For nearly 20 years, the women of Calama traveled into the desert each day to search for their loved ones — their husbands and partners who were ripped from them, detained, tortured, executed, and disappeared in the weeks following Chile's US-backed 1973 coup d'état.Monday through Sunday, sun-up to sundown, they scoured the harsh desert earth with strainers and rakes, searching and hoping.And finally, in 1990, on the edge of a hillside overlooking the expansive Atacama desert, the women found fragments of bones and pieces of teeth. This was the location their loved ones had laid buried for 17 years. This is the May Week of the Disappeared — a week to remember and honor those who have been forcibly disappeared and the fight for truth and justice for their families.This is episode 38 of Stories of Resistance—a podcast co-produced by The Real News and Global Exchange.

Journalist and author John Dinges joins Suzi to discuss his new book, Chile in Their Hearts. The book reopens the case of Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi — two young Americans who went to Chile to experience the radical democratic socialist experiment of Salvador Allende's Popular Unity government — and were detained and executed in the days following the brutal military takeover of September 11, 1973. The story was immortalized in Costa-Gavras' Oscar-winning film Missing, which depicted Horman as the man who knew too much about U.S. involvement in the coup. That became the widely accepted story of Horman's death, as well as that of Frank Teruggi, who was arrested, tortured and killed during the coup's brutal early days. But John Dinges, himself a young journalist who lived in Chile from 1972-1978, uncovered circumstances and facts of their cases that challenge this version as a myth. His meticulous examination of the evidence reveals the shoddy investigation of the facts and the coverup behind its false conclusions. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

  50 Reasons For 50 Years - Episode 08 Ted Yacucci - YouTube Channel Ted's 2024 interview on Black Op Radio, Episode #1225. Listen here. Respectfully, Ted has enjoyed a distinguished career working in media for decades. Len is a huge fan! New documents prove the CIA assassinated JFK. Watch Video. Len thanks and congratulations Ted for his good work, after starting his serious JFK research 20 years ago. Ted was just 8 years old when JFK was assassinated and fascinated by the case after watching Ruby shoot Oswald. Ted's research has really had two main focuses, Ruth Paine and the Chicago plot. During 2013, Ted and Ruth Paine corresponded several times over the phone during a 3 month period. When Ted didn't agree that Lee Harvey Oswald was involved in the General Walker shooting, Ruth denied a final interview. Ted has travelled to Chicago several times over the years, while researching the Chicago plot, filing several FOIA requests. Predictably, Ted was not given any serious answers via the various FOIA requests to the JFK assassination info gatekeepers. Since retiring recently in December, Ted has had a lot of fun creating new JFK video content. Have you seen Ted's most recent video, "You May Be A Lone Nutter If You..."? View Here. Len really likes this video of Ted's as it shows the CIA's methods for removing governments in an articulate manner. Ted makes it obvious that the CIA was out of control, manipulating elections and Congress, creating government coups etc.. The CIA was running contributions to a strike in British Guiana via cover under the AFL-CIO and George Meany. George Meany, President of the AFL-CIO, was CIA. Watch here. Why would an American union be used to help fund and organize a strike in a foreign country? Pre-electoral interference. In March and May of 1964, the CIA gave money to the Christian Democratic candidate, Eduardo Frei. A whopping $750k was funnelled by the CIA to Frei in March and $1.25 million in May, in efforts to defeat Salvador Allende. Over the next 8 years, the CIA kept up their efforts to keep Allende out of power. 1972 the CIA couldn't stop the people from voting for Allende, who became President. The CIA then sponsored a coup against President Salvador Allende, installing dictator Augusto Pinochet. Upon becoming President, Pinochet cancelled open free democratic elections after he was installed into power. Pinochet's dictatorship lasted about 20 years, during which time, a genocide was perpetuated against the Chilean people. In 1953, the overthrow of the democratically elected government happened in Iran, with the CIA installing Shah Pahlevi. Oil profits were funnelled to Britain and the United States after the coup, Iran has never been the same since the takeover. All of the CIA's chaos and genocides that they create comes down to GREED and PROFIT. It’s disgusting. Guatemalan President was thrown out mainly by the Dulles brothers, major shareholders in the United Fruit Company. United Fruit Company owned over 80% of the land in Guatemala, who was dependent on the CIA. After Guatemalan President, Elfego H. Monzon was removed from power, a genocide followed, over the next 20 years. The year before, the CIA had eliminated Congo President, Patrice Lumumba.on January 17, 1961. Patrice Lumumba wanted to have a fair democracy for the poor people of the Congo. He wanted the best for his people. During these events, John Kennedy was inaugurated as President on January 20th, 1961. Everyone knew that JFK was a big supporter of Lumumba, and would not have wanted him touched. When Kennedy found out Lumumba was kidnapped and murdered, he was openly devastated hearing the news. In the 1947 CIA Charter, the CIA was authorized to operate a mind control program like MK Ultra! LSD experiments included giving LSD to participants for 77 days straight!

