Жыл бұрын

In the 1960s, for the United States, the greatest threat was just 90 miles south of Florida, Cuba and the communist dictatorship established by Fidel Castro and his proxy Che Guevara. Che Guevara was a scholar, philosopher, writer, teacher, healer, revolutionary, mass murderer, psychopath. So who was the real Che Guevara? Hosted by Colin D. Heaton. The Forgotten History Channel is a 10th Legion Pictures Production.

As a native Hispanic, who was taught about Che Guevara's history, I have always been shocked to see people here in the US idolize him! But then, we need to remember the extremely failed public education system here in the US, compounded by what the media shows the general population.

Che wrote in a letter to his father how his firing squad would not adhere to his order to shoot an 11 year old boy, so he did it himself, shot him in the neck and almost decapitated the child. He wrote to his father that he was beginning to get a taste for it. Put that on a shirt.

Honestly I think it had much to do with his looks and charm. His face on shirts still sell millions bc it appeals to the counter culture. I mean you see no other communist leader revered like that. I mean there’s no shirts or posters in the West of Lenin, Stalin, or any Soviet leader. Even Castro himself never had the appeal that Che does. His good looks and charm make him palatable to those who just see him as nothing but a revolutionary. The obsession with Che is all very surface level. It’s been proven people are more likely to trust an attractive face over an ugly one. It’s also why attractive people are more likely to get an easy sentence or slap on the wrist whereas ugly criminals are more likely to get a harsh sentence. Attractive bias is real. I mean the Bible always said Lucifer was God’s most beautiful angel.

Part of Che's hatred of America was formed at the end of his famous motorcycle trip, when he went to work for the Venezuelan national polo team, which agreed to pay his way back to Argentina if he worked for them as a groom during their trip to Miami. While there, he was impressed by the extravagant lifestyle of the polo crowd, while he barely had enough money to feed himself. Basically, it boiled down to simple jealousy.

Is it really jealousy or is it simple human nature? Many of the current mega wealthy are so tight with their money that they will never spend more than a fraction of it. What is the benefit of having that much money and not doing something vaguely good with it? If a multi billionaire paid his workers twice what he does now he would hardly notice it in real terms but his workers would have much more money to spend and that would effectively help make the rich even richer.

@@fgoindarkg Justice? Was Che acting with "justice" when he forced his grandmother's servant girl to have sex with him? Yeah, he'd get up from the table, shove her into the kitchen, bang her, and go back to the table. Of course, if Grammy wasn't there, he'd bang her right at the table, even when he brought friends over. "Oh, but he hadn't achieved Revolutionary Consciousness yet!" you would argue. Fine. Was he acting with justice when he stepped in and blew Eutimio Guerra's head off? You see, after Fidel, Che, & their buddies crashed the Granma (Fidel's boat) and began their "invasion", they hired a poor local farm kid to be their guide. Batista's army got ahold of young Eutimio and coerced him into giving up the rebels' position. When Fidel found out, he ordered Eutimio's execution. The other rebels thought that was too harsh a sentence, and the two men who were assigned to do the job balked. That was when Che, who had mostly been just a hanger-on up to that point, stepped in and shot the kid. That impressed Fidel, which was why he made Che a commander. "Oh, but it was a war! It was for the greater good!" you will no doubt whine. How about this: When Che was commander of La Cabana prison, he ordered the executions of thousands of so-called Batista supporters. The problem was that Batista's supporters had almost all fled the country. Che killed innocent people just to intimidate the public so that they wouldn't resist the new Castro regime. Was Che acting with justice when he forced people to "volunteer" for unpaid work cutting sugar cane, load ships, etc.? Was he acting with justice when he ducked out on 2 wives, at least 6 children, and who knows how many mistresses, just so that he could run around playing revolutionary? You have been brainwashed by the Castro regime's propaganda. And that makes you extremely uncool. Hey, if you're looking for some fun summer reading, check out Che's African diaries. After the Castro brothers got tired of him, they set him up as roving revolutionary in the Congo. His diary tells how poor, utterly clueless Che stumbled around Africa, getting his ass kicked the whole time. It's absolutely hilarious!

What I found interesting is that this video glossed over the fact that the United Fruit Company refused to pay taxes on the land that Arbenz gave back to his people. They claimed the land was unusable for crops so that was part of the reason why the Guatemalan government nationalized it and distributed back to their people. Imagine if some foreign country like China had a stronghold on American land, claimed it was useless but still made money off of it, what would we do?

