Che Guevara Captured In Baghdad Raid

User avatar

A report released by the Pentagon confirms rumors that popular international terrorist Ernesto Guevara, better known under the nickname "Che" has been captured in a safe house south of Baghdad, during a routine raid operation conducted jointly by the new Iraqi police and the US Marines.

ImageThe coolest dudes to hit the disco scene of Baquba. "Hey baby, is your dad a terrorist? Cuz you're da roadside bomb!"

His identity was immediately established by comparing his face to one of the Che Guevara T-shirts that lay scattered around the safe house.

Image
Members of the al-Qaeda-linked terrorist group captured along with Che referred to him as the Hairy One but said he insisted that they call him al-Commandante and claimed that he was working to replace the lateAbu Musab al-Zarqawi and even designed aZarqawi T-shirt modeled after his own brand.

The other names the fellow cell members called him were The Smell of Mesopotamia (owing to his hygiene habits, poor even by al-Qaeda standards) and The Dumb Bunny because he couldn't speak Arabic and expected Iraq to adopt Spanish as a second language.

Image
Members of the group, all foreigners from neighboring Arab countries, shrugged at al-Commandante's plans to spread the rebellion by plastering his visage on shirts, long male gowns, and even female burqas.

But they praised the man's bloodlust and the unmatched ability to hide behind the backs of women, to fire at soldiers from inside the crowd of children, and to torture unarmed prisoners in a manner that even seasoned al-Qaeda fighters found disturbing.

A search of the safe house revealed a makeshift factory for building explosive devices on the top floor, and a silk screen press in the basement, where thousands of freshly made Che Guevara shirts lay sorted by style, color, and sizes.

The Iraqi police piled both the shirts and the explosives into one large heap in front of the house and detonated it all from a safe distance, sending hundreds of shirts flying into the air like a flock of large multi-colored vultures.

Some of the charred Che Guevara shirts have reportedly made their way to eBay and were sold to rich college kids in the US who pay outrageous sums of money for a chance to look like a mysterious rebel who murders parents to save the children.

A footnote:

Did you know that in the spirit of the new Islamist-Marxist alliance al-Qaeda has released its own version of Che Guevara's biography called "The Motorcycle Diaries Arab Style"?

The Motorcycle Diaries
(a 2004 biographical film)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Motor ... ies_(film)

It tells the story of a journey by motorcycle across South America in 1952 by young Ernesto "Che" Guevara and his friend Alberto Granado. Guevara later became the famous Marxist revolutionary better known as Che Guevara, and the film depicts the gradual development of his political outlook, but his revolutionary exploits are not mentioned except in a caption at the end.

I WOULD have called this a victory for capitalism, but now those darn shirts have made it on EBay then onto the backs of America's uneducated young! Why do they have to blow everything up in the military now a days, they should of done what we used to do in the 60s to the hippies, and bring out the flamethrower on those 100% cotton T-shirts.

But I guess Che's capture makes for the greater profit. I hope Boss Halliburton is pleased about this surprising capture, and finds extreme humor in those non-capitalist's motorcycle folly.

This only goes to show that if you where in the elite capitalist class you would know how to ride a motorcycle (and maybe get a motorcycle? I should take that up with the boss).

This past summer I rode a motorcycle across North America and kept a diary of my 7,766-mile travels. Unfortunately, because I didn't murder anybody and owing to the fact that the only wealth that I redistributed was my own, I was dubbed the "Anti-Che" by the comrades back home. And I think a sasquatch peed on my bike one night at a motel in southern Oregon.

Just yesterday I saw a youth sporting a Che shirt. Little did we know that the uneducated, rampaging, torturing, war criminal American troops (btw, I support the troops) would take our hero into custody.

Comrade Red, is there a way you could put a larger picture of the pic titled "El Comandante Abu" in the People's Graphics section? The useful idiots in college can post it in their dorms in memory of the heroic freedom fighter who liberated the souls of many from the oppression that was their lives.