Au Mali, le régime militaire du général Goïta supprime les partis politiques. Ce mardi 13 mai au soir, un ministre a lu, à la télévision, un décret présidentiel qui dissout tous les partis politiques. Cette annonce tombe au moment où le chef de la junte malienne veut se faire proclamer président de la République pour cinq ans, sans passer par des élections. Réaction de l'avocat Mamadou Ismaïla Konaté, qui a été ministre malien de la Justice et garde des Sceaux. Aujourd'hui, il est inscrit au barreau du Mali et au barreau de Paris. Maître Konaté répond aux questions de Christophe Boisbouvier. RFI : Êtes-vous êtes surpris par la décision de dissoudre les partis politiques ? Mamadou Ismaïla Konaté : Une décision au forceps d'un régime militaire de transition ne surprend guère. Ceci d'autant plus qu'on l'a vu arriver. Ceux qui avaient encore le moindre doute doivent ouvrir les yeux et les oreilles et comprendre simplement que nous sommes dans le contexte du Chili de 1973 d'Augusto Pinochet.Alors pourquoi cette décision du général Assimi Goïta, que vous comparez au général Pinochet ? Est-ce que c'est pour pouvoir se faire proclamer, dans quelques jours peut-être, président pour un mandat de cinq ans sans passer par la case des élections ? Il a louvoyé dans le vœu d'être comme ses autres homologues dans le cadre de l'AES, c'est-à-dire d'être déclaré président de la République sans jamais passer par une élection. Je pense que, après le tour de table qui lui a permis justement de prendre contact avec la justice constitutionnelle, un certain nombre de juristes, pour savoir s'il pouvait aller avec son képi, ses galons et sa tenue comme candidat à la présidence de la République, je pense qu'il en a été dissuadé. Au point que, aujourd'hui, il a anéanti les partis politiques qui étaient les seuls acteurs politiques qui pouvaient vraiment le gêner. Là, aujourd'hui, il a le vent en poupe. Il a dégagé l'arène, il peut tout dire, tout se proclamer et se prendre pour tout ce qu'il n'est pas.Alors, vous dites que son modèle, c'est le général chilien Augusto Pinochet en 1973. Est-ce que ce n'est pas aussi le général malien Moussa Traoré qui a putsché en 1968 et qui a tenu le pouvoir pendant 23 ans ? Oui, mais le parallèle qui me vient à l'esprit, c'est quand même le général Pinochet, qui a renversé dans les mêmes conditions un régime légal, pour s'installer au pouvoir. Et sa démarche a consisté à saccager les institutions, à anéantir les libertés, à bannir les droits. Les partis politiques ont disparu, toute la vie politique a disparu. Et de ce point de vue-là, je pense que l'équivalent du général Assimi Goïta, c'est quand même Pinochet dans sa démarche d'anéantissement de l'État de droit, dans sa démarche justement de mépris de la démocratie et des démocrates. Il ne faut pas oublier que le 26 mars, dans ce pays, il y a eu du sang. Et le 26 mars, c'est quand même le point de départ d'un système de démocratie qui est l'option fondamentale du Mali et des Maliens, qu'aucune force vive ne peut venir aujourd'hui anéantir. Les Maliens doivent ouvrir les yeux, comprendre qu'on est dans une véritable dictature aujourd'hui et que le droit est anéanti. Ce n'est que la force militaire, la baïonnette, qui va désormais parler.À lire aussiMali: les partis politiques sont officiellement dissousOui, vous faites allusion au 26 mars 1991, le jour où la révolution malienne a fait tomber le régime militaire de Moussa Traoré. Mais est-ce que ce général, qui a gouverné 23 ans d'une main de fer, n'est pas le modèle d'Assimi Goïta ?S'il le prend pour modèle, à mon avis, il se trompe parce que les époques ne sont pas les mêmes. L'option de la démocratie est définitivement faite par le Mali et par les Maliens.Le 3 mai dernier, pour la première fois depuis l'arrivée au pouvoir des militaires, des centaines de Maliens ont défilé dans les rues de Bamako au cri de « Vive la démocratie ! », « À bas la dictature ! ». Est-ce que ce sont les prémices d'un réveil démocratique ? Ce sont des prémices et des prémices qui sont quand même indicateurs de la suite. Ça ne s'est pas passé qu'à Bamako. Dans plusieurs autres villes et localités du Mali, les gens ont pris conscience que cet ordre militaire ne pourrait pas s'imposer pendant très longtemps. Et j'estime simplement que ce qui vient de se passer est un tour de vis qui va encore davantage faire prendre conscience du danger, notamment chez les jeunes, chez les femmes. Et tous ceux qui sont épris de paix et de démocratie se disent aujourd'hui que le Mali est en danger.Oui, mais est-ce que le général Goïta ne dispose pas de la police, de l'armée, d'une machine qui peut réprimer et faire peur ? Avant lui, on en a vu d'autres, après lui, on en verra d'autres. S'il a les moyens d'exterminer 22 millions de Maliens, alors là, il décidera que l'autorité militaire doit s'imposer au détriment de la démocratie, au détriment de la liberté.Mais vous ne craignez pas une vague de répression à présent ? C'est le prix à payer, justement, lorsqu'on est en quête de droits, en quête de loi, en quête de démocratie. C'est le prix à payer face à une institution militaire comme celle-ci, qui viole le serment militaire, qui viole le règlement militaire, qui ne connait plus la doctrine militaire. Bien évidemment, ils peuvent prendre le risque de tirer sur les gens, mais cela se terminera contre leur gré et ce sont eux qui en paieront le prix.À lire aussiMali: l'inédite contestation de la transition du 3-4 mai peut-elle se poursuivre?

