Nixon’s Covert Goals in Chile
- Main Idea: Nixon wanted to influence events in Chile. He wasn’t Team Allende!
- Dollar Power! The CIA had a budget of $8 million to use in Chile (1970-1973). They spent $3 million in 1972. (Imagine what you could buy with that!)
- Secrets Exposed: The Church Committee Report in 1975 spilled the tea, saying the US was sneaky in Chile between 1963 and 1975.
The US Diplomatic Duality
- US Diplomatic Strategy: Be cool on the outside, but plot secretly.
- They played it "correct but cool" with Allende.
- But the US tried to pressure Allende's government in the shadows.
- Example: It’s like acting friendly to someone in school but secretly planning to take their spot as the class president!
Political Shenanigans
- CIA’s Secret Activities
- Fund opposition parties.
- Cozy up with Chile’s armed forces.
- Support media against Allende (e.g., El Mercurio newspaper got a slice of the CIA money pie).
- Help organize strikes to weaken Allende.
- Economic Pressure
- Nixon's approach: No more economic agreements with Chile!
- Tried to cut foreign aid to hurt Chile’s economy.
- Nixon got international buddies and companies to join this 'economic squeeze' mission.
- But Not All Bad: Nixon allowed humanitarian aid and cleared $200 million Chilean debt to the US. Plus, Allende found new money sources, around $900 million, and a $100 million loan from IMF.
