Nixon on Chile
Call Number: CD 258Format: CDCollection: Compact discs and videos representing digitized copies of analog tapes
Past President Richard Nixon is interviewed by Frost about the US reasons for cutting off financial assistance to Chile after Allende was elected as well as the reasons why the US supported Pinochet after the coup. He states that, because Chile was exapropriating American property, Allende was a threat to the United States. On the difference between Pinochet and Allende, Nixon says that Allende posed a security threat to the US (the threat of becoming another Cuba- the “Red Sandwich” analogy) because his government was a “left-wing dicatorship” while Pinochet’s regime was more of a human rights concern. That the US only disapproved of Pinochet’s internal policies but his foreign policy was fine.
Maurice Bishop at Hunter College - Part 2
Date: 1/1/1983Call Number: CD 264Format: CDCollection: Compact discs and videos representing digitized copies of analog tapes
Leader of the New Jewel Movement and Prime Minister of Grenada, Maurice Bishop (1944-1983) gives a rousing speech to a fiery audience at Hunter College in New York City shortly before his US-backed overthrow and execution. Speaking on the vision of a new Grenada, Bishop emphasizes an institutional system of popular democracy which would strive to include the participation of all Grenadians especially that of women, youth, and labor-segments of the population previously subject to brutal repression under corrupt previous governments and British colonialism. Bishop also speaks on the necessity of an internationalist perspective especially when standing in solidarity with Latin American and African nations struggling against imperialism and counter-insugency terrorism, and for self determination. Bishop also addresses Grenada’s relationship with Cuba and pays special attention to the construction of the Grenadian International Airport and the disinformation campaign promulgated by the US surrounding Grenadian-Cuban solidarity. This section of the speech take on an eerie air as it was the construction of this airport and Grenada’s relationship with Cuba that was used as pretext for the US invasion of the island, resulting in the murder of Bishop.
