Che at the Oscars
Humberto Fontova
Friday, April 1, 2005

Did you catch Carlos Santana's grand entrance at the Oscars?
Well, the famed guitarist couldn't contain himself. He stopped for the photographers, smiled deliriously and swung his jacket open. TA-DA! There it was: Carlos' elegantly embroidered Che Guevara T-shirt. Carlos' face as the flashbulbs popped said it all. "I'm so COOL!" he beamed. "I'm so HIP! I'm so CHEEKY! So SHARP! So TUNED IN!"

Tune in to this, Carlos: In the mid 1960s Fidel and your charming T-shirt icon set up concentration camps in Cuba for, among many others, "anti-social elements" and "delinquents." Besides Bohemian (Haight-Ashbury, Greenwich Village types) and homosexuals, these camps were crammed with "roqueros," who qualified in Che and Fidel's eyes as useless "delinquents."

A "roquero" was a hapless youth who tried to listen to Yankee-Imperialist rock music in Cuba. Comprende, Carlos? Do you see where I'm going with this, Carlos?

Yes, Mr. Santana, here you were grinning widely – and OH-SO-hiply! – while proudly displaying the symbol of a regime that MADE IT A CRIMINAL OFFENSE TO LISTEN TO CARLOS SANTANA MUSIC! You IMBECILE!!

True, you didn't hit it big till Woodstock in 1969, at a time when Che had already received a heavy dose of the very medicine he had gallantly dished out to hundreds of bound and gagged men and boys, some as young as 14. This means the first inmates of his concentration camps were probably guilty of the heinous crime of listening mainly to the Beatles, Stones, Kinks, etc. But the regime Che helped set up kept up the practice of jailing "roqueros" well past the time when you were hot on the rock charts, Carlos.

Lest we get carried away with merely laughing at your stupidity, I'll pass along the thoughts from Cuban music legend Paquito D'Rivero. He wrote his recent letter to you in Spanish. "My command of English wouldn't allow me to fully express my indignation" at your cheeky Oscar gig, he explained.

Seems that Mr. D'Rivera had relatives among those your T-shirt icon jailed, tortured and murdered. In closing, Mr. D'Rivera wishes you good luck in your professional endeavors. He says you'll need it, considering that you'll soon be playing a gig in Miami.

A Cuban gentleman named Pierre San Martin was also among those jailed by the gallant Che. A few years ago he recalled the horrors in an El Nuevo Herald article.

"Thirty-two of us were crammed into a cell," he recalls. "Sixteen of us would stand while the other sixteen tried to sleep on the cold filthy floor. We took shifts that way. Actually, we considered ourselves lucky. After all, we were alive. Dozens were led from the cells to the firing squad daily. The volleys kept us awake. We felt that any one of those minutes would be our last.

"One morning the horrible sound of that rusty steel door swinging open startled us awake and Che's guards shoved a new prisoner into our cell. His face was bruised and smeared with blood. We could only gape. He was a boy, couldn't have been much older than 12, maybe 14.

"'What did you do?' We asked horrified. 'I tried to defend my papa,' gasped the bloodied boy. 'I tried to keep these Communist sons of b**tches form murdering him! But they sent him to the firing squad.'"

Soon Che's goons came back, the rusty steel door opened and they yanked the valiant boy out of the cell. "We all rushed to the cell's window that faced the execution pit," recalls Mr. San Martin. "We simply couldn't believe they'd murder him! Then we spotted him, strutting around the blood-drenched execution yard with his hands on his waist and barking orders – the gallant Che Guevara.

"Here Che was, finally in his element. In battle he was a sad joke, a bumbler of epic proportions [for details see "Fidel: Hollywood's Favorite Tyrant"], but up against disarmed and bloodied boys he was a snarling tiger.

"'Kneel Down!' Che barked at the boy.

"'ASSASSINS!' We screamed from our window. 'MURDERERS!! HOW CAN YOU MURDER A LITTLE BOY!'

"'I said, KNEEL DOWN!' Che barked again.

