Okay, we're going to go ahead and get started. This is going to be quite a show. It's mind-boggling, actually. So I want to start off by sharing kind of a little bit about our journey over the last couple of, well, the last week. So obviously, now that we wear Gladio glasses, speaking of which, let me put mine on.
2:38
We look at everything differently. And as we come across news stories, we look at them in light of what we've learned about Gladio. So we started looking into Haiti since it just was in the news, which led us Gladio-wise to the Dominican Republic, because the Dominican Republic has been gladioed, as has Haiti several times as far as couped.
3:08
with the help of the CIA and those entities. And there's lots of reasons why. There's resources there. There's $20 billion in gold that their constitution won't allow the corporate entities, even though they've...
3:23
tried repeatedly to include Hillary Clinton's brother to mine in Haiti. The villagers run them out of town. That's why they're called gangs. They're protecting their resources and the globalist doesn't like it. So Haiti led us to the Dominican Republic because most of the forces that are in play in Haiti today come from the Dominican Republic. There's training camps along their border, international training camps.
3:53
like Gladio training camps that are used in Haiti. And then they basically run back across the border. That led us, because many of those people doing that are hired guns from Colombia. And when you look at Colombia, they have over 20,000 Gladio-trained mercenaries. And they're rented out to both NATO and the UN.
4:21
to go all over the world and kill people for and i'm not making that up if you start researching mercenaries and colombia you will come across every article that i found and the colombian um gladio trained assassins are deployed up to the dominican republic and then deployed into haiti
4:50
They've been used all over the world, like I said, which then when we started looking at Columbia and I realized that there there are these things. And by the way, Columbia did this and it was completely paid for by the American people. They did it under supposedly surging to and you'll see.
5:17
If you've listened to Gladio, you'll realize what I'm about to say is how ridiculous it is. But they did it under the guise of surging to attack the drug routes. Well, but didn't you just tell us that the CIA and Gladio controls all the drug routes? Yes, I have. I've told you that repeatedly. So the surging to.
5:41
control the drug routes, maybe defend the drug routes, protect the drug routes, but not to eliminate the drug routes. As a matter of fact, several Colombian officials have actually been put in prison because they were part of the Mexican cartel. Okay. And if you actually start looking at many of the Mexican cartels, at least one of the seven major families is actually Cuban.
6:05
And that's another story that's going to come out tomorrow night on Alpha's story. The whole Cuban angle to all of this. It'll blow your mind. That's going to be at nine o'clock tomorrow night on Alpha Warrior show. So anyway, in talking with Alpha Warrior about this, he shared with me a personal.
6:28
thing about Guyana and that he had just gotten a bad feeling and he decided not to pursue it. And I'm like, Guyana, Guyana, that had come up in some other research that I had done. So I told him, I said, well, let me look into it and just see what I find. Oh, and I'm about to tell you what I found, because what I found will blow your mind. So I'm also going to ask a couple of questions.
6:58
I'm going to say one thing, make a statement, and then I'm going to ask you a question. The entire story about Jim Jones and Guyana is a lie. That's my statement. What I am going to ask you to do with your Gladio glasses on is you judge for yourself because I'm going to ask you at the end of all of this, was Jim Jones the first Jeffrey Epstein?
7:31
the heart of this. Um, this is going to be a longer show, um, but you have to understand all of it for it to make sense. Um, so of course we all know the Jim Jones story as, um, a bunch of people in a cult going to Guyana, um, in November on the 18th of November, 1978, 913 men, women and children supposedly drank Kool-Aid that was, um,
7:59
laced with cyanide poisoning from paper cups. A lot of details there, right? So did that in fact happen? We're going to look into that. Supposedly they were instructed to do that by Jim Jones. He was a preacher of a thing called People's Temple, which we were told was a very left-wing religious cult. Left-wing meaning like quasi-communist left-wing.
8:28
religious cult. That's going to be important because you remember one of the lessons that we've learned in digging into Gladio is everything gets labeled as this communist thing so they can fight against it as an anti-communist thing. All right, so just keep that in the back of your mind. So when you start looking into this, you realize that in many aspects, Jim Jones was associated
8:59
multiple times throughout his life as a CIA agent. He also happened to be involved in some of the MKUltra projects that were going on with the U.S. Army top chemical warfare specialist, Dr. Lawrence Layton. Keep that name in your mind as well, because he comes up repeatedly. Okay, so rather than a mass suicide,
9:28
It may have actually been a mass murder. And we're going to go through some of the details with our Gladio glasses on and see if that doesn't change our impression of the overall story. We also know as part of this story, Leo Ryan, who was a Democrat from California, was murdered on site when he went to investigate the Jonestown. Some would say.
9:59
that he was lured to Jonestown to investigate it. And then he was shot along with four members of the group that went with him. And the people that were shot with him was a person that had actually left the cult, Patricia Parks, who basically was a whistleblower, and reporters Greg Robinson, Don Harrison.
10:28
and Bob Brown. They were shot on the airstrip getting ready to leave by armed men who were described by a couple of people who actually got away as looking as if they were drugged zombies. Ryan was the first and only congressman ever killed in the line of duty. He was killed with a specific kind of bullet. They're called dum-dum bullets.
11:00
That supposedly are untraceable. However, they have been known to be used in multiple CIA events that have actually been validated to CIA events. They were outlawed by the Geneva Convention. And basically they shatter as soon as they hit you. They had been issued by the CIA for use in anti Castro.
11:30
exile raids on Cuba and during the JFK assassination. Now, I'm not going to go into it because I don't want to ruin tomorrow night's video, but when you realize exactly what anti-Castro exiles are, this is all going to make sense. Another CIA critic from that era was named Mike Lane.
11:57
He had been tricked into representing Jones, who claimed to have been a victim of CIA harassment. All along, it was actually Jones working for the CIA. Lane visited Jonestown and narrowly escaped the massacre just days before he gave testimony about the JFK assassination at the House Select Commission Committee on Assassinations. Lane had been Marina Oswald's attorney.
12:26
and authored the book Rush to Judgment. So they basically tried to take him out during this period as well. Lane was discredited by his association with Jones and his reputation was left in ruins, which the CIA viewed as a coup. So anybody that they can smear with wackos, they will do that. So they basically paint Jim Jones as a kook and...
12:58
This guy ends up representing him and then they label him as a kook. So pictures of all the dead bodies show them laying face down as if they'd been carefully arranged with the children laying underneath the adults. Death from cyanide poisoning has some very specific telltale signs. Number one of which is your body will be violently contorted.
13:27
Like it spasms in some really weird ways where generally speaking, the only thing that would be touching the ground is part of your head and the heels of your feet. So none of the bodies look like they were contorted in any way. They are all very relaxed, laying flat on the ground. Their faces also.
13:51
would look very different. They're like the eyeballs contort. And we know that because of the poisoning of several other CIA Gladio victims where they did use cyanide. So this was a telltale sign that they were not poisoned with Kool-Aid, laced with cyanide. Many victims had blisters on the back of their necks, which looked like
14:16
You know how when you get an injection like a vaccine and it bubbles up a little bit, that's what it looked like at the lower base of their neck. Like predominantly all of them had that injection site. And we know that from a local guy that did the initial body counts and identification. And basically people came in after he got all of that done.
14:47
And clipped off all of the identification tags and basically screwed up everything that he had done. So Lewis Gervick, who ran a large detective agency in New Orleans and whose daughter Jan died in the massacre, said that he saw guns at the scene of the massacre and evidence of bodies that had been drug after death and laid out as if they were putting them in a particular.
15:16
fashion to make it look like something it wasn't, like it's being staged with dead bodies. One man was obviously fighting someone off and died in that position while others displayed signs of having been injected with poison. Stanley Clayton, a witness who escaped the massacre, said that he observed a woman being forcibly held down and injected with poison and that when mothers refused to surrender their children, armed guards murdered the children.
15:47
Gervage and Clayton's observation contradicted the media reports from the time which characterized the deaths at Jonestown as a mass suicide. Further contradicting the claim of a mass suicide, Mark Lane reported hearing machine gun firing, and he was not the only one. Many locals also witnessed that same thing. So he fled into the jungle at the beginning of the gunfire. Autopsies carried out by Guyana's
16:23
Chief Medical Examiner, Dr. Leslie Mutu, who worked for 32 straight hours in extreme jungle heat, originally determined that the cause of death for at least 700 of the victims was homicide and not suicide. Mutu observed puncture wounds at the base of the shoulders and neck of many of the victims, which indicated they had been forcibly held down and injected with a poison.
