Roselyn and the good reverend.........There’s a movie about this guy that answers the question: Is Powers Booth one of the best actors in Hollywood?
The answer is damm yes - he plays this guy well enough to scare the heck out of you. The movie (or maybe it was a mini-series) is well worth the watch.
Most don’t know Harvey Milk was one of Jim Jone’s biggest political supporters.
It devolved into an “anti-racist” cult whose rhetoric you hear today out of any racist progressive.
I watched a show on either the History Channel of discovery recently that talked about this group. Scary crap and yes, echo’s of todays so-called progressives.
The music really ruins this video. It’s much louder than the audio track, interferes with it, distracts from it, and makes the whole presentation painful to watch/listen to.
I wish they would have left out that stupid overlay of unnecessary “music”.
I would have liked to have just heard the raw footage, unadorned.
It’s an interesting story and they mucked it all up.
Absolutely I knew that. On the heels of the mass suicide, it was fairly well known that Jones’ Marxist-Leninist leanings were what guided the formation of the commune at Jonestown. It was a mix of self-worshipping mysticism and marxism.
Accuracy in Media told us that way back in 1978. I read their entire unexcerpted account back then.
BTW why didn’t you just post the whole blog? If it’s important enough to post a thread, then post the content.
There was another one 7 years later, the Rajneesh cult. Also on Youtube.

If you say so.
I still see it as the act of a crazy man, paranoid beyond belief, who somehow managed to convince a bunch of weak willed humans to follow him to hell.
Sometimes evil is just evil, not needing a mark on the political spectrum. JMO.
For some strange reason, Jim Jones reminds me a lot of Congressman Alan Gayson.
Jim Jones is proof that liberal idiots looking for “utopia” and not personal responsibility are gullible enough to kill themselves. They’ll do anything anyone tells them to do. Liberals always preach “open mindedness”, yet, they always fail to think for themselves.
