Very interesting article which caught my interest while thinking about the incredible fact that Castro was allowed to stay in power for so many years right on the US' doorstep. I think one aspect that might be lacking is Cuba's role in the drug trade. The drug trade through Cuba of not least cocaine - from South America into the States via Miami - was booming at the time when Castro came to power. Under Batista, drug cartels were establishing control and casinos were shooting up in Havana (the tell-tale mark of drug money and accompanying money laundering). The American anti-narcotics agency was allegedly trying to fight this development (which sounds as real as the war on drugs) but were unable to "control" the situation. This could perhaps be yet a reason to rush Castro into power under the cover of a "revolution". Maintaining control of the drug traficking route through Cuba and thereby ensuring a high degree of stability could be another reason to keep Castro in power for a lifetime.

Pope Francis was "sad" about Castro's passing and gave "sentiments of grief". Another NWO puppet. He is one to keep an eye on because some indications show that he is forming a world religion. Something the globalists have had planned for years.

And while Trump said the right things by bashing Castro; I am guessing will betray his supporters, by being another Alexis Tsipras (the PM of Greece), who did not stand up to the bankers as he had promised. His approval has fallen around 90% I think. There is some conspiracy speculation that Trump could have been chosen to bring Mexico, Canada, and the USA together in a supernation as almost completely envisioned by the Club of Rome. Hillary could not do it after all...but Trump is a better candidate for the job. Time will tell.

It might be a good to have a few articles on Alexis Tsipras on your website Mr. Makow sometime in the future as a follow-up to the ones published in the past. I believe for certain now that he is another globalist lackey because nothing has changed in Greece since he was voted in.

Hello Henry Makow
How are you? Americans can't expect to avoid destruction as long as they continue to embrace Communism in all its myriad disguises.
Now I can say that USA has turned into USSA = United Socialist States of America.
OR in other words USA has taken place of USSR former imperial power of Communism/Soviet which has been vanished by Mujahadeen and Obama himself is a communist and keen to repeat History as you know history does repeat itself and USSR got vanished by Muslims freedom fighters and now its USSA turns
USSR + USA = USSA
All types of U's are fighting for G.O.D [Excluding Muslims who are fighting for Allah]

2. Oil
3. Drugs

The song as you can see is called "If You Seek Amy" and uses the cheap device/gimmick of its title to brainwash the young kids it's targeting with its toxic subliminal message (coincidentally Britney Spears had an album named "Toxic").

The lyrics of the chorus go:

Love me hate me
But can't you see what I see
But all of the boys and all of the girls are
begging to If You Seek Amy

..as you can see she's saying "all the boys and all the girls are begging to IF(F) YOU(U) SEE(C) K(K) AMY(ME)

so she's singing "all the boys and all the girls are begging to F-U-C-K ME" (under the guise of "If you seek amy)"

Pure subliminal brainwashing TRASH and more homosexual propaganda as well in the spirit of all the recent big pop music hits like Katy Perry's "I kissed a girl - I liked it.." etc..

You are one of the last beacons of truth and light in this depraved and increasingly sickening world, please do not stop exposing these disgusting elite controllers and their master plans! I hope you include this utterly blatant subliminal brainwashing in one of your next articles, this has to be exposed!! They veil it on purpose so that the song can get radio play (since the overt use of curse word like "fuck" would prohibit it from getting on the radio stations) so that they can reach more and more young minds. One of the youtube comments even had a bubbly giggling young girl saying something along the lines of "wow my school loves this song! Xo" etc..

James said (March 2, 2009):

Henry, Great article..read your latest about Che and the commies. Communism is Feudalism, with a modern twist. Feudalism wouldn't have been accepted cause of History's bad slant on it...however Communism can seem appealing to those that are"downtrodden" or are tired of what isn't working politically. Keep the truth flowing man. Maybe the great "solar storm" predicted for 2012 will be the catalyst for them coming out of their bunkers and making a "Brave New World" for the Rothschild's??