16:51
No needles were found at the scene, indicating that any needles was disposed of. The cyanide poison was found in bottles labeled Valium, which is what many possibly thought that they were taking. So maybe they emptied the Valium out and actually injected them with something else. So it looked like people thought that they were...
17:21
being given volume i don't know embassy cover-up after mutu carried out his investigation the forensic specimens and samples that he gathered was given to the representative of the american embassy in georgetown expecting that they may be forwarded to american forensic pathologists but they were not they disappeared and no one knows what happened to them right afterwards and that's um
17:49
Indication number one, when they start hiding evidence, but it gets worse. Many of the corpses were embalmed before an autopsy could even be performed. That's red flag number two. Every one of these things that we have looked into, whether it was the Supreme Court justice or the Pope that they killed on the 33rd day, every single one of them, even when it's against canon law,
18:19
They're immediately embalming the body because they poison them and it gets rid of the poison evidence. So red flag number two. Other bodies were left to rot and decompose, even though the Army had sent C-131 cargo aircraft in with the capacity to move hundreds of bodies in a very short period of time. Red flag number three.
18:46
Identification bracelets were removed from the victims allegedly on the orders of Don, or excuse me, on Robert Pastor, the National Security Council Director of Latin American and Caribbean Affairs, through Pastor, though Pastor denied giving that order. So he supposedly was down there representing Zabinu Brzezinski.
19:17
the Jimmy Carter's national security advisor. A study in the New England Journal of Medicine found six leading medical examiners describing the handling of the bodies of the victims by the U.S. military and others as inept, incompetent, embarrassing, with only circumstantial evidence that would have even remotely indicated by anyone that it was cyanide poisoning, because it was not.
19:46
The LA Times reported that three of the Jonestown dead were discovered in January 1986, eight years after the mass suicide stacked in caskets inside a storage facility in Southern California. Is that sick? How'd that happen? Scott Hooker, a Green Beret who landed in Jonestown after the massacre, told Temple Defector,
20:14
David Parker Wise that his mission was to kill any remaining survivors and inject their bodies with cyanide. That's sick. Jones lover Annie Moore was shot and killed in Jones' cabin while retrieving valuables with CIA-issued dum-dum bullets, just like Ryan was shot with.
20:38
Jeff Braley, a senior medic of the Joint Humanitarian Task Force who was sent to Guyana to recover the remains of the victims of Jonestown, said that he was approached by a man in civilian clothes he suspected to be CIA who told him to guard a large box of sensitive documents that he needed to get to the embassy and to shoot anyone who tried to take the box.
21:03
Also highly suspicious was the fact that the CIA notified the Defense Department of the mass suicide at Jonestown at 3.30 a.m. when it was still dark outside and out. The Guyanese Defense Forces arrived at Jonestown to even communicate a massacre had happened or a mass suicide. The timing indicates that the CIA agent was present at Jonestown at the time of the massacre.
21:33
otherwise there's no way to explain how the cia knew one occurred in the middle of the night in the dark before it was ever even announced in the local area almost like it was a plan
21:50
After the massacre, a secret tape was found where muffled voices could be heard in the period before the Guyanese security forces arrived discussing news coverage about Jonestown in English. These could be the voices of American intel agents participating in a cover-up, potentially. Air Force Colonel L. Fletcher Prouty, who worked closely with Key, he was basically the joint staff liaison with the CIA, so if the CIA needed
22:19
um airlift or logistics support he's the guy that set that up with the army navy and the air force so he's written books um talked a lot about it generally limited hangout stuff it's not stuff that we don't already know the joint chiefs of staff was prepared um who had prepared air shipments of hundreds of body bags
22:45
They didn't normally keep that many in one place. Within hours, they began to shuttle them down to Georgetown. Again, almost like they knew this was going to happen. They couldn't possibly have done that without prior knowledge that it was going to happen. It shows that there was prior planning, Prouty said. He also said he would provide the agency with the things they were requesting without question. That's the way the business worked.
23:11
At Jonestown, he said, the Joint Staff provided the body bags, the airlift, and all the rest on a timetable that shows advanced knowledge. Quote, the Joint Chiefs of Staff wouldn't have moved at all on their own. They didn't give a damn about Jonestown, unquote. He also went on to say, these are the kinds of earmarks that define the hand of American intel. Or in the...
23:43
Brennan's language, these are the hallmarks of a CIA op. So an autopsy on Jones' own body concluded that he did not take poison, but had killed himself with a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head. The pistol, however, was found 200 feet away from his body, and Jones was shot through the left side of his head when he was actually right-handed.
24:13
That's a little awkward. Numerous researchers think the body identified as Jones could not have been his because it did not mesh with his physical characteristics. Photos of the body did not show identifying tattoos on his chest, for example, and that his body and face were not recognizable due to bloating and discoloration. And you know, if there's one body that they would pay particular attention to, it's going to be that body.
24:42
But no, they left that out in the heat and let it get completely distorted. According to researchers, Michael Meyer, Phil Blakely, a People's Temple member from Great Britain. So Phil Blakely is a Temple member working for Jones that was originally from Great Britain. He ran a special forces training camp at Jonestown in the mid 70s for mercenaries.
25:13
heading to Angola, anchored one of the temple ship at the Port of Spain in Trinidad, where he remained during the murder-suicide ritual. Now, I'm going to spend a little bit of time right here, because this paragraph is huge. Jonestown, and we'll get into a little bit more detail later on, but Jonestown was originally founded.
25:44
by Jim Jones and others as a Gladio training camp. Let that sink in, okay? Special forces training camp in the mid-70s for mercenaries headed to Angola. So that's very, very important.
26:13
And where did he go in the 70s? Who was in Spain in the 70s? And where did all the Gladio people go to hide? Franco's, Spain, particularly Madrid, because Otto Skorzeny had arrangements in safe houses to protect them all.
26:35
Otto Skorzeny died, I think, in like 75, around that time frame. So this would be right around that time frame. But he had all of the setup in Spain. It's where all over the world, if you had a Gladio guy and he needed to hide, he went to Spain. Huge indicators. When it was over, Jim Jones radioed Blakely to pick up both him and his guards at the mouth of the river, about 30 miles north of Jonestown.
27:07
The uncoated radio message was a diversion. The ship was impounded by the authorities who briefly detained Blakely for questioning while they searched for Jones at the mouth of the river, not realizing that was exactly what Jones wanted them to do so he could escape over land to Venezuela. The Venezuela Border Patrol revealed that there was a mass group of about 30 or 40 people that moved towards their border shortly after the massacre.
27:37
massacre was known to happen. So just so that y'all know, if you're looking at the northern part of South America, you have Venezuela here, Guyana's right next to them. They share a very long border. Leo Ryan's aide, Joe Holsinger, who survived the ambush of his boss, believed that Jones faked his own death, but was then ambushed by CIA agents who disappeared in three boats.
28:09
that the temple had in the water off of Brazil. Holsinger noted, however, that the whole story is so mind-boggling that I'm willing to concede Jones escaped with the agents. There is no doubt in my mind that Jones had very close CIA connections. And remember, Brazil is a country that Jones is very familiar with, and we're going to go into that. He also had money hidden there. Holsinger added, quote,
28:40
The more I investigate the mysteries of Jonestown, the more I am convinced there is something sinister behind it all. Yeah, Gladio. Eerily in Jones' last tape transcribed by the FBI, he can be heard amid wailing and screams extorting his followers to take their own lives saying, get Dwyer out of here before something happens to him. Dwyer was Richard Dwyer.
29:10
deputy chief of mission at the U.S. embassy, who is suspected of being a CIA agent. Dwyer worked for the U.S. Foreign Service in Egypt and Syria and Grenada, all prior to Gladio coups. And Syria was not a coup, but it was an attempted coup. But he was there in Grenada just before we invaded Grenada. So he seems to be a prep artist.
29:40
for Gladio events. I'm sure that's just a coincidence. He had also worked in, oh my gosh, Thailand with the U.S. ambassador to Guyana during the Jonestown massacre. The guy that was the U.S. ambassador, John Burke.
