    Augusto Pinochet became President of Chile on September 11, 1973, after overthrowing the democratically elected President Salvador Allende with support from the U.S. Government. His nearly 17-year rule was marked by severe human rights abuses and an assault on democracy, with the impacts still felt in Chile today. The full extent of his regime's terror, including the fate of many victims, only began to be uncovered through reports published in the early 2000s.

    @javieraravena5345 Před 14 dny +15

    The video skips a few details here and there, so while it is a somewhat good summary, it isn't airtight:
    -While CIA documents attribute themselves a good deal of the credit, they tend to ignore or downplay local actors and factors and center on/overemphatize what they did.
    -The reason Carlos Prats renounced command was because there had been an earlier coup attempt months prior to september 11 and with his authority questioned, he felt he couldn't lead the army anymore. Pinochet was selected as replacement under his own recomendation, because he was seen as a career officer and apolitical. In fact he joined the coup very late, like on the last days. Up until the moment itself, it was the navy officer Toribio Merino who helmed the coup.
    -There is no doubt Allende killed himself, unless from the far left elements of chilean politics. Even people that were with him defending the Palace said he killed himself. The reason 2 bullet wounds were found om his body has been pointed at the idea that he shot and only mortally wounded himself, so a member of his personal guard finished him off to not make him suffer unnecessarily.
    - Dead told has solidly been around 3000 for decades now, and not for the first months but for the entire duration of his rule. What has increased has been the number tortured folk, as people have been stepping up to tell their tales.
    -Pinochet was sent back to Chile in part due to Spain's flagrant disregard for chilean judicial process, because they had the idea that they had universal jurisdiction on human right violation cases. It is a highly controvertial topic, and got them in issues with other countries. They only cut it out when they tried that with China and got threatened with an embargo

    Pinochet was originally a French vampire (last name Pinoch) that fled after the French Revolution in 1800. He pledged revenge on all revolutionaries and participated covertly in various conflicts around the world but could only find stability after he reached Chile. There he realized he could lead a nation again by force and enlisted in the army rising through the ranks until 1973 he got the opportunity to lead the coup d tat against Allende. In 1990 he was though ousted and had to flee again amid popular unrest and strong opposition of the country he helped fight communism and has not been seen in many decades. It is rumored that he is yet to return and take revenge on the political class, however he left a (non vampire) family that destroyed his fortune and heritage by corruption and lavish life style.

      Pinochet fue un heroe para mi país, y es casi injusto culparlo de los crímenes de los militares en una época de la guerra fría.
      Aún peor, Allende quien era un terrorista masón de la KGV destruyó la economía de mi país hasta el punto de que la población marchó para pedir a los militares salir a quitarle el poder a Allende, Allende sabía del golpe y armó a las personas pagando les con comida por la pobreza de la época.
      Muchos de los soldados Chilenos de la época no eran mentalmente estable y muchos de ellos cometieron crímenes de guerra, pero qué se le puede hacer si el país está inestable y sin dinero?.
      Además fue con Pinochet que Chile se estabilizó y pudo salir de la pobreza porque no intervino en la economía del país liberalizando la economía.
      El único crímen del cual sí sabe que hizo y está documentado, fue robar dinero del estado: 20.000 dólares en 17 años, mientras que el presidente actual Boric en su primer año ha robado 70.000 dolares.
      Tampoco el video explica porqué Pinochet llegó al gobierno sin educación y es porque la mayoría de los comunistas que apoyaron a Allende no tenían educación ni tampoco tenían estudios.
      Tampoco el vídeo menciona que fue Pinochet el mejor presidente de la nación Chilena en su historia, porque por 10 años Chile estabilizó su economía a tal punto que Chile salió de una inflación del 400% con el gobierno de Allende.
      Ni tampoco explica que el enemigo de la nación Chilena durante el gobierno de Pinochet era el MIR que era un grupo terrorista comunista armado que le robaba las casas a las personas del campo para llevar a cabo la llamada: "Reforma agraria". Literalmente: Sacar a toda la gente de la ciudad a trabajar al campo y que los jefes de las granjas fueran los alcaldes municipales.
      Un completo fracaso y despropósito la verdad tratar de defender el gobierno comunista anterior a Pinochet, pero Pinochet tiene pecados pendientes:
      Su gobierno mando a disparar a los ladrones, terroristas, violadores, mafias y empresas fraudulentas con fuerza militar.
      Llevó a cabo el plan condor orquestado por estados unidos para esclavizar a Latinoamérica con Estados Unidos durante la guerra fría. Pinochet le prometió Cobre más barato y la mina de Chuquicamata, que luego nunca cumplió.
      Pinochet llamó a profesionales de diferentes universidades y les ordenó crear una constitución nacional y los generales y militares podían tomar el poder durante el gobierno de Pinochet, pero la condición para que esto nunca ocurriera fue legislar para hacerse con el poder en una dictadura militar.
      Eso sin mencionar que los únicos en mi país que de verdad odian y detestan a Pinochet son los comunistas, los cuales nunca han traído nada bueno históricamente a mi país.
      Desde subidas a la dieta parlamentaria, menos poder de fuerzas armadas, menos armamento a carabineros y leyes para liberar presos y la multiplicidad de partidos que solo ofrecen subir los impuestos para pagar las exigencias del pueblo.
      Pinochet es un héroe nacional y el único presidente que pidió nunca construir estatuas en su nombre.
      Según las personas de mi país, todos le tenían miedo a Pinochet, tanto que cuando votaron por el "NO" todos creían que Pinochet perseguiría y mataría a los opositores, pero para mala suerte para los comunistas, simplemente obedeció el "NO" y cedió el poder a un derechista Erwin, un ladrón, mentiroso y pésimo presidente que además de ser el que volvió a abrirle las puertas al partido comunista y socialista, tuvo que organizarse una ley para que al salir del poder Chile le pagara un sueldo anual de 7.000 dolares hasta su muerte, algo que Pinochet nunca hizo.
      Hoy en día, los comunistas cada vez que la derecha les gana un debate los comunistas hablan de Pinochet y dicen que somos fascistas por no pensar como ellos. Pero la realidad, es que Chile ya no resiste a los comunistas, y únicamente exigen que otra vez se levante un derechista radical al poder, aunque en broma y sarcasmo se ríen y burlan de los comunistas diciendo que: "Chile necesita a otro Pinochet".

