The real Che Guevara

[Sandokan]

Marcos Bravo, prominent leader of the July 26 Movement, fought against the dictatorship of Batista during the decade of the 50 and was jailed under this regime. Bravo's work is the result of several years of research, scrutiny and reflections. In his book The other face of Che. Ernesto Guevara, a whited sepulchre, he wrote: “The wound in the leg was a slight scratch that it did not prevent him from walking. At the moment of surrender he said ‘Don’t shoot, I’m Che Guevara’.”

Che only was able to beg for his life, he didn’t know to die like a man, like the 14 years old boy he killed at La Cabaña that said to him: “If you're going to kill me you're going to have to do it the way you kill a man, standing, not like a coward, kneeling.”

PBS Docuseries on Hemingway Covers-Up His Communist Connections

PBS Docuseries on Hemingway Covers-Up His Communist Connections by Humberto Fontova (townhall.com)

“They Are Giving Hemingway Another Look, So You Can, Too…Lynn Novick and Ken Burns consider the seminal writer in all his complexity and controversy in their new PBS documentary series. Could there be anything more subversive than turning a spotlight, in this moment, on Ernest Hemingway?” wrote Gal Beckerman in the The New York Times this month.

“Subversive?” Ah! At least the term appears in connection with the docuseries. And considering that Ernest Hemingway eagerly joined Stalin’s KGB (technically the NKVD at the time), secretly contributed tens of thousands to the Cuban communist party and (literally) drank, as a spectator, to Che Guevara and Fidel Castros’ firing-squad murder marathons, you might think the term “subversive” fits.

Fontova nailed, after all McCarthy was right. Hemingway supported lefties causes, a hypocritical fellow traveler. The PBS documentary is just glamorizing his life. He watched mass executions like it was an sporting event. He was a monster like Che Guevara.

Fontova nailed, after all McCarthy was right. Hemingway supported lefties causes, a hypocritical fellow traveler. The PBS documentary is just glamorizing his life. He watched mass executions like it was an sporting event. He was a monster like Che Guevara.

Hemingway described Fidel Castro regime as "very pure and beautiful", that alone tell you a lot about the man political leaning. He was just a typical lefty.

 

[Sandokan]

Hemingway invited his friend George Plimpton, editor of the Paris Review, to witness the shooting of prisoners condemned by the tribunals under Guevara's control. They watched as the men were trucked in, unloaded, shot, and taken away. As a result, Plimpton later refused to publish Guevara's memoir, The Motorcycle Diaries

The real Che Guevara 361-364 - EBay Scraps Dr. Seuss—But Proudly Markets Che Guevara

EBay Scraps Dr. Seuss—But Proudly Markets Che Guevara by Humberto Fontova (townhall.com)

Humberto Fontova | Posted: March 6, 2021

“EBay scraps ‘canceled’ Dr. Seuss books from site—eBay is barring users from reselling the six Dr. Seuss books that will no longer be printed due to their “racist” imagery…eBay is currently sweeping our marketplace to remove these items,” an eBay spokeswoman told the WSJ,” the New York Post reported this week.

The Dr. Seuss books violate eBay’s "offensive material policy," you see. "Listings that promote or glorify hatred, violence, or discrimination aren't allowed," eBay’s automated email explains.

Now feast your eyes on these eBay products, a total of 5400 items promoting Che Guevara, whose lifelong obsession was the destruction of the nation that made eBay founder (French-born) Pierre Omigyar a multi-billionaire!

And speaking of “hatred”:

“Hatred is the central element of our struggle!... Hatred that is intransigent….Hatred so violent that it propels a human being beyond his natural limitations, making him violent and cold- blooded killing machine!” (Thus spaketh the icon of flower-children.)

And speaking of violence:

“We reject any peaceful approach. Violence is inevitable. To establish Socialism rivers of blood must flow. The victory of Socialism is well worth millions of atomic victims!” (Thus spaketh the leftish idol promoted by eBay to the tune of almost 5,500 items.)

Extraordinary article by Humberto Fontova. Che Guevara was in deed a serial killer, pathological sadist. In his book "Che Guevara: A Biography," Daniel James writes that Che himself admitted to ordering “several thousand” executions during the first few years of the Castroit regime, after summary trials or no trial at all. He sermonize about hatred and violence.

According to Ciro Roberto Bustos, a fellow Argentinian from Mendoza, who was Che's right-hand man in Bolivia, in his book Che Wants to See You, wrote that Che Guevara was “a synthesis of pathological sadism and fundamentalist fanaticism.” He became what he preached, “a cold-blooded killing machine.”

