Eric Hobsbawm (1917–2012) was one of the foremost European intellectuals of the twentieth century. He published hundreds of articles on modern history and culture, and his books became canonical works and bestsellers on both sides of the Atlantic. His crystal-clear writing, vast erudition, and ability to make his Marxist analysis digestible to a wide audience brought him worldwide renown. Yet Hobsbawm was no academic hermit. Through his globetrotting journalism, he was embedded in an extraordinary web of politicians, activists, and fellow intellectuals across Europe, South Asia, and the Americas, including Manmohan Singh, Che Guevara, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Fernand Braudel, E. P. Thompson, Arno Mayer, and Salvador Allende.  In The Age of Hobsbawm: The Life of a Revolutionary Historian (Harvard University Press, 2026), Emile Chabal traces the origins of Hobsbawm's ideas and most famous writings by exploring his scholarly foundations, delving deep into the archives to uncover hidden links and unexpected conversations that shaped his pathbreaking work. Going well beyond the Ages series of modern history books for which Hobsbawm is best known, Chabal offers the first substantial interpretation of Hobsbawm's entire body of writing. Indeed, The Age of Hobsbawm is also a trove of unique insights into the generations of Marxist writers with whom Hobsbawm was in conversation—authors whose work continues to shape political debates globally.

Siguen las lluvias en gran parte del país  Detienen a 'La Patrona', extranjera ligada a red internacional de cocaínaVenden la casa de Salvador Allende en Chile #grc

Dans ce quartier de la capitale, Port-au-Prince, certains riverains qui avaient fui la violence des gangs reviennent chez eux, épuisés par les conditions de vie très difficiles dans les camps de déplacés. Mais la zone n'est pas encore totalement repassée sous le contrôle des forces de sécurité. Des habitants abandonnés face aux gangs Derrière ces retours, se cache une inquiétude majeure : la sécurité. Les habitants disent vouloir retrouver leur quartier, mais réclament d'abord des garanties pour pouvoir y vivre et circuler librement. En l'absence d'un contrôle total de l'État, des brigades d'autodéfense tentent de maintenir une présence dans certaines zones. Les organisations de défense des droits humains alertent sur les risques auxquels s'exposent des habitants qui regagnent une zone où l'autorité de l'État reste limitée. « Le retour des populations déplacées ne constitue pas une victoire sécuritaire. Il s'agit plutôt d'un abandon orchestré. Aujourd'hui, la population qui regagne ces zones fait face à une double menace : d'un côté, la terreur des groupes armés et, de l'autre, les exécutions sommaires qui pourraient être perpétrées lors des opérations de ratissage menées par les forces de l'ordre », craint Darbenski Gilbert, de l'Ordre des défenseurs des droits humains.   Chili : craintes de privatisation du géant du cuivre Codelco Ce lundi 10 août 2026, le gouvernement chilien d'extrême-droite a annoncé que pour la première fois de l'histoire du pays, le géant public du cuivre Codelco pourra garder dans ses caisses 100% de ses bénéfices engrangés en 2025, afin de diminuer sa dette de réinvestir cet argent dans l'entreprise. Le chiffre exact du manque à gagner pour le budget du pays n'a pas été dévoilé, mais ces bénéfices s'élevaient à 2,4 milliards de dollars l'an dernier (2025). Le cuivre est la principale richesse du pays (plus de la moitié de ses exportations) et Codelco contribue fortement au budget de l'État. Cette décision intervient deux semaines après qu'Arturo Squella, sénateur et chef de file du Parti Républicain (le parti du président d'extrême-droite José Antonio Kast) a dit dans une interview que privatiser l'entreprise publique du cuivre devait être la prochaine étape pour le gouvernement. La déclaration a suscité de nombreuses critiques et a finalement été démentie par le ministre de l'Économie et des Mines. Elle suscite toutefois des craintes chez certains syndicats de mineurs. Codelco est issue de la nationalisation du cuivre décidée sous la présidence du socialiste Salvador Allende, renversé par un coup d'État militaire en 1973. Cette politique était le symbole de la réappropriation par les Chiliens de leurs ressources naturelles, qui devaient contribuer à financer des services publics comme l'école ou la santé.

Des parlementaires du Parti national libertarien, proches de la coalition du président d'extrême-droite José Antonio Kast, demandent au dirigeant du pays la création d'un Musée « de la vérité ». Il s'agirait, selon eux, de commémorer les « victimes » du gouvernement socialiste de Salvador Allende entre 1970 et 1973, juste avant le coup d'État militaire.   Il existe bien à Santiago du Chili un Musée de la mémoire et des droits humains : un grand bâtiment contemporain couleur bronze, proche du centre historique de la capitale. On y trouve de nombreux témoignages et archives des crimes commis sous la dictature du général Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990), qui a fait plus de 3 000 morts. Pourtant, ce musée serait incomplet, selon certains élus d'extrême-droite qui voudraient créer un autre lieu présentant leur propre version de l'histoire.  Pénuries Sept parlementaires d'ultra-droite, membres du Parti national libertarien, ont présenté en juin une résolution demandant au président d'extrême-droite José Antonio Kast (au pouvoir depuis mars) la création d'un Musée « de la vérité ». Ces élus défendent l'idée selon laquelle le coup d'État militaire était justifié et nécessaire, et souhaitent dénoncer « les abus, la famine ainsi que l'humiliation » qu'auraient subi des millions de Chiliens pendant ces trois années où la coalition de gauche, l'Unité Populaire, gouvernait le pays après avoir accédé démocratiquement au pouvoir en 1970, et avant d'être déstabilisée puis renversée par un coup d'État soutenu par la CIA. Pourtant, explique la correspondante de RFI à Santiago, il ne sera pas question dans ce musée de l'ingérence des États-Unis au Chili. « Il s'agira d'un musée concernant l'histoire des Chiliens, pas celle des États-Unis, se défend Paulina Muñoz, l'une des élues à l'origine de la proposition. Il y aura des témoignages, des documents mais à travers le regard des Chiliens », sans plus de contexte, confirme-t-elle, jointe par Naïla Derroisné.   Intervention des États-Unis « Comprendre la période de l'Unité Populaire sans considérer le contexte interaméricain me parait très compliqué. Car de nombreux événements ayant eu lieu pendant cette période,  comme par exemple les pénuries, ont été le fruit d'interventions nord-américaines. L'utilisation de l'Histoire par la droite chilienne souffre d'un manque de méthodologie, estime Camila Gatica, professeure assistante au département des Sciences Historiques de l'Université du Chili. De plus, penser qu'il n'existe qu'une seule vérité et qu'elle est statique, me parait très problématique. Tout comme parler des pénuries alimentaires sans mentionner le programme de nutrition infantile instauré par l'Unité Populaire.»   Au Panama, des habitants manifestent contre un barrage destiné à alimenter le canal « Non au barrage », voilà ce qu'on pouvait lire notamment sur les banderoles de manifestants dans la capitale panaméenne ce lundi 3 août 2026. Près de 300 personnes s'y sont réunies, notamment des habitants et paysans, riverains du fleuve Indio, où doit être construit un barrage pour créer un lac artificiel destiné à alimenter le canal de Panama, menacé par la sécheresse. Les habitants, qui seront expropriés, se sentent trahis par l'État et dénoncent aussi le déplacement des tombes de leurs ancêtres enterrés dans huit cimetières qui se trouvent dans l'emprise du futur barrage.

