How come Che tee shirts never have a picture of Stalin on the back?
Politics at 25 April 2008 07:04:37
QAm I going to have to buy a whole other tee shirt?
AFor a mass murderer Che sure has a lot of fans. Castro was worried about Che becoming too powerfull so he sent him down to south america to fight a losing battle with an inadequate force. After Che was killed Castro made him a matryr of the revolution.180 DOCUMENTED VICTIMS OF CHÉ GUEVARA IN CUBA: 1957 TO 1959 From: Armando M. Lago, Ph.D., Cuba. The Human Cost of Social Revolutions, unedited Manuscript pending publication. Information provided by the TRUTH RECOVERY ARCHIVE ON CUBA an undertaking of the FREE SOCIETY PROJECT, INC. The exact number of Che’s Cuban victims has not been verified, but include people he personally executed and those put to death under his orders. Che’s biographers consistently report that he sent thousands to the firing squad. Over 4,000 deaths are documented to have taken place in Cuba, mostly firing squad execution, in the first three years after Fidel Castro’s takeover (1959-1962). Che Guevara was one of the regime’s chief executioners during this period and is said to have acknowledged ordering "several thousand" executions. All took place without affording the victims fair trials and due process of law. The following list is not exhaustive and only includes cases for which historic reference is known. Names are cited as reported; dates and additional details for most are available. Combat deaths caused by Che in Cuba and killings in countries where he led guerrilla operations have not been tallied. 14 executed by Che in the Sierra Maestra during the anti-Batista guerrilla struggle (1957-1958): 1.

Who was believed to kill Oscar Romero and why?
Government at 17 May 2010 10:05:44
QI know something like the government but i dont know. Who was believed to kill them and why was he killed
ARomero was shot by an M-16 assault rifle on March 24, 1980, while celebrating Mass at a small chapel located in a hospital called "La Divina Providencia", one day after a sermon where he had called on Salvadoran soldiers, as Christians, to obey God's higher order and to stop carrying out the government's repression and violations of basic human rights. According to an audio-recording of the Mass, he was shot while elevating the chalice at the end of the Eucharistic rite. When he was shot, his blood spilled over the altar.It is believed that the assassins were members of a death squad. This view was supported in 1993 by an official U.N. report, which identified the man who ordered the killing as former Major and School of the Americas graduate Roberto D'Aubuisson.[11] He had also planned to overthrow the government in a coup. Later he founded the political party Nationalist Republican Alliance (ARENA), and organized death squads that systematically carried out politically-motivated assassinations and other human rights abuses in El Salvador. Álvaro Rafael Saravia, a former captain in the Salvadoran Air Force, was chief of security for Roberto D'Aubuisson and an active member of these death squads. In 2003, a U.S. human rights organization, the Center for Justice and Accountability, filed a civil action against Saravia. In 2004, he was found liable by a US District Court under the Alien Tort Claims Act (ATCA) (28 U.S.C. § 1350) for aiding, conspiring, and participating in the assassination of Archbishop Romero. Saravia was ordered to pay $10 million dollars for extrajudicial killing and crimes against humanity pursuant to the ATCA. Doe v. Rafael Saravia, 348 F. Supp. 2d 1112 (E.D. Cal. 2004) (providing an excellent account of the events leading up, and subsequent, to Archbishop Romero's death).Romero is buried in the Metropolitan Cathedral of San Salvador (Catedral Metropolitana de San Salvador). The funeral mass (rite of visitation and requiem) on March 30, 1980, in San Salvador was attended by more than 250,000 mourners from all over the world. Viewing this attendance as a protest, Jesuit priest John Dear has said, "Romero’s funeral was the largest demonstration in Salvadoran history, some say in the history of Latin America."During the ceremony, a smoke bomb exploded on the Cathedral square (Plaza Gerardo Barrios) and subsequently there were rifle-fire shots that came from surrounding buildings, including the National Palace. Many people were killed by gunfire and during the following mass panic; official sources talk of 31 overall casualties, journalists indicated between 30 and 50 dead.[11] Some witnesses claimed it was government security forces that threw bombs into the crowd, and army sharpshooters, dressed as civilians, that fired into the chaos from the balcony or roof of the National Palace. However, there are contradictory accounts as to the course of the events and "probably, one will never know the truth about the interrupted funeral."[11] This proved to be a turning point in the history of the Salvadoran conflict, a peak in the power of popular organizations aligned with the left, whose popularity declined after this event under the suspicion that they attempted to capitalize on this tragic event for political gain.Twenty-five years later, the BBC recalled the horror:"Tens of thousands of mourners who had gathered for Romero's funeral Mass in front of the cathedral in San Salvador were filmed fleeing in terror as army gunners on the rooftops around the square opened fire.... One person who was there told us he remembered the piles of shoes left behind by those who escaped with their lives."As the gunfire continued, the body was buried in a crypt beneath the sanctuary. Even after the burial, people continued to line up to pay homage to their martyred prelate.[1][12][13][14][15]On March 24, 2010—the thirtieth anniversary of Romero's death—Salvadoran president Mauricio Funes offered an official state apology for Romero's assassination. Speaking before Romero's family, representatives of the Catholic Church, diplomats, and government officials,[16] Fuenes said those involved in the assassination "…unfortunately acted with the protection, collaboration or participation of state agents".

