Thanks for the summary. BLM DIE is the new Jonestown. Many of the old California cults have morphed into new progressive versions. Manson family is trans grooming, Buddhafield is Faucism, Heavens Gate is ESG climate alarmism: https://yuribezmenov.substack.com/p/how-to-become-a-cult-leader

So damn right Yuri. It's all happening again. McCarthy would turn in his grave.

Former Bay Area Congressman Jackie Speier was shot and left for dead at Jonestown. She recovered and was preparing to stab the only Holocaust survivor in Congress, Tom Lantos, in the back to get her former boss Leo J. Ryan's seat for herself when Lantos announced a terminal illness and his resignation from Congress. He worked with the Swedish businessman Raoul Wallenberg about which a movie was filmed and his wife and her family were among the few Jews to successfully escape Hungary. Frankly, our district would have been better off if Speier had died at Jonestown... she threatened a revolution to remove President Trump and made many disgusting public statements on abortion, which she tried to portray as a wonderful thing for women. Anyone who is happy about a normal, healthy pregnancy ending in abortion for no reason except the outrageous ego of the woman carrying a baby is a sick person.

Thanks for the extra information about Jim Jones' Communist background.. I lived in San Mateo for years, which is where many of his followers were from, and no one mentioned anything at all about Communist affiliation at Jonestown. We knew that Angela Davis had an in there and was an unabashed Communist that led the destruction of churches in San Francisco during Occupy. As she was raving on live TV to rev up the crowd to go out and destroy, I was praying for a red target light to appear on her forehead... she deserved to die for what she was saying and doing to serve her Lord and Master Satan.

SF Bay Area reps are among the worst in California, and that’s saying a lot. Former Speaker Nancy Pelosi got her start with Jim Jones, who got out the vote for her. She got him the Housing Commissioner job. Mayor Moscone, gay martyr Harvey Milk, they were all part of Jim Jones’ racket — until they weren’t. After the massacre at Jonestown, they suddenly never heard of him. Then there’s VP Harris, who slept her way into the Senate, courtesy of Bay Area pol Willie Brown. Slime, pure slime — they give corruption a bad name.

Am also from San Mateo County and very familiar with Jackie Spier. Never liked her. Phony. She retired from Congress and I thought 'finally ' only to see that she is on the ballot for County supervisor. FFS, what is it with the Bay Area politicians who just.won't go away????

None of the narcissistic megalomaniacs will go away. It’s part of the disorder. Their lives are empty without the spotlight.

They also seem to have left out the intel agencies involvement with Jim Jones and the People's Temple.

If you want an interesting look at Jones and his cult see if you can find:

The Black Hole of Guyana

The Untold Story of the Jonestown Massacre

And no mention of the CIA connection. This case had a number of hallmarks of the CIA MK-Ultra program (as did Waco).

Well written, Jordan. Suggest another source for the Jonestown massacre: “Cult City: Jim Jones, Harvey Milk, and 10 Days That Shook San Francisco” by

Daniel Flynn. And for a very interesting look at the matter from a Guyana eye, “Journey to Nowhere: A New World Tragedy” by Shiva Naipaul. Both come closer to the truth than anything the mainstream media sells. Both books note the jungle communism and Jones wrote to the USSR asking for a homeland.

You know if he had been connected to Republicans of the day, that would have been front and center of this incomplete and misleading "documentary."

Jackie Speier tried to make Tom Lantos look like a Republican gangster for the sin of the 2nd Iraq War. There are some things you don't do as part of trying to take down someone in your own party... but that would never stop her.

Why is criticizing a politician for supporting a war of aggression based on lies something “you don’t do”?

Expand full comment

When you are trying to win an election, criticizing your predecessor of the same party is an extreme position which is seldom profitable.

Red China-owned Disney can be counted on for lying propaganda. Jonestown was a CIA mind control slave labor experiment, and the laborers were working a mine. There was no KOOL-AID; when they murdered a congressman and his staff on the tarmac, orders came from London to "sanitize" the operation with mass murder. 10th Specia Forces and UK 42nd Division "Black Watch" Highlanders murdered the whole lot. except Jim Jones, who was likely relocated. Half were forcibly injected with cyanide, the rest who ran into the woods hunded down like wild animals by spec-ops troopers.

Do you have any documents to back up this claim? Disney is dirty, but you're putting them on the other side, complete with a murderous paramilitary.

The tapes of JJ's voice on loudspeaker telling everyone to drink the KoolAid was just fiction? The photos of bloated bodies hugging each other as they'd laid down to die? Not a cult?

We do remember the Senator mowed down at the airport. All horrific.

D politicians don't care where their support comes from as long as it gets them what they're seeking.

He was a Representative, not a Senator. Leo J. Ryan. His District was the mid-Peninsula centered on San Mateo.

