MeToo has come for Cesar Chavez, rather late in the game
Chavez used to be the darling of the left, back when I was in law school. Now he’s apparently a pariah after being accused – long after his death – of having sexually abused young girls many years ago:
The public shaming over that leftist labor hero, the late United Farm Workers Union co-founder César Chávez, has continued apace as detestable allegations of child sexual abuse and even rape have been making the rounds following a New York Times exposé published on Wednesday.
The accusations by his former ally, Dolores Huerta, are horrific and have caused celebrations of the planned March 31st “César Chávez Day” in multiple states to be altered or canceled outright.
I admit to being somewhat puzzled as to why this is being revealed now. Whether it’s true or not is unknown and will almost certainly never be known, but if I had to guess I’d say it’s probably true. Even though one might have thought these women would have come out with their stories back when MeToo had its heyday, the delay can be at least partly explained by Chavez’s longtime status as leftist icon. Who wants to point out his feet of clay?
I’ve read several people on the right who said that Chavez’s cancellation comes now because of his history of being against illegal immigration. That’s his real crime against the left of today, and the reason he’s being exposed. I think that’s as good an explanation as any and probably better than most. But it’s not as though his anti-illegals position has been a secret all this time. From 2015:
For every positive image of Chavez, though, there’s another one that paints a different picture, as Miriam Pawel brings to light in her meticulously researched, NEH-funded biography, The Crusades of Cesar Chavez. The union organizer was vehemently opposed to undocumented immigrant workers, looked with disdain upon the material comforts his own union members yearned for, and slipped into despotic isolation at his California mountain compound, La Paz, purging the UFW of many of his closest friends, allies, and mentors.
Well, now they’re purging him.
Arabella Partners sent up the bat signal.

It’s a reasonable wager than journalists and academicians who studied Chavez and his organization have been covering for him.
They’re trying to forestall an ad campaign for any anti-immigration candidate that would feature quotes by a famous Latino leader.
Just make him INfamous.
Some of the charges are hinky. For instance, the two supposed daughters? They have 9 other siblings who were fathered by at least 4 men. One of those men is Cesar’s brother, which makes DNA testing iffy, to say the least.
more evidence the Left is disgusting, dishonorable, smut-loving.
perhaps but the coordination, is suspicious, Dolores Huerta is like what was that Maoist era coup plotter, then the details, as john ziegler, don’t hold up in at least one account,
the notion of this mass immigration as a tool for agrobusiness was spelled out as far back as Ross McDonald’s Harper, back in 1996, strother martins cult leader was an usual vehicle, for this effort,
I don’t recall if hoover had any particular beef with the UFCW, for their leftist affiliations, he is the go to bete noire,

that was then, this is now, but it is much like the Stalinist, described in 1984, pursuing their Trotskyite foes, Jones, Rutherford, and Aaaronson,

except about israel, or christians, or second amendment partisans, or anticommunists,
we have seen how they have rehabilitated stalinism
It makes sense that he’s being attacked, since the Democrats are trying to legitimize illegal immigration, as part of their Cloward-Piven strategy.
Whether the allegations are true or false, “He raped me 50 years ago” is a bridge too far for me.
The sudden cancellation of César Chávez sure wasn’t on my dance card this past week. I’m no fan, although I knew of and appreciate his opposition to illegal immigration, but this mass anti-CC hysteria on the left is so disturbing. Who knows, maybe he was the pedophile people are claiming him to be but it’s way beyond something that can be proven, about a man who has been dead for 33 years.
Of course Dolores Huerta has been complicit in covering it all up for decades. Which she did for “the movement”, and there is a disturbing parallel with the covering up of the rape gangs in the UK.
The Memory Hole has always been necessary and useful.
true but orwell didn’t intend it as a how to manual,
strange days indeed, like the song goes,
or just another ending in y,

So now if anyone tries to point out that Caesar Chaves opposed illegal immigration they become tarred with rape of children.
Something about the great man behind the curtain …..
