Nicely put together video but the one thing it leaves out: in the suicide audio Jim Jones states that he will face the consequences while his followers rest in peace. Jim Jones had no intention of dieing but yet he was shot, he didn't drink the poison. Then you learn that the CIA was right in the middle of things, that their point man managed to slither off just before the shootings and things suddenly aren't so clear cut, along with the coroner finding needle marks in many of the dead bodies.

This is not an easy story,
Many of the people who joined the community wanted to do great things.
I truly believe that even Jones wanted to do great things.
Power changes people,
it corrupts,
and it lead Jones to his distruction.
I am not making excuses for his behavior.
It was evil,
and he became a monster!

The People's Temple wanted to do great things and they were led astray.

Wrap it in religious terms... the religious will swallow anything, said Lenin, the bloody Bolshevik leader. As in Jim Jones' mentor, Atheist "Marxist-Leninist".

"How could I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church."
- Jim Jones

Really nice people, aren't they?

So who is running the Christian Church today? The Atheist Anti-Christ. To say Obama attends a church is a laughingstock. He's a Marxist SocialiSSt and that's all I am certain of.
