How to Cover Up War Crimes: Kissinger and Chile

Kissinger and Chile, or, the Mechanics of a Propaganda Cover-Up. Commentary has recently published a column by a “scholar” from the American Enterprise Institute rehearsing some well-worn arguments concerning US involvement (or lack, thereof) in the coup which replaced elected President Salvador Allende, a self-professed “Marxist” with dictator General Pinochet. In the main, it involves a spurious defense of Henry Kissinger, based partially on a reading of telephone transcripts not currently in the public domain but which the impish Kissinger has kindly allowed him to peruse in advance. Drawing selectively on declassified documentary evidence, he claims to construct a case against Kissinger’s indictment and against any blame being apportioned to the Whitehouse either for the death of General Rene Schneider or the coup attempt in 1973. He compares his suggestions to Christopher Hitchens’ book The Trial of Henry Kissinger and also a BBC documentary with a similar name. Unlike Falcoff, I’ve read the book and watched the film. So the gaps that emerge in his account prove relatively simple to fill.

ps: This goes out for all those who wrote in defense of Kilroy-Silk - this banausic, irrelevant, insufferable poetaster of racist filth. You should be absolutely ashamed of defending such manifest pap, not simply on account of its racism but because of its transparent lack of literary flair, or even grammar. Because "a number" of Arabs once crashed a plane into the twin towers, that grants noone carte blance to describe Arabs tout court as "suicide bombers" "limb amputators" etc. If anyone doubts that the vast majority of Arabs have nothing to do with such practises, my suggestion is that you seek help. Those of you who attempted to dress this up in an argument about "free speech" seriously need to reconsider your priorities - is it more important for a racist to have 'free speech', or for Arabs, Muslims and black people to have the right to walk around this country without fear of being abused and insulted. There is such a thing, in case you have missed it, as incitement to racial hatred. I'm afraid in this case, Kilroy has more than crossed that line. As for the line about "abuse" as opposed to analysis - honestly, does it require any research or subtlety of thought to discover that Robert Kilroy-Silk behaves in precisely the manner ascribed to him? Have you ever watched his programme? The berk loves the sound of his own voice, is intolerant to views he disagrees with, encourages bigotry and simplistic platitutes, each and every morning. Everything I said about him is true, and if he doesn't agree, let's see him sue.

Kissinger was the translator for Operation Paperclip,1947...
Through Kissinger's policies of constant warfare, the Rockefellers have maintained their aristocratic families Machiavellian supremacy of the capitalist western world. Some of their dirtiest secrets:
Henry Kissinger worked for the Rockefellers his whole life and in this function utilised Nazi war criminals as advisors to CIA installed dictators in South America, especially Gen. Pinochet of Chile.
Rockefeller stooge Henry Kissinger was a US Army translator for Nazi POWs in 1947. On September 11, 1973, Kissinger installed the Pinochet dictatorship in Chile, which used the same war criminals to run torture centers and death squads.
Standard Oil Company (today Exxon-Mobil), the Rockefeller family jewel, was partnered with IG Farben (today Bayer, Hoechst, and BASF corporations), which built Auschwitz concentration camp for slave labor, where 4 million Jews were brutally mass murdered.
After extensively collaborating with the Nazis in WWII, John D Rockefeller II used his lawyer and cousin, Allen Dulles to utilise Nazis held prisoner by the US Army in three ways: 1)Install Hitlers' SS spy agency as West Germanys' new spy agency, led by Reinhard Gehlen, Hitlers' master spy who had tortured 4 million Russian POW's in WWII. Gehlen remained head of the BND (Germanys' CIA) until 1968, with SS veterans remaining in control well into the 70's. 2)Dulles brought 2000 Nazi scientists to the USA to run NASA's rocket programs and develop various weapons of mass destruction for the US military industry. This was called "Operation Paperclip". 3)Dulles and his trusty translator Henry Kissinger (of "Army Intelligence") in 1947 devised the "Ratline" by which thousands of Nazi war criminals were secreted away to Argentina. From there they went on to become torturers and assassins for various South American dictators supported by the CIA, including Alfredo Stroessner of Paraguay, the military juntas of Brasil, Hugo Banzer of Bolivia, Pinochet of Chile, and Videla of Argentina's "dirty war". In fact, Kissinger installed Gen. Pinochet on September 11, 1973, as dictator of Chile, to preserve Rockefeller business interests, massacring 3000 people in the violent overthrow of Chiles' democracy. Pinochet hosted Nazi war criminals at Colonia Dignidad, a torture and execution center run by 300 Germans who still live there today. In 1976, when Nelson Rockefeller was Vice President of the USA, Kissinger, CIA-Director George Bush Sr, and Pinochet collaborated with the other dictators to assassinate 30,000 leftist activists, throughout South America, in "Operation Condor". This was based out of Colonia Dignidad, and is extensively documented in the "Archives of Terror", found in Paraguay in the '80s. Today David Rockefeller is the scion of his families' empire, as Chairman of Chase-Manhattens' International Advisory Board, as founder and Chairman of the Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) and of the Trilateral Commission, as Chairman of Rockefeller Center (headquarters of Time-Warner and NBC, etc). Paul Bremer III, former Director of Kissinger Associates, is today Bush's ruler of Iraq
