The Price of Freedom: America’s Love Affair With Dictatorship | Cornelio Manifesto

From Chile to Iran, from Vietnam to Nicaragua, The Cornelio Manifesto traces the American addiction to order—how the United States has long disguised its pursuit of control as a mission of freedom. This episode exposes the hidden pattern behind decades of coups, interventions, and puppet regimes: when democracy elects the wrong kind of leader, America installs a “strongman” to correct it.

Through the story of Salvador Allende’s Chile, September 11, 1973, and the birth of Operation Condor, host Cory Edward Snider reveals how the CIA, Kissinger, and U.S. corporations turned Latin America into a laboratory for economic terror and political cleansing. From the bombing of La Moneda to the shadow networks of Colonia Dignidad, The Price of Order uncovers the machinery of empire that rebranded fascism as stability.

A sobering look at how comfort, control, and corporate greed replaced conscience, and how the myth of American freedom was built on the bones of the global south.
