Im the eldest of Ches four children with my mother. Papi was known around the world as the Argentine revolutionary, a guerrilla leader and major figure of the Cuban revolution, but we were just a normal family. I never felt special as his daughter. Where I did feel special was as the child of a couple who loved each other dearly. (Aleida Guevara in The Guardian.)
Awww .You can almost hear Hollywood sniffling en masse.
Can you imagine a respectable newspaper giving Heinrich Himmlers daughter a platform to sniffle over her darling papas domestic habits? Well, despite the half century of pinko hogwash, the only actual success in Che Guevaras miserable life came as mass-executioner of the unarmed and helpless, much like Himmlers.
And by the way, The Guardian would not have a difficult time finding Cuban women who lack sons and fathers because of Che Guevara. To wit:
A Spanish priest named Javier Arzuaga had the misfortune to preside over the Havana parish that included the citys La Cabana Fortress which Che converted into Cubas firing-squad and torture-central in January 1959.
During his painful rounds father Arzuaga was shocked to find a 16 year old boy named Ariel Lima among the condemned war-criminals crammed into the dungeons and torture chambers. The priest described the boy as totally dazed with his teeth constantly chattering and probably mentally-handicapped.
Astoundingly, father Arzuaga managed to get an audience with executioner-in-chief Che Guevara where he pleaded the boys case. Quickly I realized my pleas were pointless, recalls the priest. The harder I pleaded for his compassion, the wider and crueler became Che Guevaras famous sneer.
OK, fine. Well take it up tonight at the Tribunal of Appeals, Che finally said while continuing to sneer at the distraught priest.
But what Che did at the appeals hearing, (that was attended by little Ariels single mother) was confirm the death sentence and schedule the firing squad murder for that very night.
As they left the hearing, Che was walking with his usual entourage when he noticed me, recalls father Arzuaga. He sneered again and waved hello. Suddenly I saw Ariels hysterical mother run in front of Che and throw herself on the ground.
Woman, Guevara laughed at her. Go see that guy, and Che turned and pointed at me, writes father Arzuaga. Padre Javier is a professional at consoling people, Che chuckled. Then he looked over at me laughing. Shes all yours, padre.
I walked over and helped the devastated women who had fallen on the ground sobbing uncontrollably, recalls the priest. Put yourself in Gods hands, Mam, I prayed. Try and rise above this tragedy. God will help you learn to live without your son.
That night (the mentallyhandicapped) Ariel Lima was still in a totally dazed condition as they tied him to the execution stake, wrote father Arzuaga, totally unaware he was about to be murdered.
FUEGO! And the volley shattered Ariels little quivering body.
No doubt Che was watching and gloating from his window, as was his custom. Che's second-story office in La Cabana had a section of wall torn out so he could watch his darling firing-squads at work.
My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any surrendered enemy that falls in my hands! We must keep our hatred alive and fan it to paroxysm!
Alas, the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood rarely reached Che Guevaras nostrils from actual combat. It always came from the close-range murder of bound, gagged or blindfolded men (and boys).
Rigoberto Hernandez was 17 when Che's soldiers dragged him from his cell in La Cabana, jerked his head back to gag him, and started dragging him to the stake. Little "Rigo" pleaded his innocence to the very bloody end. But his pleas were garbled and difficult to understand. His struggles while being gagged and bound to the stake were also awkward. The boy had been a janitor in a Havana high school and was mentally retarded. His single mother had pleaded his case with hysterical sobs. She had begged, beseeched and finally proven to his "prosecutors" that it was a case of mistaken identity. Her only son, a boy in such a condition, couldn't possibly have been "a CIA agent planting bombs."
"FUEGO!" and the firing squad volley shattered Rigo's little bent body as he moaned and struggled awkwardly against his bounds, blindfold and gag.
Certainly we execute! boasted Che Guevara to the UN General Assembly Dec. 1964. And we will continue executing as long as it is necessary! Those executions (murders, actually; execution implies a judicial process) had reached about 16,000 by the time of Che Guevaras boast, the equivalent, given the relative populations, of over half a million executions in the U.S. (This figure comes from The Black Book of Communism, by the way, written by French scholars and published in English by Harvard University Press, neither outfit exactly a bastion of Crazy Embittered-Loud-Mouthed-Right-Wing-Cuban Exiles!
Quite fittingly, Ches bloodthirsty boast was made while addressing the hallowed halls of the United Nations on Dec. 9, 1964.
Perhaps Ambassador Nikki Haley can remind the UN General Assembly of the ovation they gave Che Guevara upon his boast that day?
Well documented. He was nothing but a thug and a murderer, a total psychopath. Anyone who defends him is a child of Satan.
Well, isn’t that special.
Her “father” was no more than a sperm donor spawn of the devil mass murderer who is burning in hell right now. If she isn’t careful, she will too. She needs to renounce him and carry the shame of him all her days.
The IRA supporting Irish Americans love them some Che!
So were Josef Stalin and Kim Jong Il.
And Hitler liked dogs. What’s their point?
The left loves leftist murderers.
Fortunately his comments about blacks should prevent him from having federal buildings named after him; he’ll be a hero to racist hard-core leftists, nothing more.
“Can you imagine a respectable newspaper giving Heinrich Himmlers daughter a platform to sniffle over her darling papas domestic habits?”
Truth is always stranger than fiction. Himmler’s daughter Gudrun is 88 years old and an unrepentant Nazi to this very day. She defends her father and Hitler as kindly and likeable to those around them.
Very well said
How many Guevara posters and T-shirts do you have?
Can’t figure why anyone would risk their lives, and the lives of their families, in order to escape? these idealistic wonderlands?
I guess we will never know.
Came to a sorry end in Bolivia.
I still need to have a Che shirt made. I want one with that picture of his worthless carcass being poked at by the Bolivian army.
A colleague told me a story about a German Scientist who worked in the U.S. space program after the war.
The scientist wore a fine, well made long overcoat.
The colleague mentioned something about Hitler, and the scientist responded with “Der Furer himself gave me this coat. He was a great man.”
Most men who achieve great evil are good to the people around them. They know how to charm and inspire loyalty.
Stalin and Kim Jong-un are exceptions, but I expect even they have proponents who extol their virtues.
Comic-character villains are rare.
Not at all
So he killed people and imprisoned homosexuals. It’s better than bottling it up.
The end justifies the means.
