Kissinger told Pinochet that his regime was a victim of leftist propaganda on human rights. "In the United States, as you know, we are sympathetic with what you are trying to do here," Kissinger told Pinochet. "We want to help, not undermine you. You did a great service to the West in overthrowing Allende."

This war criminal is still alive.

*50 years ago on 9/11, Nixon and Kissinger killed Allende and Chile's Socialist Democracy*

Kissinger: "I read the briefing paper for this meeting and it was nothing but Human Rights," he told Carvajal. "The State Department is made up of people who have a vocation for the ministry. Because there are not enough churches for them, they went into the Department of State."

Greg Olear - Sunday Pages: "The Charge of the Light Brigade"
A poem by Alfred, Lord Tennyson

"If the First World War was dumb and avoidable, the Second World War was a necessary fight against a genocidal autocratic madman. The first Crimean War was dumb and avoidable. The war happening in Crimea now is a necessary fight against a genocidal autocratic madman."

One of the nicest guys. I sat on the bus with him for a bit after a show in Flagstaff - at which he did the entire Alice's Restaurant for the first time he said in like 20 years.

I'm just here for the dopamine I get when people like my post.

Then I re-read my own post, it's like giving it to mom to post on the fridge.

I need a life. 🤨

You know, one should rarely click on plain links, right? Ones you don't know. I know that things here are probably fun and not dangerous, but they're also a time suck. If you post a link with some description of what the fuck I'm supposed to go look at I might, or I might have absolutely no interest and it would be a courtesy for you to let me know.

You found it interesting, you posted it for us. Give us a clue. Thank you. 🩵

Wishing my pops a happy 107th from the other side. Hope you're doing well. Say hi to mom. 🩵

Shoring arrived this morning. Better late than after someone gets trapped, oops.

Yep, there it is. Wall collapsed and pinned the guy on the wall knee deep or so. You can see his boots in the hole they dug him out of.

Need wall plates below 5-6 ft depth IIRC.

I have violated this rule in a *much* deeper trench in the middle of winter in Wyoming -riding in the bucket down 15 ft it so to inspect archaeology in the walls - I was young & stupid.

A successful rescue needs a group photo.

I think there was some entrapment, as someone rushed a long iron bar over. The cat bucket was all the way down in the trench, so I thought maybe it had broken a hydraulic line and collapsed on the guy, but no fluid was evident around the place - and it would definitely be. They hauled him out on stretcher and gurney'd him to ambulance. Conscious, on drip. Boots and sox off. He'll be ok it seems. #NoOSHA

A round of applause just went up.

Someone is down in a trench on my block. Doesn't appear to be a collapse, and I saw people running to get cardboard to fan someone. Maybe it's heat exhaustion but there's three ambulances 2 fire trucks several cop cars and probably two dozen police and fire and EMT personnel. A lot of people looking in the ditch and I can't tell what's going on.

Good morning 🌞 my beautiful CoSo friends. New shocks smooth out poorly maintained roads and keep you safe. While you're under there, check your brakes. Also, keep an extra key handy. This public service announcement is brought to you by #coffee ☕ 🩵🖖
