Hey Comrade, Maybe me and u should go on a little field trip to all the places I've been and maybe u will apperciate america more. then u would b calling me Comrade because I'd have to save your life because u would b freaking out from all the gunfire. you probably are an atheist so, u would start believing in god a little bit.
Hey Commy, I was in the armed forces and saw shit u probably would never see so, I think I would last in Somalia and Indonesia. Anyone who sings the old Soviet national anthem is real sick. were they doing their laundry in those vats? I think u can agree w/me on this. it was one of the saddest days in us history outside of oc,09-11 and the 1993 bombing of the wtc.
@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY YOUR CRAZY DAWG TELL ME ONE PLACE COMMUNISM WORKED IT FAILING IN N.KOREA, VIETNAM IS MORE OF A DICTATORSHIP W/CAPTIALIST BASED ECONOMY, CUBA IS STARTING REFORMS HOWEVER, THIS MIGHT B THE CLOSEST TO WERE COMMUNISM WORKED.
@COMMUNISTPHILOSOPHY u are the sick one. if you were at jt, u b wanting to comeback so bad but, too bad for u. I'm sure u would have fun at a n.korean styled commune. is jim jones your idol?
CIA killed Jim Jones and his community because they discovered that Communism was right and not capitalism with all its crime rates, drugs, pollution and decay.
@69Techno69pt capitalism is defiently not perfect but, go live under commumism for a week. u will b crawling back here. we are not the most perfect country in the world and yes, we have done a lot of fucked up things but, jj was a complete psycho who used god to get his beliefs across. The us did not kill him he did it to himself and MURDERED most of the people at jt tell me what psycho sob would kill 276 kids? u are entitled to your beliefs but, I think they are whacked.
@Tbraves111 Communism is not perfect but its the best, try living a week in an indonesian plant farm or in Somalia an you will be crawling back to Cuba. CIA killed Jim Jones and his community. It is a fact, the mass suicide is a myth. Many people were discovered that have been shot in the back.
@69Techno69pt tell me what the fuck were those vats for then laundry? Joe Wilson and his goons killed a lot of those people not the cia JJ was drugged control freak who was miserable and wanted to bring everyone in his following down w/him
@Tbraves111 Thats a CIA excuse. They shot everyone and poisoned the rest and then said it was Jim Jones doing the shooting. Its like saying the jews threw themselves into the gas chambers in auschwitz. fuck the usa fuck the cia
@69Techno69pt watch the holocaust part. I had family gassed their and it's a real soft spot but, that was real at any rate and they have proof of that. show me the proof about JJ not being behind it. My Government defiently has done a lot of shitty things but, until I see real proof my opinion will never change. by the way, were's the USSR today??
@Tbraves111 Dude if you are a jew I can't argue with you. Because jews are either fanatical capitalists or communists. Since you aren't a comrade of mine, I won't argue with you. No point in arguing with a capitalist jew.
The beliefs of individual members of the People's Temple varied widely. Some were Pentecostals, some were atheists, some were agnostic, and some felt that the issue of religion was irrelevant. What they shared was a common goal of making the world a better place. They were, however, duped by Jones. Tragic, but the memory of such decent people should be honored, just as the memory of Jim Jones should be scorned.
Also, Jim Jones started out supposedly "Christian," but he became a Socialist, dropped the Bible, stepped on it, and told his followers that HE was their god. Everything became about him, Jones. His followers had to call him "Father." His biological son Stephan says his father thought he was god. His mother wanted to get Jim Jones off drugs and the son said "Mom, you don't tell god he has a drug problem."
Jones used the title of a "church" to avoid paying taxes.
lucisandor, yes, Jones wanted to move to the Soviet Union (Russia) but they would not allow it.
Also, the person who says "Christian Communists" does not understand communism. Communism is atheistic. There is no such thing as a Christian Communist.
Also, to the person who thinks this video and/or audio is fake, it's not. Read books, look up all the documentaries you can find, watch them. This video is NOT fake. Those are actual pics of Jones and his people.
@waybabelicious - Many Communists are atheists. But one does not have to be an atheist to be a Communist. Marx himself believed that people turned to religion because of all of the problems in the world like poverty and hunger.
@MrRedFredSaid Yes but communist analysis is based on what is called historical materialism, which is quite contradictory to religion. Lenin said that every Marxian socialist, "as a rule," was/is an atheist. ("Socialism and Religion," Collected Works Vol. 10, 1978, p. 84.)
Technically Jones was an "atheist" (he constantly attacked what he called a "sky-god") but he clearly held metaphysical beliefs, and about all of his followers believed he had some sort of extraordinary powers.
What "looks" fake about this? These are videos and pictures of the People's Temple. Do you mean that you think that the audio is fake, therefore it would "sound" fake, and if this is what you mean why do you feel that it is?
The People's Temple's tenets were socialist more than they were religious. Did you not know this, marxotube? Jonestown had the unfortunate outcome of every communist experiment, they all eventually become fascist totalitarian states in the end.
