On this episode of Wife of Crime I am telling Russ all about the diabolical cult leader Reverend Jim Jones and his church The Peoples Temple. Most people have heard the expression "Don't drink the kool aid..." but not everyone knows where this warning actually stemmed from. Jim Jones started his church with a mission to help Black Americans at a time when racial tensions were at an all time high. He preached a socialist message and in the early years did many good things for the poor and homeless as well. But as time passed something sinister was growing inside of him. The power he held went unchecked and that power became a hell of a drug... In Part 1 we discuss Jim's childhood and the early years of his church. You may find yourself asking... can someone who does evil things also have good in them?? Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In Part 2 of the case of Jim Jones and The Peoples Temple the story continues with Jones telling his followers that it's time to head to South America to build a socialist utopia where they can live together in harmony. Reverend Jim Jones has already began to descend into madness but, a group of a little over one thousand loyal church members are ALL IN and have decided to follow him. Little do they know that this new beginning is really just the beginning of their tragic end. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In the '70s, a charismatic minister named Jim Jones convinced thousands of followers of his Peoples Temple that he was for them, moving them from the U.S. where he was being investigated for running a cult (lol, nothing to see here) to an agricultural commune in Guyana under the auspice that he was "creating a paradise free from the oppression of the U.S. government." Oh, and also, they had to call him dad, maybe sleep with him and never, ever leave unless they wanted to be shot.  But that's neither here nor there. He was FOR them, you guys. Of course, if you know anything about Jonestown, you know this didn't end well for 909 of them.  You'll never believe this, but the markers of Jim Jones—a guy who loved Hitler, schmoozing with politicians and exerting power over others—have a lot of overlap with our current RPOTUS (that would be rapist president of the United States).  In this episode, we welcome back—Dr. Janja Lalich, CEO of the Lalich Center on Cults and Coercion and foremost international expert on cults to answer our is-half-the-country-in-a-cult? questions.  She also recommended a book that we're going to recommend to you: The Brainwashing of My Dad: How the Rise of the Right-Wing Media Changed a Father and Divided Our Nation—And How We Can Fight Back, by Jen Senko.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Racist Suspect Joel Whitney. Classified as a White Man, Whitney is a Brooklyn, NY writer whose work has been featured in The New York Times, The Daily Beast, The Baffler, The Wall Street Journal, Newsweek, and Boston Review to name a few. He's "a former features editor at Al Jazeera America and a founder and former editor-in-chief at Guernica." Gus originally hoped to speak with Whitney about his 2016 publication, Finks: How the CIA Tricked the World's Best Writers. I'm not quite sure what my original motivation was for exploring this text - could have been Rev. Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple or Soundtrack to a Coup d'État. Anyway, by the time we got our calendars synchronized, Mr. Whitney had written another book, Flights: Radicals on the Run. Most of the featured subjects who had to flee oppression are Victims of White Supremacy like: Minister Malcolm X, Paul Robeson, Dr. Angela Davis, and Leonard Peltier - who recently benefited from a commuted sentence from departing President Biden. During the broadcast, Mr. Whitney repeated the tacky refrain that White people are also "held back" by Racism. He could only list two trifling ways that the System of White Supremacy holds him down. Whitney also engaged in another suspicious and common practice amongst Racist Suspects: Citing the work of Ibram X. Kendi, a Victim of White Supremacy, to confuse non-white people about what it means to be classified as White. #LorraineHansberry #FarceOnWashington #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

In this episode we highlight the pressures and motivations that led Jim Jones to migrate his flock to the middle of the jungle in a South American country in a location so remote - escape was almost impossible. Until Leo Ryan, a U.S. Congressman, touches down in jungle on a congressional investigation into the communist settlement known as Jonestown. After offering asylum to Jim Jones' brainwashed, religious hostages; Leo Ryan and his party of reporters and government employees are ambushed at the airstrip which they flew in on and Leo Ryan is murdered. What happens next is horrific and everyone knows about the Jonestown Kool-Aid cocktail.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jim Jones & The Peoples Temple Part TwoSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Jim Jones was an American cult leader and mass murderer who founded and led the Peoples Temple between 1955 and 1978. In what Jones termed "revolutionary suicide", Jones and the members of his inner circle planned and orchestrated a mass murder-suicide in his remote jungle commune at Jonestown, Guyana, on November 18, 1978.As a child Jim Jones was entranced with two things - Pentecostal preachers and Communism. Reflecting back on his participation in the Communist Party, Jones said that he asked himself, "How can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church."AND SO HE DID.He began his religious career in 1952, Jones was hired as student pastor to the children at the Sommerset Southside Methodist Church, where he launched a project to create a playground that would be open to children of all races. Jones continued to visit and speak at Pentecostal churches while serving as Methodist student pastor. He felt called to the pomp and circumstance of the Pentecostal movement. There was something about the attention that he just could not get enough of... that would lead him to start his own Church, The Peoples Temple.

