This episode marks the 50th anniversary of Operation Condor's assassination program, codenamed "Teseo" (Theseus). Condor was the coordinated campaign of state-sponsored terror carried out by U.S.-backed military dictatorships in South America during the 1970s and early 1980s. Our guest is Peter Kornbluh, director of the Cuba and Chile documentation projects at the National Security Archive, who has spent decades uncovering declassified documents and accounts about this dark chapter. Kornbluh explains that Operation Condor was a transnational collaboration among the secret police forces of Southern Cone military regimes to share intelligence, track, kidnap, and assassinate their political opponents across borders and even around the world. The operation was formally established in November 1975, with Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet's secret police chief Manuel Contreras serving as the principal organizer. A particularly sinister component was Project Teseo, the assassination program established at a second meeting in Santiago in May 1976. Kornbluh describes declassified documents revealing the bureaucratic nature of this killing apparatus: monthly dues, membership fees, and detailed protocols for locating targets, carrying out assassinations, and escaping afterward. The most notorious Condor operation occurred on September 21, 1976, when a car bomb killed Orlando Letelier, Chile's former foreign minister under Salvador Allende, and his colleague Ronni Karpen Moffitt in Washington, D.C.'s Sheridan Circle—the worst act of foreign terrorism in Washington until September 11, 2001. Kornbluh details the complicated U.S. role in these events. The CIA helped create and train intelligence services like Chile's DINA. However, agency officials grew concerned about Condor's blowback potential. Nonetheless, Ford administration officials, particularly Henry Kissinger, pulled back diplomatic efforts that might have prevented the Letelier-Moffitt attack. The conversation traces how accountability eventually came—partially. The Carter administration's response was "demonstrably weak," undermined by bureaucracies protecting their relationships with Southern Cone security forces. Under Reagan, Pinochet initially served as an ally in Central American counterinsurgency, though some distancing came later. Kornbluh reflects on how this history was uncovered through FOIA requests, congressional investigations, and special declassifications ordered under Clinton and later Obama. The Teseo documents only emerged in 2018—more than forty years after the program's creation. The episode concludes with sobering parallels to today: Daniel Ortega's regime sending assassins to kill opponents, Venezuelan agents murdering a military officer in Chile, and the current U.S. administration's killings on the high seas. Kornbluh expresses hope that those committing current human rights atrocities will eventually face accountability, just as Contreras spent his final years in prison and Pinochet faced arrest in London and Santiago.
On retrouve avec un plaisir renouvelé l'écrivain Mauricio Ségura pour discuter de son excellent roman Les amandiers en fleurs, une construction narrative complexe qui aborde la visite d'Albert Camus au Chili à la fin des années 40 avec comme toile de fond, la dictature de Pinochet et la mémoire des femmes qui ont courageusement combattu la dictature là-bas et ici à Montréal et les traces laissées par ces combats sur leurs familles. C'est aussi le retour de la chronique de Maxime Laprise qui a (enfin) terminé son doctorat et qui a maintenant le temps de réfléchir aux discours apocalyptiques qui ont clairsemé l'histoire. Fred termine l'épisode avec une réflexion sur les épiceries publiques déjà fortement critiquées (Ô surprise) dans les médias traditionnels.

Après 5 jours en terre berruyère pour la 50ème édition du Printemps de Bourges, retour dans la capitale avec des films au programme, oui mais des films sur la musique. Rendez-vous à partir de jeudi au Reflet Medicis et à L'Arlequin, salles de la rive gauche bien connues des cinéphiles, pour le retour avec sa 9ème édition de FAME, le festival international de films sur la musique. Un pionnier mystérieux de la musique minimaliste, un portrait de Sun Ra avant qu'il ne monte à bord de sa Rocket Number Nine, des metalleuses norvégiennes… loin des hagiographies stéréotypées des plateformes et des plans marketing, FAME célèbre le documentaire tant dans son geste artistique que dans son intention de porter un témoignage autant culturel que sociétal ou historique sur l'époque. FAME c'est l'occasion de voir en images la scène alternative mondiale trop souvent confinée à l'underground. Aujourd'hui dans Place des Fêtes, je reçois les co-fondateurs de FAME, Benoît Hické et notre Olivier Forest national. On embarquera tout à l'heure pour l'île de la Réunion, en compagnie du musicien Rone et du réalisateur Valentin Paoli qui cherchent à parler aux baleines. Mais d'abord direction le Chili juste après la chute de la dictature de Pinochet.
Participation in bourgeois elections can only be useful for exposing the fraud of bourgeois parliamentarism, never for trying to use it to establish socialism. The Pinochet dictatorship did its level best to wipe out all traces of the Allende era of cultural flowering and political fervour – with some success. But it will not be lost on Chileans that the country has come full circle, and that a civilian neo-fascist has been able to walk into La Moneda palace rather than a general forcing his way in, hands dripping with blood.

