I would reccomend looking into it. There is a very good audio documentary series covering it all done by a podcast called Necronomipod which is insanely in depth and detailed as one of the boomers on there is an absolute fricking autist over the topic.

Do you think they still mimic the screams? A lot of the tape was doctored by Jones before his suicide...maybe you could repiece the events of the massacre by bribing the parrots with enough crackers...
we need to track them down… find out what they know… they could be in possession of vital information…
>Imagine the smell
whats worse is most of the bodies were transported back to the us and were held even longer before burial could be figured out (no one wanted them apparently)
imagine hundreds of partially decomposed corpses festering in a humid air base hangar
iirc it was more that identification was difficult and that a lot of the people were either former loners/hobos or they brought their family with them and they were all killed together with no surviving relatives. You need to remember that a lot these people were black and from poor communities.
A bunch of the adults there were forced at gun point or simple coercion by other cult members. The children were all forced by hand. Go listen to the tape he left, that shit is down right demoniac.
Jonestown was a leftie cult led by a mentally ill faux-Christian white Marxist pastor from California who ran the Peoples Temple where he presided over an almost all-black congregation with deep ties to the Democratic party including Diane Feinstein and Jerry Brown.
Technically most christians are not christians. Muslims were once considered christians. Mormons are still considered christian for some reason. You could argue that catholics are heretics and therefore not christian.
Religion works a lot like cladistics, where birds are and are not dinosaurs depending on how you want to spin your argument.

horribly inaccurate analogy, not surprised your peabrain thinks it's an apt comparison.
What's so Christian about a guy who continually visited Cuba and praised Castro, called Mao Zedong his "hero", openly aligning himself with Communist regimes all over the world which had invariably repressed Christians. His ideology was first and foremost Marxism with a focus on feminism and pro-black politics, similar to Angela Davis and Martin Luther King, who also used Christianity as a guise to further Marxism in the US at the behest of the Soviet Union.
Jones himself wished to be a Communist dictator which is what drove him to become a freebooter and starting his own colony down in Guyana, which led to absolute disaster of course. But people only ever talk about that part, that and the Kool-Aid, not his origins as an pro-black revolutionary in San Francisco. Democrats want to memoryhole just how powerful this guy was. In California he rubbed shoulders with the governor, he had a frequent audience with Jimmy Carter and his wife Rosalynn. They took his counsel and listened to his advice. Harvey Milk, Dianne Feinstein, Jerry Brown, Willie Brown, all the big movers and shakers of the Civil Rights considered him one of their leaders.
But nobody talks about that.

Because it's not true. Reagan was the big Jim Jones advocate, Carter despised him.

Damn. It occurs to me I never actually looked deeper into this guy beyond le whacko cult that poisoned people. All of that sounds about on point if he really was a “””civil rights””” activist. That ‘movement’ was filled to the brim with crypto-communists and such.

Jones to his parrots:
Imagine the smell..where are the vultures? You'd think they'd be having a field day
>Imagine the smell
whats worse is most of the bodies were transported back to the us and were held even longer before burial could be figured out (no one wanted them apparently)

As in even their families didn’t care to figure something out? That’s morbidly sad and funny.
iirc it was more that identification was difficult and that a lot of the people were either former loners/hobos or they brought their family with them and they were all killed together with no surviving relatives. You need to remember that a lot these people were black and from poor communities.
oh wow i dont think i ever saw uncensored pics of this

What am I looking at
Jones town I think
Oh. I don’t think I’ve ever seen photos of the bodies. Only ever heard the audio of the kool-aid drinking.

>h-he wasn't actually christian...
ohhh the delicious cope
He's probably getting him mixed with the Heaven's Gate morons. Those praised aliens.