The Context of White Supremacy welcomes Matthew D. Taylor. A White Man and California native, Taylor “is a religious studies scholar and expert in independent charismatic Christianity and Christian nationalism. He is the creator, writer, and narrator of the Charismatic Revival Fury audio-documentary series on the Straight White American Jesus.” Gus T. heard about Taylor's 2024 publication, The Violent Take It By Force: The Christian Movement That Is Threatening Our Democracy,” during the 2024 US presidential election campaign. Reports once again predicted that White evangelicals would be a solid, White rock of support for Trump's third try at the White House. Taylor's work explores how the White evangelical bloc became such staunch, violent allies for our current, less than pious president. He highlights how many of the now-pardoned White Terrorists who stormed the Capitol on January 6, 2021 believed they were soldiers in the army of White God who were battling against “dark,” satanic forces opposed to Trump's second term. Gus is amazed The Peoples Temple's Jim Jones was not mentioned in this book, as he's is sterling illustration of the dangers of White evangelicals who deceptively use religious rituals to support the violence of the System of White Supremacy. The details about White female evangelical powerhouse and Suspected Racist Paula White again illustrate that most people classified as black do not understand what it means to be classified as White nor do we suspect White people of being Racist. #WhiteGeneticAnnihilation #ManifestDestiny #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy makes time on the federally recognized holiday for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. to study the work of Dr. Frances Cress Welsing. During Gus's Counter-Racist California Sojourn, he located a number of audio recordings of Dr. Welsing debating Dr. William Shockley as well as her giving lectures to groups of black people. One such recording is of a 1982 presentation the Grandcestor gave in Compton, California. She spoke at Compton Community College in April of '82, which is just over three years removed from the Jonestown massacre - which involved a large number of black Californians. Dr. Welsing makes time to mention the Peoples Temple in fact. She also discusses the sacrifices made and lessons that must be learned from the life and murder of Dr. King. Importantly, Dr. Welsing emphasizes that non-white people are not serious about Replacing White Supremacy With Justice - which is mostly still true in 2025. #WhiteGeneticAnnihilation #StraightOuttaCompton #TheCOWS16Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Jim Jones founded the Peoples Temple with promises of equality and community, but his vision spiraled into fear, control, and tragedy. In this episode, we follow the rise of Jones, the creation of Jonestown in the Guyanese jungle, and the devastating events that led to over 900 deaths. From staged miracles to “revolutionary suicide,” we unravel how a utopian dream became one of history's darkest chapters.

