i think it is important to stay focused on what the real power is behind the politicians.. in this case - the bankers and the cia.... the quote near the top of your article doesn't explain who 'kendall' is, but the rest highlights where the real power in western dumbocracies lies...

"After discussions with Kendall and with David Rockefeller of Chase Manhattan, and with CIA director...." - after, not before... politicians are beholden to these powerful forces...

Thanks for this grim reminder. I hope you’re right about a rising up against US/Western imperialism.

One correction: in this sentence “Pinochet’s murderous regime” not Kissinger’s (although the latter would mot be untrue…)

“What’s even clearer is that the US government — and Kissinger in particular — provided ample support to Kissinger’s murderous regime”

Thanks for posting this. Anything that reminds the Americans that they are not the whole world, and not the center of the universe, is helpful.

Capitalism vs socialism.

Could we try socialized capitalism....could that work. Excess profit going to society at large or shared among all within the company.
