Forever Fighting Fidel: In Praise of Andy Garcia
But those are only obvious examples. This twisted love for totalitarians permeates much of the Hollywood culture. A director friend of mine told me with amusement that while on one of those Eighties cultural exchanges to Cuba, his wife couldn’t resist planting a big kiss on Castro’s cheek when the dictator made a surprise appearance at a reception they were attending. Such stories are typical.
I doubt Soderbergh or Stone or certainly the director’s wife ever spoke with Huber Matos, perhaps the most moving speaker at the Echo Park demonstration. In his nineties now, Matos was one of Fidel’s original comrades in the fight against Batista . But he made the mistake of voicing concern that the revolution was turning communist. For that, Che, in his typical fashion, wanted to put Matos in front of a firing squad (Al paredon!), but Fidel, not wanting to turn him into a martyr, intervened. Instead, the Caudillo incarcerated his former comrade for his views in the notorious prison at the Isle of Youth. There, Matos was tortured and had his cojones cut (quite literally) as he waited for twenty years to get out.
But back to the demonstration, the many Castro prisoners of today and Andy Garcia. These days, Cuba seems to be pretty much off our radar, except where Fidel’s health is concerned or for debates about the degree his brother Raúl is loosening things up (answer: not much). And given the interests of the current administration – its seeming disinterest in the activities of totalitarian regimes – this is not likely to change. All the more reason Andy Garcia – actor and Laker fan – is to be praised and supported. And, as you will see in the video, in LA’s Echo Park last weekend he was getting plenty of that praise and support from his fellow Cuban-Americans (and from Perez Hilton!). He deserves it.

Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara was a racist. Why isn’t this better known? Take a look at these following quotes:
“Ernesto “Che” Guevara
“We’re going to do for blacks exactly what blacks did for the revolution. By which I mean: nothing.” -Che Guevera
“The Negro is indolent and lazy, and spends his money on frivolities, whereas the European is forward-looking, organized and intelligent.”- Che Guevara
“Mexicans are a band of illiterate Indians.” – Che Guevara
“Given the prevailing lack of discipline, it would have been impossible to use Congolese machine-gunners to defend the base from air attack: they did not know how to handle their weapons and did not want to learn,” – Che Guevara
Che Guevara also railed against “long hairs,” “lazy youths,” and homosexuals.”

“David, the reason we produced this video is,in part, to start the ball rolling in correcting the record on Che. More to come.”
I strongly recommend Humberto Fontava’s book, Exposing The Real Che Guevara. Our Ivy League elites were also indispensable in helping Castro to become dictator of Cuba. The CIA from its very beginning was substantially a left-wing organization. Many of its top leaders were naïve utopians. CIA officials during that era thought Castro and Guevara were committed to democracy. They destroyed any viable opposition to the so-called great revolution of liberation.
RE #1/ Thomson -
David, the communism doctrine is a raw Darwinistic view of history – yet, somehow, commies can advance imune of punishment unspeakable tenets for today, like “superior cultures – like communism – will always engulf and destroy inferior cultures, and this is good”, self-evident truth in Moscow (and Bel Aire & Manhattan), since Stalin’s time ’till…
… my bet is that this view is still cherished today in the same quarters.
Weltraum, anyone?
Hollywood is filled with sufferers of arrested adolescence.
They are in love with rebellion. Or the facade of being a “rebel”.
In order to facilitate the fantasy that Che or Fidel were “heroic” as opposed to despotic…they need to romanticize the “rebel” and evaporate the brutish, murdering, dictator actions.
Sean Penn, Martin Sheen, Jane Fonda and the rest can then slobber over any murderous thug…and those who lick the boots of matinee idols can follow those who lick the boots of mass murderers.
I have the greatest admiration fro Andy Garcia. It cannot be easy being among the few in Hollywood who do not romanticize the dictator, Fidel and his “revolution”.
