"National Security Archive: Chile’s Coup at 50: Kissinger Briefed Nixon on Failed 1970 CIA Plot to Block Allende Presidency"

Dette er dokumentasjon om drapsforsøket på Chiles militære sjef i 1970, da Allende ble valgt og skulle settes inn som president. Og om hvordan Henry Kissinger informerte president Nixon om dette, i 1970:

"As the commander in chief of the Chilean army, Gen. René Schneider, lay dying in a hospital after being shot in a CIA-backed coup plot in October 1970, President Nixon placed a phone call to his national security advisor, Henry Kissinger, to ask, “What is happening in Chile?” according to a transcript of their conversation posted today by the National Security Archive. Kissinger told the President that the CIA-backed plot to block Socialist president-elect Salvador Allende from being inaugurated—an operation ordered by Nixon five weeks earlier—had not succeeded. The Chilean military turned out to be “a pretty incompetent bunch,” according to Kissinger, having failed to seize power after the removal of Gen. Schneider, Chile’s top pro-constitution officer.

“There’s been a turn for the worse,” Kissinger explained, referring to the Schneider assassination, “but it hasn’t triggered anything else. The next move should have been a government takeover, but that hasn’t happened.”

Mao, Kissinger informerte Nixon:
- Det mislykkede kuppet i Chile i 1970
- At det neste trekket måtte være det som skjedde 11. september 1973: "a governement takeover", det som resulterte i drapet på president Allende.
