A friend sent me a video that is apparently making the rounds. It's titled "#Modi the Boss," and features various world leaders praising Modi's popularity and greeting him.

Modi's #Bhakts are clearly in orgasmic bliss with this, and opponents say it's pure propaganda.

But there's more to this than meets the eye.

1. It's a fact that Modi's popularity fills world leaders with awe. They would give an arm and a leg to be as popular in their countries as Modi is in India. He can screw up worse than anyone can imagine and still be popular.

(2/)
2. In contrast, leaders of most world democracies have to worry about the #economy, #jobs, #Unemployment, #prices, #inflation, #recession, etc. If anything goes wrong with these, they might lose the next #election.

Un poco de historia sobre las Forestales.

En 1973 el ingeniero forestal Julio Ponce Lerou estaba casado con Verónica Pinochet Hiriart, y era un empleado mas de Inforsa (Industrias Forestales SA). [🧵] ☟
Cuando su suegro se hizo del poder, lo nombró jefe nacional de #CONAF, institución que se hizo cargo de la desaparecida CORA (Corporación de la Reforma Agraria), para llevar adelante la contra-reforma agraria, es decir, ☟

En la zona de Arauco devolvió campos a la familia Ebensperger. Cabe aclarar que el general Carlos Forestier, ☟

#Socialism leads to full Communism.
Paraphrasing Margaret #Thatcher.
How right she was!
President #Daoud brought about a Socialist Secular Revolution after doing a coup d'état against King #Zahir #Shah.
Soon to be followed by his assassination and the #PDPA #Communist takeover!
Well, nobody understood the dangers of collectivism during the Cold War better than General #Pinochet, Late Baroness #Thatcher, and #Lee #Kuan #Yew.
Americans were never really threatened by Marxist-Leninist or Marxist-Maoist Philosophy after the Communists were incarcerated
Ask a countless number of children, women and old, as to how Marxist Insurgencies and later Communist #Dictatorships destroyed their standards of living, and social stability through centralized social engineering.
#Chilean inflation stood around approx 1000% under #Allende.

Sul @fattoquotidiano di oggi @marcotravaglio pubblica un nuovo panegirico dello stupratore fascio-razzista #Montanelli, cercando di accreditarlo come antirazzista.

La realtà è che M. era profondamente razzista, oltre che un opportunista, che

Una semplice dimostrazione del razzismo di M. è in uno schifoso articolo di dicembre dell'anno successivo l'incontro, a cui Travaglio crede.

#BULRICH TENÍA RAZÓN
Ayer el presidente de Chile🇨🇱 @sebatianpinera hizo una GRAVE DENUNCIA tras los ataques que las #RAM (Fuerza Ancestral Mapuche) también llamadas #CAM, a raíz de los últimos atentados en la #Araucanía
El TERROR que ya denunciaba @PatoBullrich🇦🇷
Al principio también sentí cierta reticencia hacia @PatoBullrich como exministra de seguridad. No estaba tan convencido de que realmente “esa la Piba” que desafió a Moyano en el programa de Mariano Grondona, había dejado atrás a “la joven”. El #PJ✌️no dio chances. Pero la apoyé.
Lo cierto es que muchos políticos y la brutal embestida del fundamentalísimo K) criticaba a @PatoBullrich cuando empezó a definir a las #RAM como a grupos terroristas.
Incluso desde adentro de #JxC tuvo quejas, y ni hablar del grueso del periodismo.
#Piñera agregó además que:

1. Last September,I gave evidence as a witness of fact in the Julian #Assange #ExtraditionHearing, and I reconstructed, among other things, how the US #Cables allow to reveal what happened behind the scene in the #extraordinaryRendition of the Milan cleric, #AbuOmar
2. the US diplomacy #cables revealed by #WikiLeaks allow to expose how the US put pressure on Italian politicians,both conservative and progressive,to grant #impunity to 26 US nationals, almost all of them, #CIA agents involved in the #extraordinaryRendition of #AbuOmar
3. we Italian journalists could guess such pressures by the US on our politics, however, without #WikiLeaks' cables, we would have never ever been able to get evidence. It was amazing when I got access to the #WikiLeaks cables and found such evidence: a journalist's dream

🇨🇱 Hoje faz 47 anos que o #Chile mergulhou em um dos períodos mais nefastos de sua história. #Pinochet, financiado pelos Estados Unidos, aplica um golpe que leva ao suicídio de Salvador #Allende e põe uma junta militar no comando do maior produtor de cobre do mundo.+ Image
“Decidi. Vamos tirar Allende”, foi o que disse o então presidente dos EUA Richard #Nixon a um de seus assessores dois anos antes do dia 11 de #setembro de 1973. Medidas como a nacionalização das reservas de cobre, a estatização de empresas estratégicas e a #ReformaAgrária +
foram algumas das que desagradaram a #CasaBranca.
Reza o Destino Manifesto que a América é para os “americanos” (do Norte, claro). Portanto, Allende era inaceitável. A resposta ao seu governo foram 17 anos de uma ditadura sangrenta que aprofunda a dependência que pode ser vista+

