RE: The Coup of 9/11 - A Day Observed by Many for Decades
I knew that this happened, but never looked into the details - now you've done it for me! What is the story with Pinochet nationalizing the mines and some other things? What was the reasoning behind that?
in fact, it was the contrary. Pinochet was put there because the US got enraged with Salvador Allende's copper nationalization.
It's a tangled mess trying to work through it all. You know how new regimes rewrite history. When Pinochet was voted out, a lot was done to discredit him and those who worked with him, including the imprisonment of many. It was really quite a train wreck. And it's tough to know how the new leaders spun things.
I am skeptical of just about anything I read regarding this. First-hand accounts from people alive to tell about it are credible, but still influenced by perspective and morphed by years.
If you find out, let me know. :)
