Así se tortura en Chile (bajo una dictadura hecha por EEUU)/This is how torture is done in Chile (under USA-made dictatorship)

About Plan Cóndor, and also in this case with examples from Chile and its victims (which are more just that, but bc imperialism, we don't have the total numbers, academics say that are many many more, more than the double). This war and its tortures were done (and still do) all over South America and Condor has NEVER stopped. So when gringos and other pieces of shit mock Maduro or ANY other president or person from South America, they are just accepting and promoting this crimes and I hope they die. Some info that is not even the 1% of all the horrors that make any crime made by the nazis in europe pale in comparision:

In South America, dictatorships ideologically inspired by the National Security Doctrine spread throughout the region in the geopolitical context of the Cold War. It began in Paraguay in 1954; Brazil followed in 1964; and subsequently, coups d'état occurred in Bolivia in 1971, Uruguay and Chile in 1973, and finally Argentina in 1976. These dictatorships brutally and systematically repressed all forms of opposition, targeting members of leftist armed groups, political leaders, teachers, students, journalists, union leaders, and political and social activists. Despite some differences, these dictatorships perpetrated thousands of crimes against humanity, such as extrajudicial executions, illegal kidnappings, forced disappearances, torture and inhuman treatment, baby theft, and sexual violence. Since the early 1970s, the political repression that had been developing within each country took on an additional and sinister regional dimension through the so-called Condor Plan. Towards the end of November 1975, representatives of the regimes of Argentina, Bolivia, Chile, Paraguay, and Uruguay, meeting in Santiago, Chile, established the so-called "Condor System," or Plan Condor. According to the Closing Minutes of the First Inter-American National Intelligence Meeting, the name Condor was unanimously approved by a motion presented by the Uruguayan delegation in honor of the host country.

The transnational Condor network allowed dictatorships to specifically target exiles who had fled their home countries and continued to denounce the dictatorial governments in power from abroad. However, in some cases, family members searching for missing loved ones and/or refugees who were no longer politically active also suffered persecution. By 1978, Operation Condor covered eight of the 13 countries (see map) and had effectively established an area of terror and impunity without borders in South America, affecting hundreds of victims. A declassified US FBI document from September 1976 states that ‘the members of Plan Condor who had shown the most enthusiasm to date were Argentina, Uruguay and Chile.’ Condor replicated the same range of human rights violations carried out by these regimes within their borders, but with an additional ingredient: the transnational nature of the crimes. This can be seen in three aspects: The exchange of information between at least two countries (sometimes even more): the country of origin of the victim(s) being sought, and the place where they were located The carrying out of joint operations by international task forces made up of agents from the country where the victim was located and their counterparts from the victim's country of origin (sometimes even from other interested countries) The clandestine transfer of detainees from one country to their country of origin.

Plan Condor took advantage of and surpassed previous informal and ad hoc forms of bilateral cooperation, as well as information exchanges and joint operations that had existed between the armed forces and intelligence services of the region and had been intensifying since the late 1960s. The Condor System had three main elements. 1. A database located in Santiago, where all intelligence information on subversion in the region was centralised. 2. Condortel, the secret, encrypted communications channel that allowed for the exchange of data on prisoners and wanted persons, the tracking of militants' movements across borders, the transmission of orders to operational teams, and the exchange of intelligence information throughout South America. Condortel followed a simple alphabetical order for the five original Condor countries: Condor 1 was Argentina, 2 Bolivia, 3 Chile, 4 Paraguay, 5 Uruguay, while Brazil maintained observer status. 3. Condoreje, the coordination and forward command office that oversaw operational activities. Probably located in a SIDE building in the Recoleta neighbourhood, specifically at Billinghurst 2457, the officers stationed there processed incoming intelligence, including information and requests transmitted via Condortel in the form of search and seizure warrants, and operational teams were dispatched to execute the orders. In addition, in a separate initiative that still reflected the Condor's philosophy of collaboration, the Teseo Unit, composed of Argentine, Uruguayan, and Chilean agents, was established to carry out special operations against targets in Europe, specifically members of the Revolutionary Coordination Board (JCR) in France, but also political figures such as Uruguayans Hugo Cores and Wilson Ferreira, and US Congressman Edward Koch. The assassination of some 20 victims was planned, but all missions were aborted after the CIA presumably alerted the French intelligence services.

