The YAF Celebrates ‘No More Che Day’ on Campuses Nationwide

che“From the first moment I heard about Che, Ernesto Guevara,” gushes Columbia University’s SDS (Student’s for a Democratic Society) leader in 1968 Mark Rudd, “he was my man, or, rather, I was his. Brilliant, young, idealistic, a daring commander of rebels, willing to risk his life to free the people of the world, I wanted to be like him. I was a member of the cult of Che.  Who wouldn’t fall for this rifle-toting poet … ?”

Columbia University College Republicans, for one. The Young America’s Foundation (YAF) for another. Indeed such is these organizations’ penchant for blowing raspberries and horse-laughs at the staggering imbecilities swallowed (and spouted) by gasping groupies like Mark Rudd that they’re a staging a “No More Che Day” at Mark Rudd’s own Columbia University on Oct. 9th.

Worse still (for such as Rudd and fellow Che groupies), this event features a speaker who — you might say — “wrote the book” on exposing the real Che Guevara and the staggering stupidity (or other mental malfunctions) that motivate those who idolize this amazing sadist, coward and epic idiot.

For starters, most of Che’s “rifle-toting” was done in the face of utterly unarmed enemies. “When you saw the beaming look on Che’s face as the victims were tied to the stake and blasted apart by the firing squad,” said a former Cuban political prisoner Roberto Martin-Perez to your humble servant here, “you saw there was something seriously, seriously wrong with Che Guevara.”

Even as a youth, Ernesto Guevara’s writings revealed a serious mental illness. “My nostrils dilate while savoring the acrid odor of gunpowder and blood. Crazy with fury I will stain my rifle red while slaughtering any vencido that falls in my hands!” This passage is from Ernesto Guevara’s famous Motorcycle Diaries, though Robert Redford somehow overlooked it while directing his heart-warming movie.

The Spanish word vencido, by the way, translates into “defeated” or “surrendered.” And indeed, “the “acrid odor of gunpowder and blood” very, very rarely reached Guevara’s nostrils from anything properly describable as combat. It mostly came from the close-range murders of defenseless men (and boys). Carlos Machado was 15 years old in 1963 when the bullets from the firing squad shattered his body. His twin brother and father collapsed beside Carlos from the same volley. All had resisted Castro and Che’s theft of their humble family farm, all refused blindfolds and all died sneering at their Communist murderers, as did thousands of their valiant countrymen. “Viva Cuba Libre! Viva Cristo Rey! Abajo Comunismo!” “The defiant yells would make the walls of La Cabana prison tremble,” wrote eyewitness to the slaughter, Armando Valladares.

The one genuine accomplishment in Che Guevara’s life was the mass-murder of defenseless men and boys. Under his own gun dozens died. Under his orders thousands crumpled. At everything else Che Guevara failed abysmally, even comically.

During his Bolivian “guerrilla” campaign, Che split his forces whereupon they got hopelessly lost and bumbled around, half-starved, half-clothed and half-shod, without any contact with each other for 6 months before being wiped out. They didn’t even have WWII vintage walkie-talkies to communicate and seemed incapable of applying a compass reading to a map. They spent much of the time walking in circles and were usually within a mile of each other. During this blundering they often engaged in ferocious firefights against each other!

“You hate to laugh at anything associated with Che, who murdered so many defenseless men and boys,” says Felix Rodriguez, the Cuban-American CIA officer who played a key role in tracking him down in Bolivia. “But when it comes to Che as “guerrilla” you simply can’t help but guffaw.”

Che’s genocidal fantasies included a continental reign of Stalinism. And to achieve this ideal he craved, “millions of atomic victims” — most of them Americans. “The U.S. is the great enemy of mankind!” raved Ernesto Che Guevara in 1961. “Against those hyenas there is no option but extermination. We will bring the war to the imperialist enemies’ very home, to his places of work and recreation. The imperialist enemy must feel like a hunted animal wherever he moves. Thus we’ll destroy him! We must keep our hatred against them [the U.S.] alive and fan it to paroxysms!”

This was Che’s prescription for America almost half a century before Osama bin Laden and ISIS appeared on our radar screens. Compared to Che Guevara, Iran’s Ahmadinejad sounds like the Dalai Lama.

So for many, the question remains: how did such an incurable doofus, sadist and epic idiot attain such iconic status?

