The CIA’s own documents confirm they spent $8 million destabilizing Chile before the 1973 coup — and Nixon personally ordered it
Made a video going deep on the paper trail: Church Committee testimony, declassified NSA cables, Kornbluh’s Pinochet File. The part that still gets me is how openly Kissinger discussed it. “I don’t see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to the irresponsibility of its own people.”
Happy to discuss sources in the comments — this stuff is well-documented but rarely put together in one place.