Among his theories regarding revolution was the reasons didn't have to exist, the revolutionaries could create them. I think it was based on this reasoning that as soon as the revolutionaries started the government in question would start oppressing the people and the people would turn to the revolutionaries. It didn't work out that way. Case in point the locals in Bolivia helped direct the government soldiers against Guevara. Also the Tupamaros of Uruguay tried a similar revolution with the theory that they could start a revolution and people would follow them also backfired. What happened was the military took over what was supposed to be moderate democracy and turned it into a military dictatorship. While his manual on guerrilla warfare is interesting, the theories put forth clearly don't work. I also get a kick out of the fact he lost to mercenary commander Mad Mike Hoare while leading troops in the Congo.

Nice video. I take issue, though, with your assertion that United Fruit Company was some benevalent entity who gave jobs to locals. There is a lot more to this. Part of it had to due to rampant corruption and manipulation by UFC. Part of it had to do with American interference in order to keep things at the status-quo so the money could still be made. This included an engineered overthrow of the government "justified" by saying the existing government was a "communist" threat. I don't call a country offering money to UFC to buy back their land (at the value UFC claimed it was worth) "communism". Then there was the subsequent military dictatorship which tortured, jailed, and/or killed a few hundred thousand people. And to show how woven corruption is with stuff like this, note that George HW Bush's old company (he cofounded Zapata Oil, a CIA connected company) bought UFC (also CIA connected) in the late 1960s. Bush went on to be CIA director and, eventually, US president. And, I believe, in 1981 (when Bush was VP), the SEC filings for Zapata from 1960-1966 were somehow "lost". You cannot make this stuff up.

“Although accounts vary, it is estimated that several hundred people were executed nationwide during this time, with Guevara's jurisdictional death total at La Cabaña ranging from 55 to 105.”(National Archives) Don’t know where you came up with 20,000. Writing in the Washington Post in 1997, documentary filmmaker Saul Landau described Guevara as a “tough disciplinarian who impassively dispatched traitors [but] also refused to let enemy wounded go untreated” - a man who built hospitals and schoolrooms, whose “love for the unknown masses” drove him to entirely sacrifice his own physical comfort in pursuit of a more just society. French philosopher Jean-Paul Sartre praised the guerrilla leader as “not only an intellectual, but also the most complete human being of our age”.

Pol Pot was a genuine crockpot psychopath that would have never taken power had not the dynamic duo, Nixon/Kissinger, not depose the peaceful prince Norodom Sihanouk. And thank god it a North Vietnamese Army blitzkrieg that got rid of him.

Thank you for this exposition on the real Che . Years back I was educated on the real Che by a good friend who was much older than me. He has been quoted repeatedly on his hatred of Mexicans and African Americans. My friends family fled Cuba when Castro and Che were taking land from everyone including the indigenous and low income. They’re indigenous and lived in the mountains, and supposedly the communists attacked only the wealthy. I also have a good friend in Bolivia who wrote a small book titled “Che, assassin of the Aymara People” Where he exposes Che using indigenous people for his civil war exploits and even murdering many of them. I’ll admit I was taken by the propaganda film the motorcycle diaries back in 2003. It’s insane how trendy the shirts and bags with his face were for some time.

You are either a serial liar or an idiot. Out of charity, I should describe you as an idiot. You did not even know that Guevara's first wife was a Peruvian economist since you confound Hilda Gadea with Hilda Beatriz Guevara. I nearly choked when you praised United Fruit Company for its generosity in providing employment (ie slavery) to people who would otherwise have been unemployed. Having an American claim to provide the "TRUTH about Che Guevara" is like asking a member of the German Nazi party to provide the "TRUTH" about Adolf Hitler". Since you insist on slandering Che Guevara as a mass murderer, may I point out that even if a mere fraction of this were true, it would be insignificant compared to the mass killings carried out by your presidents, former and present ones. Yes, for you, the killings carried out by your presidents can be justified as bringing democracy to the countries concerned, conveniently neglecting to mention the political and, above all, the economic and financial benefits of their killings. By the way, Guevara, a prisoner who had surrendered, was executed on the orders of the US Government who never miss an opportunity to express, albeit wth moral justification, the execution of US citizens in captivity or who, in military uniforms, surrendered. Mr IDIOT, do humanity a favour and kindly keep your lies and/or ignorance to yourself.

He became disillusioned with the communists, escaped to Florida, and had a great 40-year career with Disney. Our discussion did not touch on Guevara, but the man told me that his dad had a highly successful mango orchard of 600 trees. The communists bulldozed the whole thing, completely destroying it.

This is a great video. But the problem is verification. This is one account. There are other opposing accounts. Whether we like him or dislike him, we need to find the truth first. Perhaps the truth about Che Guevarra is more complex. I'm always skeptical of any account, because it's hard to know whom to believe. I think we need to be skeptical and believe only conditionally until better or more accurate information comes forth, if that is even possible. There may be much truths in many accounts as well as falsehoods. Again, it's important to remember that it's hard to verify any one account.
