On September 11, 1973, the Chilean military, led by General Pinochet and supported by the CIA, staged the Chilean coup of 1973 against Allende.
Just prior to the capture of the La Moneda (the Presidential Palace), with gunfire and explosions clearly audible in the background, Allende made what would become a famous farewell speech to Chileans on live radio, speaking of himself in the past tense, of his love for Chile and of his deep faith in its future.
The renowned neo-nazi intellectual and former Chilean diplomat Miguel Serrano (who was the mentor to many in the fascist “Patria y Libertad” movement, which was instrumental in overseeing the CIA’s backed programme of destabilization in Chile) often spoke about Allende’s “Jewishness” or his “Judeo-Bolshevik” agenda.

The purpose of an election is to gauge the preferences of the electorate.
Had the 2000 election been decided by a large margin, this debate would still be of constitutional importance due to the fact that the idea of online vote-swapping was crushed by the mere threat of prosecution.

At Chile’s presidential palace, meanwhile, Cabinet ministers and advisers were still scratching their heads Monday over Fujimori’s decision to use Santiago as a base for his efforts to regain the Peruvian presidency in next year’s elections.
The presidential adviser was referring to a move by Peru’s Congress last week to claim as Peruvian territorial waters some 35,000 square kilometers (13,500 square miles) of ocean - an area about the size of Massachusetts and Connecticut combined - that according to previous charts belonged to Chile.
The fugitive said days ago from Japan that he was preparing to return to Peru, despite the 21 charges he faces and the Lima government’s vow to arrest him the minute he set foot on Peruvian soil.
