2. It Is Forbidden! Communistic absolvencies berate Bacon Capitalist’s! Our Marque is Red, beater, and John Barleycorn cut off at bends in legs!

3. No, the Trumpsters want to oust a democratically elected socialist so the CIA selected Communist puppet Guaido will reign. Just like the US did in Chile. History does bear witness to the ruthless evil the USA does to get control of a country for which it has no right to. What happened in Chile is what is also planned by Communists for Venezuela and the USA!

   Chilean coup: 40 years ago I watched Pinochet crush a democratic dream
   How the drama and repression developed as a US-backed coup overthrew Allende’s government on 11 September 1973

   “Thus had started 17 years of Pinochet’s dictatorship – he soon reduced his fellow members of the junta to a cipher – held together by terrorism. As had already been the case after the military coups in Brazil in 1964 and then in Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia and Argentina, and as was to be the case latterly in modern Iraq, Afghanistan and Guantánamo Bay, the military and police torturers were ready with their electrodes, thumbscrews and waterboarding equipment to defend “western Christian civilisation”. Many had been brought to a peak of perfection in their trade in the US itself or in its bases in the Panama canal zone by US instructors.

   Military dictatorship of Chile (1973–90)
   The military dictatorship of Chile (Spanish: dictadura militar de Chile) was an authoritarian military government that ruled Chile between 1973 and 1990. The dictatorship was established after the democratically elected government of Salvador Allende was overthrown by a CIA-backed coup d’état on 11 September 1973. The dictatorship was headed by a military junta presided by General Augusto Pinochet. The perceived breakdown of democracy and the economic crisis that took place during Allende’s presidency were justifications used by the military to seize power. The dictatorship presented its mission as a “national reconstruction”.

   The regime was characterized by the systematic suppression of political parties and the persecution of dissidents to an extent that was unprecedented in the history of Chile. Over-all, the regime left over 3,000 dead or missing, tortured thousands of prisoners, and forced 200,000 Chileans into exile. The dictatorship shaped much of modern Chile’s political and economic life. Two years after its ascension it implemented radical neoliberal economic reforms in sharp contrast to Allende’s leftist policies, advised by a team of free-market economists educated in American universities known as the . Later, in 1980, the regime replaced the Constitution of 1925 with a new one crafted by regime collaborators. Pinochet’s plans to remain in power were thwarted in 1988 when the regime admitted defeat in a referendum that opened the way for democracy to be reestablished in 1990. However, the regime took great care to ensure that the political and economic system it had created would remain unmodified. The regime also arranged for the military to be out of civilian control after the end of dictatorship.

   The Overthrow of Allende
   There were 3,197 victims of executions, “disappearance” and killings from 1973 to 1990, according to the Rettig Commission and its successor, the National Corporation of Reparation and Reconciliation. Government agents secretly disposed of more than 1,000 of these victims presumably after their torture and murder. Except in 178 cases, the fate or burial places of the “disappeared” remains unknown to this day. General Pinochet suppressed members of the Chilean armed forces who opposed the growing power of the DINA and its notoriously abusive behavior and called for an early return to democracy. In addition to extrajudicial executions, “disappearances,” and torture, Pinochet’s regime was also responsible for widespread arbitrary detention, lack of due process, exile and internal banishment of government opponents,and other systematic violations of civil and political rights.
