- House of Israel - Guyana Under Siege www.guyanaundersiege.com/Historical/houseofisrael.htm Sometime in the mid-60s, amidst all the Civil Rights protest in the United States, one David Hill formed the House of Israel in Cleveland, Ohio, where, by then, he already had a criminal record that started decades before. Well known in the Black community there as “Bishop,” Hill teamed up with the Reverend Earnest Hilliard (known locally as the radio personality, “Prophet” Frank Thomas), and became very active in the local business sector of Cleveland. 1969, Hilliard was found in his garage, shot in his head. Although Hill was questioned as a suspect, nothing came out of the investigation. locals who eventually discovered that the duo’s plan was a scam. a Chicago grand jury found him guilty of grand theft felony charges. Bail, which was originally set at $150,000, was eventually reduced substantially. A bondsman affordably posted it, and thus, Rabbi was released…only to jump bail thereafter. By late 1971, he failed to appear in court…suddenly convincing people that Rabbi had left the country, via the assistance of government officials (which he had bragged about). He would later be convicted in absentia on two counts of larceny. After arriving in Guyana sometime in 1972, he announced himself as Rabbi Edward Washington, in an attempt to cover his true identity, and began the House of Israel (again), which would become a thug ally of the ruling PNC government, state-owned radio free of government criticism, it preached that Africans were the original Hebrews and needed to prepare for a racial war. This racial war was in Rabbi’s words, the “battle of Armageddon” between Blacks and Indians. Rabbi even boated that his organization was a “military operation” which “need to be prepared” for this eventful day. In February 1980, the WPA, using government documents, made public headlines showing that arms flowed from the Guyana Defense Force to Rabbi’s organization. colors that the members wore, which were, incidentally, the same colors of the PNC party and the Guyana Government (Guyana’s national colors). But a greater connection can be made through the terrorist nature of House members in favor of the Burnham government, beating up on opposition political activists and providing scab labor While Father Darke’s murder is the most famous of the crimes committed by House members, there were other cases. Mike James (also from Catholic Standard) and Gordon Yearwood, who was a fierce, well-known critic of Burnham were also beaten and stabbed respectively that fateful day. The police, instead of seeking to apprehend those responsible, set up guard at the House of Israel premise to prevent angry members of the public from retaliating.

Friday, June 13. 1980, in Georgetown, Guyana, Dr.
Walter Rodney, internationally acclaimed historian and
political activist was blasted to death by a bomb concealed
in a walkie-talkie device that he had been tricked into
testing. Ironically his murder, designed to silence his elo-
quent opposition, has ripped the last mask of respectability
from the Guyana government of Linden Forbes Burnham.
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 Peo-
ple’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 burden of this violence, fraud, and manipulation has
been borne by the majority of Guyana’s 827,000 citizens
who have lashed out at each other under CIA and govern-
ment-backed racial manipulation; b

'Block God' sets up new cult in Guyana By PIETER VAN BENNEKOM
GEORGETOWN, Guyana (UPI) - A year after the demise of the People's
Temple sect, a new cult is malting waves in Guyana under the leadership
of an American fugitive who came out of jail in the South after an early
civil rights protest to proclaim himself a black God. Like most former
British colonies around the Caribbean basin, Guyana has a proliferation
of sects and churches, so the appearance of a new one wouldn't be
unusual. But the House of Israel, as this cult is called, has sinister
aspects. David Hill, who changed his name to Edward Washington and then
to "rabbi" Omari Oba or God, has placed his fanatical followers at the
service of the socialist Guyana government of Prime Minister Forbes
Burnham. As a strong-armed goon squad, its members break strikes, beat
up political opponents and intimidate the populace. One person, a
priest-photographer for a Catholic weekly, was killed during a clash
between House of Israel fanatics and anti-government demonstrators.
"Rabbi" Washington doesn't shun comparisons with Jim Jones of the
People's Temple despite the macabre end of that sect. He boasts he has
even more personal control over his followers than Jones had over his.
"The great difference between me and the late Jim Jones is that he had
all Americans with one Guyanese, but we have all Guyanese With one
American — I'm the only one," Washington said in an interview. "To them I
am God. I gave my first sermon to three people and I told them, 'If I'm
not God, forget it.' "If I say it's going to snow tonight, they're all
going out to buy boots." During a church service, he told about 50 of
his assembled followers, "If I tell you I'm President Jimmy Carter, I'm
not lying, am I?" The crowd thundered approval with stomping feet and
clapping hands. At that service, Washington read from the Bible: "God
told Moses — or if you will permit me to explain it to you better, I
told Moses." His Guyanese wife, a huge woman he calls Queen Lulu,
pointed toward her husband as she sang a song, "I Have Seen God."