True communism is a wonderful philosophy, but that's all that it is, a philosophy. It has no practical applications because the human condition will always favour possessions and power over the greater good.
Jim Jones didn't give a fuck about consolidating with the USSR in the end, although he certainly had that premise. Listen to the "Death Tape" and he makes it perfectly clear that he had no interest in allowing his followers to seek asylum there.
Only one of the 909 dissented. Christine Miller, while being shouted down by other members. Even Miller backed down after they announced that Congressman Ryan had been murdered because the Soviets would not have taken any PT members at that point.
No one knows for certain how many were coerced and how many were stabbed with syringes or shot with a gun in the end, but the children and babies had no choice. A vile tyrant and his brainwashed followers are the same by any other name. You did clarify to some that his rhetoric near the end was definitely "They were communists looking for an exodus to the USSR". So what?
Yes, Christian Communists who all saw Jim Jones as Christ. I dont see Christian Communism as Marxist Communism. Jones was a Stalinist pope for those people, and like Stalin he abused his power and his religion for personal gains.
Christian Communists is an oxymoron, UDSS. Jones used the idea of a "church" to get people in the door, but People's Temple was not a Christian organization beyong it's claim of tax exempt status. Jim Jones often preached that there was no heaven and No God beyond the heaven that they could make on earth and himself.
There's no way of knowing for sure what the numbers were. A lot of people were stabbed with syringes full of poison by the armed henchmen. The children had no choice.
After the last 16 years i'm believing more and more that the only way to live is through anarchy. Peoples own self governance. Though jim jones is a piss poor, and psychotic example of it.
ya but when you have anarchy people tend to elect a political strong man to restore order, witch has lead to some of the worlds worst atrocities and dictators.
Even if a transcript exists, how did the CIA attain it? Why would i believe the CIA and FBI from a time when they openly attacked and made-up information about every left wing group in the nation? 1) Find a working link 2) Use something other then old cold war slanders.
I did, and all i found was one very biased site. And yes, its talks about FBI and CIA files. Amazing I couldn't find any audio of this, but that's to be expected, or do you think during the height of the cold war this ambassador let himself be transcribed by an american? Jones was insane, and your using that insanity to smear another benevolent society that had NOTHING to do with Socialism.
It's the SDSU "Jonestown Institute" site -- the central academic site for documents and audio on Jonestown. They are used by, and interviewed (see Dr. Moore) for every single Jonestown documentary.
They also have the final Temple fund transfer Jim Jone's wife's will, the Temple members wills, etc. They all give their money to the Communist Party of the USSR.
A site based from cold war evidence if it exists at all, i have yet to find anything. Your using the religious insanity of one man, take info from one supposed site, and condemning the soviet union all in the same breath. All I can say is your a liar and a counter-revolutionary capitalist that found a loophole to spread your capitalist ideology.
NO, you sound like a desperate person trying to smear socialism by linking it to one insane psychotic. He didn't know Marx from a hole in the ground. And YES, your "so called" sources are biased and/or unreliable; like wikipidea.
Then I guess we read different books, because you obviously have an agenda. You desire is not to smear the insanity of Jones, but condemn the soviet people for what one cult worshiper did. And considering all your sources are capitalist sources, they have an agenda as well. Many false claims and even audio has been used to smear the USSR. The USSR did NOT support Jones.
and I am sure if anyone from Georgetown visited the camp in the early days, they had no idea what they were getting into, and never came back; that is for sure. Although you hold up a lot of proof no one but you can see.
Your spinning is a riot. The USSR had sent TASS in TWICE even before the October 2 Speech. They wrote growing articles in PRAVDA about the Temple published in Russia.
Not only did the USSR continue to negotiate after the October 2 speech in Jonestown, but they stepped up.
In fact, the only three high up survivors from the Temple survived because the Temple sent them to transfer $7.3 million in funds to the Communist Party on the day of the suicides. They, including Tim Carter, were caught.
Hitler, Pol pot, Kim il sung, kim jong il, Joseph Stalin, Fidel Castro, Mao tse Dung, Idi Amin, Nicolae Ceausescu, Saddam Hussein.
Thats just off the top of my head their are countless others, of course i would argue that anyone who desires a communist/socialist state has sociopathic leanings as they cleary believe they are in someway superior to their fellow humans and thus should by all rights have complete control of their lives.
Non of those people were psychotic like Jim Jones. Jim fit all the aspects of a paranoid schizophrenic. The others were just power gone wildly wrong. Fidel Castro shouldn't be on there at all, he has done great good and brought pride to Cuba. Your the ignorant one trying hard, yet again, to smear socialism because of a mad man. Look at bush, his insanity has killed ten's of thousands.
