…Cuando finalicé la primera parte, expresando: “Tener casos judicialmente “arreglados” como el de los hermanos Rohm…”, usted seguramente no supo de qué estoy hablando. Es lógico que así sea, son tantos los hechos de argentinos vivos que impunemente con un simple “Abracadabra” se quedan con los ahorros de los argentinos zonzos que viven de su trabajo, que es imposible tener memoria para todos ellos. No solo se quedan con nuestros ahorros, por ejemplo también se quedan con la vida de 44 tripulantes de un Ara San Juan, que salen a navegar en un vetusto submarino, porque falta el dinero para otros más modernos y mejor preservados. Con la vida de 51 pasajeros de un tren sin mantenimiento y sin frenos en la estación de Once. Con buenos hospitales, con buenas rutas, con buena seguridad, con buenas escuelas y maestros bien pagos. La lista es infinita, para resumir digamos, que se quedan con todo porque fueron por todo.
En este caso, brevemente hago referencia a una causa que fue impulsada a principios de los años 2000 por las diputadas ELISA CARRIÓ, GRACIELA OCAÑA y MARCELA RODRÍGUEZ, quienes denunciaron al BGN (Banco General de Negocios) como el banco que más dinero de la corrupción lavó en la Argentina. En el 2002 por disposición de la jueza MARIA ROMILDA SERVINI de CUBRÍA (de la que dicen: “Donde pone el ojo, pone la bala”), fue detenido y procesado CARLOS ALBERTO ROHM quien se desempeñaba al frente de dicha entidad bancaria. Su hermano JOSE (a) PUCHI, ex titular, se fugó, nunca fue detenido y consiguió quedarse en Estados Unidos hasta que le dieron la eximición de prisión. En abril de 2014, falleció a los 69 años de edad y sus restos reposan en el cementerio de la Recoleta, entre próceres y notables argentinos. Estos hermanos fueron acusados por “administración fraudulenta” al haber incurrido en la “captación clandestina, desvío al exterior y apropiación de fondos; desvío de depósitos de ahorristas; asistencia irregular a empresas vinculadas; apropiación de títulos valores y acciones del ex Banco Comercial del Uruguay“. Carlos estuvo preso nada más que 3 años y 2 meses, desde enero de 2002, cuando intentaba salir en avión rumbo a Europa, hasta marzo de 2005 cuando recuperara su libertad.

Los Rohm aparte de hacer “magia” con 250 MILLONES DE DÓLARES, también quedaron involucrados en la causa del mega canje, la operatoria lanzada durante el gobierno de la Alianza para paliar la crisis económica pero que por el contrario incrementó la deuda externa, en cerca de 55.000 MILLONES DE DÓLARES y benefició a un grupo de “selectos” bancos. Anteriormente en mayo de 1997, Carlos había sido procesado como presunto encubridor de la millonaria coima que habría pagado IBM para la informatización del Banco Nación, mientras que José Rohm estuvo imputado en el caso IBM-DGI pero se le dictó la falta de mérito.
REPETIMOS OTRA VEZ EL CUENTITO
Fue transcurriendo el tiempo Y COMO SIEMPRE, SIN MAYOR TRASCENDENCIA, en octubre del corriente año, la causa iniciada por la denuncia de las tres diputadas, prescribió (Abracadabra). Lo resolvió la Sala Uno del Tribunal de Casación, con las firmas de los jueces MARIANO BORINSKY, ANA MARIA FIGUEROA y GUSTAVO HORNOS, en disidencia.
Así podemos ver togados que son sanguinarios leones, comedores de grandes mamíferos, cuando resuelven como se les canta la gana sobre nosotros adultos mayores ilegalmente detenidos, transformarse en juguetones y dulces gatitos.

Buenos Aires, 15 de julio de 2002. Y VISTOS: Y CONSIDERANDO:
Al ratificar la denuncia, la Diputada Maria Graciela Ocaña agregó en declaración testimonial que “…durante los últimos noventa días se fugaron más de diecisiete mil millones de dólares, en abierta violación a las prohibiciones vigentes y que se trataría de un escalón más de las maniobras que en esa dirección se vienen llevando a cabo en el país durante los últimos años” Además aportó un listado de los bancos, a los que alude el informe de la Comisión de Lavado, que serían algunos de aquellos que utilizaron el sistema de banca off shore y sociedades off shore, dentro de los que se encontraría el Banco General de Negocios y su vinculada, el Banco de Santa Fe.

Eso sí, para que funcione “la magia” deben tener en sus manos a un grupo de banqueros o empresarios inescrupulosos, que empobrezcan un país sembrando como consecuencia la muerte por doquier.
¿O a importantes narcotraficantes, quienes son ni más ni menos que los genocidas del presente y del futuro ¿Acaso no lo recuerda a “Rafecas, el humanitario de la Década Ganada”? Por supuesto, como ya dije, todo facilitado por nuestra “sangre de horchata”…Y COLORÍN COLORADO ESTE CUENTO HA TERMINADO.

*Es un dicho español que significa carencia de sentimientos, es decir que tanto el amor como el odio es indiferente a la persona y que le da igual lo malo o lo bueno, que todo les resbala. Significa el no tener agallas y la carencia de valor para enfrentar situaciones difíciles que se presentan. Aclaremos que la horchata es un refresco natural que se toma en verano muy frío y que se extrae del jugo de las Chufas (Cyperus Esculentus) muy popular en Valencia, España y en diversas partes del planeta.

