The Jonestowning of America

...Jones ran a leftist cult of white leaders who called themselves black and exploited their mostly black congregation, endorsing the Black Panthers and other black nationalist terror groups, while serving as a core political organization for California Democrats, including former Governor Jerry Brown.

The stain of Jim Jones is still all over California. A generation of California Democrat leaders either allied with Jones or were mentored by Jones’ political allies like Willie Brown. That includes both Senator Kamala Harris and Governor Newsom. That’s why, decades later, California is still stuck in Jonestown.

Jim Jones is "what you should see every day when you look in the mirror", Governor Jerry Brown gushed. It's not what we see. But it's what Brown saw. And what so many Democrats see...

There was a guy named Jack Sparks who wrote a book called 'The Mindbenders.' It came out in '79/'80. Besides the moonies and a bunch of others, there was an analysis of Jones and the whole Jonestown thing. Jones was VERY involved in Bay Area politics. He was the go-to guy, apparently, if someone wanted the black vote, since his church was predominantly black. He was head of at least one committee for the city of SF. The analysis had Jones setting up a socialist compound in Guyana, with himself as the head. Rejecting the Gospel, he set himself up as god, with Christian songs re-written to show what a great guy and wonderful savior dude Jim Jones was.

The book is out of print. Sadly, Mr. Sparks got into legal trouble with one of the cults he mentioned in 'Mindbenders,' but there is a lot of stuff on the internet about Jones and Jonestown. But yeah, the whole 'we're gonna build a socialist utopia, even if it kills you' is still the mantra of the Dems, whether they admit it or not.

It would appear that his goal in life is to do just that!

Not very long ago someone posted a picture similar to the one below. I had to ask what the he!! is that?

I was in the southern Bay area at the time and it didn't click in my memory from so long ago. Now it does.

In 2020 the Democrats are no longer using Flavor-Aid, they will use vaccinations!

Kind of - it always ends the same but you need a calculator to add up the millions from other failed attempts.

Everything I need to know about “christian” socialism I could have learned from Jonestown; but it has a long history.

The so-called Social Gospel movement of a century and more ago laid the foundation of today’s political correctness commissars and wannabe Bolsheviki.

See tagline.

bump for later

If only law enforcement was able to stop Jones here in the US. They were getting close but a “hero” came to Jones’ rescue. Harvey Milk.

First time I heard that part... liberals don't talk about this issue much - in 40 years they'll be telling their lackey's in the press that Jim Jones was running a Republican cult and all the members were white conservatives.

Very well written article.