I've read your ignorant comments on this video, amsterdam78. You are a defensive and dogmatic nutter who chooses to overlook the same factual information that has been disregarded and unreported by the mainstream US media. You share the same fears as the CAPITALISTS that you protest.
The only way to get people to be socialist is with a gun, with force, because so long as one, single person disagrees, they pose a problem to the entire system. That is the secret of why communism ALWAYS has and always will end in dictatorship and voilence, and why it draws dumb, paranoid shits like amsterdam.
"The only way to get people to be socialist is with a gun, with force, because so long as one, single person disagrees, they pose a problem to the entire system. "
Yes, that is the current picture of communism. Terror, evil, and oppression. Like Christianity and the Islam, all evil because they behaved evil. Yes and capitalism is good, capitalism saves the world, capitalism makes Africa rich, and yes capitalism is freedom. Only because some social fascists like Jim Jones and his Stalinists friends abuse communism and Christianity, doesnt make it evil. Believe what you want but communism is not evil.
Ask the dissenters (in Miami) what they think of Castro? How about ask them whether or not he has done great good for Cuba? Socialism does not foster, by and way, shape, or form, progress for any nation. Capitalism does and has....
The small and pathetic band of Cubans in Miami is Old, the youth are in groups like the Party for socialism and liberation or the Bolivarian Youth. This very past weekend there was a book fair in Miami with no less then three socialist stalls. The Cubans in Miami are either waking up to the lie, or old and bitter exiles.
What amazes me is that in 1978, religion was banned in the USSR, yet you say he was both an atheist and praised for using religion. Your contradicting yourself.
You have absolutely no idea what you're talking about.
They were atheists. Completely open about it by 1976. They used religious methods to convert people to socialists and atheism. The Soviet Union actually praised them for this.
They negotiated with the USSR embassy weekly regarding an exodus. TASS wrote glowing articles about them.
Also, the USSR acting ambassador actually traveled 150 miles all the way to Jonestown on October 2, 1978. He praised it.
1st it was a doctor, then an ambassador. Yes Jones asked the USSR for things, as he asked many fringe groups and nations, but the USSR ignored him, and sent no doctors. The very idea of using religion to convert to atheism is a contradiction in terms. The USSR banned all religious sects and groups. Your just using facts from one site, obviously anti-socialist. You people try and blame everything on socialism, and when it doesn't fit you just make-up facts as you go along.
It's hilarious watching you lie because you're getting so flustered by this.
The entire tape is online of the Soviet rep Timofeyev lavishly praising Jonestown, calling it the first American socialist community. It is FBI tape Q 352.
And they sent both Timofeyev and a doctor.
Also, earlier, TASS came and wrote a hugely glowing article on Jonestown.
Jim Jones had NOTHING to do with the USSR. They never overtly or covertly supported any religious based cult or group. He was insane, and in no way represented the idea of the socialist ideal. Another poser giving a glorious true revolution a bad name. Just singing the song makes him insane, nothing more. He knew nothing nor cared for anything truly Marxist or socialist, he used it as part of his sick paranoid delusions.
The Peoples Temple was an atheist group. They fully admitted this by 1976 to everybody.
And you couldn't be more wrong. The USSR sent Feodor Timofeyev from its embassy to Jonestown, where he praised Jonesotwn as the first American socialist settlement. The Soviets praised Jones for using religious methods to convert followers to socialism.
I guess all the talking about Jesus November 18th 1978 must have been a complicated joke before they died then. Were is the evidence that the USSR supported Jones, or is this all from some nut job website. Considering your saying that Jones is an atheist, i would assume your getting your information from the same source. A source bent on soiling the name of socialism. Amazing how close the You say the USSR was, yet the US allowed to to keep cashing those SS checks.
They viewed Christ as a socialist figure, not a magical religious one. In fact, they harassed everyone who believed in the "Sky God." Jones stepped on the Bible, claiming it to oppressive.
They said they were atheists probably no less than 300 times. Including to the New York Times. I don't know what wacky website from where you get info.
They also actually negotiated weekly with the USSR re an exodus. The USSR sent an acting ambassador on October 2, 1978. He praised lavishly Jonestown.
Jones slamed the bible down as a metephor. If he was Atheist like you want us to belive, why did he preach gods love. Why did the USSR support a religious sect, when they themselves had laws banning such groups. 1st it was a doctor now an ambassador. Sounds more like your getting you info from a single site, and making some up as you go along. I guess Jones believing in gods love makes all atheists hypocrites right?
He didn't by 1976. In fact, they openly laughed (there are many tapes of this) at people who believed in "the Sky God."
The Temple claimed the Bible had truths, but as a philosphical matter, not a religious one.
It was a doctor and an acting ambassador on October 2, 1978. It's hilarious watch you spin your wheels. In fact, the speech the Soviet rep gave is not only on tape, but the whole thing is transcribed online.
