Correction re: Venceramos Brigade.
We do know some of the original US participants.
From wiki Venceramos Brigade page:
“The Venceremos Brigade is a politically motivated international organization founded in 1969 by members of the Students for a Democratic Society and officials of the Republic of Cuba.[1]
Carl Oglesby, Bernardine Dohrn, Julie Nichamin, Brian Murphy, Allen Young and other members of SDS were primarily responsible for the idea, organization and negotiations with Carlos Rafael Rodríguez[2] and other members of the Cuban government.
The first trip in November 1969 numbered 216[3] and left from Czechoslovakia to skirt the U.S. government’s restrictions on travel to the island.[2]
It was formed as a coalition of young people attempting to show solidarity with the Cuban Revolution by working side by side with Cuban workers, challenging U.S. policies towards Cuba, including the United States embargo against Cuba.
The yearly brigade trips, which as of 2010 have brought more than 9,000 people to Cuba, continue today and are coordinated with the Pastors For Peace Friendship Caravans to Cuba.....”

Venceramos Brigade...
I was referring to earlier forced labor in 1965 and 1966 (called UMAP). The government rounded up Cubans who didn’t have their mind right (anti-revolution or those not working) and hauled them off to harvest fruit and cut cane (no volunteers).
Was in the region many times, aware of FARC, yet most of my threat briefings were about Sendero Luminoso aka Shining Path in Ecuador, Peru (their home base), parts of Columbia. Communists pure and simple, fake political idealism, pure profit based pieces of shit running cocaine to all points of the compass.
The deadliest and best killers the Sendero Luminoso have are women ..... 40% of the terror group are women..... 90% of said 40% are stone cold killers.
These drug gangs running under the communist flag are growing now at a rapid rate, unchecked they own the Andes regions.
On a scale with ISIS terror group or Sinaloa Cartel the Sendero Luminoso are number one in efficiency . Especially in their home playing field. But they will travel to eliminate threats or for monetary gain. Columbia and Venezuela are resource resorts for them.
If BLM sorts use Venceramos Brigade leadership as advisors then consider any thing the BLM group does real (not wannabe) terrorist activity.