This special episode focuses on Philippe Sands' latest book, 38 Londres Street – On Impunity, Pinochet in England and a Nazi in Patagonia. The title of Sands' new book refers to the address of Pinochet's torture centre in 38 London street, Santiago/Chile, and the quest to bring Pinochet to court for his deeds in London and Spain in the late 1990ies. Since the release of Philippe Sand's book in April 2025, several court cases have been started against Pinochet's officers in Chile. A second strand of the book is devoted to a member of Pinochet's staff, the Nazi engineer Walter Rauff. Famous as the constructor of the so-called “gas-waggons”, he was also notorious as a torturer and as an intelligence officer in Gestapo and Sicherheitsdienst during the 1940ies in the Nazi era, his specialty was “extraction of confessions”. He also is a protagonist of the so-called Ratline: in the post-war, he escaped several imprisonment camps and evaded justice. Like many Nazi perpetrators he emigrated to Latin America in the 1950ies and subsequently rose to new positions, with old duties. The book gives full account  of Rauffs involvement in the murders of the Pinochet intelligence agency DINA and their torture camps during the 1970ies, and his heinous practice to let people “disappear” in fishmeal factories.   Special Hosts & Moderators: Prof. Dr. Kerstin von Lingen, Professor of Contemporary History at the University of Vienna; historian Dr. Linda Erker from the Documentation Centre of Austrian Resistance (DÖW); MA history student Bruno Stern and journalist Klaus Taschwer (“Der Standard”, Vienna).

As if we hardly need reminding that Chile's controversial pension reforms were the focal point of protests at the heart of the civil unrest or "estallido social". This has been particularly incendiary in Chile with the AFP's origins dating back to the Pinochet dictatorship. Chile has always seemed like the Switzerland of Latin America, routinely topping regionally adjusted league tables, but obviously it was massively inequitable and the pension system bred particular resentment over time.  On The LatinNews Podcast this week, we speak to Nicholas Barr, Professor of Public Economics at the London School of Economics and Political Science and author of numerous books and papers on the welfare state including pensions and higher education finance. Follow LatinNews for analysis on economic, political, and security developments in Latin America & the Caribbean.

De 4 mei-herdenking is afgelopen jaren gepolitiseerd geraakt door verhitte debatten over wie we herdenken en op welke manier. Tegelijkertijd neemt de kennis over de Shoah onder jongeren af. Waarom is herdenken belangrijk?Die vraag beantwoordt schrijver en jurist Philippe Sands in een lezing in De Balie waarin hij dieper ingaat op vernietiging en ondergang in het Derde Rijk. Sands analyseert hoe de herinnering aan genocide de manier waarop we omgaan met hedendaagse conflicten en onrecht beïnvloedt. De Shoah, als een van de donkerste hoofdstukken in de geschiedenis, herinnert ons niet alleen aan de miljoenen slachtoffers, maar ook aan de gevaren van haat, vooroordelen en onbeperkte macht.Na afloop van de lezing in het Engels volgt een panelgesprek in het Nederlands met Arnon Grunberg, Judith Belinfante en Nico Schrijver en houdt ook Jaap Goudsmit een lezing.Philippe Sands (1960) is een Brits-Franse jurist, hoogleraar en auteur, gespecialiseerd mensenrechten en internationaal recht. Sands was betrokken bij verschillende internationale strafzaken, waaronder die van de Chileense juntaleider Pinochet. Sands schreef verschillende bekroonde boeken, waaronder Galicische wetten (2016) en The Ratline (2020), over internationaal recht, genocide en nazisme.Programmamaker: Eloïse KasiusModerator: Yoeri AlbrechtZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.Zie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