Bert said (March 1, 2009):

a small FYI, re Ché

According to the Pentagon's own internal history of Castro (see links below), prepared for U.S. Army by CIA for advanced political training (indoctrination) of Pentagon Special Ops insurgency forces (which since their inception have always been agents of cold-war terrorism, implementing Trotsky's post-1921 plan for global communism through state-sponsored terrorism, cold-war terrorism occurring world-wide wherever the Pentagon went, post 1947):

Castro and his rag tag bunch of revolutionaries got their insurgency training in Mexico -- while guests of the owner of a farm/plantation in the environ of Mexico City, which comprised 60 square MILES of land area, and which had guard towers at its property corners and walls along its boundaries. Someone who is familiar with the Mexico City area will probably know exactly who Castro's host was -- my hunch is that it belonged(?) to United Fruit Company, owned by the Dulles brothers, Allen and John Foster.

Also note that just before Castro (the 1950s bearded invincible one, created as a Pentagon personalismos, much like Osama of today, now a bearded uncatchable one) ousted Batista (with the help of Major Henry Morgan, U.S. Army Special Forces, whose Russian wife now receives his full pension benefits, thanks to W.), Batista was organizing to create a sovereign bank -- the Development Bank of Cuba would create its own credit and currency, in the fashion of Hamilton and Lincoln and Kennedy, to finance internal development of Cuba, with special emphasis on local agriculture, mining and industry. Castro (financed by Eugene Meyer, David Rockefeller, et al, by sale of Cuban Revolutionary War Bonds, which were printed up in Mexico City, while E. Howard Hunt was station chief there, while Clay Shaw and Brian Ferry were running their New Orleans-to-Mexico City Import-Export company) shelved Batista's law for creation of a sovereign Bank for Cuba, and instead made the Cuban people agriculturally dependent on the global financial system, trading sugar cane produced on "state owned" farm plantations, for food stuffs that Cubans could better have grown on their own family farms, with domestic financing.

The Castro-Batista fight also gets into the split between the 3rd International and 4th International. Castro was Trotskyite 4th International, whereby global one-world government is implemented by state-sponsored terrorism. Batista, was more of a Hoover-Lenin communist. Jane Degras' books on the records and publications of the Third International, list Batista as the official delegate of the Communist Party of Cuba to the Third International's meetings in Russia.

"Free" trade, and "free" love, and not unrelated. There is little freedom to be found in either, because both attempt to bury the question of freedom to reproduce, either economically, or bio-cognitively as the case may be.

"The rich ruleth over the poor, and the borrower is servant to the lender." - Proverbs 22:7

Ever wonder just how it is that the supposedly "smartest people on earth", the international banksters, could possibly have gotten it so terribly, terribly wrong?

Ever wonder why Barack Hussein Obama has but one basic facial expression, a kind of smug, condescending arrogance, no matter the particular "photo op" in which he is involved?

One could almost accept such a pose, if he had any prior experience in handling anything remotely comparable to the current world financial meltdown, but he does not. Any sane person in such a position should be terrified at the impossibility of the task set before him, even as the Chairman of the Federal Reserve often appears to be.

One could almost accept such a pose from such a grossly unqualified "President", if the "advisers" and "deputies" he appointed to run "his" government had any such comparable experience, but they do not. But they are almost equally, smug, arrogant and condescending, apparently equally unaware of the impossibility of saving this nation and the world from its obvious fate.

One could almost accept such a pose from such a grossly-unqualified "President" AND from his equally grossly-unqualified assistants, if they had somehow, despite their individual and corporate cluelessness had somehow managed to put forth an economic and fiscal plan that actually had any prospect of stemming the hemorrhaging life's blood of this nation and the world, but they have not.

Having exhausted all of the obvious reasons which might justify such an attitude on the part of the "President" and his "staff" and found them utterly inadequate to explain their behavior, we make bold to suggest the real reason for it: Obama & Company are smug because their real plan is right on track!

