(LIP-jl) -- Peruvian Police authorities have finally placed the link between the latest rash of coca farmer protests and insurgency groups in Peru's High Huallaga region in the department of San Martin.

Known Shining Path terrorists Samuel Rodriquez Amasifuen - A.K.A 'Jimmy', and Humberto Chavez Sanchez - alias 'Loco Severo' were arrested by law enforcement authorities while they were waiting in a home in Aucayacu before their scheduled meeting with coca farmer representatives from Aucayacu and the Monzon Valley.

In the home, authorities found firearms, a large supply of ammunition, Shining Path manuscripts and propaganda, as well as detailed plans which mapped out which roads should be blocked during the manifestations. The plans ordered protesters to dig trenches and build barricades on the Aucayacu-Tocache and Tingo Maria-Huanuco highways.

Peruvian law enforcement authorities found several trenches along the Ayucayacu Highway which were going to be used to attack police officers who patrol the area.

The plans, which were authored by three terrorists known as 'JL' 'Lee' and 'Piero,' also specified strategies to attack area police stations.

According to intelligence operations, Shining Path terrorist Samuel Rodriguez, who rarely left the protection of his hideout, is the most feared figure in the area. A report in Peru's El Comercio newspaper says he cold-heartedly killed several people who did not follow his orders to protect his narcotics business.

The article also mentioned that 'Jimmy' threated to blow up passenger buses who did not oblige to the requests of the coca farmers. As a result of Chavez's demands, no buses have been in circulation during the protests.

A congenital deformation on Chavez's fingers gave authorities the lead they needed to identify, follow, and capture the known terrorist.

His Master's Voice: When long time CIA payrollee Alan Garcia tried to step out and make peace with the massive millions of Peruvian farmers he was quickly called to task by His Master's Voice emanating from the Emeral City's Wicked Castle to the South in Lima's Monterrico district. Go to Google Earth to take a look at this armored and isolated monstrosity from which the Bush II Regime directs its South American subversion.

But, its never too late. Garcia could stop listening to His Master's Voice and join  the ever growing number of emerging petty bourgeois patriots world-wide who have had second thoughts (including Uribe in Bogota) after watching the Gringo Gulliver stumble around like a drunken sailor in the Near East.

I'm reminded of Lopez Mateos in Mexico who had a similar relationship with Gringolandia in the 1950s but found himself able to stand up on his feet and stand up for his class in Mexico in 1961 and 1962, refusing to go along with the US imperialist plots against Cuba.

Will Alan Garcia get off his knees?

Or, like Nippur the RCA Victor Terrier, keep focused on His Master's Voice in Monterrico.

Jason, what? no book hype? I do hope however that you're wearing your tin foil hat so that Bush can't invade your thoughts with his mind ray. Watch out or he might crank up the settings on his ray gun and make a tidal wave where you are like he did in Thailand.

I do not accept any comments from someone who is pro Stalin or pro Shining Path. To be short, pro comminism like this self proclaimed Ph.D Mr. Smith. It is a comfort to know that at this moment, he was not trying to push his pro communist propaganda comic books for a change.
