The coup against Salvadore Allende and Chile's democracy by greedy American imperialists

Ramon Ramos
   The rise of communist Salvador Allende to the presidency and the wicked plot against him is the plot of this true crime novel of the American empire perhaps its most notorious act during the cold war. Fear of a growing assertive Latin American whose people were fed up of the inequality and distorted rule by their governments working against the best wishes of the population put an avowed social in power after winning a free and democratic election.

A book called "Story Of A Death Foretold " tells the story how the Nixon administration worked on this coup on the interests of multinational firms and worked hard to undermine Chiles sovereignty ,dignity, and self-determination in electing the leaders it wanted to represent them. Author Oscar Guardiola-Riveria explains the buildup in Chile's history that made them reverse directions and elect Salvador Allende in office after he failed the previous election cycle in Chie. Foreign policy dictators in America feared this proud nation from going the way of Cuba and standing up to American business profiteers that were ripping this country's wealth and exporting it to the banks in North America. This was another country that the CIA considered apparently part of the American empire and they were paranoid about another South American country getting closer to the Soviets.The vampirism actions of North American firms in this time period cannot be underestimated with producing the inequality of the Americas and leading people to revolutionary fervor and a hardening view against the manifest destiny of American corporate values that were plaguing now South America.
   The inexorable actions of American free-market global capitalism needed a backlash and the people were more than willing to elect new leaders in Latin America that would end the chimerical visions of democracy promotion fro the United States which meant leaders that bow-towed to our business classes who monopolized and held productive land in Southern hemisphere countries.Following Allende's deposition, army General Augusto Pinochet declined to return authority to the civilian government; and Chile became ruled by a military junta that was in power from 1973 to 1990, ending democracy in this land and putting to power a insane dictator on par with Saddam Hussein. Pinochet's soldiers created thousands of disappearances in the name of free-market world trade where the pendulum of profits and incomes swung in the direction of the Americans. This book gets involved with the internal politics of Chile prior to their 9/11 with a bunch of long-forgotten or never learned names and cabinet members that were in a continuous flux and it is interesting how this country so far way from Washington could of been such a major concern that the crooked Nixon administration would actually overthrow its government. Another disgusting act in a long historical action in the name of American style democracy for other parts of the world.
