September 11, 1973 President Salvador Allende of Chile, the world's first democratically-elected Marxist head of state, has died in a revolt led by army leaders.
One report says the 64-year-old leader committed suicide rather than surrender to the commanders of the armed forces and the paramilitary police. Comment: Notice the bias of this report. It could have been written by Henry Kissinger himself.
And make no mistake, the same end is planned for Hugo Chavez. |

Associated Press Fri Sep 8, 2006 SANTIAGO, Chile - Chile's Supreme Court on Friday stripped former dictator Gen. Augusto Pinochet of immunity from prosecution for alleged abuses at one of his regime's most notorious detention centers - where the current president and her mother were tortured - a court official said.
The case, which involves 59 cases of torture and kidnapping at Villa Grimaldi, is the first time torture has been specifically mentioned in one of the numerous legal cases brought against the 90-year-old former dictator. |

September 8, 2006 MIAMI, Florida (AP) -- Ten South Florida journalists were reportedly paid thousands of dollars by the federal government for broadcasts aimed at undermining Cuban President Fidel Castro.
Pablo Alfonso, who reported on Cuba and wrote an opinion column for El Nuevo Herald -- the Miami Herald's Spanish-language sister paper -- was paid almost $175,000 since 2001 by the U.S. Office of Cuba Broadcasting to host shows on Radio and TV Marti, according to government documents obtained by The Miami Herald, which reported the story Friday. Olga Connor, a freelance reporter who wrote about Cuban culture for El Nuevo Herald, received about $71,000, and staff reporter Wilfredo Cancio Isla, who covered the Cuban exile community and politics, was paid almost $15,000 in the last five years, The Miami Herald reported. Alberto Mascaro, chief of staff of the U.S. Cuban broadcasting office, confirmed to The Associated Press that all 10 journalists had received payments but said he did not have the details and declined to comment further. |
