No, that's how they're marketing their efforts in Ecuador, but they're actually taking a page from Colombia's book under Alvaro Uribe, making it easy for the US to operate within the country with the excuse of controlling crime and drugs and whatnot. Colombia had that same approach years ago, strong war against crime, but that lead to a lot of injustice and crime.
Yeah, that Davos stunt is paying off for Milei. Apparently, he was "speaking truth to power" with his speech and his stand against the 2030 agenda, one has to ask: is Milei really against the WEF? Or maybe just with some aspects.
One has to ask, why was this guy invited in the first place? The WEF knew what this guy was about, right?
It seems that Milei was not aware of the audience he was addressing. There are several comments from political analysts who mention that his speech was anachronistic, typical of the cold war. Either that or Milei became a crude copy of Trump and the joke backfired. A joke that was picked up by those who sail under the flag of establishment rebels, such as Elon Musk who sent an X celebrating Milei's speech
To which David Icke responded
And how could he not celebrate. Elon Musk is very happy because Milei has promised him big business in Argentina, with lithium and telecommunications. Musk, like Trump and Milei, are first and foremost businessmen. Musk agrees with Milei that the problem is the State. And Musk already demonstrated this in Mexico when he requested a subsidy to establish a Tesla plant, which the Mexican State refused (Hey Musk, neoliberalism has already happened in Mexico), but in Argentina and with Milei he found a paradise because the state is there not to stand in his way but to finance his enterprises, successful or not.
The socialism of the XXI century is only good if it is applied to entrepreneurship, to big capital, but of course it receives another name "government subsidy", when it is for the people it is leftist, it is not good
Elon Musk became one of the richest guys on the planet because he has benefited from $4.9 billion in government support in the form of grants, tax breaks, investments in factory construction and subsidized loans.

Musk is the proof that the myth of the solitary entrepreneur does not exist, but that there is an entrepreneurial State that finances and decides which sectors are developed, that creates markets for those sectors and lends them money. So what Milei went to Davos to say was an occurrence, a fallacy, the millionaires need the State to give socialism to the people (socialization of the debt mainly) and free market and control for the elite.
Exactly. And in Argentina it happens at the local level as well:

The new mega prisons are fundamentally set up WAY WRONG. They are set up and funded by big brothers military and they are planning more. I'm wondering if from Canada to Argentina are being set up as the new "fun zone" for the PTB, since they thrive in a war environment and the world may soon be pushing them out of the middle east.