"The boy stared Che resolutely in the face. 'If you're going to kill me,' he yelled. 'you'll have to do it while I'm standing! MEN die standing!'

"COWARDS! MURDERERS! Sons of B**TCHES!" The men yelled desperately from their cells. "LEAVE HIM ALONE!" HOW CAN ...?!"

"And then we saw Che unholstering his pistol. It didn't seem possible. But Che raised his pistol, put the barrel to the back of the boy's neck and blasted. The shot almost decapitated the young boy.

"We erupted. We were enraged, hysterical, banging on the bars.'MURDERERS! ASSASSINS!' His murder finished, Che finally looked up at us, pointed his pistol, and BLAM-BLAM-BLAM! emptied his clip in our direction. Several of us were wounded by his shots."

To a man (and boy) Che's murder victims went down in a blaze of defiance and glory. So let's recall Che's own plea when the wheels of justice finally turned and he was cornered in Bolivia. "Don't Shoot!" he whimpered. "I'm Che! I'm worth more to you alive than dead!"

This swinish and murdering coward, this child killer, was the toast of the Oscars.

Hollywood and the Hollywood left are feeling the pinch of box-office failures and have been for some time. You can attempt to divert attention from the fact Hollywood and the leftist morons who infest that particular section of Los Angeles County, are losing more of their credibility with every attack on America and the president...in public speech or on the screen. But that isn't going to work and until they get their leftist heads out of their @sses, they are going to feel an ever increasing pinch of falling revenues. The idols of Hollywood are already taking pay cuts just to get parts. I like that.

And Hollywood Wonders Why They're Failing

Why, oh why, has Hollywood seen its worst boxoffice receipts in 15 years?

The Golden Globe nominees for 2005 Best Picture say it all. Thought to be the precursor for the Oscar, here's what Hollywood thinks is their best of the year, and consequently what they think our culture should look like:

1) A love story between two gay sheepherders (erroneously labeled 'cowboys' by the media, I suppose because they wear hats).

*2) A film portraying as noble the efforts of journalists to demonize and "take down" a US Senator whose anti-communist policies they did not like.

*3) A film about, as one movie-going reviewer noted, "...the horrors of big business and the way they are willing to experiment on the poor to achieve their goals..."

*4) The demonization of the average mid-western American man as someone who is no hero, but a cold-blooded killer at heart.

*5) And lastly, a Woody Allen film about infidelity. Well, he should know.*

Hollywood honchos continue to wring their hands over why you've stopped going to the movies. They blame ticket prices and DVD availability. They had better start considering the fact that filmmakers are so disconnected, so nihilistic, that the hopelessness and hostility they feel toward the world now permeates their work.

Americans will no longer go see movies which are nothing more than the manifestation of the backwash of malignant narcissists.

We're also sick and tired of listening to actors lecture us about how awful the US is, and more recently, why a cold-blooded mass murdering gang founder should have been given clemency. Enough is enough.

Not only will we not go see films which insult us, we refuse to support an existential worldview. We happen to think life does matters, that decency is a good thing, and that people are inherently good, not bad. We also have stopped believing the lie that Americans are bad people. We looked away for 4 decades as that lie was spread, but that time is over.

So you can take your gay sheepherder, noble communist supporting reporters, big-business is evil, Americans are hopelessly and inherently corrupt and violent and unfaithful movies and go to Cannes where at least the Parisian set will love you. But that won't exactly pay the bills, will it?

It used to be whichever movie won the top awards guaranteed boffo box office. Not any longer. The Golden Globe (the 'foreign' press contingent) and the Oscar people are going to find that their nights of orgiastic self-congratulation won't get them much, if anything, any more.

In the meantime, I'll be adding some of the old classics to my Netflix queue.

I do note those misrepresenting their company's profits and hiding business losses all through the 1990's have been prosecuted by the Bush Justice Department...as they should be.

If you mean business pursues profits, then I would say that's exactly what they should be doing...within the confines of the law.