29:58
And if you look up John Burke and when they were in Thailand, remember Thailand is where all of the opium was being flown out of because the CIA had paid like $35 million to the chief of police in Thailand. They basically bought him and he secured all the shipments out of Thailand. So kind of all goes together. The whistleblower that basically blew the lid on the CIA, Philip Agee,
30:31
who now lives, I don't even know if he's still alive, but he was not allowed to live here because he's like Snowden. Once you blow the whistle in the CIA, you go into hiding. Philip McGee said that John Burke worked for the CIA since 1963 when he was the assistant deputy chief of political section in Saigon, which puts him in the thick of the whole Vietnam, Operation Gladio, Phoenix, and everything else.
31:02
So it makes sense. There's a very small cadre of these ambassadors that really were CIA cutouts that follow this activity around when they were doing coups. A lot of them show up repeatedly. When asked whether he was a CIA agent, Dwyer responded, I can neither confirm nor deny.
31:26
The official Joint Chiefs of Staff communication log showed a report of the Jonestown suicides at 3.30 on Sunday, November 18th on a CIA radio channel when the only functioning radio in the area would have belonged to Dwyer. Huh. Dwyer had accompanied
31:52
Leo Ryan for his two-day visit to the compound and appears to have been the one to send the mysterious cable at 9.18 p.m. on November 18th, reporting that Ryan and his entourage death at the airstrip. Information that the State Department did not have until the next morning. In later court proceedings, Justice Department attorneys kept Dwyer from being questioned, which was all very suspicious.
32:20
And the only time that happens is when they're CIA. Born in 1931, this is where it gets very interesting. Jim Jones grew up in a small town called Lynn, L-Y-N-N, Indiana. His mother, whose name was Lynette, was a college-educated anthropologist who went to work in an assembly plant and worked later as a prison guard. His father, James Sr., 16 years, Lynette Sr.
32:50
had inhaled mustard gas during World War I, scarred his lungs, and struggled to find employment. Supposedly, he had some KKK affiliation as well, the dad. An avid reader, James Jr. graduated from Richmond High School in 1949 and attended Indiana University at Bloomington, which unfortunately is where I went to school. Not a good look.
33:21
But he also went to study law at Butler University, which is very, very expensive, by the way. That's a private school. As a teenager, he allegedly came under the spell of Pentecostal evangelists who led faith healing revivals on the edge of town, took him under their wing. Jones subsequently preached 16 miles from his home in a predominantly black neighborhood of Richmond. As a college student, he married a lady by the name of Marceline.
33:47
who was a nurse and four years older than he was. And basically he said, Jones said that he had a calling to be a pastor. So he was a great speaker and very theatrical. According to those close to them, he used wet chicken livers as cancers that he was removing under divine powers. So he's also a scam artist. A vocal proponent of racial integration and socialism.
34:18
which many believe this part is an act. Many of Jones' parishioners were Black. According to researcher Michael Myers, Jones worked in Black congregations into basically emotional craziness. He's a manipulator. So he's doing this on purpose. He picked that audience and his methods on purpose.
34:44
In 1955, Jones set up the Wings of Deliverance, which was a Pentecostal church in Indianapolis that became the people's temple. He focused on interracial miracle healings. According to Myers, Jones preached an anti-communist doctrine, which is telltale signs of Gladio.
35:14
He made references to communal lifestyles of Christ's apostles, basically saying they sold all of their goods. They basically give everything up for the church. You know, that's how he gets rich. In 1960, the temple social programs exceeded those offered by the city of Indianapolis because he's trying to hook these people psychologically. He opens free soup kitchens. People come from.
35:42
you know, 100 miles away for this service that he's providing. A clever tactic that Jones used to gain more followers was to stage attacks on his church by the KKK or white supremacist groups, which reinforced his status of a defender of civil rights. That is classic Gladio. Dress up like somebody else, attack yourself, and then blame those other people, even though it's you.
36:11
That is classic Gladio. Jones warned his followers of an impending race war, which is exactly what Charlie Manson did. Huh. I wonder. Never mind. Jones warned his followers of an impending race war and that blacks and other minority groups would be put into concentration camps. That's exactly what Charlie Manson said. In July 1965, Jones moved the People's Temple.
36:43
to Udia, California, U-K-I-A-H, pattern recognition, absolutely, which is up north in the Redwood Valley. So increasingly, he's warning of a nuclear holocaust, fear, they have to use fear. To bolster his revolutionary credentials, he shows films of CIA torture and led marches against the Vietnam War.
37:15
The People's Temple took in ex-cons, former drug addicts, emotionally disturbed and wayward youths, and others considered to be social deviants because they're going to experiment on them. 60 to 80% of the church congregants were Black. They love messing with Black people because they hate them. Drawn to Jones' evangelistic style, in 1971, Jones moved the People's Temple to San Francisco.
37:44
which was at that time the countercultural hub of the United States and where they're doing LSD experiments. Night courses were offered in socialism, training, guerrilla warfare for the revolution. Damn, that almost sounds like those audio. Operation 2. Jones developed ties with Angela Davis, the Black Panther Party, and Huey Newton. Huh.
38:13
People's Temple services were attended by left-wing celebrities like Jane Fonda, Tom Hayden, along with political refugees from Chile after the 1973 CIA-backed coup of Salvador Allente, a socialist who, he wasn't a socialist, he just wanted his country back. And he, Salvador Allente, the real reason why they couped him is because he wanted Chile's
38:42
copper industry back from the international syndicate. So, you know, he had to die. Laura Johnston Cole, who joined the Temple at age 22, was having, after having been tear gassed protesting the Vietnam War, working with the Black Panthers and attending the famous 69 Woodstock Festival, said that Temple, People's Temple, offered a community that I was looking for. I was looking for equality and justice.
39:12
where people of all backgrounds and races got along. She said her life was totally destroyed. She had a failed marriage and she was just looking for acceptance. While providing a home in the 1960s, the People Temple took on a cult-like quality. Jones was a master manipulator who was characterized by one of the landladies back in Indiana as a gangster with a Bible that he used as a gun.
39:45
Jones was not out for the money, but the power over people and the sex that he enjoyed. That sounds familiar.
40:03
Jones further deployed sexual humiliation as a way of keeping members in his congregation in line. For various transgressions, he would have temple members have sex in front of the entire congregation. He also set up boxing matches in which victims were ordered into a ring with a much bigger, stronger opponent. Jones' corruption was epitomized by his
40:32
Welfare fraud scam in which black children on welfare were stolen from the ghettos of Oakland and assigned to the temple as foster care home. Let me say that again. They stole children so they could receive the welfare payments and coded the temple as a foster home. Various temple members who left the church strangely all
41:05
with last names starting with the letter H, wound up dead. That's totally weird. Not like a Hitler thing or anything. The FBI and other law enforcement agencies in San Francisco for years ignored every report, almost like they were protected. So there were members implicated in murders, smuggling, extortion, child abuse, and theft, and no one was ever prosecuted.
41:36
And you just thought that started happening recently. Jones was given a Martin Luther King Jr. Award for community service in 1977 because they just love humiliating people as he was stealing money from black children. Evolving as a political power broker, Jones forged close relationships with San Francisco leading members to include Nancy Pelosi, by the way.
42:05
Because he was a vote runner for the Democrat Party. He was close to Willie Brown, who gave him awards. And Willie Brown, who characterized him at an awards dinner as a combination of Martin Luther King, Angela Davis, Albert Einstein, and Chairman Mao. That's quite a combination. Jones forged further relationships with California Lieutenant Governor Mervyn Demily.
42:42
Harvey Milk, the first openly gay man to be elected to public office, and Governor Jerry Brown, who actually attended Temple services and secured appointment by San Francisco Mayor George Moscone to the board of directors of the Housing Authority and Human Rights Commission. You just can't make this shit up. Explaining the quid pro quo.
43:10
A Moscone official wrote that while everybody talks about labor unions and their power, Jones turns out the troops because he was a vote getter. He would have all of his cult members go out and basically harvest votes. No wonder then that during the 1976 presidential campaign, future...
43:33
First Lady Rosalind Carter got in touch with Jones, who helped provide a huge turnout for her rally in San Francisco and subsequently had a private dinner with him in a restaurant in Stanford Court Hotel. Future Vice President Walter Mondale also met with Jones on the campaign plane. People's Temple by this time had compiled assets over $1 billion.
44:03
Yeah, that's a good point because Kamala Harris hung around with Willie Brown. I'll be willing to bet she's got Jim Jones stink on her. That didn't come off right, but you know what I mean. In 1978, critical media expose exposes, however, threatened to ruin John Jones reputation and prompted the move to Guyana. So basically this the Senate, the House of Representative guy starts licking into him.
