...@Erwin C.<br /><br />Sorry, didn't mean to pick on you.<br /><br /><br />@ Anonymous<br /><br />I stopped reading your post at "some unnecessary human rights violations." Under Pinochet, 30,000 Chileans were arrested; 29,000 were tortured; and at least 5,000 were killed or have have disappeared. The Chilean dictatorship doesn't seem to have been as bad as that of Argentina, but those numbers are far more significant than you seem to concede.Rafshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01746094202823415912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16285355.post-91464221252643754952010-09-13T12:21:50.504-04:002010-09-13T12:21:50.504-04:00from de Clermont - thank God for Pinochet. Yes, th...from de Clermont - thank God for Pinochet. Yes, there may have been some unnecessary human rights violations committed, but Pinochet no doubt saw the problems with the Soviet Communists and their potential inflitration of Chile's society just as before. If it were not for him Chile would be Cuba - oppression and misery. I remember those times (watching on the tele from Europe) and the people in the streets with their caserolas. Allende was a Soviet plant and they would have done to Chile what the Soviets did to Eastern Europe. Read the book (a lot to read) "The Mitrokhin Archive: The KGB in Europe and the West" co-authored by KGB intelligence agentVasili Mitrokhin. Even if you do not read for KGB's Chile involvement, it is an amazing historial. Great for a movie or mini-series. If Pinochet is so bad, why is Castro so good and accepted amongst the world's so-called intelligentsia and Leftists? Hypocrisy. At least Pinochet left Chile economically healthy and with the most socio-economic equality in the region and in most of the world.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16285355.post-43836042116225404682010-09-13T11:11:38.837-04:002010-09-13T11:11:38.837-04:00The video mentions the role played by U.S. intel b...The video mentions the role played by U.S. intel behind the coup.