I don’t want everybody to vote. Elections are not won, by the majority of the people…In fact, our leverage in elections, quite candidly, goes up as the voting populous goes down
Richard:The Electoral College was almost abolished in the year 1970 with bipartisan support from both Republicans & Democrats. President Richard Nixon even endorsed the amendment to replace the system with a two round vote system. It looked like 3/4ths of the state were going to ratified the amendment and it did pass in the house unanimously; but was filibustered in the Senate by Southern lawmakers who feared that with a direct election for president than African Americans in the south would count equally to white voters.
Without the electoral college, democratic candidates would be forced to campaign in Texas, where half the population votes democratic, while the Republican candidate would be obligated to campaign in California, where there are millions of Republican voters. Both would need to visit small states, because every vote would count. Let’s ditch the Electoral College.
the founders feared someone like Julius Caesar who endangered the republic despite unanimous popularity. In such a situation they wanted the electoral college to have the power to deny such a person a win by vote. I believe they called it “tyranny of the majority?” Personally, I think it was adequate for the early 1800’s but after that if such a scenario would happen such a decision by the electoral college would likely result in Civil War. Personally, I think the founders’ fears of which was worse, tyranny of the majority or Tyranny of the minority, actually is demonstrated pretty well when you see how the House of Representatives vs the Senate was set up in how they represented voters.
One way to reform the Electoral College, would be rather than a state giving all their electoral votes, they proportionally represent their state, in other words, states would be able to show their voting pattern which is reflected in the Electoral College. Basically, if California for example distributed its 55 electoral votes to reflect the republican supporting counties and the democrat supporting ones. It would (I word it cautiously), in an ideal world probably better reflect the popular vote
That’s how it originally was. But, sometime early in the 1800s Tennessee (as I recall it being that particular state) went to a winner take all for its electorates to shore up its power as a state within the union. James Madison, who is considered a major architect of our Constitution protested it saying that it wasn’t the original intent. But, the Supreme Court ruled in Tennessee’s favor forcing most all the other states to do the same thing in order to insure they had as equal a voice to Tennessee’s in the Federal Government. The biggest obstacle to reforming the Electoral College isn’t so much the politicians in Washington as it is each individual state wanting to keep a sense of power in a Federal Republic. That is a government that is made up of individual autonomous or at least semi-autonomous governments working together. so, proportioning the Electoral votes would be going back to the original intent. After further research, I found that Alexander Hamilton went so far as to try to put in a Constitutional Amendment that would ensure the Electoral College would be determined by district and not by state.
this leads to my (admittedly mediocre) solution: ranked choice voting in winner take all systems. An easy sell for current politicians, and hopefully it breaks up the duopoly by removing wasting votes by third party. Then, candidates just need to be willing to wield their electoral votes to cobble majorities, and the system is at least better, and better able to move further forward
To win a majority of the population, you’d have to win the top 40 cities and their suburbs. And you can’t win them by a simple majority. You have to win them by 100%. There is no city that goes 100% for a candidate let alone suburbs. St. Louis city went 80% for Clinton, but the metropolitan area as a whole went to Trump. Even if you only focused on those 40 metro areas, that covers a wider range geographically than candidates typically do now. You have to keep in mind, there are many metro areas that extend into 2 or even 3 states. I have lived in 2 separate metro areas that extended into 3 states.
2 separate metro areas that extended into 3 states.’ that is something unique to the New England area, with Kansas City being an exemption. This is not something you find in Los Angeles, CA, Chicago, IL, Houston, TX, Phoenix, AZ, San Antonio, TX, San Diego, CA, Dallas, TX, San Jose, CA and that’s just what I feel like posting here. The vast majority of the cities in the top 50 have greater metro areas that are in one and if you notice California, Texas, Florida are in here a lot, you are missing many states. In fact, you can get to get to 51% of the population by only adding up 9 states. Would you call 9/50 a covers a wider range geographically? And by looking for the URL for you I found that by 2040 it will be 8 states, so the problem will only get worse.
metro area or commuter belt, is a region consisting of a densely populated urban core and its less-populated surrounding territories, sharing industry, infrastructure, and housing. This seems way too broad but it agrees with you. This does include suburbs so I am assuming you have never been to the suburbs of Chicago. And because I currently live in one of the metro areas you mentioned I would have to disagree with how homogenous it is, but I have been wrong before, it just seems odd you want in increase representation by allowing candidates to go to fewer places.
I don’t mean to say that metro areas are homogenous themselves, but they are more likely to be closer together in thought than less urban areas or other metros of a state. 5 of the 6 largest counties in the Chicago metro area voted for Clinton for instance. Most suburbanites in the Chicago area vote Democrats, at least for President. This is actually a fairly recent development because they used to go Republican not that long ago. But what the Chicago area thinks has no bearing on what other metros in the state thing. For Illinois, it doesn’t matter that much because the Chicago metro is just a huge percentage of the population. I mainly wanted to touch on Chicago in this comment because you did. But take Florida, again. Metro Jacksonville is red, yet Metro Miami went blue. Houston’s metro area in Texas went Trump while El Paso’s went Clinton. This map is a good way to show how divided states can be.
Besides getting rid of the electoral college, the U.S. also needs to pass a law banning corporate campaign “donations” (i.e. legalized bribes) so that politicians stop serving corporate interests and CEOs and start serving the people who voted for them. That would end the current state of plutocratic, oligarchic corporatocracy, and turn the U.S. into a democracy.