44:35
And the heat starts getting turned up. There's unexplained murders going on. There's theft. There's fraud. So it just keeps getting hotter and hotter. And he is also working with the CIA LSD MK Ultra program while he's in San Francisco. So they decide it's better he move.
45:02
So he already has bought, we talked about it. So he's already bought that property down in Guyana. They've owned that for a long time as part of his $1 billion portfolio, right? Because it's already a terrorist training camp. So that's a logical place for him to go. The People's Temple had purchased this land in Jonestown in the mid 70s. The members traveled there to clear the land, build a jungle enclave for the church.
45:31
A socialist paradise abroad would allow Jones to move his group and basically do whatever they want. Let's see. A century earlier, a prophet by the name of Smith had led a flock of Ameri-Indians to northwestern Guyana with the promise of seeing God and being free from the calamities of life and possessing the land of boundless fertility.
46:02
where a large crop of casarva, which is a root plant, would grow from a single stick. But when the new millennium failed to materialize, the followers were told they had to die in order to be resurrected as white people, a story Jones apparently knew about. So this place probably had more meaning than we actually knew.
46:27
Jones' connection to the CIA was apparent in the Temple's development of a sophisticated intelligence gathering and filing system that mirrored the late techniques of the CIA. Within this filing system, there was information enveloped on each of the members of the Temple, kind of like they're experimenting on them, like a medical folder, that indicated detailed personal dossiers, medical...
46:55
and career histories and psychological profiles, as well as pictures, all kinds of pictures. Jones required members who were being considered for promotion inside the cult to a position of trust within the temple to sign self-confessions as a sign of loyalty that attested to any child molestation that they had done, any homosexual acts that they had committed, and or other crimes.
47:24
for future blackmail purposes to make sure that they didn't ever leave. Additionally, his personal aides had to sign blank papers that he could write the crime in. Those people were never leaving. One of Jones' top aides, Patty Cartmell, C-A-R-T-M-E-L-L, and her assistants were skilled in burglary techniques and
47:53
basically gathered information from people's homes. She would go to their house and break in and steal shit, like information, blackmail information. That sounds like Watergate, don't it? In addition to information, well, it sounds like the FBI now. In addition to information on Temple members, Cartmel amassed a very impressive file on California politicians and public figures.
48:23
Among them, Leo Ryan, who they end up killing. He must have not had any good blackmail material or they'd have just blackmailed him to shut up. Jones' recruitment as an intelligent agent may have occurred when he was a young man. His wife's cousin, Ronnie Bladwin, maybe Baldwin, maybe a typo, who lived with the Joneses at the time, recalls him take, let's see, recalls,
48:56
him taking him to meetings around 1951 that were meetings where communism was under discussion. Yeah, Baldwin, there it is. Sorry about that. Baldwin believed that Jones was talking to a man that was in the FBI or some kind of government agent. Indianapolis at the time was very conservative, and if communism was being discussed, it was likely by white
49:32
right-wing people as an anti-communist, which we've already been told that's what it was all about. So that he went to clandestine meetings in which Jones was operating as an informant. Jones could have functioned. So also it's interesting to note that they were gathering racial intelligence because most of the church occupants were black. Also,
50:04
I made some notes later on about one of Jones' childhood friends is a local police officer at this same time. As a master manipulator, Jones created the impression that he was a target of the CIA and that he was basically the good guy. In reality, it appears that he was actually working for the CIA, as were several of his top aides.
50:33
In a Freudian slip, Jones once told a Swedish journalist, quote, all my thoughts are coming from the CIA, unquote. Jones' purpose was to channel the activist energies of the radical 1960s movement into his cult and discredit those ideas and to use Jonestown as a cover for CIA training programs and unethical medical experiments. Now, let me just tell you, on the surface, that sounds crazy, right?
51:03
But if you go back and you look at Laurel Canyon and the creating and taking over of the rock music industry in the 60s and 70s, that's exactly what they did there. So they're doing in Los Angeles with the music industry what Jones is doing with religion in San Francisco. These were both ran by the CIA and they both are doing the exact same thing. The music industry co-opting, creating and then co-opting.
51:32
or co-optedly creating, however you want to say that, was to discredit the anti-war movement. So you had all of these young, educated, well-spoken, button-down colored shirt men who did not want to go to Vietnam. They were very anti-war. They knew the whole thing was a setup.
51:55
They were very outspoken and very articulate, and they were making headway into convincing the American people that the Vietnam War was bullshit. So the CIA, because they were using the war to cover their drug trafficking, had to discredit those people. So what did they do? They create the music scene. They infest the music scene with LSD. They make them anti-war.
52:20
And then anybody that speaks out about anti-war is painted with that same hippie paintbrush. They've done this repeatedly, guys. They do it with MAGA. So they have somebody wear a MAGA hat that's totally weird. And then they paint all of us as that weirdo. This is tried and true CIA. The U.S. Embassy in Georgetown, which housed the Guyana CIA station, which is true everywhere.
52:52
regularly supplied Jones with reports of congressional investigations of Jonestown. The State Department concealed information from Leo Ryan, the congressman that's looking into him, about Jonestown, exemplifying the close symbiotic relationship between Jones, the U.S. Embassy, the State Department, and the CIA. So Leo Ryan, he's on to Jones. He's investigating him.
53:23
The U.S. Embassy in Guyana is keeping Jones apprised of Leo's investigation into him. According to researcher Michael Myers, Jones' relationship with the CIA went back to the early 60s when he played a role in at least three of their international projects. This is where it gets really interesting. In 1961, the Bay of Pigs landing, he was involved in.
53:59
The racial revolution in British Guyana, which is next to Guyana. There's actually a thing. There's a French version and a British version. They kind of split it. And then just Guyana. So he was involved in a CIA operation in a country next door to Guyana.
54:26
in the 1964 military coup, which was a CIA coup of Brazil. He was involved in all three of those CIA operations. The Bay of Pigs is probably the most interesting one because you're going to find out tomorrow night why that ties in and why that's so important on Apple Warrior Show. In February 1960, just after the triumph of Fidel Castro and the Cuban Revolution, Jones visited Havana.
54:55
ostensibly to recruit black Cubans to his church. That's the cover story. Curiously, Jones later showed off pictures of a mangled body of a pilot indicating that Jones had witnessed the pirate bombing of cane fields in the Bay of Pigs. That's interesting. Jones also had a photo of him and his wife posing with Fidel Castro.
55:23
It is speculated that Jones' visit may have been to help encourage immigration from Cuba in order to embarrass the Castro government, a project in which conservative religious groups collaborated, but he may have just been a simple spy because we know the CIA played both sides of that revolution. They provided weapons and militants to Castro and
55:53
to the government forces because they wanted control of Cuba and they didn't care who won that skirmish. Unfortunately, Castro refused to play with them after he won. And that's the reason why he was labeled a communist. In 1961, Jones went to British Guyana with the purpose of helping the CIA overthrow a socialist government of Tideh Hagan.
56:23
a Marxist dentist and East Indian founder of a progressive people's party. He was leading their movement for independence from Great Britain. And so I don't, you can't say this guy is either a socialist or a Marxist because those are labels that we have learned to question anytime it relates to a Gladio event.
56:49
That's the labels our government gives to anybody that won't let their resources be plundered by the international syndicate. Guyana was important strategically to the U.S. because it had economic resources, and because the U.S. had an Air Force base there that they had acquired from the British who had been there prior.
57:15
They used that base extensively at that time because they were video photo mapping the entire South American, probably to do these operations that we now know they did everywhere and take everything. There are particular camera photography that can be used to determine resources.
57:44
plantings grow where certain elements thrive. So they were mapping out, this is my opinion, they were mapping out resource riches areas for what we know to be coming as the targeted CIA operations that basically allowed the international syndicate to come in and steal all these people's resources.
58:16
So in 1961, the Guyana Graphic published a photo of Jones and his family with the headline, Church Blamed and Red Rise. In the article that followed, Jones was quoted as giving anti-communist speeches in which he blamed the affluent Guyanese clergy for bleeding the well from the people, which made communism appear attractive to them. So basically, Jones is down there spouting.
58:43
Gladio anti-communist garbage because they're all in favor of fascism, not communism, which basically just depends on who owns the resources. They want fascism because they work for the international syndicate and the international syndicate wants it. They don't want the governments to have it or the people for that matter. The article serves to help attract the anti...
