[papillonaquatique]

@joebarcelona High lifestyles, Security, Influence, The ability to do anything they want and if they don't get their way to murder and take from anyone and everyone they see fit until their rule is restored without any fear of consequences for their actions.

Absolute control is what they have to show for it.

[pablo88bsas]

Do it! carefully follow the instructions of the IMF and the orders from Washington, and if they have the necessary level of corruption will see the same thing happened in Argentina in anywhere in the world

we are not poor. Argentina is a very rich country. We are strugling with lots of problems now. And now we have to fix what US (with the help of lots of traitors) did to us. I invite you to visit Buenos Aires and the rest of Argentina.

[ferni1glass]

@pablo88bsas así es solo por el intereses de unos pocos deuda publica a privada. remates de empresas nacionales y publicas sin la autorización del pueblo. y sobre todo la maldita pobreza que mucha gente sufre y/o sufrió.

debemos destacar que aun así hoy en dia Argentina es un pais diferente.

[treefittyfive]

why are 14 year olds living in those conditions having children? idiots and savages.

[roberbonox]

@treefittyfive because the politicians took away his education, health and money you nimrod!

[treefittyfive]

thanks for the donations, argentina. we need it pretty badly right now. times are rough when i can only afford one slice of cake for dessert instead of two!

[NFSPS99999]

In how much debt were they actually in the end? Like 1 trillion?

[TheRewster1]

how much bad luck, these people have.

[gigisandiego96]

Next time you hear the word "austerity measures" here in the American press remember the image of that starving baby screaming in pain and 80% of children malnurished. Our media is ridiculously promoting being poor as being hip and ecologically minded. Its not hip and its not being green: it means being brainwashed. They are trying to mentally prepare us for deep poverty so that we don't complain or fight back.

[Ligerpride]

In Ireland we also have politicians who sold a massive oil field to Shell for absolutely nothing. We could have done with that €40 billion!! I've observed many similarities between the Argentinian situation and that of Ireland. IMF brothers in arms.

[u2bMODERATOR]

Se no Brasil o racismo já empurra as minorias para as regiões pobres, que dirá-se da Argentina...

[santopadre666]

la imagen del niñito casi me hace llorar

menem es realmente un mafioso hijo de puta

y pensar que la mierda de la bolocco se casó con ese maldito, tal para cual.

que lástima que acá en chile sea importante la imagen de esta perra

cuando veo estas imagenes, esa perra me da asco, tan cómplice de este delincuente

[INIGUEZELI]

@santopadre666 Siento lo mismo que vos, un abrazo hermano

[krustyegg]

Yes stuntpea im too sadly, not one f' in word in ten years what a bang up job the media does; its far more important to know what the queen eat for breakfast.

the only item i have heard before this was somthing in jan2010 about a dispute over oil and the falklands; What a lot of shills and lackys we have for authorities.

welcome to the brave new world terror! the future is only gonna get worse.

[LuqmanNaq]

@krustyegg Yep, the MSM pisses me off. The masses are conditioned to accept them as the source of 'truth' about world events. Check out a forum called ukpreppers where likeminded brits who are corncerned about the future of the country prepare for the collapse and share ideas.

[saintron60]

Please view and spread. the video response. it's just an attempt to alert those in power that there are many with serious questions about the things transpiring in the gulf. they have given up on trying to stop the flow. And are placing all OUR eggs in the relief wells. And that's madness.

This series was very well done. I subscribed and look forward to more. I wish I had the skills to create something like this. Peace and love to all

[tigersoup]

some argentine nationalist should get rid of cavallo

[lorddinaire]

Seria bueno recordar que la Segunda Guerra Mundial, es una guerra entre gobiernos electos: Alemania Nazi, Italia fascista y La Tirania Japonesa, eran gobiernos votados por el pueblo.. el Peronismo tiene la misma raiz de esos gobiernos criminales,

[37311636]

Gerardo Sofovich? 0:55

[politicalsheepdog]

I find it odd how Argentina had Government owned industry and utilities that were sold off to private interests and dimantled and the U.S. was the oposite with private corporations being bought up by our Obama Progressive/Communist Regime were they will ultimatly fail.

