I think I need a weird news section

“A former CIA operative and Cuban exile plans to auction what he says is a lock of Che Guevara’s hair, snipped before the Argentinian revolutionary and friend of Fidel Castro was buried in 1967.

Gustavo Villoldo, 71, was involved in Guevara’s capture in the jungles of Bolivia, according to unclassified U.S. records and other documents. He plans to auction the hair and other items kept in a scrapbook since the joint CIA-Bolivian army mission 40 years ago.”

Ronaldo Cruz: Long-time Hispanic affairs official retires

Filed under [ Hispanic News ] [ People ] [ Religion ] [ California ] [ Los Angeles ]
Tags: , ,

“When Ronaldo Cruz first began working for the church, he thought of himself as a Chicano activist. He was involved with the farmworker and sanctuary movements and was running a social services agency that primarily served Mexican-Americans in Tucson, Ariz.

“I thought I was going to become the next Che Guevara,” the revolutionary, he joked about his younger self.

He never expected those interests and his lifelong involvement as a Catholic would lead to a 35-year career in the church — a combination of ministry and work which is ending at least temporarily as he leaves his job of 16 years as executive director of Hispanic affairs for the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. He was assistant director for several years before that.”

Maria Conchita Alonso Responds to Venezuelan President Hugo Chavezs Closing of the Country’s Longest Airing TV Network with 2 Minutes of Hate

Filed under [ Hispanic News ] [ Latinas ] [ Politics ] [ Press Releases ]
Tags: , , , , , , , , , ,

“The Latino Coalition has invited Maria Conchita Alonso to speak at its upcoming 2007 Small Business Economic Summit in Washington D.C. May 1-2 to respond to statements made by Hugo Chavez about the state of affairs in Venezuela, including his decision not to renew the license of Venezuela’s longest airing TV Network and the purchase of new high-tech weapons and surveillance systems from Russia.

Robert Deposada of the Coalition states, “The Coalition has a mandate to bring all sides to the arena and many stars, including Danny Glover, and according to Chavez, Oliver Stone, have shown public support for Hugo Chavez. We wanted to give Maria Conchita Alonso, a Venezuelan citizen, a forum to vocalize an opposing point of view.”

Maria Conchita says, “I thank The Latino Coalition for giving me this opportunity, as last year I was campaigning in Venezuela against Chavez, but the situation there has further deteriorated and I feel it is no longer safe for me, so I have taken the fight to film and am producing a movie called, TWO MINUTES OF HATE, which shows in real footage how, at the 2002 march Chavez’ assassins gunned down opposition protesters. Although Danny Glover and I did a film together, we have different points of view. I don’t think Sean Penn and Clint Eastwood, who work together, always share the same political views, although I do believe they express those views due to their caring and commitment. I respect all my fellow actors but I think I carry a more experiential voice, as I have already had to leave Cuba and Venezuela.”

“The film, which I am co-producing with BOBBY producer, Edward Bass, will utilize actual clips of Chavez coming over the airwaves in his comical and yet cynical manner,” says Maria Conchita. “The situation there has evolved to the point that Freedom House, a nongovernmental worldwide organization, ranks Venezuela second only to Cuba in terms of suppressing press freedom in the Americas,” she comments.

The writer, who wishes to remain anonymous but goes by the pseudonym of Jorge Tortoza, (in honor of one of the journalists assassinated by Chavez at the march) says, “This film is of course much different from BOBBY. In this case, the voice of the president is comical and yet frightening as he typifies a stereotypical dictator as in George Orwell’s 1984. The script is being held under tight security. We want to make sure Chavez will not see it in its finished form until he goes to the movie theater like everyone else.”

“Although many candidates and most probably George Bush will be at the event, I am not yet a US citizen and I am not endorsing any political figure,” says Maria. “However, a voice against Bush should not be a voice for Chavez. Sometimes, the public is just misled, for example in the case of Mao Tse Tung, in which both Richard Nixon and John Lennon were wearing Mao jackets while millions of artists and intellectuals were killed. Che Guevara, who has so many films immortalizing him, was afraid of motorcycles and was more of a homophobic than even Fidel Castro, and a professional assassin who loved his work, but is immortalized as if he were Gandhi.”

She continues, “Chavez, however, is much more dangerous. He will easily pass Fidel on the Forbes list as he has all the oil money at his disposal. Venezuelan press, newspapers, radio stations and TV are being shut down, and we are heading in the direction of Cuba where soon people will not even be allowed Internet access, and the children will be “owned” by the government. I decided to go to The Latino Coalition especially after Barbara Walters’ interview with Chavez. Barbara got back to me, but I did not succeed in convincing her to allow me an opportunity to give a factual rebuttal.”