After spending over a month in the "Golden State," Gus T. debriefs on his California Counter-Racist Sojourn. We hear details on Gus' November 18 visit to Evergreen Cemetery in Oakland, the mass burial cite for the Victims of the Jonestown slaughter. Gus spoke with relatives of those who were killed in Guyana and was able to ask a group of these black people if they thought Rev. Jim Jones was a Racist. Gus also details the experience of visiting the special collections libraries at Stanford University and the University of California at Berkeley. Gus did not encounter any black librarian employed with special collections at any of these California libraries he visited. White professors like Dr. Phil Zimbardo, who conducted the infamous Stanford prison study, has massive boxed of files on the Peoples Temple and Jim Jones - including years of interviews he conducted with survivors of the Guyana slaughter. Dr. Zimbardo taught his White Stanford students about Jonestown in connection to Nazi Germany. While on this massive counter-racist business venture, Gus saw Erykah Badu, visited Stanford 8 times, Cal-Berkeley 7 times, UCLA twice and USC once. He visited the beach 5 times, hiked San Francisco's Land's End Trail, visited the San Francisco Museum of Modern Art three times, heard Kara Walker discuss her amazing new exhibit, got a haul of farmer's market goodies (yellow watermelon), and looted gigabytes worth of Jonestown material. #TheCOWS15Year INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Cult leader Jim Jones promised the congregation of the Peoples Temple 'Heaven on Earth' in the form of the Jonestown commune in Guyana. However, the cult would come to a deadly end on November 18th, 1978, with the forced suicide of over 900 men, women, and children. Retired San Francisco Police Captain Yulanda Williams was only 12 years old when her family joined The Peoples Temple. She shares how she was able to escape Jonestown before the infamous massacre, and how her survival shaped the rest of her life.

We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS Gus T. Renegade is on the second - and substantially longer - portion of his California pilgrimage. Now in San Francisco, Gus has been able to research the Peoples Temple, Zebra Murders and the assassination of Dr. Marcus Foster - all of which is rooted in Bay Area history. Gus has also been more mindful of the presidential election since escaping Los Angles. Vice President Kamala Harris worked in the District Attorney's Office hear in the 415, but recent reports show here California support is lagging. In Florida, an 18-year-old White teen was arrested after brandishing a machete in front of election workers. Gus T. hosted this program live from the main branch of the San Francisco Library after an afternoon robust researching. Unfortunately, the WiFi was lost during the program which compromised the audio quality near the end of the program. #BlackMalePrivilege #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Jim Jones....Jim Jones....what can we say about Jim Jones? Early on young James found he had two things going for him, his newfound love of religion and his ability to memorize sermons and scripture. What started out as lil Jimmy preaching to the other kids in town, took a slight detour in dealing monkeys (not a euphemism) before he finally performed enough bullshit faith healing to start a church of his own. It didn't take long for Jim to find his own brand of religion which if we're being honest here, sounded pretty damn good in the beginning. But then the doomsday dreams started happening, combined with the power that came with being worshipped, and add in some drugs cause why not. Jim did what any sane person would do, he made himself the Messiah, kidnapped a kid, and took a bunch of his followers to the jungles of Guyana, normal shit. Well I wish I could say that was the end of it, but it gets tragic when Jones' god complex results in the death of over 900 people in a mass cult suicide. Support the show

In this spine-chilling episode of Creepy Budeez, Brian, Bean, and Gary dive into the shadowy world of cults. From the ancient cults of the skull that held dark rituals in the misty beginnings of civilization to the infamous Peoples Temple and the tragic legacy of Jim Jones, we explore the twisted beliefs and charismatic leaders that have shaped these secretive groups throughout history