 

[Sandokan]

In April 1967, speaking from experience, he summed up his homicidal idea of justice in his Message to the Tricontinental: “hatred is an element of struggle; relentless hatred of the enemy that impels us over and beyond the natural limitations of man and transforms us into effective, violent, selective, and cold killing machines. Our soldiers must be thus; a people without hatred cannot vanquish a brutal enemy.” This use of hatred to encourage the dehumanization of one’s enemy is but another manifestation of the doctrine found throughout the centuries to justify mass murder and torture.

 

[Sandokan]

Che Guevara was a genocidal maniac. Guevara should be judge by the outcome of his actions. He became what he preached, “a cold-blooded killing machine.” Daniel James writes that Che himself admitted to ordering “several thousand” executions during the first few years of Castro’s regime. He executed thousands without trial, and claimed that judicial evidence was an “unnecessary bourgeois detail”, signed death warrants for hundreds of men. He also said, “To send men to the firing squad, judicial proof is unnecessary. These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate.” The actual number of Che's victims may be known after the Castroit tyrannical regime is remove from power.

 

[Sandokan]

Che was in fact a failure at everything he attempted and survived only by virtue of his good looks and charisma alone. The Che myth has been created by Castro propaganda and only fools believe it. Unfortunately the World is full of gullible left-wing fools. Totalitarian progressive/regressive and leftists like Che and Castro seek to impose their murderous ideology on the people of the world to control them.

Che Guevara Goes from Defeat to Defeat – Translating Cuba

14ymedio, Havana, July 30, 2021 – “They tremble, freedom advances.” The phrase appeared this Friday on the face of Ernesto “Che” Guevara painted on a mural at the National University of Comahue, in the province of Neuquén, Argentina. The young human rights activist Agustin Antonetti shared on his Twitter account an image of the graffiti, which also contained the word “Genocide” and the phrase “More Hayek, less Marx.”

The Argentine, who studies International Relations at the Inter-American Open University of Rosario and frequently criticizes the human rights violations committed by the Cuban regime, wanted to record in his publication the meaning of what happened: “A great change is taking place in young people and it shows.”

“We are seeing a gigantic change in the mentality of young people in Latin America, although in many universities they are pressured by professors not to speak; now is the time for us to accompany them and promote them. A change has already begun and there will be no turning back,” Antonetti, who is also coordinator of the Youth Group of the Freedom Foundation, added in the Twitter thread.

The young people are mobilizing and demanding change. We can see their mobilization with regard to Che Guevara. A Che mural defaced at the National University of Comahue in Argentina. Also in Argentina young people at the University of Rosario are promoting an initiative to revoke the title of “illustrious citizen of Rosario” to Che Guevara

This mobilization has been taking place in other countries. In Venezuela a Che statue was torn down. In Spain, Zaragoza, they are renaming Che Guevara street, and in Galicia they are demanding the removal of Che Guevara statue. And in Mexico, after the 11 July protests in Cuba, several politicians resumed the debate to remove the sculpture in the capital that portrays Fidel Castro and Che Guevara seated together.

Quite right. There’s no place for statues of historical monsters and war criminals in our public spaces.

 

[Decypher]

I did find this quote interesting though:

In reality the Progressives are actually Regressives. They defend the “rights” of illegal immigrants over the safety of American citizens; use intimidation and mob violence, screaming insults and obscenities. They want to erase the past, pulling down statues of Confederate officers and crusading to change the names of towns, buildings and streets.

Notes from the Cuban Exile Quarter: Note to His Admirers: Comandante Ernesto "Che" Guevara is still dead and his ideas are toxic

POSTED BY JOHN SUAREZ

October 9, 2021

"I'd like to confess, at that moment I discovered that I really like killing." Ernesto "Che" Guevara, in a letter to his father after executing an unarmed man.


Che Guevara executed for trying to overthrow Bolivian govt on this day in 1967

Ideas have consequences and those ideas are sometimes represented in iconic images. This is the case of the image of Ernesto "Che" Guevara and his toxic philosophy of political action that others seek to emulate. He embraced hatred and dehumanization of the other as the means to carry out what he thought necessary actions.

“Blind hate against the enemy creates a forceful impulse that cracks the boundaries of natural human limitations, transforming the soldier in an effective, selective and cold killing machine. A people without hate cannot triumph against the adversary.”

Guevara's claim to fame was the role he played alongside Fidel and Raul Castro in installing a totalitarian communist regime in Cuba then attempting to spread this model using violent means in Africa and Latin America.