Ces deux mots ont été scandés par tous les supporters haïtiens lors de la Coupe du monde de football masculin 2026. À l'origine, ordre militaire de l'armée coloniale française, la phrase « Grenadiers à l'assaut » a été détournée par des esclaves en armes, il y a plus de deux siècles. Pendant la guerre d'indépendance, elle devient un cri pour tenir bon et avancer malgré tout. La mémoire de la Révolution a toujours été mobilisée dans la culture populaire haïtienne. « Les Haïtiens ont toujours eu un attachement très romantique, presque épique, à leur histoire. Le football n'est que le terrain d'expression de ce patriotisme », explique le géographe Jean-Marie Théodat, de l'université Paris 1 Panthéon-Sorbonne, interviewé par Léonie Magro del Baño.  Avec la qualification d'Haïti pour sa première Coupe du monde en 52 ans, plus d'une vingtaine de chansons ont vu le jour en quelques semaines, au pays comme dans la diaspora.

The 2026 World Cup has finished and the final two teams, Spain and Argentina, have stirred up old notions of what we call soft power. Sports play a large role in how countries display their soft power, but it can often be confused for cooperation. Indeed all power is contested and soft power is no exception, and the contest is clear when two national teams meet in a sports contest. Examples of soft power interactions in sports include the US beating the USSR in hockey in the 1980 Winter Games or the Soviets defeating the US in basketball at the 1972 Olympics during the height of the Cold War. No sport, however, garners more international interest than soccer (or what the rest of the world calls football). Our guests have written a new book that defines the Cold War rivalry through the lens of ten historic soccer matches. The book is called Cold War Football: A history in Ten matches.

La familia de Paulina Gálvez huyó desde España hasta Francia cuando comenzó la guerra civil española. A partir de allí, huyendo de las represalias por ser republicanos, huyeron a Chile. Pero entonces llegó el golpe contra el presidente Salvador Allende y tuvieron que decidir una vez más si quedarse en el país que habían elegido para vivir o volver a una España donde aún gobernaba la dictadura por la que tuvieron que exiliarse.

En este episodio de Interesante historia viajamos a la década de 1970, diez años marcados por el fin de la guerra de Vietnam, el escándalo de Watergate, la crisis del petróleo y el ascenso de dictaduras militares en América Latina, incluyendo los golpes de Estado en Chile y Argentina y el terror del Plan Cóndor.  Recorremos también los desastres naturales más devastadores del decenio, como el terremoto de Áncash y el alud de Yungay en 1970, el terremoto de Lima de 1974, el ciclón Bhola, el terremoto de Managua de 1972 y el terremoto de Guatemala de 1976; además de hitos científicos y culturales que definieron la época: la música disco, la muerte de grandes leyendas del rock, el nacimiento del primer bebé por fertilización in vitro y la elección del papa Juan Pablo II.  Un episodio imprescindible para comprender cómo los años setenta transformaron la política, la sociedad y la cultura a nivel mundial, con especial atención a la historia de América Latina.

Fredo es tan solo un adolescente cuando estalla el golpe militar de Pinochet en Chile en 1973. En una mañana, las bombas acaban con un futuro que se anunciaba brillante y con las promesas de Salvador Allende. Con la represión y la persecución, el adolescente abandona Santiago, cruza la Cordillera y comienza un largo camino hacia el exilio. Esta historia es la de Alfredo Pena-Vega, sin serlo totalmente. Se trata de una novela, publicada por la editorial Atlande: Mis noches de exilio. Alfredo Pena-Vega construyó su vida en Francia y participó en la vida intelectual del país de la mano del filósofo Edgar Morin. Pero, el sociólogo en la Escuela de Altos Estudios en Ciencias Sociales (EHESS) y Director científico del Programa internacional Pacto de jóvenes por el clima no había contado esta historia. Si lo hace ahora y recurriendo a la ficción es porque “estamos en un momento preocupante, no solamente en Europa, sino también en Latinoamérica y en otros continentes”, explica.   “Preocupante porque las democracias están vacilando y la palabra vacilar queda corta”, y es por ello que el autor estima fundamental volver a la memoria. El segundo motivo es poner el foco en los adolescentes víctimas del pinochetismo, suyas historias han quedado en la sombra; “la adolescencia es un punto ciego de lo que se ha contado sobre la dictadura de Pinochet”.  Alfredo Pena-Vega recuerda que cuando empezó a investigar sobre estas adolescencias en dictadura se percató de que no había “ningún escrito sobre los jóvenes adolescentes”. “Para mí era importante contar esta historia porque se sabe muy poco de la represión de los jóvenes adolescentes en Chile. Hoy en día hay todavía más de 100 y pocos jóvenes desaparecidos. Y en el relato que yo cuento son jóvenes entre 14 y 16 años, que no tuvieron un relato”, agrega.  La historia de Fredo, retrato de una adolescencia marcada por la dictadura Fredo es un adolescente cursando la secundaria cuando estalla el golpe de estado. Aunque él y sus compañeros son muy jóvenes ya están muy politizados, muchos adhieren al proyecto “utópico” de Allende pero otros se alinean con los ideales de la dictadura. Al encontrarse en el campo de los perseguidos a partir del 11 de septiembre de 1973, Fredo tiene que crecer rápido. La experiencia carcelaria a la par de adultos le deja una profunda melancolía, así como la obligación de abandonar su trayectoria escolar. Una vida de errancia y exilio La primera etapa del exilio lo lleva a Argentina, pero pronto debe huir nuevamente cuando la represión alcanza también ese país. Al mismo tiempo, otro régimen militar comienza a gestarse. Los refugiados chilenos quedan especialmente expuestos y vulnerables. Con apenas recursos, marcado por el miedo y el hambre, llega a Brasil, un país que parece ofrecer refugio pero que pronto revela sus propios peligros.

