Salvador Allende Gossens, painted portrait DDC_7697 by Abode of Chaos
On 9/11/2001, nineteen suicide bombers, almost all from Saudi Arabia, brought death to 2,623 Americans and 373 citizens of foreign countries at the New York World Trade Center and the Pentagon in Washington D.C. in what their spokesperson described as of retaliatory intention for years of American attacks on citizens and their families in Muslin countries.
Though no US action was taken against Saudi Arabia, from where came all but two of the suicide attackers (and much of US oil imports as well), hundreds of thousands of Americans in the US Armed Forces and perhaps as much as a hundred million Americans have been made to believe by corporate investor owned media constantly referring to the 9/11 attack of 2001, that US military action against Afghanis, Iraqis, Pakistanis, Yemenis, Somalis, maybe Libyans and Syrians as well, which have now taken more than two million lives, is, in some way or another, seen as payback for the 9/11.
The many times more deadlier CIA arranged and funded 9/11 attack on
Chile in 1973, which began with the Chilean Air Force bombing the
Presidential Palace at the request of the army, was for the successful
overthrow of a popularly elected socialist government and "meant to
maintain unjust predatory investments," or at least that is what Martin
Luther King Jr. had cried out in regard to all America's illegal
atrocity wars and covert homicide in his sermon "Beyond Vietnam, a Time
to Break Silence' six years and a half years earlier.
If there has been any talk of vengeance for, or prosecution of, this US
crime against humanity America committed on a 9/11 in Santiago, Chile,
back in 1973, this writer has not heard of it. This "9/11' that America
put on little Chile was a horrific and massive country wide crime
continued on beyond the bombing of the Presidential Palace and the
murder of the popular elected President of Chile, Dr. Salvator Allende
M.D., on the ninth of September, through seventeen years of systematic
torture, murder or disappearance of tens of thousands of Chileans and
the hunting down and murder of Chilean citizens in many countries abroad
until 1990, when the Chilean people put and end to it.
To your author's knowledge, no calls from Chilean leaders have been heard for vengeance and justice for the Chileans murdered on, and as a result of, the 9/11 of 1973 arranged, funded, facilitated and collaborated by the Nixon-Kissinger administration to benefit and protect vast American corporate investments in that country. Also, no attempts through courts for compensation for wrongful death, injury and suffering, except a lawsuit against Secretary of State, Henry Kissinger by the family of the assassinated General Schneider before and in preparation for the Chilean 9/11.
Juan Garcà ©s, author of the book Allende, and one of closest Allende's advisers
until his murder on September 11, 1973, describes: "The presidential
palace was being bombed by the Pinochet forces and Salvador Allende [who
would die within hours] was surrounded by advisers. Allende walked Juan
Garcà ©s to the door and said, "Tell the world".
The speculative investment bankers who own or control most US media and
information sources with world-wide satellite reach and, for whom the
vast public, private and self-funded CIA has made sure that "most of the
world will not to told,' of the 9/11 Chile has suffered.
For the same
reason, the world, carefully, has not reminded that six and a half
years earlier Martin Luther King Jr. in world shaking sermon, held America and Americans (including himself) responsible for "atrocity wars
and covert violence on three continents meant to maintain unjust
predatory investments." (In his Beyond Vietnam a Time to Break Silence
King had anguished over Americans participating, supporting, acquiescing
to and not conscientiously objecting to these atrocities being
criminally ordered by his government, which he dismissed as "the greatest
purveyor [not cause] of violence in the world." [read, hear King's

