Peoples Temple\/Jonestown as part of MK ULTRA mind control experiment, Jones as a CIA operative.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

IN PLAIN SIGHT: Proof that it was NOT Peoples Temple that killed the congressman<\/a><\/p>\n

CIA killed congressman Leo Ryan and the others on the airstrip and wanted the massacre to happen in Jonestown. That for them was the \u201doptimal\u201d outcome. CIA also framed the \u201ddead cultists\u201d for the murder of Ryan. All in the name of Cold War.<\/p>\n

I Rest This Case: In Defense of \u201dIn Plain Sight\u201d<\/a><\/p>\n

Peoples Temple Was Not a Cult of Assassins<\/a><\/p>\n

Temple members didn’t assassinate Congressman Leo Ryan. The actual assassins were highly-trained, brutal, professional military hit-team assembled by CIA. Al and Jeannie Mills were government agents which ultimately led to their demise.<\/p>\n

A Different Course<\/a><\/p>\n

Diana and Elmer Mertle (a.k.a. Jeannie & Al Mills) were FBI plants in the Temple with ties to Treasury Department, Interpol, Customs and ATF. Government agents were afraid of exposure and killed them in a preemptive hit. Tim Stoen was a CIA plant constantly provoking terrorism in church’s ranks. They are complicit in the Jonestown massacre. As are others who falsely labeled Jonestown as an armed camp, made up other fallacious claims and signed groundless affidavits.<\/p>\n

Notorious Incident in L.A. a\/k\/a \u201dKill The Messenger\u201d Setting the Record Straight (Including the Psychiatric Pathology of Jim Jones)<\/a><\/p>\n

Jones was raped by his father when he was still a child. This incident was the cause for his erratic and disturbing behavior. She (Laurie) channelled a text called \u201dAllegory\u201d from an otherworldly being (a ghost) that predicted the mass death in Jonestown, and for that she was sadistically and brutally humiliated in a Temple meeting. The CIA’s \u201dblack ops\u201d killed the anti-CIA congressman instead of Peoples Temple and the on-site NBC footage is the proof of that. Later CIA framed the \u201dcult crazies\u201d (who were headed for Russia and had to be stopped) and FBI covered it up. Children of the massacre were \u201dcollateral damage.\u201d Two months prior suicides government agent Joseph Mazor came into Jonestown and threatened the community with \u201dmass extermination.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jim Jones, MK-ULTRA Poster Child<\/a>, by Kathy (Tropp) Barbour (2017)<\/p>\n

Jonestown and The Social Psychology of Accepted Truth<\/a>, by David Godot (2005)<\/p>\n

Unanswered Questions About Jonestown<\/a><\/p>\n

Who Silenced Joe Holsinger?<\/a><\/p>\n

Holsinger, a Legislative Assistant of Leo Ryan had voiced his opinion in several publications that U.S. government had constructed and passed on an elaborate disinformation campaign to conceal the real truth about the Jonestown massacre, which was mass murder. Therefore he was intimidated by CIA to keep his silence.<\/p>\n

Three Cheers After the Tragedy from ”A Lot of People” \u2013 Who Were They?<\/a><\/p>\n

Revisiting the Jonestown Tragedy: Newly Released Documents Shed Light on Unsolved Murders<\/a>, with Jan Thorpe<\/p>\n

CIA had planted the airstrip killers in Peoples Temple, and the killings were carried out in a professional manner. Ryan was assassinated due to his investigations into CIA’s mind control programs. Those programs were ongoing in Jonestown,\u00a0amount of anti-psychotic drugs and tranquilizers found on the site were proof of that. People of Jonestown were shot and injected with cyanide. Airlift support and hundreds of body bags were already on hold for the victims of this mass murder.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Jonestown, the CIA and the Mystery Tape<\/a>, by David Parker Wise (2005)<\/b><\/p>\n