Your just using one site, and your side remarks only show you for who you are. You are not hear to dame Jones, you just fond some audio and an anti-soviet site to back you up. Your an anti-socialist that is doing nothing but smearing it's good name for your own personal prejudices.
It's not from an "anti-Soviet" site. Watching you spin is hilarious.
It's been reported in every major paper and about 10 books.
For example, the October 2 speech at Jonestown by Timofeyev from the Soviet embassy lavishly praising Jonestown is actually online at the Jonestown Institute at San Diego State University, which collects all Jonestown documents and tapes. They've been the main source of information for just about eveyr documentary and special on Jonestown.
WoW, you rally have changed my mind, and all those books i read, i guess i should throw them out; i mean you say its "in books" and on tape q 352, with evidence like that who could depute you. That it's all conjecture and anti-socialist propaganda doesn't matter, all that matters is your slanderous remarks against the soviet union.
It's hilarious that you think every newspaper, book, document and tape of what occurred there is "anti-socialist" propaganda.
Besides reading every newspaper on the subject, which state the same, you can also actually listen to the audio of the October 2 visit.
Or view online the letters sending $7.3 million of Temple funds to the Communist Party of the USSR on the day of the suicides. Ditto for Jones will. And his wife's. And the Temple members'.
Now i know your just a poser, dead links, vague references to "books", wikipedia, and now your telling me that on the afternoon he killed himself he donated money, even though he never had that much capital to give, and he was is a self educed stopper the day of the suicides. Almost immediately after the congressman left, the suicides began, or are you saying he was making a quick phone call while also overseeing the suicides and murders? Liar.
There's no dead link. Unbelievable to lie when you're cornered.
For just one example, google "Timofeyev" and "352".
This has also been written about in every major newspaper. With countless books.
As well as the letters sending all of the Temple's money to the USSR. In every newspaper. You can see the images right now on even basic public summary sites like the Wikipedia Jonestown article.
Wow, thisshows that the US media has been corrupt communist apolists for decades. I remember when all this happened and I never heard anyting by "religious fanatics" used to describe Jones and his followers.
Don't trust the American media, they are leading us down a road to non-existence.
"As for slavery, there is no need for me to speak of its bad aspects. The only thing requiring explanation is the good side of slavery (sic!). I do not mean indirect slavery, the slavery of proletariat; I mean direct slavery, the slavery of the Blacks in Surinam, in Brazil, in the southern regions of North America.
Good God. Truly, the best part about the Soviet Union was their anthem, (personally, I think it's the most beautiful national anthem of them all.) Despite that, they really butchered it.
It's "explained" on the death tape. Once they shot Congressman Ryan, NBC's Don Harris and the others, they were screwed. Jones sent his Red Brigade to murder them at the nearby airstrip, essentially setting up a no escape situation for the Jonestown citizens.
Why do people think that communism is some how a religion? I suffered under a religious dictatorship for ten and a half years. communism liberated me from religion and I have lived a communistic non-religious life ever since. I know what communism is but most people who call communist a religion don't know what communism is. They don't understand materialistic side of the Marxist philosophy. Most of them have never studied Marxism or Leninism.,
They didn't think communism was religion. Instead they used communism to ween people off of religion, which they referred to as the "opiate of the people."
They only see that what Stalin and Capitalists told them what Communism is. Stalin turnd Communism into a fascist like religion of hate and fear for the NKVD.
Communism and reglion are not the same. Your are right about that. But because of Stalinist and Right wing media, people these day's see communism as evil and oppressive.
You must be a dammed fool if you think that is right. But is you believe that fine by me, I respect it even if you believe that capitalism is good. Freedom of speech is a basic right, but you are a fool if you think that Karl Marx invented racism and terrorism.
Show me where he promoted racism, and terrorism. Show that !! Karl Marx wanted a revolution yes, but unlike Lenin he did not say anything about murdering and killing all opposition to communism. But if you can find something out of his work were he says that the white race is superior to other races, show me.
"It is now perfectly clear to me that, as the shape of his head and the growth of his hair indicate, he is descended from the negroes who joined in the flight of Moses from Egypt (unless his mother or grandmother on the father's side was crossed with a nigger). Now this union of Jewishness to Germanness on a negro basis was bound to produce an extraordinary hybrid. The importunity of the fellow is also niggerlike."
Direct slavery is as much the pivot upon which our present-day industrialism turns as are machinery, credit, etc. Slavery is therefore an economic category of paramount importance."
Letter to Pavel Vasilyevich Annenkov, December 28, 1846
" only by the most determined use of terror against these Slav peoples can we [Germans], jointly with the Poles and Magyars, safeguard the revolution there will be a struggle, an inexorable life-and-death struggle, against those Slavs who betray the revolution; an annihilating fight and ruthless terror - not in the interests of Germany, but in the interests of the revolution!"