59:12
communist faction to a new hero jim jones whose assignment was to organize and aid their cause and you'll see how that matters as we go on that anti-communist mantle was very important because that's how they sold the entire dictatorship of south america they were all combating terrorism right but you're installing dictators which how bad
59:39
is a communist dictator from a fascist dictator. Oh, I don't know they're the same. It's just who gets access to the resources. They want the resources for the international syndicate on the fascism side because it's basically a corporate fascism. And if you go to true communism, the local government and the people own it. And the international syndicate does not want that to occur.
1:00:08
Plus, you have to have two villains, right? We already established that. You have to have the communism in order to fake the people out that thinks you're being saved by the fascism because the big boogeyman is the communism. Jones proceeded to recruit and train a group of Black Taiwanese rowdies who went on to incite race riots, labor strikes, and basically crippled the Hagan government.
1:00:35
This is Operation Gladio. This is what they did in Ukraine. It's what they did in Chile. It's what they did in Brazil. This is their mode operative. So that's what I'm telling you. Every single one of these things, as we go through the actual sequence of Jim Jones, he is Operation Gladio. There's no question in my mind. With his rainbow family, because he had black and white kids that he had adopted along the way.
1:01:02
The doctrine of racial integration, Jones had the perfect disguise for his work as an instigator of race riots. His people's temple provided the necessary missionary cover, as well as an excellent conduit to filter money to the rebels. Anonymous donations given to his church were forwarded to Jones, who distributed the money as he saw fit.
1:01:27
Many people think that was money from the CIA. Jones' immediate supervisor in the coup was CIA agent Richard Welch, who was assassinated in the mid-1970s after he became the CIA station chief in Greece. Okay, so they have a coup in Greece, right? They go to a dictator in Greece, and that was a CIA operation as well. What's interesting about Welch
1:01:57
Now, we already know that the questions at this time was being asked about the CIA and their involvement in some of the government coups. So there's a lot of questions being asked. There was actually one of the commissions. I want to say it was the church commission. And Welch gets assassinated and immediately the CIA.
1:02:25
And their government sycophants accuse Congress of getting him killed for asking questions about what he was doing. And almost immediately, the entire church commission disbands. They do some stupid report and nothing changes. And there are many people that believe inside of the CIA that the CIA arranged for Richard Welch, because he had other baggage, to be murdered.
1:02:55
in order to shut Congress down. And at this point, I put nothing past them. So Welch introduced Jones to the CIA candidate Forbes Burnham. Forbes Burnham was an Afro-Caribbean who arrives in Georgetown at this same time. In February 1962, Jones rebels begin their reign of terror in exciting...
1:03:24
Race riots and labor strikes. They burned down cinemas, restaurants, you know, kind of like they did here in 2020. And they basically attack anybody that's in favor of Hagan. Hagan was forced to declare a state of emergency and call in British troops to quell the disturbance, which marked the beginning of the end of his administration because, you know, it's out of control, blah, blah, blah. CIA dissident Philip Agee, who is the whistleblower.
1:03:50
wrote in his book, Inside the Company, A CIA Diary, that Burnham's election as prime minister in December 1964 was achieved largely due to CIA operations to strengthen the anti-Hagan trade unions, which fomented the riots and removed the fear that Hagan would turn to British Guyana and that he would turn him into a Cuba.
1:04:21
So again, the whole anti-Cuban, anti-communist. So, you know, if this guy wins, we're going to be communists. So he's got to be stopped. Burnham ruled Guyana until his death in 1985. So about a little over 20 years.
1:04:39
While posing as a leader of the third world's opposition to capitalism and imperialism, he authorized the physical surveillance and wiretapping of his political opponents and divided Guyana along racial lines. In a 1966 speech in West Indies, Hagan accused Burnham of being a stooge of Uncle Sam who cut deals with Washington and the result that Guyana is now a creature of Uncle Sam.
1:05:07
The corruption of Burnham's regime was evident in the fact that he and his wife were among the first at the scene in Jonestown Massacre and stole over a million dollars in cash, gold, and jewelry from the buildings and from the dead. Jones' relationship with Burnham appears to have been a key reason that the People's Temple moved to Guyana.
1:05:35
were extremely close, and Burnham even visited Jones in California, though that was kept secret. Burnham welcomed the establishment of the Jonestown, and they actually have a picture of him meeting in California with them. They probably found the picture in some of the evidence. Burnham welcomed the establishment of Jonestown because the people's temple's wealth would ease Guyana's critical balance of payment problems.
1:06:02
while they were trying to develop resource-rich land. According to Michael Myers, the project was quite successful in the production of that root vegetable cassava and establishment of a sawmill that cut lumber. The U.S. State Department increased aid to Guyana from $500,000 to $31 million in the last year of Jonestown.
1:06:33
That's how you reward your new installed dictator. Leo Ryan's aide, and he's the guy that was killed, the congressman, Joe Holsinger, presented evidence to the House Foreign Affairs Committee in April 1980 that the CIA sustained a covert operation in Guyana that included covert support for Jim Jones as an ally of Burnham.
1:07:01
Specifically, the People's Temple provided funds to the Burnham Group and acted as a terrorist organization to intimidate opponents of the Burnham regime. James Jones himself was seen as throwing tear gas into anti-Burnham demonstrations in 1975. Jones further smuggled weapons to Jonestown in the bottom of crates marked agricultural. That's according to witness statements that has been defectors of the temple.
1:07:31
Holsinger noted that Burnham's regime was particularly valued because it was a cooperative U.S. commercial interest and that the U.S. State Department was interested in exploiting natural resources from Guyana for the international syndicate. My words. After his tour in Guyana, Jones moved to Brazil.
1:08:02
a place called Belo Horizonte, which was the home of the CIA headquarters in Brazil. Jones' assignment was to funnel money and advice to the dissident right-wing Brazilian military and to assure them after their planned coup, the U.S. government would recognize. So he's down there instigating the coup, right? He's a coup facilitator after he just helped with the coup in Guyana. He's no different than Otto Skorzeny.
1:08:35
For our purposes, this is what the guy does. Brazil was ruled by Goulart, G-O-U-L-A-R-T, a social Democrat, whom officials in Washington said was giving positions and opportunities to extreme leftists, including, oh my God, the dreaded communists.
1:09:06
And they preferred the ultra-nationalist. And so, you know, the sky's falling. Got to get that guy out. And as it turns out, it had nothing to do with that. If you go back and you look at the coup in Brazil, there was like 75 companies that were large.
1:09:30
multi-million dollar companies that were owned by local Brazilians. And Brazil was very well off. It was very affluent. After the coup, it was six or seven left being owned by Brazil. The international community, because of the destruction of the coup, had basically came in and bought them all up. That's what these are all about. So in 1964, after general strikes coordinated by the CIA and the American Institute for Free Labor Development,
1:10:01
a CIA front company. Brazilian generals disposed, deposed the president and established a military regime that stayed in effect, oh, until 1985. Again, another 21 years. Jones cover in Brazil was as a laundromat employee and an investment salesman. He didn't make any sales.
1:10:30
But supposedly the people, the witnesses that were later interviewed said he was very shy. The guy that's up at the podium in a Pentecostal church is shy. Yeah, not. But he's slinking around. So he's secretive. He wasn't shy. Also, the investment company, and y'all can look into this because this is a very interesting one to look into.
1:10:57
Invesco, I-N-V-E-S-C-O, another CIA front company. The guy that supposedly was in charge of the laundromat that he worked at, it was like an industrial laundromat, stated explicitly that Jones never actually worked there, that it was just a rouge for the CIA. And they knew that because he got his food from the embassy.
1:11:27
He had an embassy car. So there was nothing about him that they were even hiding at this point. So Jones's main contact there was the vice consul of the embassy, who also was a CIA agent. His last name was L-O-D-E-E-S-E-N, Lodesen. John, J-O-N, Lodesen. And he was kicked out of the embassy in Moscow for espionage.
1:12:00
Kind of a dead giveaway, your CIA. He also taught at the CIA school in Germany. Jones was exposed in print as a CIA operative by a local newspaper, which accused him of filtering money to the military officers to finance the coup. The reporter wrote that we, quote, all know this flamboyant American is CIA, unquote.
1:12:24
Jones refuted the charges by telling the reporter that his money came from his pension as a retired U.S. military officer, which, of course, he was never a military officer. So that's kind of weird. Now, let's get back to Richmond. Jones' boyhood friend, Dan Mitteroni, CIA agent, prior chief of police in Richmond, Virginia. They were like elementary school best buds.