      Those people defend reality. Allende stole from private citizens and foreign companies, just like every other leftist in human history. Thankfully we had leadership that defended the interests of our normal citizens who did not wish to live in a communist country. The only reason you are more, is because Pinochet was such a soft dictator that most people were exiled, so much so, that many of them exiled themselves for the refugee status. Hunger and Crime in communist countries kill more than Pinochet could ever dream of. That's why he survived, that's why there's a whole generation that grow up under his regime that is well educated and actually build up the Oasis miracle of south America while you still bitching about something you know nothing about. You don't judge the son for the crimes of the father just like you don't take the word of someone who was not there over someones who was. René Schneider had already been murdered by the CIA, The USA was/is a much stronger country at the time and their interests aligned with Chilean citizens, Allende didn't win because he did so much for the working class, he was an example of classism. He was just charismatic but he was friends with Fidel, a man who turned his own country into a Prison Island. Yall should be more thankful our military was wise enough to chose the right side, and do so little harm compared to every single other dictator in history. Demonstrators need to go work and stop bitching about something their own parents understand.

    Hello, I am Chilean and a follower of this channel, I love that you are interested in the history of my country and that is why I would like to mention 2 points about the video that seemed imprecise to me.
    1: Although Pinochet and the dictatorship is by consensus and especially by the government as something negative, it is a popular opinion that this was necessary due to the decadent situation that the country was going through thanks to the communist government, even more extremist groups that approve of all the violence and crimes that were committed against communist groups(Especially because of that cartoonish scene about Pinochet as the devil.)
    2: Salvador Allende committed suicide, the theory about a covert murder does not make sense, this is because the military forces at no time had the intention of going unnoticed, if Allende had been murdered it would have simply been announced, it even makes sense that he did it, after From all over the world he could have had the same fate as his companions and been tortured and interrogated and later disappeared.

    This also happened in Mexico, but much worse, between 1974 and 1981, known simply as the "Dirty War." The military took political dissidents, mostly students, tortured them at a military base, and then took the body or bodies of the dissidents to a plane and threw them into the sea. This was called years later as the Flights of Death.

  • @sebastiangeller8637

    I take Pinochet took the idea of throwing people from helicopters from the Algerian War (Bigeard's shrimps were called those ALN/FLN or other pro-Algerian death flight victims iirc. The Argentinians next door did the same thing). There were cases where it was alleged that some executed people were thrown into volcanoes. And Carlos Prats, Pinochet's previous General in charge had quit his post because he had the brilliant idea of shooting a woman's car after he'd mistaken it with the same model some youths were driving and had thrown insults at him (and got lucky after a taxi driver got him and his wife away from the angry crowd that gathered). And the most ironic thing of all was that Allende had been offended by Pinochet when the latter denied the former a visit to a detention camp around the late 40s in the northern part of the country when the communist party was outlawed in 1948 following Gabriel Gonzalez Videla's election. Allende knew the surname of the transgressor but didn't realize that two officers shared it, the one an engineer university graduate and the latter the career officer that later executed the coup d'etat. Allende had him all along and he went to the grave most likely never finding that out.

    I am from Chile, where all this happened, the truth is that this stage of our country was one of the darkest that it has ever gone through, it is not denied that they left good things such as economic advances and stability, but you cannot be blind to deny the murders of people, the disappeared detainees who until now their families are trying to know where they are or what has happened to them, at this moment Chile has enjoyed a ´´clean´´ democracy since 1990 and I hope it continues that way, long live the freedom, long live democracy and long live Chile

      Allende and the Left didnt leave krapo except economic ruin, chaos and mayhem. And I had to know because I was a student working for them at the time. All what the Left has brought to Chile in every single occasion they have been in power is unemployment, chaos, criminality and illegal immigration out of control. Today the Communists are back in power and once again the Chilean economy is in full colapse, inflation is skyrocketing and unemployemt to the point that many Chileans are begging for another Pinochet and the erradication of the Comunist party.

    Cool vid. During Augusto Pinochet's regime in Chile from 1973 to 1990, it is estimated that approximately 3,000 people were killed or disappeared due to political repression. According to the Valech Report and the Rettig Report, two major investigations into human rights abuses during his rule, around 28,000 people were tortured, and tens of thousands were imprisoned. The exact number of deaths and disappearances may vary slightly depending on the source, but the generally accepted figure is around 3,000.
    3,000 is a lot.
    there is the Guatemalan Civil War, but they only have about 200,000 killed. not 3,000.