"Democratic Pan-Slavism, Cont.," Neue Rheinische Zeitung, February 16, 1849
I guess all those peolples didn't really understood the bible and maybe many of them didn't read it by their own!! thats why they had their brain wash so easily!!!
As you've clearly never looked at any of these documents in your life, there's no such place as "the FOIA." FOIA is the Freedom Of Inforation Act. It is typically in reference to a type of request made to a gov't agency for public documents.
And there are absolutely zero FOIA MK-Ultra documents re Jonestown.
If you're going to make up a lie, try not to stumble all over yourself in the first sentence.
Its only you saying something, the rest will likely to make up their own mind. Thinking otherwise would be just stupid.
Oh, yeah,.. who's saying its a "place", you freaking idiot, as you've might have could figured out by yourself. English is my second language,.. excuse me for the fucking typo's!
You shortsighted judgmental asshole,.. and i'm no theorist,.. i get my material at the right "places",.. dickwad.
As you've provided absolutely zero documents for anyone else to use to "make up their own mind", your point there is about as utterly useless as your made up FOIA point.
The Peoples Temple was never meant to go to Russia. If it were the case, they would have went there in the first place. And not to Guyana where they were isolated from both capitalist and communistic societies. He prefered an isolated environment to continue his practices.
Christians are communists, at least if they really do what they say they believe,.. to share and hold all things in common.
In the end, Peoples Temple wasnt christian, and they werent communists,.. they were prisoners.
This sounds weird, but to give credit where due, they were actually better communists than the USSR itself. There was literally no money in Jonestown and all property was owned by the Temple. Jim also didn't use the collective bank accounts to buy mansions, cars or yachts. He lived in a tiny shack. His big luxury? A mosquito net.
Their "no leaving" rule was just like that of the USSR, North Korea, Cuba, etc.
On his death, Jim really sent $7.3 million to the Communist party of the USSR.
Also, they were HEAVILY negotiating a move to the Soviet Union. They offered a $5 million bribe. They talked a lot about places within the USSR to live. The problem was that the Soviets generally barred most immigrants, so it would take a long time to approve. But they were actually interested after the USSR visited Jonestown (and the bribe).
They also frequently talked to the govts of North Korea, Cuba and Yugoslavia.
And, you're right, they definitely weren't Christians. They were hard core atheists. They called themselves Christians for years to draw in converts.
Jones said "religion is an opiate of the people" and used it politically convert people to socialism, in his own words. Again, hate to give credit to such a man, but objectively, it sort of worked for him. They also frequently made fun of Christians.
Jones had many explainations,... they didnt know what they were. He played the christ card in the beginning, later on the god card,.. he was to them god, not the bible god, something different, for clearly had powers and a divine knowledge that seperated him from them.
I don't blame you for thinking that. Many documentarians who don't actually listen to the tapes and documents muddle the message up by just playing a bunch of conflicting quotes without explanation.
Problematically, it's false. Jones candidly admits he used the Christian concept of God, faith healings and the rest to lure religious people into the Temple on Sundays, then convert them to both atheism and, politically, to socialism.
And I'm in no way defending Christianity, by the way.
Its not weird, they were better communists with an even worse dictator.
Propert was owned and paid for by the CIA directly transferred trough a mexican bank. You can get this info at the FOIA. Still most documents are classified, even though they've expired the 25 years that are set for declassifying files for public review
The money never arrived,.. a few temple members declared they've fled into the woods with briefcases of money. They have stated it was for the russians, nothing more.
This is utterly false. The CIA paid for no property, and it is the sort of crap that came out of the old Soviet "Jonestown Carnage," or even more silly, Mark Lane.
The Temple Members fleeing with the money (Tim Carter, Mike Carter & Prokes) had instructional letters giving the $7.3m directly to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The pdf letters are now online at the Jonestown Institute's web site. Tim Carter has spoke at length about it.
Sure,.. you think they would have told em to bring it to the Central Intelligence Agency,.. hell no,.. they would have intercepted it anyhow, as they have done.
You can claim it false, it doesnt discourage the research wich have been done by close associates of congressman Leo Ryan self.
No documents produced in response to FOIA requests state anything like that the CIA funded Jonestown. This is a lie, and a poorly constructed one at that.
Also, the CIA couldn't have "intercepted" the $7.3m in letters to the Swiss Banks. The letters were not open (or like bearer bonds), but rather specified transfer to one recipient: USSR embassy employee Feodor Timofeyev, and he was to give it to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
To me, the term "Christian Communist" makes about as much sense as term "Jewish Nazi".