The State as a madhouse
The crew members of the Lufthansa airbus which, during the night of January 18, was due to take off from Frankfurt airport for Ezeiza, could not get over their astonishment at the almost hysterical vehemence of that woman with the elongated face and sunken eyes. The fact is that she insisted loudly on delaying the departure, since some of her traveling companions had not yet arrived from Zurich, namely: the translator, the doctor and the bodyguards accompanying Javier Milei on his first official trip as President of the Nation. The truth is that his sister, Karina, was out of her mind.
Milei, who had decided to go to Switzerland on a commercial airline instead of using the Tango 01, remained in his business class seat with his eyes fixed on an undefined point.
What on earth was he thinking, had his intervention at the Davos Forum left a blemish on his self-esteem?
The truth is that it was a unique performance.
There, in a room with half of the seats empty, his voice did not tremble when he accused the world leaders of the political and economic establishment of being co-opted "by a vision that leads to socialism and poverty". But he also asserted that "neo-Marxism controls the world" with the idea of state regulation, social justice, feminism and climate change, among other doctrinal axes that he abhors.
His eyes radiated a strange glow, as if he was enjoying in advance the ovation he would receive.
At the end of his speech, amidst an uncomfortable murmur, the only applause came from the Minister of Foreign Affairs, Diana Mondino; the Minister of Economy, Luis "Toto" Caputo; the Chief of Cabinet, Nicolás Posse; and Karina, in charge of the General Secretariat of the Presidency, who clapped her hands loudly. Then, a heavy silence ensued.
Milei quickly left the stage with bewilderment on his face. Perhaps he wondered where he had gone wrong.
The point is that, from there, he moved on to the triumphalism of the misunderstood, as evidenced by his unbridled activity on X (formerly Twitter), where, until dawn on Thursday, he spewed out a cascade of aggressions, mockery and insults to world leaders who had not appreciated his words.
It was not the first time that he made a fuss on that social network: days before he had already maintained a vibrant controversy with a fake account of Axel Kicillof -even knowing its apocryphal nature- and another one with the actor Hugo Arana, without considering his death three years before.
But let's get back to the scandal on the plane.
Karina's quarrel with the German pilots echoed in the cockpit.
Perhaps they did not know that this woman was "The Boss". And perhaps they were also unaware of the biblical bond that unites her to the leader, who usually explains it eloquently: "Moses was a great leader, but not a disseminator. God sent Aaron to him to communicate. I am to Karina what Aaron is to Moses".
She was still in the aircraft, screaming.
At that moment, the stragglers of the retinue arrived. Just then, she said:
-Now we are going. We are leaving.
Rivers of ink were already flowing on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean about Milei's worrying performance in Davos. And in all those chronicles the same question was underlying: is this guy not in his right mind?
At this point, it is worth going back to December 28 -Saints Innocents' Day-. It was when the President, accompanied by the first line of the Executive Power, appeared on the balcony of the Casa Rosada to greet a non-existent crowd, since there were only a handful of tourists and some pedestrians in the Plaza de Mayo. A great scene of the present, which refers to Hans Christian Andersen's fairy tale, "The Emperor's New Clothes", referring to a garment that - according to what the monarch in question had been led to believe - was invisible to the eyes of the stupid and those incapable of exercising their office. So the king, convinced that he was wearing such a garment, showed himself naked before his subjects, without anyone daring to tell him the truth.
Of course, this time Milei didn't slip into nudity, as he was wearing a leather jacket over a thick blue sweatshirt. The problem was that the temperature was close to 32 degrees C. Had his biological thermostat broken down?
Such an extravagance does not overshadow others, since -for example-, without moving a single muscle in his face, he usually assures that God gave him the sacred mission of being president, in addition to maintaining, in direct communication with the Beyond, a fluid dialogue with his deceased dog Conan, whom he cloned to conceive his current "four-legged children".
Incidentally, he did not hesitate to call upon the services of veterinarian Daniel Salamone; his specialty: cloning cows. Well, this sort of "Doctor Frankenstein" is now the head of the National Council for Scientific and Technical Research (Conicet).
Thus, he joined the governing cast. A troupe made up of outsiders of all sorts: economists who dream of privatizing the sea, worshippers of the last dictatorship, Nazis devoted to ultra-liberalism, former officials with a shady past, influencers and simple opportunists, among whom stand out little characters such as Lilia Lemoine and Ramiro Marra.
All of them -without hiding their dysfunctions and preaching the "suffering" that the "people" will have to undergo as a divine punishment before reaching happiness- will be the "change" that 56% of the electorate voted for. A dystopian nightmare that, for going beyond the strictly political limit, would deserve to be studied from the field of psychiatric sociology. And given the particularities of its scenario, it is not improbable that historians of the future will call this stage that of the "State-asylum".
Argentine President Javier Milei faced on Wednesday the first general strike in only 45 days of government, against his draconian fiscal adjustment and his plan to reform more than a thousand laws to give himself all the power
Now he is once again resorting to controversy to divert the attention of the Argentines... circus, somerset and theater.

