Episode 06: Apostolic Socialism
Beneath Guyana’s lush canopy lies a complicated history. A land where historically, dreams of paradise become a recurring descent into madness and ruin. In this episode, we unravel the tangled roots connecting colonial violence, CIA intrigue, Cold War paranoia, and mass tragedy. From the racial and political upheavals that birthed modern Guyana to the dark alliances that paved the way for Jonestown, we trace how an ancient landscape steeped in myth, blood, and betrayal became the final stage for one of the greatest tragedies in American history.
Was Jim Jones a pawn in a greater geopolitical game? Did Jonestown serve a hidden purpose beyond revolutionary dreams? And why does Guyana, long romanticized as the lost world of El Dorado, harbor such a devastating history of mass suicide?
Follow us into the heart of a land where secret wars, broken revolutions, and restless spirits collide.
