“Mexicans are mostly a rabble of illiterate indians” (Che Guevara, 1955). In the historic annals of unrequited love few cases rival the affair by Chicanos with Che Guevara. I trust Che’s iconization is sufficiently documented by U.S. Chicano groups in their murals (i.e. graffiti.) They seem to plaster this lily white Argentinian racist’s mug on practically everything they paint to celebrate their Amerindian Aztec culture. Go figure. Perhaps a word with some Bolivian Amerindians who actually experienced Che Guevara’s plans to Stalinize their culture would help. In 1967 these (overwhelmingly indigenous) Bolivians (with help from U.S. Green Berets) made short work of this Chicano hero. If a picture’s worth a thousand words than this one’s worth a million. Please note the obvious ethnic compositions of the gentlemen proudly and triumphantly holding their guns over their vanquished European would-be enslaver. At any rate, if any doubt remains about Che Guevara’s iconization by Chicanos I give you “The Last Supper of Chicano Heroes." This painting “ is a re-construction of da Vinci's painting "The Last Supper," replacing religious figures with Chicano activists. Artist José Antonio Burciaga polled Chicano students and activists to determine who would be depicted.” You guessed it. Che Guevara sits at the head of the table. You see, amigos: Prior to “invading” Cuba, Castro’s “guerrillas” “trained” in Mexico. Some of these former “guerrillas” later defected to the U.S. and revealed how the sneering Ernesto “Che” Guevara constantly insulted his Mexican hosts. Hence, the quote at the top of this article: “Mexicans are mostly a rabble of illiterate indians,” (Che Guevara, 1955) It was in 1955 that a Cuban criminal named Fidel Castro linked up with an Argentine hobo named Ernesto Guevara in Mexico City. Minus this historic hook-up everything points to Ernesto (shortly known a “Che”) continuing his life of a traveling hobo, panhandling, mooching off women, staying in flophouses and scribbling unreadable poetry. Alas! Instead this thoroughly unimposing vagabond and psycho named Ernesto Guevara had the magnificent fortune of linking up with modern history's top press agent, Fidel Castro, who over half a century had the mainstream media anxiously scurrying to his every beck and call and eating out of his hand like trained pigeons. His brother’s not doing too bad at this either. Fidel and Raul were in Mexico putting together a guerrilla band to invade Cuba and overthrow the black Cuban head-of-state Fulgencio Batista. With the financial help of his wealthy lily-white Cuban backers of the time, Castro hired a Cuban Korean war veteran named Miguel Sanchez to train his guerrilla band. None of the trainees had the slightest combat-experience so their extra-curricular curiosity on the matter did not surprise Sanchez. But one of the trainees struck Sanchez as bit strange, especially the gleam in his eye regarding the act of killing. “How many men have you killed?” this trainee constantly asked Sanchez. “What does it feel like to kill a man?” “Look Ernesto (he was not yet known by his moniker “Che,”)” Sanchez would reply. “It was a war. I was in combat. It wasn’t a personal thing. Most soldiers don’t make it a personal thing. You aim at an enemy uniform and pull the trigger. That’s it.” “But did you ever come upon a wounded enemy and kill him with the coup de grace?” A wide-eyed Ernesto Guevara would continue. “What did it feel like? I want to know what it feels like.” “It became obvious to me that the man who would shortly become known as “Che” wanted to kill for the sake of the act itself,” recalled Sanchez later from exile in Miami, “instead of-- as in the case of most others, and this includes Fidel and Raul Castro themselves—as a means to an end. That end for Castro, of course, was absolute power,” Sanchez quickly recognized. “His power lust fueled his killing, and it didn’t seem to affect him one way or the other. With Ernesto Guevara, however, it struck me as a different motivation, a different lust.” “On Sundays in Mexico I would often dine with Guevara and his Peruvian wife, a great cook,” recalls Sanchez. “Ernesto was a voracious reader and loved poetry. I’ll never forget his favorite poem “despair” by Jose de Espronceda. I would love to light the flames of a holocaust which spreads devouring flames that pile up dead and roast an old man until he crackles What pleasure! What Pleasure!” “Ernesto Guevara would close his eyes dreamily and recite it from memory during all of my visits, even at the dinner table, recalled Sanchez. “He went into convulsions for a while and was finally still,” gloats Che Guevara in his Cuban diaries. He was lovingly describing the death agonies of a bound Cuban peasant he had just shot in the temple with his pistol. “Now his belongings were mine.” (Unwittingly here Che Guevara defines Communism in a nutshell: cowardly murder and theft.) Another item Sanchez recalls about Ernesto Guevara was his constant belittling of his hosts: Mexicans. “These Mexicans are nothing but a rabble of illiterate Indians,” Che Guevara often snickered.

Che was a wealthy man who came from a wealthy Argentine aristocratic family. He even went to medical school. Which might be why all the American millionaire communists like Carlos Santana and the English communists like Eric Burton love him so much. They love having the revolutionary image without any of he suffering stuff. I used to know a couple of the guys that were there they day Che was captured,and then executed by the Bolivians. His East German girlfriend fought to the death,but this punk threw down his gun and surrendered once he figured out he was surrounded and not going to be able to run away from this one. It was said he begged for his life. After he was dead and the photo taken to prove it,his body was dismembered and the various pieces buried in scattered unmarked holes so there would be no place for people who idolized him to visit and keep his lie alive. Carlos ended up with a worse fate than Che. After Billy Waugh (who was following Osama bin Laden and waiting for orders to kill or capture him) spotted him arriving at a dinner party in Kabul. Billy knew him from when he was training anti-Soviet rebels in Afghanistan,and knew bin Laden was a suspect in the Africa embassy bombing,and the attack on the USS Cole. After spotting Carlos he asked for permission to take him out and set up a sniper post in an apartment across the street from the Villa Carlos was staying in,so he would be ready if permission was granted. It wasn't. Instead he was ordered to show the French police flying into Kabul where he was so they could arrest him and take him back to France and put him on trial for multiple murders. It has been over 2 decades since this happened,and to this very day Carlos is in a one man cell with a guard posted outside his door to make sure no one speaks or passes anything to him. Other than his lawyer who quit visiting when the appeals ended and prison doctors,no one has seen or spoken to him in all this time. IIRC,he is allowed to send and receive letters to relatives,but they are all read and edited before delivery. Of course,now that the Muslims are taking over in France,Carlos could have a full pardon and be the French VP within a couple of years. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
Carlos was bad too but Che is admired on a truly irrational level. Carlos doesn't have murals and T-shirts and parades like Che. It makes even less sense when you realize what a white Euro scumbag he really was.
The way they are idolising terrorists we can expect Baghdadi to be featured next, I'm surprised OBL doesn't have his own icon by now
Only because he operated in Europe before being a terrorist really because a trendy thing to be. Carlos was a European scumbag,and Che was a South American scumbag. Of the two,I think Che was the one that lucked out at the end. I guess a good claim could be made that Carlos is still alive,if you can honestly call that a life. The French may be more than a little flaky,but they take hard time seriously. In the entire history of the world,the only nations that had to build walls to keep their own citizens from leaving were those with leftist governments.
