Tourist attraction?....that’s down right disgusting.
Why not just build a church of satan on the sight and get it over with. SMH
Democrats are always searching for the God socialist utopia.
If Jones was around today the Democrat Party would run him for mayor.
...Don’t follow leaders, watch the parking meters...
The sick part is people will pay to go there.
Funny how none of the armed guards drank the Kool aid .
That COWARD, Jim Jones, didn’t even drink the Kool Aid! Just another chicken-shiite like all Commies.
Who shot Jim Jones? Was it murder or suicide?
These are questions that may never be definitively answered. All that is known for certain is that Jim Jones died of a gunshot wound to the head, and that he was one of only two people to die in Jonestown of a gunshot.
Jones was one of only seven people to be autopsied, but the report shed no new light: He died of a gunshot wound to the head, but the limited forensics – the location of the entry wound, the path of the bullet – were consistent with both murder and suicide.
The autopsy report is inconclusive on the subject. “The manner of death is consistent with suicide because of the finding of a hard contact gunshot wound of the head,” the report concluded. “The possibility of homicide cannot be entirely ruled out because of the lack of specific and reliable information.”
The position of the gun that killed Jones doesn’t provide any answer as to his manner of death. He was found lying on the ground, with the gun several feet away. Someone could have shot him and dropped the gun close by. He could have shot himself, and the recoil could have knocked the gun that distance. (Other anecdotal reports say alternately that the gun was on his chest, within reach of his arm, and 200 feet away.)

Where did this phrase “top of mind” come from? It sounds weird to me.
From what I understand, the area was long since stripped of anything valuable and is largely overgrown.
If people want to revisit areas of tragedy and consider the depths of human folly, more power to them.
One would have to be a pretty big fan of Jim Jones to pay that kind of money. I'd charge less, and then gouge visitors on Kool-Aid at the snack bar.
Auschwitz with hotel pick up is less than $50; Buchenwald admission only is less than $10.00. Oradour-sur-Glane is apparently free. Katyn Forest museum and site are also apparently fee; English audio guide under $5.00. (All numbers rounded up due to currency fluctuations).
Do they offer kool aid drinks with a souvenir cup ?
Best rock video ever. :-)
I was gonna post back "The vandals took the handles" but then I saw you posted the video. Great stuff.
Helluva song to sing, though. I've only known one guy who could do it, besides Dylan himself of course.
Guyana fun theme park will have surprises :)
Lots of dangerous snakes, Boas, Green Anaconda (largest snake in the world!) rattlesnakes, mosquitoes, jaguars, caimans (like croodiles or alligators with strong jaws and explosive ambush attacks), piranhas...
well, enjoy!
Take care, beware of soft shoe shufflers

“Drinking the Flavor-Aid” doesn’t have the same ring.
