John Pilger challenging former CIA Latin America Station Chief Duane Clarridge on the CIA-backed Pinochet coup against Salvador Allende (born on this day in 1908):

Pilger: Salvador Allende was democratically elected. Is that okay to overthrow a democratically elected government?

Clarridge: ‘It depends what your national security interests are.’

Pilger: ‘Are you denying the huge suffering Pinochet caused in that country?’

Clarridge: ‘Huge? I don’t buy it. He committed crimes, I agree.’

Pilger: ‘Those crimes are worth it?’

Clarridge: ‘Yeah.’

Pilger: ‘What right do you have to do what you do in other countries’

Clarridge: ‘National security interests.’

Pilger: ‘The people you do it to have no say.’

Clarridge: ‘Well that’s just tough…and if you don’t like it, lump it.’

Remember this exchange whenever you hear the US government talking about defending democracy in Latin America, or anywhere around the world.

🚨 Massive scandal brewing: Lord Mandelson facilitated a meeting between the PM and the CEO of Palantir. Shortly after, the government signed a 250 million pound defense deal with Palantir, a client of Mandelson's lobbying firm. Absolute corruption.

US invites Botswana's President (Boko) to the White House, Botswana's president declined.

By the way Botswana recently discovered fifteen rare earth minerals.
