Operation Condor

In the 1970s, a shadow network stretched across South America — a secret alliance of military regimes determined to stay in power.

This week, we’re diving into Operation Condor, the covert campaign that connected governments in in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, Bolivia, and Brazil in a coordinated effort to stop political opponents across borders.

How did these governments collaborate in secret?
Who was targeted — and how far did the operation reach?
And what role did global superpowers, including the Central Intelligence Agency, allegedly play behind the scenes?

In this episode, we unpack the origins of the operation, the dictators who drove it — including Augusto Pinochet — and the long shadow it still casts over South America today.

What happens when governments decide the law no longer applies to them?
