In Brazil, imprisoned Lula da Silva has withdrawn from the Presidential race and selected former Sao Paulo mayor Fernando Haddad to replace him as the Workers Party candidate.        From CUBA- The US State Department is now blaming Russia as the main actor behind the alleged health incidents reported by US  diplomats in Havana.

Tens of thousands of Chilean citizens filled the streets of Santiago de Chile in solidarity with the victims of the Augusto Pinochet 17 year dictatorship, which began on September 11, 1973.        From RUSSIA-  On his program called Going Underground, Afshin Rattansi begins with a review of the aftermath of the 911 attack in the US. He then interviewed Ajuma Baraka, human rights activist and former Green Party candidate for Vice-President in 2016. They discussed the two 911s, one in Chile and one in the US. He says that the western backed coup in Chile was the beginning of the attempted overthrow of all leftist governments, as well as the birth of neo-liberalism. The 911 attacks in the US birthed the so-called war on terror aimed at al-Qaeda, which the US is now defending in the Idlib province of Syria.
