CIA attacks in Argentina. Who will be the new victim?
By all indications, the investigation to ascertain the causes and circumstances of the death of Alberto Nisman, the Argentine federal prosecutor, is far from complete. His body was found on the tiled floor of the bathroom on the night of 18 on January 19. Under the prosecutor’s right hand lay the gun “Bers” of an 22 caliber. A bullet inlet in the temple indicated possible suicide.
However, this version was hostilely perceived in opposition circles. From there, there were accusations against President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner and Foreign Minister Hector Timerman of involvement in the death of the prosecutor. Nisman was investigating the terrorist attack in the Jewish cultural center of Buenos Aires in 1994, and had to report back to the parliament on the work done. Death overtook him the day before his speech in parliament, and many analysts saw in this reprisal for the purpose of compromising the president of Argentina. As the instigators and organizers of the action most often called the CIA and Mossad.
The media leaked information that in his report Nisman wanted to accuse Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner of concealing the role of Tehran in the attack. The prosecutor based his investigation on data obtained from Antonio Stiuso, who until the end of 2014 had held leading positions in Argentinean intelligence (SIDE) and had close contact with the residents of the CIA and MOSSAD. In particular, Stiuso received telephone conversations through these special services, which indirectly indicated that the Argentine government was in talks with Tehran on the supply of grain in exchange for Iranian oil. Without questioning the authenticity of these records made by the NSA, the prosecutor argued that the key condition for the Iranian-Argentine agreement was to be an amnesty for wanted Iranians suspected of the attack. It can be very likely to assume that this hypothetical deal was the “activ” of Argentina’s enemies in the intelligence services of the USA and Israel.
A few weeks before his speech in parliament, Nisman realized that the accusatory part of his report suffers from a lack of serious facts and cannot be used to bring any convincing accusations. The prosecutor again tried to get out of the critical situation with the help of Steuso, but he no longer worked in intelligence and began to avoid contact with Nisman. Steuso understood the reason for the prosecutor’s panic activity, which he had persistently inspired for many years under the dictation of her supervisors at the US Embassy that Christina “leads her secret game with the Iranians” and harms the interests of the country.
Nisman himself felt that clouds were gathering around him. He feared assassinations: Nisman’s phones and computer regularly received messages threatening reprisals and kidnapping of daughters. Therefore, he preferred to use for travel in Buenos Aires and in the country armored vehicle with special communication provided by the US Embassy.
The former wife of prosecutor Sandra Salgado, a judge by profession, was admitted to the place of death of Nisman one of the first. She is convinced that her ex-husband is not suicidal. A week later, referring to an independent examination, which was carried out at her request, Salgado said at a press conference: “Nisman did not commit suicide. It was not an accident. He was killed".
... Prosecutor Nisman, a native of a wealthy Jewish family, was known as a lover of the sweet life; in his electronic archive, investigators unearthed dozens of photos of girls in compromising situations. The image of the fighter against “illegal actions of the authorities to justify Iranian terrorists” created certain popularity for the prosecutor: he was supported by NGOs patronized by the embassies of the United States, Western European countries and Israel, representatives of free professions, activists of social networks, students, and influential Jewish organizations in Argentina. Anti-government sentiment in this environment was fueled by the media belonging to the opposition media holding Klarin. Thousands of demonstrations took place in Buenos Aires and in a number of large cities. People kept placards "I am Nisman", "We are all Nisman", "Retribution for Nisman". From Mayskaya Square near the Presidential Palace, television and radio reports were broadcast live. Well-rehearsed chants sounded against the government: “Let everyone be cleaned,” “End of the Kirchner dictatorship,” and even “Christine is the murderer.”
However, the death of Nisman did not produce on the Argentines the action on which, apparently, the secret operators were counting. Maidana in Argentine did not work. The government made a lot of efforts to explain to the people: the death of Nisman is beneficial only to the enemies of Argentina. Promotions were organized to help put out rebellious passions. So, in Buenos Aires, they put up posters with photos of Nisman surrounded by girls of dubious behavior and signatures: “Are you also Nisman?”

The subversive work of Western intelligence services in Argentina continues, its peak will fall on the period of the election campaign in October. According to the constitution, Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner cannot be nominated for a third presidential term. Serious chances of winning have her successor - the governor of Buenos Aires, Daniel Scioli. His competitor will be Mauricio Macri, the leader of the Republican Proposal center-right party, which calls for Washington’s rapprochement, distancing from the countries of the Bolivarian Commonwealth, against Argentina’s “further slipping” towards China and Russia.
The US embassy in Argentina has intensified, the CIA residency has moved to a more tight schedule. Cristina Fernandez is a strong politician; in Latin America, many presidents of a man can envy her. Therefore, it is possible that its opponents will again try to resort to political assassination as a radical way to destabilize the country. On Internet forums and in social networks there is a discussion about the alleged candidates for liquidation.
Sometimes they call the name Diego Lagomasino, an informatics specialist, who ensured the safety of electronic equipment of Nisman and his team and was with him, if not in friendly relations, then in a fairly close relationship. They had a common bank account in the United States, and it was Lagomasino (allegedly at the request of the prosecutor) who handed him the very “Bersh” of an 22 caliber, which was later found next to the corpse. The versions that it was Lagomasino who did away with the prosecutor (he was the last to visit Nisman at his apartment) are aggressively circulating in the media. Lagomasino knows about the affairs of the prosecutor much more than he showed to the investigators during interrogations. In the environment of Nisman, he was entered through a retired SIDE operative, and there is evidence that this operative and Lagomasino himself are associated with the CIA. If they speak, the investigation into the death of Nisman will become critical for the CIA residency.
Another candidate for liquidation is Antonio Stiuso, a veteran of Argentine intelligence. There were no secrets for him in the country: the agent and electronic information came through various channels, he had compromising materials on leading Argentinean politicians. He was also aware of many CIA and Mossad operations aimed at undermining Christine’s position, and his testimony could cause irreparable damage to the well-established system of espionage and influence that serves the state interests of the United States and Israel.
Many interested people and powerful organizations are interested in making Stiuso forever silent. The former chief of Argentinean intelligence feels a sense of doom, and he has already shared his gloomy forebodings more than once in his inner circle.
