Jonestown Massacre

I never really read about this until just now. It is unbelievable how many powerful people this psycho communist was friends with in the San Francisco Bay Area. I think you guys should read a little about this. This group were not Christians (or religious zealots)... but Communists.

Here's a few interesting bullet points...

Increasing public support in California gave Jones access to several high-ranking political figures, including vice presidential candidate Walter Mondale and First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Guests at a large 1976 testimonial dinner for Jones included Governor Jerry Brown, Lieutenant Governor Mervyn Dymally, and California Assemblyman Willie Brown, among others


In 1974, Guyanese officials granted the Temple permission to import certain items "duty free".[34] Later payoffs helped safeguard shipments of firearms and drugs through Guyanese customs.[37]

Jones reached an agreement to guarantee that Guyana would permit Temple members' mass migration. To do so, he stated that they were "skilled and progressive", showed off an envelope he claimed contained $500,000, and stated that he would invest most of the group's assets in Guyana

Harvey Milk – a member of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors who was supported by the Temple – wrote a letter to President Jimmy Carter defending Jones "as a man of the highest character," and stating that Temple defectors were trying to "damage Rev. Jones' reputation" with "apparent bold-faced lies"
