It's no longer a secret that Macri will impose a harsh new round of austerity once the October mid-term elections are out of the way.

There is a growing sense in Argentina that, by the same token, he'll become more authoritarian in cracking down on the protests and strikes that will surely follow - and that some form of an Isabel Perón-style state of emergency decree may follow.

His sudden interest in returning Argentine forces to dictatorship training schools like SOA/WHINSEC/ILEA - plus his unauthorized attempt to purchase $2.5 billion in war theater weaponry - adds real fuel to these suspicions.

Thanks again!
