TK and Roy are the most adequate romantic candidates for Y/N. Peter is a psycho, Don is quite mature (Don is hot but still an old man), Lucy is not interested in a relationship, Vio is the same as Lucy, Daniel is in love with Peter.

UC member Barbara Burrowes had connections to the CIA-sponsored fascist dictatorship of Guyana

The following excerpts were originally posted on the old WIOTM by "Don Diligent" posted on the old WIOTM on December 10, 2016. (WIOTM archive link)

▲ Barbara Burrowes Van Praag

Barbara Burrowes - August 1970

(In 1962) NATO called me for a job which was never before given to a civilian. After three years, the job ceased, so I left for Rome.

Barbara Burrowes - July 16, 1971

Today is my seventieth day in Guyana and quite a lot has transpired since my arrival on May 1st…I am working at the National History and Arts Council, a division of the Ministry of Information and Culture. It covers all branches of the arts as well as archaeological findings, Government celebrations etc.

Barbara Burrowes - March 22, 1972

While in Washington our Leader instructed me to send two young men to Washington for IFVC training.

Barbara Burrowes - July 19, 1972

The Guyanese Family is increasing although I would like the rate to be much faster. Some of the young people are jobless so I have to use some influence and get the employment.

Barbara Burrowes - February 1973

On January 19th, the Family entertained visitors with a film show by the British Council at the Center. After the show there was some valuable give and take with ourfriends who were encouraged to return and listen to Divine Principle.

There were two articles about the Family in the Government owned ‘Sunday Chronicle’. The first article was very well written and photos were displayed on the whole middle page of the newspaper. The second article was not as good because many erroneous statements were made, but Barbara was allowed to insert a letter correcting same. This letter and the first article have been the talk of the nation for weeks and many people are beginning to respond positively.

Diane Ngui-Yen, radio reporter, actress and friend of the Family interviewed all the members of the Family. Members were asked what made them accept Divine Principleand why they decided to live in the Center, among other questions. This also stimulated many listeners to visit the Center.

Barbara Burrowes - May 1973

We have a lady lawyer who, after having accepted Principle, has been able to bring many people, clients and her staff, to accept Principle.

Barbara Burrowes - November 1973

Barbara Burrowes…formed the “Unified Family Singers.” Dr. Beryl Simon, the mayor of Georgetown, invited the singers to give a special concert for underprivileged children. They sang at Saint George’s Cathedral, the largest wooden structure in the world, with the President of the Republic among their listeners.

October saw the first semi-public meeting of the International Federation for Victory Over Communism, a national conference of Unified Family leaders, and open house for friends.

Barbara Burrowes - October 1985 - Our Mission in Guyana – A Brief History

During that first year I witnessed to many important people – including the prime minister of Guyana, who wanted to assign me to a special government mission.

I was interviewed by several reporters, so through both the radio and the newspapers people were informed…

August 1980 - Guyana: THE FACES BEHIND THE MASKS

For obvious reasons, given the situation described below, the author of this article, who has spent considerable time in Guyana, must remain anonymous.

Guyana’s history during the last twenty years is replete with duplicity and bizarre occurrences, many of which have been directly linked to covert CIA operations. In addition,Guyana’s Prime Minister Burnham, and his People’s National Congress Party have become accomplished at the arts of deceit, dirty tricks, covert operations, and political violence in their efforts to maintain themselves in power and privilege.

The 1961 elections were marked by further Colonial Office gerrymandering and fierce campaigning that was aided by U.S. dollars channelled through the CIA-linked Christian Anti-Communist Crusade…

On November 18, 1978, U.S. Representative Leo J. Ryan and four of his party were gunned down under the noses of Guyana Defence Force personnel and soon the world and later Guyana was to hear the horror of the Jonestown massacre.

Despite the sensational murders and “suicides” resulting in at least 914 deaths, there has been no investigation by Guyanese officials and only half-hearted prosecution of chief suspect Larry Layton. He was recently acquitted in a Georgetown court on attempted murder charges and many say he will never have to face trial for his role in the killings of Ryan, those in his party, or the hundreds of others at the People’s Temple. (Charles Beikman, the only other person to face charges related to Jonestown, has been sentenced to only two years for his throat slashing of Sharon Amos and her three children.) Defense Attorney for the cult killers is none other than Rex McKay, who has reportedly taken a sizeable fee and made large investments in the U.S.

The Jonestown death camp and related controversy, including the existence of a People’s Temple hit team, will probably never be fully explained. However, persistent rumors and abundant loose ends have led to the recent reopening of U.S. Congressional hearings intoCIA linkages with the People’s Temple. The following is a partial list of some of the factors which have fed flames of controversy.

• Ryan aide Joe Holsinger reports that a White House official told him on the night of the Ryan murder that there was a CIA report from the scene.

