“Don’t Drink The Kool-Aid”… How did it all start?
On November 18, 1978, there was a murder/suicide pact in "Jonestown" Guyana resulting in the horrific deaths of 918 ex-pat American citizens who delusionally followed the "People's Temple" founder James Jones into the jungle of Guyana to build his version of Utopia.
Started by Jones in Indianapolis in 1955, the group was originally named “The People's of the Disciples Of Christ” and came to be known simply as the “Peoples Temple”. The grounding philosophy of the People's Temple was supposedly Christian-based with strong infusions of communist and socialist ideology. The key to sucking its minions of minority members was its feigned emphasis on "racial equality". Jones’s blind followers never knew that Christianity and Communism were antithetical and never meant to be housed under the same roof.
In the 1960s Jones moved the Peoples Temple to California, with its headquarters in San Francisco. In addition to those he conned to give up their lives and go west with him, he scoured the Golden State and found thousands of followers as new members willing to buy into his version of psychotic Utopia.
At the end of the 60s and into the early 1970s, Jones shrewdly cultivated a wide range of political figures which guaranteed his Peoples Temple significant legitimacy and influence. Jones was instrumental in getting George Moscone, Mayor of San Francisco, elected in 1975. He also cultivated the support of then-Vice President Walter Mondale. The Left is always able to find useful idiots like Moscone and Mondale to further their very unrighteous cause.
Eventually, Jones’s floating Utopia began to leak. The working Press (when there was such a thing) through tips from disaffected members, found Jones to be a charlatan, sexual predator, and criminally false prophet. Jones, claiming religious persecution, fled to the Guyana Jungle and took his exploited flock with him.
It was in the Guyana Jungle, that Jones built his Christian/Marxist dystopian hell. Initially, Jones had the support of the Guyanese government. After all, who could ever turn away a religiously persecuted communist? Then defectors started to tell the tales of Jones's brand of nirvana. His specialties included: murder, sexual slavery, actual slavery, blind obedience, theft, drug use on command, extreme corporal punishment, and every form of privation imaginable.
Word got back to the United States regarding The Peoples Temple Hell South of the Border and Jones became aware that U.S. authorities were on to him. His reaction to that news was swift and brutal. Jones made clear to his entire plantation that he would have no outside interference and that, if necessary, they would defend the Peoples Temple to the death. And so they did.
On November 18, 1978, after his goon squad murdered U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan, who was visiting the hellhole on an official fact-finding mission, ordered over 900 of his parishioners to drink a concoction of cyanide-laced, grape-flavored Kool-Aid. On that day 918 people died, including 276 children who committed suicide at the hands of a lunatic.
In 2022, the voice demanding that we drink the Kool-Aid isn't coming from a single lunatic like Jones. Today, it is the voice of The American Pravda, joined at the hip with countless domestic and international “elites” as well as NGOs who hate America. These include the UN and World Health Organization, who both know that the only thing keeping them from their dystopian vision of World Governance with China at the helm is a strong and sovereign America.
There are signs of hope on the horizon and increasing momentum that people everywhere in America are tired of The Great American Lockup. The question is, are there enough?
Never forget, the Left loves total control over your mind, body, and pocketbook. They want you to believe that The Great American Lockup is still a Public Health necessity when in reality, it is their land grab for total control over our lives and power over our country.
If you keep drinking that Kool-Aid, Freedom in America will die… The Cause of Death: Suicide.