Fredo es tan solo un adolescente cuando estalla el golpe militar de Pinochet en Chile en 1973. En una mañana, las bombas acaban con un futuro que se anunciaba brillante y con las promesas de Salvador Allende. Con la represión y la persecución, el adolescente abandona Santiago, cruza la Cordillera y comienza un largo camino hacia el exilio. Esta historia es la de Alfredo Pena-Vega, sin serlo totalmente. Se trata de una novela, publicada por la editorial Atlande: Mis noches de exilio. Alfredo Pena-Vega construyó su vida en Francia y participó en la vida intelectual del país de la mano del filósofo Edgar Morin. Pero, el sociólogo en la Escuela de Altos Estudios en Ciencias Sociales (EHESS) y Director científico del Programa internacional Pacto de jóvenes por el clima no había contado esta historia. Si lo hace ahora y recurriendo a la ficción es porque “estamos en un momento preocupante, no solamente en Europa, sino también en Latinoamérica y en otros continentes”, explica.   “Preocupante porque las democracias están vacilando y la palabra vacilar queda corta”, y es por ello que el autor estima fundamental volver a la memoria. El segundo motivo es poner el foco en los adolescentes víctimas del pinochetismo, suyas historias han quedado en la sombra; “la adolescencia es un punto ciego de lo que se ha contado sobre la dictadura de Pinochet”.  Alfredo Pena-Vega recuerda que cuando empezó a investigar sobre estas adolescencias en dictadura se percató de que no había “ningún escrito sobre los jóvenes adolescentes”. “Para mí era importante contar esta historia porque se sabe muy poco de la represión de los jóvenes adolescentes en Chile. Hoy en día hay todavía más de 100 y pocos jóvenes desaparecidos. Y en el relato que yo cuento son jóvenes entre 14 y 16 años, que no tuvieron un relato”, agrega.  La historia de Fredo, retrato de una adolescencia marcada por la dictadura Fredo es un adolescente cursando la secundaria cuando estalla el golpe de estado. Aunque él y sus compañeros son muy jóvenes ya están muy politizados, muchos adhieren al proyecto “utópico” de Allende pero otros se alinean con los ideales de la dictadura. Al encontrarse en el campo de los perseguidos a partir del 11 de septiembre de 1973, Fredo tiene que crecer rápido. La experiencia carcelaria a la par de adultos le deja una profunda melancolía, así como la obligación de abandonar su trayectoria escolar. Una vida de errancia y exilio La primera etapa del exilio lo lleva a Argentina, pero pronto debe huir nuevamente cuando la represión alcanza también ese país. Al mismo tiempo, otro régimen militar comienza a gestarse. Los refugiados chilenos quedan especialmente expuestos y vulnerables. Con apenas recursos, marcado por el miedo y el hambre, llega a Brasil, un país que parece ofrecer refugio pero que pronto revela sus propios peligros. Recibido por un sacerdote cercano al régimen, debe marcharse antes de ser descubierto y empieza a sobrevivir bajo una identidad falsa. A partir de 1975, el Plan Cóndor toma forma y la persecución llega a cualquier rincón del cono Sur, las dictaduras militares sudamericanas entran en relación para reprimir sistemáticamente a todos los militantes de izquierdas, a los comunistas.

Todos tenemos personas que nos marcan de una manera u otra. Pueden ser hermanos, padres, abuelos, amigos…Y, de vez en cuando, aparece alguien que no solo deja huella en quienes le conocen, sino en generaciones enteras. Personas que tienen algo especial. No sé si es la actitud, la pasión con la que viven o esa curiosidad insaciable por el mundo.En el episodio de hoy te cuento la historia de uno de esos hombres.Un enamorado de los libros, la historia, el deporte, la ciencia y la aventura.En realidad, estaba enamorado de la VIDA, así, en mayúsculas. Y contagiaba esa energía a todos los que tuvimos la suerte de cruzarnos con él.Tuvo una vida de película: ganó una medalla olímpica (aunque después se la quitaron), fue condenado a muerte en el Congo, conoció a Gandhi, a Pablo Neruda, al Dalai Lama, a Salvador Allende o a Fidel Castro… y durante casi 40 años recorrió el mundo con miles de adolescentes en una especie de rito de iniciación que nos empujaba a mirar más lejos, ser más valientes y entender mejor el mundo.Este mayo se han cumplido 10 años de su muerte y he querido rendirle mi pequeño homenaje contando su historia.Muy pronto te presentaré un nuevo programa en el que estoy trabajando para que tú también puedas contar historias utilizando los diferentes pasados con seguridad

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Free Speech, Guns and Moses, Media Bias, and the Fight Over America's Future Remembering Allen Nathan and Continuing the All-Stars In this episode of Spouting Off, host Karen Kataline opens by reflecting on the loss of Allen Nathan and the continuation of the Allen Nathan All-Stars in his memory. She frames the program around free speech, debate, and the freedom to hear uncensored ideas, then introduces her first guest, Salvador Litvak, director, producer, humorist, and filmmaker behind the mystery thriller Guns and Moses. Karen explains that she watched the film the night before with friends and wanted to bring Litvak on to discuss its message, production, and cultural relevance. Guns and Moses and the Right to Self-Defense Salvador Litvak discusses Guns and Moses, describing it as a film that is pro-faith, pro-Second Amendment, and centered on Jews who refuse to remain passive in the face of threats. He says the film has been warmly received by audiences, even while receiving little support from legacy media outlets. Karen and Litvak focus on how the movie portrays Jewish self-defense, with a rabbi who is reluctant to use a gun but takes responsible training seriously in order to protect his family and community. They also note that the film avoids simplistic stereotypes and presents Jewish characters as nuanced, faithful, and capable of moral courage. Antisemitism, Media Suppression, and Mamdani The conversation then shifts toward antisemitism, media narratives, and the New York City mayoral race involving Zohran Mamdani. Karen and Litvak argue that antisemitism appears across different political and ideological forms and that the media often pressures Jews and other targeted people to remain quiet or passive. Litvak connects his family history to concerns about socialism and communism, explaining that his mother and grandmother survived the Holocaust, lived under Soviet rule in Hungary, and later left Chile after Salvador Allende's election. He warns New Yorkers against electing Mamdani, whom both he and Karen characterize as dangerous, anti-Jewish, socialist, and communist. Tim Graham on Media, Comedy, and Political Narratives Karen's next guest is Tim Graham, executive editor at Newsbusters and host of the Newsbusters Podcast. They discuss how late-night comedians and mainstream media figures have treated the New York mayoral race, with Graham saying that most jokes have targeted Mamdani's opponents rather than Mamdani himself. Karen and Graham compare media enthusiasm for Mamdani to past media fascination with Barack Obama, arguing that the press often protects or glamorizes left-wing figures while dismissing concerns about ideology, antisemitism, Islamism, or public safety. The segment frames Mamdani as part of a larger debate about media bias, Democratic Party direction, and the consequences of open-society rhetoric that excuses illiberal movements. Fears About New York and the Democratic Party The Mamdani discussion continues with concern over whether New York City could follow the path of cities like London, especially in relation to public safety, Jewish life, Islamist politics, and the ability of non-Muslims and Jews to feel safe in public. Graham says Republicans may use Mamdani as an example of what the Democratic Party has become, while Karen presses the point that Democratic leaders such as Hakeem Jeffries and Barack Obama have connections or strategic silence around Mamdani. The segment closes with Graham directing listeners to Newsbusters for more analysis of media bias and political coverage. Grace Stanke VanderWaal on Nuclear Optimism The episode ends with Karen welcoming Grace Stanke VanderWaal, Miss America 2023 and a trained nuclear engineer, to discuss nuclear energy, optimism, and America's energy future. VanderWaal explains that her upcoming book will focus on harnessing optimism in everyday life and that she applies that outlook to nuclear power. She argues that the United States has the best-performing nuclear fleet in the world and that nuclear energy offers abundant, reliable, clean power. She also discusses recent nuclear developments, including plant restarts, Trump administration support for nuclear expansion, regulatory reform, and the need to unite behind strong energy infrastructure as artificial intelligence increases demand on the power grid.