Obama's task, as set before him by his Illuminatist handlers is simply this: to serve as a figurehead, overseeing the self-destruction of the world's existing financial systems, so that they, the hidden holders of the world's true wealth (precious metals, land, oil, etc.), can acquire the defaulted assets (homes, businesses, assets of nations) for a tiny percentage of their original values, and finally come to rule the world they have so long coveted.

Do not be deceived any further. Do not confuse the employees and shareholders of the banking institutions which are on the point of ruin, with the real international banksters who rule the world. Their names appear on no corporate letterheads that you or I ever heard of, they sit on no charitable boards of trustees, they hold no elective public offices. But they absolutely control those who do.

Obama's characteristic smugness therefore derives from a – for him – delicious irony: that a Kenyan Negro who is not even a citizen of the United States of America could actually deceive a majority of its voters, be elected its "President", AND be charged with overseeing the enslavement of the entire (largely white) world.

For a Barack Hussein Obama, it just doesn't get any better than that.

Jean said (March 1, 2009):

Thanks for good article. I have a nephew who is a "progressive activist" in the local Democratic party. He has a huge poster of Che in his office, thankfully he works for and offices with his father who apparently also thinks it is cute to have that poster.

He was the lowest of the low and as I understand it he was a street protester, agitator, provacateur, and delinqunet in South America in the employ of the communists (bankers, Illuminati) even as a very young teenager.

I read Jack Cashill's Hookwinked in which he described how brutal filth Che and his band of rebels in the swamps and camps of Cuba saw that a young boy about 9 years old in the camp had taken an extra piece of bread and Che just shot and killed him. Che's son was named Vladimir.

I would think that all these young "progressives" now seeing what an elitist liar and puppet Barak Obama is would begin to wake up to the bankruptcy of their lefty delusions, but I guess their I V Kool Aid is still attached and flowing strong.

Lynda said (February 28, 2009):

All very true. Your essay thought provokes me to start digging into the history of these Latin American Revolutions. Trotsky was in Mexico. My hypothesis is that all these Revolutionaries trained at the school for the "Great" Revolution inaugurated in France 1879. This was the Grand Orient Lodge founded by the Rothschild Tribunal about 5 years before the French Revolution. Lenin trained there and so did Garibaldi. I'll just bet you anything that Bro Fidel and Bro Che are among the illustrious alumni.

The skull and cross bones was the emblem of the Knights Templar before it became the insignia of Skull and Bones. The symbol of the Revolution is the X of the crossed blades which become the shears cutting the social fabric according to the Political agenda.

Dave said (February 28, 2009):

My first interest in Che Guevara was in the idea that he was the villain of America. When you look at what American has done to itself and most other countries it is hard to not look for something to symbolize the opposite. I bought a Che book a few years ago to understand what he was about but lost interest very quickly. I would say that the young rebels you speak of also are looking for a counter-hero. There is no one to look up to and there is no one to lead a counter movement. I have no opinion on Che as I never did finish the book but your article has tainted my view of this counter-hero. There will be no revolution without a figurehead leading the masses. Without a revolution we are all doomed.

Since the time of Aristotle there has essentially been the same political systems. Communism is relatively new if Marx did create the philosophy. I am still bitter over propaganda on political systems. One day long ago I woke up and realized that Communism wasn't a literal evil physical creature but a flawed concept. An idea. Why is it that over all this time so few systems have been created? I prefer the blank page approach when dealing with problems. Identify our problem and figure out how are we going to deal with it. I no longer subscribe to any established ideas. It seems weak minded to only rely on what has already been tried and failed.

Tim said (February 28, 2009):

Self-defined 'communists' may have this drive, but the political ideology behind the word (whilst flawed) does not include 'world domination' via imposition - but does imagine that reasonable people will end up with communism as their ideology of choice. This assumption, coupled with nefarious ideas like 'false consciousness' and vanguardism, tends to create an institutional dynamic that seeks domination anyway.

