A couple of Mysterious Deaths and a Disappearance

"A South Yorkshire police officer who was under investigation in connection with the Rotherham child sexual abuse affair has died after being hit by a car while crossing the road."
PC Hassan Ali, 44, was under investigation by the Independent Police Complaints Commission (IPCC) following allegations he had made advances towards a victim of the abuse, twice asking for a date, according to the Sheffield Star newspaper.

The Casey inquiry was commissioned following the publication last August of another report by social worker Alexis Jay, which said blatant collective failures by the council and police had led to the sexual exploitation of at least 1,400 children in Rotherham over a 12-year period.

Meanwhile, thousands of miles away...
The scandal enmeshing Argentine President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner already had a plot as twisted as a Machiavelli novel.

But this week, it contorted again, when the country's former spy chief disappeared.

Horacio Antonio Stiuso was supposed to testify Thursday about the mysterious death of a special prosecutor, who had leveled scathing accusations at Fernandez.

Authorities have not been able to find the ex-director of the Secretary of Intelligence, let alone notify him that he has been called to testify.
These two cases are not linked but I cant help notice some similarities. People know something about what happened in both instances but...

It is astounding that the same people who hate corporations because they're big and powerful and unfair to the little guy are totally and enthusiastically on board with government-controlled everything. If we have learned anything recently it's that corporations can be made accountable. Governments are only accountable if they want to be. Just look at all the big powerful corporations doing our own government's bidding, on very shaky legal grounds and to our detriment.

Argentina is a beautiful country with beautiful people, but it's political system is a corrupt mob-ruled kleptocracy. As long as strong (wo)men run that place into the ground as their own private piggy bank.

Amartel,

Maybe so, but I'm still holding out hope after the muslim-in-sharia leaves office.