Programa 07/04/26: Analizamos la crisis política que vive Perú a pocos días de que sus ciudadanos vayan a las urnas para elegir un nuevo presidente; Adriana Rivas, la exagente de la policía secreta de la dictadura militar de Pinochet, perdió su reciente apelación para evitar ser extraditada a Chile, tras histórico fallo del juez Michael Lee ante el Tribunal Federal de Sídney; te hablamos de la "economía de la indignación" en nuestra serie SBS Examines.
The New South Wales Federal Court held a two-day hearing this week in the case of Adriana Rivas, a Bondi nanny accused of taking part in the kidnapping and torture of seven people during Augusto Pinochet's dictatorship in Chile. - La Corte Federal de Nueva Gales del Sur celebró esta semana una audiencia de dos días en el caso de Adriana Rivas, ex agente de la DINA acusada de participar en el secuestro de siete personas durante la dictadura de Pinochet. El juez Michael Lee debe decidir si anula la orden de extradición dictada en agosto de 2024. El debate se centró en si los delitos imputados deben calificarse como secuestro agravado o como crímenes de lesa humanidad, una distinción con consecuencias legales decisivas para el proceso.
Un tribunal federal australiano retomó el lunes las audiencias de dos días en el caso de extradición de Adriana Rivas, exagente de Pinochet. La jornada estuvo marcada por debates técnicos sobre la calificación jurídica de los delitos imputados y por problemas de organización que obligaron al juez a suspender la sesión en dos ocasiones. Mientras la justicia australiana delibera, las familias de las víctimas siguen el proceso con expectativa, pero también con creciente preocupación por el nuevo escenario político en Chile bajo la presidencia de José Antonio Kast.
Here Be Dragons (Meditation 2): When God Says No—The Apophatic Way and the Church's Stripping Away Bishop Michael Hun of the Diocese of the Rio Grande reflects on the Episcopal Church's shift from mid-20th-century cultural confidence and institutional influence to a present season of decline, financial strain, and uncertainty, describing it as an apophatic “stripping away” in which familiar supports, plans, and programs fail and God seems to say “no.” He argues this is not a verdict of worthlessness but a clarification of vocation: willingness to follow Jesus without the future, security, or success once imagined, focusing instead on the people, place, and work actually given. Drawing cautious historical “rhymes” from the German church under Nazism and the Roman Catholic Church in Chile under Pinochet, he warns against trading the gospel for respectability, silence, or political co-option, and calls the church to speak publicly about bodies, violence, and justice while discerning how to proclaim gospel truth so people across a polarized spectrum can hear it.

