Hands up if you are a Neocon Fascist War Criminal and American Traitor.

Nikki Haley
Nikki Haley has ALWAYS been a strong supporter of al-Qaeda and an absolute enemy of EVERY decent American.

She is an enemy of all of Humanity.
Nikki Haley does the one finger salute to show her solidarity with the al-Qaeda and ISIS head chopping terrorists she has always supported in Syria.

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.

Chile, política e futebol: um fio🧶

Santiago, capital do 🇨🇱 e sede da final única da Libertadores, está em chamas. Apesar da Conmebol ainda não admitir, o palco do jogo entre River e Flamengo está ameaçado.

O caos está mais conectado ao futebol do que parece. Puxa o novelo aí:
Ninguém sabe como estará a situação do país no dia 23 de Novembro, data da final, já que os protestos não dão sinais de enfraquecimento. Muito pelo contrário: medidas desastradas do presidente Sebastián Piñera só jogaram gasolina na fogueira da insatisfação social. +
Na pior das suas decisões, o presidente Sebastián Piñera convocou as Forças Armadas para reprimir os protestos, declarando que o Chile estava "em guerra". Com isso, decretou toque de recolher e estado de emergência no país, piorando completamente a situação. +

1/ "At least 15 people have been killed in protests over inequality in the worst violence the country has seen in decades." - I'm writing this thread as I fish links and try to make sense of this to non-Latinamericans.

aljazeera.com/news/2019/10/c…
2/ It's not really about bus fares. And we should watch very carefully because it was *exactly* over protests about bus fares in Brazil that the RW capitalized unrest and discontent and rise to power

nytimes.com/2019/10/22/opi…
3/ If you read the @nytimes article above, pay attention to the expression "capitalist oasis". Economic grown in developing countries is not such a piece-of-cake to understand. It's a very bumpy road.

A lot of foreign media coverage of #Chile would make you think this was a spontaneous uprising that came out of nowhere. They have that impression because they've never paid Chile the slightest attention until the past few days.
The story you usually get in the foreign press is that Pinochet left office in 1990 and everything was fine and democratic after that. That story, in short, is a festering pile of old cobbler's bollocks.
For 30 years, Chile has been in what is called a 'transition to democracy', which is another way of saying that the whole social, political, and economic edifice Pinochet imposed on Chileans by blood and iron has remained in place.

Eyes on Chile Protest
#PrayersfortheInnocentVictims🙏

Protestors in Santiago, Chile set fire to main electricity utility building owned by Enel and several other transit buildings in protests against various price hikes
Protests in Santiago, Chile over the rise in public transport tickets.

The unrest exposes divisions in the country, one of Latin America's wealthiest but also one of its most unequal. There have been growing complaints about the cost of living - especially in Santiago, a city of some six million people - and calls for economic reforms
