who are under 35 may not know much about it.

crazy story.

below is an interview with jim jones' son, who was on the cult basketball team and thus away from jonestown on the day it all went down. the clip below has a well done short intro to the basics of what happened at jonestown in 1978, where people may forget that a congressman was murdered before the mass suicide.


there be crazy in this world. what i find interesting reading about this stuff, as well as the scientology documentaries, is seeing how smart, otherwise successful, logical, and well educated adults can be brainwashed to believe and act out the most outlandish things.

Here's what you're taught in advanced scientology about the origin of mankind:
Xenu was about to be deposed from power, so he devised a plot to eliminate the excess population from his dominions. With the assistance of psychiatrists, he gathered billions of his citizens under the pretense of income tax inspections, then paralyzed them and froze them in a mixture of alcohol and glycol to capture their souls. The kidnapped populace was loaded into spacecraft (that looked like DC8 aircraft) for transport to the site of extermination, the planet of Teegeeack (Earth). They were thawed by putting them by volcanoes.
