Ninety-six-year-old Dolores Huerta, Chavez's closest advisor, tells the Times, "Mr. Chavez drove her out to a secluded grape field, parked and raped her inside the vehicle." Huerta, who was 36 at the time, said "she chose not to report the assault to the police because of their hostility toward the movement, and she feared that no one within the union would believe her."

Several young girls ended up as victims of Chavez, who used his power and the girls' hero worship of him to abuse them.

Article author Moran honors what he believes Chavez accomplished. Maybe Moran or his family benefited from the UFW.

This farmer's son sees those "accomplishments" as crap-coated by Chavez's and his Dem pols' broad-broom slander of the many farmers who did NOT abuse their migrant workers. My father was among the numerous non-abusers Chavez slandered. These revelations, IMO, are of another layer of crap coating Chavez's "accomplishments", his abuse of the women and girls he was supposedly benefiting and the complicity in that abuse of the women coworkers he raped. And even after his death, the union Leaders and activists still hid what he was to keep the gravy in the gravy train of his icon-hood flowing.

A hawk on immigration
Nearly three decades after his death in 1993, Chávez’s legacy has been solidified – but it’s also been simplified.

And in this simplification, one really interesting aspect of his life is usually overlooked: On the issue of immigration, Cesar Chávez was a hawk – a hawk with convictions and rhetoric so strong that they would put him far outside of the political mainstream today.

In the mid-70s, Chávez launched what he called the Illegals Campaign, an effort to raise awareness about illegal immigration and report undocumented workers to federal authorities.

”The idea was – much like we’ve heard today – ‘Well, the Border Patrol isn’t doing a good job at keeping people from crossing illegally. So we’re going to have to go out and do it ourselves,’ “ Pawel said.

Former FBI Director James Comey has been subpoenaed in the wide-ranging "grand conspiracy" case against the ex-officials who investigated and prosecuted President Trump, two sources with knowledge of the situation tell Axios.
Why it matters: The investigation has produced more than 130 subpoenas since cranking up last year, the sources say, and targets top officials who worked under former presidents Obama and Biden.

The officials, including Comey, have all decried the investigation as political persecution and lawfare.

Zoom in: The Trump administration's grand conspiracy theory posits that Democratic officials bent the rules, broke the law and lied under oath to investigate, prosecute and otherwise undermine Trump from his election in 2016 through his federal indictments in 2023.

The Comey subpoena, issued last week, relates to his alleged role in the drafting of a January 2017 Intelligence Community Assessment (ICA) concerning Russia's election interference that favored Trump.

The assessment referenced the now-widely discredited Steele Dossier, whose inclusion "ran counter to fundamental tradecraft principles and ultimately undermined the credibility of a key judgment," according to a "Tradecraft Review" completed in June under Trump's current CIA director, John Ratcliffe.

Ratcliffe then referred Comey and former CIA director John Brennan for prosecution.

We covered this yesterday but today there's a follow up focused on Dolores Huerta, the co-founder of the UFW. She is now 95-years-old and for the first time this week has revealed that she was the victim of sexual assault by Cesar Chavez. She says she stayed quiet all this time because she didn't want to hurt the movement.

she followed him outside. It was common for them to have meetings in the car — Mr. Chavez worried that his office was bugged. He drove her to a secluded grape field on the outskirts of town, she said, and assaulted her...

“I saw him, again, as my boss, as my hero, as, you know, somebody that would do the impossible,” she said. “I never talked about it to anybody and the reason I didn’t is because I just didn’t want to hurt the movement.”

“Don’t say nothing, dilapidated bitch,” one male union board member could be heard telling her during a meeting in April 1978, a recording of which was reviewed by The Times. He then told her to “shut up” as Mr. Chavez berated her with even worse invective.

This is why Democrats were so mad about the money from USAID getting shut off

US Intelligence intercepted communication that “a foreign power was discussing routing USAID money to Joe Biden's campaign in 2024”

USAID was a Democrat global money laundering operation

they came home with a broom tied to the mast, that says it all!
