Falklands

The Falklands are far away, in the South Atlantic full of sheep and that was about it apart from 2,000 Brits minding their own business. Then the hooligans that run Argentina decided to invade, leading to the Falklands War. They lost which is pleasing even though men died. It was a close run thing due to the ammo states. Losing a cargo ship meant far fewer Land Rovers and other goodies.

Now [ February 2010 ] it is all starting again because they have Oil. There may be more than the North Sea. The Argies have timed it so that we might have to go down there in Southern winter.

Bill Hunter Christie
Single handedly saved the Falklands for England and people. He was at Marlborough, with the Coldstreams, wounded in 1943, South American Department at the FO, Third Secretary in Buenos Aires, Scott Polar Research Institute in Cambridge. Treason started with Wilson in 1968. He joined the Falklands committee and was highly effective. Peron had told him earlier that he was going to make aggro over the Falklands in order to divert the peasants from his foul ups. Bill started the fishing policy which is making the Falklanders rich. If Her Majesty's Government had listened to the committee there would have been no war, so in essence it was started by the FO looking as though they wanted to get rid of it. See page 25 Daily Telegraph 27 September 1997
PS The FCO was deliberately giving them away.

 

Falklands History
Tells us about the Argentinean moves and Her Majesty's Government's track record of treasonous intent.  The Foreign Office did not want the bother, the fish or the oil. Do we want the Foreign Office? They were not trying to get rid of them by neglect but by active sabotage.

Falkland Oil Reserves Set To Be Another North Sea [  25 January 2010 ]
QUOTE
THE Falklands may contain oil reserves to rival any North Sea field, according to independent surveys of the islands’ geology. Five British exploration companies are active in the region where oil giant Shell once found a source. Experts believe it is only a matter of time before the islands join the ranks of the world’s oil producers. UK-listed Desire Petroleum and Rockhopper Exploration plan to start drilling in the Falklands next month. If they strike lucky, the capital, Port Stanley, could be the next Aberdeen and the 2,500 islanders could become wildly rich overnight..........

The explorers’ ambitious plans come a decade after oil giants abandoned the area, deciding it was not commercially viable. Then oil fetched $10 a barrel. With the price now topping $75, the economics of oil exploration are a different matter.
UNQUOTE
This does not quite prove that the Foreign Office is a bunch of pinko poofters and traitors but it is suggestive. Maggie got it right but men died as a result of FO machinations. The Parachute Regiment got all of the VCs awarded in that war. The first at was Goose Green. Sergeant McKay got the other at Mount Longdon

 

Argies Trying It On Again In The Falklands [ 17 February 2010 ]
QUOTE
Argentina has said that it is taking control over all shipping between its coast and the Falkland Islands, effectively awarding itself the power to blockade the disputed territory. According to a decree issued by President Kirchner, all ships sailing through the waters claimed by Argentina must hold a permit. The measure looks set to deepen a row over conflicting claims to oil beds lying inside the Falklands’ territorial waters. Argentina still claims sovereignty over the islands it calls “Las Malvinas”, nearly three decades after the end of the Falklands conflict in which more than a thousand people died.

Tensions over the islands remained buried until the discovery of potentially rich energy reserves in the Falklands’ seabed. Argentina protested to Britain this month over plans to begin offshore drilling near the islands. Today’s decree amounts to an Argentinian move to control all traffic from South America towards the islands, including an oil rig due to arrive today and start drilling next year............

Geological studies estimate that up to 60 billion barrels of oil could be buried in the seabed around the Falklands, making it a reserve on the scale of the North Sea, which has so far produced 40 billion......... Britain has more than 1,000 military personnel on land and more than 300 at sea in the region, as well as four Typhoon jets, a destroyer and a patrol boat in the region.
UNQUOTE
Peron decided to steal the Falklands to distract his people from his foul ups. The Foreign Office betrayed us that time by giving nods and winks to the enemy. Maggie and the Army sorted it. Now gigabucks are in prospect so they are going to chance their arm again unless they are told rather firmly to go away. Brown is a traitor, willing to send men to steal oil for Israel in Iraq. Doing it for England is very different. However Cameron will be the prime minister soon. He will not be able to ignore Maggie's example.

