        Indeed, the October 1970 plot against Chile's President-elect Salvador Allende, using CIA 'sub-machine guns and ammo', was the direct result of a plea for action a month earlier by Donald Kendall, chairman of PepsiCo, in two telephone calls to the company's former lawyer, President Richard Nixon.

        Kendall arranged for the owner of the company's Chilean bottling operation to meet National Security Adviser Henry Kissinger on September 15. Hours later, Nixon called in his CIA chief, Richard Helms, and, according to Helms's handwritten notes, ordered the CIA to prevent Allende's inauguration.

    It is amazing that she thought she could/should hold on after this

    shame has been entirely bred out of the 'elite' class, as long as you never back down and never admit fault you can basically do anything

      Secret service is notorious for regular impressive fuck ups. Gonna be funny when that keeps happening even after losing out the scapegoat.

    This is why you never trust local law enforcement.

    It's like the USS went: "Uvalde Police Department? Is that some kind of weird ass speakeasy?"