The beliefs of individual members of the People's Temple varied widely. Some were Pentecostals, some were atheists, some were agnostic, and some felt that the issue of religion was irrelevant. What they shared was a common goal of making the world a better place. They were, however, duped by Jones. Tragic, but the memory of such decent people should be honored, just as the memory of Jim Jones should be scorned.

Also, Jim Jones started out supposedly "Christian," but he became a Socialist, dropped the Bible, stepped on it, and told his followers that HE was their god. Everything became about him, Jones. His followers had to call him "Father." His biological son Stephan says his father thought he was god. His mother wanted to get Jim Jones off drugs and the son said "Mom, you don't tell god he has a drug problem."
Jones used the title of a "church" to avoid paying taxes.

lucisandor, yes, Jones wanted to move to the Soviet Union (Russia) but they would not allow it.
Also, the person who says "Christian Communists" does not understand communism. Communism is atheistic. There is no such thing as a Christian Communist.
Also, to the person who thinks this video and/or audio is fake, it's not. Read books, look up all the documentaries you can find, watch them. This video is NOT fake. Those are actual pics of Jones and his people.

@waybabelicious - Many Communists are atheists. But one does not have to be an atheist to be a Communist. Marx himself believed that people turned to religion because of all of the problems in the world like poverty and hunger.
MrRedFredSaid 1 year ago
@MrRedFredSaid Yes but communist analysis is based on what is called historical materialism, which is quite contradictory to religion. Lenin said that every Marxian socialist, "as a rule," was/is an atheist. ("Socialism and Religion," Collected Works Vol. 10, 1978, p. 84.)
Technically Jones was an "atheist" (he constantly attacked what he called a "sky-god") but he clearly held metaphysical beliefs, and about all of his followers believed he had some sort of extraordinary powers.

