Now THIS could get real interesting today. Several weks ago, the American embassy in Buenos Aires started putting out the word to Americans through online forums to prepare to think about getting ready to bug-out. Just a high falutin way to say something is gonna come down, but we dont know what, where or when.

Worldcue® Alert Severity: Warning Alert Security: UPDATE 1: Airline workers in Argentina to join 24-hour general strike April 10. Flight cancelations likely. Expect roadblocks, transport disruptions. This alert affects Argentina This alert began 08 Apr 2014 19:26 GMT and is scheduled to expire 11 Apr 2014 10:00 GMT. Updated Information The Aviation Technicians Association (APTA) of Argentina has recently confirmed that unionized workers employed at major Argentinean airlines will join the nationwide 24-hour general strike on April 10. Unionized workers for Aerolineas Argentinas (AR), Andes Lineas Aereas (OY), Austral Lineas Aereas (AU), LAN Argentina (4M), and Sol (8R) will take part in the labor action. The participation of APTA members will likely cause significant flight disruptions on April 10. Two of the countrys largest union federations, the Central Workers Union (CTA) and the General Labor Confederation (CGT), are leading the strike. Several leftist political parties and groups plan to erect roadblocks in key intersections across the country starting early April 10. The most significant demonstrations will occur in Buenos Aires (see map in Resources below). The strike is aimed at airing a variety of grievances, most of which are linked to the countrys high inflation rate and precarious economic situation.
