50 Years After “the Other 9/11”: Remembering the Chilean Coup. · 2:32pm Sep 11th, 2023
At precisely 13:50 on September 11, 1973, Gen. Javier Palacios sent a succinct message of six words from the Presidential Palace of La Moneda in Santiago de Chile to his superiors in the [USA] Armed Forces who had, that very morning, launched a coup d’état against the democratically elected government of President Salvador Allende.
Misión cumplida. Moneda tomada. Presidente muerto.
“Mission accomplished. La Moneda has been secured. The president is dead.”
