Well "Loony Toon", how 'bout ya google the tape recordings and interviews that were recorded on the day of the mass suicide? Many of them by the survivors that ran into the woods because they wouldn't drink the kool aid under penalty of death!
You'er no better than a 9/11 conspirator!
The most famous of these interviews was a man who lost his wife and child, for Christ's sake! To this day he blames himself for believing in this monster! He holds himself responsible for their deaths! Doesn't take a brain surgeon to watch this guy's agony and realize he's givin' you a play by play of the last few minutes of this tragedy!
WTF is wrong with you? You are doing nothing but pissin' on the graves of his followers that actually believed he could help them to paradise, when you question those that survived it!
I suppose he split the take with the Congress Critter that went down there to try and help those that had figured out he was insane?
I expect this kind of claptrap from the DUmp, not here, where logical human beings reside!
You've posted some real doozies here before, but this one is just disgusting!
Get a frikin' grip!
Dear Allo, my, my, you are frisky today.
I believe I stated my compassion for the people that followed him and to the people that became bankrupt for trusting in him.
I was of the impression that the only survivors were the boys that refused to come back to the colony when ordered to by Jones--they had a game to compete in elsewhere.
Some of the flock here in the USA did in fact go visit the colony before signing over their earthly goods and came home scared to death of that man. Most had family living in the colony that refused to leave, brainwashed as they were.
Jones did have in fact his own security force that was armed to the teeth. His security thought nothing of killing a US congressman to keep him out of the colony.
Then why do you suppose that this congressman went there in the first place.? Could it be that family's in the US were demanding someone to check into the well being of their family's .?
Were the politicians that were friendly to Jones and supporting him in the past getting a bit antsy about all the rumors and worried about their carears and association with him.?
If after the murder of everyone, where did Jones security force going to do, some people in the colony had been shot to death for refusing to drink the poisoned brew.
Lots going on here, someone had to have bought and stored the poison for future use, who made the huge vats of the drink and as people are all physically different, how did Jones know just how much to serve to insure death.?
Were the weapons used to kill the congressman and his entourage ever found.?
No one but no one can pull off a scam like this without help, who were his 2-3 advisers, were they among the dead.?
I am looking at this with religion as a pull but not the only reason for this horror.
This colony needed outside help, Doctors, Lawyers, town planing for assigning people tasks, garbage removal, bringing in food clothing and replacing items that could not be made by the colonists themselves.
People needed roads and airstrips to come and go, not to mention the Guyana government payoffs to the country that allowed them to build the colony. I cannot believe the Guyana's did not know what was going on, as long as the payoffs came they turned a blind eye to a bunch of Crazy Americans.
I am looking at this as a crime created by those using religious faith to in snare the innocent.
A crazy old Broad, I may be a Loony Tune in fact, but, I cannot just except the official version of this as being nothing more then a Preacher going nuts and forcing his followers to kill their children and themselves .
One can not forget that these victims were converts one and all, they had no family tradition to follow.
Give me a break here, those in fear of their lives could not just run off into the jungle with their children and expect to survive. There best hope of survival was to remain in the colony and pray someone would come and bring them home.
BTW I lived in the Canal Zone as a kid in Panama so I have memory's of the jungle there and I today or then would never try to set on foot in it.
Please understand Allo, the jungle is not a place like our Northern woods, on cannot just walk in there, one must chop their way through and 5 grown men with machetes may be able to clear a walking path of 100 yards but it will take them 2 days of labor, in the heat, the constant misquotes, snakes, wild boar, a million and one Poisson's critters, no one could come out of the jungle alive as a new comer.
An interesting thought here is the insurance company's that held life insurance on all those people. A suicide may void an insurance policy, a murder may pay out 3 times the policy's worth...The company's received great benefit from all this being though of as suicide and not murder.
I like you Allo you force me to think outside the box- Another high 5 to you.
