Podcast appearances and mentions of Salvador Allende

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.

Hablamos con la cómica Carmen Romero. El próximo sábado 28 de marzo aterrizará en Zaragoza junto a Bianca Kovacs para grabar en directo su podcast de humor "Odio a la gente", dentro del festival Zaragoza Comedy. Es una oportunidad para ver de cerca cómo funciona este proyecto de humor que suele centrarse en viajes y en esas pequeñas cosas del día a día que nos sacan de quicio. La cita será en el Centro Cívico Salvador Allende, a las 18:00 horas.

Você já ouviu falar sobre o programa de promoção popular do Chile? No episódio 108 do PetCast, as petianas Beatryz Chiarotto e Gabriela Magalhães vão receber a ex-petiana e atual mestranda Maria Eduarda Veras para uma conversa sobre a escrita da sua monografia, o seu objeto e seus próximos passos. Maria Eduarda vai nos explicar o processo de escolha do seu tema, a pesquisa a partir da História Política e sobre o programa de promoção popular do Chile e suas cartilhas, demonstrando a importância de estudar o governo de Eduardo Frei Montalva, principalmente considerando o contexto pré Salvador Allende e os conflitos polarizantes na américa latina. Com esse epísódio nos despedimos da Duda e celebramos o futuro da nossa colega!

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. Nos despedimos con Hombres G porque su gira 'Los Mejores Años de Nuestra Vida' pasará por Latinoamérica. Escuchar audio

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...

Charlamos con el cómico Sergio Encinas de "Monólogos y otras movidas", su espectáculo de humor, incluido en la programación de Zaragoza Comedy, en el que hace un repaso por la actualidad sin dejar de lado tiempos pasados. Será este sábado 28 de febrero a las 18.30 horas en el Centro Cívico Salvador Allende.

Conversamos en el #TraficantesDeCultura con Macarena Cortés, directora del Centro del Patrimonio de la Universidad Católica a razón de dos libros editados por EDICIONES UC: Balnearios populares 1970-1973. Patrimonio, turismo y memoria y Paisaje cultural de Chiloé"Balnearios populares 1970-1973. Patrimonio, turismo y memoria":Durante el gobierno de Salvador Allende (1970-1973), la política de los balnearios populares materializó una larga tradición de turismo social en Chile y en el mundo. El impulso de esta práctica tuvo varios propósitos: recorrer y reconocer el territorio nacional, fortalecer el sentido de pertenencia a través del paisaje, y garantizar vacaciones dignas para los trabajadores. La investigación reunida reconstruye la historia de diecisiete balnearios levantados a lo largo del país, desde Arica hasta Lota, y muestra cómo estos espacios —concebidos originalmente para el descanso y la vida comunitaria— fueron transformados tras el golpe militar: al menos cuatro de ellos se convirtieron en centros de detención y tortura, mientras otros pasaron a ser centros vacacionales de las Fuerzas Armadas o vendidos a privados."Paisaje cultural de Chiloé":Paisaje Cultural de Chiloé invita a recorrer un territorio donde geografía, arquitectura, historia y vida comunitaria se entrelazan de manera inseparable, desde los asentamientos costeros y la relación cotidiana con el mar, hasta las iglesias, palafitos, festividades y prácticas contemporáneas. El libro muestra la manera en que el archipiélago se ha configurado como un paisaje cultural único, en el que la naturaleza, lo material y lo simbólico dialogan constantemente. Pensado para lectores interesados en el patrimonio, el territorio y las culturas del sur de Chile, así como sus diversas comunidades, este volumen se presenta como una ventana privilegiada hacia la riqueza chilota. Publicado en el marco de los 200 años de su incorporación a la República de Chile, invita a mirar el paisaje cultural no solo como una herencia, sino que, al modo de un tejido vivo, en permanente movimiento.

el eco del golpe de Estado del 11 de septiembre de 1973 en Chile sigue resonando.. l Tanquetazo fue un intento de golpe de Estado que tuvo lugar en Chile el 29 de junio de 1973, unos tres meses antes del golpe que derrocó al presidente Salvador Allende. El intento fue liderado por el general Roberto Viaux, quien movilizó tanques y tropas del ejército para tomar el Palacio de La Moneda, sede del gobierno. Aunque el Tanquetazo fue aplacado y no logró derrocar al gobierno de Allende, disparó la polaridad política y aumentó la inestabilidad en Chile. Las tensiones y el clima de agitación culminaron en el golpe militar liderado por el general Augusto Pinochet. https://www.es.amnesty.org/en-que-estamos/blog/historia/articulo/50-anos-del-golpe-de-estado-encabezado-por-pinochet-en-chile/

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.