Andy Garcia is The Awesome. Period. I liked him before simply as an actor, but when he faced down the specter of being called “pariah” for his stance on Elian Gonzales and Cuba, and answered Matt Lauer as directly as he did on TV, he became a hero to me:
“Lauer: “You shared a little of your personal story about coming here when you were about to turn 6. Let me ask you to take this and make it a personal issue. You’ve got three children, is that right?”
Garcia: “Yes, yes.”
Lauer: “So if you were in Cuba and Elian was your child here in the United States could you honestly say that you’d rather have him stay here than be reunited with you in Cuba?”
Garcia: “With complete conviction Matt. I would never, it’s a fate worse than hell to have my children, to think that my children would be growing up in that system over there. I mean I was a product of that. I was singing the International when I was about to turn six years old before we left Cuba and I can tell you first hand by many experiences the situation in Cuba for a young man is not a good one. We had a terrible issue in 1994 with 72 Cubans who left on a tugboat from Cuba and the Cuban fireboats or coast guard approached this vessel and with fire hoses proceeded to drown and to capsize these boats where 41 of the 72 died and amongst them were ten children. So this personal obsession that Fidel has over this child is obviously for political reasons. And this child if he goes back will become sort of a pendant around, you know, Fidel’s, you know, neck as his trophy and his anti-American sort of mantle.”
Thats another thing that is long overdue. The U.S. should welcome the 21st century and change its relationship with Cuba. The time has come. It was reasonable to play the political football in the 20th century but I think both parties, and the cuban cronies in florida have milked have milked that coconut for all its worth. Do it as soon as fidel kiks. And I think it would be something for this president to do in his second term, or when the next repub gets the job in ’20. Pubs did ok with the china move in ’72 though, so maybe its the dems turn to open doors eh?
9. Sure. And while we’re at it, why don’t we normalize relations with North Korea, and send an ambassador to al-Qaeda.
“As soon as Castro kicks.” You do realize that Raul is at least as bad?
The poverty and repression in Cuba is not the fault of the United States, and/or the trade embargo imposed by it upon Cuba.
After all, Cuba is free to trade with Canada, Mexico, and most EU countries.
The poverty that has resulted in Cuba is strictly at the feet of the Castro brothers, and their evil Marxist theology.
It is Fidel, and Raul, that keeps their countrymen as prisoners, and pawns on the international stage.
Che Guevara died as he lived, a filthy little murdering coward only idiots and fools would admire and emulate. As long as Cuba is ruled by this kind of barbaric, jackbooted anti-American communist scum, they should be shown nothing but contempt for the millions of innocent lives they have destroyed.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Cuba, but I think Andy Garcia would’ve made a great “Godfather” and I wish they would make a fourth film in that series. OK, I’ll add something about Cuba now, Fidel eats boogers!
Whoa, whoa, waitaminnit:
Perez Hilton? The same Perez Hilton who vowed to “destroy” Carrie Prejean because he didn’t like her stand on gay marriage?? That Perez Hilton???

Roger:
I applaud your work and am grateful for the energy you put forth for this cause. But I have to ask you–Why wasn’t it apparent to you and so many other young leftists what fools you were to fall in love with the left? I am 54, and I can assure you in 1979 I had no illusions about who Castro was, or the Russian communists, or Ho Chi Minh, or the Black panthers, or Tom Hayden, the Weathermen, or any number of other left leaning thugs. Were you so self-righteous then that it never occurred to you and your fellow travelers at the time that history was replete with examples of how your ideology led to streets running in blood?
I wasn’t a political junkie either, but it was just so easy with a little diverse reading to find out who these people really were. Are you not a bit dismayed at the damage your naive leftist leanings has done, and how obvious it should have been to you that you were misguided? Glad to have you with us for sure, but is there any wondering on your part how your careless embrace of the left led–somewhere, somehow–to freedom delayed or denied?
Men like you, David Horowitz, Michael Medved, Ron Radosh, are wonderfully articulate and helpful today in fighting the leftist agenda. But don’t you ever wonder: how could I have been so shallow as to help the enemy’s cause for so long when it was so easily seen where it leads? I would hope so, and that your energies will guide an occasional young leftist today to examine his heart and head and ask how he could believe the egalitarian drivel that covers their crowd.