Throughout its history the Labour left has been a key source of energy and ideas for the party – but left-right tensions have long been the cause of damaging divisions. What lessons does this story hold for today's left and the struggling Starmer government? Are they irreconcilable enemies - or can they ever work together? Guardian columnist Andy Beckett, author of When the Lights Went Out, Pinochet in Piccadily and The Searchers, a joint portrait of Labour mavericks Tony Benn, Ken Livingstone, John McDonnell, Diane Abbott and Jeremy Corbyn, was in conversation with journalist and novelist Melissa Benn, whose selection of her father Tony Benn's political writings The Most Dangerous Man in Britain? was recently published by Verso. In the chair was historian Florence Sutcliffe-Braithwaite, whose most recent book Women and the Miners' Strike, 1984-1985 is published by Oxford.
Hasan Piker's $1,383 Glasses & Code Pink's 5-Star Cuba Vacation EXPOSED | Wake Up America with Austin Petersen | March 23, 2026 650 left-wing activists just flew to Cuba on a "humanitarian mission" and checked into a five-star hotel — the only building on the island with electricity — while 11 million Cubans sat in 20-hour blackouts outside. Code Pink flew first class. Hasan Piker wore $1,383 Cartier sunglasses to a country where people earn $17 a month. Greta Thunberg — who called fossil fuels a "death sentence" in 2023 — is now demanding oil tankers be sent to Cuba. And a Chinese Communist Party-linked network funded the whole operation. Austin Petersen delivers the most comprehensive takedown of left-wing hypocrisy in recent memory — plus the secret JFK deal that kept the Cuban regime breathing for 64 years, the NBC poll showing the Democratic Party now polls worse than ICE and AI, and why the libertarian wave sweeping Latin America is the biggest story nobody in mainstream media is covering. ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Chile kippt nach rechts, nicht mit Kettensägengeknatter wie in Argentinien, aber genauso beharrlich. Der neue chilenische Präsident José Antonio Kast ist deutschstämmig, gläubig, mit Rechtspopulisten in aller Welt vernetzt und verspricht die eiserne Faust. Mutmacher Hajo Schumacher über ein Land, das sich von seiner letzten Dikatur noch nicht erholt hat. Bis in die 1990 Jahre bot Chile gruseligen Gestalten Unterschlupf: Da war der Altnazi Walther Rauff, Betreiber mobiler Gaskammern. Da war Paul Schäfer, sadistischer Sektenführer. Da war Chef-Folterer Miguel Krassnoff. Deutschland war oft dabei, ob in der Colonia Dignidad, mit dem BND oder der deutschen Botschaft. Die Aufarbeitung ist noch lange nicht erledigt. Und wird in den kommenden Jahren kaum vorangetrieben. Denn José Antonio Kast betrachtet die Verbrechen der Diktatur mit erschreckender Milde. Die Themen: Wie die Kast-Firmen in der Diktatur wuchsen. Wie Kast-Bruder Miguel mit den Chicago Boys das Land neoliberalisierte. Wie Pinochet-Leute zurück an die Macht gelangen. Warum der kalte Krieg bis heute geführt wird.

