Jim Jones People's Temple

Jim Jones People's Temple --- ===

Cliff Kinkaid: Politics, the Pope, and the New Age Movement. This report discusses the fact that, on November 18 in 1978, Peoples Temple founder and communist Jim Jones led over 900 in a "revolutionary suicide" at an agricultural commune in a remote part of the South American nation of Guyana.  Jones' personal physician and strong supporter was Dr. Carlton Goodlett, who had a long record of involvement in communist causes, including membership on the presidium of the World Peace Council, a Kremlin front.  I have just received from the FBI some important documents about Goodlett and his Soviet and Cuban connections. I will be reporting on these in the future.   A hint: it turns out Goodlett had a friend in a major political figure in San Francisco.

Mark Lane who was paid by the KGB to come up with JFK assasination conspiracy theories to lead away from Russian involvement was Jonestown lawyer:

Like many well-known San Franciscans, Goodlett's reputation was tarnished somewhat by his close association with the Reverend Jim Jonesof the Peoples Temple.[7] He was Jones' personal physician and published his church's newspaper.[13] In November 1978, Jones committed suicide in Guyana with more than 900 followers. Goodlett later said, "You don't need glasses for hindsight. Everybody is running like hell away from Jim Jones now, but none of us knew at the time."[7]

KGB Ties to Jonestown

Guyana Exploits KGB Tie to Jonestown 2018 has zero coverage of close ties of People's Temple to KGB. Washington Post seems to side with Jonestown and opposes CIA-installed government attempt to paint Jonestown as tightly bound to Russia and KGB but Jones bragged about relocating to Russia, did have close ties to Russian embassy and apparently left inheritance money to be sent to Soviets after everybody died.
By Charles A. Krause and
Washington Post Foreign Service; Washington Post special correspondent Gregory Rose contributed to this article . February 1, 1979
So many strange things happen in Guyana, long a playing field for the world's two foremost intelligence agencies, that it seemed almost inevitable to many informed diplomats and Guyanese that the KGB and CIA would somehow become involved in the Jonestown affair.

embarrassing Jonestown has turned out to be for the KGB and the Soviets, who initially thought they could reap a propaganda victory at the expense of the Americans when 900 deaths occurred.

Within days after the world learned of the mass suicide-murder, the Soviet news agency Tass called the incident another example of the sickness and decadence that pervades the United States.

 Last October, the prime minister, who was originally installed in 1964 with CIA support because Jagan was the only alternative, openly criticized Moscow for refusing to come to his aid.

Burnham began to dribble out bits of information -- some of it available from Jonestown survivors questioned by Guyanese police, some available from documents seized at Jonestown and some of it already in the possession of Guyana's security police -- detailing the Soviet links to the Peoples Temple.

Although Jonestown survivors told reporters soon after the mass suicidemurder that Soviets had visited the remote commune on more than one occasion, and that the Rev. Jim Jones spoke of moving the temple to the Soviet Union, the first hard evidence of how involved the Russians were came Dec. 6:

The Chronicle, a government-controlled newspaper, published a memo from temple files detailing a March 30 meeting between emissaires from Jonestown and Timofeyev, third secretary of the Soviet Embassy. He is now identified as a KGB major.

possibility of moving the Peoples Temple to a spot near the Black Sea.

government made public letters from Jonestown to the Soviet embassy sent just as the suicide-murder rite began.

The letters listed bank accounts where $7.2 million in temple money was deposited and instructed Timofeyev to withdraw the money for use as the Politburo in Moscow saw fit.

Guyana's Foreign Ministry said it had received from the Soviet Embassy a suitcase containing 87,000 Guyanese dollars and some tapes that had been brought to the embassy by the Peoples Temple hours after the suicide-murder was over.

talking with Jonestown survivors -- several of whom had met regularly with the Soviets. It did not take long for reporters to find Guyanese and Western sources who identified these contacts as KGB officers.
