Notes from the Resistance
Agustin Blazquez’s THE KILLER FLIES OF LUXOR, a novel about an artist’s escape from Cuba into a dream-world of art and movies, illustrates Braque’s insight that “Art is a wound turned into light.” [More]
Readers should remember him from here and from WOG’s previous incarnation.
I’m told that “the book he was working on at the end of his life will be published November 1st and is now available for preorder…”
As always, I never ask readers to support anything I don’t support myself:
It is with great sadness we report that Agustin Blazquez passed away October 27th, 2022 in Bethesda, Maryland at age 78, from a stroke. Agustin was my dear friend of thirty years, and also my artistic collaborator as producer-director of The Trump Effect: Deprogramming the American Mind (2017). [More]
Laurence Jarvik gives a comprehensive and fitting tribute to a man whose loss everyone who values freedom should mourn.
From our friends at Spider & the Fly:
Agustin Blazquez, Founding Member of ACAT’s Speakers Bureau – R.I.P.
Agustin fled Cuban communism and eventually settled in the United States. His tenacity and insight into the communist mind are sorely missed.
Agustin produced numerous films underlining the deficiencies of communism in theory and practice. Don’t miss ‘Che Guevara: Castro’s Executioner’ above (tens of thousands of views!), and ‘Promises, Promises – How the Communists Betrayed the Cuban People’ on ACAT’s Videos page.

The story of Agustin’s exodus from Cuba: I was leaving all the past, both my family which I loved and suffering and fear of persecution.
Love letter to America: I love and I’m proud of America because it’s a country that opens its doors and gives you a second chance to begin a new life with freedom of choice.
Notes on the harassment of the political Right in America today which is straight out of the communist playbook – ‘Acts of Repudiation’
He was also a valued WarOnGuns Correspondent, first on the original blog and then here.
I was struck by a recent article in the “popular press” on “beloved influential icons we’ve lost in 2022” and noted the lead-off was a rapper shot to death by cronies during a bowling alley craps game. I could only shake my head at the pH factor absurdity of how “our” manipulating cultural narrative drivers direct public attention.
That, of course, is part of a plan.
When the self-important “Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences” goes through its “complete” list of departed luminaries at its next awards ceremony, you can bet the documentary filmmaker who deserved recognition and honor throughout his career — and a posthumous lifetime achievement award now — will remain unmentioned as the glitterati goes about its task of furthering cultural degeneracy while lauding fellow perverts and subversives.
It’s up to us to honor and remember the man. You can start by setting aside some time to learn about his work, and then by sharing it.
