The man who killed Ernesto Guevara
October 9th, 1967, the man who killed Ernesto Guevara created, unwittingly, a myth. In two blasts. The CIA planned it, Barrientos commanded it, Félix Rodriguez supervised it and Mario Terán executed it. Quick, easy and effective: the Revolution, in one fell swoop, had lost a fighter and gained a martyr.
La Higuera, October 9th, 1967, 1:10 pm: Mario Terán Salazar, Bolivian Army sergeant, followed the instructions of Félix Ismael Rodríguez Mendigutía, anti-Castroist and former CIA officer, who had been ordered by René Barrientos, Bolivia's president at the time, and, with two blasts from a machinegun, put an end to the life of guerrilla leader Ernesto Guevara, "Che", who had been wounded and captured the day before, following a combat in the Quebrada del Yuro ravine, at the side of his guerrilla.
The living myth had become a martyr of the Revolution that he loved, had dedicated his entire life to and died for.

The book titled "Boring Home", by Orlando Luis Pardo Lazo, was not allowed at this years Havana's Book fair.
In a gesture of defiance, it's author and his friends dedicated the book anyway. Yesterday February 16, 2009 in front of "La Cabaña", the site of hundreds of deaths by order of Che Guevara - the man known to freedom loving Cuban as "The Butcher".
The author dedicated the book to his mother who suffered the cruel treatment of Castro's secret police. The book is not yet translated into English, but this is nothing google translator can't fix, if you really want to read it. The book has been published on the internet.

Ernesto Che Guevara, the Butcher of the Cabaña is a celebrity to the Hollywood elite. While in charge of this hell of a prison, 400 men were executed,in the first three month he oversaw it, their crime, to have the audacity to think different then he did.
Che's hero was China's Mao, who killed 20 million of his countryman.
All together the victims of communism total approximately 60.3 million, but it would appear, that the victims of communism are insignificant to them. The people Che would have imprisoned and killed, think he is a hero. They truly are the useful idiots Vladimir Lenin dreamed about.
I'm guessing, I have probably died and gone to hell!!!

Two of Ernesto "Che" Guevara's children said Thursday they were tired of seeing their father's image used to sell everything from T-shirts to vodka, calling the growth of the revolutionary as a global super-brand "embarrassing."
Aleida Guevara, the eldest of Guevara's four children by his second wife, Cuban revolutionary Aleida March, said the commercialization of her father's image contributed to tension between rich and poor in some countries.
"Something that bothers me now is the appropriation of the figure of Che that has been used to make enemies from different classes. It's embarrassing," she wrote during an Internet forum sponsored by Cuba's government ahead of what would have been her father's 80th birthday on June 14.
Aleida Guevara was asked about the use of her father's image to sell British vodka and French soft drinks. She decried those campaigns as well one in Switzerland that uses his likeness to peddle cell phones.
"We don't want money, we demand respect," wrote Guevara, who is a trained physician like her father.

Rumor has it that Soderbergh has all but locked the second of the two films (Guerrilla), but The Argentine is nowhere near the 50% mark. He's locking himself away in an effort to get a cut locked in time to screen at Cannes this year.
The Argentine is the first of the two films and focuses on the struggles and successes Guevera faced during the Cuban revolution. The pressure is on, largely because Soderbergh views these films as a one-two punch -- some even say that they could screen back-to-back with an intermission between them. If this is the case, Guerrilla relies heavily upon the completion of The Argentine. Not only because said film precedes it chronologically, but also because The Argentine provides the excitement and gusto needed to propel audiences through the downfall Che faced during his struggles in Bolivia -- the bulk of the subject matter in Guerrilla.
So, if Soderbergh succeeds and both films screen at Cannes, how would you prefer they eventually get released? Staggered by months, or as a grand epic a la Lawrence of Arabia?Rumor has it that Soderbergh has all but locked the second of the two films... more
