When Che Guevara and Castro Wished Us a Happy Thanksgiving

“We must keep our hatred (against the U.S.) alive and fan it to paroxysm!” raved Che Guevara in his Message to the Tri-Continental Conference in 1966. “The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we’ll destroy him! We must bring the war to the imperialist enemies’ very home, to his places of work and recreation.” 

(BTW, Time Magazine hails Che Guevara among its “Heroes and Icons of the Century!” alongside Anne Frank, Rosa Parks and Mother Theresa.)  

Fortunately on Nov. 17 1962, J. Edgar Hoover’s FBI foiled the “war” Castro and Che had planned for us—and in some of some of our very favorite “places of recreation.” To wit: In those days Macy’s got around 50,000 shoppers on Black Friday. 

On the morning of November 17th, 1962, FBI headquarters in Washington D.C. took on “all the trappings of a military command post,” according to historian William Breuer. The previous night an intelligence puzzle had finally come together. The resulting picture staggered the FBI men. And these had served at their posts during WWII and the height of the Cold War. They’d seen plenty. Now they had mere days to foil a crime against their nation to rival Hideki Tojo’s.

At the time (pre-Mueller and Comey), the FBI relied heavily on “HUMINT” (Human Intelligence.) So they’d expertly penetrated the plot, identified the ringleaders and had them tapped. 

Like hawks on a perch they’d been watching the plot unfold, sweating bullets the whole time. It was nearing time to swoop down on Fidel Castro and Che Guevara’s agents, who were busy with a terror plot that would have made Al Qaeda and ISIS drool decades later.

Alan Belmont was second to J Edgar Hoover at the time. Raymond Wannall headed the Bureau’s Intelligence Division. That nerve-jangling morning both were in Belmont’s office just down the hall from Hoover’s. Both were burning up the telephone lines to their agents in New York. On one phone they had Special Agent John Malone who ran the New York field office. On other lines they talked with several carloads of FBI agents slinking around Manhattan. These were keeping a touch-and-go, but more or less constant, surveillance on the ringleaders of the monstrous Cuban terror plot.

You see amigos: Castro’s agents had targeted Macy’s, Gimbels, Bloomingdales, and Manhattan’s Grand Central Station with a dozen incendiary devices and 500 kilos of TNT. The holocaust was set for detonation the following week, on the day after Thanksgiving.

A little perspective: For their famous March 2004 Madrid subway blasts, all 10 of them, which killed and maimed almost 2,000 people, al-Qaeda used a grand total of 100 kilos of TNT. Castro and Che’s agents planned to set off five times that amount of explosive power in the three biggest department stores on earth, all packed to suffocation and pulsing with holiday cheer on the year’s biggest shopping day. Macy’s gets 50,000 shoppers that one day. Thousands of New Yorkers, including women and children—actually, given the date and targets, probably mostly women and children—were to be incinerated and entombed. (“We greeted each other as old friends,” gushed Jimmy Carter when visiting Fidel Castro in 2002.)

One by one the ringleaders were methodically ambushed. The first was named Roberto Santiesteban, who worked as a Cuban “diplomat” at the UN. He was nabbed while walking down Riverside Drive. As the agents closed in, Santiesteban saw them and took off while jamming paper in his mouth and chewing furiously.

But six FBI agents were after him, all fleet of foot themselves. Finally they closed the ring and “triangulated” the suspect. Santiesteban fell, raging and cursing, flailing his arms and jabbing his elbows like a maniac. They grabbed his arm and bent it behind his back just as he was reaching for his pistol.

Among the other apprehended terrorist ringleaders were two KGB-trained Cuban agents who also worked as “diplomats” in Cuba’s UN mission. Their names were Jose Gomez-Abad and Elsa Montero. Alas, all these “diplomats” enjoyed “diplomatic immunity” and were soon back in Cuba as heroes instead of in electric chairs at Sing Sing.  

 “Elsa Montero and Jose Gomez Abadchampioned this project,” is a phrase that appears in the acknowledgements to a booktitled, "Inside the Cuban Revolution" by the Council on Foreign Relations Senior Fellow and Fake News Media commentator Dr. Julia Sweig. “In Cuba many people spent long hours with me, helped open doors I could not have pushed through myself."

 “Julia Sweig is director for Latin America studies at the Council on Foreign Relations,”is how NPR introduces this favorite quest commentator of theirs.

“Julia Sweig heads the Latin American division for the Council on Foreign Relations," ishow Stephen Colbert introduces her on his show.

“Julia E. Sweig is senior fellow and director of Latin America studies at the Council on Foreign Relations," is The New York Times’s intro.

And CBS proudly claims Julia Sweig as their very own “CBS News Analyst.”

Among many other scholarly accomplishments, according to her own CV circa 2016: “Dr. Sweig…helped lay the groundwork for President Obama’s current (Cuba) policy initiative.”

In case you hadn’t heard, prospective President Joe Biden is already staffing his team for a replay of that “policy initiative” with terror-sponsoring Cuba.

Che was your hero if he didnt kill anyone in your family
A great example of the stupid youth in this country who were not taught history and are busy playing on thier I phones

[marktwain]

Che loved to kill people. He wrote about how much he enjoyed it.

The question I like to ask: Given what we KNOW about the history of Communism in the 20th Century, how is playing footsie with Communists, or displaying Communist iconography, any more socially acceptable than associating with Nazis / displaying a swastika?

I maintain both are reprehensible.

He was also an overt racist against blacks, it is clear in his writings. Yet our extremist Leftists embrace him.

The Infamous Firing Squads

Thousands of Cubans have died in front of Castro’s infamous ‘paredón’ (the wall). There was no discrimination, as far as sending people to the firing squad was concerned. Young and old, black and white, rich and poor were sent to ‘el paredón’.
Many of those who helped Castro gain power, like Comandantes Ernesto Sori Marin and William Morgan, an American, were among the thousands who were shot.

And more than fifty years after the above photos were taken, Castro and his gang of murderers continue to send to the firing squad, those Cubans who oppose his betrayal of the Revolution.

Prisoners were taken to the town cemetery and they would have to wait in line and witness the other executions, before they themselves were shot.

Col. Cornelio Rojas, chief of police of Santa Clara, is shown here in a jail cell before che Guevara ordered him to be shot to death without a trial.

The photos above show the brutal murder of Col. Rojas, who was shot to death on orders of Guevara, without the benefit of a trial.