The People's Temple's tenets were socialist more than they were religious. Did you not know this, marxotube? Jonestown had the unfortunate outcome of every communist experiment, they all eventually become fascist totalitarian states in the end.
True communism is a wonderful philosophy, but that's all that it is, a philosophy. It has no practical applications because the human condition will always favour possessions and power over the greater good.

They were atheists. Completely open about it by 1976. They used religious methods to convert people to socialists and atheism. The Soviet Union actually praised them for this.
They negotiated with the USSR embassy weekly regarding an exodus. TASS wrote glowing articles about them.
Also, the USSR acting ambassador actually traveled 150 miles all the way to Jonestown on October 2, 1978. He praised it.
ChuckNoblett 3 years ago
1st it was a doctor, then an ambassador. Yes Jones asked the USSR for things, as he asked many fringe groups and nations, but the USSR ignored him, and sent no doctors. The very idea of using religion to convert to atheism is a contradiction in terms. The USSR banned all religious sects and groups. Your just using facts from one site, obviously anti-socialist. You people try and blame everything on socialism, and when it doesn't fit you just make-up facts as you go along.

He knew nothing nor cared for anything truly Marxist or socialist, he used it as part of his sick paranoid delusions.

The Peoples Temple was an atheist group. They fully admitted this by 1976 to everybody.
And you couldn't be more wrong. The USSR sent Feodor Timofeyev from its embassy to Jonestown, where he praised Jonesotwn as the first American socialist settlement. The Soviets praised Jones for using religious methods to convert followers to socialism.

