Chilean Court Rules U.S. Had Role in Murders October 3, 2014 Page 5 Americas Chilean Court Rules U.S. Had Role in Murders By PASCALE BONNEFOY JUNE 30, 2014 SANTIAGO, Chile — The United States military intelligence services played a pivotal role in setting up the murders of two American citizens in 1973, providing the Chilean military with the information that led to their deaths, a court here has ruled. The recent court decision found that an American naval officer, Ray E. Davis, alerted Chilean officials to the activities of two Americans, Charles Horman, 31, a filmmaker, and Frank Teruggi, 24, a student and an antiwar activist, which led to their arrests and executions. The murders were part of an American-supported coup that ousted the leftist government of President Salvador Allende. The killing of the two men was portrayed in the 1982 film “Missing.” The ruling by the judge, Jorge Zepeda, now establishes the involvement of American intelligence officials in providing information to their Chilean counterparts. He also charged a retired Chilean colonel, Pedro Espinoza, with the murders, and a civilian counterintelligence agent, Rafael González, as an accomplice in Mr. Horman’s murder. October 3, 2014 Page 6 The two men, along with Mr. Davis, were indicted in 2011. Mr. Davis, who died in 2013, was commander of the United States Military Group in Chile. “The judge’s decision makes clear,” said Janis Teruggi Page, Mr. Teruggi’s sister, “that U.S. intelligence personnel who aided and abetted the Chilean military after the coup remain a co-conspirator in this horrible crime.” The latest ruling concludes that Mr. Davis provided his Chilean liaison, Raúl Monsalve, a naval intelligence officer, with information on both Mr. Horman and Mr. Teruggi based on F.B.I. and other United States intelligence, compiled for an investigation into suspicions that the men were engaged in subversive activities. Mr. Monsalve, now dead, passed on this information to the Intelligence Department of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, which ordered the men’s arrests. The decision said the murders were part of “a secret United States information-gathering operation carried out by the U.S. Milgroup in Chile on the political activities of American citizens in the United States and in Chile.” Sergio Corvalán, a lawyer for the families of the two slain men, said the ruling confirmed what the families had long believed. “The Chilean military would not have acted against them on their own,” Mr. Corvalán said. “They didn’t have any particular interest in Horman or Teruggi, or evidence of any compromising political activity that would make them targets of Chilean intelligence agencies.” October 3, 2014 Page 7 A version of this article appears in print on July 1, 2014, on page A6 of the New York edition with the headline: Chilean Court Rules U.S. Had Role in Murders October 3, 2014 Page 8 The Guardian Chile Chilean court links US intelligence to 1973 killings of two Americans Former US navy captain gave information to Chilean officials that led to executions of journalist and student, judge finds The Guardian, Tuesday 1 July 2014 12.06 EDT Jump to comments (51) Joyce Horman, the widow of Charles Horman, in 2000. Photograph: Santiago Llanquin/AP A Chilean court has said US military intelligence services played a key role in the killings of two Americans in Chile in 1973 in a case that inspired the Oscar-winning film Missing. A court ruling released late on Monday said a former US navy captain, Ray Davis, gave information to Chilean officials about journalist Charles Horman and student Frank Teruggi that led to their arrest and execution days after the coup that brought General Augusto Pinochet to power. "The military intelligence services of the United States had a fundamental role in the creation of the murders of the two American citizens in 1973, providing Chilean military officers with the information that led to their deaths," the ruling said. The judge Jorge Zepeda upheld a decision to charge Pedro Espinoza, a retired Chilean army colonel, with the murders, and Rafael Gonzalez, a former civilian counter-intelligence agent, as an accomplice in Horman's murder. The two Chileans and Davis were October 3, 2014 Page 9 indicted in 2011. Davis commanded the US military mission in Chile at the time of the American-backed coup that ousted the democratically elected government of the leftist president Salvador Allende. Davis was investigating Americans in Chile as part of a series of covert intelligence operations run from the US embassy targeting those considered to be subversives or radicals, according to the judge's investigation. Officials at the embassy in Santiago had no immediate comment. Believing Davis to be living in Florida, Chile's supreme court approved an extradition request after he was indicted in November 2011. But Davis was secretly living in Chile, and he died in a Santiago nursing home last year. Horman, 31, a freelance journalist and film-maker, was arrested on 17 September 1973. A national truth commission formed after the Pinochet dictatorship ended said Horman was executed the next day while in the custody of Chilean state security agents. The commission said Teruggi, a 24-year-old university student, was executed on 22 September. The search for Horman by his wife and father was the topic of the 1982 movie Missing, starring Sissy Spacek and Jack Lemmon. The film won an Oscar for best adapted screenplay and was nominated for best picture, actor and actress. The film suggested US complicity in Horman's death, and at the time drew strong objections from US state department officials. The case remained practically ignored in Chile until 2000 when Horman's widow, Joyce, filed a lawsuit against Pinochet. She said after the judge's ruling was released: "More than 40 years after my husband was killed, and almost 14 years since I initiated judicial proceedings in Chile, I am delighted that the cases of Charles Horman and Frank Teruggi are moving forward in the Chilean courts. At the same time, I remain outraged that, through death and delay, a key indicted US official, Captain Ray Davis, has escaped this prosecutorial process. October 3, 2014 Page 10 "Judge Zepeda's ruling both implicates and incriminates US intelligence personnel as playing a dark role in the murder of my husband. My hope is that the record of evidence compiled by the court sheds further light on how and why Charles was targeted, who actually ordered his murder, and what kind of information on one of its own citizens the US government passed to the Chilean military who committed this heinous crime." Chile's government estimates that 3,095 people were killed during Pinochet's dictatorship, including about 1,200 who.

