Chasing Che (PBS & National Geographic CHE Guevara 10 week mini series)

A ruse about Che hitting the U.S. airwaves targeting Latinos © 2007 ABIP Commentary by Agustin Blazquez with the collaboration of Jaums Sutton

Fasten your seat belts! The latest installment of Che-junk will be broadcast soon, polluting the airways of America directed to the Latinos. That's all we need, to get the masses of Latinos in the U.S. all prey to that romantic and fake image of the notorious Argentinean criminal - known by his victims as "The Butcher of the Cabana" (a fortress made into a prison where Che executed many without trial).

For the largely ignorant masses in the U.S. and in Latin America, this mini-series is a charade designed to enlist more fools to the cult of the despicable Che. Unknown to most of them is that Che looked down on the natives of the Americas and Latinos. Involved in this travesty is National Geographic Adventure that developed this mini-series that will be broadcast on V-me by Public TV stations, cable and satellites providers.

According to the announcement below, "V-me is the national network partnered with Public TV, that entertains and educates America's Latino families in Spanish." So here you have it, you are financing with your taxes and donations, programming that, far from being educational, is misleading the Latino population in the U.S. and fostering admiration for a criminal that was an enemy of the U.S., of democracy and freedom.

This production is an effort to poison and brainwash the growing Latino population in the U.S.

In the many recent demonstrations lately of for Latino rights, while many are good and decent people, it was also easy to see the anti-U.S. tenor of many -- the flags and t-shirts with the face of Che. So many of them see Che as the hero and savior he wasn't.

This unfortunate broadcast will mislead and convert many to believers of the cult of Che and make more enemies from within - as if the U.S. needs more. This is a shameless ruse of National Geographic Adventure with the collaboration of Public-TV. Both should be better informed about history. *************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

As the two young riders compare the realities of present-day Argentina, Chile, Peru, Colombia and Venezuela to Che and Granado's observations a new South America will be reveled. How far has it come and where is it headed?

It would probably take 10 weeks to tell everything bad he did.

Just what we need, the glorification of a pathological Marxist.

PBS specializes in misplaced sympathy.

Meanwhile, a recent attack on American civilians featuring the innocents jumping to their deaths is a non-story.

PBS specializes in misplaced sympathy.

And becoming "visibly excited" over revered dictators.

Another series I won’t be watching. Thanks for the warning.

And I cancelled my support for the local PBS station years ago. A shame because the local programming was pretty good. Liberal tendencies and the embrace of our country’s enemies at the national level has just about decimated our local station and probably more than a few others too.

Wouldn’t it have been cheaper to just buy the rights to run The Motorcycle Diaries and broadcast that? Same subject matter, attractive actors, identical propaganda value.

“fresh look” = rewriting history
“controversial” = murderous