On this episode, we're joined by author and international human rights barrister Philippe Sands to talk about his latest book, 38 Londres Street, a gripping exploration of justice, memory, and impunity through the intertwining stories of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and Nazi fugitive Walter Rauff who spent decades in Chile avoiding extradition.We consider the groundbreaking legal concept of universal jurisdiction through the lens of Pinochet's dramatic 1998 arrest in London—a defining moment that transformed international justice—and what it means for the complex geopolitics of today. Drawing inspiration from literary figures like Roberto Bolaño, Bruce Chatwin, and Ariel Dorfman, Sands blends detective-style nonfiction with profound moral complexity, tracing the ominous echoes among Nazi Germany, fascism, and the Cold War. He also tells us about the book's sensational reception in Chile, where the effects of his reporting have reignited long-suppressed debates about accountability and national memory. In typical fashion, we also cover everything from Pinochet's visit to Hatchards a few days before his arrest—where he reportedly bought every book he could find on Napoleon—to his compulsive viewing of Star Wars films while awaiting trial.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessagePope Francis's recent passing marks the end of a transformative and deeply controversial 12-year pontificate that reshaped the Catholic Church in profound ways. What will be his ultimate legacy? Four essential books offer contrasting perspectives that help us understand the full picture.Austin Ivory's "The Great Reformer" and "Wounded Shepherd" present Francis as a spiritual director guiding the Church toward greater humility and mercy. The author describes Francis's impact as "like an earthquake...moving and shaking things up and in that shaking up, what will fall is what has to fall and what will rise up is a new era in the history of the church." This sympathetic view portrays Francis as a holy man committed to reforming Church structures while maintaining its spiritual essence.On the other side, Father Gerald Murray's "Calming the Storm" and Trent Horn's "Confusion in the Kingdom" critique what they see as progressive overreach during Francis's papacy. They argue that efforts to reach the "peripheries" and create a "field hospital" Church sometimes came at the expense of clear moral teaching. As Horn writes, "The liberal Catholicism I have critiqued in this book fails the people who need God and his church the most. It causes them to downplay the spiritual hazard of certain sins."These contrasting perspectives reflect the real divisions Francis's leadership created among Catholics worldwide. His reforms around marriage, synodality, and liturgy generated both passionate support and fierce resistance. Whether viewed as necessary modernization or dangerous accommodation to secular values, Francis undeniably leaves behind a Church grappling and confused with fundamental questions about its identity and mission.As we pray for the repose of Francis's soul during this traditional mourning period, we might remember that if there's one thing he would want to be remembered for, it's his emphasis on God's boundless mercy – a message that transcends the political and theological debates his papacy inspired. Correction:   I referenced "Pinochet as Argentina's leader," that is incorrect.  I meant to reference Jorge Rafael Videla which was the leader who overthrew the Peron govt in the 1970's during Argentinas "Dirty War" era.   My apologies.   Key points:• "The Great Reformer" by Austin Ivory traces Jorge Bergoglio's journey from Buenos Aires to the Vatican• Ivory's second book "Wounded Shepherd" offers a more nuanced view, comparing Francis's impact to an earthquake reshaping the Church• Father Gerald Murray's "Calming the Storm" critiques Francis's reforms for creating confusion rather than clarity• Trent Horn's "Confusion in the Kingdom" examines how progressive Catholicism is bringing harm to the Church• These books collectively reveal the tensions between mercy and doctrine, reform and tradition• The Francis pontificate leaves behind significant fault lines that will shape the Church's future directionPlease pray for the repose of the soul of Pope Francis and remember his emphasis on God's mercy for all sinners.Other resources:Substack written piece "A Papacy of Milestones and Confusion"Want to leave a review?