[LAVB432]

Can you explain what you mean? As Iread it, it sounds like: private interests are ok while they remain private. Even if the influence state

[politicalsheepdog]

I could be totally wrong but it sounds like Argentina had a Solialist structure with the Government owning the Oil production and Nuclear Power and the RailRoads. In the U.S. these things are mostly owned by the private sector with some regulation by Government.

It appeared the set up Argentina originally had was working well and everything fell apart when it's leaders started selling everything off at bargain basement prices.

[hrbear]

@politicalsheepdog I understood in a different way bu this documentary, they privatized these state companies in very low prices, and then the private banks, oil companies, phone companies were so unresponsible that really destroyed the environment, debt the companies as much as they could, made money laundries, things that could not do in the U.S or E.U. So this kind of policy was finally more catastrophic.

[politicalsheepdog]

@hrbear To me it appears the country was raped.

[batonpatriot]

@hrbear couldnt happen in US or EU? You are not paying attention!

It has been happening there for decades and now here in the USA

too. Arentina's story is USA story, only we have not come to the

final collapse yet.....BUT IT'S COMING!

[Chonors686]

It is not the bankers although they are guilty of greed as we all. It was the politicians in the Democratic Party who destroyed the integrity of Fannie Mae forcing banks to make trillions of dollars worth of undocument mortgage loans to people that couldn't hope to repay them. THEY caused this: Barney Frank, Chris Dodd, Jim Johnson, Franklin Raines with an assist from the entire Democratic leadership that let it happen. THEY should all be tried for what they did.

[LAVB432]

No, bankers. Let them public ALL their documents, let´s see what they say

[Chonors686]

What does that mean? Certainly greed came into the picture once the sub primes were floated but in a capitalistic sociey what's wrong with greed? YOU are greedy and so am I. If these ridiculous no-doc loans were never issued none of this would ever have happened. You don't LEND money to people who can't pay you back. You either GIVE IT TO THEM or you do nothing. And if you do, YOU MARK THOSE LOANS 'TOXIC LOANS". That's what they didn't do.

[LAVB432]

I´m not greedy, sorry to dissapoint you. I have as much as I want and my ambition reduces to knowledge. In any case, I´m affraid of not having enough to end the month, as most people.

From this point of you I can say that all humans are compassionate and carefull of others. I can even argue that, but I know and you know that human nature is a pollemic issue, we won´t agree on this.

But we can agree that remembering how important banks are for a society like ours, they should be regulated.

[hrbear]

@LAVB432 As I see from the video that there is a big problem with birth control, I mean this woman is extremely poor and she has 7 children, the state did not take care to inform the citizens, to supply condoms to the families and to young women. A girl to become a mother in the age of 14 is a problem! People here also have difficulties, the money is not enough to end the month as you say, you can only go to small shops / kiosks and ask them to debt you, to buy cigarettes and you pay them later.

[fedeminiciUK]

Gracias Hermano, tus palabras son muy apreciadas.

El unico amigo que America Latina tiene en esta lucha es el Rifle.

[LAVB432]

loco sociópata sería un país cuyo único amigo fuera un arma

[ernytopetrelli]

nunca antes habia llorado con un video en You Tube.. hoy seguimos teniendo consecuencias de lo que se pudo ver hasta el capitulo 10 de esta serie.... si es que se la puede lamar asi.... Ahora uno, teniedo un poco mas de madurez, lo que significo el 2001 para Argentina....

[stuntpea]

I'm a Brit and I vaguely remember hearing about the collapse in Argentina in 2001, but it really wasn't reported here at all.

Menem was reported as a nice guy over here.

