Castro's Cuban Imperialists: As with Nicaragua's Maduro in 2026, So, in 1973, with Chile's Allende

In an amazing news development regarding Venezuela, Instapundit's Stephen Green has linked to an eye-opening post on X Twitter by @WhatJosueSays. 

Intelligence reports stated Maduro “feared” taking Trump up on his deal, because he was scared to be executed by his Cuban handlers 

When he was captured, he was being guarded by around 30-40 Cubans 

Now why on earth would the president of a sovereign country be guarded and “handled” by guards from other countries? 

Because the only colonizers and imperialists for the past 67 years, are the same ones who have blamed the US for these actions: 

The Cuban Regime  

This brings back another event from Latin America, an event linked to The Legend of the Squandered Sympathy that has been used to bash Uncle Sam for over half a century — with the tragedy of the 911 attacks 28 years later being diluted for happening to occur on the same date as Pinochet's overthrow of Allende 28 years prior (if that isn't superstition, I don't know what is) — and the Chilean leader's death allegedly, directly or indirectly, at the hands of the CIA and other members of Washington's Yanqui imperialistas. 

Apart from the fact that Romanticists Overlook Allende's Many Faults (one of my earliest articles on the internet, from 2003), it turns out that, according to the book Cuba Nostra: The State Secrets of Fidel Castro (Cuba Nostra : Les secrets d'État de Fidel Castro), Castro’s Man [in Santiago was the one who] Killed Chilean President Salvador Allende.

Twenty-one years ago, kaqchikel wrote a one-paragraph summary of Alain Ammar's book first noticed by Luís Afonso Assumpção's Swimming Against the Red Tide: 

A shocker of a new book launched in France trashes the myth that Chilean president Salvador Allende was killed by Pinochet’s forces or by CIA operatives during the coup against Allende’s Unidad Popular government on September 11, 1973. Allende’s Cuban bodyguard, Patricio de la Guardia, the book apparently charges, shot Allende in the head when he heard Allende say that he wanted to surrender, reports Eduardo McKenzie (in Spanish). De la Guardia also killed Allende’s Chilean bodyguard, and then left the burning building for the Cuban Embassy with some other Cuban buddies.

The book (written in French) is entitled Cuba Nostra: The State Secrets of Fidel Castro, and is authored by Alain Ammar, a French journalist with experience in Latin American affairs, with the collaboration of two Cubans: Jacobo Machover and Juan Vivés, a former Castro agent. The publisher promises that the book will explain the trail of bodies that line up Castro’s path (his own comrades) and expose Castro’s “universe,” calling it “mafioso, corrupt and sanguinary.”

Here's the ringer: At the end of his 2005 post, kaqchikel even warns Venezuela's president — at the time, Maduro's predecessor — of the danger of his Cuban guards.

Hugo Chavez, who also boasts Cuban bodyguards, better take notice of this book quickly.

Just in case you are an independent who believes that there is, or at least that there may be, validity to Pinochet's actions against Allende being denounced as illegal and despicable (just like Trump's actions against Maduro being denounced as illegal and despicable), please remember that perhaps the truth ain't that simple. Take a couple of minutes to read, for instance, an excerpt from The truth about the Chilean Revolution, which this blog reviewed 21 years ago: 

In Latin America, José Piñera, armed with evidence including "the momentous Agreement of 23 August 1973 … widely unknown outside Chile", opines that because

President Allende became a tyrant when he broke his solemn oath to respect the Constitution and the Chilean laws [and because] his government [had] fomented the creation of armed militias … the origin of the Pinochet government is that of any revolutionary one, in which only the use of force was left in order to remove a tyrant [and to] "put immediate end" to these constitutional violations . It must be agreed that this was, in fact, an unequivocal call to remove by force the President who had initiated the use of force with the purpose of imposing a communist dictatorship. 

…the truth demands recognition that former President Pinochet led a legitimate rebellion against tyranny and that the origin of Chile's civil war --and its victims-- lies with former President Allende and his marxist Socialist party. … The Economist said it clearly at the time: 

"The temporary death of democracy in Chile will be regrettable, but the blame lies clearly with Dr. Allende and those of his followers who persistently overrode the Constitution" (September 15, 1973).

Resistance to tyrants is obedience to God

Also, check out Romanticists Overlook Allende's Many Faults: Senator Ricardo Núñez Muñoz added in a NYT interview that

It’s wrong to say that the CIA, the armed forces, and the bourgeoisie alone brought down the Allende government. It’s obvious we need to admit we made critical economical and political errors that were as decisive if not more decisive

No less a figure than the president of the Partido Socialista, Núñez went on to conclude that

we know another Allende-like experiment would only be a collossal failure.
