Does this assertion prove the CIA was not involved in the anti-Communist Coup?

That covert funds were not expended in furtherance of that coup?

It seems that there is no proof of public funds used covertly, but private funds may have been used to support Pinochet. IIRC, food aid was sent to dozens of countries, especially those that hated the US, since to NOT send food would have been cruel and callous. Except in the case of Chile.

Senator Kennedy mounted another effort to cut off aid to Chile in 1974.

Is there any record of a MAss democrat ever supporting democracy, anywhere in the world?

Not the fake “Peoples Republics” that were tied to the Soviet Union.