Andy’s movie, the Lost City is really good as entertainment aloner. I suspect they had so much material illustrating the weirdness of the Castro minions that editing took a huge effort. Worthy of a series.
Is there any way we can contact Andy and express our support and admiration?
And while I’m asking … Jon Voight? Gary Sinise?
Good job, Roger!
One of the women that cleans our building at work escaped from the worker’s paradise of Cuba about 20 years ago, still not that great at English, but we communicate just fine.
I asked her if she missed Cuba, and she actually started to weep. “Is it that bad there?” I asked. All she could do was nod her head.
Always liked Andy Garcia too, now I know why. He has guts.
Garcia has never forgotten who he is. I think a lot of those Hollywood people Roger speaks of, never knew who they were. They are always playing a role.
To tommytruffle:
You are asking something that many of us ask. Like you I was never “tempted”, if that’s the right word, by the Left. Of course I grew up in a conservative household with lots of books on the shelves, like Orwell’s Animal Farm and Koestler’s Darkness at Noon, that I read before I left grammar school. My parents were not ideologues, and when I came home from my public school filled with the anti-Viet Nam War slogans of the day, repeated by my teachers, my parents didn’t just lampoon them or counter with slogans of their own, instead they calmly produced counter-arguments, they challenged me to ask my teachers various follow-up questions, they instilled the idea of analysis in me… sounds like you grew up that way too. As I got older I got a bit tired of my parents’ certainty about things, I softened my “conservative” view on a lot of things, and in time turned the guns they had forged against them, taking great pride in “winning” arguments that they weren’t equipped or interested enough at the time to win anyway, against a passionate, cocky college boy. I went through a “liberal” phase; gosh, I recall even voting for a Democrat a couple of times.
Look, Simon and others acknowledge that they were ambitious people with progressive attitudes and backrounds. Politics was something that sort of crept up on them. But give them credit for looking squarely at them when they couldn’t be avoided, and choosing apostasy over conformity. Personally, I find Radosh and Roger too centrist (Horowitz, definitely not), but I am delighted to have them on our side of the fence, and without their insights into the psychopathology of the Left we would be less equipped to deal with it. The Left isn’t powerful just through hypnosis – it does have some arguments in its favor which any healthy young person might get passionate about. That the Left is essentially cynical and exploitative and tyrannical does not mean it has no arguments.

Here in Washington DC Andy Garcia was a real classy guy a couple years ago when the great Redskins safety Sean Taylor was murdered in his home down in Tampa FL. Taylor’s girlfriend and mother of his child is Garcia’s niece. The funeral, or at least a public service, was shown on local cable and Garcia was a stand-up guy all the way.
Thank you, Stephen W and Irish Beauty.
I honor the conversion of liberals like Roger back to the cause of liberty, and am thankful for their insights into the leftist playbook.
I fear for my children’s future in this corrupted nation of ours. A place where leftists idolize butchers like Che and lampoon brave men like Reagan is hard for me to comprehend as my own country. The speed with witch our leviathan government has used its well-meaning but soft-headed electorate to capture 55% of the economy, debase the currency, and obligate generations in thrall to entitlements is–simply stunning.
To regain for my children and grandchildren a nation NOT headed for Cuban despotism will require the statists in charge to cut the size of government by 30-40 percent. It will not happen. And the pernicious leftward tilt will accelerate as we struggle to pay our bills.
I cheer those committed to rolling back the gargantuan state. I regret that I judge myself guilty of being right for most of the ride, but having done far too little personally to stem the tide. I will not choose to hand over to my heirs a USA that more resembles Cuba or Russia than the one Washington and Madison handed my ancestors. I will fight, and, I am afraid, the fight will come to all of us whether we wanted it or not.
Tom @29 “I will fight, and, I am afraid, the fight will come to all of us whether we wanted it or not.”
