McCarthy ? Are you sure ? Jonestown was in the late ‘70s and Jones didn’t become prominent until the prior decade. Sen. McCarthy died in 1957.

Jones was involved in Communist activities as a young man before he established People’s Temple and Jonestown. It was in the 1950s. He was very paranoid about being watched since he was a Communist. As a result he moved to Guyana.
