There was this, for starters. One of the surviving Marxist-Leninist revolutionaries in Peru stated this year that he believed Guzmán was CIA funded. Peruvian fascists flipped the fuck out and got him removed from Castillo’s government.
Also the amount of other socialists/communists the Shining Path massacred was obscenely high. It’s almost like that was a priority for them in addition to murdering whole villages of indigenous people. :curious-marx:
If they somehow weren’t CIA funded, then they worked for free. I’d almost believe that was possible because Guzmán was an egotistical chode and a complete disgrace to Maoists everywhere.
Yo hold up, what's CIA's relation with the Shining Path? I know they're nuts but they're not actually CIA funded, are they?
Nah, but everyone thought they had to be a CIA plant. So accidental CIA excellence

at the very least the Fujimori government knew exactly where Guzman was and permitted him to operate
The question to ask with Guzmán is, “would a CIA plant have acted any differently?”