 

Argies Trying It On Again. They Want Oil [ 27 February 2010 ]
QUOTE
A British destroyer, HMS York, intercepted an Argentine warship near Falkland Islands. Some sources indicated that the explanation given by the crew of the corvette ARA Drummond was that ‘they did not know where they were’.  Argentina is testing British determination and probing British defenses. In 1982, Argentina sent ‘workers’ that proved to be spearhead troops testing the ground for an invasion. All the comments indicating that Argentina is not able to carry out an invasion ’because it does not have the capability to do so’ do not ring true.

 The Argentine warship entered waters where oil exploration companies have already started drilling in what is clearly part of the whole spectacle aimed at preparing the Argentine people for an eventual invasion. Just hours ago, demonstrators were burning British flags in Buenos Aires.
UNQUOTE
They are chancers on the make. Doubtless they are annoyed about losing last time. Brown won't let them get away with it when he wants votes. Cameron is just as much a traitor as Brown but he will not have the nerve to let them get away with it.

 

Falkland Oil Strike Could Be The Biggest Since The North Sea [ 6 June 2010 ]
QUOTE
An oil field discovery in the Falklands was hailed yesterday as potentially the biggest discovery of its kind since North Sea Oil. Shares in Rockhopper exploration soared 52 per cent yesterday as the company said it expected to pump out at least 242 million barrels of oil from the 'Sea Lion' well  - the expedition's first major oil find. And some predicted there could be millions more barrels of oil lying untapped in the area - sparking hopes that the region could hold as much oil as the North Sea.......... Commercial production could lead to an economic boom for the remote British territory, which is home to about 3,000 people.
UNQUOTE
Oil, sheep and fish are what the Falklands are about. Oil is the most important. The Foreign Office tried to give it all to Argentina; treason is policy but it failed that time. Maggie beat them.

 

Brazil Will Build Nuclear Submarines [ 18 July 2011 ]
QUOTE
Brazil to build nuclear submarines which will dramatically alter balance of power in South America The Brazilian government has started work on a submarine programme which will include the construction of South America's first nuclear subs. The move will boost Brazil's claim to be the strongest force in the region, and strengthen the country's military assertiveness. This new-found power may harm Britain in the event of another flare-up over the Falklands, according to U.S. news agency Global Post, as Brazil thinks the islands should belong to Argentina. The defence plan was announced in 2008, and will eventually involve the construction of five new submarines. Each will cost around $565 million.......

Government officials claim that the subs will be used to protect the country's offshore oil reserves, and the exploration platforms which are intended to expand those reserves. However, Brazil is an outspoken advocate of Argentina's right to claim the Falkland Islands - or Las Malvinas, as they are known in South America.
UNQUOTE
This happens as Cameron is weakening our forces. He would claim that he is not a traitor. By their fruits shall Ye know them.

 

Britain To Upgrade Falkland Defences [ 8 December 2011 ]
QUOTE
STANLEY, Falkland Islands, Nov. 16 (UPI) -- British-ruled Falkland Islands' defenses will receive a multimillion-dollar uplift following the award of contracts from London to a company refurbishing several outposts of the U.K. military in the South Atlantic and the Mediterranean.

Every British military move in Falklands has drawn ire from Argentina, which has ratcheted up an international campaign to dispute Britain's sovereignty over the islands. Argentina and Britain went to war over the islands in 1982 after an Argentine force, backed by the country's dictators at the time, invaded the territories.

Argentina's takeover bid was foiled by Britain, but the resulting conflict caused about 1,000 deaths among civilians and military personnel. Despite a formal Argentine surrender after retreat from the Falklands, Buenos Aires revived claims over the Falklands, now vigorously orchestrated by Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner..........

The Falklands are currently used by British forces for combat training before deployment in the Middle East and Afghanistan [ The climate is ideal of course - Editor ].
UNQUOTE
Peron decided to take over the Falklands as a publicity stunt, to stop the peasants criticizing his foul ups. They still want them. Sabre rattling is likely to be as far as it goes. Their first invasion was a war crime - see Casus Belli for the legal justifications. Oil is an important reason. The Grauniad is full of treasonous intent - see  The Falklands can no longer remain as Britain's expensive nuisance
PS The Argentinean Army is rubbish. Navy ditto. Their air force is better.

 

Falkland Islands Marine Protection Zone Annoys Argies [ 8 December 2011 ]
QUOTE
British plans for the largest marine protection zone in the world close to the Falkland Islands have been drafted, in a move likely to trigger a backlash from Argentina.
UNQUOTE
Done deliberately? A wind up? Last time Foreign Office policy was to let them have it. That is how they caused the Argentinean invasion.