If you refer to corporate lobbying of Congress for an edge and paying individual members of Congress or paying the National Party Committees for specific legislation or party positions favorable to their corporation(s); I would prosecute their executive officers, lobbyists and congressional members and put them in prison....and I don't care which corporations or congressional members it happened to be. If there's a quid pro quo involved, off to prison they go.

Whether you buy it or not, the fact is that ever increasing numbers of Americans aren't buying their bullsh*t either. Declining revenues, loss of credibility and influence, layoffs and pay cuts are here and more are in their future.

As for watching the Oscars acoustic, I was in good company with others who had something useful to do and didn't watch Hollywood congratulate themselves for the crappy products they turned out. The Oscar orgy of self congratulation have a sharply declining audience and this year was no exception.

I can imagine that you, on the other hand were all atwitter.

One of the major problems in a democracy is getting sound advice on the best course to take in matters of public policy.

If your house has a plumbing problem, you call a plumber. If your appendix is painfully inflamed, you go to a doctor – and probably, after that, to a surgeon. We sensibly solve many of life's problems by seeking the most authoritative advice available.

But when it comes to deciding major questions of public policy – should we bomb Iran, drill for oil in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge, or grant amnesty to illegal aliens? – a democratic society is to some extent a prisoner of its own principles. If we were a dictatorship, the big decisions would be made by professed experts (people, say, particularly well versed in interpreting Marx's laws of history). But a democratic society gives everyone an equal vote in choosing those who shall make the big decisions – subject, of course, to continuing pressures on them to decide in particular ways. And anybody who has an opinion is entitled to speak up and let his views be known, whether he knows anything about the subject or not.

This was first brought home to me by a fellow senior in college who once said to me, "I am getting a little tired hearing what some freshman thinks about Greece." He had a point. We spend an enormous amount of time listening to the views of people who haven't the slightest credentials on the subject they are talking about. There's nothing wrong with this if we believe they are at least intelligent observers, capable of thinking logically. But all too often the loudest voices belong to people who are no such thing.

Often, their views will be peddled as some sort of unassailable collective wisdom. People with credentials as "scientists" of one sort or another are among the worst examples. We are forever being told, for example, that "ten thousand climate experts are united" in warning us against the perils of global warming. But, as economist and former chancellor of the Exchequer Lord Nigel Lawson wrote in a highly intelligent article on the subject in March 11's The Spectator, "I readily admit that I am not a scientist myself; but then the vast majority of those who pronounce with far greater certainty than I shall on this aspect of the issue are not scientists either; and the vast majority of those scientists who speak with great certainty and apparent authority about climate change are not in fact climate scientists at all."

The truth is that scientists and other alleged experts enjoy shooting off their mouths on subjects outside their field of expertise as much as anybody else, and are not above passing themselves off as entitled to special attention when they do so.

Far worse is the case with denizens of that screwball sanctuary called Hollywood. To be sure, an actor or actress has as much right to an opinion on public issues as anybody else, and there is no natural law that says their opinions aren't worth listening to. (One lifelong actor, after all, became an eminently successful president of the United States.) But why anybody should feel obliged to listen to, let alone value, the political opinions of Barbra Streisand, George Clooney or Sean Penn simply beggars the imagination.

Their sole qualification is that they are celebrities – famous as entertainers. Most Hollywood "stars" got there simply by having looks that register well on camera. Unlike actors on the stage, they don't even necessarily have to know how to act – able directors, using short takes and enough repeats, can sooner or later get what they want out of them. A good many have made their way upward via the casting couch. And it's a safe bet that there are plenty of vivacious starlets who would be hard put to come up with a high school diploma.

We see that all the time in the field - especially medicine.

I was an ER Vet tech for years and we'd get in some very pompous (so called - doctors) owners that would demand to be in ICU during every procedure. They would yell "BUT... you don't understand.. I AM A DOCTOR" Usually the vet would ask "Yeah... what is your area of expertise".

