Anyone know about Jonestown? I know about Jonestown. I'm gonna spin you folks a yarn that's gonna be a bit convoluted but it's got a sort of method to it's madness. It all starts with a man who thought he could talk to God.Fellow by the name of Jim Jones. Inventor of the poisonous koolaid. He was a CIA agent.
Jonestown was a CIA operation. The guy who killed Senator Leo Ryan was a CIA agent.

Ive listened to all the tapes. The whole thing to me is way beyond interesting. It almost puts you there, especially the end where the kids are crying / screaming because they see their siblings being killed and know they're next. Chilling stuff

It also seems like the guy was high on some kind of experimental drug near the end. Most of the recordings before Jonestown make Jim Jones look super energetic and charismatic leader yet when you see him near the end the guy looks like he's on something. Slouching, slurred speech, lack of energy, always in the shade with sun glasses nearly 100% of the time like he was on a SSRI or tricyclic with photosensitive side effects.

he was taking drugs, but i don't know about experimental - yes, the deterioration in his life is blatantly obvious
question is, why did he want to escape and what was he escaping from? himself, or something else?

He was constantly on amphetamines. The proto-DEA and the CIA fed him drugs in order to control him

He was a puppet, loaded up with tons of drugs. He was on uppers, downers, all arounders, while claiming to have the touch of god. Course, if you tried to run from the temple, you were crazy, and doped up with Thorazine.
Some folks think the Jim Jones at the end was a doppleganger. That there were body doubles.

similar to Oswald
i don't know about Jones' doubles being similar in appearance, but i think i recall him being seen in 2 different places at the same time - where or why, i don't recall
