Did Adolf Hitler escape alive from his Berlin bunker and fake his death?


From fresh evidence unearthed, there are doubts that Adolf Hitler might have escaped alive from his Berlin bunker and flew out to a secure military compound in Argentina. He hoped to create the Fourth Reich with his band of Nazi supporters. This has been revealed in the latest Hunting Hitler series, which is scheduled to be aired on The History Channel this month.
The investigation was carried out by a team of a former CIA operative and a US special forces sergeant who was involved in the capture of al-Qaeda leaders Osama bin Laden and Abu al-Zarqawi. They investigated whether the Fuhrer had indeed escaped to a new life in South America.
This has been reported in nzherald.co.nz dated 16 January 2017.
The team went through 14,000 declassified documents and came up with a new version of the incident about the assumption that the Fuhrer had committed suicide alongside his wife, Eva Braun, on April 30, 1945.
One of the documents from British Intelligence claims that Hitler was flown out of the German capital by a Luftwaffe pilot the day before he purportedly took his own life. In support of this theory, there was also evidence that there was a fifth exit from the bunker and it led to an area which was large enough for a makeshift runway.
Another document is about an SS officer who has claimed to have seen Hitler in Denmark, shortly before changing planes to his final destination.
And, in Argentina, there is evidence of a military-style compound where Hitler may have stayed after his arrival to carry out his plans for a Fourth Reich in the South American country. Tens of thousands of Nazis had arrived in Argentina after the end of World War II. There is also evidence that a Nazi physicist was working at a nuclear facility in Argentina to test explosive devices. But, the Nazi communities in Argentina does not want to talk about the subject.

79-year-old Pedro Luca has been living in a cave in north Argentina for 40 years


Pedro Luca is 79-years old and has been living in a cave in northern Argentina for the last 40 years. He has adjusted to a world of no running water or electricity and his cavern is located high in a mountain in northern Tucuman province. When hungry, he picks up his rifle and goes hunting or heads on a three-hour trek down the mountain to the nearest settlement of San Pedro de Colalao. A nearby creek is his main source of water - it has the purest, richest water possible.
This has been reported in foxnews.com dated 31 July 2016.
For company he has eleven roosters and two goats that roam the mountainside during the day and return to the cave at night looking for shelter from pumas and other predators. The crows of the roosters wake him up at around 3 a.m. every morning and he starts his day by lighting a fire.
Luca is a sort of legend in San Pedro de Colalao, and the locals often give him food and supplies. He buys candles, yeast and corn with a government old-age pension which is worth about $100-$200. He collects it from the town's post office. His only technological gadget is a small, battery-powered radio. However, he has difficulties to tune it because the signal is weak up the mountain.
He walks three hours every day, climbing the steep mountainside to reach his cave. His skin is weather-beaten and he still has few teeth left and gets an occasional visitor in the form of tourists and schoolchildren.

Deposits of oil and gas discovered in the Falklands


#falkland #argentina #CristinaFernandez #oilandgas #LasMalvinas Deposits of oil and gas have been discovered at a well off the Falkland Islands by two British companies – the discoveries have been made after a nine-month drilling campaign. This has been revealed in news.sky.com dated 2 April 2015.
The two British companies are Premier Oil Plc and Falkland Oil and Gas Ltd and, as per their statements, the find at the Zebedee well was better than expected. At the well, they have found 24.6 metres of net-oil bearing reservoir and 16.7 metres of net gas-bearing reservoir. Given the state of instability on the Middle East which is home to most of the oil producing nations, it would be prudent for other countries to try and become self reliant in oil.
This well was the first of six wells which constitute the Sea Lion drilling campaign that had started in March by Rockhopper and the two companies.
This well will now be plugged and abandoned as a successful exploration well and the drilling rig will be moved to the Isobel Deep well in the southern part of the North Falkland Basin. The results from the second well would be known by the end of April.
The discovery of oil and gas could lead to heightened tensions between the UK and Argentina over the sovereignty of the Falkland Islands, known as Las Malvinas in South America. Cristina Fernandez, the President of Argentina would be addressing a ceremony to mark the 33rd anniversary of the invasion of the Falkland Islands.
It may be recalled that the Falklands War between Argentina and Britain had ended on 14 June 1982 and the number of casualties were 255 British service personnel and 649 Argentine military personnel. Moreover, three people living on the islands were also killed.

Midair chopper collision kills 10 during filming of TV reality TV ‘Dropped’ in Argentina


#tvrealityshow #larioja #helicopters #argentina #eurocopter It was a tragedy of no mean proportions when 10 people were killed in a midair collision of two helicopters in north Argentina while filming a TV reality show as reported in news.sky.com dated 10 March 2015.
Among the dead were two French Olympians. They were Camille Muffat, who won an Olympic gold medal in swimming at the London 2012 games, Olympic boxer Alexis Vastine and champion sailor Florence Arthaud. They were engaged in filming for the series "Dropped" near Villa Castelli in La Rioja province.
This show involves eight sports stars who were being dropped into inhospitable environments.
57-year-old Florence Arthaud was considered one of the best sailors in the world and had won the 1990 Route du Rhum. 25-year-old Camille Muffat had won gold in the 400-metre freestyle in 2012 along with two other medals. 28-year-old Alexis Vastine had won a bronze medal at the Beijing games in 2008 in the light welterweight category.
As per information, they were in two helicopters and were flying over Quebrada El Yeso and Quebrada Condado in the mountainous region when the accident took place.
One of the helicopters was from La Rioja and it was a Eurocopter with a capacity to hold six people. It seems a cast and crew of around 80 people were in the area to film the series for which shooting had begun in February in Ushuaia, at the southern tip of Argentina. Subsequently, it shifted base to La Rioja.
The deaths have been confirmed by police officials – the dead include eight French nationals and their two Argentine pilots. The government of La Rioja has confirmed the identities of the three athletes.

Beauty contests in Chivilcoy banned because these contests attract violence


#Chivilcoy #beautycontests #argentina The town of Chivilcoy, in the Buenos Aires region of Argentina has become the first in the country to ban beauty queen competitions. In the opinion of the town council of Chivilcoy, these beauty contests were sexist in nature and encouraged violence against women. Moreover, such competitions gave encouragement an obsession with physical beauty and brought about illnesses like bulimia and anorexia.
In Latin America the beauty pageant often serves as a springboard for a career in television or entertainment and several television personalities of Latin America have won major beauty competitions and along with it, have earned celebrity status apart from lucrative careers.
The decision of the council is that henceforth the festivities in Chivilcoy would be celebrated by recognizing the achievements of young people and the beauty contests would be replaced with carnival mask competitions and prizes for volunteering.
It seems a debate is raging in Argentina for a long time about the validity of beauty competitions. Mariano Anton of Argentina's anti-discrimination watchdog, the National Institute against Discrimination and Xenophobia, has demanded that beauty competitions in schools be scrapped in order to prevent attacks on participants. In his opinion, there have been many instances of violence against young participants in various provinces – the main reason was their beauty and because "they were too beautiful".