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 6th study session on The Zebra Murders: A Season of Killing, Racial Madness and Civil Rights. Despite Prentice Sanders' name being listed first on the cover of this work, Cohen, the White man, is the strong hand controlling the pen of this book. Last week we learned about the impact of the kidnapping of Patty Hearst on California and national politics. Black people were blamed for stealing the White Woman, and many non-white people feared there would be extreme Racist reprisal for the alleged attacks on White people. Gus stresses that Rev. Jim Jones having almost nothing to say about the Zebra killings or the subsequent stop and searches of black males. Additionally, the Peoples Temple was located on 1859 Geary Boulevard. The Nation of Islam temple frequented by the suspected black male killers was located at 1809 Geary. #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 5th study session on The Zebra Murders: A Season of Killing, Racial Madness and Civil Rights. Authored by Bennett Cohen, Racist Suspect. Prentice Sanders is classified as a black male and is credited with serving almost 40 full years with the San Francisco Police Department. This murder case reportedly involved random White people being killed by random black dudes. These killings took place at the same time that both the Black Panther Party and the nefarious Symbionese Liberation Army were in operation in the Bay Area. In addition to these infamous social clubs, Rev. Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple were well established in San Francisco's Fillmore district by 1973. In fact, Jones talked to his mostly black congregation about these homicides. After one week of study, Gus concluded that the White author, Cohen, is the primary hand writing this book. Mr. Sanders probably retold his life and times to this White Man, but had no authority in constructing how this book was written. Gus could be wrong. Last week, we learned that the Muslim mosque frequented by several of the black males suspected of being involved in the killings is on the same street at the Peoples Temple. Right next door actually. On January 28, 1974, the "zebra murders" resumed and intensified with 5 White people shot in one night. SFPD began "stopping and frisking" random black males, and USC star and eventual 4-time Super Bowl champion Lynn Swann and his 3 black males friends were assaulted, insulted and arrested. The so called "ghetto reward" went unclaimed, as no black people stepped forward to "snitch." #TheCOWS15Years #HammerinHankAaron INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Mr. Sanders probably retold his life and times to this White Man, but had no authority in constructing how this book was written. Gus could be wrong. Last week we learned about two black male suspects for the killings. Larry Green and JC Simon has no criminal record, but were affiliated with a "radial" Nation of Islam sect. The White author talks about radical black "rage" and titles chapter six: "Revenge." We're told that black people have a distinct way of running - even when fleeing a crime scene. And we're told the negro murder suspects visit a muslim mosque at the corner of Geary and Fillmore. The Peoples Temple was at located at 1859 Geary Boulevard. Gus thinks Jim Jones had to be involved with the "Zebra killings" because of the proximity of the murders and because he was suspiciously quiet about these happenings. #NoNiggrasAtTheChristmasParty #CaliforniaStateHistory INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

In what Jones termed "revolutionary suicide", Jones and the members of his inner circle planned and orchestrated a mass murder-suicide in his remote jungle commune at Jonestown, Guyana.Don't Drink The Koolaid.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/crime-corner-with-jessie-wiseman/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 6th and final study session on Kenneth Wooden's The Children of Jonestown. Wooden was a journalist at the time of the Guyana genocide and wrote extensively about the mass murder during 1978 and 1979. Like Meiers, Wooden is classified as a White Man. Having immersed ourselves into the life and times of the Rev. Jim Jones, we'll seek better answers about how "father" was able to acquire and kill nearly 300 children - most of them classified as black. Last week, Wooden again implied that Jim Jones was trained and mentored by privileged black male Father Divine. He details how Tim Carter, a White temple member, supplied Jones was critical information while in South America. Importantly, Carter was able