Milei calls Petro a "murderous communist" and Colombia recalls its ambassador to Argentina for consultations
Javier Milei has not bitten his tongue to qualify his counterpart Gustavo Petro. "He is a murderous communist who is sinking Colombia", he answered without hesitation to the Colombian journalist Ángela Patricia Janiot in an interview that has spread like wildfire this Friday on social networks and has caused Colombia to immediately recall its ambassador in Buenos Aires for consultations.
"Those who attack us have no idea what communism is or what socialism is," Petro said this Friday during an event in the Pacific region, where he overturned his government this week, without mentioning Milei by name. "We believe and want the means of production to be in the hands of the people, not the state," he said in a didactic tone in reference to a discussion about the port of Buenaventura.
"On behalf of the Government of Colombia, I present my most energetic protest for the disrespectful and irresponsible statements of the President of the Republic of Argentina," reacted earlier the Colombian Foreign Minister, Alvaro Leyva, who broke with that message his silence after being suspended this week by the Attorney General's Office. "President Milei's words disregard and violate the deep ties of friendship, understanding and cooperation that have historically united Colombia and Argentina, and that have been strengthened over two centuries," the Foreign Ministry said in an official statement.
Milei has been somewhat more pragmatic as President than during his campaign, but even so, he has been focused on getting Argentina "back to the world" seeking to prioritize the relationship with the United States, where the Biden Administration looks at him with distrust due to his admiration for former President Donald Trump, and with Israel, which is facing a delicate moment in the eyes of the world due to its offensive in the Gaza Strip -Petro, by contrast, has been a standard bearer of the Palestinian cause-. Its clearest step was to erase a work of the previous government and renounce to join the BRICS, the economic alliance led by Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa, even though it was an open door to the international financing that Argentina in crisis needs so much.

Context: As the money from the federal co-participation
(Federal co-participation of taxes is a system of tax collection and distribution of the proceeds among the Argentine national State, the provinces and the Autonomous City of Buenos Aires, which acquired constitutional rank in 1994, although since then it has not been possible to reach a consensus on the law mandated by the Constitution).
subject to the whim of milei, and in addition to the unstoppable inflation, the provinces resort to the legal mechanism of creating their own currencies.
The government intends to avoid this, which violates the autonomy of the provinces.
If this continues, sooner or later it will provoke a situation of division among the provinces. In other words, it would trigger a civil conflict.
Which, by different methods, is similar to the likely outcome of the events in Texas... In both cases there is an idea of armed civil conflict...

In this case the problem with Milei is not that he does not tell the truth, but how he tells it. Well, Milei thinks he has enough moral quality because he does not have the dark past, communist, criminal, and political parasite that Petro has. He, Petro, in turn disqualifies him as an ignorant, ill-informed, ultra-right-wing, quasi-Nazi. The tone of the statements that are heard no longer comes from the emotional mass woke, BLM, etc. nor from their antagonists, it comes from presidents of nations that represent millions of people-souls. Presidents who are elected because they are supposed to be educated people with manners and prepared to be "dispassionate" and hopefully with some moral but what we see are ignorant, exaggerated and crass people who lack the vocabulary to express themselves or dont use diplomatic ways such as "self- help", on the contrary they attack by exposing their "trapos al sol", something like digging into the shameful failures to make populist, shady, incompetent, convenient and demagogic politics to impose their conditions.
So since Milei was not a "politic", welcome to the club.
The "politic twitt" issue itself does not seem to be of interest because it carries with it the polemic of the event and to a certain extent it is convenient to the extent that these hierarchies are disclosed as they are and the public opinion is aware of it, that is, those who can see it. The problem is the divisive, petty thinking and the emotional charge of manipulation that spreads as replication in the masses along with a mental degeneration that we have already talked about in the forum. So hopefully for us let's hope that the fish dies by its own mouth.

