President Milei’s Decrees Which Have Caused Mass Protests and Argentina’s Congress Being Surrounded
Citizen Watch Report ^

Posted on 12/21/2023 6:51:48 AM PST by davikkm

"Argentines Today is a historic day for our country after decades of failures, impoverishment, decadence and anomie, today we formally begin the path of reconstruction since we took office just 8 business days ago, we have been focused on trying to contain the enormous crisis that we inherited, that is why we designed a shock stabilization plan that includes a fiscal adjustment program, an exchange rate policy that adjusted the exchange rate to the market value and a monetary policy that includes the sanitation of the Central Bank. We are doing our utmost to try to reduce the tragic effects of what can be the worst crisis in our history as a result of decades of governments that have

insisted on failed recipes because as we said during all these months the problem is not the chef but the recipe. Those ideas that failed in Argentina are the same ideas that have failed throughout throughout the planet because wherever they have been attempted they have been an economic failure they have been a social failure they have been a cultural failure and on top of that they have cost the lives of millions of human beings that doctrine that some could call left socialism fascism communism and what we like to classify as collectivism is a form of thought that dilutes the individual in favor of the Power of the state is the basic foundation of the caste model is a doctrine of thought that is based on the premise that"

Reading through the decree made for some interesting conclusions, using simple word substitution -- things Argentine for things American.

Sounds like a plan....

I have posted here and told people OVER AND OVER AGAIN that we are in danger of becoming Argentina, but almost no one listens or even understands the paradigm developing. Go read FERFAL!!!

As I see it the country I’ve known is no longer the country I’m seeing now.....it was under Obamas terms and prior to his win things were changing ‘rapidly’. Bidens term is simply Obamas people in Washington and his agenda continuing.

He said he would change the face of this nation and he’s accomplishing this.

Problem solving begins with a correct, concise statement of what the problem is. This fellow seems to be hitting on all cylinders for problem recognition, next comes the hard part. As Paul Harvey used to say - stay tuned for news!

Argentina’s free shit army has been called to arms.

Example: Argentina’s state-run rail carrier has MORE public union employees than USA’s Amtrak, with only 15% of the track-miles of Amtrak. Its one of the things Milei has vowed to cut

deconstruction might be a better word, but then comes reconstruction which I think the market place has a plan for.

But conservatives even think the solution lies with govt.. Not trust in the market place.

Tough times is the cure, do we want to be cured?

So what should be the plans for reconstruction if you were to understand the plan?

It is so easy to say what we don’t want, but it leaves you no where.

The simple plan for the US should be to take the power from the central govt and force it back to state and local. That will be chaos but is what our Founding Fathers designed.

Keep in mind THERE IS NO PERFECT PLAN. We all need to pay a price for freedom. A reminder that freedom is not absolute, it comes with responsibilities.

While Argentina’s economy certainly needs to be reformed, as a practical matter it needs to be done gradually so people have a chance to adapt to these reforms otherwise you risk too many people in dire economic straights all at once. This means he quickly loses support and the people rebel and nothing gets accomplished. Pus this guy strikes me as kind of a flake and I have little confidence he’ll achieve much of anything before being thrown out of office.

This guy would make our Founders smile...

“From this belief that
politicians are superior beings who must govern the
destinies of each of us, an institutional scaffolding
emerges that It makes it impossible for anyone to work,
trade or be educated without their permission while in a
free society everything is allowed except what is
prohibited in a collectivist society like Argentina
everything is prohibited except what is allowed by
politicians in clear opposition to the Spirit of our liberal Constitution that sought to restrict the arbitrary
power of the state in defense of the life, liberty and
property of individuals.”

I wish him all the luck in the world.

“take the power from the central govt and force it back to state and local”

My political priorities are:
1. square footage, dollar-based property tax caps
2. denouncing (officially exiting) the Refugee Convention
3. a blocked currency such as India has
4. percentage income tax caps for the middle and working classes
5. dedication of the income tax from people paying any higher rate to the payoff of the existing national debt

There is some sort of strange belief that state and local government power is good. New York State and California have provided ample evidence to the contrary.

If we were only approaching Argentina I would not be so worried.

We are rolling headlong into becoming Venezuela.

quotes from a review:

With the guidance of where to live and what to live in, the author then dwells on commuting by foot during such times, and endorses the Grey Man Ethos: ‘I try to look as neutral and as ordinary as I can. Most of the time, I just wear jeans and a t-shirt. I stick to black, blue, dark green, or gray.’ He advises that the typical home invasion occurs during leaving and entering, to be aware of that risk and to ‘keep your keys handy. You don’t want to spend precious minutes diving in your purse or bag looking for them at the door. Keep them attached to something where they are easy to retrieve at all times and have the exact door key ready when you approach the door.’ He emphasizes that this type of situational awareness is important because there can be increased risk of kidnappings, especially in middle-class and more well-to-do areas. Therefore, it is important to conduct oneself in as non-descript a manner as possible. If the currency of one’s country has lost 70% purchasing power in the last 90 days, this is not the time for conspicuous consumption. This is the time for restraint and discretion.

...the author also provides detailed guidance about vehicles, including the advantages of having a motorcycle (small size, ability to maneuver around roadblocks, travel off the road, lower gas consumption, and good for rural routes and small towns). Ferfal provides detailed guidance for types of cars to own and how to drive defensively. This includes pieces of advice I would not have expected, such as most serious kidnappers spending months studying their target, wearing glasses with shatter-proof lenses, and the increased risk of fake police checkpoints and car accidents.

Learn which products have longer shelf life and store them in a cool, dry, dark place away from rodents and insects. Check the basic food groups and make sure you’ve got them covered...’ ‘For boiling water there are those little gadgets that have a heating element and a cord that uses normal household electric current.’ He also gives advice on edible game in the city including cats, doves, and pigeons. Furthermore, he emphasizes the importance of water storage and the importance of having at least two weeks of potable water, plus water for a few flushes and showers. He suggests that silver impregnated ceramic filters with active carbon filtration are worthwhile water filters. This book is simply replete with lots of practical guidance, and it is a little difficult to do that justice.

Pivoting to the topic of self-defense, he suggests that boxing ‘will give you quick hands and you’ll learn to punch well instead of relying on heel-of-the-hand or open palm techniques.’ His basic points with hand-to-hand fighting include the advice to react violently, keep your guard up, have a plan, expect the attack, stick to simple moves and strikes, to have continuity in your attack, and with sparring to use a mouthpiece, and gloves, and avoid poking eyes, kicking testicles, or breaking fingers. With knife selection, he advises to stick to quality brands, get an effective fighting blade design, and to go for a serrated edge. He also provides guidance on a variety of unconventional weapons (chairs, bottles, baseball bats, steel pipes, pens, umbrellas, nail clippers, keys, brass knuckles).

“We are rolling headlong into becoming Venezuela.”

Experts in crime are arriving daily from Venezuela.

Communist policies beget criminality. Some persons can’t make an honest ‘buck’ choose to acquire ‘bucks’ via crime.

“After 1933, not only was most gold banned in the USA, but bank deposit boxes could not be opened without a federal tax agent from the IRS present.”

One in 10,000 finally listens. I can not begin to explain how fed up I am with people. I am not trying to sell something like the rest of the pundits, just telling the truth to thousands of willingly deaf people. I have had ALL I can take.
