No. Fernando Cerimedo, Javier Milei’s digital strategist, boasts an enviable curr Yo culum vitae ( CV): He received a scholarship to study at Harvard for an undergraduate degree and then a postgraduate degree in political consulting, received military training with the Navy Seals (the special force of the United States Navy), and a position in the White House under the government of Barack Obama.
Two. Amazingright? Indeed. Only that the referred CV It is false. Because in real-life, Cerimedo (43 years old) was a taxi driver, a plastics factory worker, a high school teacher and, in Mar del Plata, his hometown, he was sentenced to two years in prison for selling the same apartment twice (2016).
Three. Although, let’s be fair, not even Harvard guarantees that its graduates earn between 50 and 100 thousand dollars a month. This is the amount that Cerimedo charges to the clients of his political consultancy (Numen), located in the exclusive neighborhood of Puerto Madero (300 meters from Casa Rosada), inhabited by top executive directors of Argentine and foreign corporations.
Four. Director of the libertarian portal Diario.arCerimedo boasts of having 50 thousand bots on Twitter (today X), and a valuable farm
trolls created by artificial intelligence. Thus, during the covid pandemic (2019/23), he managed to make hundreds of thousands of Argentines believe that vaccines had graphene (a banned substance). Or that the failed assassination of Vice President Cristina Fernández de Kirchner (1/9/22), was a self-attack
.
Five. In Javier Milei’s electoral financing, no other person or company put in more white money than Cerimedo ($10 million). Money that, possibly, came from the coffers of the Brazilian Jair Bolsonaro, a great friend of the Argentine president.
Six. A strategic henchman of Cerimedo is Juan Pablo Carreira, current national director of digital communication for the presidency, and a Twitter user known for his defense of Milei under the pseudonym John Doe. And along with them, the genetic doctor Daniel Parisini (known on antisocial networks as @GordoDan).
Seven. Following the recent military coup attempt against Bolivian President Luis Arce, @GordoDan posted: Never give an inch to left-handers. Never send strong repudiations for anything. Never show solidarity with anything that happens to them. And if something happens to them, seriously, it’s better
. Finally, from his home in Madrid (Spain), the former philosophy student at the University of Buenos Aires Federico Gorga, who defines himself as a psychopath
(sic), who only wants burst and destroy people
(sic) and act accordingly political police for the ruling party
(sic).
Eight. Finally, the deputy from Buenos Aires, Agustín Romo (28 years old, 50 thousand followers), who gained popularity by insulting other social media users. I am a nationalist who does not confuse love for the homeland with love for the State.
brays Romo. Adding: “There is no need to invest money. There is no need to impose anything. Where there is wifi “The lion” (Milei) will arrive.” If a thousand people tweet red pencil
in half an hour we make it a trend. It is cheaper to install something on Twitter and have it picked up by the TV in the afternoon, let a journalist talk about what you want.”
Nine. Undeniable, the power of the influencers neo-fascists within the Argentine State. And all of them, authorized by Milei, her sister Karina and the ghost advisor
Santiago Caputo (38 years old), to whom the satrap conferred the title of architect of all this
in his speech as president-elect.
Ten. Nephew of the Minister of Economy, Luis Caputo (The Messi of finances
according to Milei), and Nicky Caputo (suspected of having financed the attack against Cristina and soul mate
–sic– of Mauricio Macri), Santiago was trained as a disciple of the Ecuadorian consultant Jaime Durán Barba, champion of the amorality and cynicism that permeate politics throughout Latin America.
Eleven. From Cerimedo, There is no such thing as bad publicity. It doesn’t matter if it’s praise or criticism. The important thing is that people talk about you. The idea is that the truth is just a hindrance to the great stories.
. Although he forgot to say: and to make money.
