Mark Lane, the leftist lawyer and conspiracy theorist, avoided taking the poison. He had been publicly defending Jones with lies and cover-ups of serious abuses. He was there for the mass murder but his way out of the suicidal “revolutionary act.”

I read a book about Jim Jones and the San Francisco politics that led to the massacre, called, Cult City. I recommend it if you are really interested in the story.

Jim Jones was one of the first of many atheistic Marxists who decided infiltrating the Churches was the best way to spread Marxism, he wasn’t the last.

Do you know it was NOT poisoned Kool-Aid that Jones gave the people?

It was Flavor-Aid

There were never any tasteless jokes about Jim Jones because the punch line was too long.

A little known fact about Jim Jones is that he was an aspiring boxer

He quit the sport after taking out 900 people with one punch

I'm unsure to moan or laugh...sick jokes but funny!! 🤓

The Left tries to hide that Jim Jones had sex with men and women, and that many of his murder victims were black.

And yet how many are conditioned today to do whatever the Left promotes under the premise of being for their own good, as a precursor of the future.

Thanks for sharing. Yet more evidence government, media, and especially three letter agencies, are not to be trusted.
