Cientos de miles de chilenos son perseguidos por su lealtad a la constitución y al gobierno legítimo de la Unidad Popular, liderado por el Presidente Allende. Allende y el cantor popular Víctor Jara son de las primeras víctimas de la dictadura.   Hoy en día, la justicia está en marcha, posibilitada por la memoria. A pocas semanas del procesamiento de los asesinos de Víctor Jara*, dos sobrevivientes de la dictadura de Pinochet presentarán sus testimonios, en un esfuerzo de rescatar la memoria histórica de este período gris.   Se entrelazará la historia chilena con la de EE.UU., desde su política hacia el exterior, incluyendo la Escuela de las Américas (SOA), y el legado de intervenciones encubiertas del Presidente Nixon.   "La historia es nuestra," como lo dijera el Compañero Presidente. La tenemos que recopilar, reconstruir y defender.
Survivors of the Pinochet Dictatorship - testimonials from the Concentration Camps   Program: music from the youth of Son del Centro, who just participated in the annual SOA Fort Benning protest testimonials from Tomà Gaete and Cosme Noriega, both detained at Tres Alamos documentary "El Mocito: the Story of DINA's Employee" (DINA was Pinochet's secret police) discussion and compilation of memories: our contribution to the new Memory Site   On September 11, 1973, the Chilean Right assumes command through a military strike. Hundreds of thousands of Chileans are persecuted because of their loyalty to the constitution and the legitimate government of the Unidad Popular, headed by President Allende. Allende and the popular singer Vistor Jara are the first victims of the dictatorship.   Nowadays, justice is on the march, made possible by the people's memories. A few weeks after the proceedings against Victor Jara's assassins, two survivors of Pinochet's dictatorship will present their testimonials, in an effort to rescue the historical memory of this grey period.   Chile's history will be intertwined with that of the U.S., from their foreign policy, including the School of the Americas (SOA), to the legacy of President Nixon's hidden interventions.   "History is ours", as our Comrade President would say. We have to compile, reconstruct and defend it.   We look forward to seeing you on the 23..and we'll have empanadas!   "Among the assassins of Victor Jara, are four graduates of the infamous School of the Americas (SOA) in the U.S."

Requested by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, the memo - a free-market utopian treatise - urged big business to make over government by controlling the media, academia, clergy, and arts and sciences, and by destroying organized labor and consumer protection groups.