Qi need to know who are the famous people in salvador cause im doing a project for my spanish class and this is one of our question. i need three famous people.
APick three from this list: -The national hero of El Salvador is Father José Matías Delgado (1768–1833), who raised the first call for independence. A renowned political leader was Manuel José Arce (1786–1847), who fought against the Mexican empire of Iturbide and was the first president of the United Provinces of Central America. Gerardo Barrios Espinosa (1809–65) was a liberal president during the 19th century.Prominent Salvadoran literary figures of the 19th century were Juan José Cañas (1826–1912), a poet and diplomat and the author of the Salvadoran national anthem, and Francisco E. Galindo (1850–1900), a poet and dramatist.Writers of note in the 20th century include Alberto Masferrer (1865–1932), an essayist and poet; Juan Ramón Uriarte (1875–1927), an essayist and educator; and Salvador Salazar Arrué (1899–1975). Juan Francisco Cisneros (1823–78) is a nationally recognized painter.Key figures in Salvadoran politics of the 1970s and 1980s are José Napoleón Duarte (1926–90) and Roberto D'Aubuisson Arrieta (1943–92). The assassinated Roman Catholic Archbishop Oscar Arnulfo Romero y Galdames (1917–80) was well known as a defender of human rights.

a different speculation on the 2012 madness?
Mythology & Folklore at 20 December 2009 07:12:50
Qthey say nostradamus himself has predicted the end of the world in 2012. herez my question: i have read books of his prediction(Centuries) and his predictions have been interpreted till 7000AD where he says that the dead will walk on earth. so if he has made predictions till 7000AD..how the hell do these idiots claim him to have predicted all this bullshit?i agree with brian...nostradamus myt be a sly way of gaining credibility.
AYes, both this 2012 fantasy and Nostradamus hysteria are both bunk.Don't be Scammed!There are some things you need to know about the rumors of the "end of the world" or "Planet X" or "Nibiru" in 20121.The "2012 doomsday" is a hoax, a fraud, and a con job. It is a cruel and disgusting lie being promoted by scam artists after money; First they scare people to death that something terrible is going to happen, then publish books and videos on "how to survive the apocalypse". Get the scam?! You're not going to fall for something like that… right?The problem is that some people will fall for the scam. Some people will believe it. Some people will waste their money buying fake information on "how to survive".

