al-jazeera after the listening post by former. weld leaders from un member states to preparing to take their seats for this year's general assembly rouhani and president trump will attend. growing tensions between the u.s. and iran the east will multilateral efforts provide solutions to a global refugee crisis escalating wars and climate change before it's too late join us for extensive coverage of the un general assembly on al-jazeera. this documents is an official cia memorandum dated september 19th 17 and is a note curiously titled discussion of the chilean political situation but its contents what it exposes is pretty incriminating. on the 14th of september mr holmes met with edwards of the independent newspaper. mr edwards

expressed the following view on the chilean political situation. until 2017 nearly all of this paragraph was brought out redacted meaning that for more than 40 years i was the edwards the owner of the most influential newspaper in chile and made put your kid to a story that yes he did meet with the director of the cia richard helms here in washington d.c. and ok he did talk about some other day in this election but no there was never talk of constructing not true. years later these now did cross the fight cia white house documents prove that's exactly what he did and that the cia financed his newspaper funding both and made korea's negative coverage of the a in the government and the positive coverage of the dictatorship that followed i must set up the sorrow i was born in chile and i'm going to tell you about why maybe 50

years on we still need to talk about the mic or deal. chileans will tell you can't really understand the history of this country without understanding the history of women and the farming. if you need a modern equivalent think of the murdoch media empire only its much older dates but in the 19th century when the edwards family amassed a fortune bunking mining agriculture. the family used economic power to shape key moments in china's political history to give you an idea back in the 19th century the end was played a major role both into the civil war and the pacific war with bolivia and peru to protect their business interests yet it was one the only family in chile

a handful of families owned the country can still do was set them up pots with their newspapers. for me. the thing about edwards family line is that they understood the way in which the link between politics and economics operates like a sort of. that hint is the media yes and we say going to follow me over. this. is much more than a newspaper it's a political institution that brings together an ideological and economic group one that campaigns and influences public opinion in ways from a point of view that defends its interests given. what american real has always been the most important paper in the country very conservative in its editorial perspective and closely linked to the country's

political and business elites and it's had significant politico. impact throughout chile's recent history including wars economic affairs and coups the american army corps. the most solemn of orders and of the sun it's not just al mercurio there are 3 means papers and santiago and regional change that followed a similar trend to that of many newspapers and that in america powerful influential business minded families who set up a powerful media outlet in order to achieve the next level in a flat up that had all the really for us and. by the 1960s the next level of influence the edwards family were looking for was no longer to be found in chile so they looked north to the united states to its government and to a central intelligence agency the cia. political winds were shifting socialist movements were gathering momentum across the continent and in chile presidential

candidates some other agendas and left wing ideals pledges agrarian reform nationalization world redistribution capturing the popular imagination felt they stood to lose the edwards family certainly but also the u.s. government as the documents showed we now know that as early as $960.00 fool the cia was injecting money into quote anti communist propaganda. and it's other people's emotional d.c.s. and i still wonder who would have support for a year in there to rein it in. the united states and the cia started bankrolling a campaign that was essentially against any leftist movements in chile in the 1960 s. this us aid helped with their campaign to undermine support for the left wing groups led by salvador and in terms of their growing presence on the political stage both

at the poles and in social terminals and. there is news coverage and opinion pieces and maybe. some other day in this candidacy. but in september of 1971 the election. he became the world's 1st democratically elected marxist president. has left wing supporters took to the streets to celebrate ousting edwards jumped on a plane flew to washington and sat down with 2 americans who would shape the future of chile u.s. secretary of state henry kissinger and director of the cia richard helms. what was proposed about meeting has been consistently denied for years because these documents declassified decades later reveal chinese media mogul was asking the cia for support in

a military coup. and that support came in the form of money the money that was passed to over korea to sustain. abuses of truth the propaganda of fomenting violence and the creation of a cool climate the money came from the cia. as the director of the national security archives cheney documentation project in washington d.c. peter kornbluh has made it his mission to get to the truth on chile using the freedom of information act it's been a trip budget process that in $27.00 teams paid off. so you have a document in which kissinger actually calls over to the cia and says the president has just approved the proposal for supporting mccurry at the amount of $700000.00 the president wished to see the paper kept

going and the amounts to. late it could be exceeded if that would be useful he served that purpose i can't think of another time when i have seen micromanagement by the president of united states of covert propaganda operations in another country and here is the living proof of nixon's personal involvement in making sure that the cia kept elma korea go. classified documents all kinds here in washington d.c. show that president nixon himself directly authorized funding for a medical deal to the tune of 2000000 dollars a serious amount of money in the 1970 s. enough to keep a paper that was in financial difficulties alive and more importantly shape public opinion the cia essentially passed money physically to

members of the edwards group. bags full of money and the cia bag man if you will in the cia station santiago was named jack divine. and he was. a young man with a big afro if you look at him you would have thought he was a foreign exchange student during the age of hippies but in fact he was an undercover cia officer in one of his 1st postings. as an agent and he was responsible for carrying this money for meeting with periodically with the helmet for real people with the divine thanks for talking to us here in the think it's a pleasure you touched down in chile in the 1970 s. during the age in the government you put in charge of an important brief in medical your project a key part of the cia operation in chile at the time can you tell us about your specific role in this post is an extraordinary assignment was my 1st assignment

a lot of our my job was actually to help keep the funding. recording because the i ended government. whose 3 was a putting the screws on almost quarter and my 1st major test that i can recall was trying to find funding so that public order could tend to continue to obtain the paper deeded to actually print the newspapers so this is on the record as cables written by me asking for a fairly large several several $100000.00 to support the the maintenance of running the paper el mccord it was sort of the whole market you wanted to preserve it. with high integrity as a journalistic back with us so you were on the ground in chile you were reading a medical and you were seeing what was happening what do you make of criticisms then that during the 3 years of president and administration and this what do you.

used propaganda to deliberately mislead readers let me put it in the context of the time i think blocking. the i.n.d. government at the time it is. participation in the government in the context of the cold war. was an important thing to do the we know from other reporting that the russians really looked at chile as an experimental case where you could use the voting box to bring communist to power and history there was a sentiment among those of us watching that the i.n.d. government was in the process of falling of its own weight is policies were so wrong footed the risk they were the architect of the economic problems that they were confronting that albacore you would be critical of those is is not surprising i you know understating the power of the media. not just to

report on stories but to produce them creating stories and this is where the bottom line is and nobody of course once they hear this on the left i n.d. created most of the stories i mean economic policies are very hard to justify today and. at the end of the day when i stand back what brought down the government brother mccourty was soft or hard it was a bad leaf walled government economically. that's the story of journalists and it is they are asleep. at the time of this debate is that thank you very much for joining us here in the past he was working for him a good deal and says that without cia money the paper would not.
