The C. O. W. S. Michael Meiers' Was Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment? Part 12 #PatriceLumumba
The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 12th study session on Michael Meiers' Was Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment. This infamous mass murder has countless parallels to our recent literary selections - Columbine, Michael Swango, and The Hart murder-suicide. The Rev. Jim Jones, a White man born in a Racially Restricted Region of Indiana, took a thousand people from California to Guyana, South America. On November 18th, 1978, Jones killed nearly all 1,000 of his mostly black followers and orchestrated the assassination of Congressman Leo Ryan. Some were shot, but most were poisoned with cyanide, just like "Double-0 Swango." For nearly half a century, this event has been conventionally understood as a bunch of brainwashed black loons following a White charlatan to their demise in the jungle. Meiers' work suggests something far more nefarious. Last week, Meiers provided historical context for the area known as Guyana - including meddling and disruption by the CIA and White people in the US and UK. Rev. Jones had political clout with non-white government officials in South America, which allowed for the Peoples Temple to access thousands of acres of land for pennies and permitted the sect to traffic guns, narcotics and people with no interference from customs officials. Meiers also began to detail the drug experimentation Jones was conducting. This the main theme for Meiers' work and the reason given for why practically everyone at Jonestown had to be slaughtered. #PlanetOfTheApes #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
