September 11: The Death of Democracy in Chile
In the early 1970s the government of the United States of America, with their Chilean allies took a course that would destroy one of the most stable countries in South America. Caught up in the fervor of the Cold War, they set the stage to overthrow the first democratically elected Socialist leader of South America. Setting United States foreign policy for the foreseeable future, and setting back the progress of Chile indefinitely. While the United States did not instigate the coup, actions taken through covert support of the Chilean Armed Forces would set the stage for a chilling era for all Chileans. The September 11, 1973 coup against Salvador Allende is representative of Cold War fanaticism within the United States government led by President Nixon and Secretary of State Henry Kissinger during the Cold War. This fanaticism was brought on by the belief that Allende’s regime would become an anchor for Communism in South America and ruin the Chilean economy in the process.

Ghost In the well
Whispering Shadows In a small, secluded village surrounded by dense forests, there stood an ancient well. The villagers often spoke of whispers that drifted through the air, as if carried by the wind from the depths of that well. No one dared approach it after sundown, for they believed that a malevolent spirit resided within its dark confines. Legend had it that the spirit had been trapped there for centuries, waiting to exact revenge on anyone foolish enough to disturb its eternal slumber.
