Where do you imagine the term "plausible deniability" was born?
People have always had to wait until the classified documents somehow are released by the same government which created the coup and destroyed the leftist governments. In the case of Chile, it took decades. Meanwhile, even US citizens in Chile who DID have "hard evidence" like Charles Horman, and Frank Terrugi, whose own relatives didn't find them until well after they had been tortured and murdered by the Pinochet after they learned the US Navy had officers there working in the coup itself. One US Navy officer even drove Horman and his friend to their destination before Horman was murdered. That officer decided he would just retire in Chile, and not come back to the U.S. in his later years.
It's hard to believe right-wingers keep trying to demand U.S. American posters show "hard evidence" a coup is ongoing. That is so close to being idiotic it seems impossible anyone would admit posting it.
