Washington Works To Overthrow Argentine Government

We must start to work on a project to reform the Argentine intelligence system, in order to clear up a system that has not served national interests , President Kirchner has declared about the reforms. [12] Kirchner has revealed that the SI was working to undermine her government and to annul the agreement that Argentina had made with Iran. The Buenos Aires Herald has written that President Kirchner has asserted that from the moment the Memorandum of Understanding with Iran over the AMIA bombings in 1994 was signed, 'you could see that the agreement was being bombarded from the [Secretariate of Intelligence].

AMIA is a Pretext and Argentina is a Front in a Global Multi-Spectrum War

The AMIA case has been politicized on two fronts. One front is a domestic struggle and the other is in the realm of international relations. A group of Argentinean oligarchs are using the AMIA case to regain control over the country, while the US is using the AMIA case as another tool -- like the vulture funds case against Argentina -- to put pressure on the Argentine government and interfere in Argentina's internal affairs.

Opinions are being galvanized inside Argentina as the lines are being hardened. Alberto Nisman's death is being used by the Argentine government's political opponents to demonize it. The opposition is even referring to Nisman as a martyr in a fight for democracy and liberty in a country allegedly run by an increasingly authoritarian regime.

The political jockeying in Argentina over the AMIA attack and its investigation reflects something much bigger. Iran is not the only target in the polarization of the AMIA case. Nor is the case really about seeking justice for the victims of the AMIA bombing. China, Russia, Cuba, Brazil, Venezuela, Ecuador, Bolivia, and a series of different independent countries are also targets in what is really a global struggle between the US and a coalition of independent states that are resisting US influence.

The ultimate objectives of the US are to regain its lost influence in Argentina and redirect Argentinean trade relations and control its foreign policy. This includes ending the measures Buenos Aires has started taking to regain control of the Malvinas (Falklands) from the British, which is situated in an energy-rich area in the South Atlantic.

In addition to a resource war that includes energy reserves, the multi-spectrum war being waged by the US against its rivals has been preparing for an agricultural assault that will result in destabilizing food prices and even creating starvation. Aside from its untapped oil and natural gas reserves, Argentina is a major agricultural power. Controlling Buenos Aires would be useful to the US.