In January 1957, Guevara personally executed a peasant named Eutimio Guerra because he suspected him of passing on information and described the act in his diary:

“I ended the problem giving him a shot with a .32 pistol in the right side of the brain, with exit orifice in the right temporal. He gasped for a little while and was dead. Upon proceeding to remove his belongings I couldn’t get off the watch tied by a chain to his belt, and then he told me in a steady voice farther away than fear: “Yank it off, boy, what does it matter… I did so and his possessions were now mine

Later he shot Aristidio, a peasant who expressed the desire to leave whenever the rebels moved on. He ordered the death of Echevarría, a brother of one of his comrades, because of unspecified crimes: “He had to pay the price.” At other times he would simulate executions without carrying them out, as a method of psychological torture. .” [Jon Lee Anderson, Che Guevara: A Revolutionary Life (New York: Grove Press, 1997)].

When I was in Cuba nearly 12 years ago there was Che merchandise in every tourist store. I wonder if that's still so.

Btw, I was there 10 days only saw about 3 people actually wearing that shit.

These procedures are an archaic bourgeois detail. This is a revolution! And a revolutionary must become a cold killing machine motivated by pure hate. We must create the pedagogy of the paredon! (The Wall)" [Alvaro Vargas Llosa, The Killing Machine, The New Republic, 11/7/2005]

 

[Sandokan]

During the Cuban missile crisis on October 1962, Che demanded that nuclear war be unleashed on the United States. He told British reporter Sam Russell that “if the nuclear missiles had been under Cuban control (during the Cuban missile crisis), they would have fired them off.” Reportedly, he was disappointed when Khrushchev decided to draw back his weapons in the missile crisis. "If the rockets had remained, we would have used them all and directed them against the very heart of the United States, including New York, in our defense against aggression." And a couple of years later, at the United Nations, he was true to form: “As Marxists we have maintained that peaceful coexistence among nations does not include coexistence between exploiters and the exploited.” What scoundrel s.o.b he was.

 

[Sandokan]

On December 11, 1964, during a debate in the United Nations General Assembly where Guevara represented de Cuban government, this was severely attacked because of the firing squad executions without any judicial process and evidence as required by the rule of law. Guevara, on his own voiced, responded:

“Shooting people yes, we have shoot people and will continuo to do so until it will be required.” Video link: YouTube- che guevara"Che Guevara: AnatomÃa de un mito"

This show that he was a person convinced of what he was doing and could care less and has not any prejudice to send to the firing squad a lot of people, on condition that his points of view will prevail.

Excerpt from: Johann Hari: Should Che be an icon? No, 06 October 2007, Independent UK.

He bragged that there was "not a single discrepancy" between Mao"s world view and his own. As Che was happily fawning over Mao in the flesh in Beijing, in the surrounding countryside there was an epidemic of mothers cutting off the flesh from their inner thighs to feed it to their starving children. The programme that caused this biting hunger - the mass collectivization of the farms - represented "true socialist morality", Che said. The dictator killed 70 million people in the end, cheered on by his guerrilla friend at every stage.

Che was a staunch Stalinist, which after the Cuban missile crisis in 1962 started to move away from the Soviet Union, and by 1965 has become a Maoist Stalinist. Che Maoist vision was already in full blossom when his brake with the Soviet Union took place in Algiers, February 1965, at an international conference where he accused the Soviet Union of adopting the "law of value."

Che shout to his captors in Bolivia, “Don't shoot – I'm Che! I'm worth more to you alive than dead!” Why didn't he save his last bullet for himself? He only was able to beg for his life, he didn’t know to die like a man, like the 14 years old boy he killed at La Cabaña that said to him: “If you're going to kill me, you're going to have to do it the way you kill a man, standing, not like a coward, kneeling.”

 

[Sandokan]

On October 9, 1967 Ernesto "Che" Guevara got a major dose of his own medicine. Without trial he was declared a murderer and shot. Historically speaking, justice has rarely been better served. The butcher of la Cabaña. As the saying says, “he who lives by the sword, die by the sword.”

Death of an Evil Doofus—54th Anniversary of Che Guevara’s Comeuppance (townhall.com)

Humberto Fontova | Posted: Oct 09, 2021

“Che Guevara’s contribution to the Bay of Pigs victory was crucial,” writes Che hagiographer Jorge Castaneda, also a New York Times contributor, Columbia, Princeton, Harvard, NYU visiting professor and former Mexican Foreign Minister. “Che's military leadership was permeated by an indomitable will that permitted extraordinary feats."

Well, “extraordinary” is certainly one way of putting it. I refer to Che Guevara’s being wounded during that tragic battle. The wound, you see, came from a bullet that entered Che’s face just under his chin and exited under his ear doing only slight cosmetic damage to that forthcomingly famous Hollywood and Madison Avenue visage. Alas, the bullet was fired by Che himself from his own pistol!