After last week's episode, “The Emergency Is Here,” we got a lot of emails. And the most common reply was: You really think we'll have midterm elections in 2026? Isn't that naïve?I think we will have midterms. But one reason I think so many people are skeptical of that is they're working with comparisons to other places: Mussolini's Italy, Putin's Russia, Pinochet's Chile.But we don't need to look abroad for parallels; it has happened here.Steven Hahn is a Pulitzer Prize-winning historian at New York University and the author of “Illiberal America: A History.” In this conversation, he walks me through some of the most illiberal periods in American history: Andrew Jackson's Indian Removal Act of 1830, Jim Crow, the Red Scare, Japanese American internment, Operation Wetback. And we discuss how this legacy can help us better understand what's happening right now.This episode contains strong language.Book Recommendations:Democracy in America by Alexis de TocquevilleFrom the War on Poverty to the War on Crime by Elizabeth HintonTroubled Memory by Lawrence N.

"El debate sobre las causas del quiebre de la democracia y sobre las responsabilidades de la dictadura debe hacerse en el espacio público y en debates intelectuales y académicos. Llevar esa discusión a la arena electoral es un enorme error para la derecha", Patricio Navia.

Sam Leith's guest on this week's Book Club podcast is the lawyer and writer Philippe Sands, whose new book 38 Londres Street describes the legal and diplomatic tussle over the potential extradition of the former Chilean dictator General Pinochet. Philippe tells Sam why the case was such an important one in legal history, and presents new evidence suggesting that the General's release to Chile on health grounds may have been part of a behind-the-scenes stitch-up between the UK and Chilean governments. He sets out some of that evidence and pushes back on our reviewer Jonathan Sumption's scepticism about the case. Here's an old case, but not yet a cold case. Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

Send us a textThe Mapuche people of Chile are fighting to reclaim ancestral lands taken over by vast industrial eucalyptus and pine plantations established during the Pinochet dictatorship in the 1970s. Their struggle goes beyond land ownership—it's about reclaiming culture, spirituality, language, and food sovereignty while facing criminalization under Chile's new "usurpation law."• Mapuche territory (Wallmapu) was initially protected by treaty but later seized through what the Chilean government called "pacification of the Araucanía" • Industrial tree plantations have destroyed native ecosystems, depleted water resources, and created conditions for devastating "megafires" and "gigafires"• Chilean authorities use "preventative prison" to hold Mapuche activists for up to two years without formal charges or trials• Militarization of Mapuche territories has led to surveillance, intimidation, and targeting of young activists• The controversial "usurpation law" criminalizes land reclamation efforts, violating international indigenous rights agreements Chile has ratified• The struggle connects to broader patterns of indigenous land theft for industrial tree plantations under dictatorships globally• Land reclamation is essential for Mapuche cultural revival and addressing extreme poverty On this episode of Breaking Green, we spoke with Anne Petermann.  Petermann co- founded Global Justice Ecology Project in 2003. She is the international coordinator of the Campaign to STOP GE Trees, which she also co founded. Petermann is a founding board member of the Will Miller Social Justice Lecture Series.

What connects a notorious Chilean dictator with an SS commander who played a key role in the Holocaust? This is the question at the heart of a book by the author and lawyer Philippe Sands, which follows the twin stories of Augusto Pinochet's sensational arrest in London in 1998 and the postwar career of Walter Rauff, who spent many years in Pinochet's Chile. Philippe was joined by Rob Attar to explore a tangled tale of law and mass murder in Europe and South America.

The French Far Right leader Marine Le Pen is barred from standing in the country's next presidential election following her conviction for embezzlement. She's beginning an emergency appeal straight away, and her party says “democracy has been executed“ in France today. Will that conviction silence them?

3 de marzo del año 2000, Pinochet regresa a Chile tras su liberación de su arresto de 503 días en Londres. Un caso que se había iniciado con la orden internacional de detención contra el dictador chileno dictada por el juez de la Audiencia Nacional Baltasar Garzón.Aprovechando la recuperación de Pinochet en una clínica londinense tras una operación de hernia discal, el juez Garzón reclamó su extradición para ser juzgado en España por crímenes de lesa humanidad, amparado en el principio de Jurisdicción Universal.Aunque había poca esperanza de que la orden pudiera prosperar, el caso adquirió una gran repercusión. Se abrió un amplio debate sobre la aplicación del Derecho Penal Internacional y se le llegó a comparar con el proceso de Núremberg.Mientras el caso Pinochet tenía un tortuoso recorrido jurídico, en el terreno político tensó las relaciones entre Chile y el Reino Unido y España. Socialmente, en Chile la polarización creció hasta límites no conocidos en su reciente democracia, aún tutelada por la sombra de la dictadura.A pesar del visto bueno final del Comité Judicial de la Cámara de los Lores a la extradición, aunque recortando los delitos por los que podría ser juzgado, el caso se resolvería en el plano político. El ministro del interior, Jack Straw, liberaba a Pinochet en base a dictámenes médicos que determinaban su supuesta incapacidad para afrontar un juicio.Cuando Pinochet regresó a Chile fue aclamado por sus seguidores, pero ya no era él mismo: había perdido su inmunidad y sería procesado en su propio país.Este documental, con guion de Luis Zaragoza y realización de Samuel Alarcón, cuenta con la participación del propio Baltasar Garzón, junto a los periodistas Ernesto Ekaizer, autor del libro Yo Augusto, y Felipe Gerdtzen, autor de Augusto Pinochet, 503 días atrapado en Londres, y la intérprete Jean Pateras, que asistió a Scotland Yard durante el arresto de Pinochet.Escuchar audio

