Jonestown was a CIA/Jesuit project to make independent Protestant churches look scary and cult-like. Many people don't know this, but afterwards it became illegal for American churches to buy land in foriegn churches for the purpose of having retreats.
@indiglo1971 Jim Jones was never Catholic let alone a Jesuit. Jim Jones was an athiest and everyone knew he wasn't a Protestant let alone Christian. Where do you get your information?
@jimmyhd1969 I want to correct you.This is the correct spelling of Atheist. Please feel free to correct me if I did not have to capitalize it. Read the testimony of former Jesuit Alberto Rivera. You find some of it at the Chick Publications website. Thomas Richards of Spirituallysmartdotcom also has information on this. Youtube "From Jonestown to Waco".
@indiglo1971 Alberto Rivera was never a Jesuit or even a priest fot that matter. He was a con man and a liar and his claims have been found not to be based in fact.
@jimmyhd1969 If you are involved with the Babylon cult I implore you to get out of it immediately. The Bible tells us to get out of her. If you are a part of the Jesuit led smear campaign that is against all churches that are not members of the World Council of Churches, I may not be communicating with you again,
This monster and his group were at the Allentown Park in PA to recruit people in the early 1970's. He began to hone in on one of my friends and I intervened. I kept talking over him and told my friend not to listen to him. Thank God he did as I pleaded.
@pmoyer50 Thank God that you spoke up for your friend. I'm sure after the Jonestown tragedy your friend was extrememly thankful to have such a good friend as yourself. And it's a good thing that you were able to see past the hype. You were very discerning.
now its know that jones was a cia agent involved in mindwashing mk ultra actions only this was a crime but they whre smart and commited the homicides outside the usa, and jones was shot in the back of the head, it was betrayal from cia in the end, he was on drugs and had a big mouth
Thanks for posting. I wish there were more documentaries out there regarding Jim Jones. There are a couple of other good ones, but also a bunch of stupid montages of sinister scenes with creepy background music. As if the story weren't horrific enough to stand on its own.
I've never heard, read or seen a Marxist who professed to cure cancer by means of unconventional Pentecostal type of prayers ... it's simply unMarxist ...
You are seeing film that was made specifically to get local support and tax exempt status. Tim Carter talks about this extensively in one of his essays. They weren't going to give a group of American socialists tax exempt status.
I already explaind tht, if they presented themselves as a church they would qualify for tax ecemopt status which meant more money for Jones. If they presented themselves as a socialist organization they would have been ridden out of town on a rail.
@thegirl44 I se ... if someone disguises his scam as a religious driven mumbo jumbo socialist project and pays taxes then everything is clear and okay ... cool ...
@RobGoth100 Jim Jones in 1976 invited Rosalyn Carter, Jimmy Carter's wife to visit his Peoples Temple the year that her huband was running for president. That was also the same year when all the allegations of abuse in the Peoples Temple were coming to light in the media. I don't think Jones would've supported Ronald Reagan or Richard Nixon since they were Republicans and Jones' sympathies lay with the Democrats.
@67nairb Agreed but allegations have been around for years especially in 1972 when a SF newspaper did a 8 part expose that was cancelled after part 4 because of protests by the PT. Politicians chose to ignore it all.
@RobGoth100 On the website Original Dissent an article appeared that Jim Jones gave some thought of killing or kidnapping or member of his family and taking them to his stronghold in Guyana and holding them for ransom.
@67nairb Excuse me I forgot to say that according to what I learned on the website Original Dissent, Jim Jones had given some thought of kidnapping or killing former president Richard Nixon or members of his family to his stronghold in Guyana and hold them for ransom.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
and plus the history chanel is just another media tool of the high levels of intel in the govt, jim jones could off run as a republican now and would probably win
people got no clue what this was about nothing but an experiment by the high levels of intel of the govt, jim jones was just a tool but withouth support financially and help from the media he couldn't have done what he did
Its just amazing what this man was able to do. I personally believe that brainwashing was a major part of this. He made people work for hours and hours which of course made them sleep deprived and easier to control. Thank you for posting this. It is something that every person should know about. Pure evil.
Shister Charles Garry is a lying. Jones never supporter Reagan or Nixon, he only supported left-wing pols. Garry escaped Jonestown on Nov. 18 by congratulating the thugs who then killed people as he ran into the jungle.
The similarities between Jim Jones and Alex Jones are frightening. The first few lines spoken on this video sound like they could have come right out of the mouth of Alex Jones. Alex Jones has a CULT of followers who are weak minded, weak willed and repeat whatever Alex Jones says and do whatever he says, without question. If anyone calls into Alex's show & questions him, he FREAKS OUT like a mad man. He screams and yells and uses every manipulation trick in the book to keep sway over his sheep.

I don't have to read minds. The People's Temple's history is well documented if you take the time to learn about it.
One last thing, grow up. You childish comments don't change the fact that you didn't know what you were talking about and were corrected.
