September 11th 1973 ….
Pinochet’s coup d’état against the democratically elected Allende government. Let’s not forget this September 11 that gets ‘lost’ in the fog of the selective remembrance.
The day where a democratically elected government was overthrown by a military dictatorship headed by the monstrous General Pinochet with the backing and support of the US government. Henry Kissinger believed that America had a duty to intervene when a country ‘went Marxist’…So the bloodshed, carnage, state terrorism, assassinations, murders, detention centres, repression, the ‘missing’, torture..this monumental shock warfare to the collective psyche was acceptable to Kissinger because it served those ‘irresponsible people’ right for voting for Allende!
Thirty-seven years on and Henry Kissinger is still a fucking war criminal, no wonder he checks the extradition laws everytime he leaves the USA.
Kissinger – what a scumbag.
The intellectually dishonest left have recently been trying to deny US involvement in Chile over at Harry’s Place: http://bloodworthweb.blogspot.com/2010/09/decent-left.html
