The Peoples Temple was formed in Indianapolis, Indiana, in 1955. Though its roots and teachings shared more with biblical church and Christian revival movements than with Marxism, it purported to practice what it called "apostolic socialism". In doing so, the Temple preached that "those who remained drugged with the opiate of religion had to be brought to enlightenment—socialism." In the early 1960s, Jones visited Guyana – then a British colony – while on his way to establishing a short-lived Temple mission in Brazil.
After Jones received considerable criticism in Indiana for his integrationist views, the Temple moved to Redwood Valley, California in 1965. In the early 1970s, the Temple opened other branches in Los Angeles and San Francisco, and would eventually move its headquarters to San Francisco.
With the move to San Francisco came increasing political involvement by the Temple and the high levels of approval they received from the local government. After the group's participation proved instrumental in the mayoral election victory of [DemonRat] George Moscone in 1975, Moscone appointed Jones as the Chairman of the San Francisco Housing Authority Commission.Added in for educational purposes:
[After moving to San Francisco Nancy Pelosi was friends with 5th District congressman Phillip Burton, and in 1976, she was elected as a Democratic National Committee member from California. She was elected as party chair for Northern California in January 1977, and four years later was selected to head the California Democratic Party.--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nancy_Pelosi]
[Jim Jones, Power Broker for Feinstein, Pelosi & Others
Jones, who founded the Peoples’ Temple, was a power broker in San Francisco in the 1970s. His group controlled the Bay Area and demanded unwavering loyalty from anyone who sought political office. George Moscone, Willie Brown, Diane Feinstein and Nancy Pelosi were some of the leaders of this group. Pelosi had become the state Democratic Party chairman for northern California and came from the city of San Francisco.
In 1976, Assemblyman Willie Brown, later the longtime speaker of that body, compared Jones to Martin Luther King, Angela Davis, Albert Einstein, and Chairman Mao in an introduction. It was meant to be a compliment.
That same year, Walter Mondale, Jimmy Carter’s vice-presidential candidate, met personally with Jones. So did Jimmy Carter’s wife, Rosalynn. San Francisco mayor George Moscone, later assassinated in 1978, even appointed him to San Francisco’s housing commission.
Dianne Feinstein joined the rest of the San Francisco board of supervisors in honoring Jones “in recognition of his guidance and inspiration” in furthering “humanitarian programs.”--https://www.independentsentinel.com/remember-jim-jones-pelosi-says-san-fran-values-are-what-were-about/ ]
Unlike many other figures who are considered cult leaders, Jones enjoyed public support and contact with some of the highest level politicians in the United States. [ALL DEMOCRATS] Jones met with vice presidential candidate Walter Mondale and First Lady Rosalynn Carter. Guests at a large 1976 testimonial dinner for Jones included California Governor Jerry Brown, Lieutenant Governor Mervyn Dymally, and California Assemblyman Willie Brown, among others. . . .
The politically inspired delusions of San Francisco Democrats proved contagious. Jimmy Carter’s running mate, Walter Mondale, met with Jim Jones in San Francisco in 1976. Carter’s wife, Rosalynn, found Jones so impressive that she campaigned with him, ate with him, allowed him to introduce her during a campaign speech, telephoned him, and put him in touch with her sister-in-law, Ruth Carter Stapleton. Friends in high places suppressed investigations in the United States, misled officials in Guyana into dismissing allegations against the lunatic in their midst, and biased State Department hands into siding with Jones in his fight with outraged relatives of the captives in his concentration camp.--https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/10/drinking-the-kool-aid-remember-when-jim-jones-was-a-hero-to-democrats/
The person who orchestrated this cataclysm earned the Los Angeles Herald’s “Humanitarian of the Year” designation less than three years earlier. A white man who enslaved, raped, and killed African Americans in Jonestown won a Martin Luther King Jr. Humanitarian Award in 1977. Religion in American Life named the reverend who distributed confiscated Bibles in Jonestown only after the commune’s bathrooms ran out of toilet paper as one of the nation’s 100 outstanding clergymen in 1976.
Those who drank Jim Jones’s Kool-Aid in Guyana did not drink it first.
“Don’t be this way,” Jones told his doomed flock on November 18, 1978. “Stop this hysterics. This is not the way for people who are Socialists or Communists to die. No way for us to die. We must die with some dignity.” . . .
. . . All but seven communards present in Jonestown when the killings began died there. None did with any dignity. The bodies, after suffering convulsions, rotted quickly in bloated piles in the steamy South American jungle. Jones dispatched three Peoples Temple members to the Soviet embassy to deliver the group’s remaining riches. [7 million dollars] Four others escaped or evaded the suicide ritual. Everybody else died.--Jonestown Massacre: The Untold Truth 40 Years Later, By Daniel J.

. . . . Demographics--https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonestown
Black people made up approximately 70% of Jonestown's population. 45% of Jonestown residents were black women.
Black female = 460 (45%)
Black male = 231 (23%)
White female = 138 (13%)
White male = 108 (11%)
Mixed female = 27 (3%)
Mixed male = 12 (1%)
Other female = 13 (1%)
Other male = 10 (1%)
There were 918 [wannabe demonRat/communist/socialist] people who died in Guyana on November 18, 1978. And that is exactly what the scumbags Biden, Feinstein, Pelosi and the democRat party would like to do to this whole nation.