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.

¿Qué pasaría si te dijeran que billones de dólares han desaparecido de las arcas públicas para financiar una civilización paralela en la sombra? Prepara tu gorro de papel de aluminio, porque en este episodio de Primum Gradus, Ricardo y Jordi Cerdá desentierran los secretos más profundos del presupuesto negro del Gobierno de Estados Unidos. Siguiendo las inquietantes revelaciones de Catherine Austin Fitts, exploramos la posible existencia de Mr. Global y una élite escindida. ¿Tienen acceso a tecnología exótica oculta, dominando la antigravedad de punto cero? ¿Utilizan una Inteligencia Artificial implacable para asegurar el control global? El viaje nos lleva desde las históricas advertencias de Eisenhower sobre el complejo militar industrial y los horrores del MK Ultra, hasta las profecías cumplidas del cine con cintas como Elysium o Cortina de Humo. Abordamos cómo los planes de transhumanismo conviven con viejas formas de control social, un sueño húmedo que ya vislumbró el Proyecto Synco de Salvador Allende. Finalmente, aterrizamos en el presente analizando cómo herramientas tributarias, como la Hacienda española, actúan como mecanismos de castigo, repasando las contundentes denuncias del abogado Robert Amsterdam y el exilio de César Vidal. ¿Teorías de la conspiración o una realidad incómoda?

