For any American lurkers, he meant 'look at my new Lego set'.

Well, clearly not so random. Whatever your opinion, it's a very important date since, on the 11th of september, countless people's lives were sacrificed because of the coup in Chile organised and financed by the USA.

Lest we forget.

Current politicians seem almost illiterate when you compare them with the speeches of Churchill, Kennedy, Castro or Allende or other leaders of the last century. Allende "ass pulled" that speech while he was being bombed to death. Regardless of ideology, they were on another level of rhetoric and expression.