to fly from San Francisco to Guyana. Most of the black church members were tricked and sequestered on cramped, jalopy buses that trekked from California to Florida, then they boarded a ship like slaves. Many black children and older people, like Dee Dee Smith, were literally bound, drugged and kidnapped to a foreign continent where they were killed. Wooden again descried the black people in Jonestown being treated like "slaves" - which is widespread in reports on the Peoples Temple. When detailing the security at Jonestown, Wooden detailed the firearms and crossbows that were found. Gus asked how many C.O.W.S. listeners would have the skill to use a crossbow to shoot a person. There were Vietnam veterans in the Peoples Temple and Jones' staff. #BlackBabiesCostLess #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Context of White Supremacy hosts the weekly Compensatory Call-In 07/13/24. We encourage non-white listeners to dial in with their codified concepts, new terms, observations, research findings, workplace problems or triumphs, and/or suggestions on how best to Replace White Supremacy With Justice ASAP. This weekly broadcast examines current events from across the globe to learn what's happening in all areas of people activity. We cultivate Counter-Racist Media Literacy by scrutinizing journalists' word choices and using logic to deconstruct what is reported as "news." We'll use these sessions to hone our use of terms as tools to reveal truth, neutralize Racists/White people. #ANTIBLACKNESS In spite of the grappling and disagreement on "climate change," extreme weather events continue to batter the planet. In the Houston, Texas, more than a million residents - many of them classified as black and/or non-white - were without power for most of the week after Hurricane Beryl invaded North America. Many black Texans labored through high heat, lack of generators, medical conditions, and other basic necessities. In Maryland, state officials announced that all heat-related fatalities for the state were located in Prince George's County. This region is at least 60% black according to published census data. In Illinois, Colette Seymore continues to seek answers for the disappearance of her offpsring Taylor Casey in the Bahamas. Seymore told News Nation that her daughter had two "strikes" against her" being classified as black and being "transgender." This week the distraught mother charged that officials on the Caribbean island and the yoga studio that Taylor was visiting in the Bahamas have not done all that they can or exhibited much genuine concern about her missing black child. Finally, just as The C.O.W.S. was preparing to broadcast live, reports indicated shots were fired at former President Donald J. Trump during his political rally in Butler, Pennsylvania. Images appeared to show Trump bleeding from his ear, and it's reported that the alleged gunman and one spectator were killed at the event. The former president vows to fight on. The whole scene reminded Gus of Rev. Jim Jones orchestrating faux assassinations to further dupe and control Peoples Temple followers. #ReadingIsMoreImportantThanWatchingTelevision #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 5th study session on Kenneth Wooden's The Children of Jonestown. Wooden was a journalist at the time of the Guyana genocide and wrote extensively about the mass murder during 1978 and 1979. Like Meiers, Wooden is classified as a White Man. Having immersed ourselves into the life and times of the Rev. Jim Jones, we'll seek better answers about how "father" was able to acquire and kill nearly 300 children - most of them classified as black. Last week, Wooden told us about Julie Ann Runnels, a 12-year-old black female who was stolen by Rev. Jim Jones. When her black "relatives" saw her after a long period of the child being in the Peoples Temple, Runnels was without shoes, wearing soiled rags. She died in Jonestown. Gus pinpointed that the title of chapter 7, "The Paralysis and Failure of Government," is highly inaccurate. White government officials in Guyana and the US had the ability to move to action against the Peoples Temple and Rev. Jones. These powerful White officials lacked the will to address the hundreds of black children and people who would be killed in South America. #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The 1970s – Allegations, Media Scrutiny, and the Move to Guyana In the 1970s, Jim Jones and the Peoples Temple faced escalating allegations of abuse and manipulation.

