The United
States has been intervening covertly and overtly in many countries
since the late 1800s, however the CIA's first black ops date back to
the World War II after Harry S. Truman signed the act by which the
agency was created on July 26, 1947. The Central Intelligence Agency
is responsible for terrorism, assassinations, military coups and
rebellions around the globe and has deceitfully used many NGOs guised
as organisms that promote human rights, democracy, freedom and
economic development, including USAID, NED and IRI, just to mention a
few.
Their true
objective is imperialist in nature. The U.S. has interest in every
country, be it for its natural resources, cheap labor force or
because of its strategic geographical location.
In order to
meet its goals, the CIA recruits influential, intellectual and
charismatic personalities. The agency also resorts to threats,
kidnapping, torture, enforced disappearances and assassinations. The
organization incites violence, uprisings and military rebellion, and
causes economic chaos and misery to the people through scarcity of
basic foods and so on. The CIA has been exposed on a number of
occasions through documented evidence, leaks of information and
whistleblowing by active and former agents.
Chile
- 1973
Chile was another country brutally exploited by U.S.
corporations. Washington made sure the people lived in utter misery.
The CIA used different tactics but the results were the same. The
agency led a smear campaign against the government of Chile, as it is
currently doing in Venezuela. They used national and international
media to demonize President Salvador Allende. They made sure people
who had once been loyal to him because of his benevolent way of
governing turned on him.
How you ask?The same way they're doing it in Venezuela.
By causing scarcity through extortion, through torture, imprisonment,
enforced disappearances and by assassinating all those who refused to
bow to them. Washington was irritated beyond control after Allende
nationalized natural resources. They were also annoyed because
Allende built houses for those who couldn't afford homes. He made
sure his people had access to education. When Allende's popularity
was successfully undermined, the next step was to plan a coup against
him. It would now be easy. And Sep. 11, 1973, Gen. Augusto Pinochet
led the military all the way to the presidential palace with the
backing of the CIA, who provided him with all the necessary weapons
and armored vehicles.
War planes dropped bombs on the palace. Before he died,
Allende told his people: “I will not give up! Placed in a
historic transition, I will pay for the loyalty of the people with my
life. And I tell you with certainty that the which we have planted in
the good conscience of thousands and thousands of Chileans will not
be shriveled forever. They are strong and they may be able to
dominate us, but the social processes cannot be halted nor with crime
nor by force.” Pinochet ruled for 17 years. He jailed 80,000
people, tortured 30,000 and murdered 3,200.