However, capitalism similarly has it's own implicit dynamics, which achieve similar ends. I'd reword the quote thus:

"[Capitalists] always present their demented drive for world domination in terms of self-interested, and, by conning the common people into a foolish belief that they too can take their share, reputedly ultimately serves the common people. VERY surprisingly, plenty of suckers are ready to swallow this bait. But, why do these dupes include the US corporate media establishment?"

"Whoever you vote for the government wins", but as puppets of unaccountable corporate control freaks. Not for nothing was the Soviet interpreted by many as 'state capitalism'.

I worked out long ago that if either 'communism' as defined by the quote or capitalism win out, then we are all doomed. Let's fight hierarchy, dominance and capital - we might salvage something. Che is an easy 'opposite' extreme to what we have (that is failing), but we need to deny both extremes, and break the cycle. A real commune-ist / anarchist society on the European model imagines hierarchy and dominant elites would fail in competition with genuinely empowered and informed individuals (perhaps optimistically).

Steve said (February 28, 2009):

I been reading about the plans [on many websites] for the NWO, Freemasons, Jewish / British elite, central bankers, Cecil Rhodes, even such a thing as the Cecil family [different from Cecil Rhodes as being the actual secret chief top illuminati family], but for some reason after reading your article on "Che! The West's Fatal Embrace of Communism" I actually felt fear, because the realisation came over me just how vastly developed and matured is the control of these occult Elite. It is scary!

The only thing I can say is, "come Lord Jesus!"

Henry, the New Covenant says, "Luke 21:34-36 (New International Version) 34"Be careful, or your hearts will be weighed down with dissipation, drunkenness and the anxieties of life, and that day will close on you unexpectedly like a trap. 35For it will come upon all those who live on the face of the whole earth. 36Be always on the watch, and pray that you may be able to escape all that is about to happen, and that you may be able to stand before the Son of Man". Although many will lose their lives God will hear the prayers of his "beloved" and will protect many as well. It could simply mean protection from the so called tribulation 3.5 years of Revelation, after the beast power/NWO head calls himself God. I speak this to myself and ask that you consider speaking it yourself. Our Messiah did come Henry, all we have to do is accept Him / Jesus and not one being can harm us unless God allows it. There is a verse in Revelation that indicates Christians will not be greatly hammered by this NWO till after this beast anti-Christ says he is God in the newly built temple in Jerusalem.

Peter said (February 28, 2009):

Quote: We'll never know what we have missed in terms of cultural works that boost our sense of who we are and where we should be going.

This is very a very true and deep insight that virtually never comes up or is discussed anywhere. It's also the reason why people aware of it can and should be permanently angry with that filthy bankster racketeering cabal at the root of all this evil. A late friend of mine was 100% correct when he said that EVERYTHING is their fault. All wars, the state of the world today, our cultural deprivation, and last but not least our current economic debacle. If that doesn't justify hanging all of them and their cronies, down to the last one, I don't know what does.

Tom said (February 28, 2009):

It would be wonderful if you weren't so on target. Obama is clearly what you say, a man clued into the needed "change." And it ain't anything one would want for oneself and family. Watching "our" incredible bankers pull off their heist is something. And to whom does one complain? Nobody's listening. Obama has a huge PR machine going; the one thing it isn't going to do is listen to "the people." Now I suppose we get 8 years of O. Ho hum. It's like watching paint dry.

Richard said (February 28, 2009):

It is becoming quite obvious. The Bankers and the United States government are attempting to pick a fight with those who are not going to go along with the destruction of the US Constitution, and the creation of an obviously communist America. They become more and more bold every day. Our congressman and senators don't care what most of the voters think at all. They have their retirement in the bag. Its only a matter of time before a certain cross section of Americans snap! This stimulus plan, and the last one under Bush show how much our opinions, and our votes, do not matter to them. They will draw out the troublemakers and annihilate them. As a veteran, I have seen the weapons they have, there is no hiding from them anymore. Ask any Iraqi that gets splattered all over the pavement by a chain gun on an apache helicopter from 2 miles away. We are toast. all our troops are out of country, and out of touch with what is happening to our country.