I hope your country gets back on its feet.

I fear Britain and America are heading down the same path.

[elevenbravoxviii]

Stuntpea,

I'm in the US, and also vaguely remember hearing about this. The MSM of our countries don't want us hearing about these types of situations... we might draw "unfounded" or "illogical" parallels.

[CyberAthletethefirst]

@elevenbravoxviii at Harvard they call these "policy comparisons"

[awellwisher]

I agree. I believe a major way we can prepare for a very possible economic collapse in the US and the UK is by becoming independent of supermarkets, etc. by growing our own food, etc. As I've been watching this I've been thinking, "Too bad the people in Argentina didn't have gardens. Then at least they'd have food to eat."

[nwoecb]

@stuntpea i was thinking exactly the same.. what happened to argentina is right now happening to the west. the IMF, WorldBank, the private central banks (Federal Reserve, Bank of England, etc.) are the main power tool of the NEW WORLD ORDER. they are under control of the satanic Rothschilds and Rockefellers, etc.

[LAVB432]

ehhh, even if we are poor, we are part of the west, as most parts of Africa

[Eiche2k]

@stuntpea Thanks! We are better now. :)

[tigersoup]

@stuntpea what are you talking about? britian and America are directly responsible for that... money laundering is big time business in foreign countries... colonial rule have mastered it for ages... countries that look up to America and Britian have been completely bankrupted by corrupting their politicians!

[nachocolegiales]

@stuntpea he was mentioned as a nice guy cos he destroyed our companies and made the ground for european and USA companies to come. money moves mountains so......i rememred that once Clinton said "this is the man that gives lots of jobs to american people" but the other side of the coin for this is the undeveloped children that we had.

Now we are much better cos comodities are at good price.

At all south America this happened i know it will sound a little strange but i have proves

[nachocolegiales]

@stuntpea that shows that south america politics is defined by USA and UK all through its history. when a dictatorial goverment was in Argentina the same happened to the rest of the countries.

one example: The same lawyers that defended Argentina of the debt (to see if it was legal or not) are the the onces that worked at the banks that lend us the money.

I know of course that you are not to blame, cos its USA and UK goverments responsability. If you are interested i can give you this info.

[KirkMcLoren]

@stuntpea  yes we are - these criminals are internationalists

[spikeargentina]

@stuntpea

yes when menem was here in argentina everyone say that the country was doing well , but now that the country is doing well every media say that we are ruined i recomend to you and to elvenbravoxvii to view "the shock doctrine" because the brits get fucked after the faklands war , tatcher take the neoliberalism ideas and uses the shock doctrine after faklands for implement that ideas.

[majo271010]

@spikeargentina do you really belive we are okey? please i invite you to go to the north of the country, and witness with your eyes wide open how little kids die of hunger, we are not doing well, be are "better" but still theres a lot of corruption, still everything is private, still there is a lot of poverty, still the lies.

WE ARE NOT DOING WELL

[fistofthenorthstar89]

@stuntpea The Anglosphere is in trouble; we've got a zombie bank problem, and warmonger problem, not to mention a demagogue (i.e. Cameron/Obama) problem. We need to find programs for recovery and kick out the bums. Go to Tarpley.net at the top of the website for a 5 point emergency recovery program.

[damiion666]

@fistofthenorthstar89 LOL what a kook site.

[doogleandalix]

@stuntpea

They don't like to publicize because this was just a precursor of what was to come if thye got away with it in a place like Argentina . The USA is on the short list for this to happen next. The problem is the corrupt and absolute power of the global economic system - the maynipulate the figures, bailout their fat cat friends in Wall Street while we are left holding the bag , send billions to other countries daily while they tell us we are brok and must tighten out belts, all a scam

[marianomanto]

@stuntpea My friend: Rise with your people, dont let this happen to you.

My best wishes from Argentina

[AetherWisp]

What happens when all they have left (the bankers) is each other?

