(13,461 posts)I am going to check that out. I've run into an issue of only ever finding two to three opinions on anything, with even the same verbiage regurgitated on numerous web sites. I like to be able to access more information than that.

(42,239 posts)I knew for certain I had read in the past / years ago about the background link between the ITT and US involvement in Chile in 1973 - that's other than the obvious fact that ITT were big into copper at the time. Subsequently I referred to it here on occasions but could never find the article - it was buried.
Using millionshort , as per your OP , and discarding the first million I now find it easily :
"In particular, the president was aware that the owner of Chile's phone company, ITT Corporation, was illegally channelling funds into Republican Party coffers. Nixon could not ignore ITT--and ITT wanted blood. An ITT board member, ex-CIA director John McCone, pledged Kissinger $1 million in support of CIA action to prevent Allende from taking office.
"Separately, Anaconda Copper and other multinationals, under the aegis of David Rockerfeller's Business Group for Latin America, offered £500,000 to buy influence with Chilean congressmen to reject confirmation of Allende's victory."
