September 11th marks 50 years since the violent overthrow of Chile’s elected leftist President, Salvador Allende. Washington’s central role in that coup is notorious, while the part played by Australian intelligence has long-been secret. Declassified documents shed some light, but raise more questions.
Abso-frigging-loutely right and one of the least known coups in CIA history.. fab short story of how that went down posted at site by WikiLeaks historian & researcher Gary Lord.
"While media reports at the time highlighted Arbib’s role as a “secret US source,” the WikiLeaks cables showed that the relationship between Washington and the Labor and trade unions apparatuses went much deeper.
This political machine serves as a conduit for Washington’s agenda. In fact, the documents revealed the extent to which US governments determine who will hold senior government posts, including the office of prime minister."
Fantastic link perfect reminder why CIA plotted to assassinate Julian Assange... wankers may call themselves public servants but are nothing but an organized crime ring!
👏 The ‘security’ people cited sound like young toadies to (US) power: ‘gawd, how embarrassing’; ‘what’ll the big guys think?’. I don’t doubt it’s a general attitude throughout 5 eyes. It’s intriguing how banal and dangerous they are.
Many thanks for this report. It sheds further light and further illustrates how Australia has become another vassal state of the Washington-centered Empire.
Great reportage. I wonder when will the CIA get its comeuppance... It's probably why the US is fighting so hard to keep Julian Assange locked up forever. You can imagine all the stuff Wikileaks could release to further "embarrass" Langley.
All (5) Anglo-Saxon countries are a festering boil on the body of the planet, their dirty paws are involved in every conspiracy, every upheaval, and the creation of every vile terrorist organization ! They have a thick skin on their faces to call themselves democratic, progressive and high culture ! :) When they are nothing more than a connected parasitic organism that sucks the planet's resources for its own benefit ! But sooner or later the planet will rise and eradicate this cancerous tumor !
And after all that.... 2 years later the US returns the favour by couping us right back