The answer is that this psychotic and thoroughly unimposing vagrant named Ernesto Guevara de la Serna y Lynch had the magnificent fortune of linking up with modern history’s top press agent, Fidel Castro, who — from the New York Times’ Herbert Matthews in 1957, through CBS’ Ed Murrow in 1959 to CBS’ Dan Rather, to ABC’s Barbara Walters, to most recently, the Atlantic’s Jeffrey Goldberg — always had American reporters anxiously scurrying to his every beck and call and eating out of his hand like trained pigeons.

Had Ernesto Guevara not linked up with Raul and Fidel Castro in Mexico city that fateful summer of 1955 — had he not linked up with a Cuban exile named Nico Lopez in Guatemala the year before who later introduced him to Raul and Fidel Castro in Mexico City — everything points to Ernesto continuing his life of a traveling hobo, panhandling, mooching off women, staying in flophouses and scribbling unreadable poetry.

Che’s image is particularly ubiquitous on college campuses. But in the wrong places. He belongs in the marketing, PR and advertising departments. His lessons and history are fascinating and valuable, but only in light of P.T. Barnum. One born every minute, Mr. Barnum? If only you’d lived to see the Che phenomenon. Actually, ten are born every second.

His pathetic whimpering while dropping his fully-loaded weapons as two Bolivian soldiers approached him on Oct. 8 1967 (“Don’t shoot! I’m Che! I’m worth more to you alive than dead!”) proves that this cowardly, murdering swine was unfit to carry his victims’ slop buckets.

    If you’re prepared to sell Che Guevara tee shirts, you might as well sell mugshotis of Oskar Dirlewanger – the most evil man in the SS.

    Excellent…may the commies not yet fully indoctrinated, READ THIS !!!

  • Gee

    Just like the ISIS prisoners begging for mercy. They are all cowards and can only fight the defenseless.

  • Pete

    I am all for this.

    I am for collecting quotes of Mao by other communists or by Mao himself and publishing them in web forums or as a quote of the day along with agricultural and death statistics.

    There are still minds full of Mush who think he is great.

    The Shining Path guerillas, who terrorized Peru in the 1990s were based on Maoist thought.

    We should do the same with Che and put a take through the heart of this evil.

    • UCSPanther

      The Khmer Rouge, the butchers of Cambodia were also Maoists as well.

      Historically, I have noticed that Maoists tend to be the most destructive of all the communists…

      • johnnywood

        Communism, like Islam is a religion for evil beast and idiots.

  • Pete

    Does anyone know the quote where Che said”

    ( Paraphrase) “It does not matter how many people we kill, we can always grow more”

  • Pete

    “The black is indolent and a dreamer; ,spending his meager wage on frivolity or drink” – Che Guevara

  • Pete

    “The blacks, those magnificent examples of the African race who have maintained their racial purity thanks to their lack of an affinity with bathing”

    - Che Guevara

    Thank you Mr. Fontova. I read your book. It is very important and necessary to expose this monster as he was, a racist, genocidal maniac. The Communist have surely profited from his image over time, an it has also served them well in their indoctrination of our students.

    There is a leftist motto, “We will be like Che!” I hope a great many of them end up like Che.

  • Frederikahere

    When I see these idiots I wonder if they have a T shirt of Hitler or Stalin too.

  • watsa46

    Yet the American left would favorably see a return to neo-communism (+Islamism). Their enemy is the non-left.

  • Tim N

    Many years ago I used to go target shooting a lot and got to know the rangemaster and all fairly well. One day I brought along a Quaddafi target and asked if they minded if I shot at it. They just chuckled and told me to go ahead. After a while I saw they were selling the targets themselves.
    I think we should do the same to some Che targets. I’d love to post one.

    • Tim N

      It also occurred to me after returning from walking my dog that perhaps we could make Che doggie bags (not the kind you use at a restaurant).
      Now there I’d positively enjoy seeing old Che’s mug.

      • johnnywood

        Don`t forget Che toilet paper.

  • Atikva

    Apparently not by the military, but by former concentration camps prisoners.

    • johnnywood

      Even better.

  • Atikva

    bin laden too died a coward’s death, probably under the same (induced?) illusion that to the American people, he was worth more alive than dead.

  • teriobrien

    Another brilliant piece from my friend Humberto! Thanks, mi amigo, for your tireless pursuit of the truth.

  • AbsolutelyRight

    This is great news…there may be hope yet for the next generation.

    That no-good leftist a-hole Robert Redford should have to watch reenactments of all of Che’s psychopathic murders
