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.
Stay Safe..
That’s scary. I’ve often wondered how deep is the influence of the cartels in the US govt.
Sendero Luminoso was the group that American gal ran with and got caught. She pleaded that she was merely an unknowing girl friend of one of the guys masterminding a huge bombing, can’t recall the details just now. Her parents set up a huge campaign to get her released.... fellow travels, always the victims.
