Humberto Fontova

Humberto Fontova was born in Havana, Cuba. He and his family of 5 attempted to leave in 1961, but only 4 of them were successful. Humberto Fontova Sr. (author’s father) was grabbed by the milicianos. He yelled to Esther (mother) and the 3 kids (Humberto age 7, Patricia age 8, and Enrique age 5) to “Go ahead!….Whatever happens to me, I don’t want ya’ll growing up here!” The next day, from a cousin’s house in Miami, Esther called Cuba and found out that Humberto Sr. was in La Cabana, firing squad central where 2100 men and boys were murdered. Humberto Sr. stayed there for 3 months and then was released and returned to his family in New Orleans.

Humberto grew up in New Orleans. He graduated from the University of New Orleans with a degree in Political Science. He recieved his Masters Degree from Tulane University in Latin American Studies. He married Shirley Fontova and has three children, Monica, Michael and Robert. He is an avid hunter, fisherman and scuba diver. He has been writing for the hunting and fishing magazine: Louisiana Sportsman for the past twenty five years. He has also written for other magazines such as Sierra, Scuba Times and Bowhunter. In 2001 he wrote his first book, The Helldivers’ Rodeo; an extreme scuba diving and spear fishing adventure. Shortly after it’s release, Humberto appeared on 3 episodes of Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher. Other panel guests included Tom Green, Florence Henderson and James Coburn. In 2003 he released his second book, The Hellpig Hunt; a hunting adventure in the wild wetlands at the mouth of the Mississippi River. In 2005, he released his 3rd book which is a departure from his earlier writings into a more political genre, Fidel: Hollywood’s Favorite Tyrant. A political and emotional expose’ about Fidel Castro and the only totalitarian dictatorship in the Western Hemisphere. This book has been published in english and spanish. In early 2007, his 4th book was released. Exposing the Real Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots who Idolize Him; which has now been published in three languages, english, spanish and czech.

Humberto has appeared on such shows as The O’Reilly Factor with Bill O’Reilly, Hannity and Colmes, Fox and Friends, The Dennis Miller Show and various shows for Telemundo. He is constantly traveling across the country speaking at different events and universities. Humberto continuously writes articles for many news websites such as www.humaneventsonline.com, www.lewrockwell.com, www.newsmax.com and frontpagemag.com.

Exposing the Real Che Guevara and the Useful Idiots Who Idolize Him

Fontova gets right to the work of debunking familiar notions of Argentinan revolutionary Ernesto “Che” Guevera; by the end of the preface, he’s pinned 14,000 executions on Guevera and credited positive portrayals to the public relations work of Castro and the laziness of biographers. The critical attack continues throughout, combining the testimonies of former revolutionaries and Cuban refugees to assemble a damning portrait of a man lauded by everyone from Jean-Paul Sartre to Jon Lee Anderson. According to Fontova, the real Che was “a revolutionary Ringo Starr” who “fell in with the right bunch and rode their coattails to world fame.” Presenting a failed physician, an inept guerrilla and a hapless sycophant, Fontova adds insult to injury by claiming Che was “deathly afraid to drive a motorcycle.” Fontova’s charged language keeps things interesting, if occasionally dubious; midway through the book, after asserting that Che enjoyed killing dogs, Fontova concedes that, “You might put down your book here and think, this has to be propaganda.” Though propaganda probably colors any consideration of this controversial figure, Fontova makes a convincing case that, in the words of one former political prisoner, “There was something seriously wrong with Che Guevera.”

¿Cómo es posible que cientos de madres desesperadas prefieran meterse con sus hijos a bordo de una balsa en un mar infestado de tiburones a permanecer en el paraíso castrista?

Y cómo es posible que, al mismo tiempo, determinadas celebridades afirmen:

•El socialismo funciona. Creo que Cuba podría demostrarlo (Chevy Chase).
•Castro es muy moral y desinteresado […] uno de los hombres más sabios del mundo (Oliver Stone).
•Fidel, te quiero. Los dos tenemos las mismas iniciales. Los dos tenemos barba. Ambos tenemos poder y queremos usarlo con buenos propósitos (Francis Ford Coppola).
•El régimen de Castro ha sido un ejemplo que constituye una enseñanza para todos (Kofi Annan).

Humberto Fontova nos descubre y recuerda verdades sobre la Cuba de Castro demasiado incómodas para ciertas élites intelectuales: los atentados terroristas frustrados en Nueva York en 1962… Continue Reading

Fidel: Hollywood’s Favorite Tyrant

“Cuba’s own Elvis”—that’s what Dan Rather calls him. Funny name for a man who has threatened the United States with nuclear war, who has made common cause with Islamic terrorists against the United States, and whose people risk death to escape him. But there’s a lot that Hollywood liberals and other Fidel Castro admirers would rather you didn’t know about the dictator of Cuba—like how he imprisoned more people as a percentage of population than Hitler or Stalin; how Fidel’s firing squads killed thousands of Cubans; how Fidel’s subjects would rather inject themselves with AIDS than live under his tyranny….Continue Reading