Ralph welcomes Professor Nicholas Chater, co-author of “It's on You: How Corporations and Behavioral Scientists Have Convinced Us That We're to Blame for Society's Deepest Problems.” Then, as most of the media turns its attention to Iran, we return to the ongoing genocide in Gaza and welcome back Dr. Feroze Sidhwa to break down his three-part series published in Zeteo called “The Truth About Gaza's Dead.”Nick Chater is Professor of Behavioural Science at Warwick Business School. He has written and co-written more than two hundred research papers and six books, including It's on You: How Corporations and Behavioral Scientists Have Convinced Us That We're to Blame for Society's Deepest Problems (co-written with George Loewenstein).I was on a UK government committee as the representative of behavioural science for six years, where my role was (at least I understood my role to be) coming up with smart-aleck ideas about what individual nudges or bits of useful information we could give to the public—how that would help people reduce their carbon emissions. And I came away from that experience extremely chastened. Because almost all the interesting issues were nothing to do whatsoever with individual behavior. They were all about big systemic changes… And the shock for me was realizing that the tools that I was hoping to wield were in fact completely ineffective.Nick ChaterI think it's absolutely true that many of the things that behavioral scientists are supposedly “discovering” [are] the things that campaigners and activists and indeed people in the political world generally and journalists intuitively have long known, and indeed probably have good evidence for. It's simply— it's sort of a sad process of trailing-along-behind which I think the academic world has been engaged in, where we've been slowly realizing that things that everybody else knew initially are actually true after all.Nick ChaterOne of the most powerful things that each of us has is the ability to propagate our own perspective and to campaign for change…I think getting people pulling together and pushing for change can be incredibly powerful. So seeing ourselves as citizens who are actively able to have our voice, make our voices heard, I think that's where the real power lies. And I think that the campaigners and political activists and so on have always known this. And of course, also, big businesses have always known this too. And they certainly don't want us to be doing too much of that. They want us to be focusing on quite the opposite. They want us to be focusing on our own gardens and not worrying about the big picture. They don't want organized opposition.Nick ChaterDr. Feroze Sidhwa is a general, trauma, and critical care surgeon in California. He is also a humanitarian surgeon who has worked in Palestine, Ukraine, Haiti, Zimbabwe, and Burkina Faso. He most recently volunteered at Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis, Gaza. He was blocked from entering Gaza by Israel's Shin Bet intelligence service in November 2025.In the first 25 days of the assault on Gaza, more children were killed than in the entire worst year of conflict that Airwars had ever studied previously, which was Syria in 2016. In the first 25 days in Gaza, between 2,200 and 2,600 children were killed in Gaza, compared to 1,900 in Syria. So again, if you adjust for the size of the population (because Syria is a much bigger country than Gaza is a territory), the rate of killing of children in Gaza was 71 to 142 times higher than it was in the worst year on record for children in conflict—Syria in 2016.Dr. Feroze SidhwaGaza is a place where infants freeze to death if they are not sheltered. Well, there are no sheltered infants in Gaza for any practical purposes. They're all unsheltered. So we have a list of the actual names of a dozen or two dozen children who have actually frozen to death…And there is shelter—ready-made mobile shelters for hundreds of thousands of people right outside of Gaza. It's in Egypt and it's in Jordan. The only thing that's stopping anybody from bringing it in is the US and Israel…This is just dastardly. We should think about it for a second—we (meaning Americans) [are] living in a country where neither political party seems to care that we are freezing infants to death.Dr. Feroze SidhwaRight now, the Israelis are blocking cough medicine from going into Gaza. And the reason (they say) is because it contains glycerin. Now, glycerin, in theory, can be used to make explosives. But it's one picogram or something—it's just part of a pill or the syrup that goes into it, right? This is children's cough medicine. The idea that Hamas or Islamic Jihad or anybody else in Gaza has the laboratory equipment and facilities that would be needed to extract the 0.01% of glycerin that's in a pill or a medical syrup to then make a bomb is beyond idiotic. Furthermore, we all know that there's (and I'm speaking literally) hundreds of tons of unexploded Israeli bombs—actually I should say unexploded US bombs—all over the Gaza Strip. That's where Hamas gets all of its explosives from. It just repurposes unexploded Israeli munitions. So all of this is just sheer nonsense.Dr. Feroze SidhwaNews 4/24/26* Our top stories this week have to do with people losing their jobs. First up, Apple CEO Tim Cook – the handpicked successor of Steve Jobs who has led the tech giant for the past 15 years – announced this week that he would transition away from the CEO role. While he will remain on as Executive Chairman, John Ternus, the company's head of hardware engineering, will take over at the helm, PBS reports. Cook's tenure at Apple has received mixed evaluations, with many applauding the steady handed executive for adding an estimated $3.6 trillion in market value to the company, while others have critiqued his supposed lack of innovation compared to his predecessor. Some hope his more technical-minded successor will put more emphasis on product development moving forward. Like many tech CEOs, Cook went to great lengths to ingratiate himself with President Trump in his second term, donating $1 million to his inaugural committee and gifting Trump a glass plaque set in 24-karat gold last August.* Meanwhile, Secretary of Labor Lori Chavez-DeRemer resigned this week amid “an internal investigation into her conduct,” which included “instructing staff to buy her bottles of sauvignon blanc on work trips… [stashing] liquor in her office, [encouraging] young female staffers to ‘pay attention' to her father and husband, [having] an affair with a member of her security detail, and [arranging] work travel to visit family and friends,” per Vox. For the time being, the Labor Department will be headed by Keith Sonderling, whom POLITICO calls a “quintessential Washington insider who is well-connected in the capital's Republican circles and his home state of Florida.” Sources quoted in this piece identify Sonderling as a key behind-the-scenes player in the administration whose accumulated influence “extends well beyond DOL.” The choice of Chavez-DeRemer, a former Congresswoman who was seen as perhaps the most labor-friendly Republican in the House, was supported at the time by Trump-aligned Teamster boss Sean O'Brien; her ouster therefore, represents the latest humiliating setback for his strategy of cozying up to Trump to win favorable treatment for his membership. In the words of a recent Current Affairs piece published before the downfall of Chavez-DeRemer, “Sean O'Brien Sold Labor to Trump, and Got Nothing.”* In the House, Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick resigned her seat this week, just minutes before the House Ethics Committee was set to weigh punishment for the Congresswoman, whom the panel had previously found guilty of “a slew of ethics violations, including accusations that she stole millions in pandemic relief funds and used it to bolster her 2021 campaign,” according to CNN. Cherfilus-McCormick was one of the four Members of Congress included in the proposed bipartisan expulsion deal some weeks ago, along with Representatives Swalwell, Gonzales, and Mills. With the first two gone, a tremendous amount of pressure is sure to be exerted on Congressman Mills to resign as well. Prior to resigning, Cherfilus-McCormick was already facing a stiff primary challenge from young progressive Elijah Manley. Now, it seems her seat – representing hundreds of thousands in Broward and Palm Beach counties – could remain vacant until a new member is sworn in next January, with Florida Governor Ron DeSantis unlikely to call a special election before then.* Also in Congress, Axios reports Representative David Scott of Georgia, a powerful Black Georgia Democrat who served in the lower house for over 20 years, passed away this week at age 80. Scott, who rose to become the first Black chair of the key House Committee on Agriculture, had filed to run again in 2026 despite rumored resistance from his colleagues. His death leaves Georgia's 13th district without representation in the House and amounts to a stunning fourth death-based Democratic House vacancy in the past year. Like the ones that preceded it, this must be seen as a bright red warning signal to Democratic leadership.* In DC more broadly, the employment picture looks even worse. According to a new report in the Guardian, the combined purging of 300,000 jobs from the federal government – the piece notes this is the “region's largest employer” – by Elon Musk's absurd Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) initiative, with another 13,000 job cuts in the private sector, has left DC with the highest unemployment rate in the nation at 6.7%. With little sign of increased hiring in the public or private sectors, there is no indication this trend will reverse itself any time soon.* Elsewhere in the DMV, this week Virginia voters approved a referendum to amend the state constitution allowing Democrats to redraw the state's congressional districts in their favor. Currently, Virginia Democrats hold six districts to the Republicans' five; under the new map, Democrats are poised to hold 10 districts and the Republicans just one. This is the latest episode in the mid-decade redistricting fight begun last year, when Texas Republicans sought to redraw the Lone Star state's maps to be more favorable to the GOP. This set off a stampede of states seeking to redraw their district lines. Now, in light of the Virginia referendum passing, Florida is threatening to redraw their maps to the detriment of Democrats there. The Hill reports House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, taking a sharper tone than usual, responded to news of the Florida redistricting attempt with a statement reading “If Florida Republicans proceed with this illegal scheme, they will only create more prime pick-up opportunities for Democrats, just as they did with Trump's dummymander in Texas…[he vowed] maximum warfare, everywhere, all the time.”* In California, the downfall of Eric Swalwell has resulted in the unexpected rise of another candidate – former Congressman, California Attorney General, and Biden-era Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra. Between April 10th and April 22nd, Becerra surged from a polling average of under 4% to an average of 13% – and in some polls, even moved into first place. While Becerra seeks to consolidate this spike in support, progressives are airing long-held grievances. David Sirota, former Bernie Sanders campaign advisor and founder of the Lever, cited that publication's 2021 report on how “As California AG, [Becerra] demanded the HHS secretary use existing law to lower medicine prices - and then he became HHS secretary & literally refused to do that.” Others have pointed out that, according to Transparency USA, Becerra's campaign has received massive donations from the likes of Chevron. Progressive billionaire Tom Steyer on the other hand this week received the endorsement of Our Revolution, closely aligned with Bernie Sanders, which noted that “Yes, Tom Steyer is a billionaire. But it matters what he is doing with that power: pushing for taxes on the wealthy, expanding universal programs, and dismantling corporate influence in our politics.”* In another case of politics making strange bedfellows, the Chicago Tribune reports the political arm of Planned Parenthood is making an endorsement in the race to succeed retiring Rep. Jesús “Chuy” García in Illinois 4th congressional district. Except, in this case, the reproductive rights group is not endorsing the Democrat in the race. Listeners may recall that Congressman García was sharply criticized for his maneuvering to ensure his chief of staff Patty García would be the Democratic nominee. This has forced other potential aspirants to run as independents. These include DSA-aligned Chicago Alderman Byron Sigcho-López and activist Mayra Macías – the latter of whom won the Planned Parenthood Action endorsement this week. The Tribune notes that Macías served on the board of Planned Parenthood Action until the beginning of this year. In a statement, Planned Parenthood President Alexis McGill Johnson called Macías “a proven leader,” who “will be unrelenting in the fight to protect access to sexual and reproductive health care.”* Turning to international news, in South Africa, leftist politician and leader of the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) party Julius Malema was sentenced to five years in prison this week for “firing a rifle in ⁠the air at a party rally,” Al Jazeera reports. Unsurprisingly, given that the EFF is the fourth largest political party in South Africa, this case has become a rallying cry for Malema's supporters, with those same supporters accusing the prosecution of being politically motivated. Presiding Magistrate Twanet Olivier disputes this, contending that it “is not a political party who has been convicted here … it is a person, an individual.” Malema's lawyers immediately applied for – and were granted – leave to appeal, but if these appeals fail Malema could be barred from serving as a Member of Parliament.* Finally, in more positive news from abroad, Reuters reports that the much-trumpeted summit of the global Left held in Barcelona this week – designed to help progressives rally their forces to defeat modern reactionary Right-wing nationalism characterized by figures like Trump – drew over 6,000 attendees from over 40 countries. Headline speakers included Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez, Brazilian President Lula, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum, Colombian President Gustavo Petro and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa. From the United States, an ecclectic group addressed the summit, ranging from video messages of support from Hilary Clinton to Bernie Sanders to Zohran Mamdani, with an in-person address by Minnesota Governor and former Vice-Presidential candidate Tim Walz. A recurrent theme, hammered home by Isabel Allende, former Senate president ​of Chile and daughter of Salvador Allende, Chile's leftist president ousted in a U.S.-backed coup and replaced with the dictator Augusto Pinochet, was that the left has become too distant from the daily concerns of workers, stating in no uncertain terms that “It's unimaginable to fight against the right ‌if we can't ⁠get closer to ordinary people.”This has been Francesco DeSantis with In Case You Haven't Heard.