1. I think Italian columnists accusing #Snowden of covering up the deaths of innocent people like #Nemtsov and other #Russian dissidents exemplifies how reactionary Italian journalism.
2. Back in '70s, Italy granted #asylum to political dissidents escaping from #Pinochet's Chile. In those days Italy had governments involved in political homicides(Pecorelli, etc) and the so-called #StrategyOfTension's TerrorAttacks(#PiazzaFontana,#Italicus,#Brescia,#Bologna)
3. Have we ever asked political dissidents escaping from #Pinochet's Chile who had got asylum from #Italy to condemn the criminality of the Italian institutions involved in the political homicides or in the #StrategyOfTension's #TerrorAttacks? NEVER ever

1 .@bbhorne dear Lorax, I just want to clarify that my argument goes beyond #WikiLeaks: I think ALL media orgs and ALL sorts of journalists should have the right to communicate internally and with sources PRIVATELY: unless we protect our comms, no one will talk to us anymore
2. .@bbhorne if tomorrow someone publishes #DDoSecrets' internal comms, I will defend your right to communicate privately internally and with sources. I also defend the right to communicate privately for lawyers and clerics
3. .@bbhorne of course,if journalists/lawyers/clerics are involved in serious crimes or serious ethical violations, I agree that prosecutors and journalists have the right to violate the privacy of their comms. As for diplomats, things are different

Idolo total del @ColoColo y de la selección de #Chile, Caszely ganó 8 títulos con el club colocolino y fue la gran figura de "El equipo que retrasó el golpe" que jugo la Copa Libertadores del 73, perdiendo la final con #Independiente. ImageImageImageImage
El goleador pertenecio al equipo del 73 de Colo Colo, al que algunos sostienen que cada vez que jugaba mantenia a Chile unido en un contexto de fuerte tension política. Ademas como el equipo estaba muy vinculado con Allende,cada vez que ganaba traía tranquilidad a las autoridades Image

1. rispondo a chi mi ha criticato sul cablo del 1978 in cui #Montanelli dice alla diplomazia USA: meglio un #Pinochet che un governo del #PCI. Il cablo originale è qui (inglese): wikileaks.org/plusd/cables/1… è stato desecretato dalle stesse autorità USA e ripubblicato da #WikiLeaks
2. la critica che mi è stata fatta privatamente è la seguente: lei difende la #privacy e poi diffonde il cablo di un giornalista che parla confidenzialmente con una sua fonte?
3. il giornalista #Montanelli NON parlava con una sua fonte,parlava con diplomazia della più grande potenza mondiale,che ha OBBLIGHI di trasparenza. La conversazione #Montanelli -diplomatici USA è del 1978:Dipartimento Stato l'ha desecretata dopo ben 36 ANNI

🇨🇱⛏️ En el día de su nacimiento, vamos a hablarles de la historia política del club @ClubDepCobresal, el club minero nacido en la dictadura de #Pinochet y que fue resignificado por sus socios.

#Cobresal, Fuerza y temple minero! Image
Creado en 1979 x decisión de #Pinochet y con dinero de la empresa minera estatal de cobre Codelco. Él sabia q los mineros de #Chile podian representarle un problema político. Por eso la decisión de crear clubes como forma de control social y de propaganda politica de la dictadura Image
#Cobresal se fundó en ese mismo asentamiento minero llamado El Salvador, con una población de 6 mil habitantes y ubicada en uno de los lugares más remotos de la tierra, un cerro en el desierto de #Atacama.

THREAD: What the #US media won't tell you about the popular rebellion in #Chile.

In 1973, #Nixon/#Kissinger provoked a coup to overthrow the democratically elected #socialist government of Salvador #Allende, leading to the 17-year nightmare of the #Pinochet dictatorship.
In addition to torturing, disappearing, and murdering thousands of dissidents, Pinochet turned #Chile into a laboratory experiment for #neoliberalism. With the help of Milton #Friedman and the "Chicago Boys," they set to work privatizing everything they could get their hands on.
Health, education, pensions, roads, even WATER-everything was sold off to #Pinochet's cronies. #Chile became the shining, model state for our new, post-Keynesian world. That this only could've happened by installing a #fascist dictatorship was omitted.

Power Versus the Press: The Extradition Cases of #Pinochet & #Assange

consortiumnews.com/2019/06/28/pow…
This article is an updated take on a piece published last year.
"Citing the aging Pinochet’s inability to stand trial, the UK in 2000 ultimately prevented him from being extradited to Spain where he would have faced prosecution for human rights abuses."

The plethora of crimes committed during the military dictatorship of Augusto #Pinochet in Chile between 1973 and 1990 were exactly the type of abuse of power that Julian Assange would uniquely expose through #WikiLeaks
Both Assange and Pinochet have battled against extradition from the #UK, with vastly different outcomes and contrasting positions taken by the UK govt. The UK supported Pinochet, a human-rights abuser, and persecuted #Assange, a journalist who has exposed crimes of the powerful.
