Jan Klimkowski Wrote:John Judge has written very knowledgably on both the JFK assassination and Jonestown. Judge's opinion of Mark Lane is heavily influenced by the events of Jonestown.
The excerpt below is from John Judge's essay entitled The Black Hole of Guyana:
Vintage Judge [who by the way got much of his start by being a Brussell 'sprout']. He really knows how to research! I take Lane at face value on JFK. On Jonestown I vote 'present' on Lane - and have to admit, things don't add up well for Lane. He's never really been pressed on it. Jonestown is one of the (many) not-fully explored deep political events [Judge has done the best research on it, as far as I know]. Anyone who thinks it was just simply some nut playing follow the leader in the jungle with some weird followers, is naive to the extreme. Jones had intelligence written all over him, as did Jonestown. I admit it is hard to square Lane with his JFK hat on and Lane with his lawyer for Jones hat, but in this field things are not always easy to square. I can think of many permutations - from someone trying to taint his JFK work with an association with Jones, to his being an 'asset' for some sub-group that wanted some JFK truths out. And others.....
