would be naive not to believe that September 11 the world will remember the Twin Towers before that of Chile. The de las Torres had an audience simultaneously, stunned audiences attending, sharing, live and direct, one of the most powerful in human history. No less powerful was that of Chile, but we had more used. However, no sooner was deployed on terror Pinochet knew that it was again had no history. The same happened with the terror of the Board Argentina.
I do not know if it is reflected on a point (no doubt, yes, but deserves to be offered again to the analysis): the event of Chile's Torres and share not only the date, but much more. The country of the World (the Empire) was the direct cause of Chile in September. Chile had nothing to do with the fall of the Towers. But the U.S. did the Pinochet coup, was invented by Pinochet and Allende assassinated. It was part of the policy had been given to handle things in what they call their "backyard."
Since he became president, Ke-nnedy, who was a furious anti-Communist, said that "during the so-called Cold War period, direct military action would not occur between the two hegemonic blocs. There was in them, too much technique that prevented war. The nuclear terror excessive prudence recommended that the two giants brought jealously. The fighting then took place in other latitudes. It took
to warn that in Latin America, the Communists had taken possession of Cuba, bright task of these bearded men who had seduced and deceived the CIA saying democratic, and that the CIA believed that just came to throw down to the sergeant Fulgencio Batista a bloody unpresentable, who had made Cuba a brothel and a dive for the mob. Supported Fidel's boys, which gave them a huge and terrible surprise: their leader is identified and defined their movement as Marxist-Leninist. Decided to learn the lesson: never again a Castro in Latin America. Because the United States said do not claim ownership of the world as the Soviets, but in fact almost as dominant or that was their goal. With good reason, Professor Chalmers Johnson felt that there was more symmetry between the policies of the Soviet Union and the United States that the Americans wished to acknowledge: "If during the Cold War the Soviet Union by military intervened in East Germany (1953), Hungary (1957) and Czechoslovakia (1968), the United States articulated the coup in Iran (1953), the invasion of Guatemala (1954) and Cuba (1961), occupied militarily in the Dominican Republic (1965) and intervened in Korea (1950) and Vietnam (where they support dictatorships and killed a larger number of people that the Soviet Union in their successful operations) "(Chalmers Johnson cited by Luis Alberto Moniz Flag his remarkable essay: The formation of the American Empire). In a comparison inevitably hateful and nasty, possibly the CIA is and has been a more cruel, more murderous and, above all, more responsible for the arrival of genocidal regimes to power that the Soviet KGB. Middle world or would not say this by the arrogance, the supremacy of the media in the formation of the subjectivity of people. The film, for example (great propaganda tool of the U.S.), has always been a KGB agent as someone more sinister than one of the CIA, which often is the hero of the film. Jack Ryan, without going any further, had the look and charisma of Harrison Ford. Who in the KGB, could compete? But a serious problem appears to the Nixon Administration. In 1970, the socialist Salvador Allende, the candidate Popular Unity wins so indisputable elections in Chile. Although Allende proposes a "peaceful road", or "democratic way" - to socialism, Richard Nixon hates the first day. And since that day the government intends to throw. Here I must mention two formidable documentary I work with these issues and should (I think) be consulted, one is almost an autobiography of Robert McNamara and is titled The Fog of War, the other is a small masterpiece of Christopher Hitchens, Trials Henry Kissinger. In it, Hitchens shows passion to Kissinger happy to let his boss, Nixon, and show what can be done with a country which the United States want. Not even with Chile, Allende has just won it very cleanly "and we respect democracy." Nixon accepted this dogma, but it is clear that in case of coming to impose a dictatorship, a dictatorship is always better than a non-communist community (see: Luis Alberto Moniz Bandeira, The formation of the American Empire, p. 278). Surely companies shared this view they did know about the seriousness of the matter: ITT, Pepsi Cola and the Chase Manhattan Bank. All contacted the president of the CIA, Richard Helms. So did Nixon, at a meeting lightning: he sat down, drank a glass of water, said a few things and left. $ 10 million allocated for the task of destabilizing the "son of a bitch," and he said, SOB, called for immediate action to set aside the ambassador, to the best men in the 48-hour task and impair the economy. From that point would begin work in earnest.