Contexto histórico. Proyecto. Plan Cóndor.

According to the Commission's report, 58% of the victims were under 30 years of age at the time of being tortured. Among them were 1,080 minors. In addition, 3,400 women were victims of human rights violations during the dictatorship, and almost all of them confessed to having suffered some form of sexual violence.

-The sequels of torture in the victims of the Chilean dictatorship

"I was raped by the torturers and became pregnant, and I had an abortion in prison. I suffered electric shocks, hanging, pau-arara [hanging with hands and feet tied to a stick between the limbs, including electric shocks], submarinos [dry or liquid suffocation], mock executions, and burns with cigarettes. I was forced to take drugs, I was raped and sexually harassed with dogs, live rats were inserted into my vagina and all over my body. I was forced to have sex with my father and brother who were detained. I was also forced to watch and listen to the torture of my brother and father. They did the telephone [hitting both ears at the same time with open palms], they put me on the grill [tying me to a cot with electric current], they cut my stomach with a yataghan. I was 25 years old. I was detained until 1976. I had no trial. Metropolitan Region, 1974." [...] But it is not only the cruelty that is striking in the report, but also the sheer scale. This is because the Commission received 35,868 testimonies, of which 27,255 cases were classified. The figure is even more brutal when one considers that, according to human rights organisations, only a third of those affected dared to give their testimony. [...] The Commission received 35,868 testimonies, of which 27,255 cases were classified. – Of the total number of classified cases (27,255), 87.5% (23,856) are men and 12.5% (3,399) are women. – Ninety-four per cent of those who testified before the Commission reported torture. – Sixty-seven point four per cent (22,824) were detained between 11 September and 1 December 1973. – Between 1 January 1974 and 31 December 1977, there were 5,266 detainees (19.3%). – Between 1 January 1978 and 11 March 1990, there were 3,625 detainees (13.3%). – 44.2% (12,060) were between 21 and 30 years old at the time of their arrest; 25.4% (6,913) were between 31 and 40 years old, and 12.5% (3,397) were between 41 and 50 years old. Young people between the ages of 18 and 21 at the time accounted for 9.7% (2,639), and those under 18 accounted for 4% (1,080). Those over 50 accounted for 4.3% (1,174). – The majority of victims are currently over 51 years of age. – There were 1,080 cases of minors detained, which corresponds to approximately 4% of the total cases classified by this Commission. – 70.9% (766) of the minors detained were between 16 and 18 years old. 20.9% (226) were between 13 and 15 years old. Children under 13 years of age represent 8.1% (88). – 229 women who testified before the Commission were detained while pregnant. 11 of them said they had been raped. Due to the torture they suffered, 20 had abortions and 15 gave birth to their children in prison.

This is how they tortured in Chile: the shocking testimonies of a macabre script

El martirio de nuestras mujeres/The martyrdom of our women (1976)

The ‘grill’: this was the most common form of torture. It consisted of a metal cot to which the detainee was tied naked in order to apply electric shocks to different parts of the body, especially the most sensitive areas such as the lips or genitals, and even wounds or metal prostheses. A particularly cruel variation of this method involved the use of a two-storey metal bunk bed; as a means of psychological pressure and weakening, the interrogated person was placed on the lower bunk while a family member or friend was tortured on the upper bunk.

Ways of Torture (Villa Grimaldi Peace Park Corporation)

