Click below to download: English language version Spanish language version This movie starring Derek Jacobi (I Claudius) in the main role shows an aging senile and volatile Pinochet held by the Brits in lavish style while debate raged on as to what legal ploy or feign as it were might be availed of by the government seeking to defeat obviously those wanting to see Pinochet tried for cries against humanity in the brutality of his regime against his own people - the people of Chile who experienced torture in massive numbers along with disappearances and such cruelties as rape and if you want to consider the gross details, our previous witness account from the upload of "santiago Italia" speaks of such barbaric misogynistic and inhuman cruelties as applying electric shocks to womens breasts and genitalia in a bid to curb liberal or left wing views considered extreme perhaps by the Pinochet junta - or perhaps just the cruelties of the day by some misfits in the army and secret police apparatus playing out sadistically against the population under cover of "maintaining order" and "keeping control" and "curbing dissent" The movie starts out with the claims that the CIA backed coup which brought this dictator to power and whose administration in Chile had US backing apparently regardless of the widely known about cruelty of the regime (comparable to Saddam in some respects too no doubt) and with Lady Thatcher paying him respects while held in Britain hoping he would escape justice as one would see it based on all accounts, the explanation lies in the suggestions on various websites on the Internet which speak to the period in a bid to defend his human rights abuses perhaps as on the whole to be taken into account with the huge economic gains made for decades following Pinochet's takeover and his market reforms and capitalist model to replace the communistic oppression of the Allende regime instead as is the view of those backing Pinochet. The claim is that Castro killed as many perhaps? (To promote his communist regime and keep it in place) (Check sites on the net for more on such claims) Communism is undoubtedly too a lousy way to exist and too kills the human spirit! So the question is 1) Was Pinochet the lesser of two evils (as it were) in the minds of his Western backers and observers, in regards to human rights abuses (communism abuses human sanity too in the case of those of merit who deserve better than to be oppressed for those of lesser quality of producer for the economy and society including the Arts etc) 2) Could he defend any of the abuses which took place in his own mind as being somehow needed to intimidate the majority to go along with his ideas for the country - despite the lack of democratic support at the outset we are told - as many dictators have taken to extreme measures to control huger populations through the infliction of fear so as to maintain rule of their own - such as Saddam might have believed in keeping the religious fundamentalists and even ISIS extremists from taking over all over in the mideast as the Bush regime was warned could be the outcome if Saddam was taken down and what clearly seems to have followed through as consequences following - the new mantra now being to "support democracy" as the US seeks to justify their action against Iraq even though the oppressive spirit of theocracy to replace secular governments has therefore resulted to reared its ugliness instead. How hypocritical. Ultimately history must decide - I do not believe that from what has been described of the period, even by my own dear brother in law Jose Beltran, now of Edmonton Canada - a saintly man - imprisoned by the regime - no doubt in my mind excesses did take place by rotten apples who cannot be considered sane in what was carried out and the degree of abuses and cruelties meted out in sadistic fashion for crissakes Never too late for justice I say, however all things must betaken into account and those unfit to live in our midst as being of inhuman mind in what was seen of them during this period - that the maximum penalty apply or none of us are safe ever - in our desire to exist sanely on the planet instead, Thanks for sharing - gracias too - especially to such great great men as are those from Spain as my brother in law Jose has always been - couldn't fathom to imagine a nicer man than him - thank god for Jose of Spain on this planet today I say - and forever more - amen to that Bro for such kindness of heart as I have never seen!