Inside this Episode with Mitch HamptonI read an enormous amount of books in a given year, partially for the great pleasure it creates in me and partly as my project of lifelong learning, itself probably identical in pleasure. Verba's work on Violeta Parra - one of the giants in Latin American music in general and  Chilean music in particular as well as a leading visual artist and scholar - was one of the books in this new year of 2025 that taught me an enormous amount, not only about music but History and other matters. I found my episode with Verba - someone who has deep and involved careers in music performance as much as scholarship - a delight from beginning to end and I hope our audience gets to learn more about the genius that was Violeta Parra.Dr. Verba's BioEricka Verba is Director and Professor of Latin American Studies at California State University, Los Angeles. Her research interests include the cultural Cold War, the role of music in social movements, and the intersection of gender and class politics in twentieth-century Latin America. She has received grants from the National Endowment from the Humanities, the Mellon Foundation, the Social Science Research Council, the Fulbright, and the Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs. She is a founding member of SCALAS (Southern California Association of Latin American Studies) and the recipient of the E. Bradford Burns Award for service to the Pacific Coast Council on Latin American Studies. She is the author of the book Thanks to Life: A Biography of Violeta Parra. Her interest in Violeta Parra dates back to her early teens in the 1970s when she became friends with a Chilean family of musicians and artists who taught Verba her first Violeta Parra songs and guided her political awakening to the brutality of the Pinochet dictatorship and the role of the US government in installing and supporting it. As a musician and founding member of the US-based New Song groups Sabiá and Desborde, she has been performing Parra's music since 1976. In 1980, she wrote her undergraduate honors senior thesis on Parra's autobiography in verse. In 1996, She was the musical director and arranger for a tribute concert to Violeta Parra, supported by an Artists in the Community grant from the Los Angeles Cultural Affairs Department and recorded and released as Desborde, Tribute Concert to Violeta Parra. As a professor of Latin American History since 2004, she has welded her research on the history of women in Chile with her interest in Parra to acquire a deeper understanding of the social context and gender dynamics that shaped Parra's life. Suffice to say, Verba's book represents the culmination of a decades-long curiosity about Violeta Parra and engagement with her work. #folkmusic #chile #guitar #communism #marxist-leninism #fascism #salvadorallende #1940s #1950s #1960s #alanlomax #peteseeger #painting #dance #sculpture #feminism #latinamerica #southamerica #nicanorparra #angelparra #violetawenttoheaven #biennalearte #louvrepalace #albertcamus #existentialism #jeanpaulsartre #picasso #earlbrowder #paulrobeson #woodyguthrie #l'escale #france #paris #argentina #folklorista #chileannewsong Links to her socials:Website:https://erickaverba.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ericka_verba/More about her new book: THANKS TO LIFE A Biography of Violeta Parra "A stunning achievement.

Den 11. september 1973, på dagen hvor Pinochet kupper Allende, befinder Mario Julio sig midt i hovedstaden Santiago. Han oplever på egen krop, hvordan det er, at være lige der, hvor et af de største dramaer i Chiles historie udspiller sig. Og så ender Mario også med at lide samme skæbne som en del andre socialister i landet - han bliver nemlig både anholdt, tortureret og fængslet under Pinochet. I dag er det er næsten 50 år siden Mario Julio flygtede fra Pinochets rædselsregime til en mere fredelig tilværelse i Danmark. Men i dette afsnit tager han os med tilbage til den hårdeste periode i sit liv. Vært: Nicholas Durup Thomsen. Gæst: Laura Skelgaard Paulsen og Mario Julio. DR Redaktør: Anders Stegger. Produceret for P3 af MonoMono.