Are they so shallow that they think that they won't turn on one another?

Good people here. Good sparks extinguished for what? So some trophy banker wife can have a new fur-coat? Such a waste of the possibility of solid evolution and instead we get PIGS that wear PEARLS for leaders.

[horta85]

I love you too!

[horta85]

No I got your point. But your point is just a pointless bias ignorant comment. Now fuck off ball licks.

[horta85]

What? Dude your talking like a perv, a pedophile, a child grabber, don't comment me back anymore!

[horta85]

It's a natural effect that people need some sort of control image or dependency. For example our US government, for how many years have we turned to our government? And now many stood on the streets crying over a new president...... Believing. Hoping.

[curbaez]

like I said, you guys need Che Guevara !!! taking it for more than 30 years ??? dang wake up people

[spikaia]

Che Guevara wasnt God. Stop saying we need him. What we need is to buy back what was our and to apply the law to corruption

[megamix]

If you thought anything changed in Argentina since 2001... well, nothing changed. In fact, it only got worse. Crime rates are rising. One kid murdered someone to get money to buy Nike shoes. And the politicians are stealing more than ever, making people believe they are changing the country, when they don't.

[greenfaso]

DIE MENEM DIE MENEM DIE MENEM

[LAVB432]

Is die Menem die or Die Menem, die (in german)

[ssnakeydnb]

find an alternative for money then you solved all your problems

[blahdelablah]

@ssnakeydnb

It's not so much an alternative for money that is needed but a rather different monetary policy that ensures money keeps its value and is in the hands of people who have earned it.

[thexlastxemperor]

Obama is not your savior!!

[ironflesh]

get ready for social genocide in america.

[goody657]

that poor baby if that dont make you wanna smash up the banksters nothing will.... the streets wait for you........

[neisy2362]

No one is ALLOWING shit! (Sugarpuddin)Our votes don't count, our food, water, education, and press are geared for mind control, evil, and poison. Our courts corrupt, organized religion an abomination, and taxed to death.We protest in the streets, are gassed, jailed, infiltrated, and beaten down with all precision and high technology.I want revolution as much as anyone and my heart shatters for what I just saw in these vids. We are trying to organize but WTF??! Stop asking why and tell me...how?

[truthsabre7]

People laugh at me when I tell them their own forces will turn on them.

[Intangion]

why is such a supposedly advanced and intelligent race so easily lead to its own destruction ;(

[anasoftmarine]

well I guess the answer to that is that at it´s core nature it is as evil as advanced and intelligent. By the way, intelligence doesn´t equal wisdom nor love

[nameofthepen]

Nonsense, anasoft - not all of society is "at it's core nature ...as evil as advanced..."

They are stupid and too trusting. But they are preyed upon by a breed of 2-legged monster which I am not prepared to call "human".

Look at which tribe of people throughout the globe is always at the heart of the money-strangle in every country, and you have your virus.

Follow the money. Always.

[ironflesh]

because we are as creative in our creation as in our own destruction.

[nameofthepen]

ironflesh - same thing I told anasoftmarine.

"We" are not destroying ourselves. People do fine - until the bankers, money-lenders, money-changers that Jesus chased from the temple get their hands upon the reins of power.

Have you read any of the passages of their holy hate-book called the torah? You might find that quite fascinating, and would explain a lot of their callous indifference to the suffering of those of us they consider "cattle".

[wimmyroadisback]

@Intangion greed, evil selfishness, mental disorder

[robertwc82]

those bastards deserve to starve to death themselves

[mfsm67]

el problema de Argentina es que esta cada vez mas llena de argentinos... en cierta forma tenemos lo que nos merecemos...

[caropixarfan]

lo mas gracioso es que menem pudo terminar su mandato tranquilamente y a de la rua casi lo colgamos vivo

[LAVB432]

con ménem no había esperanzas. Solo el deseo de parar la inflación. Con de La Rúa sí había muchos deseos traicionados

[fremlinskent]

It's hard to imagine undernourishment in Argentina.