Kissinger had a good concept of Allende's political skill: for all media exhibit that was not a Soviet satellite, to Castro, not even a communist government openly. But he was not willing to show you thought. In short, between Nixon and Kissinger decided to sink to Allende from the first day of his coming to power. So is history. Meanwhile, in Latin America is celebrating a huge step in the rise to power by free elections and democratic socialist government (albeit with a slight margin, the Popular Unity reached only 36.2%) in the offices of the CIA or the private office of Nixon over the work of destruction was already underway. Precisely Trials of Kissinger, Alexander Haig Falcon (which had around here trying to fix the Falklands War) gasped with the force of an angry spat: "Another Castro in Latin America? Please! "I mean, not crazy. Allende was falling.
Haig is an active soldier in the cause. In my novel Carter in New York, Joe Carter tells a dying friend how Haig (Alexander Higgins in the novel) Allende says goodbye before boarding the plane to take him to the States, and accomplished his task. He explains: "The problem, now, is Islam. But at age 24 I met Sen. Alexander Higgins. The man was a genius. One of the great minds that "back in 1973 - settled the socialist government of Salvador Allende. And that, not long ago, between a drink and another, "he had confessed some things. 'You know, Carter, Allende had the bliss of an archangel. But what could I do? Just admit it, but my work does not avoid sentimentality dangerous, you lie or you blind. The last time I shook his hand, shortly before the coup that ended his life, I left the Republic of Chile, everything was already done. I pulled my face to hers and very low but audible voice for him and for me, I said, 'You're a pure man. Communist or not. When you fall on the chaos that we have prepared remember these words from one of his enemies. Are you a good man, mistaken but honest and brave. Narrow your hand with pride, Dr. Allende. And it's the last time I do. " I looked through those glasses PhD, academic, religious man. He said, 'Why, if both respects me who is next seek my destruction? " 'Doctor, is very simple: another Cuba in Latin America, no. We can not allow that. " 'And who are you to allow or not people have a democratically elected? " 'The United States of America. And you our backyard. We do not want more problems here. Try to save. Flee. " 'Never. You do not respect me if I flee. I respect because they know that I will fight to the end. " 'I know. We'll never know is why fight to die for a cause so infamous. " I glared Allende. Heck, when I looked ugly you could shake if you were not hard, if you were short balls. He said "They'll never know is how you say respect me and is a mercenary in the service of a rule of murderers." 'Doctor, not born to understand. We are about to cease to respect. And if I stay one or two minutes you will finish with the work done soon make their executioners. " 'Seems to know. " "We've trained us, doctor." 'Who is the main leader? " 'Do not you know? Do you not know that? " Said nothing. Everything was so irrefutably screening I did not mind giving the name of the general that we had intended as executioner. "Pinochet." '"Gen. Pinochet?' was amazed. And, sure, said: "General Pinochet is my friend '. 'Doctor Allende, Chile's labor with a question: if you are incredibly good or incredibly stupid. " 'Well, I leave you with one certainty: you are a dog, a human scum who insults the human essence. " 'I'm sorry to disappoint, Doctor but that essence, the two of us, the incarnate me better than you. I leave teaching before I go: you, a communist, he believes that the essence is good enough that she succeed to make men free. We believe it is bad. That is selfish and only cares about money. That's why we will continue to kill and kill and they win all wars. Think about it. '"(Carter in New York, ed. Cit. Pp. 105/106/107).
The other crucial factor that overthrew Allende was "the dean of the Chilean press," the centennial newspaper El Mercurio. Augustine Edwards, the director, traveled to the offices of Nixon and returned with two million dollars for the democratic task to undertake. From the pages inflamed anti-patriotism, El Mercurio called the fight to the Chilean Concheta, which are formidable. Fashion opened pans.
Everything has been said. Allende took refuge in La Moneda and says that he will not flee. Stay there. Sinks with his ship. Is wearing a war helmet and holding a submachine gun. Gives a final speech: "Workers of my country, I have faith in Chile and its destiny. Other men will overcome this gray and bitter moment when treason seeks to prevail. Continue to know that, sooner rather than later, again will open the great promenades down which free men, to build a better society. " Don Agustin Edwards, director of the "dean of the Chilean press, with good champagne will be provided. The Concheta, happy. The workers, persecuted and killed. There, in the North, the CIA, Nixon and Kissinger met. Allende committed suicide or killed. But he was at his post until the last minute. On September 11 America America remembers and mourns this is. The other, the towers, nor do we know who did it. And, dogged, and he would have liked to Don Salvador, continue to believe that some time, sooner or later, great avenues will open. And the first to go through them will be Don Salvador Allende. A huge banner with the face of a good man, he dreamed a dream, perhaps impossible, but he held until the end. Thus, few, health, hero, martyr, such as perennial. As you embody the best of the human condition.