• Large supplies of sophisticated behavior modification drugs were found in Jonestown.

• Jonestown also was well supplied with sophisticated arms.

• Unduly large amounts of cash’ were found in the camp.

• A number of Jonestown residents were U.S. criminals on probation or parole.

• Larry Layton’s father, who admits pouring cash into the People’s Temple, was a U.S. government bio-chemist, raising the spectre of MK-ULTRA.

• First reports indicated only 300 dead and one week later the world learned of the 914 person death toll. We are asked to believe that 600-plus bodies were hidden under 300!

• The Justice Department attorney picked to handle the investigation, William Hunter, “coincidentally” had a personal relationship with Timothy Stoen, the former San Francisco Assistant District Attorney who for a time was Jim Jones’s right-hand man.

• Leo Ryan’s name appears in “Who’s Who in the CIA” by Julius Mader.

• The removal of the bodies was conducted by U.S. military personnel.

The list is endless and for the Guyanese and American people, there is little likelihood that the truth will ever reach the surface. In Guyana, the Jonestown tragedy served to focus attention on other cult groups with similar deals involving the Burnham government. These include the Moonies, a Black group from Brooklyn, New York called The East, as well as the House of Israel. The latter is a largely Guyanese cult led by a fugitive North American who calls himself Rabbi Emmanuel Washington.

Those looking for answers about Jonestown should know that the Guyanese official selected to investigate the matter is none other than the faithful Chancellor Crane, who to this day has yet to convene his first hearing on the grisly massacre.

February 1980 marked the promulgation of the new PNC constitution and the publication of still another secret deal between Burnham and CIA-linked forces. It was revealed that in October 1979, the PNC had concluded a deal with a consortium of right wing U.S. religious groups headed by Franklin Graham (Billy’s son) for a massive resettlement of Southeast Asian refugees from Thailand to the Yarikita region of Guyana near the Jonestown camp.

These were no ordinary refugees, but were in fact the remnants of the once powerful Laotian Hmong (formerly called Meo) army which was recruited by and fought for the CIA under Colonel Edward Lansdale, Hugh Tovar, Edgar “Pop” Buell, and others in the secret war in Laos.

Nor were they religious groups of the ordinary variety. They counted among their number elements of the Summer Institute of Linguistics/ Wycliffe bible translators, which has been named as a CIA front by Time magazine.

For Guyanese with a bloody history of CIA destablization, the plan was too much and widespread opposition forced the temporary postponement of this scheme to import a 40,000-strong mercenary army.

At the end of February 1980, James Mentore, head of the Special Branch and assistant Police Commissioner was fired for “leaking information to the opposition.” His dismissal and subsequent disappearance has led to much speculation as to his fate. Mentore, who received little attention by the U.S. media, has much to tell. As Security Chief he holds information that could unravel the Jonestown mystery as well as document the connections between Guyana government repression and U.S. assistance there-to. While many Guyanese suspect his disappearance can be traced to a death squad sanitizing operation, other rumors indicate his presence in the Washingotn, D.C. area as recently as June. It is known that CIA officer James Lee Adkins (named in CAIB Number 9) sought contacts with WPA members immediately following Mentore’s disappearance, ostensibly seeking information concerning the Security Chiefs whereabouts. These attempted contacts were rebuffed and the true purpose of the CIA man’s inquiry is not clear.

there is growing evidence of a well-organized network of PNC supporters in this country who continue to do the bidding of their Guyana-based masters and who finance activity with illicit drug sales. The center of the cover drug and goonsquad operations appears to be New York City and involves elements of a Guyana ex-police organization and the remnants of a New York cult. Green and McClean have made repeated visits since the assassination and are reported to have conferred with elements of the above groups in Brooklyn.

While many U.S. citizens and organizations have joined the growing condemnation of Guyana’s repressive regime, these sentiments have not been echoed by the official Washington establishment. To the contrary…the IMF and World Bank proudly announced a special joint funding package totaling 100-plus million dollars and support for a multi-billion dollar hydro-power aluminum smelter scheme slated for Guyana’s Upper Mazarumi district. These events have been heralded by the Washington Post as “good news for the Caribbean.”

Thus, with masks removed the face of imperialism is revealed and the stage is set for the final phase of the struggle by Guyana’s people against the Burnham dictatorship and the U.S. agencies which installed and have maintained it for sixteen years!

Remembering our brother in arms Steve Dillon today. Seen here alongside Tom Frame and Brett Ewins at UKCAC ( London's comic con in the 80s ) where they live drew and lettered an epsiode of Bad Company in one afternoon! Steve was our benevolent big brother, always kind, always funny and always up for a quick pint ( or 5 ) of guinness. My love and thoughts to his beautiful family today. He is always missed.
