"The leaflets reportedly found at the site warned of the “cleansing” of brothels, “degenerate homosexuals”, thieves and informants, and declared “Long Live Marxism-Leninism-Maoism, principally Maoism.”"
wtf is with these psychos?? Would love some Shining Path info because this is not a great look
Shit, I'm not convinced that Shining Path weren't an op to begin with.
I doubt they were an op. When they make the news nowadays, it’s an op.
I’ve heard stories of modern shining path offshoots that survive by robbing busses and the occasional hikers; but they just spout off some shit about Maoism and go back into the jungle. I don’t think they have the infrastructure to print pamphlets tbh....
They were so sectarian that other communist groups in Peru suspected they were CIA.
Idk.. Guzman was just a strange bird. The Hoxha of South America, perhaps
Hoxha actually accomplished things.
Lmaooooo gottem

Plus the US supported ultra-sectarian Maoists whenever they were useful, like UNITA and the Khmer Rouge.

I don't think the CIA had to do anything to discredit them more than they did themselves. Some of their worst shit was never denied and instead openly acknowledged by the leadership
Could be. But even if it weren't they were just a vehicle for Guzman to stroke his massive ego.
Okay, let's just be sure we spread the incriminating evidence all across the murder scene.
Edit: meant to reply to the poster above, but don't want to delete and make a new comment.