En un virtual ultimátum y "bajo apercibimiento de dar cuenta a la Excelentísima Corte Suprema" de Estados Unidos, el ministro de fuero Juan Guzmán Tapia le fijó al ex Secretario de Estado norteamericano Henry Kissinger, un plazo de 40 días para que finalmente responda el exhorto que le envió en julio de 2001 con las 17 preguntas acerca de su conocimiento en ese cargo en septiembre de 1973, sobre la ejecución en Chile del periodista estadounidense Charles Horman Lazar. El ministro Guzmán solicitó ayer en un escrito al presidente de la Corte Suprema de Chile, Mario Garrido, para que éste de curso por la vía diplomática al oficio Número 554-2002, por el cual advirtió a Kissinger del plazo fijado y de las consecuencias que deberá asumir si insiste en no responder el exhorto con las 17 preguntas que le fueron formuladas el 12 de julio de 2001.

Augusto Pinochet (1973-1990) Paul Schaefer received a 20-year jail sentence in a Chilean court on May 24. The former leader of the compound known as Colonia Dignidad was convicted on charges that he committed abuses against 25 minors in the enclave between 1993 and 1997, and he faces further charges for participating in crimes committed by the secret police. The judge in Schaefer's case, Talca Appeals Court Judge Hernan Gonzalez, ordered the maximum penalty for 20 charges of "dishonest abuse" of minors and five counts of "sodomy rape" of children, resulting in the 20-year sentence and an order for an indemnification of 770 million pesos (US $1.4 million) to be paid to the victims. Gonzalez considered the crimes attributed to Schaefer to be proven, and he ruled favorably on the applications for indemnification from lawyers for 11 of the victims, who were ages 7 to 17 at the time of Schaefer's abuses.

Santiago, Lom Ediciones, 2008, 2 volúmenes, 902 págs. ISBN 978-956-282-969-4 El colega e historiador chileno radicado en Bélgica, Doctor en Historia por la Universidad Libre de Bruselas y académico del Institut des Hautes Études des Communications Sociales (Bruselas), Jorge Magasich Airola, me ha obsequiado su último trabajo intitulado Los que dijeron No. Historia del movimiento de los marinos antigolpistas de 1973. Motivado por la conversación con Jorge Magasich y por la lectura misma del libro, osaré reseñar el trabajo antes citado. A manera de presentación, ¿qué podemos decir y comentar? Desde el punto de vista formal y estructura del trabajo (más allá de la introducción y conclusiones) en sus más de 800 páginas distribuidas en VII capítulos y en dos volúmenes hay un profuso e interesan- tísimo trabajo de fuentes y bibliografía, entre las cuales podemos mencionar la revisión de los procesos judiciales, prensa de la época, memorias, y entrevistas (historia oral) a los protagonistas directos (uniformados y civiles) de los hechos. Pero además de aquello, el trabajo de Magasich Airola nos introduce en la historia más reciente de nuestro país y espe- cíficamente en uno de los episodios olvidados y tergiversados de nuestra historia reciente, como es el caso del movimiento de los marinos antigolpistas de 1973. En ese contexto, durante muchos años, gran parte de la población y en forma especial las nuevas generaciones se fueron formando bajo el alero de lo que algunos denominaron “la historia y memoria oficial de Chile de los últimos años”, donde estos dos componentes, memoria e historia, convergían en un solo pensamiento, el de carácter oficial e institucional.

