Castro Tried to turn chile into a Communist Pardise!

He spent 6 months with Allende and his legion of little Girls. The swedish embassey is the caretaker for Cuba’s assets in Chile... and their chilean staff at the Cuban Ambassadors residence Talked in the 19980’s

Castro was a Major perve...

How disgusting this PM would meet castro..Disgusting.

Chile was one week from Communism! luckily 9-11-1973 they Took Control!

Pinnochet let Capitalism Flourish... and he flushed out all the socialist Programs.. They Know Have Privatize Social security and Private medical! there old system was modeled after England!