1:12:56
So Dan Mitteroni was hired after he retired from being the chief of police by USAID, which is a CIA cutout, Office of Public Safety. Now, just leave that there for a second. Vesco Oil. You're right, Tara. That is George H.W. Bush, which, of course, is CIA. Office of Public Safety. Dan Mitteroni.
1:13:28
was hired by the Office of Public Safety to go down to, let's see, where's he end up? Trying to remember. He was in another country down there. Anyway, let's go on. I just want y'all to remember the Office of Public Safety. So he was in the Navy. I already told you about the police department.
1:14:01
He ends up, Mitteroni ends up working in Brazil around the same time that Jones is down there and they hang out together, both CIA. Jones had told his followers in Guyana that Mitteroni, whom he referred to as a cruel, cruel person, even as a kid and a vicious racist. The statement may have been in part because of Jones cover as pretending to be a leftist and persecuted by the CIA.
1:14:31
as Mitteroni was well known in leftist circles for promoting torture methods that resulted in his kidnapping by, oh, Iroquois. So this guy goes to Iroquois, hired by the State Department's Office of Public Safety, and he spends all of his time teaching the secret police how to torture people in the Office of Public Safety.
1:14:59
It doesn't get any more 1984 than that. He not only just tortures people, he hooks them up to electrodes in all of their private parts and he tortures them, killing many of them. But he went a step too far even for these people. He began rounding up homeless people off the street, torturing them and killing them. That was a step too far even for these guys.
1:15:32
He has taught these people how to torture the freedom fighters, the real freedom fighters, trying to get rid of the dictator that the CIA installed. Well, the freedom fighters kidnap this guy and they murder him. They shoot him multiple times. So he died a slow, painful death, which was probably completely deserving.
1:16:04
Mysteriously, Jones' CIA file was thrown away right after Mitterrand was discovered dead. That's interesting. So something in Jones' file connected him to Mitterrand. Jonestown's original purpose was to serve as a self-sufficient agricultural mission and refuge for troubled members of the temple. That was the official story.
1:16:36
The ulterior motive was apparent in the use of the land to establish a training camp for mercenaries headed by Phil Blakely, the Briton from the wealthy family from Britain. So its purpose was a gladio training camp. Blakely had come to America after meeting at a boarding school and then marrying a woman by the name of Deborah Layton, a Californian who was associated with the People's Temple and Jim Jones.
1:17:06
He actually officiated their wedding. CIA agent Frank Turple admitted to a BBC interviewer that he supplied mercenary arms in early stages of Jonestown's existence in the 1970s when the jungle camp was used as a CIA training center, Gladio Camp. Guyanese residents remember 200...
1:17:36
khaki-clad Black Americans as they frequented Georgetown's bars and whorehouses while on leave from their assignment. Many of the weapons were smuggled into Jonestown amid personal possessions and farming equipment from the People's Temple Church. Mercenaries were shipped to Jonestown, trained, instructed, and armed, and then flown from the port to Angola.
1:18:05
The reason Jonestown was used was because Henry Kissinger was given the CIA orders to arm rebel groups in Angola. However, the CIA was subject to a new legislation initially proposed by Congressman Leo Ryan that required the agency to account for all money spent for covert operations after congressional approval.
1:18:27
Before congressional authorization could be obtained, a covert program was needed and the agency could not use its Cubans because they had green cards and could be traced to the U.S. So the CIA had to set up a terror training camp outside of the United States and use foreign-born mercenaries, 100% black ops, black funding.
1:19:01
to get around Congress and a new piece of legislation that Leo Ryan set up, and then the CIA murders him. You want to know why Congress doesn't do shit? Ask any one of them if they know anything about Leo Ryan. I guarantee you they know who that guy is. According to Michael Myers, CIA case officer in Brazil,
1:19:30
transported mercenary recruits to the Brazilian coast where Phil Blankley would pick them up in the Temple ship, ship them off to Jonestown. Blakely was one of Jones's top lieutenants. Apparently managed the whole program like a business. Under his command, the one or 200 advisors that were their special forces advisors.
1:19:52
some of which were on the people's temple security staff and the Brazilian mercenaries helped clear the jungle to set up the initial bank training camp. And they basically had two training camps. They had the one that looked like the ones where the people ended up coming to. And they also had a secondary one that was more like jungle training. It was somewhat cleared, but still for them to be able to be able to mimic.
1:20:18
jungle-like training standards. And so there was two facilities. One looked like a real base. One looked more jungly because that's where they did the more intense training. The training camp required ultra-sophisticated weapons, explosives not commercially available to the general public. It's widely known that Deborah Layton Blakely, the wife of this guy, was the
1:20:43
financial secretary and appropriated the money to purchase the arms for his projects. In 1975, Blakely turned the training camp over to Jones for the second part of the assignment, which was called the Shalom Project, which used state-of-the-art technology for marijuana centers in Mendocino County, California, where Blakely did his internship to grow marijuana for the CIA's head of the Angolan Task Force.
1:21:11
would describe the hemp-smoking rebels that they were supporting. Jones is supposed to be remembered as a psychopath communist whose drug-induced paranoia triggered the mass suicide. In the last six months before the massacre, Jones went out of his way to give the impression that he was a communist, although his whole life had been anti-communist. Temple aide Deborah Layton, for example, courted the Soviet and Cuban embassies in Guyana.
1:21:41
and helped plan a May Day celebration in which they all became participants. However, this was all a ruse intended to associate Jonestown in the popular mind with left-wing communism and their governments in order to discredit them. So if you've got a Kool-Aid drinking idiot psychopath, we're going to rub communism all over him so that we can...
1:22:09
say bad things about communists and point to him as an example of it. And I've already told you about the other examples of that. They're notorious for doing this. For 25 years, Jones was a registered Republican. His politics, Michael Myers wrote, were those of the son of a Midwest Bible Belt marshal and KKK member. Tellingly, he had a close relationship with the head of the John Birch Society in California. According to Richard Helms,
1:22:39
Operation MK Ultra, a CIA program originated in the early 50s that tested drugs on unwitting human guinea pigs in an attempt to develop mind control and behavioral modification techniques, was terminated in 74. It is believed, however, that it actually continued and they took it into private cult groups like Charles Manson and the People's Temple.
1:23:07
This was the thesis of a paper entitled The Penal Colony, written by a Berkeley psychologist thought to be Richard O-F-S-H-E. During the 1960s and 70s, Jones received treatment at the Langley Porter Neuropsychiatric Institute.
1:23:33
In San Francisco, the nation's leading center for brain research, Langley Porter was known for experiments that it conducted on behalf of DARPA. I just can't make this up. While much of the research is classified, the institute experimented in electromagnetic effects and behavioral modification techniques, including hypnosis. Through Langley Porter, Jones appeared to have been involved in CIA mind control modification programs to include MKUltra.
1:24:04
In Brazil, Jones had studied the magical rites of several of the local tribes, and he was familiar with the works of extrasensory perception and also knew that all of this was of interest to the CIA and their MKUltra programs. Also, it included mass conversion techniques at which Jones' Pentecostal training
1:24:34
had made him an expert. So many people think that Jones was part of the CIA even as it relates to his church and that his church was basically a brainwashing psychology experiment for them and how it went into that cult-like mentality. Control. From the beginning of his career, Jones had surrounded himself with animals, including dogs and monkeys, which
1:25:04
was used for behavior modification and to figure out how to manipulate people, all of which was interesting to the CIA. When Jones moved his temple to California, the group immediately infiltrated the Mendocino State Psychiatric Hospital, which would provide test persons for experiments. Many patients were actually leased.
1:25:33
to the temple's care and a training ground for many medical technicians he needed to experiment on. Jonestown provided the ideal isolation for medical experiments. The camp medical staff under Dr. Lawrence Schlatt, S-H-A-C-H-T, who was known to perform painful suturing without anesthesia.
1:26:04
He administered drugs and kept daily medical records for everybody there, which, interestingly enough, mysteriously all disappeared in the aftermath of the massacre. For any misbehavior, residents were subjected to either drugging or sensory deprivation. Tom Grubbs, a psychologist with a degree from the University of California and principal of the Jonestown School, allegedly
1:26:37
allegedly constructed Jonestown's sensory deprivation chamber underground, which made people feel like they were buried alive. They even created them in the shapes of coffins. Grubbs reportedly died in the Jonestown massacre, his secrets dying with him, though his body was never identified, so we don't know. Maybe he got away. Nice to know that guy would be out there running around.