Amen, brother.
Mr. Simon, thank you for all you do.
And I will now rent an Andy Garcia movie!
Hollywood has saved me many dollars over the years. Andy Garcia and Gary Sinese are about the only ‘stars’ that receive any support from me. The rest can go straight to hell.
What I have never understood is this. Do these actors, director’s, and Hollywood types understand that if they lived in a Stalin-like or Castro-like totalitarian state, they would be some of the first to be executed and purged?

Roger if you contact me I can give you some added information on the capture of Che in Bolivia.
I went to the demonstration last Sunday, and as I expected it was a gathering of warm-hearted, freedom-loving people. I commiserated with some of them about Cuba and about the cold shoulder given them by so many in my generation of Americans – spoiled children who have never learned a single hard fact about life. May they who were there live to visit a Cuba Libre. This is of course not in the vision of our current regime, but this too shall pass.
I was surprised by the appearance of Perez Hilton, and half tempted to say something about it, but for this moment he was human. Go figure.
Revolutionaries like Castro, stay “revolutionaries” forever because it is one thing to perpetually complain about the “man” as justification for your ineptness; it is quite another to become an effective “establishment”;
Castro is just another ”tyrant dictator”, just like the ones in Iran/Saudi/Syria et al, but he did not have the good sense to have what Americans bow down to: crude oil…so no invitation to the White House for Castro…
You keep buying that oil and financing the war against yourself every day at the gas pump…Soon the draft is coming! Oil ! oil ! Anything just give us oil! That is you!
Blogs are great! I get to tell the truth and you got no idea who the messenger is that you…
I generally detest Hollywood movies and their continual attempts to rewrite history, but I found Andy Garcia’s “The Lost City” about Havana right before and during the revolution to be exceptionally poignant and moving. It struck me as a balanced, very truthful depiction of the events at that time. Sure, there was the corrupt leadership and some allusion to the heavy influence of organized crime, but there was also a thriving middle class and recognizable prosperity, in stark contrast to the way things have been ever since. The movie doesn’t shy away from showing the ruthless, cold-hearted brutality of both sides. On the other hand, it does portray the revolutionaries as mostly young, idealistic, often well-educated who truly loved their country. Doubtless few among them could have envisioned that their revolution would be hijacked to create a cult of personality and an island prison. The left in this country who were severely critical of the film are still caught up in the romantic, idealized vision of the youthful revolutionaries. How else could they continue to wax so lyrically about Fidel and Che when in a sane world they should be ridiculed mercilessly for doing so. The left in Hollywood and elsewhere are incapable to this day of confronting the reality that their leftist ideology has been tested many times on the world stage and has only led to misery and never to the promotion of human happiness. And yet, here we are in this country on the path to test these Marxist theories once again.
18 – tommytruffle:
Bully for you that you were a patriotic conservative in the 60′s. But is there a point to your beating up on Roger for what he believed in the past? Unless he did something that actually led to bloodshed, I think your comments are out of line.
If the Museum of Tolerance can have a former skinhead be one of its leading exponents (he goes to schools and lectures the kids with death camp survivors), surely you can cut Roger a bit of slack.
I applaud him for who he is and the message he brings in helping America overcome the extreme challenges it faces TODAY.
Andy Garcia is the BEST!!! I am working on a film project to expose the TRUTH about Cuba! Take the mask off of Castro and Che, for all they have done is make false accustations on my Father who fought against communism heading to the homeland.
“What I have never understood is this. Do these actors, director’s, and Hollywood types understand that if they lived in a Stalin-like or Castro-like totalitarian state, they would be some of the first to be executed and purged?”
These poorly educated and naive individuals don’t have a clue. They fail to realize that hard-core leftists perceive them only as useful idiots—to be pushed to the side once they have obtained unquestioned power. Fidel Castro was helped by the sons and daughters of more affluent Cuban families. These versions of America’s own Jane Fonda and Tom Hayden were played for suckers.
