Jonestown is probably one of the most bizarre and disturbing cases of mass death involving an American cult. The thing is just so fucked up that I don’t believe the official version. I believe some sort of goverment was involved.

Officially, It was a mass murder-suicide of members of the California-based Peoples Temple cult at the behest of their charismatic but paranoid leader, Jim Jones, in Jonestown agricultural commune, Guyana. The death toll exceeded 900, including some 300 who were age 17 and under, making the incident one of the largest mass deaths in American history.

Seventy or more individuals at Jonestown were injected with poison, and a third of the victims (304) were minors.Guards armed with guns and crossbows had been ordered to shoot those who fled the Jonestown pavilion as Jones lobbied for suicide.

What truly happened here? Mkultra? A sacrifice to Satan?