Repasamos la actualidad con nuestra analista María Dolores Albiac. Chile comienza una nueva etapa política con el ultraderechista José Antonio Kast. Se trata del gobierno más conservador desde que volvió la democracia al país tras la dictadura de Augusto Pinochet. El triunfo de Kast refleja una demanda popular de orden y estabilidad tras años de incertidumbre política y de desaceleración económica. Su primer reto será representar a un país plural que despide el mandato de cuatro años de Gabriel Boric —que con luces y sombras— ha sido el ejecutivo más a la izquierda desde Salvador Allende.También analizamos las elecciones legislativas en Colombia donde el partido oficialista Pacto Histórico ha salido reforzado y nos detenemos en la polémica cumbre antidrogas impulsada por Donald Trump en Florida con ausencias importantes como Colombia, México o Brasil.

Presa internațională analizează consecințele războiului împotriva Iranului, din perspectivă strategică și economică – de la prețul petrolului, la efectele asupra Rusiei și Chinei. ”Bombardând petro-monarhiile din Golf, ayatollahii au adăugat o imbecilitate strategică ideologiei lor obscurantiste”, consideră Le Figaro. Ziarul se întreabă de ce a început Iranul să bombardeze petro-monarhiile din Golf, care făcuseră tot posibilul să-l convingă pe Trump să nu intre în război. Și dacă nu ar fi fost mai inteligent să nu atace niciun stat sunnit, să-și concentreze toate atacurile împotriva Israelului și să încerce să-i incite pe predicatorii musulmani împotriva „diavolilor” sioniști. Dar ce se poate întâmpla cu prețul petrolului? Financial Times vede două scenarii:  Cum 20% din vânzările globale de petrol trec prin Strâmtoarea Ormuz, închiderea  pe termen mai lung ar provoca „un șoc monumental asupra prețurilor globale”. Citeste siTeheranul ameninţă Europa să nu se implice în războiul din Iran. "Porţile iadului se vor deschide" Prețul barilului ar putea depăși pragul de 100 de dolari, prevăd specialiștii. Piața gazelor naturale ar fi, de asemenea, afectată, intensificând și mai mult presiunile inflaționiste asupra economiilor majore, în special în Europa. Al doilea scenariu, cel mai probabil, este și cel mai puțin grav: strâmtoarea nu este complet închisă. În acest scenariu, prețul pe baril ajunge la cel puțin 80 de dolari. Un lucru este sigur: o creștere cu 10 dolari a prețului barilului „nu va schimba fundamental jocul” pentru inflație și creștere. Citeste siConflictul din Orientul Mijlociu: Franţa trimite portavionul „Charles-de-Gaulle” în Mediterană The New York Times analizează consecințele globale ale intervenției în Iran. ”Teheranul este, alături de Moscova și Beijing, un pilon al axei autocrațiilor care amenință lumea democratică în ansamblu. Acei membri ai stângii americane care îl critică pe Trump pentru că nu se opune vehement lui Vladimir Putin ar trebui cel puțin să ia în considerare faptul că Teheranul a furnizat Rusiei drone și tehnologii. Și acei conservatori americani care îl critică pe Trump pentru devierea resurselor militare din Pacific către războiul din Iran ar trebui, de asemenea, să remarce că Iranul furnizează în secret Chinei o mare parte din petrolul său. Dacă Teheranul nu va mai face parte din această axă, adversarii noștri rămași vor fi mai slabi”. Obișnuiesc Statele Unite să asasineze șefi de state? CNN constată că, odată cu uciderea lui Ali Khamenei este pentru prima dată în istoria modernă când SUA recurge la această metodă - în acest caz, colaborând cu Israelul Saddam Hussein a fost spânzurat după un proces desfășurat de autoritățile din Irak, după ce SUA au invadat țara și i-au răsturnat guvernul. Moammar Gaddafi din Libia a fost ucis după ce a fost capturat de forțele revoluționare, ajutate de o campanie multinațională de bombardamente. După al Doilea Război Mondial, aliații i-au judecat pe liderii naziști la Nürnberg. SUA a fost complice la răsturnarea și uciderea dictatorului vietnamez Ngo Dinh Diem, care anterior fusese susținut de Washington. CIA a fost implicată direct și în secret în înlăturarea de la putere din 1973 a liderului chilian Salvador Allende, care apoi s-a sinucis...

Salvador Allende

Apoie a Cultura: Seja Membro do Canal no Youtube á partir de R$1,99 por mês. Salvador Allende (1908–1973) foi um médico e político socialista chileno, conhecido por ser o primeiro marxista a ser eleito presidente de um país democrático na América Latina, governando o Chile de 1970 a 1973. Ele buscava a "via chilena para o socialismo" através de reformas estruturais, como a nacionalização do cobre. Essa é a nossa história de hoje.

Als am 11. September 1973 die Panzer vor dem Präsidentenpalast aufrollen, setzt sich Salvador Allende an den Schreibtisch und hält seine letzte Rede. 1970 gewählt, wollte er Chile auf demokratischem Weg zum Sozialismus führen. Doch stattdessen versinkt die polarisierte chilenische Gesellschaft im politischen Chaos, nicht zuletzt, weil die CIA gezielt Propaganda gegen Allende betreibt. Dann, bevor eine demokratische Lösung gefunden werden kann, beginnt Chiles Militär den Putsch. Der 11. September wird der letzte Tag Salvador Allendes und das Ende der chilenischen Demokratie……….Das Folgenbild zeigt Salvador Allende, der ein letztes Mal aus der Tür des Palastes tritt.