THIS WEEK IN CELTIC MUSIC 0:09 - Amelia Hogan "No Irish Need Apply" from Transplants: From the Old to the New 5:02 - WELCOME 8:14 - Dropkick Murphys "Who'll Stand With Us?" from For The People (Expanded Edition) 12:03 - Bealtaine "Worker's Song" from Factories & Mills, Shipyards & Mines Written by Ed Pickford in the mid-1970s as a direct response to arguments blaming Britain's economic woes on workers rather than the wealthy. That's a typical tactic that continues today. If we want free and fair elections, we will stop letting billionaires buy our politicians. The was first recorded by Scottish legend Dick Gaughan in 1981, it's been taken up by everyone from the Dropkick Murphys to The Longest Johns. 16:22 - Ed Miller "Blood upon the Grass" from Generations of Change In 1977, Scotland traveled to Chile to play a friendly match at the very stadium where, just four years earlier, Pinochet's regime had tortured and killed political prisoners after the 1973 coup. Back in Scotland, a powerful solidarity campaign urged the Scottish Football Association to pull their team from what would become known as the 'Match of Shame.' Folk singer Adam McNaughtan captured that outrage in his song 'Blood Upon the Grass,' and Edinburgh-born singer Ed Miller later recorded it on his album Generations of Change — keeping this powerful story alive for new generations. 19:16 - Black 47 "San Patricio Brigade" from Rise Up and The Secret World of Celtic Rock 24:18 - FEEDBACK The Great Hunger in Ireland took place from 1845 to 1852. Irish immigrants migrated to the U.S. They were treated as second-class citizens. There are still newspapers that refer to them as lazy and criminals, thus the "No Irish Need Apply" song at the start of the show. These were hungry people. They were just looking for opportunities in a new land. Much like the immigrants of today. But they too were treated inhumanely. They were demonized. So when the Mexican-American War broke out from 1846-1848, many Irish looked at how poorly they were treated in America. They found greater kinship to their Catholic cousins in Mexico. That's why the Saint Patrick's Battalion was formed. Interestingly, it wasn't just Irish Catholics. There were Catholics from throughout Europe in the battalion including: German, Canadian, English, French, Italian, Polish, Scottish, Spanish, Swiss and Mexican. These were people who were attacked and belittled for their culture and their faith. It should serve as a warning and a reminder for all of us today. 30:04 - David Rovics "St. Patrick Battalion" from Historic Times 32:58 - Wild Colonial Bhoys "Dying Rebel" from Century A song that reflects on the human cost of rebellion rather than the glorification of the conflict and the martyrdom of its leaders. Here's what history keeps teaching us. People don't start out wanting to fight. They start out wanting to be heard. On January 30, 1972, in Derry, Northern Ireland, somewhere between ten and fifteen thousand people joined a peaceful civil rights march. They weren't armed. They were protesting the British government's policy of locking people up without trial. Sort of like what's happening in America now. British paratroopers opened fire. Thirteen people were killed. Fourteen others were wounded. The incident caused widespread anger and led to a surge in IRA recruitment. The argument was simple and devastating: peaceful protest could no longer achieve change. I hope to God America never comes to that. But peaceful protesters were murdered in Minneapolis. I lost a fan because I took my kids to a peaceful No Kings Protest last summer. When the state fires on and demonizes its own people, it doesn't end the resistance. It just changes its shape. That's the lesson history keeps trying to teach us. I hope we don't need to learn that the hard way. So please keep peacefully protesting 37:46 - BREAK 39:10 - Eddie Biggins "The Rising of the Moon" from Hey, I'm Singing Over Here! 41:29 - The Haar "Óró Sé Do Bheatha' Bhaile" from The Lost Day "Óró sé do bheatha abhaile" sounds like a joyful welcome song — and once, it was. The original Irish tune dates back centuries, used to greet returning chieftains and even Bonnie Prince Charlie. But the version we know today is something altogether fiercer. Around 1910, Patrick Pearse — poet, teacher, and revolutionary — rewrote the lyrics. He replaced the old imagery with a new vision: Gráinne Mhaol, the legendary 16th century pirate queen, sailing home with soldiers to drive the English from Ireland. Pearse was executed after the 1916 Easter Rising. And his words lived on. The song became a rallying cry, a promise that resistance wasn't finished, that Ireland would be free. That's why it's still sung today. Not as nostalgia, but as defiance. Every generation that lifts their voice in this song is answering Pearse's call across more than a hundred years. 48:04 - Marc Gunn & The Dubliners' Tabby Cats "Patriot Game" from Irish Drinking Songs: The Cat Lover's Companion In my opinion, "Patriot Game" is one of the best Irish rebel songs ever written. It cuts deeper than most rebel songs because it doesn't glorify. It questions. It was written by Dominic Behan in 1961. The song is based on the true story of Fergal O'Hanlon, an IRA volunteer killed during a 1957 border raid in County Fermanagh. He was just nineteen years old. But Behan wasn't writing a hero's ballad. He was writing a warning. The song is sung in the voice of a young man who died for a cause he barely understood. Seduced by romantic notions of patriotism before he had the wisdom to weigh the cost. That's the same as putting the party over the country. Our politicians have fallen into that trap. So I want to ask you to reach out to your representatives. Tell them you've had enough of this insanity. 51:12 - THANKS Back in December, I got an email from Troy of The Secret Commonwealth. He was letting me know about a man who's been part of his community for over 40 years. His friend is being held by ICE for nearly a year. His friend is hospitalized with a serious infection and awaiting heart surgery, all while being denied adequate medical care and due process. He suffers from a cracked vertebra and a history of cardiac issues, yet remains in unsanitary conditions with limited access to clean water or medical attention. My friend said, 'I'm feeling pretty damn rebellious right now,' and honestly, I am too. I'm also sad that I didn't bring this to your attention sooner, especially in the wake of the murders of Renee Good and Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis back in Janaury. These are not abstract political issues. These are real people, real families, real communities torn apart. This next song feels like the right response. 'Till Jamie Comes Hame' features traditional words sometimes credited to Robert Burns, with music written by Rob Campbell of the band. And today, it's for everyone waiting for someone to come home. 58:35 - The Secret Commonwealth "Til Jamie Comes Hame" from Last Call 1:02:45 - Redhill Rats "White, Orange and Green" from Some Heroes 1:06:37 - Scythian "Follow Me Up to Carlow" from Immigrant Road Show 1:10:06 - House Of Hamill "Pound A Week Rise" from MARCH THROUGH STORMS 1:14:12 - Medusa's Wake "War of Independence" from War of Independence 1:17:37 - CLOSING "The World Turned Upside Down" was written in 1975, but it reaches back to 1649 — and maybe even further than that. Leon Rosselson based the song on the Diggers, a radical movement in England led by Gerrard Winstanley. After the English Civil War, they began farming common land, declaring simply that the earth belonged to everyone. Not to kings. Not to landlords. Not to those who had seized it by force and called it theirs. They were destroyed for that idea. But here's something worth sitting with. The Irish language doesn't have a word for "to have." You cannot own anything in Irish. Instead, things exist in relationship with you. A book is at you. Hunger is on you. Joy is on you. Even land. Not mine. Just... with me for now. That's not just a quirk of grammar. It's a completely different way of seeing the world. One where ownership itself is the strange idea. The foreign concept. This the idea that declaring land your private property is an act of violence against everyone else. The Diggers lost. The language nearly did too. But both survived. And this song is proof that the idea refuses to die. 1:20:18 - Melanie Gruben "The World Turned Upside Down" from Like a Tide Upon the Land 1:22:37 - CREDITS Support for this program comes from International speaker, Joseph Dumond, teaching the ancient roots of the Gaelic people.