Edward Bass states, “Maria Conchita has never been a sell out. As the most famous Venezuelan actress, if she was a ‘Chavista’, she could be riding on the gravy train and receiving the multi-million dollar grants that many are receiving from him. Her courage, even with her life in jeopardy, is a profound example of bravery. She is using her celebrity status and artistic ability to fight for those whose voices are muffled, they are second class citizens in their own country. They can’t go to the same beaches, hotels or stores that the ruling elite and cash-rich foreigners visit.

Bass continues, “With Maria, our production and financing entity, after looking at dozens of Latino based material put this one at the top, as it is not the same old storyline. Although this is based in Venezuela, it’s a love story and the backdrop is Venezuela as the sinking Titanic.”

Deposada also says, “Although The Latino Coalition is not here to take sides, we take pride in our ability to confront the issues, and we extend the invitation to actors such as Sean Penn, Tim Robbins, Danny Glover or whomever, and want to offer them equal time or an invitation to debate Maria Conchita.”

She concludes, “TWO MINUTES OF HATE” is far from a documentary. It is actually a beautiful story of two people in love, one from the Chavez camp, and one from the opposition, and we tried to give a fair and balanced view of the mistakes that were made in Venezuela that created the climate and void that allowed this dictator to enter the arena as Hitler did in the 30’s.”

Spotlight on Yul Vázquez

Filed under [ Entertainment ] [ Hispanic News ] [ People ]
Tags: , , , ,

“A great example of this is Yul Vázquez. You’ve undoubtedly seen him before, whether it be as part of the cast of Steven Soderbergh’s award-winning crime drama Traffic, playing a Cuban gangster in Michael Bay’s Bad Boys II, as Julia Roberts’ ex-fiance in Runaway Bride, or in his recurring role as Bob, the Hispanic homosexual, on the sitcom “Seinfeld.”

In the last year, Vázquez has been making the move from being a bit player to taking on more prominent supporting roles and even leads in a number of movies, whether it be reuniting with Steven Soderbergh and Benicio Del Toro in the Che Guevara biopic Guerilla or playing Russell Crowe’s fellow cop in Ridley Scott’s American Gangster or playing the lead in the indie horror movie Southern Gothic.”

“Two men entered Latino Books y Mas in Palm Springs on July 5 with video cameras and confronted the principal owner of the store, Tonia Bustamante-Ramirez, because she sells books and posters featuring Mexican revolutionary heroes Pancho Villa and Emiliano Zapata, and Cuban revolutionary Che Guevara.

Bustamante-Ramirez said the two men’s remarks and questions were intimidating, and the video was posted two days later on the Web site YouTube, on which users can post self-made videos. As of Thursday afternoon, nearly 1,400 people had viewed at least part of the video, which is nearly seven minutes long.”

Don’t Let This Movie Get Lost. Kathryn Jean Lopez on The Lost City & Cuba on National Review Online

Filed under [ Art y Culture ] [ Hispanic News ]
Tags: , , ,

“The Lost City is an intensely personal project for Garcia. An ode to his homeland, Cuba, it’s full of the passion Hispanic culture is known for””as he portrays family life, the social scene, and, of course, the politics of a troubled island.

The film is set in late-1950s Cuba, right on the eve of la revolución, and Garcia, who directed and stars, crashes straight into the myth of Che Guevara””¡Gracias a Dios! The Lost City has something for everyone: contagious music, a love story, family drama””and familiar faces in Bill Murray, playing to type, and Dustin Hoffman, playing a mobster. But it’s a love story unlike anything Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks or any chick-flick might bring you””here the love between a man and woman can’t escape the brutality of sacrifice and tyranny, and is but one love, where democracy is a deep and abiding one.”

Andy Garcia is Fed Up With People Who Glorify Che Guevara

Filed under [ Hispanic News ]
Tags: , ,

“Andy Garcia is urging fashion-conscious rebels to stop wearing T-shirts emblazoned with the image of Latino revolutionary Ernesto ‘Che’ Guevara because they remind Cubans of terrible times. The actor accepts that Guevara stands for rebellion and is seen as a hero to many, but he sees the revolutionary as a butcher who killed millions of his countrymen.

Argentine-born Guevara helped current Cuban leader Fidel Castro overthrow General Fulgencio Batista’s government in a guerrilla revolution in the late 1950s.”

“Or, Che Guevara est mortuus

Heard a Mexican-American caller last night on local talk radio berating the Cuban-American community for its lack of support of this week’s protests by La Raza, etal, around the country. His gripe, as you can imagine, was that according to him, Cuban “immigrants” get special treatment from the US government. And since we all speak Spanish, you see, we are all the same and thus, the Cuban-American community has betrayed their “Latino” and “Hispanic” brothers and sisters in arms because we didn’t support their cause while receiving said preferential treatment.”
