2. Shades of the Chilean Trucking Strike of 1973, which proved pivotal in the effort to oust Allende

The CIA, during the Church hearings, denied funding the truckers' strike - which went on for nearly a year despite nearly lacking funds themselves. They were not, however, able to deny that private monies flowed to the truckers' strike fund from the U.S. - including from firms and individuals associated with the CIA.

Nixon, by his own admission, committed $ 10 million (1970 dollars) to such efforts, "more if necessary." Lest we forget, today's neocons are much more brazen than Tricky Dick was.