1:27:09
The first outsiders to reach Jonestown's medical clinic after the massacre found enough drugs to supply the average U.S. city for more than a year. This was a thousand people, right? An average city has tens of thousands of people in it. Predominant in the stock was hypnotic drugs like Penethol and Nimbutol.
1:27:38
I don't know any of these drugs, as well as Thorazine, which is used to alter violent behavior of mental patients and used during CIA MK Ultra experiments. Researcher John Judge compared Jonestown to a typely run concentration camp complete with medical and psychiatric experiments. Now, what's really interesting about this, which Liza brought up, is
1:28:11
What's his name? Mengele, the Nazi. He was spotted in South America. So it is actually very likely that Nazi Germans were collaborating with the CIA in these medical experiments using cults.
1:28:39
as a way to disguise the medical experimentation. The medical staff at Georgetown numbered 70, most of which were psychiatrists, psychologists and behavioral scientists, therapists and pharmacologists, not regular medical doctors. So it's as if this entire crew
1:29:07
And it would be interesting to find out anybody that has on their resume being in Georgetown, Guyana during this period of time, because they were guaranteed to be working on NK-ULTRA experiments. One of those doctors, Larry Slatt, S-C-H-A-C-H-T, who was known for first recording a medical diagnosis of AIDS. That's very interesting.
1:29:39
The Soviets had accused the U.S. government of creating AIDS at Fort Detrick, Maryland, as a biological weapon. Residents of Jonestown displayed symptoms of AIDS. And so it is believed that there was experimentation done on these people of the AIDS as well.
1:30:06
visitors to Jonestown noted that residents there looked like they had been drugged and like they were robots. Drugs were allegedly administered in the food at mealtime in small doses and in cookies and basically through kitchen prep. According to Michael Myers, research at Jonestown was being carried out not only on mind-altering drugs, but also into ethnic diseases, notably sickle cell anemia, which affects Blacks.
1:30:36
more than anyone else. It also included anti-tuberculosis drugs, which can cause nerve damage. And in December 1978, the New York Times ran an article by Robert Lindsay, which was called Family Tragedy, Hitler's Germany to Jones Cult. The article profiled the Layton family, a family steeped in the tradition of Quaker nonviolence,
1:31:07
that seemed to have everything, intelligence, wealth, education, had been destroyed by the people's cult. Six members of the family had joined the cult. The matriarch, Lisa, gave more than a quarter of a million dollars to it. And then basically she died three months before the mass suicide of cancer. The only person criminally charged in the Holocaust at Jonestown was Larry Layton, Lisa's son, for his role in conspiring to assassinate
1:31:37
Congressman Leo Ryan, and four other persons in the attack that allegedly lay behind Jones's suicide order. A conscientious objector of the Vietnam War and medical technician at the state hospital, which is how Layton met all of these people, had become involved in the Jonestown after participation in the 1960 drug culture in Berkeley. Layton's sister Deborah, Phil Blakely's
1:32:06
husband, had served as Joan's financial advisor and aide. She joined the temple after she had been shipped off to a boarding school in Lake England and met him. Conveniently, Deborah defected a few months before the mass suicide, almost like somebody knew it was coming. With his son's arrest, Leighton family patriarch Lawrence, a distinguished research scientist,
1:32:34
was left devastated by the Jonestown massacre, his family having unraveled in a Greek tragedy. The Times article made for a gripping read, but mask a dark hidden truth about the entire Layton family. According to Michael Myers, the Laytons were not victims, but the masterminds of this experiment in ethnic weaponry and sadistic medical experimentation at Jonestown. One family member was in charge of the people's...
1:33:03
Temple's trailblazers, the advance party that carved Jonestown from the dense forest. Others were Jones' top aides and lovers. One was an agent provocateur who framed defection from Jonestown in order to entice the congressman to come down there. They basically tricked him like they were doing some expose and sneaking in there to expose him.
1:33:31
And he was actually baiting him into a trap to assassinate him. At Larry's trial, his lawyer said Layton was a government scapegoat who had been drugged into participating in the murder. He looked spaced out and was mumbling about CIA conspiracies during the attack on Congressman Ryan. This claim was corroborated by Del Parks, a member of the Jonestown medical staff who had admitted to drugging him. But they have to have a scalp.
1:34:02
Born into a wealthy West Virginia family who descended from the Mayflower Passengers, Lawrence Layton held a doctorate degree in biochemistry from Pennsylvania State University and perfected the technique of purifying uranium isotopes that enabled the development of the Manhattan Project. In 1951, during the height of the Korean War, Layton was appointed chief of chemical and biological warfare research at the Proving Grounds in Utah.
1:34:33
At that isolated facility, Layton helped develop germ and chemical weapons, carrying out tests on animals. In that time, he also worked on weather and chemical weapons that undertook tests on nerve gas and toxic agents with bombs being dropped from airplanes. Kind of like Agent Orange. Layton stated, this is a quote.
1:35:00
because I want y'all to understand the diabolical evilness of these people. You can blow people to bits with bombs. You can shoot them with shells. You can atomize them with atomic bombs. That's considered moral. But the same people think there's something terrible about poisoning the air and letting people breathe it. Anything having to do with gas warfare, chemical warfare has the taint of horror. Even if you only make people vomit, it's all right to kill somebody in war, but it's not all right to make them vomit.
1:35:30
or make him silly actually it's one of the most humane forms of warfare if you want to compare it to other types i'm not apologizing for chemical warfare i'm just saying that the prejudices against chemical work weapons in favor of conventional and atomic weapons is absurd and they can rationalize anything guys that's just the moral of that story
1:35:55
In 1954, Leighton was named Director of Missile and Satellite Development at the Navy's Propellant Division in Indian Head, Maryland, where he designed missile fuels. Many of his papers are still top secret today. According to Michael Myers, Leighton was involved in Operation MK Ultra. His wife, Lisa, and children allegedly administered the project and helped basically
1:36:26
used Jim Jones as the administrator or orchestrator of their entire experiment. Layton was introduced to Jones as a CIA expert on behavior modification of Black people. They love targeting Black people. Jones had just returned from a successful assignment in South America where he had incited Blacks to riot in British Guyana. Now Jones' task was to subjugate them.
1:36:55
working undercover as a self-ordained minister and missionary. In this context, he moved that church out to California, separate them, and then isolate them. When in San Francisco, as well as Guyana, the Layton family lived in, they ended up moving near Berkeley. According to Myers, the top secret Jonestown experiment was the culmination of
1:37:23
Lawrence Layton's life work in devising new ways to kill people hidden in the media by CIA propaganda, which depicted all the deaths at Jonestown as suicides driven by a psychotic preacher. The experiment was conceived and financed by Dr. Layton, who gave over a quarter of a million dollars to it. It was as much his project as Jim Jones. Control of the experiment was achieved through Layton's wife and children. Lisa Layton.
1:37:50
had a past life as a daughter of a Nazi who disguised herself as a Jew after moving to the U.S. Her father, Hugo Phillips, was a wealthy German banker and stockbroker who represented companies such as Siemens, Polsky, and IG Farben, which developed the cyanide gas for use on Jews and others in the research labs in Germany. As World War II approached in
1:38:18
In 1938, Hitler sent the Philip family to serve under deep cover in the U.S., providing them with fake papers as Jewish people. While working as a physical therapist in Pennsylvania State University, Lisa met and married Lawrence. After raising their four kids, Lisa took a job at the University of California, Berkeley, which basically had
1:38:42
the most comprehensive collection of left-wing literature in the U.S., Lisa's job was to pass information to the CIA about people's borrowing habits. So when foreigners or even well-off students came, she reported what they were using the library for. As Joan's assistant, Deborah Layton performed key functions in managing the money, laundering its riches into Swiss and offshore bank accounts.
1:39:12
Deborah also gathered data on politicians who might be coerced or blackmailed into cooperating with the temple. She wrote forged anonymous letters endorsing candidates, commenting on pending legislation, and threatening politicians. Her correspondence was so incriminating that Deborah wore surgical gloves to type the letters on special typewriters that would then be disposed of.