Det er valgdag i Santiago, og det går ikke helt som Pinochet ønsker det. Det er også dumt at lave et demokratisk valg, når man nu er diktator. Men alt håb er ikke ude for den gamle militærstrateg, for han har sørget for, at han stadigvæk kan være en magtfuld figur i mange år endnu, selvom han ikke længere er præsident. I flere nyder han sit otium ved stadig at være øverstkommanderende i hæren og dejlige rejser til Europa, indtil en dag hvor fælden klapper - og han er nødt til at søge hjælp hos en gammel og meget magtfuld veninde.

Discover the chilling dual identity of Chile's National Stadium, Estadio Nacional Julio Martínez Prádanos. Augusto José Ramón Pinochet Ugarte was a Chilean military officer who was the dictator of Chile. The Chile national football team, nicknamed La Roja, represents Chile in men's international football competitions and is controlled by the Federación de Fútbol de Chile.

Med mordet på Letelier har Pinochet trådt over stregen og forsøger nu at pudse sit rædselsregime af. Nationalstadionet i Santiago går fra torturcentral til koncertarena, hvor tusindvis jubler til den spanske crooner Julio Iglesias. For intet siger "alt er fint" som en stadionkoncert, vel? Men selvom torturen dæmpes, vinder Pinochet ikke folkets hjerter. Økonomisk krise og arbejdsløshed presser ham - og som kronen på værket venter intet mindre end et skæbnesvangert demokratisk valg lige om hjørnet.

Pinochet har fået, hvad han ville: Allende er død, og nu sidder han selv som Chiles præsident. Nu skal hans magt cementeres, og kommunisterne udryddes - og her får den ikke for lidt med likvideringer, tortur og brutale overgreb. Kreativiteten fejler da heller ingenting: Selv George Harrisons musik bliver et redskab i en grusom form for musiktortur. Selv uden for Chiles grænser er fjender af Pinochet ikke i sikkerhed. Men en dag i 1976 træder han over en helt særlig rød linje, der ændrer hans tyranni for altid. Tilrettelæggelse: Laura Skelgaard Paulsen og Nicholas Durup Thomsen. Fortæller: Nicholas Durup Thomsen.

I næsten 40 år har Augusto Pinochet loyalt arbejdet sig op i det chilenske militær. Stille og roligt er han nået næsten helt til tops. Og tæt på pensionsalderen udnævner Chiles socialistiske præsident Pinochet til øverstkommanderende for hæren - et valg, der virker ret sikkert. Men det viser sig hurtigt, at det valg bliver skæbnesvangert. Bare tre uger senere er Pinochet fuldstændig vendt på en tallerken. Al loyalitet til præsidenten er væk og nu står han i spidsen for et blodigt kup, der skal sætte ham selv på præsidentstolen. Tilrettelæggelse: Laura Skelgaard Paulsen og Nicholas Durup Thomsen.

I am so excited to say that my guest on the GWA Podcast is one of the most trailblazing artists and poets in the world right now, Cecilia Vicuna. Born in 1948 in Chile, and based between Santiago and New York, Vicuna is hailed for her works that are as ephemeral as they are permanent, colossal as they are minute, fragile as they are strong, that bring together sound, weaving, language, and community. Educated in Santiago in the 1960s, life took Vicuna to London to study at the Slade School of Art on a scholarship in the 1970s, but because of the Pinochet regime that began in 1973, she was forced to live in exile. Soon she went to Bogota, Colombia, before moving to New York City, where she has remained ever since, in the same loft and tending to the same community garden. Since Vicuna was a teen, she has focussed on a political orientation for her art, as she has said, because she “understood that the life of this planet was endangered”. Through artforms she calls “arte precario” – precious art – because it disappears and is vulnerable, Vicuna has held up a poignant mirror to our world through her installations that meld twigs, bamboo, stones, and shredded textiles. While they show us its beauty, they also convey its vulnerability: warning us about what will happen if we don't wake up in time to protect our ecosystems… At the heart of her art is language – specifically the quipu, which means knots in Quecha, a system of encoding information from the Andes – that conveys as much information as the alphabet – which was used for 5000 years, before being wiped out during colonisation… As well as the importance of togetherness. Because, in a world as destructive as ours we need more than ever to unite, to rebuild the planet for our future descendents, as she says, “not only for the survival of our species, but because it is joyful, fun, beautiful and delightful.” This November, I am excited to say that a new exhibition of Vicuna's work will open at Lehmann Maupin Gallery in NYC, featuring paintings that she has re-rendered from the 1970s, while on a trip to Bogota and Rio. Dazzling in hues of pinks and yellows, they explore the Yoruba Mythology that represents human or divine characteristics and concepts of nature, and I can't wait to find out more. https://www.lehmannmaupin.com/exhibitions –– THIS EPISODE IS GENEROUSLY SUPPORTED BY THE LEVETT COLLECTION: https://www.famm.com/en/ https://www.instagram.com/famm_mougins // https://www.merrellpublishers.com/9781858947037 Follow us: Katy Hessel: @thegreatwomenartists / @katy.hessel Sound editing by Lauren Armstrong Carter Music by Ben Wetherfield

