I'm asking because it's been 40 years
Henry Morgan
He'd convinced them to after they'd attacked a plane carrying a senator who'd come to jonestown to investigate people being held there against their will.
The tape is pretty spooky.
Landon King
>christcucks will literally kill themselves and their children for god
Hunter Gonzalez
He was an unstable kook who thought he could spread communism by way of Christianity and shit the bed and panicked when he killed a sitting US senator.
Easton Kelly
Crime rates, serial killers, drug use, cults, it all peaked in the 70s. Then we started the 80s with AIDs on the horizon.
What happened during that decade?
David Brown
He'd had plans to try & take the colony to Russia, but they didn't want him after killing the senator because of the massive heat it'd bring from the US.
They were all deeply in thrall to him; one woman tries to gently question the decision to drink the kool-aid & gets aggressively shouted down by the whole crowd.
Jacob Brown
Why did he kill senator Leo Ryan?
I know nothing about this case and his reasoning for his actions
Kevin Rodriguez
He was a communist homosexual atheist. He was very friendly with a lot of Democratic politicians at the time (many of which are still alive today).
This guy is more of the Left.
Kevin Barnes
He was not a Christian. He was an atheist leftist communist.
Charles Gonzalez
Just a kook who got a bunch of blacks to follow him and off themselves.
Blake Morgan
Ryan had come after allegedly getting letters from people living in jonestown who said they couldn't leave. They were US citizens so he went to investigate.
He snuck out more or less with several poeple from JT & tried to take off as quickly as possible, but a group under orders of Jones stormed the plane & killed everyone aboard.
Logan Scott
I wonder why cults gained so much influence back then. Doesn’t seem to happen as much now.
Nolan Taylor
>the lsd, speed, and smack had nothing to do with any of it
Daniel Cox
No internet & a massive amount of common, heavy psychedelic use.
Anthony Murphy
White Self Hatred crossed with White Savior Complex before it was cool. When his LARP commune was about to be invaded (for murdering a Senator) he cracked and told everyone to kill themselves by drinking poisoned Koolaid. The hard core believers shot and or forced people to drink poison if they tried to escape. Then the hardcore ones drank the Koolaid.
Ryder Nelson
They all became "gamers"
Ryder Walker
These were the books found on the floor of the temple
Christopher Robinson
The audio for anyone interested. Highly likely to have been edited by the CIA before release.
Daniel Campbell
It's called 'college' now.
Ryan Walker
He rolled a natural 20 on his persuasion check
Christopher Hughes
Do any of you know any good movies to watch about this?
David Russell
Also, there is some stories off there being us military already on the ground in the area around jonestown, as well as the local CIA station station chief talking with Jim Jones over the radio when this went down. Supposedly local Guyana military troops had found piles of bodies that had tried to escape and already been shot out in the jungle. Not sure how true any of this is, except for the CIA involvement of course
Owen Williams
At 18:00
He started bashing white people for walking out and heard a black woman agree with him.
Landon Cox
It's possible he was a product of MKUltra?
Ethan Peterson
Massive CIA funded mind control and brainwashing experiment gone off the rails. Look up and see the quantities of crazy drugs they had and piece together how they got them in cocksucking Guyana.
Jeremiah Perez
>Kool-aid
>Koolaid
There was no Kool Aid it was Wyler's
900 deaths
300 were kids to young to walk and were made to drink the wyler's or poisoned in other ways
200 adults showed signs of beatings and forced injections
100 were shot
300 drank the Wyler's
Zachary Gray
Almost certainly the whole thing was a product of MKULTRA.
Jones sounds high as FUCK on the tape. Probable he'd been taking the shit meant for his followers to massive degrees for a good while.
Jace Flores
Destabilization. They wanted to destroy society and cohesion.
Hunter Edwards
based jim jones birthday digits
Josiah Moore
I've always been fascinated by this because it happened 4 days before my birthday, the year I was born.
Owen Jones
At the end of the tape he says: Get Dwyer out of here"
youtube.com
Is he talking about Richard Dwyer?
Mason Lee
me and jim have the same b-day.
glad to see jim is still bringing people together even to this day.
Adrian Jones
Reminder that most of his followers and most of the people who suicided themselves and their children were niggers. The media likes to ignore that pesky fact.
Nathaniel Bell
>Is he talking about Richard Dwyer?
Likely. Surprised they left that in, actually.
There was a massive coverup of it all. The US military "found" like double the number of bodies the Guyanese reported finding, almost all got cremated.
Hudson Sanders
Breitbart says this it was a Revolution Suicide for Communism. Is this true?
Blake Miller
It was Flavor-Aid or Ade actually. I vividly remember the packets and the bloated bodies
Austin Hughes
Oh, ok. So this is what they were drinking.
Camden Carter
It was one of the bullshit lines Jim gave them while talking them into it. Probably something he'd been talking on & implanting in them for a while.
It was really just a backdoor, emergency escape hatch to the whole thing. Regardless of whether the rest thought that's what they were actually doing, it was all drug & isolation induced brainwashed bullshit.
Elijah Rogers
All through the tape though, he keeps drilling into them the idea that they have nowhere to run to; and that the US & the Guyanese will show up & slaughter them all & their kids. The "revolutionary suicide" was a cherry on top, really.
Aiden Foster
It was grape flavored
Easton Reed
>overwhelmingly black colony
of fucking course it was
Josiah Adams
Act of "Revolutionary Suicide" to protest capitalism and US imperialism after their Plan A to claim asylum in the Soviet Union fell through. Listen to the tape of the last sermon, they explain themselves.
They were a New Left communist cult heavily involved in Bay-area Democrat party politics.
Charles Allen
Found an article on Jim Jones:
whale.to
Levi Walker
Yes. Listen to the primary source, the groups recorded sermons and literature. They were a New Left cult and the mass suicide was an act of revolutionary suicide in protest of capitalism and US imperialism.

Jose Gray
>virtually every pagan religion practiced regular ritual child sacrifice (and often cannibalism)
Jacob Hughes
That's how he got away with it. Thanks San Fran.

Lincoln Ramirez
Saying they joined him is a bit much considering they'd have been shot if they tried to escape and the victims included babies who had poison forcefully injected into their mouths. It was a mass murder, not a mass suicide.
Parker Watson
He’s just a gay nigger lover.
Jaxson Barnes
Jim Jones died from gunshot wounds. It’s assumed, but not proven he killed himself.
Hudson Walker
>Why did he kill himself and why did 900 others join him?
it's blumpf's fault