News from Down Under: Australian troops in Iraq capture infamous Australian revolutionary Ned Kelly

Ned Kelly, famous and much-loved murderous folk hero thought to have been executed by the Bush-HoWARd coalition of the willing in 1880, turned up in a foxhole in Baghdad last week. Whilst his iron clad face hasn't been widely marketed on T-shirts throughout Australian Universities as expected, his famous last words "Such is life" is certainly a darling amongst cliches in Australian pop culture.

Comrade Betinov,
The next time you ride, plan the trip more carefully. It would be a shame to miss out on the opportunities for furthering the cause of the People. Always remember, when you engage in wanton destruction with revolutionary potential--just like our great leader Abu Che--you must declare for whom and for what you are doing it. For instance, flying an airliner into a crowded office building. Do it because you seek revenge against your former employer, then you are considered a nut case. Do it for the oppressed of the world, and you are a hero. Torch a few cars on the street and randomly smash shop windows with bricks. Do it because your team won the Super Bowl, and the Party will disown you. Do it because the corporations are racist, and you will be interviewed in the New York Times.

Meh, the capitalist-imperialist-fascist have nothing but a cloned decoy. The Party used the COBRA Serpantor® method by combining some of comrade Che's DNA with some taken from Khalid Sheik Mohammed. Quite frankly, the results sucked and we ended up with a whiney, fake "tough guy" who hated himself. His handlers let him get captured because he was a big pain in the butt. I guess the Bushistas can have their little moment of glory before Newsweek, NYT and Olberman all spend weeks pounding them by running stories about how unimportant Khalid Che was in the whole grand scheme of things.

Comrades, is anyone but me bothered by this reference to our dear departed 'Che' as a terrorist? remember, one man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter. After all, he did it for the children TM. Our glorious comrade was an honorable and shining example of socialist revolutionary bloodlust oops, I mean Love. That's it. Love. And compassion. And all things sweet bright and good. Because only us socialist revolutionaries are the truly enlightened beings. Truly enlightened compassionate revolutionaries HAVE to shoot people in the head and confiscate property from others to redistribute. It is our duty, nay, our divine right and mission for the liberation of the world from "Bushoise" kapitalism. I am saddened by this destructive and heinous display of hatred directed at the enlightend, angelic 'Che'. It does not bode well for the future of socialism, I fear.

<<Character off>> How was that? Sound moonbatty enough? I know that they're going to blame it on the wrong people, and I'll bet dollars to donuts that it was one of thier own that did it.

Nah... the word "terrorist" is just a Bushist neo-KKKon slander against legitimate freedom fighters working for the interest of The People. Progressives have taken the word back from the enemy and now, being called a terrorist, terrorist enabler or sympathizer is a badge of honor in Progressive circles.

If a mindless wingnut drone calls you or someone you admire a terrorist, just remember that they are admitting to being terrorized by superior, Progressive ideology.

The picture of the broken glass monument could be part of the commercial - "They didn't use the glass from U.S. Windows Factory - and now they're sorry. Our glass is so strong it's practically indestructible! In addition, our new construction and replacement windows provide excellent thermal properties and superior sound absorbancy."

So Cyrano grows wine <i>just for Fidel</i> in one of his vineyards.

Hair of Revolutionary Icon Che to Be Auctioned Thursday

By PAUL J. WEBER
Associated Press Writer

DALLAS -- Anyone can get a trendy "Che" T-shirt for a few bucks, but an actual piece of the revolutionary figure is likely to cost a bit more at an auction starting Thursday.

Bidding starts at $100,000 for a 3-inch lock of hair from Ernesto "Che" Guevara, the dogmatic Marxist whose iconic picture has gradually become a popular, even sometimes fashionable commodity since the Argentinian was killed in a Bolivian jungle in 1967.

Heritage Auction Galleries is putting the hair, allegedly snipped off Guevara before burial, up for sale despite alleged threats made against the company by Guevara admirers since the auction was announced in September.

The Dallas-based auction house said it will have extra security on hand for the bidding after monitoring "leftist bloggers" upset that the company is profiting from Guevara's death.

"(Che) is kind of revered and hated," Heritage spokeswoman Kelley Norwine said. "It's at both ends of the spectrum. This has been one of the most ranging of emotions ... it's crazy."

More than 30 prospective bidders are registered on the Web site of Heritage to monitor the bidding, in addition to the many expected to pack the gallery room Thursday.

