Propagandists may repeat the mantra “Zelensky is a Jew, so he cannot be a Nazi” as often as they want, but the truth is that radicals control the political process in Ukraine through violence against those who dare confront their nationalistic and supremacist agendas. The case of Anatoliy Shariy — one of the most popular bloggers in Ukraine living in exile—is a good example to illustrate this point. Not only does he, along with his family members, permanently receive death threats, radicals constantly intimidate the activists of his party (banned by Zelensky in March 2022), beating and humiliating them. This...

Back in 1988, General Augusto Pinochet had run Chile for 15 years. He overthrew President Salvador Allende in 1973 and took over a country in total chaos. His free market policies turned Chile around and created an economy that was the envy of the developing world. Unfortunately, he never had the legitimacy of an election. So he did something strange. He asked the people if he should continue and they had a "plebiscite." Pinochet lost and left power. This is the story: Gen. Augusto Pinochet's bid for eight more years in power ended in defeat today, as a united opposition...

The Chilean coup of 1973 offers hard lessons that many will not accept because these lessons do not appeal to superficial norms of fairness and tolerance. Almost nobody is more reviled by the international intelligentsia and media than the late Augusto Pinochet, the late 20th -century Chilean dictator. He holds a prominent position in the political left’s “rogues’ gallery” comprised of those who stood in opposition to their goals. His supposed “crimes” included conducting a military coup to illegitimately grab control of the Chilean government from a popularly elected president, rounding up and torturing huge numbers of innocent citizens (killing...

Illinois Review ^ | November 25, 2019 A.D. | John F Di Leo
Born in Valparaiso, Chile, on November 25, 1915, the great Latin American leader, General Augusto Pinochet. The very idea of referring to a Latin American ruler as “great” is a rarity. So many of the rulers south of the United States have been vicious, not just recently, but since ancient times. From the Incas and Aztecs of old to the Fidel Castros and Nicholas Maduros of the present, Central and South American rule has traditionally resulted in permanent poverty, usually awash in blood. Augusto Pinochet is the exception. He ruled from the date of his coup d’état, September 11, 1973,...

That Castroite Cubans not only influence the relevant power centers in socialist-destroyed Venezuela (i.e. military & secret police,) but staff and control these power centers, must be old- hat to Townhall readers by now.It’s been the catastrophic state of affairs for years by now: “Venezuela today is a country that is practically occupied by the henchmen of two international criminals, Cuba's Castro brothers,” declared Luis Miquilena who served as Hugo Chavez’s Minister of Justice for three years before finally resigning in disgust. “They (the Cubans) have introduced in Venezuela a true army of occupation. The Cubans run the maritime ports,...
 

What's the Best Book to Read on Augusto Pinochet?

Most are left-leaning, blaming the US for thousands of deaths. As I understand it he SAVED the country. I remember a Buchanan quote on McGlocklin: "Those that were killed should have been killed." Mean-but true? It's got me thinking. SO tell me which one is evenhanded and credits the man for Chile's success today.
 

The Myth of American Support for Pinochet

Medium ^ | July 9th 2018 | James Slate
Its become a common Anti American trope to blame the United States for PinochetÂ’s atrocities. Despite the fact that there was never any American Involvement in the 1973 coup which installed Pinochet, a criticism of US Foreign Policy has been of its support of Dictators and one of those commonly named is Pinochet. However the notion that the United States supported Augusto Pinochet is also a false one. From the Years of Upheaval By Henry Kissinger; "It soon emerged that there were major obstacles to assisting the new Chilean authorities. To be sure, loans from private banks increased sharply as...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KOIN) -- A number of Patriot Prayer supporters, including group leader Tusitala "Tiny" Toese, wore t-shirts at the Saturday protest in Portland that read: Pinochet did nothing wrong. Who is Pinochet? Augusto Pinochet was the leader of the military junta that overthrew Chile's President Salvador Allende on September 11, 1973. For the next 16 years, Pinochet was the head of Chile's military government. Information from Brittanica.com Thousands of his regime's opponents were tortured and during his nearly 17 years in charge he moved to crush Chile's liberal opposition. During the first 3 years of his regime, about 130,000...
