The Curse Of Che Guevara

By Jens Glüsing

Legendary Argentinian guerrilla fighter Ernesto "Che" Guevara was shot dead in Bolivia 40 years ago. Some worship him like a saint, while others credit him with the power to take revenge on his killers from beyond the grave.

The man who shot the most famous guerrilla fighter of all time lives in Bolivia's largest city, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, in a typical middle-class neighborhood. The street is quiet and located close to Avenida Paraguay, one of the main thoroughfares in the sprawling city. The man who lives here is 68 years old, white-haired and stocky. He once served in the military and was honorably discharged 10 years ago. The former soldier is married and has five children. He introduces himself to strangers as "Pedro Salazar," but his real name is Mario Terán.

It was Mario Terán who killed Ernesto "Che" Guevara 40 years ago on Oct. 9, 1967.

"He had shouldered his gun and was carrying a beer in each hand when he came up the hill and towards the school," 63-year-old farm worker Manuel Cortéz remembers. He lives next door to the school in the tiny village of La Higuera, about 250 kilometers (155 miles) southwest of Santa Cruz. Cortéz had seen Che being locked inside the school along with his fellow combatant, Willy, the day before. The Bolivian army had ambushed the utterly exhausted guerrilla fighters in a nearby valley. "The soldiers celebrated their triumph all night," Cortéz remembers.

"Some worship him like a saint, while others credit him with the power to take revenge on his killers from beyond the grave."

Being that "Che" was a commie pig atheist, Guevara might be perplexed at being called a "saint" by "worshipers." Although, it is not too uncommmon for totalitarian despots to proclaim themselves as "living gods" to their subjects (the North Korean tyrants have done this.)

As far as curses go, the deaths of his killers are just coincidences. After 40 years, many of those associated with Guevara's capture and death have undoubtedly met death through disease, old age, accidents, tragedy, etc. This story by Spiegel just seeks to gin up the cult of Che...

The real curse of Che is over 100,000,000 murdered people attributed to Che’s ideology.

Boy, it really is astonishing that over the course of 40 years a group of soldiers and politicians in a Latin American country have died.

It must be some sort of curse.