No doubt the greedy politicians and bankers don't go hungry.

[HazMat728]

I'm sorry but if I were Argentinian, I would have taken it upon myself to assassinate Mena

[sugarpuddin88]

Haz - Are you American?

Why don't Americans prosecute George Bush for selling the war on Iraq on a pack of lies that led to the deaths of over 1 million Iraqis - 500,000 of which were children whose only crime was being born in the wrong place at the wrong time!

Why don't they prosecute George Bush who created 911; whose brother shut down security of the Twin Towers & then lined it with thermite?

Why does the USA allow the private bankers of the FED Res to print their money out of thin air?

[HazMat728]

Dude, you are right on the money. George Bush is an even bigger piece of treasonous scum who should be put to death. Like you pointed out, he has already killed thousands of Iraqi as well as American people and yet people support him? I would relish the sight of him behind bars.

[sugarpuddin88]

Last time a Bush or Nixon was not in a Republican White House: 1928

[leafwatch]

Why don't the American people fire and prosecute every Republican and Democrat who voted over and over to rob us in Bailout after Bailout and Stimulus and handover to the banksters and mega corporations, all the time ratcheting up the military-industrial complex and wars? We make the same mistake as the Argentinians, believing politicians. Power corrupts absolutely, party and proclaimed ideology make no difference. No politician should have immense power. They always misuse it and betray us.

[CherokeeApacheIrish]

I will tell you why! Because too many of my fellow of Americans are soo ill educated on what a actual free society consists of that they don't see criminality when they see it in theirt own leaders. I for one have been trying to get my Fellow americans to wake up for the better part of 30 years but for the most part they are in a zombie like daze! The people were about ready to revolt with Bush then the elites push their new guy Obama into office

[CherokeeApacheIrish]

Obama gets into office the people that were about to revolt suddenly relax and think who they trust will fix things but Obama has already flipped no sooner than he gets in office, with near about the same economic policy and foriegn military policy. Just like Argentina, the American voters get scammed once again! Sad but i don't think americans will revolt till we collapse!

[sugarpuddin88]

I just uploaded the video or Sen Rockefeller making a play to end US access to the internet via Bill 773 & 778

with my compliments

[lachulablanca]

When will people learn a politician only tells you what he thinks you want to hear to get him into office. Then he does whatever he wants to make him and his friends as much money as possible.

[MAFlOTU]

what the hell are they doing with such much amount of money "?

Never can figure it out !!!

They are all old and grumpy, almost to an the verge of dying, but they still need money !!!

[Nuclearcx]

emerging technology that only the super rich can gain access to in medicine (to cure cancer and old age diseases) and life extention methods probably

[robertwc82]

whatever it is, im sure it justifies all those starving kids

[lachulablanca]

I'm surprised they didn't hang them in the streets.

[Swissbank1]

they were using privatisation in a country in south east asia but failed because the citizen acted quickly and sack the government before they become cronic in corruption.

[Nuclearcx]

privatization is NOT the problem when it is done in a reasonable way, such as selling state owned companies to other big similar companies that already exist in the country so that they won't be dismantled. It's when they are sold to multinational assbag companies and banks in deals filled with bribes and scams that it becomes a problem, and for a lack of a better word to define it, a treason.

[thelumberjackjohn]

Jesus christ in you and I are the only hope this world has..

[lcbaudar]

The tragedy is so vast! It's unbearable. That politicians & world bankers could go on fleecing the land of it's only wealth is evil only matched by pure genocide.

[theagnosticeye]

9:01 is the result of these greedy fucks. Fuck a lot of this and it does seem that America is headed in the very same direction..

[shootcocacola73]

@theagnosticeye breaks my heart

[supreme600]

This is a travesty of the greed of the international bankers, the IMF and the world bank.