In 1982, Isabel Allende published her debut novel, The House of the Spirits. The characters are based on her family, and the story reflects Chile's 20th Century history, including the 1973 military coup in which her relative, President Salvador Allende, was overthrown. The book began as a letter to her dying grandfather, but it grew into an epic multi-generational story. The House of the Spirits was an international bestseller and made Isabel one of the most renowned novelists in Latin America's rich literary history. She speaks to Ben Henderson.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past.

En Haïti, alors que les attaques des gangs ne cessent de s'étendre, les transports en commun fonctionnent de plus en plus difficilement. De nombreux chauffeurs de tap-tap (des taxis collectifs) ont été assassinés par des groupes armés. D'autres ne peuvent plus effectuer leur circuit habituel, à cause des affrontements entre groupes armés ou des péages installés par les gangs pour rançonner les conducteurs et les passagers. En ce vendredi matin de décembre, la gare routière où se rend Junior, un habitant de la commune de Carrefour (au sud de la capitale Port-au-Prince), est paralysée après un appel lancé par les chefs de gangs. «Les groupes armés [...] installent des postes de péage un peu partout afin de contraindre les chauffeurs à payer, explique-t-il à Peterson Luxama, correspondant de RFI à Port-au-Prince. Cela entraîne une hausse du coût du transport. Si auparavant un trajet coûtait 50 gourdes [environ 30 centimes d'euros], il faut désormais en payer 150», soit près d'un euro. Les conducteurs voient leurs revenus baisser et dénoncent le manque de soutien des autorités haïtiennes. «Nous ne savons plus à quel saint nous vouer, la situation est extrêmement difficile», déplore Méhu Changeux, responsable de l'Association des Propriétaires et Chauffeurs d'Haïti. «Beaucoup de nos véhicules ont été incendiés, des groupes armés volent les voitures et s'en prennent violemment à nos chauffeurs, mais nous n'entendons jamais de réaction de l'État. Pas même un fonds de garantie n'a été mis à la disposition des chauffeurs pour leur permettre de se relever. L'État nous abandonne, malgré les multiples appels à l'aide lancés par les associations de transporteurs», s'indigne-t-il. Haïti : le viol, une «arme de guerre omniprésente» Le Miami Herald publie cette semaine une série d'articles sur la hausse «alarmante» des cas de viols en Haïti. «Dans les quartiers contrôlés par les gangs, la question n'est pas de savoir si les femmes et les filles seront violées, mais quand», écrit Jacqueline Charles qui, depuis un an, a mené des dizaines d'interviews avec des survivantes et des associations ou centres de santé spécialisés sur les violences sexuelles. «Les viols ne sont pas un phénomène nouveau en Haïti», souligne le journal, surtout en période de crise. Mais le quotidien de Floride parle cette fois d'une «épidémie» tant les cas ont augmenté à mesure que les gangs augmentent leur emprise sur le pays et que les habitants sont forcés de fuir pour vivre dans des camps de déplacés. Un viol a lieu dans le pays «toutes les deux heures». Mais les chiffres dont on dispose (calculés par les Nations unies notamment), sont très probablement «sous-estimés», expliquent les associations d'aide aux victimes interviewées par le Miami Herald. Près de 20% des victimes sont des enfants. Les survivantes sont « stigmatisées », « blamées » par leur propre « communauté voire par leur propre famille », notamment quand elles tombent enceintes après avoir été violées, souligne le quotidien, qui rappelle aussi que l'avortement est illégal en Haïti, même pour les mineures survivantes de viols. Le Docteur Jean William Pape, à la tête des centres GHESKIO, qui accueille des survivantes de violences sexuelles parle d'une «génération perdue». Les associations sont démunies, sous-financées, en particulier depuis que le président des États-Unis, Donald Trump, a fermé cette année l'USAID, l'agence d'aide au développement, remarque le Miami Herald.   Chili : ces jeunes qui votent pour l'extrême-droite Au Chili, le second tour de l'élection présidentielle se tient ce dimanche 14 décembre 2025. Jeannette Jara, issue du Parti Communiste et qui représente une large coalition de gauche, est arrivée en tête du premier tour avec 26% des voix. Elle affrontera un candidat d'extrême-droite, José Antonio Kast (24%), ancien parlementaire de 59 ans. Selon les sondages, ce dernier pourrait remporter l'élection grâce à l'union des droites et à une campagne centrée sur les questions de sécurité, de lutte contre l'immigration illégale. Un discours qui séduit dans toutes les strates de la population, même chez une partie des jeunes. Cette génération, née en démocratie, n'a pas connu les années de dictature (1973-1990), une période que le candidat d'extrême droite se remémore avec nostalgie, lui qui a toujours défendu l'ancien dictateur, le général Augusto Pinochet. «Pour avancer il faut laisser tout ça derrière nous», balaye Fernanda, 22 ans, étudiante en droit rencontrée à La Florida, une banlieue de classe moyenne de la capitale chilienne par Naïla Derroisné. Des militaires sont entrés chez sa grand-mère pendant la dictature (qui a fait près de 3 000 morts et disparus), mais la jeune femme estime que cette histoire appartient au passé. «C'était il y a 50 ans. Mentionner tout ça aujourd'hui c'est pour porter atteinte à José Antonio Kast et sa posture politique. Ce n'est pas ça qui va le définir en tant que président, ce qui va le définir ce seront ses actions une fois au gouvernement», juge-t-elle. Sur un campus universitaire dans le sud de Santiago, Margarita, 20 ans, de gauche, se souvient que pendant un cours sur l'Histoire du Chili, peu de ses camarades connaissaient le président Salvador Allende, renversé en 1973. «Ils ont très peu d'informations sur cette période de l'Histoire chilienne. Aujourd'hui, des jeunes soutiennent Kast aveuglément alors même qu'il a été partisan du coup d'État, qui a été terrible pour le pays», s'inquiète-t-elle.   Dans le journal de la 1ère...  Air Caraïbes relance aujourd'hui sa ligne directe entre Orly et l'aéroport international de Saint-Martin, explique Benoît Ferrand.

