– #Mate.matics || Crime and Justice | Fraud and Corruption | & some Final Issues || 5 –
El que mucho abarca, poco aprieta.
Dear Mr Milei, Honourable President of Argentina,
How about recollecting a couple of recent +++ World News +++ while joining the author’s Jumpin‘ Jacks on sharing this very final feature?
Great!
+++ Milei, Jets Cheaper By The Dozen, National Strikes Free Of Charge And Controversial (Hair) Cuts[1] +++ Kasparov And Hodges Trash Ukraine Strategy[2] +++ Nikki Hails Donald’s Balls and Ben’s Bombs On Gaza[3] +++
Upfront, this publishing ‘s wrapping up The Talks Over A Cup of Mate Series for various obvious reasons as follows.
+++ IcedID, SystemBC, Bumblebee, Smokeloader, Pikabot and Trickbot On Stage In Europe[4] +++ AfD’s Intercourse With Putin[5] +++ Putin Prepping For (World) War?[6] +++
Either primarily ... secondarily or at least marginally, those subject matters of interest announced in the very first issue – to be elaborated on in the following – ‘ve been sufficiently dealt with more or less already.
+++ Germany‘s Greens Dirt Cheap?[7] +++ German Blockheads And French Visionaries At Odds Over Ukraine Aid[8] Elections In India, South Africa And Mexico[9] +++ Sheinbaum En Vogue in Mexico, Shootings Of More Than Ten Little Injuns [10] +++
In fact, the author ‘s not planning on affording any further interest in/patience at recording Argentina's Treadmill of a never-ending story of ups n downs n turns, the Master Blaster of Desaster ‘s been imposing on His Country, ie. more than Half of the Population of fellow Citizens.
+++ We Don’t Think So, Mr Jones[11] +++ Europe On Drugs[12] +++ Biden’s And Trump’s Presidential Death Match[13] +++
Well, He might be experiencing a(n) (un)naturally pre-shortened Term in Office, sooner of later.
+++ US Supreme Court Going Soft On Capital Attackers[14] +++ Gaza: Death By Starvation[15] +++ Strange Things Happening In Iran?[16] +++
Any idea why?
Sadly enough, the Death Toll during the Presidential Elections in Mexico merely reflected on Everyday Life and Living in the Latin American Hemisphere: Struggle for Survival, Exploitation and Poverty; Corruption and Crime; Parallel Universes of Econo-Financial Bigwigs and Gang Bosses; eerie Politics and Pseudo-Economics; strange Hybrids of historical Consciousness, political long-term Memory Loss and daily Crack Ups (does that make sense?!); Arts N Sports free of charge 24/7/365.
Now, what are the unresolved Issues of Argentina’s against the backdop of Latin America‘s? – Well, please check the footnotes for further information on paradoxical phenomena rendering support at formulating (Anti-)Theses and Resolutions!
Más vale tarde que nunca.
