Chances are, you've heard the saying don't drink the Kool-Aid - which, contrary to popular belief, is technically incorrect since the victims actually drank Flavor Aid. The adage refers to Jim Jones, a cult leader who gave his followers cyanide-laced punch, resulting in the mass murder-suicide of more than 900 people. The Jonestown cult started as the Peoples Temple, in which Jim Jones preached racial equality and an end to segregation, and even won awards for his civil rights work. However, as Jones's teachings got out of hand, by including fake healings and violent outbursts, the Peoples Temple took a different turn

Hmmm socialism/communism/religion and race-baiting. Who would've thought that all those put together with their heros being Che Guevara and Lenin would commit a genocide on themselves. Here we are again with the left and politicians trying to race bait and push identity politics calling for the extermination of all white people but it's supposed to be a utopia. We see socialism tried in the USSR, Nazi Germany, Venezuela and we see that they all committed genocide and killed off millions and destroyed great cultures and historical documents. China is committing a genocide with Uyghurs and Fallen Dafa and any political opposition. But they still want to push this in the west and claim it's a utopia. Pick any one of those places that I named and tell me which utopia was the best and how good could it have been having people risk their lives to get out of those places. The sad thing is most of these people who have been brainwashed into thinking these ideologies are superior were never taught the horrors that the same ideology has committed in history up to the modern day. I just don't get it, but then again I had my grandparents tell me the horror stories of their lives and how they were affected and treated by these ideologies in their home country before the left and came to the west.

My god, this is something. You probably meant it as entertainment but it's quite the education -- that is, if true. (Never any documentation on these) I've been studying the Jonestown CIA project and massacre for many years but have never heard most of what you say here -- it has the ring of truth and seems to match the rest of the story.
Rather than being a failed attempt at interracial utopia as many people think, Jonestown was a sober lesson in racial pied-pipery. The race problems we've got today are entirely because the sheeple were willing to listen to often jewish race agitators of the 50s, 60s and on. Jones led them to holocaust, others have led to Antifa and BLM destroying one city downtown after another over race crimes than never happened. The real legacy of JJ, MLK et al (music by Peter, Paul and Mary) isn't kumbayah but burn, baby, burn.

He was not going to be a great leader of Civil Rights if he was Marxist. You left that out. That and these people were all Marxists as well. Of course the sympathy factor for them would split into at least half if not out right zero if people knew this. However most were disadvantaged for whatever reasons which was sad and why and how Marxism wins over so many people even today. Hence why we have no institutions that defend freedom and capitalism anymore. No doctors, lawyers, priests, or people who run our educational institutions. I also don't understand why if Jim Jone's son said that he (his father) was crazy before he entered into adulthood why no one else knows this.

8: 17 Zimbardo was also the one to conduct the Stanford Prison Expirement, if I remember correctly, so take that fact with a grain of salt.
Edit: I've also read 1984 multiple times. the similarities aren't really there. Newspeak (for example) was designed to make language shorter so that people would be unable to express dissent. That isn't what happened in Jonestown when residents were forced to thank Jones.

Leslie Wagner Wilson and the group she helped lead the morning of when it happened, didn't just walk 30 miles to freedom. Her account on CNN in its special for the 30th anniversary described walking along a railroad line, and even a train stopped to pick them up. They rode to the last stop, Matthew's Ridge, saw heavily armed soldiers and police, and realized something bad was happening.

Harvey Milk was part of Peoples Temple as they got him elected. He was assassinated because Governor Jerry Brown, (who can also credit Jones for his own ascension to power in California) was purging everyone who was associated with Jones. This was not proven but Pelosi burned ALL PT records as did Brown immediately afterwards which raises HUGE red flags.

Two phrases that will forever haunt me.
A child wailing I Don't Feel Good as cyanide enters their system.
And Jones saying Mother Mother Mother Mother Please! As he attempts to console a hysterical woman as she watches a group of children die.
I wasn't there (obviously) but that recording is Visceral.

What about Goa inquisition in India 1552 to 1812. What about Red Indians of America, Where they disappear and who is responsible? Who is responsible for Kashmiri pandits genocide of 1989-90? Is these are not crimes according to so called hypocrites? Are anybody punished for these crimes?

More than 20 crore innocent people killed in the name of Religion in recent 1000 years of human history ( in India alone it is 8 to 10 crore Hindus, compare to this Jim Jones crime is nothing bigger than this religious extremism crime.

He was also appointed to the position of HUD leader in San Francisco and rubbed elbows with Willie Brown. you know, the guy Kamala Camel Face screwed to get her a job in government
These people wanted communism. and they got it

reply

They were given flavour aid! He was so cheap, he couldnt even give them the more expensive stuff! Terrible, terrible incident and the example of what happens when a madman has an organisation that thinks hes a god.
reply

Imagine going to Jonestown expecting it to be a paradise, then all within a few days, you realize it's hard agricultural labor, men with guns, heat, bugs, bad food and shitty living conditions.
reply

I'd put Jim Jones as one of the most evil men in history next to stalin and mao. It's funny how communism always leads to mass death of its citizens by a centralized power structure or leader.

I'm listening to these videos in the background as a work, and every time there's a gunshot sound effect I jump a little. A really effective way to communicate the gravity of the situation.

Sometimes people who are desperate and hurting go looking for a savior. There's only one savior who can save you and that is the maker of this universe. God himself. Only God can save you!
reply

12 minutes just isn't enough to get into Jones himself and Jonestown. I highly recommend stephanie harlowes series on this. I've read and watched a lot about this and i learned new things
reply

Why did people follow him? Because they are idiots that's why. They freaking helped him fake his miracles so they knew he was a fake and a liar. What did they expect?
reply

I went to aSdrmon of his n to meet him n which I did you would, nt think woulda done this but then again looks n a too s can be very decie ving like they say.
reply

There is a lost of audio tape of Jim Jones, I suggest go listen to this guy, it is entertaining and you will hear one of the craziest people ever.
reply

I never heard of Jim Jones til I saw this. I wondered why no one didn't see red flags with him from the beginning of his spiritual healing powers.