American Heart of Darkness: Volume I:The Transformation of the American Republic into a PathocracyJan 3, 2021These days, most Americans know that the country has serious problems. Problems that will have to be addressed before the country can move forward. What are these problems? Where did they come from? Before we can move forward we have to know where we are and how we got there.American Heart of Darkness paints an unvarnished picture of the seeds of destruction that were sown into the foundations of the Republic from the very beginning. How did slavery come about in the land of the free? How did a pre-Columbian native population, in North America alone, of over eighteen million (yes, you heard it right) native peoples dwindle down to about two hundred thousand? Was it really Small Pox? Why has a people who constantly talk about freedom, democracy, equality, human rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness continually practiced racism, genocide, and war? How do drugs come into the country, and who is really behind the most profitable product sold in the world? There are also other unanswered questions that need to be explored:Why were thousands of the worst Nazi war criminals given refuge in the U.S.?Who financed Hitler?Where did Hitler get his master race and genocidal ideas from?Was Lee Harvey Oswald a C.I.A. agent?Were Oswald, Sirhan Sirhan, Ted Kaczynski, Timothy McVey, and the Peoples Temple all mind control, MKULTRA, subjects?What really happened in the Jeffery MacDonald, so-called Fatal Vision case?How does hundreds of billions of dollars come into the United States every year without detection?The answers to these questions, and many more, will surprise you! They are not in the History books, although they should be. American Heart of Darkness, Volume I, explores the ugly side of America that has been hidden for far too long, and it is literally killing us. This book is not for the reader looking for an uplifting story to escape everyday life for a few hours. It is for true patriots who are sick and tired of being lied to and stolen from. It is for those who know they need to do something but do not know where to start. It is for those who feel powerless and that Americas problems are far too big for little ol me to handle. It is for those with the courage to go from darkness to light. As comedian and activist Dick Gregory once said, If you been in the DARK for so long, LIGHT will hurt your eyes. This book will hurt your eyes. The reader will be shocked, then angry, then motivated, and finally, in the authors next two books, empowered and liberated. It is better to see where we are and where we need to go, right now, before it is too late.Congratulations! If you have read this far this book is probably for you. Please keep in mind the universal truth that with any form of government, the leaders only have the power that the people allow them have. This was true in India when a little skinny guy named Gandhi with no money and only a rag wrapped around his middle took on the British Empire, and won! There is no question that the American people have the power to reclaim a government that is clearly not being run for them. We have to empower ourselves to take this government back from only a handful of selfish and greedy individuals, who have proven that they only care about making more and more money. Let us all stop giving them the power that belongs to us. Reading this book is a beginning, and then we will talk about what to do about it in the authors next two books!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.

Wooden was a journalist at the time of the Guyana genocide and wrote extensively about the mass murder during 1978 and 1979. Like Meiers, Wooden is classified as a White Man. Having immersed ourselves into the life and times of the Rev. Jim Jones, we'll seek better answers about how "father" was able to acquire and kill nearly 300 children - most of them classified as black. Last week, Wooden detailed how Rev. Jones' personal library was half filled with works on the father of the 3rd Reich, Adolf Hitler. Jones apparently studied the science of brainwashing and owned material on de-programming former cult members. Like a typical Race-Soldier, Wooden suggests that Jones' chief inspiration and criminal teacher was Philadelphia's Father Divine. Meiers ignores Jones' efforts to steal Father Divine's congregation and his buzzard-like attempts to get Divine's White widow, Edna Rose Ritchings, to endorse the Peoples Temple. Wooden also ignores the influence of Jones' travels to Cuba and South America - where he was suspected of working for the CIA - before relocating his Indiana flock to California. We also learned more about the members of the Temple - including lots of illiterate, poor, highly vulnerable black people. This book has added to the pattern of Jones extraordinary focus on penises and genital mutilation.  #BlackBabiesCostLess #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

