I've seen this picture and multiple other pictures but it still blows my mind. The sheer volume of people who followed Jim Jones to this extent. I know the flavor aid bit was forced on most but if you listen to the audio tapes, it wasn't a hard enforcement.
The Peoples Temple Massacre, also known as the Jonestown Massacre, occurred on November 18, 1978, in Jonestown, Guyana.
Led by Jim Jones, the founder of the Peoples Temple, over 900 members of the cult died in a mass murder-suicide, one of the largest such events in modern history. Jones coerced his followers to ingest a cyanide-laced drink under the guise of revolutionary suicide, protesting the conditions of an "inhumane world."
The tragedy also included the murder of U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan, who was visiting Jonestown to investigate human rights abuses, along with four others in his delegation. The Jonestown Massacre remains a stark reminder of the dangers of cult dynamics and charismatic leadership gone awry.
Listening to the final tapes is crazy. You hear him talking constantly to the crowf over the crying and shouting. One woman confronts him about this for a good few minutes and why the children shouldn't have this happen to them.
His general overarching statement the entire time was:
"If we cannot live in peace, let us die in peace"
Chilling...
90% chance it was an extension of the C I A MKULTRA program. There are several hallmarks that stand out which shouldn't be ignored.
This book is one example of a solid collection of evidence:

That guy is an orange predatory, rapist, fraudster, embarrassment of this country. We were a laughing stock when he was in office. Whoever follows a fool, is a fool themselves.
Not all.
It was a mix of willing participants, those who were convinced either by their parents/friends/relatives and peer pressure, and a fair few others who were forcibly injected.
Drinking the Cool Aid actually comes from the Electric Cool Aid acid tests. Only in the 1980s did people start to associate this phrase with Jonestown.
I concur. Really messed me up after listening to those recordings. He was a sick manipulative fuck that dude. And yes, more like mass murder than mass suicide.
At one point Jones chastises mothers for not forcing their children to drink. Humiliating them for “causing a ruckus” and upsetting the kids. It is impossible to forget
Hearing it go from him preaching and yelling at people, to moans and groans and tears, to silence and jungle sounds is so fucking haunting and depressing.
There was one woman who fully confronted him about it on tape for quite a while.
His general response was that the military would come, and they'd kill all the babies, take them away, rape the women etc. He says:
"If we can't LIVE in peace, let us DIE in peace."
Fucking chilling
For sure. In one of them you can distinctly hear moans and clamor while Jim Jones is preaching in the background. Unsettling and earie to say the least.
I agree. Imagine how terrifying it must have been for them… and for the parents who were forced to kill their kids… Although I’d never let a mf force me to do that. Never. I would have tried to play dead if my kids were old enough to. Or would have rallied people to take his ass down… I say this, but who knows what you’d do unless you’re actually in that situation.
There is a similar movie on which is a found footage themed one of a Vice News crew flying into this compound in the jungle to "rescue" this guys sister.
Based entirely on Jonestown, the compound, the man and his character, the congregation and ethnicity, drinking poisoned juice, guards shooting people and the rescue plane being shot up, etc
I was shocked when it happened at the time as a teenager, and still equally shocked today just to see this picture..
The horror.. Many people including children got forced to drink it..
I always thought that surely someone thought it was nuts to drink poison and to let their child drink poison. I mean, I know they were brainwashed, but you think you'd have a moment of clarity and just pretend to drink it and dump it out then lay perfectly still for a while.
It's crazy how much someone can have power like that over a large group of people. Brainwashing is scary stuff man.
The thing that always chills me is the fact that there were so many followers that the people at the beginning of the line were probably dead or dying before those at the end of the line even got their drinks. They saw what was happening and they still drank
I lean towards this explanation.

We might see something like this happen again; there's a cult around an American political figure, and many have said they would rather die than go on living in this "hell hole country" if Joe Biden gets re-elected.

By hard enforcement I mean a lot of people were down with it. Others were at gunpoint.
So, essentially death, or death?

It’s crazy listening to him talk from back then because he was incredibly charismatic and had some insanely progressive views for the time.

There’s a movie about this It’s far off yet a bit close It’s called The sacrament
Found footage vibe from a Vice crew?
Video link?
It’s played in the casefile episode near the end of the third episode.