The Chacabuco Prison Camp was used from early November 1973 until April 1975, holding more than 1,000 political prisoners. This camp was for men only. The prison area was surrounded by barbed wire, anti-personnel mines and watchtowers manned by personnel armed with submachine guns. The Chacabuco Prison Camp was one of the largest prison camps not only in the region, but in the entire country. The political prisoners held in this camp came from different military facilities, especially in the First and Second Regions, as well as from Santiago and Valparaíso. The detainees had been tortured not only in the various places where they had previously been held, but also during their journey to Chacabuco. This was especially true for those who were transported by freight train from Iquique, by ship from Valparaíso (the Andalién), and by military truck from Pisagua. [...] According to the testimonies received, the guard duty rotated between Army, Air Force and Police personnel. A military tank patrolled the camp continuously. The testimonies also indicate that aircraft frequently flew low over the camp. The Committee for Peace reported in late 1974: The prisoners lived in adobe corridors containing ten small houses. Each house had two or three floors and held six prisoners. There was a communal dining room, and there was no electricity until July 1974. There are consistent testimonies that, upon entering the camp, prisoners were forced to lie naked for hours on the football field; they were usually greeted with abuse, threats and beatings with feet, fists and blunt objects, such as rifle butts. The detainees lived in adobe corridors consisting of ten small houses resembling pavilions. Each house had two or three floors and held six prisoners. There was a communal dining room and no electricity. [...] According to complaints filed with the Valech Commission, poor living conditions included degrading food and constant harassment. Under any pretext, detainees were taken out at night and left in the open air until dawn in the intense cold of the desert; at other times, during the day, they were forced to remain in the sun. It is important to note that the arbitrariness of the punishment reported by the former prisoners was a source of constant threat and psychological torture. The guards invented reasons to interrogate them, such as alleged plans for escapes or sabotage by the prisoners. Testimonies show that threats of action against the prisoners' families were also a constant practice. Former prisoners experienced additional pressure by being subjected to intense military-style exercise routines and forced labour, particularly work that was useless and meaningless. There are also statements indicating that some prisoners were kept separate from the rest for a period of time, in a prison regime with more severe mistreatment. Others were subjected to continuous interrogations, including torture. Testimonies indicate that many prisoners were beaten with feet, fists and blunt objects, such as rifle butts, and subjected to mock executions. Some of the former political prisoners reported being taken from this facility to Antofagasta to be interrogated, amid torture and beatings, by the military prosecutor in the area. Others were interrogated amid beatings at the camp by plainclothes officers and agents of the Military Intelligence Service (SIM).

Así quien no trabaja/So with those who do not work (1977)

The burlap shows three people behind bars who are being whipped with an electric whip. On the back, there is a manuscript with the following inscription: “Chile 77, A.R.C.,” which can be attributed to its creator.

The Burned Ones

Black burlap background made with scraps of fabric and coloured wool illustrating moments from the national strike of 2 July 1986 in Chile, when two young people, Carmen Gloria Quintana (20) and Rodrigo Rojas de Negri (19), are on fire after being set alight by uniformed officers and Pinochetist civilians. The scene takes place in the middle of the street in the context of protests against Pinochet's civil-military dictatorship installed by the United States. Several people representing the protesters in the street and some armed soldiers can be seen. In the lower right-hand corner of the burlap, we see the following scene in a forest, where Carmen and Rodrigo were thrown and abandoned by the military in a wasteland in the commune of Quilicura, on the outskirts of the city.

Asesinatos/Killings

A burlap with a black background made from scraps of fabric and colored wool depicts a group of people with signs of torture on their bodies being thrown into the river from a helicopter during Pinochet's US-led dictatorship in Chile. Below, armed Pinochet soldiers surround the houses. At the bottom of the burlap, embroidered in white, the text "PIDEE LINARES" (which could be the initials of the person who made it and the place it depicts, in this case Linares), followed by the years during which this occurred, 1973–1986, and then, in parentheses and also in capital letters, the description of what is depicted, which is the title of the work: KILLINGS.

The practice of throwing tortured people, alive or dead (and even their remains), from helicopters into rivers or the sea was common and systematic, part of the extermination process carried out by the dictatorship in Chile, as well as in other Latin American countries (such as Uruguay, Argentina, and Mexico) that suffered coups at the hands of the far right in the context of Plan Condor. This method of disappearance, torture, and genocide is known in Latin America as Death Flights.

A few days after the coup d'état of September 11, 1973, that overthrew the democratic government of socialist president Salvador Allende (1970-1973), a military delegation led by General Sergio Arellano toured several Chilean cities by helicopter to execute detained Allende supporters and opponents of the dictatorship. One of the subsequent judicial investigations into these actions is the Caravan of Death. This operation, which was carried out between September and October 1973, ended with the murder or forced disappearance of 93 political prisoners. For these cases, the Chilean justice system belatedly prosecuted 48 military personnel, including Pinochet and Arellano, who were acquitted, and 27 retired soldiers were sentenced to luxury prisons. To this day, there is no real justice, and the crimes of the death caravan, other death flights, and many other crimes remain unpunished.