Happy Monday! Sam speaks with Grace Blakeley, English economics & politics commentator, staff writer at Tribune, to discuss her recent book Vulture Capitalism: Corporate Crimes, Backdoor Bailouts, and the Death of Freedom. First, Sam runs through updates on the final 14 days before the US presidential election, Israel's ongoing assault on Palestine and potential pivot to Iran, environmental disaster in Cuba, Elon Musk's failures and fraud in his work alongside the Trump campaign, National Association of Letter Carriers' labor news, Tesla's regulatory problems, and the US economy, before diving a little deeper into the insanity of Elon Musk launching contrasting ad campaigns in Michigan attempting to stoke anti-Semitic and Islamophobic fears in Muslim and Jewish communities. Grace Blakeley then joins, first working to unpack the commonly accepted dichotomy between capitalism and a centrally-planned (socialist) economy, with the dystopia of socialism juxtaposed by liberalism's vision of free-market democracy, before wading into the problems and inaccuracies of this binary, namely the fact that liberalism's defining qualities (free-markets and democracy) don't apply to the existing capitalist societies of today (particularly the largest imperial powers like the US and UK), where wealth and political power are becoming increasingly concentrated in the hands of fewer and fewer elites, translating into what is essentially centrally-planned oligarchy. Blakeley steps back to walk through the evolution of capitalism to this point, tackling neoliberals' work to publically redefine a libertarian “free market” as a return to natural systems, while elites privately saw it as an explicit vision to protect corporate power amid rising social movements, establishing clear economic norms against anything that could threaten privatization, the free movement of capital, and low tax rates, while creating international institutions (backed by the West) to dole out punishment for any revolutionary states that sought to challenge them abroad, before touching on the contrasting work of a Keynesian vision – backed by the working class – that pushed the idea of a protective state and well-regulated markets, and exploring the major success this ideology had in bolstering the US labor movement of the mid-20th Century. Next, Grace walks Sam through the eventual success of neoliberal theory with the regimes of Pinochet, Thatcher, and Reagan in the late 1970s and early '80s, and their overwhelming work to crush and fragment the working class and social power that had bolstered the social and economic progress of the century to that point, setting the stage for the solidification of the oligarchies we see today. After briefly touching on the value of a return to a more Keynesian vision for economies, and the central importance of revitalizing working-class power, Berkeley wraps up the interview by exploring a few other visions for strong, democratic, and worker-led economies. And in the Fun Half: Sam unpacks Trump's most recent insult to workers (and whether that will even translate past the absurdity of it), and Elon Musk's ongoing fraudulent and stochastic canvassing work for the Trump campaign. Obama walks through Trump's extensive effort to undermine the US' capacity to respond to pandemics, and Jim Breuer does… something… but it's definitely racist. The MR Team also talks with John from TBurg about Ohio's Issue 1, Matt from Tennessee about the moral monstrosity that is Richie Torres, and Noah from Nashville on Harris and the Left, plus, your calls and IMs!

Situated on the Mediterranean, just a short distance from Spain and the rest of Europe, Morocco attracts tens of millions of tourists every year. They flock to see the iconic mosques and bazaars.  But there's another, much larger structure that you won't find in any tourist guides and is seldom talked about.  It's a 2700 kilometer long barrier wall constructed of dirt and brick that runs through the heart of the Sahara Desert.  And for the people living in its shadow, it's a symbol of an ongoing occupation and decades long period of oppression.  In this episode, I speak with Jacob Mundi, professor from Colgate University, an expert on the subject of Morocco's illegal decades long occupation of Western Sahara and the refugee crisis it created that now spans generations.  Guest: Prof. Jacob Mundy Links Western Sahara: War, Nationalism, and Conflict Irresolution Stephen Zunes, Jacob Mundy Jacob Mundy on violence in the Middle East If you found this topic interesting I have previously covered many of the subjects we mentioned in passing.

We travel to South America. In September 1973, Augusto Pinochet seizes power in Chile following a coup d'état. The aim is to topple the country's socialist president. And it succeeds.

And after that, how do he and his wife consolidate power, remaining in post for 17 long and bloody years? A Noiser production, written by Sean Coleman.