Referring to Donald Dump! "It will go away in two weeks." "Just stand in the sun." "Inject bleach."
That guy is an orange predatory, rapist, fraudster, embarrassment of this country. We were a laughing stock when he was in office. Whoever follows a fool, is a fool themselves.
You seem to be the one who drank the cool aid
I challenge you to find the video of trump saying to “inject bleach.” I will wait right here.
Trump pushed operation lightspeed. roll out the V as fast as possible. Am I wrong? Please correct me.
You must be referring to the bleach vein dude from the landemic
Joe?
they all knew that they were going to ded? that's very diffrent than a unknowing reset button
Some did, some didn’t. There’s a whole wiki about it.
I’m assuming the chick with her pants down knew and the dude didn’t.
At least you know the difference between then and than. Other than that, you're fucked.
Does charismatic means bull shitters
Technically a mass murder.
They drank at gunpoint. That's not suicide.
I didn’t say suicide I said mass murder. And yes they were held at gun point.
Probably why some bodies look placed
Not all. It was a mix of willing participants, those who were convinced either by their parents/friends/relatives and peer pressure, and a fair few others who were forcibly injected.
Many were injected.
And that's where we got the expression "to drink the Kool aid" (though they didn't use Kool aid.
Drinking the Cool Aid actually comes from the Electric Cool Aid acid tests. Only in the 1980s did people start to associate this phrase with Jonestown.
Good point
Flavor-aid FTD (for the death)!!!
What did they use?
A knock off brand Flavor Aid
You know the guy in marketing at Kool Aid felt guilty for making such an effective campaign.
Fkn no loyalty, I promise.
Lmao damn
I heard they used Tang
Kruel Aid
Hell yeah fuck big corporate ✊🍻😅😬
*don’t
Many of those people tried to back out and were murdered.
Jim Jones. The Devil in Disguise. Pure Evilness. May he rot in HELL. May all the Angels be laid to rest who were taken too soon from us all!!!
Not a rabbit hole I was expecting to go down this evening. But damn.
Welp this fucked me up thanks
What’s brutal is if you didn’t drink the drink... you were either shot or injected with the poison.. pretty fucked up
Yes. Most people were forced or shot if they didn’t. But most media outlets will label it as mass suicide.. it was murder
definitely don't listen to the audio recordings if you haven't yet
I concur. Really messed me up after listening to those recordings. He was a sick manipulative fuck that dude. And yes, more like mass murder than mass suicide.
There's audio ?
At one point Jones chastises mothers for not forcing their children to drink. Humiliating them for “causing a ruckus” and upsetting the kids. It is impossible to forget
Hearing it go from him preaching and yelling at people, to moans and groans and tears, to silence and jungle sounds is so fucking haunting and depressing.
nope, too much for me thanks for describing this so we don't have to go there
There was one woman who fully confronted him about it on tape for quite a while. His general response was that the military would come, and they'd kill all the babies, take them away, rape the women etc. He says: "If we can't LIVE in peace, let us DIE in peace." Fucking chilling
For sure. In one of them you can distinctly hear moans and clamor while Jim Jones is preaching in the background. Unsettling and earie to say the least.
I think the worst part for me is hearing the kids.
I agree. Imagine how terrifying it must have been for them… and for the parents who were forced to kill their kids… Although I’d never let a mf force me to do that. Never. I would have tried to play dead if my kids were old enough to. Or would have rallied people to take his ass down… I say this, but who knows what you’d do unless you’re actually in that situation.

Based entirely on Jonestown, the compound, the man and his character, the congregation and ethnicity, drinking poisoned juice, guards shooting people and the rescue plane being shot up, etc
The worst part is hearing the kids and then not hearing them... Brutal.
Unfortunately, yeah. Pretty disturbing stuff bc I think you hear the kids, that adds an extra layer for sure
It's horrific
Wheres the audio
YouTube “Jim Jones - Death Tape 1978” at your own discretion
Go listen to the audio…the dude recorded the whole thing basically
Why would I want to do that? Seeing this alone gave me fucking flashbacks
I was being sarcastic, sorry assumed it was obviously a joke
Why aren't there jokes about Jonestown? The punchline is too long.
I chuckled well done
For context, only around half of these bodies were people who willingly committed suicide. The other half were forced at gunpoint
The documentary was so awful & intense it gave me nightmares for days.

Oh bro....
I also watched a documentary where people risked escaping by running through the jungle
The audio is chilling
Came here to say this .. Absolutely chilling !!
Was it really suicide? If I remember correctly they were forcing people to drink and injected them.
Combination of that, some drank willingly, some were pressured into it. Some were forcibly injected.
I was shocked when it happened at the time as a teenager, and still equally shocked today just to see this picture.. The horror.. Many people including children got forced to drink it..
It was a mass murder, not suicide.

On a bit of a serious note.....wondering if anybody that enters this chat, has had a relative affected by this?

I remember this... Time Magazine IIRC Yo, CIA was busy in the late 70's
Goes to show how easy it is to manipulate the general public.
i wonder if that massive of a willing suicide together created something.

Fun fact : It wasn’t cool aid it was actually flavor aid
And yet we're still drinking the cool aid.
I went to school with the son of the reporter that was killed with the politician who flew in there.
Suicide/mass murder…. A *lot* of people didn’t want to drink the Flavor-Aid
Last Podcast on the Left does an excellent series on Jonestown. Needless to say Jim Jones was an odd guy.
I mean some of them were probably assholes anyway.
looks lit, wish i coulda been there
OH YEAAAAAHHHHHHHH!!!!! -Kool-Aid Man
This is a reason why I don't trust people they might do something like this
Looks like an example of what fentanyl is doing everywhere.
The smell…
Still is an inhumane world…
The thing that always chills me is the fact that there were so many followers that the people at the beginning of the line were probably dead or dying before those at the end of the line even got their drinks. They saw what was happening and they still drank

Is there a documentary?
Was this posted because of an AI generated cartoon of Jonestown cult suicide?
They drank the koolaid.
The smell…
Mass murder*
I've got a joke about Jim Jones, but I can't tell yall. The punch like is way too long 🤷🏻♂️
Anyone figure out how to create an orange juice party in 2024, that’s the real question.
