"Anthony Bourdain, the host of “Parts Unknown” on liberal CNN, said last week that he would poison Donald Trump if the celebrity chef was asked to cater a peace summit between the President and Kim Jong Un. “Hemlock,” Bourdain simply replied when asked by TMZ what he would serve Trump and the North Korean dictator.”
OK, so Bourdain was joking. Har--Har! But here’s Bourdain from an interview right after Trump’s election:
“I will never eat in his (Donald Trump’s) restaurant. I have utter contempt for him, utter and complete contempt… I’m not going. I’m not going.” (Anthony Bourdain, Eater.)
Gosh? Bourdain sure seems sniffish about patronizing (much less publicizing) restaurants belonging to deviants from his political worldview. OK, fine. That’s his privilege.
But what does this say about the “principled” celebrity chef’s sniveling propagandizing for restaurants owned by the racist, mass-murdering, terror-sponsoring Castro-Family-and-Military-Crony Crime-Syndicate (habitually and grotesquely mislabeled as “Cuba” by Bourdain’s employers at The Travel Channel and CNN)?
"Yes, Go to Cuba!" gushed Bourdain at the end of a show he did from Cuba in 2011. Let’s hand it to this shameless and sniveling hypocrite, to this celebrity who wears his political principles and social-conscience on his shirtsleeve.
Anthony Bourdain — this “hipster” chef — has headlined several propaganda junkets (his shows from Cuba) to help secure the financial lifeline for a Stalinist regime that jailed and tortured the longest suffering black, female and gay political prisoners in the modern history of the Western Hemisphere.
Bourdain’s bootlicking services for the financial welfare of the terror-sponsors who craved to nuke his nation also included - not only a tourism commercial for the Castro family!-- but also an official “Tony Bourdain’s Guide to Cuba.” Along with a handy-dandy link from Bourdain’s page to the Castro-regime-owned Hotel Nacional — for quick and easy reservations!
In case you hadn’t heard, amigos: As Venezuela’s oil subsidies dry up, Castro’s Stalinist regime is increasingly living off tourism. And Cuba’s Intelligence and Military sector owns 80 percent of the tourism industry, as documented in Congressional testimony by retired Defense Intelligence Agency Cuba analyst, Lt. Col. Chris Simmons.
Those charming, smiling hosts who escorted Bourdain around Castro’s fiefdom were all regime apparatchiks. Immediately upon applying for his Cuban visa, well before Bourdain even set foot in Cuba, Castro’s intelligence had Bourdain completely sussed and his future escorts completely briefed. The procedure started the day he applied for a Cuban visa, as also explained by Lt. Col. Christopher Simmons. That your official “guides” while officially visiting a Communist nation were regime apparatchiks was common knowledge even to proto-imbeciles all during the Cold War. Bourdain was born in 1956.
Predictably, Bourdain snarks at travel and food-writers who “crassly commercialize” their reviews: such as in "The World's 50 Best List." "The guys who put together that list all call each other and horse trade. It's good for business, it's good for chefs, but I mean, no one takes it seriously. It's not even a popularity contest, it is a list brokered by a lot of people with common interests. They're in the business."
Not that any conceivable "horse-trading" transpired between The Travel Channel and CNN and the Stalinist apparatchiks who issued Bourdain’s visas!
If only Bourdain had demonstrated 1/100 of his vaunted "spunk" and "feistiness" against a regime that jailed political prisoners at a higher rate than Stalin during the Great Terror, murdered more Cubans than Hitler murdered Germans during the Night of Long Knives, and craved to nuke his homeland.
It’s an old story, actually. Where have we seen this lion to lamb metamorphosis before? Try Dan Rather, Andrea Mitchell, Barbara Walters, etc. etc. etc. They say weird things happen in the Bermuda Triangle. I say much weirder things happen in the Florida Straits. Let a Fake News reporter confront a Republican official, and he's a roaring, jabbing, snarking Torquemada. North of the Florida Straits and in front of Republicans no question is too rude, irrelevant or offensive; no demeanor too haughty, combative or insolent.
But just let these identical paragons of "feistiness" cross the Florida Straits and find themselves in front of "President" Castro or any of his apparatchiks. Remember Eddie Haskell addressing June Cleaver? "Why Mrs. Cleaver, you certainly look wonderful today! I was just telling little Theodore how I marvel at how you manage to look younger and younger every single day! And isn’t that a wonderful smell coming from the kitchen! I was just telling Theodore how lucky he is to have such a wonderful cook for a Mom!”
In a 1985 interview KGB defector Yuri Bezmenov explained his former employer’s recruitment process: “Cynical, ego-centric people who can look into your eyes with angelic expression and tell you a lie-- these are the most recruitable people for us; people who lack moral principals – who are either too greedy or who suffer from exaggerated self-importance. These are the people the KGB wants and finds easiest to recruit.”
Whether most of these celebrities appear (officially) on Castro’s payroll or not, for some reason Bezmenov’s description caught my eye — especially regarding the disproportionate number of Communist apologists found among celebrity ranks.
I believe you are 100% correct
and throw the key away.
smoking and drinking too much...reduced gray matter
Who suspected that so many of our fellow citizens were hate-filled sociopaths? I certainly didn’t.
Use to watch this whole till he gave a lecture on welcoming illegal aliens!!!
whole = whole (damn spellcheck!!!)
A HOLE
Why would this egotistical A-HOLE even be invited to any of Trump’s restaurants anyway? He is a legend in his own mind.
CNN is ISIS
He despises Gentiles.
Who despises Gentiles? Please answer my question.
The idiot in the article
No doubt about it.
I don’t care if it’s true or not. The accusation is too much fun to throw around.
Bourdain, Go suck on raw “Mountain Oysters” you Castro loving hypocrite!
Thank you. It was a pleasure talking with you.
At least you got my joke! Someone else responded to me: “That is stupid and ignorant. Drivers like you disgust me.”
I got it. :)
My reply in post# 53 was to your #49 post, where you CNN is ISIS and than you say in post 54 you don't care if it's true or not.