In this episode of Memory, Evidence, Change, our host speaks with Dr. Lisa DiGiovanni about her book Militarized Masculinity in Spain and Chile: Remembering Violence through Film and Literature. Dr. DiGiovanni explores how gender, militarism, and authoritarian power intersect in dictatorial regimes, and how film and literature help us understand the cultural forces that sustain violence. Drawing on feminist theory, historical analysis, and visual storytelling, she explains the concept of militarized masculinity and its role in shaping political repression under the Franco and Pinochet regimes. The conversation also examines how memory, media, and critical analysis can help us recognize patterns of violence and better understand the roots of authoritarianism in both past and present contexts. This episode highlights the importance of interdisciplinary research—and the power of storytelling—to deepen our understanding of genocide, political violence, and the ongoing struggle for justice and human rights.

As we move towards Total Systemic Change, shifting from the death cult of predatory capitalism towards a future we'd actually be proud to leave behind, our absolute baseline non-negotiable foundations must be Clean Air, Clean Water, Clean Soil. We talk a lot about regenerative agriculture on this podcast, and how we can rebuild living soils from the inert growing media we've created in the hellscapes of Industrial Agriculture. One day, we'll talk about Clean Air. Today, we're talking about water, that utterly essential part of our biological and spiritual lives. It should be clean. It should be safe to drink, to swim in, for us and all the species with whom we share our beautiful blue pearl of a watery planet. As we all know… it's not. It's not because our system values profit over the vibrancy of life. It's not because people in suits have found that if they treat our rivers as open sewers and our oceans as waste dumps they can get away with it. It's not because for too long, we've believed the stories that say there is no alternative and this is the way the world has to be. But the masks are coming off and activism is increasingly being seen as an act of radical, necessary resistance that can bring people together, bridging across the false, toxic cultural divides that the establishment creates so that we fight ourselves instead of working towards a world founded on different values. The push for clean water is one of the most unifying drives we have. It doesn't matter where you are on the political spectrum, you don't vote for sewage to be poured into the rivers, for the dead zones in the oceans to grow and join up, for the rain to be full of forever toxins so that some suit in a company C-suites can buy themselves a new private jet and an invitation to Jeffrey Epstein's private parties. In the UK, we're in an almost unique position because back in the 80s, Margaret Thatcher saw Pinochet privatising the water and sewage companies in Chile and decided this was a fine idea and imported it wholesale to the UK. Our water and sewage companies were privatised at a steal in 1989 and pretty much everyone is agreed this is an incredibly bad idea. Except successive governments. So people got together and formed their own activist groups based around the rivers near them - there's always at least one - and they are conducting citizen science, holding people's assemblies and generally making enough of a nuisance of themselves that those in power have to take notice. All this being the case, it's World Water Day on March 22nd every year and this year - we're recording in 2026 for those of you who listen years later - we're talking to Claire Kirby co-founder of Up Sewage Creek and a member of the Sewage Campaign Network. I first met Claire when my last dog was young - so nearly 20 years ago. She has a degree in Environmental Science from King's College London and then went on to become a Pet Behaviour Specialist who used to run rather wonderful puppy training classes. In 2020, following an episode of this podcast, she undertook a training with Trust the People and went on to co-found Up Sewage Creek, an activist group based around the River Severn in Shrewsbury on the borders between England and Wales. More recently, she has become an active part of the Sewage Campaign Network and is actively campaigning against the latest Government White Paper on the Water Industry which as much of a greenwash/whitewash as you'd expect. This was a lively conversation, a lot of it focussed on the situation in England, mainly because we live here and it's pretty bad. But wherever you are in the world, you have water somewhere near you and I guarantee it's not clean - and there will be people around you who care that it become cleaner. Clearly if you're in a war zone, even if it's an as-yet undeclared civil war, this is not your highest priority and I really do want to honour the people of Minnesota, Maine and Oregon who are taking to the streets in freezing weather to face the Terrorist gangs unleashed by the US government. You have other things to think about than the quality of your water, though not far away in Flint, Michigan, there is one of the most egregious failures of local politics ever to express itself in the quality of the water, so this is clearly a universal problem. We each do what we can. For those of us not facing pepper spray, uniting our communities so that nobody is ever prepared to join up to the government's shock troops might be the front line. If testing water is your thing, please do it. And to find out how and why to connect and converge, let's talk to Claire Kirby of Up Sewage Creek.

