Curiosity got the better of me and I looked up Jim Jones on Getty Images.
The rotting body of Jim Jones was the worst. Ugh.
I was watching a documentary on it a while back and the people who flew over could actually smell the decaying bodies from the plane.

Did he get an Emmy for that? I hope so. It is truly an incredible production, and Powers Boothe is beyond great in it. It’s also very accurate as to the reality of what went down. No need to dramatize much — it was already pretty dramatic in real-time story. I remember well when it happened, and I’ve gone back and re-researched the articles of the day in library files. The movie Guyana Story pretty much nails it. And it’s pretty clear, if I remember correctly, that Jones’ political connectons were Democrats and liberals.

I cannot believe how sick and depraved he was.
You have to watch out for charismatic people;they can be evil and manipulative.

He was an atheist, who cynically realized that he could cloak his Marxism under the guise of religion.

Yeah,he got the Emmy Award.
It’s pretty good for a TV movie.
I have it on DVD.

He was so good, that to this day whenever I see him in a movie, I still see him as Jim Jones.

He was also an atheist.
So there goes the theory that religion is responsible for the world’s evils.

I personally believe Obama, Holder and especially Sebelius are as bad or worse than Jones.
Something extremely odd to me about Jonestown is that it was in Guyana. I had a professor who had served with Army intelligence in Guyana when it was just gaining it’s freedom from Britain.
The Blacks in Guyana were led by communists while the less numerous East Indians were more pro British. According to this professor, and I believed him (and had a reason to) there were demons in Guyana which made themselves known to the British Soldiers with which he served.
I believe Guyana was particularly used by Satan. That is why I think Jones went there.

He was good-looking when he played Jim Jones. (Does that sound sick?)
He was 31 at the time.
He has a two-minute part in ‘The Avengers’.
What kind of s*** is that?

But Bob Gunton (the warden from ‘Shawshank Redemption’)is giving him a run for his money. ;)

The thing about this is that all the stuff that “progressives,” especially “religious progressives,” claim to stand for was basically what Jim Jones was all about. He was the logical conclusion of their demented views.

Urban renewal czar Justin Herman the Robert Moses of San Francisco had literally destroyed the neighborhood, observed community activist Hannibal Williams, [and] people were desperate for solutions, something to follow. I'd really like to know more about the particulars of this.
