The Other 9/11: Salvador Allende and Chile(libya360.wordpress.com) |
They just seem to focus on the fun times of a CIA assisted military dictatorship, the secret killings, and all that nonsense that comes with wiping out a democracy for nigh on two decades..
> In May 1973 the Supreme Court accused the government of flouting judicial decisions and the law. The medical and bar associations took a similar stance. On Aug. 22 the lower house of the Chilean Congress passed a resolution denouncing Allende’s power grab and calling on the military to uphold its oath to the constitution.
Not exactly the sort of coup that's normally portrayed. Allende getting a lower fraction of the vote than Hitler is also cute. (Slightly less than 37 percent vs slightly more than 37)