To be fair, the new Colombian leader is a total disaster (the prior one was also a disaster - just a minor disaster comparatively :)). Milei might do a lot of stupid things (like supporting genocide in Gaza or traveling to the WEF meeting when he is trying to present himself as a man of the people - LMAO ) but I cannot fault him for going after Colombia's new government.Argentine President Javier Milei faced on Wednesday the first general strike in only 45 days of government, against his draconian fiscal adjustment and his plan to reform more than a thousand laws to give himself all the power

My friend who has lived there nearly a decade is looking to get out primarily because these bozos came to power. He told me the new government is literally locking people up for just criticizing the new tyrants which would be in line with what a "murderous communist" would do. He told me when he moved there that he did not think he could ever pry his wife from there because the weather was so perfect. Now even she apparently agrees it is time to leave - even potentially going back to Argentina of all places (good luck with that...) where she is originally from.

This would not shock me at all. You have the Porteños in Buenos Aires versus much of the rest of the country that voted for Milei DESPERATE for some sort of change from the last 20 years of economic suicide through government incompetence from both the left and the right the last time they had their shot. I told people even if Milei knew what he was doing and could make meaningful changes (something I don't believe; and I think some of his actions since the election, like even attending Davos, prove that...), there was no way the establishment or the people who supported it would let it happen. I would not be shocked to see some sort of Civil War or breakup of Argentina in the process any more than to watch it happen in the US. As I told my friend in Colombia thinking of moving to Argentina, I think it is going to completely and totally collapse before this is all over. I just don't see any way this ends well.
What has been happening there has really been a shocking thing to behold. I remember moving to Paraguay in 2012 and speaking to Argentinos that came into Asuncion every 3 months just to withdraw a bunch of US dollars because their own currency was crap. That was when the exchange rate of the Argentinian peso was 1200 to the local currency here. Now I am seeing bids at 3 at local exhanges, and our skyline locally is being built by people fleeing Argentina. I spoke to one business owner 5 years ago who ran a pharmaceutical company in Argentina who was telling me how the government literally made it COMPLETELY IMPOSSIBLE to do business there - driving her to drink, and she was here to look to move her business to Paraguay.
So you can see why Milei was elected. People are pissed, and this was their middle finger to the status quo. Like when the people of Minnesota voted for Jesse Ventura. But you cannot just come in and fix something like this overnight; and attempting to change things too quickly can make things much worse, particularly given people have become largely dependent on a corrupt system. It will probably take a decade at least in the best scenario to work out all the negative externalities that have accumulated through the government incompetence of the last 20 years. The societal divisions will probably force a complete collapse to make NECESSARY and UNAVOIDABLE changes.
But the really ironic thing, despite all of Argentina's problems, on paper it is more solvent than the USA!!! It really helps to have the US reserve currency versus being blacklisted by the banksters in NYC.
Milei's privatization plan moves forward among deputies
While the security forces mounted another operation repressing demonstrators in the National Congress square for the second day, the Chamber of Deputies approved with 144 votes in favor and 109 against the so-called Omnibus law, with a good part of the articles reformed or suspended, counting on the support of the friendly opposition, in the midst of suspicious negotiations and evident extortions.
Thus, a half victory was achieved, because next Tuesday the articles will be debated again one by one to approve, modify or annul them. However, if the cession of legislative powers to the ultra-right-wing president Javier Milei is endorsed, this will be considered a soft coup d'état, since everything debated can be erased with decrees.
This legislative scenario happened while the federal police and other forces carried out another fierce repression against a march of social organizations, retirees, assembly members and other citizens who were peacefully demonstrating against this law, and also against the repression that the day before yesterday left regrettable consequences.
The indignation grew from the subjugation ordered by the Minister of Security, Patricia Bullrich, who used the Anti-Picketing Protocol, declared illegal by the United Nations and which violates all international instances, since it prohibits the recognized right of the people to freedom of expression and to demonstrate in the streets.
The atmosphere is increasingly complex, prolonging the uncertainty, to which are added the multiple rejections of an important sector of society, which also point to the oppressive and increasingly violent scheme afteqr the brutal police response the day before yesterday, in which more than two hundred were injured, both by rubber bullets and by pepper gas, which now has a chemical that produces burns on the skin and infections.
