The 9/11 they don’t teach you about:

On this day in 1973, General Augusto Pinochet, backed by the CIA launches a coup against Chile’s🇨🇱 democratically-elected socialist President Salvador Allende after a protracted US campaign to sabotage and impoverish the Chilean people.

President Nixon ordered the CIA to “make the economy scream” in Chile to “prevent Allende from coming to power or to unseat him.” Allende refused to surrender to Pinochet’s troops and died defending the Presidential Palace.

Pinochet’s fascist dictatorship would see the deaths, imprisonment, or disappearance of over 40,000 people. The CIA-backed coup in Chile was part of establishing Operation Condor, a plan to impose de-facto continent-wide fascism in Latin America to crush socialist, communist and workers’ movements. Operation Condor is estimated to be responsible for 60,000-80,000 deaths in Latin America.

Here is Allende addressing the Chilean people for the last time, before he died defending the country from Pinochet’s fascism.