In praising and hailing the illegal, undeclared, unconstitutional US
Wars and genocidal foreign policy on the poorer countries of the now
neo-colonized mostly non-white Majority Mankind, CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS,
FOX, PBS, NPR, The New York Times, its owned Washington Post, Herald
Tribune, The Los Angeles Times, sex and sports tabloids like the NY
Daily News, NY Post, and the conglomerated radio stations across the
nation are by Mussolini's definition of the word, fascist. They operate
as a fascist cartel unwaveringly uncritical of US foreign policy,
disinforming by presenting news out of context and slanted according to
the needs of the criminal investment plans of what FDR described as "a
financial element in the centers of power that has owned the government
since the days of Andrew Jackson."
However, it is a long road that has no turning, and this writer expects
an eventual trial of America and Americans for Crimes Against Humanity
and Crimes Against Peace, will see more false war propaganda fabricating
celebrity anchors, commentators, publishers, editors and journalists
indicted than were indicted at the first and insufficient Nuremberg
Principles Trials. At Nuremberg only five Nazi media personalities were
tried and convicted, and the bankers and industrialists who made
fortunes building the Nazi war machine up to world #1 in but a few
years, were left free to continue criminal investing. These continuing
investments in war since 1945 have been a misfortune for many millions
of men, women and children killed in their own beloved countries in
invasions and bombings by Americans in uniform. [see Prosecute US Crimes

On This 9/11, Remembering Allende By Farooque Chowdhury, 11 September, 2013

"Recalling the coup-hours, Hugh O'Shaughnessy writes in The Observer, UK:
"Admiral Gustavo Carvajal, one of the plotters, was on the phone to
Allende offering him a plane if he would leave the country. But the
president was trenchant: "Who do you think you are, you treacherous
shits? Stuff your plane up your arses! You are talking to the president
of the republic! And the president elected by the people doesn't
surrender.'"
Hugh, who was in the Chilean capital during those disastrous days, saw
"the flames continuing to consume the Presidential Palace. Under curfew
the stadium began filling with Pinochet's prisoners: some were summarily
shot, others were sent to concentration camps in the Atacama deserts of
the north or the frigid sub-Antarctic south.
On 21 September 1970, Allende had been declared victor of clean
elections, but before he took over the presidency, after a fruitless
effort by Chilean conservatives and their US allies to have the victory
declared unconstitutional, Edward Korry, the US ambassador in Santiago,
reported to Henry Kissinger, the foreign strategist of President Richard
Nixon: "Once Allende comes to power we shall do all within our power to
condemn Chile and the Chileans to utmost deprivation and poverty'.
"A few days earlier Richard Helms, director of the CIA, had scribbled
notes on a meeting in Washington with Nixon, Kissinger and John
Mitchell, the US attorney general, where the president demanded a coup.
They read: "One in 10 chance perhaps, but save Chile! /worth spending
/not concerned risks involved /no involvement of embassy /$10,000,000
available, more if necessary/ best men we have/ game plan/ make the
economy scream /48 hours for plan of action.'" [from CIA files
declassified under freedom of information act suit.]
The journalist sketches the murderers' post-coup job:
Hugh, the author of "Pinochet, The Politics of Torture' (Latin America
Bureau and New York University Press) describes a few of those facts in
short and throws a question:
"Pinochet and his cohorts, well favoured now by Washington, turned to
making themselves fortunes from the privatisation of public services
and, quietly, from the trade in cocaine from Bolivia which the US never
seemed to want to criticise or attack."
"So confident was Pinochet in his protectors in "the free world' that on
17 September 1976 he ordered the killing of Orlando Letelier, Allende's
former defence minister, with a bomb planted in his car in Sheridan
Circle in the diplomatic heart of Washington itself. Such an atrocity,
had it been committed by any Arab or Iranian, or indeed a Muslim of any
persuasion, would have brought down instant punishment, or even war. But
Pinochet was in no danger. After all, he had been Nixon's man all
along." (ibid.)
So, ITT stepped in in the regime change game. The company owned
telephone companies in Chile.
The ITT-CIA alliance got activated. More
than 40 meetings between CIA and ITT officials were held. ITT wanted to
start funneling secret funds to Allende's opponent in the 1970 election.
One of the first documents that came out on US intervention in Chile
was the ITT memos recording ITT's meetings with the CIA and the US
ambassador.
El Mercurio, a mass media group, asked for US intervention. The media
group had relations with business houses that had private investments in
Chile.