““Penthouse Bolsheviks” (to use a term coined in the Thirties to describe the excessive admiration many chic New Yorkers had for Stalin)”
Talking in your sleep again, eh Roger? “Excessive”? So just a little admiration for old Joe Stalin is ok. Right? You, like most grown-older lefties, haven’t really shed the knee jerk cover-your-bases expressions which show those that didn’t live through the terrors that there was, after all, some good to it all.
If the Right had the inquisitions of the Left, you wouldn’t survive the cull.
I’ve traveled in Cuba during Batista and a couple of times under Fidel.
Armando Belladares has a pretty good read on the whole rotten saga.
Americans don’t because of the media of the 60s onward.
So-called Miami Cubans have gone under the mind scythes of the Hollywood moguls and their high school drop out “actor” sex toys as well. Cuban-Americans go to rallys to “support” Cuba, but when you talk with them, at least half will blather on about “reforms” needed in the U.S. which precisely track the history of all Socialism turned tyranny.
But they can’t get beyond racial politics themselves. They practice Democrat minority politics, loving the poseur in the White House as they would a cane cutting slave freed by José Martí (with American money and American soldiers, lest we forget!).
Sadly, Cubans in America have assimilated. They follow the Chicago mob wherever it leads them.
Is it “chic” now, Roger, to go to rallies for Cuba in the park — after the hundreds of thousands have got tortured, bled and buried — is it now ok to say something?
I’m glad you do. But I’m still waiting (with the dead) for some ashes and sackcloth, gnashing of teeth — to salve the wounds with which you Lefties of the 60s-90s pilloried us. Like Cubans in Cuba, we wait too.
Maybe Andy could knock some sense into all the beltway and hollywood libs who like to go down to cuba and sing its praises (see youtube video of same). Andy, WTF? Can you talk to Sean Penn and Danny Glover or are they too nuts to even talk to you?

“Unless he did something that actually led to bloodshed, I think your comments are out of line.”
I do commend Roger and others for what they are doing TODAY. We need all liberty-loving Americans to continue speaking out.
I suppose part of me IS actually concerned about bloodshed, here in my own country, as a consequence of the leftist destruction that has led to bloodshed everywhere else it has run its course. And though I hold current and past leftists as ultimately responsible for it when it comes, I too am responsible for it to a lesser degree.
I did see its dangers earlier than recent converts to the cause of liberty, but did not dedicate a bigger part of my life to challenging and defeating leftists in my homeland. As I watch the devolution to an Atlas Shrugged nightmare here, I know that I was complacent–that I was happy to go about my life while the evil of collectivist politics marched on, taking whatever it wanted of my productive countrymen’s property, in the name of fairness. I figured the ebb and flow of politics would give us capitalists a shot at righting wrongs once in a while, and I merely looked at leftists as looney, not ultimately dangerous.
But, you see JJ, when the myriad government promises are repudiated (as they must be), bonds will default, fiat currencies will crash, and services to all the entitled dependents will be cut off–while the producers flee or go underground, hunted as criminals by the ruling class. There will be blood, and that future is a consequence of too many stylish lefties trashing the fabric of our freedom decades ago. And too many men like myself, who knew they were wrong, but did little to stop them.
Kudos to the heros who bravely resist tyranny, wherever it may be found. A princely crown for Andy Garcia; note how Andy stressed the humanity of what he was trying to commend – a universal humanity that has been the effect of having a spiritual foundation, so that it becomes grace really, that is animating mr garcia – his sincerely and graceful catholic faith, which is deeper than any mere strictly rightwing ideology. there should be no litmus test on how far to the right or how long held. It is sin which is the root cause of human misery and degradation, and those who are proudly in denial of sin that are the most dangerous politically of all people. We can’t say that sin has never weaved its destructive course through those who on the right may view themselves as impeccable and more worthy than prodigal son converts. And on the other hand, i do celebrate a perception that the views of a genuine conservative philosophy are more mature and wise; i sense this even in today’s comments here – as opposed to the vile and barbaric comments that go through the huffington post or the new york times or the washington post or the la times. Liberals have too often lost both decency, morality and civilized discourse; wheras the conservative hasn”t. the Democrats often follow this pattern, using vile swear-words, indecencies, and perverted manners that reveal very much that man is a FALLEN being, who in many or most areas is not free. The conservative can see this and adopt it as a part of his slowly received but increasingly accurate and mature portrayal of reality outside of himself; though he may be somewhat slower in recognizing let alone acknowledging that this enemy of FALLENESS is also within himself too – cutting through the hearts individually, said Solzhenitsyn, of every last one of us. Don’t think for a moment that rightest dictators haven’t arisen nor tortured arbitrarily, and may do so again throughout the globe.