But don’t bother looking for this extraordinary and sure-fire “human-interest” snippet in his Benicio Del Toro–acted/produced and Steven Soderbergh- directed Hollywood hagiography titled “Guerrilla!”—compared to which Audie Murphy in "To Hell and Back" comes across as a bumbling ninny.

Fascinatingly, though his U.S-based propagandists carefully avoid or underplay this “extraordinary” military exploit, Cuba’s own Communist party rag is perfectly up front about it.

“Che Guevara’s contribution to the Bay of Pigs victory was crucial,” says Jorge Castaneda. As a matter of fact, Che did not participate, and was not wounded in the Bay of Pigs battle. On April 17, 1961, when the invasion began, he was in the Province of Pinar del Río, taking command of the military forces, and this is what happened: “walked out of his office adjusting his holster, and tripped on a water pipe that was not buried. The belt fell to the ground and his pistol, which always had a bullet in the barrel, let go a shot that injured his face.” The shot that almost took Che's life › Cuba › Granma - Official voice of the PCC.

When the Rumanian writer Stefan Bacie visited Havana, Che Guevara
invited him to be present at an execution. Bacie has made reference a few times to this macabre invitation, the last time in his poem:

"I DO NOT SING TO CHE"

I do not sing to Che,
neither I have sung to Stalin
with Che I spoke enough in Mexico,
and in Havana he invited me,
biting the pure between the lips,
like inviting somebody to a drink in the bar,
to accompany him to see how people are shot
at the wall in la Cabaña.

I do not sing to Che,
neither I have sung to Stalin;
let Neruda, Guillen and Cortazar sing to him;
they sing to Che (the singers of Stalin),
I sing to the youth of Czechoslovakia.

Applicable to what is going now in Ukraine.

 

[Sandokan]

On his second to last day alive (Oct, 7, 1967) and under hot pursuit by Green Beret-trained Bolivian soldiers, Che Guevara ordered his guerrilla charges to give no quarter, to fight to the last breath and to the last bullet. “Che drummed it into us,” recalls Cuban guerrilla Dariel Alarcon, who indeed fought to his last bullet in Bolivia, escaped back to Cuba, defected, and died in Paris four years ago. “'Never surrender,' Che always stressed. 'Never, never!' He drilled it into us almost every day of the guerrilla campaign. 'A Cuban revolutionary cannot surrender!' Che thundered. 'Save your last bullet for yourself!'

With his men doing exactly that, Che snuck away from the firefight, crawled towards the Bolivian soldiers doing the firing—then as soon as he spotted two of them at a distance, stood and yelled: Don't Shoot! I'm Che! I'm worth more to you alive than dead!

Here is what Jon Lee Anderson wrote about Che Guevara capture in his very favorable biography.

When they were a few feet away, a short, sturdy highland Indian named Sergeant Bernardino Huanca, broke through the brush and pointed his gun at them. He claimed later that Che told him: “Do not shoot! I am Che Guevara and worth more to you alive than dead.” - Jon Lee Anderson, Che Guevara a revolutionary Life,1997

Che Was a Racist, Homophobe and Mass Murderer - HumanProgress -Part 1

By Guillermina Sutter Schneider | DECEMBER 15, 2017

Gay? Che Guevara would have sent you to a concentration camp.

Today, 50 years after his death, many people still remember Ernesto “Che” Guevara as a warrior for social justice. For so many celebrities, politicians, and activists, Che Guevara is a kind of Good Samaritan who fought against oppression and tyranny. It is unfortunate, though, that these people ignore some of their idol’s defining character traits.

Che Guevara was in fact an intolerant and despicable man.

In the process of building a communist society after Fidel Castro came to power in 1959 in Cuba, one of the ideas Che Guevara presented and promoted was the notion of the “new man.” This concept grew out of Guevara’s aversion to capitalism, and was first explained in his note on “Man and Socialism in Cuba“. He believed that “The individual under socialism (…) is more complete,” and that the state should educate men and women in anti-capitalist, cooperative, selfless and non-materialistic values.

Anyone who deviated from the “new man” was seen as a ”counter-revolutionary.” Such was the case of gay men —whom Guevara referred to as “sexual perverts.” Both Guevara and Castro considered homosexuality a bourgeois decadence. In an interview in 1965, Castro explained that “A deviation of that nature clashes with the concept we have of what a militant communist should be.”

Che dreamed of creating the "New Man" at any cost. He wrote this words that were printed on the booklets of Cuban soldiers sent to fight in Angola: : "Blind hate against the enemy creates a forceful impulse that cracks the boundaries of natural human limitations, transforming the soldier in an effective, selective and cold killing machine. A people without hate cannot triumph against the adversary." Che’s New Man: Fanatics, liars, assassins and failed men, reaching the total realization of being like Che.
