    This is an illuminating account of the Jonestown massacre, which occurred 40 years ago today. It's weird that the public came to think of what happened as a "mass suicide," when 300 children were forcibly administered cyanide. That's obviously mass murderhttps://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/11/10/jonestown-massacre-first-person-speier-ryan-jones-222222 …

        Corporate media pushes misinformation and misdirection along with consumerism, then and more so now.

        I always think of it as a mass murder.....suicide just seems an inherently individual act. If there are other people involved then there is coercion involved and social pressure, so it crosses into homicide.

        The documentary on Netflix about Jonestown is pretty interesting. His son and several others were in the capital at the time for a sport event. Jim Jones was involved in civil rights movement prior to going off the deep end w/ the cult.

        This is the best article I have read on Jones and his strange life. Which included, bizarrely, trips to Cuba, Brazil and repeated contacts with CIA uber creep Dan Mitrione. http://jimhougan.com/wordpress/?p=94

        Prominent Bay area Democrat murdered more Americans in a non military event than anyone until 9/11. Political allies included Pelosi, Jerry Brown, DiFi, Harvey milk, Willie brown & his mistress Kamala, ...even Jimmy Carter. He preached socialism as a replacement for God. All dead
