Brought the country to a standstill, making it almost ungovernable and contributing to the coup climate. The CIA's covert operations to overthrow Allende were first revealed in 1974 by American journalist Seymour Hersh in "The New York Times." The article caused an international scandal and the opening of an investigation with public hearings in the Senate, which resulted in the report Covert Action in Chile, 1963-1973 . In his testimony to the commission, Kissinger stated, according to the National Security Archives: “The intention of the US was not to destabilize or subvert, but to continue supporting [opposition] parties.” He added at another time: “Our concern was the 1976 elections and not at all a coup d'état like that of 1973, about which we knew nothing and with which we had nothing to do.”
The publication of secret documents from 1999 showed the opposite. In the days following the coup, Kissinger instructed the ambassador to convey to the head of the Military Junta, General Augusto Pinochet , the American Phone Number Database desire to cooperate with the coup government. When State Department advisors observed that hundreds of Chileans were being executed, Kissinger responded: “No matter how unpleasant its actions are, this government is better for us than Allende's.” September 11, 1973: Pinochet's betrayal New CIA documents declassified 50 years after the coup , the North American government declassified this Saturday (8/26/2023) two new CIA documents after a formal request from the Chilean president, Gabriel Boric . This is part of the daily intelligence report on the situation in the world that the US president received every morning. The open files correspond to September 8 and 11, 1973.
They show that until three days before the coup, the CIA was not sure that the Army and Air Force would join the Navy's coup attempt. He said, wrongly, that "if the hot heads of the Navy act believing that they will have support from the other services, they may become isolated." The report of the 11th , possibly written hours before the coup, says that the coup plans had gained support from “key military units.” He adds: “Although military officials are increasingly determined to restore political and economic order, they still lack an effectively coordinated plan that will capitalize on broad civilian opposition.” The United States government offered the Pinochet regime financial, military and diplomatic aid The United States government offered the Pinochet regime financial, military and diplomatic aid. An example was the collaboration of the CIA in the creation of the DINA , the Chilean secret police that carried out many of the kidnappings and executions of opponents.