In this deep-dive episode, we sit down with legendary investigative journalist and author John Dinges to discuss his acclaimed book, “Chile in Their Hearts: The Untold Story of Two Americans Who Went Missing After the Coup.” Journey back to the early 1970s, when Chile became the global epicenter for progressive hope, attracting thousands of idealistic foreigners, including young Americans, to witness Salvador Allende's democratic "revolution with red wine and empanadas." Dinges, who was there, sets the scene of this vibrant, politically charged moment. The heart of the conversation is Dinges's decades-long investigation into the fates of two such Americans—Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi—who were killed after Pinochet's brutal 1973 coup. We tackle difficult truths and enduring myths, including the 1982 Academy Award-winning film, “Missing.” Dinges reveals his startling conclusion: while the U.S. government did not directly order their deaths, it was utterly complicit in the regime's terror and the ensuing cover-up. We also explore Operation Condor, the sinister international assassination network Dinges helped expose, detailing the intimate and damning role of U.S. intelligence. This is a masterclass in investigative journalism, as Dinges explains why following the evidence—even when it contradicts your beliefs—is paramount. John Dinges is an American investigative journalist, author, and longtime chronicler of U.S. involvement in Latin America, especially during the era of military dictatorships. He began his career at the Des Moines Register & Tribune and later worked as a freelance correspondent in Latin America, serving as a special correspondent for Time, The Washington Post, and ABC Radio. Dinges worked on the foreign desk of The Washington Post and then at NPR, where he became managing editor and helped shape the network's foreign coverage.   Get the Book: https://www.ucpress.edu/books/chile-in-their-hearts/paper John Dinges's Homepage: https://johndinges.com/    Greg's Blog: http://zzs-blg.blogspot.com/ Pat's Substack: https://patcummings.substack.com/   JohnDinges#Chile#ChileInTheirHearts#1973#Chilemilitarycoup#SalvadorAllende#Pinochetdictatorship#OperationCondor#CharlesHorman#FrankTeruggi#Missingmovie1982#USinterventionChile#CIALatinAmerica#HenryKissingerChile#Investigativejournalism#LatinAmericanhistory#ColdWarChile#PatCummings#GregGodels#ZZsBlog#ComingFromLeftField#Podcast#zzblog#mltoday

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?

El dictador buscó en América Latina el apoyo y el reconocimiento que le negaban Estados Unidos y Europa. Sorprendemente, su régimen de derechas apoyó a los gobiernos de Fidel Castro en Cuba y Salvador Allende en Chile.

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.

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.