Maybe the answer really is to be found in early 1970's Chilean socialism…  The Unaccountability Machine: Why Big Systems Make Terrible Decisions—and How the World Lost Its Mind By: Dan Davies Published: 2024 304 Pages Briefly, what is this book about? The development of accountability sinks, a construct used by governments, corporations, and really any large-scale organization to deflect responsibility (and potential punishment) away from individuals and into processes. As part of his critique and his hoped for solution Davies leans heavily into management cybernetics and Stafford Beer. If neither of those ring a bell perhaps you've encountered Beer's most famous saying, "The purpose of a system is what it does."  What's the author's angle? Davies sits in a weird place ideologically. He's a huge fan of Beer, and spends lots of time talking about Beer's partnership with Salvador Allende, the president of Chile in the early 70s. They partnered to create Cybersyn, a cybernetic management system for the whole economy. Davies admits it wouldn't have worked at the time, but seems to think that maybe with AI something like it might work now? On the other hand, in many places he seems to be channeling Taleb, and while I can't find anything by Taleb directly commenting on Cybersyn, I'm confident he would not be a fan. Davies also levels significant criticism at Milton Friedman, which makes sense in the Chilean context, but it feels out of character for a soberly written business book.  Who should read this book? I read it as part of a Slate Star Codex/Astral Codex Ten book club. If that means anything to you, you'll probably find the book interesting. Additionally, anyone looking for another way to describe the hidden brokenness of the world will probably enjoy the book.  What does the book have to say about the future?

Cada año, en el centro de Santiago de Chile, se rinde homenaje al cantautor Víctor Jara, asesinado en septiembre de 1973 tras el golpe militar de Pinochet. Víctor Jara fue torturado durante días y finalmente asesinado en el Estadio Chile, que hoy lleva su nombre. Se convirtió en un ícono político y un referente fundamental de la música chilena, donde es conocido como el “poeta de la revolución”. Víctor Jara (1932–1973) fue un destacado músico, cantautor, profesor, escritor y director de teatro chileno. Su música lo convirtió en una figura emblemática del gobierno de Salvador Allende. Tras el golpe de Estado del 11 de septiembre de 1973, Jara fue detenido, torturado y ejecutado por las fuerzas militares del régimen de Augusto Pinochet. Su muerte lo consolidó como un símbolo de la lucha por los derechos humanos en Chile. Un legado musical fundamental en Chile Amanda Jara, hija de Víctor Jara, ha dedicado su vida a preservar y difundir el legado artístico y político de su padre. A través de la Fundación Víctor Jara, organiza talleres, conciertos y actividades culturales que buscan mantener viva su memoria y promover la reflexión sobre los derechos humanos. Amanda destaca en una entrevista a RFI que su padre era "ante todo un creador y un artista", y explica que "es gracias al arte que se organizan las luchas". Música, memoria y política electoral Las elecciones presidenciales en Chile están programadas para el 16 de noviembre de 2025. Los principales candidatos son José Antonio Kast, del Partido Republicano, y Jeannette Jara, del Partido Comunista. Ambos representan los extremos del espectro político y han protagonizado debates marcados por tensas confrontaciones.  En este contexto de polarización y tensión política, el legado de Víctor Jara cobra especial relevancia. Su música y su mensaje siguen siendo una fuente de inspiración para quienes luchan por la justicia, la memoria y los derechos humanos en Chile. Como señala Amanda Jara, "nunca deja de sorprenderme la cantidad de personas que siguen cantando las canciones de mi padre". Un legado que sigue vivo en el corazón del pueblo chileno.

On September 11, 1973, tanks rumbled over the streets of Santiago, Chile. Planes bombed La Moneda, the presidential palace, as US-backed General Augusto Pinochet overthrew the democratically elected President Salvador Allende. It was a dark, dark moment in Chile's history. Pinochet would unleash a bloody regime that would grip power until 1990. During his rule, thousands were rounded up, detained, tortured, and executed.But there was resistance.In this special bonus episode of Stories of Resistance, we showcase four different vignettes of people standing up to the evil in which Pinochet enveloped the country in the early 1970s, and the fight for truth, justice, and memory that continues to this day. These stories have been published at different times in this podcast series over the last year. Here are links to the individual stories. They were all researched and reported by journalist and host Michael Fox.Episode 1 - The Last Words of Victor JaraEpisode 33 - Liquor Store ResistanceEpisode 38 - The Women of CalamaEpisode 62 - Chile's Bulnes Bridge This is the latest episode of Stories of Resistance—a podcast produced by The Real News.

Walther Rauff, a notorious Nazi war criminal, lived openly in Chile after the Second World War, working for the Pinochet regime's secret police in the 1970s and avoiding extradition to West Germany. When General Pinochet was himself arrested in London in 1998 under an international warrant issued by a Spanish judge, the British government returned him to Chile on medical grounds. In this episode, Andy Beckett, the author of Pinochet in Piccadilly, joins Tom to talk about these two cases of impunity, the subjects of a recent book by Philippe Sands. They also consider why the democratic government of Salvador Allende that Pinochet overthrew in 1973 has been a touchstone for the international left in the decades since, and whether something similar to Pinochet's coup could have happened in the UK.

In 1973, Chile's democratically elected socialist president Salvador Allende was toppled by a right-wing military coup led by General Augusto Pinochet. As news of the brutal repression that followed spread around the globe, a group of activists in Berkeley opened a cafe to serve as a hub of organizing against Pinochet's fascist regime. Modeled after gathering spaces in Chile that combined music, food, art, and politics, La Peña emerged as a hotbed of leftist internationalism. Over the years, La Peña evolved along with a changing political landscape. Besides hosting countless international activist groups, the space became a hub for Native American organizations, Latin American music lovers, hip hop, poetry, muralists, and more. In 2025, as La Peña celebrates its 50th anniversary, the United States is faced with a crisis Chile confronted decades ago: How do we respond to the dismantling of democracy by an authoritarian government? This episode weaves together the history of La Peña with America's current dilemma. Listen to the podcast to hear interviews with La Peña co-founder Eric Leenson, longtime director Paul Chin, and current executive director Consuelo Tupper. https://lapena.org/ To see photos related to this episode, visit: eastbayyesterday.com/episodes/respect-the-patch/ Don't forget to follow the East Bay Yesterday Substack for updates on events, boat tours, exhibits, and other local history news: eastbayyesterday.substack.com/ Donate to keep this show alive: www.patreon.com/eastbayyesterday

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.

At 82, Isabel Allende is one of the world's most beloved and best-selling Spanish-language authors. Her work has been translated into more than 40 languages, and 80 million copies of her books have been sold around the world. That's a lot of books.Allende's newest novel, “My Name Is Emilia del Valle” is about a dark period in Chilean history: the 1891 Chilean civil war. Like so much of Allende's work, it's a story about women in tough spots who figure out a way through. Thematically, it's not that far off from Allende's own story. She was raised in Chile, but in 1973, when she was 31, raising two small children and working as a journalist, her life was upended forever. That year a military coup pushed out the democratically elected president, Salvador Allende, who was her father's cousin. She fled to Venezuela, where she wrote “The House of the Spirits,” which evolved from a letter she had begun writing to her dying grandfather. That book became a runaway best seller and it remains one of her best-known.Allende and Book Review editor Gilbert Cruz spoke about her life and career.