Would an injection with cyanide kill you, or would it be harmless like the venom of a poisonous snake is if you drank it?

You’d be dead a lot faster. Why do you think Special Forces and Black Watch used hypodermic needles. They also used assault rifles. Drinking works pretty fast too, but force always trumps compliance. Cyanide is a salt (-CN); can be sodium, potassium, or any other cation. Could even be hydrocyanic acid, which is far more dangerous to handle. That was an experimental CIA slave labor camp, working a mine (I’ve heard, a gold mine), and when they murdered a congressman on the tarmac, Reverend Jones was ordered to clean up, kill any witnesses, and the spec-ops were sent in to assure compliance. I’m sure Jones was retired under an alias, and likely Epstein also.

Jones was also a large contributor to Jerry "moonbeam" Brown, the CA democrats, and a frequent visitor to the CA gov's mansion. Maybe jones and epstein were given a special "burial at sea" with no witnesses like osama bin ladin was.

That's a whole lot of huge claims. What's the evidence?

Witnesses all murdered, how convenient. BTW read FINAL JUDGMENT, by Michael Collins Piper, from https://afpstore.americanfreepress.net/product/final-judgment-special-double-offer/. Not only the CIA and MAFIA were involved in killing John Kennedy, but also MOSSAD. My roommate’s father was in the JFK hit. He had pix of Oswald and Ruby, the USSR Mexico Embassy, top secret stamped US documents, different passports and currencies. The man’s name was Seymour Schultheis. This’ll happen to any American official who doesn’t do what he’s told. The fact, this publisher’s eBay account was cancelled because they were selling this specific book. When you see hit pieces and obvious damage control, that’s useful intelligence.

I strongly recommend visiting the “The list goes on” link. Wow!! The more things change the more they stay the same. The Democrat party really is Marxist, which is to equity what the wolf is to vegetarianism. The central planners control the resources and the schmucks get the leftovers distributed in equitable shares, which is to say impoverished result. Man, the propaganda is thick, and this demonstrates we’ve never had honest mainstream anything, from the establishment media, the establishment historians, establishment education. I thought I knew the Jonestown story, having been reared shortly after it’s occurrence but the Democrat connections were never made.

There is a revolutionary cadre within the DNC. 44's friends who were "retired" Weather Underground terrorists both count.

Psst, typo. Should be Davis, not Jones.

I remember where I was when the TV news reported the hundreds of dead. And I've never been able to see Powers Boothe as anyone other than Jim Jones! Communism stinks and thanks to the democrats and uniparty, we're flirting with it here. Insanity= doing the same thing and expecting a different result.

It was a Sunday and they interrupted NFL football to report on the atrocity. The game they interrupted was on the west coast - I think it was the Oakland Raiders!

If you knew nothing about Jim Jones, but just looked at him, you could tell this dude was off.

Following him to a jungle compound in the middle of a very dangerous part of the world, completely nuts. The whole thing was a bizarre mixture of incoherent Communist indoctrination , paranoia, drug use, and incarceration. Stay away from extremists. It’s bad for your health.

I was young when this happened and even as a teen I knew he was the devil and his intentions were nothing like a CHRISTIAN! Of course Disney and the whole pedo MARXIST regime want to push their propaganda that Christianity is the root of evil no shocker there!

Not surprising HoLLyWeIrD and DiSnEy stray from historical fact in non-fiction movies.

BRAVEHEART

Battle of Stirling Bridge

In Braveheart the Battle of Stirling Bridge, one of Wallace’s forces most momentous victories, is missing two key elements: rebellion leader Andrew de Moray and, perhaps more crucially, the bridge.

...btw

There was no highland charge. The Scots advanced slowly, after 1/3 of the English had crossed the narrow wooden bridge, packed in 'Schiltrons,' closely packed pike men 6 ranks deep. The Scots drove most into the bend in the river and drown them.

A few years ago I decided to listen to the "death tape" of Jonestown. I am GenX and of course had heard about it. But I was too young to understand a whole lot.

I'm not sure what I was expecting. I guess I thought there would be a lot of screaming and commotion. It was much more quiet than I expected. The voice of that demonic Jones was also not what I expected. He wasn't loud and ranting and raving. But you could hear the evil.

The children crying was what really got to me. For a long time, when I went to church and heard babies/small kids whimpering/crying, it would freak me out.

Angela's demonic evil was very clear in that video clip of her firing up the crowd to go out and destroy churches. Frankly, if someone like her is shot in that kind of situation, it should be ruled justifiable homicide, as inciting a revolution is not protected speech.

Here in Texas, it would have been ruled that way... but not in San Francisco.

The location of Jonestown was a former piece of land owned by an agency in our government (I want to say CIA). The location was strategic as it was near highly sought minerals and gold. Just recently, Venezuelan forces invaded the area and made claims to the land. John Judge speaks to this as it was one of his last essays.