LOL... the usual stammer "Well... ummm... I have a PhD in English Literature". LMAO..... oh yeah and we'd get the so called "drs" of psychiatry that would pass out when they saw blood or the PhD engineers LMAO.. .it was a riot.

Gee, I wonder where those civilian airplanes are now...the one's which didn't hit the WTC and Pentagon. Wonder too where all those people who were supposed to be on those planes went.

I calculate there must be something on the order of 50,000 people who would have to be in on the Bush conspiracy to attack America. That's not counting Canadian military personnel at Norad...or the Canadian government.

All those people on numerous air bases and their families. All those air traffic controllers..and their families. People at the CIA, NSA, DIA, Pentagon and who knows what other alphabet agencies. All those people at the airlines. All those people who didn't die at the WTC, the Pentagon or that field in Pennsylvania....and their families.

Amazing that not one of them is patriotic enough or honest enough to come forward and expose the conspiracy...don't you think, Rainbow?

Former Hollywood bad boy Sean Penn is the latest celebrity to join the protest

It is a cold Baghdad winter morning and a small group of earnest American peace activists are gathered under a canvas tent at an Iraqi government water treatment plant. The al-Wafba factory was bombed during the Gulf war in 1991 destroying the city's sanitation systems, they explain. To bomb it again in a new conflict with Iraq would be a war crime

He was taken round a children's hospital and spent several hours talking to doctors about how 12 years of UN sanctions have wiped out their supplies of medicines and equipment. He met officials from Unicef who, in a ground-breaking report in 1999, said the sanctions had caused the deaths of 500,000 Iraqi children. He toured several schools which Unicef is helping to rebuild and he saw others that have yet to be helped. Most are badly run down, an appalling state for a country which before the Gulf war was enjoying $14bn in annual revenue from oil alone.

by Paul Watson and Alex Jones - March 24, 2006

Despite the best efforts of the now whimpering attack poodles of the mainstream media, an online CNN poll shows that over four-fifths, or 82 per cent, agree with actor Charlie Sheen that the U.S. government covered up the real events of the 9/11 attacks.

Every establishment media mouthpiece aside from CNN tried to hang Sheen on his own words but it simply didn't work because those same questions are firing the synapses in the heads of millions upon millions of other taxpaying American citizens.

We are now in the majority and the cynics are beginning to feel the breeze of fear as they desperately cling to ignorant dogmas spoon fed to them by an empire in descent, while in the back of their mind and in their soul knowing that they have sided with the wrong team and the wrong side of history.

As of Friday morning you can still vote in the poll and I encourage you to do so by clicking here http://www.cnn.com/CNN/Programs/showbiz.tonight/ A.J. Hammer and CNN Showbiz Tonight need to be given their due as the only mainstream television news show to give balanced coverage of serious 9/11 questions.

This is a watershed moment in the struggle to create a powerful, educated and active contingent of individuals with no hierarchical structure but with a unified cause.

Charlie Sheen is the forerunner of the third wave of 9/11 skeptics to go public.

The first wave was concerned and informed American and worldwide citizens who educated themselves and formed action groups and organizations to inform others.

The second wave was former government officials and people of high office risking their political reputation to voice their doubts on 9/11, people like Paul Craig Roberts, Professor Steven Jones, Michael Meacher and Andreas von Buelow.

The third wave is high profile individuals who already have a substantial media platform from which to speak the truth, Hollywood stars and cultural icons. Charlie Sheen must be commended for risking his entire career for the sake of the truth and the future of America.

The fourth and final wave will be people who were in government at the time of 9/11 or those employed by the Bush administration at the time of 9/11, such as secret service officials and others close to the administration, going public with what they know. By this I don't mean watered down shills like Richard Clarke but individuals with hardcore information that could be the catalyst for impeachment.

At that point the call for a new independent investigation of 9/11 will be deafening and impossible to ignore any further.

Our efforts in stalling these control freaks is really beginning to pay dividends. Our patience for freedom will outlast their lust for power and the human spirit will triumph over evil.