Norwine also confirmed that someone in Venezuela -- where President Hugo Chavez venerates Guevara as a model socialist -- requested that a catalog of Thursday's items be delivered overnight.

Norwine said she couldn't reveal who in Venezuela asked for the catalog but insisted she wasn't "trying to be coy."

The hair was consigned by Gustavo Villoldo, a fomer CIA operative and Cuban exile who was involved in Guevara's capture, according to unclassified U.S. records and other documents.

Villoldo did not want Guevara's body to be returned to Cuba where it would receive a hero's funeral, according to Heritage, so he supervised the body being buried in a common grave where a runway was being built.

"I wanted proof," Villoldo said of taking the hair, "that I had completed my mission."

Norwine said the hair hasn't been forensically matched to Guevara because of fears of test tampering. But the auction house is confident in the item's authenticity, she said.

The Cuban government announced in 1995 that its anthropologists had uncovered Guevara's remains from Bolivia, and re-interred them in Cuba without doing DNA testing. Villoldo and other exiles and experts say the body is still in Bolivia.

Considering the source (NYT), a eulogy is understandable. We must remember that the NYT, in the person of reporter Herbert Matthews, was at the forefront of supporting Castro and the Cuban Revolution.


Of course, in the grand Party tradition, the useful idiot always gets purged. Once it was no longer possible to deny Castro's true motives, Matthews was hung out to dry.

That story always brings a little grin to this commissar's face.

Ah, yes. The Spectator. I am familiar, comrade, with Dalrymple, Pryce-Jones, Bernard Lewis, Victor Hanson and these other counter revolutionist nutjobs who seek to perpetuate the erroneous belief that Western culture involves freedom and equality. Yes, yes I know that all animals are equal, but some, remember, are more equal than others.

Lock of Che Guevara's hair sells for $100,000
Houston bookstore owner wins 3-inch tress from revolutionary icon
https://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/21476982/?gt1=10450

DALLAS - A hair lock snipped from Ernesto “Che” Guevara before his burial in 1967 sold for $100,000 at auction Thursday to a Houston-area bookstore owner who called the Marxist “one of the greatest revolutionaries of the 20th century.”

Bill Butler, 61, won the 3-inch tress clipped from Guevara's mane after placing the only bid, which matched the reserve price.

Butler, who bid over the phone, said he was a collector of 1960s items and that the hair lock would fit in well.

“A lot of his writings are still worth reading today,” said Butler, whose comments were relayed by a Heritage employee who spoke to him on the phone immediately after the auction.

Butler said he plans to ultimately display the hair at his Butler & Sons Books in Rosenberg, located just outside Houston. He said he didn't know how high he was prepared to bid.

Extra security hired
Earlier, the auction house had confirmed that someone in Venezuela, where President Hugo Chavez venerates Guevara as a model socialist, had requested a rush delivery of a catalog. Heritage spokeswoman Kelley Norwine would not say who in Venezuela requested the catalog or where it was shipped.

The Dallas-based auction house had hired extra security as a precaution against protesters, who Heritage thought might attend after alleged threats made against the company. Norwine said the company had been monitoring “leftist bloggers” upset that the company was profiting from Guevara's death.

Tom Slater, a director at Heritage, said the buyer had previously purchased other “very high-profile, exciting” items from the auction house.

Slater said he wasn't surprised only one bidder emerged, adding that would-be buyers may have been torn about whether purchasing the hair of the Argentinian was “the right thing to do.”

“There was so much controversy surrounding the lot I think it may have given some people pause,” Slater said. “There was no comfort zone.”

Officials confident in authenticity
The hair was consigned by Gustavo Villoldo, a former CIA operative and Cuban exile who was involved in Guevara's capture, according to unclassified U.S. records and other documents.

According to Heritage, Villoldo did not want Guevara's body to be returned to Cuba, where it would receive a hero's funeral, so he supervised the burial in a common grave where a runway was being built.

“I wanted proof,” Villoldo said of taking the hair, “that I had completed my mission.”

OK, I'm straying off topic here, but I clicked on that Visionary Dance link and am still going "WTF?" But I'll bet Pupovich could see all this quite clearly after eating some of his "bullshrooms":

The idea is this: Can you see the Earth dancing in the heavens? Our living dancing bodies are metaphors for the living dancing body of the Earth. What we put out there on the Earth is what the Earth is made to wear as her dance attire. Can we transform our waste products into jewels of consciously designed adornments for her to freely dance in? By this act of creative contemplation we become mindful of the Earth's sacred garments. Our bodies are the ground on which to exercise our consciousness. What should be the criteria from which to judge? The adornments should be energy efficient, spirited, recycled and beautiful !


Do I read the above right? That essentially the garbage we create is Mother Earth's prom gown? And what in the name of Al Gore do they mean by "energy efficient" adornments?

Victoria's Secret links up with Waste Management to become the hottest couple on Dancing with the Stars for a Planet in Peril.

Like a mosaic of armor, hammered bottle caps adorn a bra and belt. A veil of pale pink bubble wrap surrounds and protects her as a body drape. Bright yellow tissuey merchant bags agreed to be her skirt and head scarf. She danced with her veil, popping the bubbles with her fingers. They hissed and snapped with the music, proclaiming her inner gypsy fire!

Popping bubble wrap is sexy? Is that why guys fight over who gets to pop those little things?

That site is too funny, Sea-Bass. I'll have to ask some of my old Wal-Mart bags if they'll agree to be my headscarf.

Awesome! Thanks, Comrade Pinkie, for doing all my research for me. I think I'll go for a drive and toss some garbage out the window to make a necklace for Mother Earth.

Che stank. He was dirty. And did nothing for me. Does Rosie do anything for you? I thought not.

And about your deposition: it won't be a palace coup for that would set tongues wagging unnecessarily.

About the garbage-bag belly dancers. I'm here in San Antonio, helping a friend, Katie, deliver some paintings. She wants me, based on my ability with bullshit, which I will only bow to SMO on, to write up catalog descriptions for her. Her granddaughter at the Chicago Institute of Art (?) says there are courses for that but essentially it's bullshit.

How about. "Where environmental sensitivity intersects with post-modern irony"? We could chance it and go on to, "Women who are seasoned in life find spirituality in giving a new life to civilization's discarded artefacts."

I see that I may not be able to do it. Every synapse in my brain is screaming, "Bullshit!" I knew of a man who applied for a job at Crown Center in Kansas City--the kitsch center of the universe, and all universes to come. Hallmark. He was put to a test and after a while couldn't stand the treacle and turned in what he had done, knowing he'd failed. The man laughed and took him to another room where they has posted other failed examinations. Evidently it takes the stomach of a concentration-camp guard to write that stuff.

Yeah, I think I've heard of this before. Doesn't the test look kind of like this?

So you have university courses in bullshit there too, Commissar! In Stray-ya they are known as "Bachelor of Arts".

(Vaguely) on the topic of this post; as if we need more evidence of the glorious alliance between the greenprogressiveleft and the revolutionist warriors of Islam the Religion Of Piece. Looks like those Gaia worshipping womyn adorning themselves with compost have been reading The Cube.

Saudi Abdul, Anchorage AK: "Sea Weed Goddess"

Green and sparkling remnant fabrics from an archival closet reinvent themselves into a beautiful bellydance costume. Decorations salvaged from a old beaded dress. Saudi's red hair and green gown are a salute to the vitality to the earth.


They sure are, SeaWeed Saudi, they sure are. Okay, so in your home country this type of costume will get you beheaded. But oh what a progressive tribute to your beloved Mum.

About this darling little curl (it would look ever so sweet with a red bow): Is there any possibility of trying to extract DNA from it? Maybe clone a whole army of Che Guevaras, and then open a theme park?

Think about it. In Orlando they not only have Disney World, but a theme park called the "Holy Land Experience" which is like "Praiseland" as seen on The Simpsons.

I don't think it's right--or should I say correct--that Evangelical Christians should have a theme park when The Party has none. That's theme park bias.

I now have a glorious vision of The Most Progressive Place On Earth! A mock Kremlin with the onion domes of St. Basil's instead of Cinderella's castle! Long lines everywhere! Animatronics (sp?) of "Great Moments" with Lenin and Che and other Important Progressive Persons that walk and talk and break down before an auditorium empty of all but a few tired parents who just want an excuse to sit down someplace air conditioned (also because there's never a line to get into this particular attraction). Only there will be no air conditioning, will there, because that is bad for the environment.

Oh, someone please shut me up before I get some nutty idea that my life might actually have a purpose, after all!

BB, oddly enough Rice University awards a BA in math--probably the only place on earth that does so. I have one.

Commissarka--love the name, ducks--I much like your idea of Cheland. Just think what we could do if we had a campus for all the bloggers of the Daily Kos--you know that the peasants would have lots of cool places to sit down, of course; it must be comfortable. But don't expect showers. Unless they're group showers that smell like peaches.

Everyone walks under the red arches to pick up his supersized, meaning a full half--deep-fried turnip. People with a particularly good record of denouncing people get water that is not only chilled but doesn't have cholera in it. Not too much though; we don't want informant inflation. Only the top informants will not have severe intestinal disorders and/or death.

And ABCDarius Rex, who are, I assume by your nom de guerre, a pedagogue or possibly a publisher of pedagogical materials, as distinguished from a pedant, which I am, and especially as distinguished from a pederast, which neither of us is, would you be involved in writing part of a didactic treaty on the language of the progressive? A lexicographer of larceny, compiler of calumny, and I think I'm doing myself out of a job.

Meow! Is your dungeon empty? Bruno still hasn't finished cleaning up after Mr. Reno came for a visit. And I detect a usurper.

Apply directly where it hurts.

Rubbing this tress against a sore spot on your body can cure various conditions, from cataracts to erectile dysfunction. Bill Butler, 61, who bought the 3-inch tress clipped from Guevara's mane for $100,000 has cured both and is now looking 20 years younger, preparing for a romantic second honeymoon with his toaster in Las Vegas's own Tahiti Village Resort.

Side effects may include delusions, paranoia, BDS, HBO, and other related syndromes.

Oh, Red! Do you think that lovely lock of Che-mane would help ease the torment of these poor suffering souls?

Ha Commissarka Ha Pinkie Ha.
You are a delight. That read at the DailyKos was a real belly full of jelly chuckle! I esp. liked the "Bush made me a freakin nutjob headcase" one at the end. OOH OOH OOH maybe I can use that to excuse my laziness at work... and my extra 20 pounds that I can't work off... or my penchant for good beer and chili (or maybe that's related to number two in this list)... or maybe I can fob off my neglect of writing the definitive American novel on Bush. Damn you, W!!! If it weren't for you my feet wouldn't smell and chicks would hang on me like languid ivy on a well-crafted trellis.

Oh, and about the Che clones? I think they done that.

Remember, these guys killed all the Jedi. Makes you think, huh?

No prob. A Clone Apart is one of the best Machinima series out there.

I think its funny to mention that reporting here in Dallas that there was only one soul that bid on the hair..... Seems kinda sad that all those hippies never made that much money to procure greatness....

Of course, all this angst and imagined persecution among the Kossacks will be their justification to cause real angst and pursue real persecution against their imagined tormentors in the near future. I am reminded of the the MTE's complaints about being victimized by "a vast right-wing conspiracy". What was her solution? Participate in the creation of an even more vast and insidious left wing conspiracy!
<br>These people have little or no sense of individualism and literally see themselves as powerless in the face of an imagined takeover of "their" America by evil right wing extremists. The mainstream media and all corporations are right wing and aligned against them. They are being censored and surpressed at every turn (and paying millions to leftist PR firms to get that message out). They live in a Hollywood-style fantasy world right out of that old Sci Fi "B" movie, They Live where a thin veneer of "normal" American society hides a brutal Republican-controlled totalitarian dystopia that only the Kossacks can see.

Look, I'm sure many of us have "been there" (more Left-leaning) at some point in our lives but holy crap, I don't think I was ever this bad. Were any of you? Some of these respondents sound like they have become delusional a danger to themselves.

Well, I dunno. Depending on whose bush we're talking about it could make or break your marriage.
Just a random thought there.