I guess all the talking about Jesus November 18th 1978 must have been a complicated joke before they died then.

They viewed Christ as a socialist figure, not a magical religious one. In fact, they harassed everyone who believed in the "Sky God." Jones stepped on the Bible, claiming it to oppressive.
They said they were atheists probably no less than 300 times. Including to the New York Times. I don't know what wacky website from where you get info.
They also actually negotiated weekly with the USSR re an exodus. The USSR sent an acting ambassador on October 2, 1978. He praised lavishly Jonestown.

Jones slamed the bible down as a metephor. If he was Atheist like you want us to belive, why did he preach gods love.

Sounds more like your getting you info from a single site, and making some up as you go along. I guess Jones believing in gods love makes all atheists hypocrites right?
amsterdam78 3 years ago
He didn't by 1976. In fact, they openly laughed (there are many tapes of this) at people who believed in "the Sky God."
The Temple claimed the Bible had truths, but as a philosphical matter, not a religious one.

This sounds weird, but to give credit where due, they were actually better communists than the USSR itself. There was literally no money in Jonestown and all property was owned by the Temple. Jim also didn't use the collective bank accounts to buy mansions, cars or yachts. He lived in a tiny shack. His big luxury? A mosquito net.
Their "no leaving" rule was just like that of the USSR, North Korea, Cuba, etc.
On his death, Jim really sent $7.3 million to the Communist party of the USSR.

Also, they were HEAVILY negotiating a move to the Soviet Union. They offered a $5 million bribe. They talked a lot about places within the USSR to live.

They also frequently talked to the govts of North Korea, Cuba and Yugoslavia.

Jones said "religion is an opiate of the people" and used it politically convert people to socialism, in his own words. Again, hate to give credit to such a man, but objectively, it sort of worked for him. They also frequently made fun of Christians.

Jones had many explainations,... they didnt know what they were. He played the christ card in the beginning, later on the god card,.. he was to them god, not the bible god, something different, for clearly had powers and a divine knowledge that seperated him from them.
They were brainwashed in a very intrusive way.

I don't blame you for thinking that. Many documentarians who don't actually listen to the tapes and documents muddle the message up by just playing a bunch of conflicting quotes without explanation.
Problematically, it's false. Jones candidly admits he used the Christian concept of God, faith healings and the rest to lure religious people into the Temple on Sundays, then convert them to both atheism and, politically, to socialism.
And I'm in no way defending Christianity, by the way.

Its not weird, they were better communists with an even worse dictator.
Propert was owned and paid for by the CIA directly transferred trough a mexican bank. You can get this info at the FOIA. Still most documents are classified, even though they've expired the 25 years that are set for declassifying files for public review
The money never arrived,.. a few temple members declared they've fled into the woods with briefcases of money. They have stated it was for the russians, nothing more.

This is utterly false. The CIA paid for no property, and it is the sort of crap that came out of the old Soviet "Jonestown Carnage," or even more silly, Mark Lane.
The Temple Members fleeing with the money (Tim Carter, Mike Carter & Prokes) had instructional letters giving the $7.3m directly to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union. The pdf letters are now online at the Jonestown Institute's web site. Tim Carter has spoke at length about it.

Sure,.. you think they would have told em to bring it to the Central Intelligence Agency,.. hell no,.. they would have intercepted it anyhow, as they have done.
You can claim it false, it doesnt discourage the research wich have been done by close associates of congressman Leo Ryan self.

No documents produced in response to FOIA requests state anything like that the CIA funded Jonestown. This is a lie, and a poorly constructed one at that.
Also, the CIA couldn't have "intercepted" the $7.3m in letters to the Swiss Banks. The letters were not open (or like bearer bonds), but rather specified transfer to one recipient: USSR embassy employee Feodor Timofeyev, and he was to give it to the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
