Falkland Islands Controversy Renewed-Worthless Crags Or Geopolitical Gold Mines?


The socialist Argentinian presidents-elect (Fernandez-Fernandez) will not take office for another month, yet there have already been multiple disruptions of the uneasy peace with Britain in place since the 1982 Falkland Islands War.  These windswept semipolar islands, known to Argentinians as the "Islas Malvinas", control passage around the Cape of Good Hope.  The 610-mile wide gap between South America and Antarctica (The Drake Passage) is the only way between the Atlantic and Pacific oceans, other than the Panama Canal, which is indefensible in a true global conflict. 

While the Falklands War seems long ago and far away, and a tiny, regional conflict between junior-varsity belligerents, it actually did much to shape jet-age military doctrines and cold-war-era diplomacy.  And it was over strategic control of not only the Atlantic-Pacific sea lanes, but also control over the enigmatic hotbed of modern controversy and alien rumors,  ANTARCTICA.

Argentina, a developing country and by no means a world power, has more personnel and bases in Antarctica than any other nation.  Britain, before the 1982 Falklands reinvasion, played a significant part in the ill-fated Operation High Jump after WWII.  The operation was led by US Rear Admiral Richard E. Byrd, Jr., a celebrated veteran of BOTH world wars and Medal of Honor recipient.  The claims made by Admiral Byrd about the operation (an expedition to Antarctica) were so preposterous that he returned in defeat and died a suspicious death in obscurity not many years later.  It is not my intention to prove or disprove the admiral's claims, but rather report that there is today renewed controversy over this strategic sea-gate involving Perónist (Nazi) Argentina, and the steward of said gate for almost 200 years, Great Britain.

Controlling access to the Antarctic Peninsula (which extends northward 810 miles and is by far the most temperate and hospitable part of the continent) are not only the Falklands, but also the South Georgia & Sandwich Islands, South Shetland Islands, and South Orkney Islands.  Britain claimed and defended all these islands in antiquity, and the Falklands conflict actually began with Argentine occupation of the much smaller South Sandwich Islands, 860 miles ESE of the Falklands.  The world wondered why anyone would care about a place so remote it has no permanent population, and the answer is now becoming more clear-it is the gateway to Antarctica.

Are there, or were there in the days of Admiral Byrd, Nazis and  wunderwaffen in Antarctica?  Regardless, there were Nazis in Argentina--this is historical fact.  The rat lines of the "Odessa File" did end in Buenos Aires.  Adolf Hitler was close personal friends with Argentine despot Juan Perón, and under the banner of Perónism, true Nazism has had a second lease on life that continues today.  Perón was driven from power in 1955, came out of exile to retake the presidency in 1973, and died in 1975 to leave his final wife Isabel de Perón to be the very first madame president of the world (his earlier and much younger second wife Evita, famously played by Madonna in the movie by that name, is a great heroine of leftism even today).  The flag of Perónism was later carried by President Nestor Kirchner, the son of German immigrants.  Nestor's widow Cristina (Fernandez de Kirchner) took the presidency after his decease and was herself madame president for two terms.  Despite her implication in a dozen corruption scandals, Cristina is presently the vice-president-elect of Argentina behind president-elect Alberto Fernandez.  Cristina is in Cuba until November 11th plotting the socialist takeover of the world. Alberto Fernandez is in Mexico City doing the same, meeting with socialist President AMLO and speaking at the university there on the glories of socialism and how it will unite and overtake the Western Hemisphere in its present (red) renaissance.  His speech there and honored reception are widely reported. What's not in the news (reported by my observer within the university) is that Fernandez faces great opposition from students. Students that oppose him for being a fascist Nazi!  The thin veil of socialism in the Americas is ripping open to reveal its true nature, that of militant communism. This doctrine, whether named communism, Nazism, or Perónism, is one united doctrine of conquest and tyranny...and it is entrenched not only in Argentina but in icy NeuSchwabenland!