For the first time in history, multiple countries have jointly nominated a candidate for UN Secretary General. Earlier this week, Brazil, Chile, and Mexico endorsed Michelle Bachelet—a former president of Chile, former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and a survivor of brutal repression under the Pinochet regime. The move is unprecedented—and potentially transformative. What does it signal about the race to replace António Guterres, and how soon might more rival candidates emerge? Anjali and Mark unpack what this coordinated nomination reveals about shifting power dynamics inside the UN. They then turn to the latest Epstein document dump, which has ensnared several prominent diplomats and sent shockwaves through the diplomatic world. Finally, they confront a looming institutional crisis: the UN's cash reserves are so depleted that even the viability of this year's UNGA is now being called into question.

Are we seeing the emergence of a new conjuncture for urbanism? The final part of our mini series asks whether authoritarian neoliberalism has created the conditions for a more illiberal and distinct type of urban governance . Authoritarianism is not new to neoliberalism – the Pinochet regime, Thatcherism in the UK – these were evidently authoritarian and neoliberal, and given crises and stagnation it is no surprise to see these tendencies re-animated. But is something more also happening? The high point of neoliberal hegemony was associated with the development of technocratic, often obscure, market systems as well as notions of ‘sustainable development and even at times ‘participation' and ‘consensus' even if these were highly circumscribed. When we look at some new urban projects today, and those envisaged by leading powers, there seems to be less room for both markets, preventing climate breakdown or ‘woke' notions of democracy and instead a more naked focus on iconoclastic real estate projects regardless of the social and ecological cost. The episode is hosted by Gareth Fearn with guests Jason Luger, Miklós Dürr, Aysegul Can and Oksana Zaporozhets. This episode is one of a three-part series which cover different aspects of ‘authoritarian neoliberal urbanism', based on a special issue in the Urban Studies Journal edited by Guldem Ozatagan, Gareth Fearn and Ayda Eraydin.
On December 14, hard-right candidate José Antonio Kast was elected as Chile's president with over 58% of the vote. Kast built his campaign around the promise of expelling undocumented migrants and has been called the “Trump of Chile.” On today's show, host Allen Ruff is joined by journalist Nyki Duda to talk about the political history of Chile and what led to the election of Kast. Duda says that what makes Kast different from other far-right leaders like Trump or Bolsonaro, is that he developed his career within the institutional Right in Chile. His father was a member of the German Nazi Party who fled Europe to avoid accountability for his crimes. Kast's father established himself within the landed gentry outside of Santiago and, with Kast's brother, was involved in a series of murders around the 1973 coup. Kast's other brother was one of the “Chicago boys” who implemented neoliberalism in Chile. Kast has never renounced his family's crimes and is poised to be the most right-wing leader Chile has seen since the Pinochet dictatorship, says Duda. There was a time in the 90s when Chile was seen as a model of democracy and economic growth in Latin America coming off the repressive regimes of the 60s, 70s, and 80s. But that dream has not come to pass. Duda describes the legacy of Pinochet-era “anti-terror” laws and attempts to rewrite the dictatorship-era constitution and the media misinformation campaign against the draft of a new constitution that would have created plurinational status for Indigenous tribes and introduced rights of the environment. Duda also discusses the 2019 student protests and the violent government backlash, including the case of Nicolás Piña. Nyki Duda is an editor at Al Jazeera digital and researcher at Lead Stories. As a freelance journalist, she covers migration, social movements and far-right politics. Her writing has appeared in Truthout, Jacobin, In These Times and more.