Washington's "doctrine" is that blacks are Jews, that Jesus Christ,
Moses and all the prophets were black, and that the people living in
Israel and elsewhere are not Jews but descendants of Esau, Jacob's
brother, "who sold his birthright for a morsel of meat." Washington
cites the miracle performed on Moses' hand, turning it "white as snow,"
as evidence that The prophet must have been black. He also calls
Egyptians black and says if Pharaoh's daughter was able to pass Moses
off as her son, he must have been black. Washington prophesied he will
be assassinated soon by another black man but will rise foom the dead in
30 days "and that's when the battle of, Armageddon will begin and I and
my chosen people will be indestructible.'' The former David Hill admits
he'.s trying to delay his death as long as possible. He travels around
Guyana in a steel-gray Cadillac, an ostentatious vehicle for Guyana,
with a driver and two armed guards at all times. :.;•'.'•' He says his
theology is racist ?apd I make no apology for that," but h e adds some
members of ^ Guyana's; large East Indian community, ipjuis ja few whites
and two Chinesj|^are- among his flock. •':•"•'!• The 51-year-pld
Washington— pudgy, short/balding, with several teeth missing - mixes
black power preachings, old-fashioned Southern revivalism and some of
the same mind control techniques Jim Jones used to maintain an absolute
hold over his Peoples Temple. He says his father died before he was born
and his mother died givng birth to him in 1928 — he doesn't know where
"cause niggers not getting birth certificates in those days." He says he
was raised by Ben Marshall, a black preacher in Nashville, Ark., and
married Marshall's daughter Ruthie after coming back home from the Navy
in World War II, then became a preacher himself in Marshall's Church of
Christ. He says he was among people trying to integrate Central High
School in Little Rock, Ark., in 1953 and drove a school bus through the
door of the school cafeteria to gain access for black children. "A
couple of hours later I was in jail with a busted head and swollen lips
and I was sentenced to one year in prison for what they called
destruction of property. "When I came out of prison, I was born again,
but not like Jimmy Carter or Billy Graham. I realized that all the
teaching of the churches was phony nonsense, that the whole meaning of
white theology is to keep a whole race oppressed. "Jesus Christ and all
the apostles and everyone but the devil was white and he was black, of
course. The church is the black man's worst enemy with its songs about a
white Christmas... "And the main black leaders were whiter than the
white man. The only difference between Martin Luther King and George
Wallace was the color of their skin. The civil rights movement didn't
change a thing ... The civil rights movement got jobs for niggers that
were hired Monday and fired Friday." Washington says he founded the
first House of Israel in Chicago in 1956. He later moved to Cleveland,
where in 1961 he organized the picketing of nine hamburger stands in the
ghettoes to force the hamburger chain to sell franchises to blacks.
"Not even a window was broken," Washington said. "But I was indicted on
nine counts of blackmail for ech one of those outlets, convicted and
sentenced to five years on each count, running consecutively — that's 45
years." He says he jumped a $50,000 appeal bond, changed his name from
David Hill to Edward Washington, got a passport in New York and headed
for Algeria. From there, he said, he visited other parts of Africa and
explored the possibility of starting a House of Israel in Haiti and Cuba
before ending up in Guyana in 1972. "In Cuba there is a better way of
life, so there was no need for a House of Israel. They don't run no ads
in no papers about coming to church on Sunday. There is no Christmas,
like in the United States, where they get the niggers to buy a whole
bunch of stuff that the trucks come back to get in June because the
blacks can't pay for ' Soon after: arriving in Guyana, Washington was
befriended by the American-born wife of Guyanan opposition leader Cheddi
Jagan, the former Janet Rosenberg of Chicago, 111. Mrs, Rosenberg, also
a Marxist, says she paid Washington's hotel bill for a week after he
told her of being a 'black persecuted by the racist, imperialist U.S.
system of justice. A member of Jagan's party said recently he was,glad,
to be speaking on the floor of parliament because if he criticized the
Burnham government on the street outside, the rabbi's people would bust
his head. Some critics estimate that Washington's followers number only a
few hundred, but he claims 8,600 members spread over 38 branches in
Guyana, as well as others in Surinam, Jamaica, Detroit, Chicago,
Cleveland and New York. The figure may be higher than that because the
faithful reportedly have infiltrated the Guyanese army, police and civil
service under cover.