À deux mois de l'élection présidentielle, le Chili est toujours dans l'incertitude vis-à-vis du droit de vote des étrangers. Dans la loi, au bout de 5 ans de résidence légale dans le pays, ils peuvent voter à toutes les élections. Ils sont même inscrits automatiquement sur les listes électorales. Un cas unique au monde avec une législation très permissive, en partie issue de la dictature. Mais aujourd'hui, certains partis aimeraient revoir les règles pour ces personnes qui représentent quasiment 6% de l'électorat. Ils sont près de 900 000 étrangers à pouvoir voter pour la prochaine élection présidentielle au Chili. Une population «pas très diversifiée» pour Axel Callis, sociologue et directeur de l'institut de sondages TúInfluyes. «Elle se concentre surtout autour des communautés vénézuéliennes, colombiennes et péruviennes», précise-t-il. Une population au cœur du débat politique au Chili. C'est le dossier de notre correspondante à Santiago, Naila Derroisné.    En Haïti, une rentrée sous tension La rentrée a été repoussée au 1ᵉʳ octobre en Haïti. Une décision qui ne plait pas aux associations regroupant les écoles. Dans Gazette Haïti, elles rappellent «qu'accueillir les enfants au plus vite permet de les protéger des rues et de l'emprise des gangs.» Le mécontentement est d'autant plus grand que, comme l'indique Alterpresse, le gouvernement menace de sanctions les institutions qui ne respecteraient pas cette date de rentrée. L'agence de presse en ligne reprend un communiqué de L'Association professionnelle des écoles privées d'Haïti, l'Apep, qui elle exprime de vives inquiétudes suite aux menaces du ministère de l'Éducation nationale. L'Apep rappelle que le système scolaire haïtien traverse l'une des crises les plus graves de son histoire et que cette mesure qui repousse la rentrée scolaire est «déconnectée de la réalité, des besoins des enfants, et ne fait qu'aggraver la souffrance des familles». Une souffrance déjà accentuée par la situation sécuritaire dramatique et la crise humanitaire. Tom Fletcher, secrétaire général adjoint de l'ONU chargé des Affaires humanitaires, coordonnateur des secours au Bureau de la coordination des Affaires humanitaires, vient de passer quelques jours en Haïti. Il y a rencontré des déplacés. Au micro de Peterson Luxama, notre correspondant à Port-au-Prince, Tom Fletcher interpelle la communauté internationale et lui demande aussi d'avoir un regard plus attentif sur Haïti.  L'ombre de Jeffrey Epstein plane toujours sur Donald Trump  L'affaire Epstein n'en finit pas d'alimenter les débats et les pages des journaux aux États-Unis. Depuis plusieurs semaines, ses liens avec Donald Trump font débat. Il y a quelques jours, le New York Times a publié plusieurs documents, dont une carte d'anniversaire «salace», adressée à Jeffrey Epstein et signée par le président américain. «Ce n'est pas ma signature. Et ce n'est pas ma façon de parler. Et tous ceux qui me suivent depuis longtemps savent que ce n'est pas mon langage. C'est absurde !», a-t-il déclaré hier (9 septembre 2025) à Washington devant des journalistes. Mais la presse conteste la version de Donald Trump. Pour le bimensuel d'opinion The New Republic, «cette signature dans la lettre d'anniversaire d'Epstein ressemble vraiment à celle de Trump». Le New York Times et le Washington Post se sont lancés dans de véritables analyses graphologiques. Ils comparent la signature sur la carte à celles au bas de plusieurs de ses lettres envoyées durant la même période. Conclusion du quotidien new-yorkais : «Cette signature ressemble étrangement à celles qu'utilisait le président dans ses correspondances personnelles.» Le New York Times qui prend aussi du recul sur l'affaire, et qui rappelle que le mythe Epstein, selon lequel «de nombreux hommes puissants auraient été ses clients et que ses activités auraient été liées au Mossad israélien, a été largement fabriqué par des paranoïaques et des personnes en quête d'attention». Le quotidien déplore qu'aujourd'hui, ce pseudo-mythe soit amplifié par les détracteurs de la présidence. D'abord par les libéraux, les démocrates, qui seraient à la recherche de toute arme à leur disposition pour lutter contre l'administration, mais aussi «par les détracteurs d'extrême droite de la politique étrangère du président qui veulent semer la discorde entre les États-Unis et Israël». Des Argentins expulsés des États-Unis Le premier avion transportant des Argentins expulsés par le gouvernement de Donald Trump doit arriver ce mercredi (10 septembre 2025) en Argentine. Un vol affrété par le gouvernement américain qui fera escale en Colombie et au Brésil avant d'arriver à Buenos Aires. À son bord, un groupe d'Argentins accusés d'infractions graves à la loi fédérale des États-Unis. Une opération en Une de Clarin aujourd'hui. Selon le quotidien, le gouvernement de Javier Milei et son ambassadeur aux États-Unis cherchent à passer cette opération sous silence, ils ne s'y opposeront pas, ne protesteront pas, contrairement à d'autres pays d'Amérique du Sud. L'objectif, c'est d'éviter de donner l'impression que Donald Trump porte un coup à son allié libertaire. Le journal de gauche Página 12 souligne que la médiatisation de ce vol retour est un revers supplémentaire pour le président Milei. Le quotidien pour qui la volonté de ne pas divulguer le vol serait liée au fait que la présidence ne souhaite pas protester contre le traitement réservé aux citoyens argentins. D'autres gouvernements, comme le Mexique et le Brésil, avaient protesté contre la brutalité infligée aux citoyens de leurs pays lors de ces vols retours.  Raviver la mémoire de la dictature au Chili Le 11 septembre marquera le 52è anniversaire du coup d'État au Chili, un putsch qui avait renversé le président Salvador Allende. Dans le pays, une campagne sur les réseaux sociaux cherche à réécrire l'histoire de la dictature, assurant que sous le gouvernement autoritaire, le Chili aurait connu une période faste sur les plans économiques, sociaux et politiques. Et dans ce contexte, le média d'investigation chilien Ciper publie les portraits de ceux qu'il considère comme les dix agents qui ont commis les crimes les plus terribles de la dictature. Parmi eux, Miguel Krassnoff Martchenko, surnommé le Russe. Il a participé à l'assaut sur le palais présidentiel, le 11 septembre 1973, et rejoint le renseignement chilien dans la brigade dédiée aux exécutions, aux disparitions et aux tortures de civils. Ciper rappelle le passage à tabac d'une opposante à la dictature, Mónica Pacheco, enceinte de 3 mois, que Martchenko a brûlée à l'eau bouillante et à l'huile. Ciper évoque aussi le cas d'Ingrid Olderöck, officier de police qui avait dressé un berger allemand pour violer les personnes détenues dans un centre de torture de la capitale. Une dizaine d'exemples sordides, mais d'utilité publique selon le média Ciper, pour empêcher la réécriture de l'histoire sous un prisme déformant. La 1ère Celui que l'on appelle parfois « le premier tueur en série de la Caraïbe » sera transféré ce mercredi des Pays-Bas vers la Guadeloupe.