Having immersed ourselves into the life and times of the Rev. Jim Jones, we'll seek better answers about how "father" was able to acquire and kill nearly 300 children - most of them classified as black. Last week, Wooden detailed how Rev. Jones utilized a team of White lawyers to study child welfare and guardianship laws. This way he was able to skillfully utilize esoteric aspects of child law to abuse and kidnap with impunity. Horrifically similar to the Racist Hart Women we read about earlier this year, Jim Jones worked to maintain distance and seclusion so that few eyes would have access to what happened to the children of the Peoples Temple. This included the skillful use of words to avoid court appearances, where prying eyes may see something odd that requires asking questions. While Rev. Jones sipped cognac and ate high on the hog, the children of Jonestown ate rice loaded with maggots and castoff powdered milk. They were often too tired to reject the maggots. #BlackBabiesCostLess #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 15th & final study session on Michael Meiers' Was Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment. This genocide has countless parallels to our recent literary selections - Columbine, Michael Swango, and The Hart murder-suicide. The Rev. Jim Jones, a White man born in a Racially Restricted Region of Indiana, took a thousand people from California to Guyana. On November 18th, 1978, Jones killed nearly all 1,000 of his mostly black followers and orchestrated the assassination of Con. Leo Ryan. Some were shot, but most were poisoned with cyanide, just like "Double-0 Swango." For nearly 50 years, this event has been mostly understood as a bunch of brainwashed blacks following a White charlatan to their demise. Meiers' work suggests something more nefarious. Last week, we heard further analysis of the litany of books published in the immediate days and weeks following the Guyana holocaust. None of these books were authored by black people. Meiers stresses that most of these books fail to mention the connections between Jonestown and the CIA - or the CIA activities in South America at large during this same period. He still recommends reading and scrutinizing these books for details that reveal truth. White female journalist Mae Brussell took the same view on this topic. Gus was surprised to hear Meiers' theory that Mark Lane and Jonestown were used to distract from the 1978 House Select Committee on Assassinations, which was investigating the murders of President John F. Kennedy and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Mark Lane had written books and publicly suggested that a government conspiracy was involved in these assassinations. He was slated to speak at the congressional inquiry when Jonestown intruded. It's alleged that Lane knew that Jones planned to murder everyone, yet did nothing to alert authorities or prevent the massacre. He profited financially from representing the Peoples Temple and shacked up with "former" member Terri Buford for years. And he was lambasted in the press as an untrustworthy crackpot and likely Jones lackey who aided in the genocide. Meiers points out that Lane was correct about the government conspiracy to murder to Dr. King, which which leads him to think Lane may have been targeted to be neutralized by the rot of Jonestown. #COINTELPRO #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 14th study session on Michael Meiers' Was Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment. This infamous mass murder has countless parallels to our recent literary selections - Columbine, Michael Swango, and The Hart murder-suicide. The Rev. Jim Jones, a White man born in a Racially Restricted Region of Indiana, took a thousand people from California to Guyana, South America. On November 18th, 1978, Jones killed nearly 1,000 of his mostly black followers and orchestrated the assassination of Congressman Leo Ryan. Some were shot, but most were poisoned with cyanide, just like "Double-0 Swango." For nearly half a century, this event has been conventionally understood as a bunch of brainwashed black loons following a White charlatan to their demise in the jungle. Meiers' work suggests something far more nefarious. Last week, listened to the report "death tape" where "father" encouraged hundreds of black people and black babies to "die with dignity." Meiers emphasizes that the original body county from this massacre was a just over 400. He submits that a more credible theory than what we've been told - an additional 500 corpses were obscured by the 400 bodies on top, is that survivors were located and executed over the days after Nov 19th. Meiers also questions if White Peoples Temple members were able to escape the carnage. Meiers also questions to the avalanche of books that commenced being published before all the bodies had been counted in Guyana. Almost all of these books are written by White authors, are rife with lies, and insist on branding this event a "suicide" - which nullifies one's ability to logically, accurately grasp the history and demise of The Peoples Temple. #DrCarltonGoodlett #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the 12th study session on Michael Meiers' Was Jonestown a CIA Medical Experiment.

For nearly half a century, this event has been conventionally understood as a bunch of brainwashed black loons following a White charlatan to their demise in the jungle. Meiers' work suggests something far more nefarious. Last week, Meiers provided historical context for the area known as Guyana - including meddling and disruption by the CIA and White people in the US and UK. Rev. Jones had political clout with non-white government officials in South America, which allowed for the Peoples Temple to access thousands of acres of land for pennies and permitted the sect to traffic guns, narcotics and people with no interference from customs officials. Meiers also began to detail the drug experimentation Jones was conducting. This the main theme for Meiers' work and the reason given for why practically everyone at Jonestown had to be slaughtered. #PlanetOfTheApes #TheCOWS15Years INVEST in The COWS – http://paypal.me/TheCOWS Cash App: https://cash.app/$TheCOWS CALL IN NUMBER: 605.313.5164 CODE: 564943#