They are keepers of time,authorities on remarkable calendars that are ancient,elegant and relevant.Mr. Barrios is a historian, an anthropologist andinvestigator. After studying with traditional eldersfor 25 years since the age of 19, he has also became aMayan Ajq’ij, a ceremonial priest and spiritual guide,Eagle Clan.Years ago, along with his brother, Gerardo, Carlosinitiated an investigation into the different Mayancalendars. He studied with many teachers. He says hisbrother Gerardo interviewed nearly 600 traditionalMayan elders to widen their scope of knowledge.“Anthropologists visit the temple sites,” Mr. Barriossays, “and read the inscriptions and make up storiesabout the Maya, but they do not read the signscorrectly. It’s just their imagination… Other peoplewrite about prophecy in the name of the Maya. They saythat the world will end in December 2012. The Mayanelders are angry with this. The world will not end. Itwill be transformed. The indigenous have thecalendars, and know how to accurately interpret it,not others.”The Mayan Calendars comprehension of time, seasons,and cycles has proven itself to be vast andsophisticated. The Maya understand 17 differentcalendars, some of them charting time accurately overa span of more than ten million years. The calendarthat has steadily drawn global attention since 1987 iscalled the Tzolk’in or Cholq’ij. Devised ages ago andbased on the cycle of the Pleiades, it is still heldas sacred. With the indigenous calendars, nativepeople have kept track of important turning points inhistory. For example, the day keepers who study thecalendars identified an important day in the year OneReed, Ce Acatal, as it was called by the Mexicans.That was the day when an important ancestor wasprophesied to return, “coming like a butterfly.” Inthe western calendar, the One Reed date correlates toEaster Sunday, April 21, 1519 the day that HernandoCortez and his fleet of 11 Spanish galleons arrivedfrom the East at what is today called Vera Cruz,Mexico.When the Spanish ships came toward shore, nativepeople were waiting and watching to see how it wouldgo. The billowing sails of the ships did indeed remindthe scouts of butterflies skimming the ocean surface.In this manner was a new era initiated, an era theyhad anticipated through their calendars. The Mayatermed the new era the Nine Bolomtikus, or nine Hellsof 52 years each. As the nine cycles unfolded, landand freedom were taken from the native people. Diseaseand disrespect dominated. What began with the arrivalof Cortez, lasted until August 16, 1987 - a date manypeople recall as Harmonic Convergence. Millions ofpeople took advantage of that date to make ceremony insacred sites, praying for a smooth transition to a newera, the World of the Fifth Sun.From that 1987 date until now, Mr. Barrios says, wehave been in a time when the right arm of thematerialistic world is disappearing, slowly butinexorably. We are at the cusp of the era when peacebegins, and people live in harmony with Mother Earth.We are no longer in the World of the Fourth Sun, butwe are not yet in the World of the Fifth Sun. This isthe time in-between, the time of transition.As we pass through transition there is a colossal,global convergence of environmental destruction,social chaos, war, and ongoing Earth changes.All this, Mr. Barrios says, was foreseen via thesimple, spiral mathematics of the Mayan calendars. “Itwill change,” Mr. Barrios observes. “Everything willchange.” He said Mayan Daykeepers view the Dec. 21,2012 date as a rebirth, the start of the World of theFifth Sun. It will be the start of a new era resultingfrom and signified by the solar meridian crossing thegalactic equator, and the earth aligning itself withthe center of the galaxy.At sunrise on December 21, 2012 for the first time in26,000 years the Sun rises to conjunct theintersection of the Milky Way and the plane of theecliptic. This cosmic cross is considered to be anembodiment of the Sacred Tree, The Tree of Life, atree remembered in all the world’s spiritualtraditions. Some observers say this alignment with theheart of the galaxy in 2012 will open a channel forcosmic energy to flow through the earth, cleansing itand all that dwells upon it, raising all to a higherlevel of vibration.This process has already begun, Mr. Barrios suggested.“Change is accelerating now, and it will continue toaccelerate.” If the people of the earth can getppl lyk k_soccer, i kno its not ending in 2012, i wuz postting for ppl who are still questioning my people who "prophesied" this day, so dont post mean stuff im just trying to give guidance to the confusedgarrettsambo, i kno rite but the thing is we didnt say it, we said its a cahnge not the end of the world, not a planet colliding, no new planet no comet no tidal wave, nothing we didnt say it, some freak idiot did trying to make money off of usthanks jplatt ill do that next time, yea u guys i have info but the rest i in the following link http://www.redrat.net/thoughts/prophets/, but seriously just dont believe all the hype, people are just trying to make money off of thisif they were wiped out, why are we still here?

AThank you for repeating this information. I hadn't read the essay but the information wasn't new to me. I do, seriously, appreciate your bringing it to our attention. That said, when you quote at length (which you do) from ANYTHING the least you can do is provide a link to the original essay.
