I’ve got to admit that reading this headline really was very scary for me. I’m aware that South America was the chosen destination for many high profile and probably not so high profile Nazi war criminals at the end of World War Two. Along with the activities and history of the conquistadors in the then Americas in the 16th century where slavery and land acquisition was taken as a right by adventurers and explorers.

And here we are in Modern Day Argentina with a Country whose political structure is now geared to promoting itself as a “white European Country”.

Apparently in 1853, with the formation of the Argentinian State Juan Bautista Alberdi, who was the main architect of the Constitution incorporated into article 25 with his proviso “that to govern is to populate” and to encourage the State to promote European Immigration.

So no wonder the Argentinian Government aligned itself with the United States, Israel and voted against a United Nations General Assembly resolution recognizing the transatlantic slave trade and chattel slavery as the gravest crime against humanity and calling for reparations. Argentina certainly aligned itself with some strange bedfellows.

The implications now are that various Institutions within Argentina which were promoting indigenous people’s rights have been eroded and no longer exist having lost Government funding. The new President Javier Milei is promoting the libetarian defence of historical hierarchies and is determined to encourage the “Whiteness and Westness” of Argentinia.

It’s a lesson to me that if you don’t pay attention to what is happening, that the rug can so easily be taken out from under your feet.

I think Argentina needs to review it’s constitution urgently.

Seems Tanzania, the second biggest economy in East Africa has fallen out with the EU and the United States over the results of a disputed election.

They have turned to Russia for investment having attended for the first time the St Petersburg International Economic Forum where the discussions started. Tanzanian officials insist they do not want to break ties with the West, however in the real World why should they not talk to the Russians, isn’t there money as good as anyone else’s?

Thanks to Grace Eliza Goodwin and BBC Online News for the Headline.

To be honest, my internet feed had bombarded me with three stories about UK Council’s plans to clamp down on ‘Shed Bakeries” where someone sets up a business selling their home baked cakes in a shed at the front of their house. Where cakes are sold basically on an honesty box basis. Council’s are looking into whether these businesses should be required to have a street trader’s licence. Frankly I find these “sheds” an eyesore and also a potential health risk,not to mention we eat too much sweet stuff anyway.

And then Mr Hegseth came along, and I’m afraid he topped the Headline Therapy Chart for today. There was a video attached to the article , it was 42 seconds, so I thought why not? Hesgeth came across as if he didn’t believe what he was saying either. Which would have been funny if it hadn’t affected for me the solemnity of the D-Day event.

His speech writer made the point of criticising European Capitals and suggesting that Beaches in Spain, Italy , Greece and Belgium were being inundated by foreigners expecting an easy life and everything for free. So the American’s don’t like the “all inclusive holidays” either.

The point of the speech was somehow to say that Europe was not addressing the illegal entry to Europe by sea, of people (Hesgeth said Men as the rest don’t count) , men , women and children, many traumatised , in some cases leaving war zones and in the best case scenario “economic migrants” from Africa and the Middle East.

The BBC highlighted a pattern with JD Vance, commenting on a recent Court Case in the UK and trying to stir racial hatred by citing it as an example of migrant violence, which it was not.

I say pattern, as I probably would not have noticed it but for Hesgeth ( The United States Secretary of War) and JD Vance (The Vice President of the United States) are both singing loudly from the same hymn sheet. Following President Trump’s comments saying that Europe was heading towards “civilisational erasure” , whatever that is.

It strikes me that this is all very embarrassing behaviour from America’s representatives. The humanitarian angle of the loss of lives in war and the human cost of wars and all forms of intolerance is far too great to have these “representatives ” mouthing off their ignorance , particularly using an event , such as D-Day to espouse ideas which are not far from what the men and women in World War Two were fighting against. Hesgeth’s words were dishonourable and shameful in this context.

Yes I’m afraid Mr Hesgeth you topped the #HeadlineTherapy Charts for all the wrong reasons.