One of Chile's presidential candidates (which 3 are pinochetists collaborators and have ties to UK/germany/USA imperialism and the others are just as horrible except the communist women candidate) is a descendant of Nazis, and he and his family supported the dictatorship, as well as being part of its institutions since adolescence and collaborating with the rendition, torture, and disappearance of people. On one of his trips spreading his ideology and strengthening ties with the far right around the world (such as helping Milei and Bolsonaro win the presidency), he was photographed with a young far-right man wearing a T-shirt mocking and celebrating these crimes.

All this shit and criminals are because western imperialism and US specially in the last 1000 years.

So:

For the past two days, the storm has pushed families in Gaza into conditions that are impossible to imagine.

Our tents have flooded, our bedding is soaked, and the cold rain hasn’t stopped for a moment. Many families no longer have a place to stay… and mine is one of them.

I’m a child, and all I know right now is that we spend long hours under the rain, just trying to find a dry spot to rest. I see the exhaustion in my family’s eyes, and I feel helpless, because we have nothing to do but wait for the storm to end… or for someone to reach out and help us.

My family is fighting hard to keep going, and any support could mean so much to us in these painful moments.

Please share this and donate to my family, it would mean more than you can imagine.

The lack of donations and support will force us to make the painful decision to reduce our meals and food. After the war, we were left with nothing — no shelter, no support, no donations. During the war, we were receiving better donations and support; now, what has changed? The situation is worse than before. The world believes that we are fine now and that we have returned to our homes, our jobs, and our lives as they were before October 7, 2023. But we are still living in the streets. •We are still without homes. 💔 •We are still without work. 💔 •We are still unable to provide food for ourselves and our children. •We are 10 people who eat, drink, and buy medicine only from what this fundraiser provides. •My sick grandmother —who will provide her daily medicine today? •My child — who will provide diapers, baby milk, and nutritional supplements for him? •I do not buy iron supplements or vitamins for myself so that I can provide milk and diapers for my child. We are living a life that even animals in this world would not be forced to endure. 😢💔💔😢 Please, be our support as you have been for 15 months. Do not leave us alone to fight life by ourselves — you are our hope. Any donation, no matter how small, can help us provide something. Hilda <3

I implore you from the bottom of my heart… 🙏 Help Abdul Rahman and his family, even with a small donation, or even just by sharing this post. Every contribution, no matter how small, makes a real difference and saves the life of someone in need of compassion.

I swear, I don't know what to do or who to turn to anymore.My mother is sick and urgently needs medication, and I don't have the money to complete her treatment.We need just 700 euros to save her life before her condition worsens.On top of that… we're living in a tattered tent, ripped apart by the rain and wind.

he needs this for his family but specially for his mother, she's battling cancer and it always comes with many needs to get through, she can, if we help them, please help now.

Unfortunately Chris still needs help though.

He lives in a condemned hoarder house, too sick to work, struggling with severe depression (and probably other things) with no living family, friends or anyone besides me. He needs medical care, regular food, urgent repairs on the house, and to pay debts that eat his social security the day he gets it

So I'm fundraising for Chris especially but this benefits all of us because it allows me to focus on what I need to do - getting accredited to work - and support my son and daughter. Otherwise I'm deciding who's gonna go without which is yk really really painful. I'm already supporting multiple people, I can't take on his enormous needs on my own as much as I wish I could

I need to make a new pool but the above go to the same place anyway

It's a big goal because he has to pay the debit on the account before he can use any of the donations and then he has to pay the weekly arrears on the rates before he can do anything else

Lo que va a pasar es que Milei va a tratar de pegarse con él, como idoliza a todo esperpento de derecha que exista, y Kast que se nota mucho más vivo que Milei va a hacer de político sonriente, coherente y neutral mientras avanza su proyecto de derecha.

hi everyone im making a post for my friend/collaborator/sister @prrkxentrrkrr3 who as an immigrant is not covered by national health insurance yet who still needs a major surgery for a health condition that leaves her in constant pain.

the short version is she needs all her teeth removed and replaced with all-in-4's, and while she's put a few thousand dollars away for this, her campaign has been stalling for months and she's not even making enough to live off of and she needs to dig into that savings for rent and stuff.

i would like to raise $1200 for her by christmas which i know is a long shot but you miss every goal you don't shoot