Après l'enlèvement sidérant du président vénézuélien Nicolas Maduro par les États-Unis, quelle influence Washington pourrait avoir dans la campagne électorale en Colombie cette année ? Yann Basset, professeur de Sciences Politiques à l'Université du Rosario, à Bogota, est l'invité de RFI. La Colombie vit ces derniers mois au rythme des menaces de Donald Trump. Après avoir fait enlever Nicolas Maduro au Venezuela, le président américain a menacé le président Gustavo Petro. Avant cela, le locataire de la Maison Blanche avait déjà accusé son homologue colombien de liens avec le trafic de drogue. Il a ensuite semblé adoucir son discours : les deux dirigeants se sont parlé au téléphone le 7 janvier 2026. Les Colombiens sont tout de même inquiets, pour certains, d'un nouveau revirement du président américain à l'avenir, témoignent-ils au micro de notre correspondante en Colombie, Najet Benrabaa. Avant les élections législatives (8 mars 2026) et présidentielle (31 mai 2026), l'appel entre les deux hommes apparaît tout de même comme un signe d'apaisement qui pourrait temporairement « mettre en veille » la question du rôle des États-Unis dans la campagne, estime Yann Basset, professeur de Sciences Politiques à l'Université du Rosario à Bogota. « Cela peut montrer que Gustavo Petro est capable d'une bonne gestion des relations internationales, ou en tout cas qu'il est plus raisonnable que ne le dépeint la droite », poursuit-il. La sécurité reste néanmoins l'un des enjeux centraux de la campagne. « Gustavo Petro avait promis une "paix totale", qui a largement échoué, car les groupes armés ont profité des négociations pour se renforcer, notamment à proximité de la frontière avec le Venezuela », rappelle le chercheur. Chili: dénouement judiciaire pour un manifestant rendu aveugle Gustavo Gatica. Ce nom ne vous dit peut-être rien, mais il est bien connu au Chili : en 2019, cet étudiant a été rendu totalement aveugle par des tirs de billes de plomb des forces de l'ordre. Les Chiliens manifestaient alors contre la hausse du prix des transports publics et contre les inégalités sociales héritées de la dictature de Pinochet. Six ans après, l'ancien policier a été acquitté définitivement, lit-on en Une du quotidien conservateur El Mercurio. Il a été reconnu comme auteur des tirs mais considéré comme en état de légitime défense, précise le site CiperChile. Car Gustavo Gatica a été filmé en train de jeter une pierre en direction de la police un peu plus tôt. Ce jugement est « un triomphe historique », se félicite Claudio Crespo, l'ancien membre des forces de l'ordre, cité par radio Bío Bío. À la sortie du tribunal à Santiago, sur un ton offensif, il en a profité pour apporter son « soutien » aux policiers qui, dit-il, devront « faire face à la barbarie et à l'insurrection » ces prochains mois, car il anticipe des manifestations contre le nouveau président d'extrême-droite José Antonio Kast, qui prendra ses fonctions début mars 2026. Gustavo Gatica, lui, sera dans l'opposition. Il vient d'être élu député indépendant. Il regrette « qu'une personne qui a rendu aveugle un citoyen » ne soit pas sanctionnée par de la prison, précise le journal La Tercera. Plus de 450 personnes ont été blessées aux yeux, rendues aveugles ou éborgnées lors des manifestations de la fin 2019 au Chili. Dans le journal de La 1ère... En Martinique, cela fait trois jours que les bus du TCSP sont « à l'arrêt » entre Le Lamentin et Fort-de-France, explique Benoît Ferrand, d'Outre-Mer La 1ère.

