Last Thursday I wrote about FARC&#8217;s #2 commander, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=20572\">Jorge Briceno, who was killed in Colombia<\/a> by Federal forces there. Sixteen laptop computers and over 60 disks were seized after the air strike on Briceno&#8217;s encampment last Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>According to news reports, those &#8220;social activists&#8221; are being questioned on their contacts with the Communist guerrillas in Colombia as well as their contacts in the Palestinian movements. The raids on these &#8220;activists&#8221; has sparked a nationwide series of protests. Even Victor Agosto, the convicted criminal and avowed  Communist member of the IVAW, is <a href=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/event.php?eid=162034017142728&#038;ref=mf\">helping to organize a protest against the FBI<\/a> in Miami.I wonder how many of the 13 &#8220;activists&#8221; who have promised to come will actually show. And I&#8217;m sure the FBI is shaking in their wingtips.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday, Code Pink and ANSWER showed up outside the FBI headquarters to protest. Notice their manufactured signs &#8211; so you know the protest is a grassroots reaction, right? The protest is also being held on the Constitution Avenue side of the FBI building &#8211; there are no entrances used on that side of the building, but there&#8217;s more foot and motor traffic. So no one inside the building actually saw the protesters (except the FBI cops watching them on video) so we know who Code Pink and ANSWER wanted to talk to &#8211; tourists with money.<\/p>\n<p><object width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><param name=\"movie\" value=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/gd3hdK3zun0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\"><\/param><param name=\"allowFullScreen\" value=\"true\"><\/param><param name=\"allowscriptaccess\" value=\"always\"><\/param><embed src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/v\/gd3hdK3zun0?fs=1&amp;hl=en_US\" type=\"application\/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\"><\/embed><\/object><\/p>\n<p>Well, now to my point. There have been several incidences over the last few years of &#8220;activists&#8221; being targeted by raids and surveillance from the Feds, but this is the first time they&#8217;ve put up a stink about it. Freedom Roads Socialist Organization, one of the targets of the raids has been in existence since the mid-80s when US peace groups lent aid and comfort to Central American communist guerrillas &#8211; those habits are hard to break. <\/p>\n<p>I suspect that when the dust settles, we&#8217;re going to read that these activists are charged with aiding FARC. Yeah, I know that it&#8217;s hard to believe that US Federal government could work so fast in just a few days from the seizure of the laptops to the raids, but remember that we have an FBI office in Colombia which has close relationships with the government. I&#8217;m pretty sure an FBI agent accompanied the first Colombians into the area where Mono JoJoy was killed and had complete and immediate access to any evidence the Colombians discovered. <\/p>\n<p>As a final note, did you hear how the Colombians tracked ol&#8217; Mono? They infiltrated FARC and got someone so close that he\/she was able to put a GPS device in Mono&#8217;s boot. So what chance do the other run-of-the-mill guerrillas have against the Colombian government?<\/p>\n<p>Thanks to Casey for the link to the video.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Yesterday, I wrote about the warrants that were served to &#8220;social justice activists&#8221; in Chicago last &hellip; <a title=\"FBI protests\" class=\"hm-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/?p=20643\"><span class=\"screen-reader-text\">FBI protests<\/span>Read more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,43,87],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-20643","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-antiwar-crowd","category-code-pink","category-general-whackos"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20643","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=20643"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/20643\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=20643"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=20643"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.azuse.cloud\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=20643"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