its just that the Left’s refusal to even consider (instead of lampooning and mocking traditional Judaic or Christian values) the reality that man is morally corrupt and ethically poisoned within his own heart. THAT is the chiefest blindness of the Left and the greatest danger of creeping government on behalf of the Left and leftwing causes, because that is the false utopian cinderella land that will wind up being the worst and final tyranny and the greatest revolution of all, the revolution of an Antichrist dictator & an antigod orwellian “1984″ system. And yes God help us because we are nearing its overthrowing us, not so easily identified as Leftwing, although is appears now that such is the case, but the revolutionary ideology of Antichrist and the final generation which says, “Non Servium” – I will NOT serve (God)! I am opposed to God – indeed, they will say, that THEY are God. And THEN will commense the Day of Doom – the firey Day of Judgement, when all will be judged by the returning Christos Pantocrator, with fire in his sword, his eyes, and his words!
Mr. Simon,
Two U.S. Marines were recruited out of Quantico in 1962 to help train anti-Castro Cubans. One died in the effort and one wrote a book about the struggle.
When we joined Alpha 66 there was already some sense of treachery from the CIA. We all knew Playa Jiron had been a betrayal, but we couldn’t believe our United States would side with Fidel. Three years later we were sold out and many of us died. The book is “Mercenary’s Tale: fighting Fidel Castro”. Published by Booksurge, it’s on Amazon and well reviewed. Anyone interested? Maybe more Americans will demand real justice for Castro if the real story of the Gusanos becomes better known.
I wonder if Andy Garcia’s family was one of those we smuggled out of Cuba in ’62 or ’63. How would I find out?

Interesting article Roger, thank you!
With regards to Perez Hilton, I might have a different perspective given that I checked his gossip blog daily pre-Prejean.. I have a weakness for celeb gossip
Anyway, if you’d spend any time reading his blog you’d realize that 1) he’s a COMPLETE idiot and 2) he attaches himself to anything that makes him “special” or “unique” (ie: gay, and Cuban). The combination of those two characteristics is the reason he was at the rally. He’ll post things about the struggles of the Cuban people, yet he has zero understanding of the history behind those struggles. Because.. he’s a belligerent idiot. In typical leftist fashion, he ignores facts and creates his own historical scenarios that justify his beliefs. So, in short, I wouldn’t get your hopes up about Mr. Perez. The only reason he was there was so he could feel “special”.

Listen, I understand where you’re coming from and I agree that the seeds of our own destruction were sown in the 50′s and 60′s. And so, okay, Roger was a liberal. Jeez, I grew up as a liberal kid in NYC but as I grew and survived Jimmah Carter I changed my tune.
David Horowitz is one of the most tireless and effective voices against the leftists and he not only grew up as a communist he was a comrade (literally) of William Ayers! But his expertise and experience about how the left operates is absolutely invaluable to us. But should we just dwell on his past and shun the guy?!
Come on now. Show the tolerance that the left never does!

The pot is a big contributor. Marijuana does this in two ways: 1.) Chemically. It stunts emotional growth by “taking care of” your stress and problems, allowing you to be 14 years old forever. 2.) Culturally. When the legalizers win their battle, it will be “Look! We got our pot! Our rebellion was right! Therefore, all our other little rebellions are right!”
You legalize pot and you feed a monster.
