That death tape is an all time classic. Listen to it at 3am and you won’t go to sleep for days

With that said, fukk Jim Jones. The People’s Temple was a complete disaster and that CAC took a lot of people down with him in the end. Not sure what on earth was possess these folks to take him seriously even in spite of all of that “word of God” bullshyt. Dude literally finessed them out of their lives.

It's damn scary and disturbing. I remember watching a documentary on Jonestown as a kid and being uncomfortable for weeks. It stayed on my mind, and to hear those kids crying from pain as their parents forced cyanide down their throats -- some willingly, others at gun point -- is incomprehensibly disturbing. Cults are genuinely terrifying. You make a group of people believe something strongly -- regardless of how illogical -- and they'll literally follow you into the depths of hell. Often, those who take most advantage of this defect in human nature are those who shouldn't be given a platform at all. A guy like Jim Jones should have had a bullet put through his head long before he set foot in a pulpit, but true evil is fairly adept at deception.


What made Jones even more sinsiter is that the piece of shyt explicitly sought to exploit disenfranchised blacks, preying upon the elderly in particular. He adorned his manaical and sinister drivel up in the sheets of civil rights and religion. Blacks often turned to spirituality to cope with their daily struggles of being considered second class citizens. He had an easy two-for-one. Reading about his background prior to Jonestown, he was clearly a mad man. The entire ordeal was pure insanity.

The audio of the actual day though :picard::merchant:


Listening to that audio and listening to Christine pleading with Jim to fight for another option besides mass suicide while other black ppl are arguing against her and shooting her ideas down is maddening. One dude is literally like "Christine, you're only standing here alive today, is because of Jim!" Brainwashed c00n. :mindblown:

And then Jim is playing to the crowds emotions by stating "Look, all the white ppl left! Look at how they betrayed us. Y'all are so loyal :troll: I know y'all wouldn't leave me and do the same :troll:"

:snoop:

Black ppl were so easily brainwashed as to not flee. While other blacks were forcefully holding them there....

:francis:

Sick stuff...
