Bush linked to Pinochet?

[ck4829]

Bush Jr has not--and will not--inform Americans that one of his SS privatization "experts" he has consulted is Jose Pinera, a native of Chile, who not only owns a lucrative international pension-fund privatization consulting company, but was also the Minister of Labor in Chile during the murderous Pinochet regime ( (5) (6)). During his career in Pinochet's government, Pinera ended Social Security in his native Chile in 1981. Despite the fact that his privatization scheme has been an abysmal failure for the average citizen of Chile, Pinera has pushed this same program in countries all over the world, including the United States.

Jose Pinera is the co-chair of the Cato Institute's Project on Social Security Privatization, despite the outrage expressed by many when--thanks to new interest in the Pinochet regime following Pinochet's arrest in England--it became common knowledge that a powerful American conservative "think tank," in part funded by Richard Mellon Scaife, via Paul Weyrich's Free Congress Foundation (7), has played an important part in the brutal, CIA-backed and enabled Pinochet regime.(6)
