@DB0175 Mark Lane was a coward and an opportunist who had attached himself to controversies because of his love of the spotlight, and pure greed. Jones paid him well. Lane's greed almost got himself killed in the jungle and he ran like a scalded cat.
Shyster and a coward. His book proves what a parasite that he is, profiting from the tragedy.

I'm sure mark lane is more remembered for his famous books about the J.F.K conspiracy but he also was a attorney for jonestown and was there when the tragedy occurred he and gary were led by 2 men with guns out of jonestown in a small wooden house.

@cdddraftsman it was flavor aid not kool-aid.

This Jim Jones seems like a good guy, fighting for social justice. I hope his mission in Guyana succeeds.

@swdanielson The connection between the CIA and Jim Jones from the internet:"the most mysterious connection that Jim Jones had was his childhood friend, Dan Mitrione. Mitrione later became Chief of the Richmond PD... Mitrione was later was recruited into the CIA, under State Department cover, in May of 1960, and was trained in counter-insurgency and torture techniques. Coincidentally, Mitrione had traveled to Brazil as an OPS adviser at the U.S. Consulate not long before Jones had arrived.

@tgoodfella He is still around.
Lane complicite in 900 deaths :
1978 , Jones hired Lawyer Mark Lane to make the case of a "Grand Conspiracy" by intelligence agencies against the Peoples Temple .
Lane spoke to the residents of Jonestown , providing support for Jones' theories , told them to stay and held press conferences saying :
"none of the charges" against the Temple "are true"
Jones paid him $6k/mo. for such theories .
Later that mo. 900 ppl died after taking cyanide laced kool-aid at gunpoint .

I'd say "Wow!", except these days I can no longer be surprised when I hear of Vatican agents being involved with...just about anything evil and degrading. So Jimmy "the Jews control us!" Carter's wife was connected with him to - "Wow!"
I first heard of Moscone and Mitrione in the late 1980's from punk rock group "Dead Kennedys" - their version of "I fought the law" was about his murder.
They also had a song "California Uber Alles" about Jerry Brown, who they outed as a fascist.
