Anyone else noticed the odd coincidence of the NYC atrocity with

Amerikkka's
cynical destruction of Chile's elected government to be replaced by

military
dictatorship?


Also the toll there was around 3,000.... Karma, man, karma........


Only 3000 died in Chile during the CIA coup and subsequent generation-long
military dictatorship? Seems on the low side to me. Hmmm.


BBC site gives 3000 for the death toll *during the CIA coup itself*.

http://www.memoriaviva.com/Desaparecidos/list.htm

gives a list of 1197 named 'disappeared' people during Pinochet's vile
reign, which, let's repeat it, only happened because

"The issues are much too important for the Chilean voters to be left to
decide for themselves."

"I don't see why we need to stand by and watch a country go communist due to
the irresponsibility of its people."

(both from good ole Henry Kissinger, though you could be forgiven for
suspecting they would be from someone wearing a Hakenkreuz!)

http://www.trentu.ca/~mneumann/pinochet.html gives some specimens of his
malodorous regime's US-supported torture activities. Not for the
faint-hearted.

Personally I suspect you might well be able to add a zero to that 3000
figure but I haven't been able to find anything authoritative. Maybe nobody
knows. Sad.
