Jonestown: 13 Things You Should Know About Cult Massacre (Similarities with Seattle/Chop?)
Rolling Stone ^ | May 29, 2020 | David Chiu

Until the September 11th attacks, the tragedy in Jonestown on November 18th, 1978 represented the largest number of American civilian casualties in a single non-natural event. It is unfathomable now, as it was then, that more than 900 Americans – members of a San Francisco-based religious group called the Peoples Temple – died after drinking poison at the urging of their leader, the Reverend Jim Jones, in a secluded South American jungle settlement. Photographs taken after the carnage forever document the sheer enormity of the event: the bodies of hundreds of people, including children, lying face down in the grass. Nearly 40 years later, the infamous and horrific event continues to fascinate us through numerous books, articles and documentaries.

The story of Jonestown begins with Jones, a white minister who preached unconventional socialist and progressive ideas to a predominantly African-American congregation, called the Peoples Temple. At the height of its popularity during the 1970s, the Temple had a membership estimated in the thousands and was courted by local politicians in San Francisco, including Harvey Milk. But by 1977, Jones had grown paranoid from the media scrutiny over the Temple’s suspicious activities, so he and his numerous followers moved to an agricultural settlement (a.k.a. Jonestown) in Guyana, the remote country east of Venezuela.

Concern over the welfare of those in the jungle encampment prompted U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan to visit Jonestown in November 1978. After checking out the settlement, Ryan was shot to death along with four other people by Temple gunmen at an airstrip. Following those murders, Jones commanded his followers to drink cyanide-laced punch, starting with the children first. In all, there were over 900 who died in Jonestown, including Jim Jones, who was found dead of a gunshot wound to the head.

I think RS published this article in late May with the intent that it be used to stereotype Trump supporters. Timing us everything- CHOP seems more like Jonestown as time marches on ....

I, for one, think emulating Guyana is an excellent idea for the antifarts. Drink the kool-aid, that will show those fascists!

Nah.
Npt saying it isn’t an interesting read, but...

BLM is based upon prison society.
The “Blacks” are the rulers and there is no law.
Fear rules all.

I have been leaving posts on gulagtube to the effect that Jones would be a leader of Antifa today. The same anti-Americanism, the drug use, the bisexuality, the paranoia and guns. We can only hope that the left drinks the Kool-Aid en masse.

Jones was very close to the Democratic Party power struture in San Francisco, including Dianne Feinstein. Jones's attorney Charles Garry was working with Hillary Clinton at Yale to support the Black Panthers. While working with Garry, Hillary attended a fundraiser where she met former Communist Party attorney Robert Treuhaft, who was now representing the Panthers in California. Hillary ended up interning for the San Francisco law firm of Treuhaft, Walker, and Burnstein, which was then gearing up to support black Communist Party member Angela Davis.

“The horrific event continues to fascinate us.

Because Jim Jones was possessed, supported by Jerry Brown, and had a very wicked laugh. 900 dead did not satisfy Jim Jones. He was fixed on taking numerous to hell with him. The stories are horrific. I do not wish to type some of the stories from Jonestown here, because I wish to sleep well tonight.

If fascinated by Jim Jones, a minor possession, then read up on exorcisms by Fr. Gabriel Amorth. He was the real deal. Fascinating to a point, then downright frightening.

No need to be fascinated by evil. Simply pray the rosary every day, use holy water daily, go to confession and mass monthly and weekly. That’s it. Avoiding hell does not take much time.

The modern meaning of "Social Justice" was started by Jim Jones. Jones USED blacks rather then attacking them as his father did as a Klansman.
Jim Jones was the reason for the big switch from the party of the Klan to the party of pity.

"I was constructed in a garage in Palo Alto'" - Hillary Clinton Feinstein, Pelosi, Jerry Brown, Jane Fonda, Harvey Milk and Jim Jones all hang in Palo Alto where Jim Jones lived. Hillary didn't say she hung out with Jim Jones but she implies it. Jimmy Carter had a number of meetings with Jim Jones.

Jim Jones was running a number of criminal actions in the elections around San Francisco. look up at Wikipedia which isn't bad in this case "Peoples Temple in San Francisco" Pelosi got her start from him. After Jonestown was formed you can hear video of official representatives from the USSR came there to make a speech.

Jim Jones was a hard core atheists that coined the term Sky god and was a hard core communist. His father was a Klansman. That makes sense why he had so many black at JonesTown and San Francisco. Part of his money raising racket was Social security fraud through the peoples Temple. He had communal living of blacks with them handing over they SS checks.

He would also call blacks "Negro" and he was one of the first to use the term "social justice" It does seem like Jim Jones is the one that turned the democrat party from the party of the Klan to pandering to blacks.

Jim Jones was the son of James T. and Lynetta Putnam Jones. The father was a member of the Ku Klux Klan.<<< That is why Jim Jones had demonrat support.

Wikipedia does a fair job with more details

Thank you guys. I wonder what Fr. Gabriel Amorth would think of the current pope regarding exorcisms?

Jim Jones is who created the democrat party as they are today. The racism is far far worse today in the democrat party then when the Klan was at it's peak. Today it's based on pity and complete absolute superiority to the point they don't even think about it. It's no longer based on hate. hate would mean there is a feeling that there is a a threat

John 3:16

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.

John 14:6

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.”

John 14:6

“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. 7 If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.”

John 14:6 is very important to know in our time.

BLM is a theology where people are held accountable for the sins of their ancestors (white guilt). BLM preaches the way to redemption/salvation for those sins is to kneel into submission to this theology. If you do not take a knee you are a racist/hater.

Many corporations are taking a knee to this theology, they are implementing training programs to indoctrinate their employees into this theology.

If you express your disapproval (refuse the mark of the beast) of this new theology, the followers of this new theology will set out destroy you on social media (label you as a hater) and take away your ability to earn a living. They are doing this to business owners and people on YouTube now.

This theology is anti-Christian, the bible teaches we are not responsible for the sins of your ancestor. The theology of BLM/White Privilege is a theology of the Anti-Christ. It has all the markings of things to come so beware.

Remember the only way to salvation is through Christ. Taking a knee to a man will not give you redemption.

```

Raz Simone has been photographed handing out handguns and assault style weapons from his personal collection to minors from the trunk of his Tesla - no training needed. After the first “hand out” to a minor, each subsequent one is counted as a separate felony. You’ll have to look on various twitter feeds - Raz Simone, Lara Logan, Andy Ngo for the images and videos.

One minor with a hot and swelled head and the firefight begins

Jones preyed upon a largely black congregation, with the blessings and sponsorship of many California politicians and wannabe’s.

Nancy Pelosi, Willie Brown and several Governors called him an ally, if not friend. He could mobilize the vote, and deliver donations.

He was a hard core Democrat, which means Marxist since at least 1964. Did Feinstein also friend him and benefit in the form of campaign cash? I would bet so.

Yes, exactly. Might makes right.

What is important is all people MUST join a clan, or be the prey of others.

In prison you have 4 factions, Blacks, White supremacists, Latino gang, and Muslims. If you stay outside of these groups like most Americans would logically do, you will be picked off and forced to choose. THAT is what goes on inside, now brought outside.
