COMMUNIST FARC DESTROYING RAIN FOREST IN COLUMBIA. WHERE ARE OUR LIBTARDS TO PROTEST? Nation Has Lost Nearly a Million Acres of Amazon Since FARC Peace Deal Historic levels of coca cultivation and other illicit activities at the hands of Communist terrorists have contributed to skyrocketing deforestation rates in Colombia since the rebels signed a peace pact with the government in 2016, official figures show. At the end of last month, Iván Márquez, a commander in the U.S.-designated terrorist group, the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (FARC) – called on his followers to take up arms against the Colombian government again. Márquez’ call to arms came less than three years after the FARC signed the peace agreement in late 2016.

Deforestation in the Amazon also dropped about four percent from 2017 (356,195 acres) to 2018 (341,440). CONT...
