Tanja Nijmeijer, see: Emma Goldman (U.S. commie during WWI who got deported to her “utopia” Russia and hated it, then lived out her life in Europe desperately trying to get back into the USA which she lovingly longed for...!)

I’m guessing by now she’s already dead.>>>>>>>>>>>>

I can't hope that. The mistakes people make, and she has made a huge one.

I pray she escapes , and gets to spread the truth about the people's FARCing party. Bunch of Fascists.

Chances are though that she already is not among the living, her diary was written a year ago. And it has been in the news for weeks. SO if she hasn't escaped already, chances are she will never be seen again.

One wishes she was out and walking.

I saw an article in some lefty Canadian rag that indicated this person had been ‘outed’ by the Columbian military, inferring that she was entitled to some kind of anonymity that they had violated.

She probably already is. Una chickita de los Guerillas, a collective asset.

And that is probably the real reason she wants to get out.

Why are some women so damn dumb? Connect los dotos.

She proably has turned conservative, and we should get her out. There are a lot of people down there we should get out 3 Grumman Workers ( Randy Howes et al.), a kidnapped French citizen and politician, and now a little conservative come lately dutch girl. FARC is not too popular , even in the world of the left these days.

They shoot any of them and its Delta Ops time.

If evolution were a fact, one would think that humans would evolve, not devolve or fail to become smarter.

Just to defend evolution here, the theory doesn't point to people getting superior or inferior. If the circumstances favour a trait, that trait will dominate, over time, as long as the similar conditions prevail. If society's failures are propped up through socialist schemes, rest assured that their numbers will increase. Likewise, with evolution.

They probably (rightly) figure that publishing the diary increases her chances of getting offed. Like the Colombian military has some obligation to “protect” some foreigner who’s waging war against the Colombian People.

Personally I’d hate to see anything (more) bad happen to her, but like that Berenson idiot in Peru, she made her bed.

They read another person's personal diary. That's a UN human rights violation isn't it?

Some more exerpts; idealistic youth or self-absorbed slut?, you make the call:

In July, elite troops swept into the camp of a commander of the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC), known by the alias of Carlos Antonio Lozada.

He was wounded in the firefight and carried off by bodyguards, while women in the unit, who were bathing at the time, had to flee into the jungle in their underwear.

As the troops sifted through the camp, they came across two surprises. The first was Lozada's laptop computer, which held a treasure trove of intelligence, including confidential army plans of counter-guerrilla operations, revealing the extent of FARC infiltration into the military.

The second surprise was two battered notebooks, the journals of a guerrilla, written in Dutch.

Among the entries was: "24 November, 2006. I am tired, tired of the FARC, tired of the people, tired of communal life. Tired of never having anything for myself. And this might be worth it if I knew what we were fighting for."

That woman, known in the FARC as "Eillen", is actually Tanja Nijmeijer, 29 - her identity was confirmed by the Dutch after a photo of her stored on the captured computer was published. Her parents live a middle-class neighbourhood in Denekamp, near the German border.

[snip]

The FARC have long recruited women, who make up about a third of the 12,000-strong army.

[snip]

She went on: "At times I want to stop following orders. Following the orders of a bunch of sexists that try to kill birds with hunting rifles. I feel like a nobody all day; I am not useful and I have to do what every idiot tells me or I get fined."

Control in the ranks of the FARC extends to relationships. If a woman guerrilla girl wants to be with a man the commander has to give his approval.

The Dutch woman's journal revealed: "June 13. I have got a friend. We have negotiated and he is going to speak to the boss to see if we can be together. Without even a kiss or anything. Pure negotiation. The guy is interesting and handsome."

It is clear from the diaries that there is a great deal of promiscuity in the guerrilla ranks and, it appears, AIDS.

"21 July. There are two comrades with AIDS, perhaps more. Here, nobody uses condoms. As far as I know the girl has no idea what it means. She told me the news smiling and her partner does not appear worried. A third girl who slept with the guy is well depressed."

"I remember arguing with her that it was unsafe to travel by bus at night, but she was very independent and didn't listen," said Diana Angel, head of the school's English program.

"Independent"? I could think of far better adjectives to describe her with.

Yep. Stalin had them. Hitler had them. Mao had them. Castro had them. The Democrat Party in the United States of America has them.They are responsible for the deaths of more innocent people than all the wars since time began combined. The times may change. The users may change. The useful idiots may chnge but the end results are always the same. Then ennable a tyrant to seize power and he begans the slaughter of innocent people.

I hope the bitch dies a slow, painful , and lonely death and the buzzards eat her.

" So, which is it? Is she a "peace activist" or is she a foreigner coming from the Netherlands to Colombia to kill Colombians she politically disagrees with?"

It's both. That is how Marxist "peace activists" promote peace, first they have to take over the government so they can promote peace according Marxist teachings. This is why the left supports murders like that Chi scumbag.

She’ll be lucky if all she gets is a bullet in the head. Reading between the lines about no relationships w/out FARC approval, it is a better than even bet that she is an unwilling participant in one or more “relationships” with the FARC “leaders,” and those are NOT going to get better. Not wishing that on her, but just saying it is likely the case...