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

En el programa de hoy, Fernando Villegas y Nicole Rodríguez analizaron las recientes declaraciones del presidente Gabriel Boric sobre gobernabilidad, vinculándolas con la ausencia de protestas y el rol que ha jugado la izquierda en movilizaciones anteriores. Se debatió la confusión ideológica del socialismo democrático y su cercanía con la izquierda radical, especialmente en el contexto de las primarias presidenciales. También se discutió la incoherencia del lenguaje político actual, la polarización ideológica, y la debilidad de las propuestas de centro. En el plano internacional, abordaron la guerra entre Rusia y Ucrania, la relación estratégica entre Rusia y China, y el espionaje chino desde Brasil. Finalmente, se expuso un detallado reportaje sobre las irregularidades en la Fundación Salvador Allende, incluyendo transacciones con cuadros para saldar deudas con el Estado y posibles conflictos de interés entre el Estado y la familia Allende. Se planteó una crítica dura al uso de fundaciones políticas para beneficio personal con dinero público.

Gustavo Mártin Montenegro llegó a Australia en 1974 como exiliado político luego del derrocamiento del gobierno de Salvador Allende en Chile. Mártin Montenegro dedicó su vida a unir a la diáspora latinoamericana en Australia, a difundir la historia y cultura de este país y de los pueblos de las Primeras Naciones, y a defender los derechos humanos desde diversas organizaciones comunitarias.

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.

ORIGINALLY RELEASED May 21, 2018 Professor of History at ASU, Alex Aviña, returns to RLR to discuss the Chilean coup of 1973. In this gripping episode, Alex and Breht delve deep into the tragic and pivotal events surrounding the Chilean Coup of 1973.

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

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.

On this edition of Parallax Views, the Quincy Institute's Dr. Annelle Sheline, a frequent guest on the program and a former Biden-era State Dept. official who resigned over the U.S. handling of Gaza, returns to discuss her briefing "Under Primacy, Weapons Sales Will Always Supersede Human Rights". But first we discuss the article she recently co-wrote for Responsible Statecraft entitled "Trump drops news bomblet: Direct US-Iran talks this Saturday". The conversation begins with a discussion of Netanyahu's meeting with Donald Trump earlier this week and some talk about the upcoming talks between the U.S. and Iran. We then get into the main event of this conversation: the ways in which weapons sales have trumped human rights rhetoric in U.S. foreign policy. For as much as the United States has often talked about human rights, it has often sold weapons to autocratic human rights abusers. We'll discuss a number of historical moments related to this including the assassination of Salvador Allende and the bloody Chile coup of 1973, Jimmy Carter vs. Ronald Reagan on human rights & U.S. foreign policy, the Iran-Contra affair, the legacies of the Cold War and the Global War on Terror, how wars abroad often lead to repression at home (and concerns about Trump's plans for pro-Palestinian voices in America), bridging the gap between human rights and realism/U.S. national interests, a brief look at the Leahy Laws, sanctions and weapons sales, the U.S.'s unconditional support of Israel's actions in Gaza as undermining claims to defending human rights, and much, much more.