Chile has just elected its most extreme far-right president since the Pinochet dictatorship. José Antonio Kast won the December 14 runoff by a commanding margin — a stunning reversal in a country that in 2019 experienced a massive social uprising over the unaffordability of life and extreme inequality. The social revolt ended with the pandemic lockdown, but the following year a broad leftist coalition swept into power, electing the 34-year-old former radical student leader Gabriel Boric, whose government promised to bury neoliberalism once and for all. How did Chile move so quickly from an anti-neoliberal social rebellion to the return of the hard right? Was this a vote for authoritarianism — or a vote against insecurity, inflation, and political stalemate? What does Kast's victory tell us about the global resurgence of the far right, from Latin America to Europe and the United States? Suzi examines Chile's political reversal with two Chilean analysts: Oscar Mendoza explains this electoral shift by looking at the failed constitutional process, the role of mandatory voting, media panic over crime and immigration, and the institutional constraints Kast will face in office. Pablo Abufom situates Kast's victory in a longer historical trajectory, arguing that this is the first democratic government of pinochetismo — a project combining authoritarian neoliberalism, moral conservatism and anticommunism, now aligned with a global far-right resurgence. Jacobin Radio with Suzi Weissman features conversations with leading thinkers and activists, with a focus on labor, the economy, and protest movements.

Political analysts say José Antonio Kast is capable of reviving a long-suppressed Pinochetist current in Chilean politics. They warn that decades after the dictatorship, inadequate education about its violence, repression, and human rights violations has created fertile ground for its return. Alex goes over his many concerns.

Tommy and Ben discuss the horrific Bondi Beach terror attack, the rise of antisemitism in Australia, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's bad-faith attempt to connect Australia's recognition of a Palestinian state to this violence, and the perpetrators potentially training in the Philippines. They also talk about the US seizure of a Venezuelan oil tanker and how it fits into President Trump's creep towards regime change, Chile's election of the most right-wing President since Pinochet and Trump gleefully taking credit, questions about why US troops are still in Syria after the death of two US soldiers, pro-democracy advocate Jimmy Lai's conviction in Hong Kong, a proposed policy to check the social media accounts of visitors to the US, the death of Jared Kushner's corrupt hotel deal in Serbia, and highlights from episode 2 of The Liz Truss Show. Then, Ben speaks to Zanny Minton Beddoes, Editor-in-Chief of The Economist, about global shifts to watch for in 2026.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

The winner of Chile's presidential election, José Antonio Kast, is the son of a German Nazi official. He is a US-backed far-right extremist who loves Donald Trump, Israel, and fascist former dictator August Pinochet. He is also very anti-China, and will assist in Washington's attempt to impose its imperialist Monroe Doctrine. Ben Norton explains.

Nieves Concostrina habla de la figura de Augusto Pinochet.
In recent weeks, the U.S. has bombed multiple alleged Venezuelan “drug boats” at sea, killing at least 21 people without providing any clear evidence that they were involved in drug trafficking or linked to the government in Caracas. The U.S. has also increased its military footprint in the Caribbean and placed a $50 million bounty on President Nicolás Maduro for information leading to his arrest for narcotrafficking. This is part of the Trump administration's plan to destablize Venezuela and dominate the region. In our latest, we talk with Dr. Rodrigo Acuña about Trump's war on Venezuela. We also discuss his new film "Venezuela:The Cost of Challenging Empire."Bio//Rodrigo Acuña (@rodrigoac7) works as an independent journalist on Latin America and for the NSW Department of Education. He has been writing on Latin American politics for close to twenty years. He has recently produced the new documentary "Venezuela: The Cost of Challenging Empire" with journalist Nic Ford. ——

On today's episode, Lawfare Managing Editor Tyler McBrien sits down with Philippe Sands, a professor of law at the University of London and the Samuel Pisar Visiting Professor at Harvard Law School to discuss his new book, “38 Londres Street: On Impunity, Pinochet in England, and a Nazi in Patagonia.”They discuss the intertwined stories of Chilean dictator Augusto Pinochet and Nazi SS commander Walther Rauff, his uncanny personal connections to those stories, how Pinochet's arrest and the subsequent legal battle over his extradition changed international criminal law, and how writing the book informed his thinking on the U.S. Supreme Court's immunity ruling in Trump v. United States.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