  • Operation Condor and the United States: Torture, Death Squads and Echoes in the New Millennium
    Operation Condor and the United States: Torture, Death Squads and Echoes in the New Millennium By Edward B. Winslow Region: Latin America & Caribbean, USA Global Research, March 25, 2019 Theme: History, Intelligence On December 2, 1823 in the wake of rebellions in Latin America that had ended Spanish rule in the Western Hemisphere, US President James Monroe announced that European colonial powers that attempted to assert influence in the region would be an overt threat to the national security of the US. Monroe claimed that European monarchies and colonialism were incompatible with the notions of democracy and republicanism that were featured in the New World. Monroe’s proclamation set the stage for US foreign policies for nearly 200 years: US hegemony over Latin America was a natural extension of the messianic visions of Manifest Destiny and US exceptionalism. Beginning in the twentieth century US President Theodore Roosevelt, desiring to flex the muscles of the nation’s burgeoning policies of imperialism, added the Roosevelt Corollary to the Monroe Doctrine (1905) that stated the US would use its might to ensure the countries in the Western Hemisphere would remain “stable, orderly and prosperous.” The US began policies of intervention in Latin America that became routine for three decades into the twentieth century. After a hiatus during President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s “Good Neighbor Policy,” the Organization of American States was formed in 1948 to protect the Western Hemisphere from dangerous, i.e. communist, elements abroad. As Cold War fears against the “red menace” escalated into the 1950s, US President Harry S. Truman approved a National Security Agency (NSA) memorandum that asserted in typical breathless tones of the era “the Cold War was in fact a real war in which the survival of the free world is at stake.” Meanwhile, as Latin America became an increasingly important trading partner, the US poured $6 billion into the region by the late 1950s.

His most notable achievement has been his award- winning study, The Invaded: How Latin Americans and their Allies Fought and Ended U.S. Occupations (2014).[1] McPherson, who is fluent in Spanish and French, conducted multi-archival research in the Dominican Republic, Nicaragua, France, the United Kingdom, and the United States and read a variety of Latin American newspapers, including those from Haiti. His forthcoming book is Ghosts of Sheridan Circle: How a Washington Assassination Brought Pinochet’s Terror State to Justice, which will be published by the University of North Carolina Press. The article under review here explores themes that are fully developed in the book. As in McPherson’s previous articles and books, this article demonstrates the author’s command of the published scholarly literature and his willingness to conduct multi-archival research.

  • KISSINGER, OPERACIÓN CÓNDOR, PINOCHET by George Venturini *
    THE FIRST 9/11 – KISSINGER, OPERACIÓN CÓNDOR, PINOCHET by George Venturini * The first 9/11 occurred in 1973 in Santiago, Chile and places nearby. President Richard Milhous Nixon and Dr. Henry Alfred Kissinger were the instigators, General Augusto Pinochet simply the executioner. The United States has been interfering with Chile since the arrival of Joel Roberts Poinsett as ‘special agent’ in 1811. The story of the first 9/11 began, most likely, on 15 September 1970 when Nixon and his consiglieri: Richard Helms, Director of the Central Intelligence Agency and Kissinger, National Security Adviser were discussing a possible C.I.A. covert operation in Chile. Media sources confirmed that Nixon had been nearly beside himself with rage at the thought that ‘Marxist’ Salvador Allende might win the 1970 presidential election in Chile. The very name of Allende was anathema to Nixon. He had been personally beholden to the president of Pepsi Cola from the moment he had received that corporation’s account while a young lawyer with John Mitchell’s firm in New York. In time Mitchell would share with Nixon the fate of Watergate and other crimes. But, after the ‘Watergate’ affaires, only Mitchell ended up in gaol for conspiracy, obstruction of justice, and perjury. Pepsi Cola, along with Chase Manhattan Bank, International Telephone & Telegraph and many other corporations, but above all Anaconda Copper Mining Co. and Kennecott Copper Co., had huge investments in Chile. It is estimated that in the early seventies those two major mining corporations alone controlled between seven and twenty per cent of Chile’s Gross Domestic Product.
