Mr. Ruben Salazar was a renown Mexican American journalist, who for many years
worked for the L.A. Times. The L.A. Times assigned him as a correspondent overseas
and in Mexico. He lived in Mexico with his Anglo-American wife and three children.
In the 1960's during the Olympics which were held in Mexico City, after a revolt,
Ruben Salazar was mysteriously reassigned by the L.A. Times to work in Los Angeles,
an insult for a respected correspondent to have to go sit behind a desk in L.A.
For years, Mr. Salazar, who was not at all a threat to the government, had been
extremely investigated by the authorities and the FBI, organizations that "had
nothing better to do". Mr. Ruben Salazar then seized the opportunity to become a
journalistic voice for Chicanos in L.A., although he was not brought up as a Chicano,
but as a middle class Hispanic in Texas.
The man had a lot of integrity, to the point that he, towards the beginning of
his career, pretended that he was drunk in order to get arrested and find out
what Mexican Americans and Chicanos really experience locked up behind bars.
Back in Los Angeles in the late 1960's, he began reporting cases of what
appeared to be police brutality or Color of Law towards the Chicano population,
so the LAPD was not very "feliz".
He became a true leader and a true voice for Hispanics. I learned about his
mysterious death because I listened to a video by then radio hostess Mae Brussell
regarding the death of Freddie Prinze, Sr., who like Ruben Salazar, was silenced
only because both were true voices for Latinos. In fact, I am convinced that the
U.S. government manipulated a group of Chicanos to publicly protest against
Prinze, Sr., a set up, a Gag Law type of tactic aimed to create racial division
among Hispanics.
Well, during the Chicano Moratorium, the Chicanos seemed to be really peaceful.
The government, I strongly believe, infiltrated someone in the crowd to act with
destructive behavior, so that other Chicanos would fall for the trap and imitate. I
really believe that if the government had not interfered, the Chicano Moratorium
in 1970 would have resulted in a peaceful event.
A coward or man wearing a red vest, who served as an anonymous witness, walked
up to the Sheriff's Deputies standing by the Moratorium crowds, made up a story that
an armed man had walked into a nearby bar known as the Silver Dollar Bar,
giving the LASD Deputy an excuse to go into the bar and throw a 9 inch projectile
outside of the bar, which strangely enough, did not kill those colleagues who
accompanied Salazar, a sign that this psychopathic act was premeditated; the
projectile must have been purposely aimed.
According to the LAPD, the coward in the red vest, asked to make a report in
relation to Mr. Ruben Salazar's death, requested to remain anonymous for his own
safety. In my opinion, the coward's identity was concealed because he was working
for the government, a government that wanted to eliminate Ruben Salazar
since, unfortunately, there is a group of greedy people in the U.S. trying to control
and making sure that Chicanos and other Latinos lack representation and leadership,
who want people to think that we're all a bunch of riot makers and pot smokers.
The popular Actor Freddie Prinze, Sr. did not commit suicide. Like Ruben Salazar,
he was targeted. Both men really cared about making a difference for Hispanics.
I have written "Ms. Quixote Goes Country - Raised on the Marxist Frontier", a
satirical novel based on the incongruity of the shocking death of Freddie Prinze, Sr.
At the time, I did not know about Mae Brussell's report on the death of Freddie
Prinze, Sr. Once I did, I realized that my novel echoed Mae Brussell's truth.
Mae Brussell, who by the way died a tragic death that did not seem to be a
coincidence, also questioned the events surrounding the death of Ruben Salazar.