1:39:44
Another aspect of Layton's work was to falsely establish Jones in the league with the Soviets. In 1978, she framed a defection from the temple and escaped to Washington, D.C. under an escort of Richard McCoy, who we came across multiple times in Gladio. He was at the time the CIA station chief in Georgetown. Layton, in turn, received a lot of media attention after
1:40:11
writing a tell-all book claiming that her family were innocent victims of the Jones cult when actually they were part of it. Leo Ryan was born in Nebraska in 1925 and was the son of a newspaper man who he inherited a compelling interest in investigative journalists. He served in the Navy, had a master's degree in education, and he went out to San Francisco to teach high school.
1:40:39
Ryan first became involved in politics by campaigning against McCarthy-era witch hunts. And he was elected to Congress in 72. He had a reputation as an investigator. He championed prison reform to include having himself interned in a prison out there for a week. In Congress, Ryan fought to cut aid to the Marcos regime in the Philippines, which was another CIA propped it up.
1:41:07
dictator, and he campaigned for reforming the CIA. His district, which was dubbed Silicon Valley, became the center of high tech and was thoroughly infiltrated with spies. Domestic operations were prohibited by the CIA, which never stopped him. And this prompted Ryan to draft an amendment with Harold Hughes, a Democrat from Iowa, to
1:41:36
control the CIA's illegal operations of spying in Silicon Valley because he knew they were doing it. In 74, the Hughes-Ryan Amendment to Foreign Assistance Act, which was signed into law, transferred responsibility for overseeing the CIA from the Armed Services Committee, which is basically the military, which often turned a blind eye to the agency activities because it got them work to the Foreign Relations Committee in both the House and the Senate.
1:42:06
It further required the CIA to notify eight separate committees of anything that they wanted to do. It banned them from doing CIA covert paramilitary operations, not specifically approved by Congress and the president. The CIA fought both measures tooth and nail. And basically because of Watergate and the revelations of the CIA abuses in Vietnam.
1:42:32
Ryan subsequently got a seat on the Foreign Affairs Committee for CIA oversight. So that put him right in the crosshairs. Ryan angered the CIA not only because of the Hughes-Ryan Amendment, but also because in 75, Ryan leaked word that the CIA's involvement in the Angolan Civil War to a CBS News anchorman, and it embarrassed the agency, which reverberated for years. Ryan tried to pressure the agency to reveal its...
1:43:01
the extent to which it was involved in the mind control experiments. Among the tests he pushed to expose were those performed in the 1970s on inmates in Vacaville, California, which included Donald DeFreeze, known as Sheik, a central figure in the 1974 kidnapping of Patricia Hearst, with whom Jones himself had connections.
1:43:31
In the course of his investigation into MKUltra, he uncovered the CIA had sponsored several cults that practice mind control on their members. These included the Unification Church, whose leader was Reverend Moon in Korea, the Symbionese Liberation Army headed by DeVries and the People's Temple. Now, what's interesting about this, because again, patterns.
1:44:01
So on another search, when we were researching South America, we found out that both in Paraguay and Uruguay, there were lots of mercenaries from Korea, South Korea, from the Reverend Moon's cult. So all of this plays together. Ryan had been an old friend of Sammy Houston's, whose son Bob had been his student at Berkeley High School.
1:44:33
was part of the People's Temple Band. After having a falling out with Jones, he was crushed by a train in a railroad yard that he worked as a switchman. They knew he was murdered because his gloves had been taken off when the man, when he got to work, he put his gloves on and he never took them off until he went home. And that was their indication that somebody had messed with this guy's body.
1:45:04
and he was trying to basically defect, get out of the cult, and he was murdered. Bob's killings look to have been part of Jones' master plan to lure Ryan to Jonestown and then kill him. Soon after Bob's death, Ryan visited Sammy's home and asked him to look into his son's death and gave his two granddaughters, who had gone to Jonestown and Guyana, which Ryan did.
1:45:33
So he had additional family members that were part of the cult. So who knows, maybe that guy was murdered as a result to pique his interest to basically set him up. Prior to his trip to Jonestown, Ryan had provided with reports of brainwashing, beating, blackmailing murders of temple members and their relatives for anyone who tried to get out.
1:45:58
Following his assassination, even conservative observers felt that the CIA had deliberately failed to warn Ryan of the potential dangers in Jonestown because they hated him for his sponsorship of the legislation. Colonel Prouty said that Leo Ryan had moved in too close to certain skeletons that could never be safely disturbed. A relentless and uncompromising investigator, nothing could stop Ryan short of violence.
1:46:29
When Joe Holsinger was informed about Ryan's death, the facts were confirmed by a CIA report indicating the CIA agent was present at the time. Although revealingly a key person enticing Ryan to visit Jonestown was Deborah Layton, the supposed defector. When Tim Stone
1:46:54
A People's Temple attorney who had been arrested in Berlin in the 1960s for espionage charges, Layton prepared a dossier for Ryan and the Secretary of State, Cyrus Vance, making accusations against Jones. She in turn contacted and met with Ryan in San Francisco, and during the meeting, Layton encouraged Ryan to go to Jonestown to investigate.
1:47:22
More than 20 months after Leo Ryan was killed, his five adult children tried to sue the government. They asked for $3 million, basically claiming that the colony had been infiltrated with CIA agents and that Philip Blakely was one of them, talked about the MKUltra. The lawsuit claimed that Richard Dreyer was basically a CIA agent.
1:47:51
agent and that he was the one responsible for arranging the transportation, which basically resulted in his death and made the case that because he had basically, you know, tried to hold the CIA responsible that they had maliciously murdered him. It alleged that Dwyer was an agent employee of the CIA and that he knowingly basically set him up. The lawsuit was dismissed for reasons that were never fully explained.
1:48:22
Every time he made a move, he said a warning would arrive at his doorstep. This happened to the attorneys that were involved. It also happened to journalists that were involved that basically were trying to intimidate them into dropping it. After Joel Holzinger accused Jones of being part of the CIA covert operation in Guyana before a House Foreign Affairs Committee,
1:48:49
Congress carried out a second investigation that found no conclusive proof to those allegations because they didn't want to end up like the guy, right? This is just so stupid. Holsinger asserted that the U.S. Embassy official Richard Dwyer and Richard McCoy, Temple member Tim Carter and Guy Spence, one of the pilots at the airstrip where Ryan was killed.
1:49:14
were agents and informants for the CIA. He also believed that the CIA set Ryan's assassination up because the California Democrat offered that amendment slash law. The Jonestown continued to fascinate Americans with evidence that continued on production of new movies and documentaries, basically lying about the entire thing. At the 30-year anniversary of Jonestown, William Holsinger, the son of Ryan's aide Joe, said,
1:49:44
Quote, whether there is some broader conspiracy in what it might have consisted of or matters, I have determined to leave to future generations. So that's basically it. I wanted to get that information out because it's going to be part of a conversation we're going to have after the video podcast tomorrow with Alpha Warrior. Because what you find is.
1:50:13
just about all of our history and the events that you and I have lived through, our government has lied to us about everything. And we have to get this information out about our real history or we're never going to be able to fix our country. We think we're fixing one thing and it isn't even what's broke. That's how crazy this is. So...
1:50:44
I also want to foot stomp this one thing so that everybody understands. I just gave you a nuts and bolts down on ground zero of something that went on that we were totally lied to about. But I want to explain to you why. We have talked on different podcasts about what they did to Lumumba in Congo. They had uranium.
1:51:14
Gaza has oil off the coast. Iran has lithium and oil. Haiti has $20 billion in gold that their crooked government that's installed by the U.S. issues mining contracts for, which is unconstitutional according to the current constitution. And when these mining companies shows up, the locals run them out of town. And then they're called gangs for doing that.
1:51:44
Because their government won't institute their constitution. So the Haitians took it into their own hands and told those miners, get the hell out of our town. You're not going to destroy our town. And as a result, these Western companies, both the U.S. and Canada, that has contracts to mine that gold in Haiti, they will burn the country down before they leave those resources in the ground. Or to the benefit of the Haitian people.
1:52:14
That's how desperate and how nasty and evil these people are. It is about the resources. Niger has uranium and they're in a pissing contest with France. So the I would venture to say if we went back and look at the Charlie Manson incident, that there's probably a lot of very similar.
1:52:44
aspects to that we already know he was in laurel canyon he was the non-attributed backup band for or house band for many of the albums that were recorded out there um and uh just so many uh aspects of our history has been a lie so um we're going to one story at a time bring you the truth um thanks for being here i appreciate it
1:53:12
And hopefully if you have a little bit more spare time, you'll be back at seven for us to go into our next chapter of Golden Lily in the Gold Warriors. So I will be back here at seven. Thanks for being here.
