<< ....However, I guess if you're in favor of totalitarianism, or are one of the "power elite" that seeks to dictate and control masses of humanity for your own Empire building agenda, I could see why you'd be so adverse to unleashing DEMOCRACY around the world. Never have understood why you people are so hell-bent upon preventing democratic, and accountable, governments for the people of this planet. >> Kick out the dictators and support democracy! Uh huh. ....The possibility of Allende winning Chile's 1970 election was deemed a disaster by a US government who wanted to protect US business interests and prevent any spread of communism during the Cold War.[34] In September 1970, President Nixon informed the CIA that an Allende government in Chile would not be acceptable and authorized $10 million to stop Allende from coming to power or unseat him[35]. The CIA's plans to impede Allende's investiture as President of Chile were known as "Track I" and "Track II"; Track I sought to prevent Allende from assuming power via so-called "parliamentary trickery", while under the Track II initiative, the CIA tried to convince key Chilean military officers to carry out a coup.... ....After General Pinochet assumed power, United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger told President Richard Nixon that the U.S. "didn't do it," but "we helped them...created the conditions as great as possible." (referring to the coup itself)[43]. Recent documents declassified under the Clinton administration's Chile Declassification Project show that the United States government and the CIA sought the overthrow of Allende in 1970 immediately before he took office.... en.wikipedia.org
