Chile’s former President Sebastian Pinera, a billionaire tycoon who twice held the South American nation’s top job, has died in a helicopter crash on Tuesday, his office said in a statement.
It’s believed he was flying himself and three other passengers.
The government has declared two days of national mourning for the 74-year-old who was president twice.
While some Chileans remember him as a leader who improved the economy and led the country during the unprecedented rescue of trapped miners, others call him a murderer and accuse him of human rights violations against demonstrators during his second presidency.

The US will not pursue direct military action against Iran for its long-term business interests and to retain power as the world’s superpower. America trades billions of dollars of arms to Middle East countries every year by presenting Iran as a threat to the Middle East countries and fearing that Iran will attack the Middle East countries. For so long the Middle Eastern sheep factions (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Kuwait, Jordan, Qatar) have been investing billions of dollars every year in US weapons to counter Iran. If Iran’s power is undermined by the American attack, the American arms trade will decrease by 60 to 70 percent. Because if Iran’s power is reduced by America’s attack, the group of sheep in the Middle East (Saudi Arabia, United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Jordan) will no longer invest in weapons to deal with Iran as it is past and present. Even after that, if the US carries out a military attack on Iran, the oil fields in the Middle East invested by Europe and America will be completely destroyed and the world’s oil and gas supply will be stopped. With that, Israel’s existence as a state will be in crisis. Because Iran has in its hands various ranges of advanced technology missiles with terrible destructive power. Violation of Iran’s sovereignty would lead to Iran conducting nuclear tests and declaring itself as a nuclear power. The sheep groups of the Middle East have not yet understood that Iran is not their enemy or threat, their main enemy and threat is America and Israel, who are pretending to be friends.

It’s Piñera, not Pinera
so who wanted him dead? I’ve lost track of this crazy world.
Mossad and West killed him. What a coincidence they killed him and at the same time they did the wildfire for distraction. They also wants to create smart city and they wants theirs resources too.
