PAUVRE CHILE
Reconstruido de las memorias del Consul Chileno por el enigmatico Don CriCri 2004. I don't see why we should have to stand by and let a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people’ Henry Kissinger
Elecion de Allende
In a display of unpardonably bad conduct, the Chilean people elect Salvador Allende president. Another president, of the International Telephone and Telegraph Corporation, offers a million dollars to whoever can put an end to this disgrace, while the president of the United States earmarks ten million for the affair. Richard Nixon instructs the CIA to prevent Allende from sitting in the presidential chair; or, should he sit, to see that the chair get kicked out from underneathe him before too long..
General Rene Schneider, head of the army, rejects the call for a golpe de estado and is struck down in an ambush: 'those bullets were for me' says Allende.
Loans from the World Bank and all other official and private banks are suspended, except those for the military. The price of copper nosedives.
From Washington Henry Kissinger explains:
'I don't see why we should have to stand by and let a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people'

1972,
Santiago de Chile Luchando valiente
A million people parade through the streets of Santiago in support of Salvador Allende and against the embalmed bourgeoisie who pretend to be alive and Chilean.
A people on fire, a people breaking the custom of suffering: in search of itself, Chile recovers its copper, iron, nitrates, banks, foreign trade, and industrial monopolies. It also nationalizes the ITT (ATT formerly) telephone system, paying for it the small amount that ITT said it was worth in tax returns.

1973,
Santiago de Chile, La Trampa
By diplomatic pouch come the dollars that finance strikes, sabotage, and lies. Businessmen paralyze Chile and deny it food. There is no other market than the black market. People have to form long lines for a pack of cigarettes or a kilo of sugar. Getting meat or oil required a miracle of the Most Sainted Virgin Mary. The Christian democrats and the rag El Mercurio abuse the government and openly demand a redemptory golpe de estado, since the time has come to finish with this red tyranny. Newspapers, magazines, and radio and TV stations echo the cry. For the government it is tough to make any move whatsoever: judges and parliamentarians dig in their heels, while in the barracks key military men whom Allende believes loyal conspire against him.
In these difficult times, workers are discovering the secrets of the economy. They're learning it isn't impossible to produce without bosses or supply themselves without merchants. But they march without weapons, empty handed, down this freedom road.
Across the horizon sail us warships preparing to exhibit themselves off the Chilean coast. The military coup, so much heralded, occurs.
La Reconquista de Chile 1973
A great black cloud rises from the flaming palace aka La Moneda. President Allende dies at his post as the generals kill Chileans by the thousands. The civil registry does not record the deaths, because the books don't have enough room for them, but general Tomas Opazo Santanderm (maton puto) offers assurances that the victims do not exceed .01 percent of the population, which is not, after all, a high social cost, and CIA director William Colby (otro cabron) explains in Washington that, thanks to the executions, Chile is avoiding another civil war. Senora Pinochet declares that the tears of mothers will redeem the country. Puta whore!
All power is assumed by a military junta of four members, formed in the school of Americas in Panama. Heading it is General Augustus Pinochet, professor of geopolitics. Martial music resounds against a backdrop of explosions and machine-gun fire. Radios broadcast decrees and proclamations, which promise more bloodshed, while the price of copper suddenly rises on the world market.
The poet, Neruda, dying, asks for news of the terror. At moments he manages to sleep, and raves in his sleep. The vigil and the dream are one great nightmare. Since he heard Salvador Allende's proud farewell on the radio, the poet has begun his death-throes.
1983, Santiago de Chile, ten years after the reconquista of Chile
‘You have the right to import a camel' says the minister of finance. From the TV screen the minister exhorts Chileans to make use of free trade. In Chile democracy consists of choosing between Chivas Regal and Johnnie Walker.
Everything is imported: brooms, birdcage swings, corn, water for the whiskey. Baguette loaves come from Paris. The economic system imported from the United States obliges Chileans to scratch at the entrails of their mountain for copper, and nothing more. Not even a pin can they manufacture, because South Korean pins come cheaper. Any creative act is a crime against the laws of the market - the laws of fate.
From the U S comes TV programs, cars, machine-guns, and plastic flowers. In the upper-class neighborhoods of Santiago, one bumps into Japanese computers, German videocassettes, Dutch cleanser, Swiss chocolates, English muffins, Danish hams, clothing from Bangladesh, French perfumes, Spanish flies, Italian olive oil...
He who does not consume does not exist. Everyone else is used and discarded, although they pay the bills for the credit fiesta. The unemployed scavenge through refuse. Everywhere one sees signs that say: no openings. Do not insist. The foreign debt and the suicide rate increased 6-fold.
Pinochet never met justice, except old age dementia. The country's wounds are still too tender for a national political trial. More 'n likely, the CIA cover up is still classified. Besides, Chile and the Machine are sleeping together in a bed of trade.
