The U.S. Overthrow of Democracy in Chile - CIA Coups

It can no longer be denied, the declassified CIA & U.S. State Dept. documents acknowledge the US government was deeply involved in 9/11 & purposefully & deliberately helped instigate attacks which left 3,000+ dead.

That is, the first 9/11. The one in Chile.

****************
Early coup attempts:

"On September 15, 1970, in a fifteen-minute meeting between 3:25 and 3:40 P.M., Presidient Richard Nixon ordered the CIA to initiate a massive covert intervention in Chile. The goal: to block Chilean President-elect Salvador Allende from taking and holding office.

Nixon issued explicit instructions to foment a coup that would prevent Allende from being inaugurated on November 4, or subsequently bring down his new administration."

- Peter Kornbluh

(Director of the National Security Archive's Chile Documentation Project)

****************

Economic Sabotage:

"In a special cable to Kissinger,...Richard Helms noted that 'a suddenly disatrous economic situation would be the most logical pretext for a military move,' and that 'the only practical way to create the tense atmosphere in which Frei could muster the courage to act is to see to it that the Chilean economy, precarious enough since the election, takes a drastic turn for the worse.'"

- Peter Kornbluh


"Not a nut or bolt will be allowed to reach Chile under Allende. We shall do all within our power to condemn Chile and the Chilean to utmost deprivation and poverty."

- U.S. Ambassador Korry



"Make the economy scream."

- Richard Helms' handwritten notes in meeting with President Nixon on Chile.



"During the Frei years, Chile had run up almost $1 billion in debt to U.S. banks."

"For years U.S. officials, and their supporters in academia, blamed Allende's socialist programs and nationalization of U.S. businesses for the severe drop-off in bilateral and international financial support for Chile.

But recently declassified NSC records on Chile show conclusively that the Nixon administration moved quickly, quietly and politically to shut down multilateral and bilateral aid to Chile- well before Allende had had any opportunity to implement his own economic policies or any question of Chile's creitworthiness had arisen.

The World Bank, which had provided $31 million in loans to the Frei government in 1969-1970, approved zero loans between 1971 and 1973. Bilateral U.S. assistance, administered through AID, reached $110 million between 1968 and 1970; from 1971 to 1973 that figure dropped to approximately $3 million. The U.S. Export-Import Bank, which provided some $280 million in commercial loans and credits between 1967 and 1970 to Chile, granted not a penny of financing of lending in 1971."

"The mix of economic sabotage, political propaganda and army prodding worked. Allende found himself confronted by growing disorder and soaring inflation. At every turn, his policies encountered well-funded adversaries."

- Peter Kornbluh


****************

"In an August 29, 1972, cable the Station reported on 'efforts by Patria y Libertad and Business Leaders to Provoke a coup.' (During the Track II period, the CIA funneled $38,500 to Patria y Libertad, a self-proclaimed neo-fascist paramilitary group responsible for numerous acts of terrorism between 1970 and 1973."


"By the fall of 1971, the CIA Station was conducting a 'deception operation,' designed to convince the Chilean generals that Allende was secretly plotting with Castro to undermine the army high command, in order to 'arouse the military' to 'move against [allende] if neccessary.'

- Peter Kornbluh

[2236trance85]

I BLAME THE USA AND CIA NIXON THERE ARE THE REAL CRIMINALS WHO WANTS TO TAKE OVER ALL THE OVER THE WORLD AND STEAL OTHER COUNTRY RESOURCES

[crackz123]

@Wraith23 pinochet killed thousands of people, tortured women and children, gave the ressources of chile "back" into US power. and threw the people of chile into starvation and poverty.

allende was thrown out by the USA because he wanted to nationalize the ressources of chile, FOR the people of chile. because the US policy is a corporation-policy which is led by corporations. and these US corporations in chile didnt want to loose any profit. its very simple :)

[MrReco12]

@Wraith23

Hitler did not centralize state health care but actually took it away from many German citizens. Did you read the academic piece i gave you?

The Nazis invented privatization!

[MrReco12]

@Wraith23

Centraliused?

LOL!

The Socialist government of Tito was the most decentralized government in the world.

The Nazi's and indeed the rightists in Chile referred to communism as "Judeo-Bolshevism". HItler supporterd German capitalism of the Krupp and Flicks whole Wholeheartedly!

[NikoFresko]

@Wraith23 Well if i have to say "Terrorist" then you know what i mean, right???? Terrorist like Pinochet & UDI + Nixon.

Chile just defended itself from a gang of marxist psychos????

And what about the whole fuckin millionaires from UDI that never helped the poor people???

Die sind immernoch reich und egoistisch Fick Euch Alle!

@MrReco12

"EVERY COUNTRY IN THE WORLD HAS STATE EDUCATION and Compulsory military."

Not every country forces you to accept state indoctrination or state healthcare........ and for the compulsory military service, did you know that Cuba has compulsory military service?

I suppose you are going to tell me Cuba is a far right country XD

[Wraith23]

@MrReco12

"Universal health care was introduced in Germany before Hitler was BORN! "

Hitler centralized german heathcare under the NAZI regime.

"Besides, all he did was take away health care and education from the Jews. And as your for your point about State education."

On the contrary, he made healthcare and education an important part of the NAZI propaganda machine by making people dependant on the NAZI state.

[Wraith23]

@MrReco12

"A capitalist killer and murderer."

Funny you said that because, for the nazis the jews were the embodiment of "international banking" and "capitalism".
