So how much influence did Nachmanoff have with Kissinger??

State Department officials thought that threats to US interests after Allende’s election were not serious.

Nachmanoff disagreed.

How far did we go in Chile. This shows you how we operate. More than a million dollars was used to shore up a newspaper.

Here was Nachmanoff’s plan:

Arnold Nachmanoff, suggested “we should probably take both options and link them”: the paper would receive $700,000 but the U.S. would “condition our support on an understanding that El Mercurio will launch an intensive public attack on the Allende Government’s efforts to force them out of business.”
