1/ Ben Shapiro, one of the architects of ultra-conservative thought in the US, claims that if the Democrats win, his destination will be Buenos Aires. Why would a figure with his track record and global connections choose this particular corner of the south?
2/ It is not a move, it is a signal. Shapiro is not looking for ‘a nice place to live’; he is looking for an environment where his extreme market ideology and his messianic vision of the world have free rein. Argentina, under the current government’s experiment, appears to be the perfect laboratory.
3/ The Milei administration’s devotion to the Washington-Tel Aviv axis aligns perfectly with the agenda Shapiro champions in The Daily Wire. For him, Buenos Aires is not the end of the world; it is the new battleground in a global cultural war. And the obvious question is: is this in the interests of Argentina and its democracy?
4/ Suspicion of the ‘Rearguard’ is simmering. At a time of geopolitical crisis, the fact that figures with access to the corridors of power within the Zionist lobby and the Republican right are looking south sets alarm bells ringing.
Are they coming to integrate or to fortify an enclave of regional influence?
5/ Is this a matter of sovereignty or cultural colonisation? Shapiro’s arrival would lend credence to the idea that Argentina has become the ideological aircraft carrier of a specific US faction. An enclave where policies that cannot be implemented there due to democratic constraints are enforced here without hesitation.
6/ The government’s information blackout, achieved by expelling journalists, and the fact that this coincides with a man of immense power who was a visitor yesterday and has become a tenant today, fuels the thesis of chaos theorists.
The theory that warns that when certain figures look towards your home, it is not to visit you, but because something in your structure is useful to them. And Shapiro in Buenos Aires is not just another neighbour. Perhaps it is a symptom of an Argentina that has ceased to belong to itself to become the ‘safe space’ of transnational Zionism.
