Bolivians blow up the che statue in Oruro
Bolivians are starting to have had about enough.
This morning, on the heels of the anti-communist freedom rally in eastern Santa Cruz, news broke that Bolivians in the beautiful western city of Oruro blew up the che statue yesterday. Oruro is Evo Morales' hometown.
What's significant about that is that Oruro actually was one of the few places that voted for Morales. The sentiment has significantly changed in the six months he's been in office and they've had enough.
Bolivians are recovering their TRUE heritage of how to deal with the Argentine mercenary of castrodom.
iYA NO MAS!
We love the Bolivians!
Agencia EFE has the killer story here:
Bomb damages sculpture of che in BoliviaLa Paz, Jun 30 (EFE).- A small bomb partially destroyed a bronze bust of iconic guerrilla ernesto "che" guevara on the ground floor of a labor federation in the west-central Bolivian city of Oruro.
Thursday afternoon's blast came three days before elections for a Constituent Assembly the new Socialist government hopes will write a leftist charter for the Andean nation, and two weeks after President Evo Morales joined with the late rebel's son to commemorate his birthday in the village where he was summarily executed by Bolivian forces in 1967.
Unionists in Oruro blamed the attack on unidentified "rightist terrorists" they claimed were seeking to disrupt Sunday's elections.
The blast took place as union officials were meeting on an upper floor of the headquarters of Oruro's Provincial Labor Federation.
Union leader Remigio Lopez said the explosive device blasted away the upper right-side portion of the sculpture of guevara's head.
He said that, upon hearing the blast, he and other unionists rushed downstairs to the spot where the statue stands, but the person or persons who had placed the device had fled.
Earlier this month, Camilo guevara March, son of ernesto, visited the Bolivian hamlet where his father was killed to take part in celebrations of what would have been the legendary insurgent's 78th birthday.
Camilo, one of che's six children, also traveled to Vallegrande, where Bolivian soldiers buried guevara's body in a clandestine grave along with those of six other guerrillas.
The Argentine-born Cuban (mercenary) was killed by government troops in the hamlet of La Higuera on Oct. 9, 1967 after being captured while trying to organize an insurgency among Bolivian peasants.
In June 1997, Cuban and Argentine experts discovered and unearthed guevara's remains and moved them to a mausoleum in Santa Clara, Cuba.

From Marxists.org, a commie site, che himself wrote of Oruro:
At the same time, it is important not to neglect the development of networks in cities that are today outside our field of action. In these places we should seek to win support among the population and prepare ourselves for future actions. Oruro and Potosà are the most important cities in this category.
Bolivians continue to tell che what they think of him.

Actually we teamed up with exiled Nazis who live in Montevideo and where helped out by former Rhodesian mercenaries to do this commando action.

Hopefully the anti-morales sentiments will be expressed at the polls and not just in symbolic violent acts.

Assuming there still are polls. In Sunday's vote, Evo is changing the constitution so that he can be dictator for life. Hopefully that won't happen.

By the way, it'd be hard for the Miami Mafia to hide out in Oruro - it's over 90% Highland Indian. Any white or black would get noticed.

This is heartening, but I really look forward to the day when che(shit)'s gravesite in Cuba is blown to smithereens, purging that obscene filth from that beautiful island.

I'd like to see the che ashes flushed down some toilet and properly disposed of.

The Che killed or had killed so many that the record is far from complete. See Chapter 14 of my book in Progress at:

That should have been Chapter 7 and 7B at http://narrations-of-war-in-cuba.blogspot.com/2006_05_01_narrations-of-war-in-cuba_archive.html
BTW these stories are in English....
BTW I never met the Che becaue then I was too close to the plains and that was lucky for me for he had a habit of "arancandosele a cualquiera"

Oh by the talking of Rhodesians today
Today I was glad to hear that
" Kevin John Woods, Philip
Mazisa Conjwayo and Michael Anthony Smith are due to be released from
prison at 07:30 Zimbabwe time tomorrow after an ordeal lasting 18
years."

Thanks for this story! I really needed to hear some good news today (i've been grouchy at all the leftism today). I told my wife, una argentina this and she goes "really". Any news against Ché is good news!

It's a day brightener. Here's another. I was looking up che statues to find a picture of the damn thing, and found a much bigger statue of che in La Higuera where he was disposed of. The wikipedia author wrote that the statue bore an uncanny likeness to pervert Michael Jackson. I liked that comparison. I hope everyone thinks of the two freaks together, because they are both vile.
