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.

never noticed this before...
ref: Evidence of Revision 5 of 5 - MK ULTRA and the Jonestown Massacre - YouTube
these two segments are from two different documentaries...
@1:04:50, Dwyer is "mistaken" for Ryan - they say that Ryan goes over to shake the pilots hand, but that's not Ryan, it's Dwyer - how does one make such a huge mistake? that's near impossible
@1:05:30 - this time the event is represented accurately - Dwyer talks to the pilot, not Ryan

Keep puling the threads, man. You're on the right track.

spill the beans - what do you know?
my theory at this point is that Jones may have started out exactly as the mainstream version says; a somewhat fucked-up dude who truly wanted to help people - but at some point the church was co-opted by the CIA in order to experiment with how to control a population
i think Leo was seen as an opportunity only after he decided to visit Jonestown - i.e. the CIA took advantage of a chance happening to eliminate a threat to the CIA
the killing of Leo led to the closure of the op because of the public attention his death drew which, actually, i might guess that the CIA got what they needed out of Jonestown before Leo arrived, so nothing was really lost
then again, i might be entirely fucking wrong

You're pretty much exactly right.

I was incredibly drunk when I wrote that.
Then again, I've been drunker.

i will issue my decision as to whether to forgive you after you tell me what you were were drinking

I forget what I was drinking. But about Jonestown, there's a lot of weird shit involving Dan Mitrione. That, and Doctor Laurence Laird Layton.
