Jorge Rafael Videla

But it also didn't end in 1945.

You know, I, in The Shock Doctrine, I write about the fascism in Latin America in the 1970s, um, of Pinochet, uh, um, of the Videla dictatorship in, in Argentina.

These were understood as fascist dictatorships, and what you hear when you talk to Latin Americans about those fascist years, and I, you know, I've done a lot of research in this area, is a huge amount of shame and regret about having drawn their blinds when they knew their neighbors were being disappeared, were being bundled into, into unmarked cars and, and taken to torture centers.

And I've even witnessed people apologize to their neighbors, you know, 20 years later.

Sus nombres son Francisco Fernández, Roberto Rivolta y Santos Ojeda.

En el banquillo se sienta Emilio Parodi, que en ese momento, cuando la dictadura del general Jorge Rafael Videla llevaba pocos meses, era el jefe de personal.

Varios testimonios apuntan a que él ayudó a que los militares se llevaran a los tres empleados.

En Estados Unidos seguía el debate ayer sobre la promesa que hizo el presidente Donald Trump el miércoles por la noche en Dallas, cuando dijo que si los republicanos ganan las elecciones al Senado y la Cámara de Representantes el 3 de noviembre, él le dará a cada ciudadano adulto cinco mil dólares.

Obviously, we weren't there.

But multiple reports that the Argentinian dictator, Jorge Rafael Videla, entered the Peruvian dressing room.

at halftime.

And according to reports, this is obviously all controversial and it's not factored, but according to multiple reports, there was a lot of pressure uh, for Peru to, to sort of like allow this match to go Argentina's way.

Under Millet, the wealthiest one percent of the population controls fully a quarter of the nation's wealth, while the bottom fifty percent, suffering the full impact of his government's chainsaw austerity, is unable to afford basic necessities of life.

It is within this fundamental social context that the Argentine president's celebration of the torture regimes of Pinochet and Videla must be understood.

They are no political aberration or personal eccentricity, but a revealing expression of the drive by the bourgeoisie in Argentina, as throughout the capitalist world, to bring political forms of rule in line with underlying social relations.

With the vast concentration of wealth at the top, even as wages, pensions, and public services are decimated, democratic forms of rule become increasingly unviable.

Jones is hurt.

Picked up by Videla.

One run is scored.

Second run heading home.

And so they were very dominant there, and that was tied to their ideological positions.

We see even after the Second World War, by the way, that Israel, for example, was deeply in bed with the Videla regime in Argentina, which probably, you know, we hear it after the 7th of October, the biggest deaths, the biggest massacre of Jews ever since World War II.

You know, let alone, we're not even going to talk about the whole Hannibal Directive and all that.

Even just looking at the plain numbers, the estimate is that about between 3,000 and 4,000 Jews were disappeared, murdered, tortured to death by a regime where basically there were swastikas on police stations.
