Jim Jones

From Conservapedia
Cult City: Jim Jones, Harvey Milk, and 10 Days That Shook San Francisco documents the relationship between two of America's Progressive pioneers, one the first openly homosexual candidate for office, the other America's biggest mass murderer.[1]

Jim Jones was a community organizer and head of the Peoples Temple, a progressive Democrat activist group in San Francisco in the 1970s.[2] After fleeing the United States with about 1,000 members in 1977 due to several investigations, Jones led the group of socialists in an act of "revolutionary suicide protesting the inhumane conditions of this world."[3] The group was a resistance movement fearing a fascist takeover of the United States.[4] Days later, Dan White, a moderate Democrat, murdered two prominent Democrats that Jones was instrumental in getting elected, Mayor George Moscone and city councilman Harvey Milk, a homosexual "rights" activist. The events elevated Dianne Feinstein into the national limelight.

Social Justice Warrior[edit]

Jim Jones shares the Martin Luther King Humanitarian Award. The Award was endorsed by former Democrat presidential nominee Hubert Humphrey, Vice-President Walter Mondale, Carter Secretary of HHS Joseph Califano, Watergate Committee chairman Sen. Sam Ervin, Democrat Senators Warren Magnusen, Philip Hart, Mike Gravel, Scoop Jackson, Representatives Ronald Dellums, Bella Abzug, Patsy Mink, Philip Burton, Don H. Clauson, George E. Brown, Jr., Lawrence Coughlin, Cardiss Collins, Don Edwards, R. Eckhardt, Jonathan Bingham, Washington Post owner and publisher Katherine Graham, San Francisco Mayor George Moscone, Art Agnos, and Willie Brown.[5]

Jim Jones was an avowed atheist.[6] Jones was frustrated with opposition to Communism within the United States which lead him to ask, "How can I demonstrate my Marxism? The thought was, infiltrate the church."[7][8]

Jones was never spiritually-minded, but as a young man he did attend a Methodist church because serving the physical well-being of the poor appealed to him in the way it took place in that church's form of evangelical community outreach. But the particular church he eventually chose to "infiltrate" that lasted until the Jonestown Massacre was the Disciples of Christ denomination, which at the time gave their ministers a great deal of independence in operating their member churches. But that leeway was limited with regard to doctrine, and a Disciples of Christ minister who stopped by Jones' front while on a road trip had to be intercepted so he wouldn't be able to attend the church "services" of Marxist indoctrination and expose them.

The Temple openly preached to established members that "religion is an opiate to the people."[9] Accordingly, "those who remained drugged with the opiate of religion had to be brought to enlightenment - socialism."[10] In that regard, Jones also openly stated that he "took the church and used the church to bring people to atheism." [11] Jones often mixed those concepts, such as preaching that "If you're born in this church, this socialist revolution, you're not born in sin. If you're born in capitalist America, racist America, fascist America, then you're born with a big d***o in sin. But if you're born in socialism, you're not born in sin."[12] Speaking to the Jonestown community, Jones declared:

"I brought you here to regroup, recoup, rehabilitate and gain strength, and militancy, and a proper education in Marxist-Leninism, which you had never picked up, even though I was avowedly, openly Marxist-Leninist and atheist, you have never picked it up, for the most part, in the United States, except for a handful."[13]
Jim Jones ridiculed the Bible, stomped it on the floor in front of his flock, and instructed his followers to use it as toilet paper when their supply ran out in Jonestown.

The Temple claimed that "reactionary forces were trying to destroy his [Jones] image because he is the most persistent fighter for social justice."[14]

Political patrons[edit]

Long before Jones' Rainbow family drank the Kool-Aid,[15] the Democratic party leadership at the national, state, and local level did.[16]

The question for 21st century Americans is, "What is the significance of Jim Jones, and Why should we bother reading about him? Like it or not, Jim Jones is now part of American history, as Adolf Hitler is part of German history. What can we learn? Much, yet there is still much to learn.

Jim Jones was instrumental in the defeat of the Progressive movement and election of Ronald Reagan in 1980. Yet Progressivism was reborn in the first decade of the 21st century with the rise of Barack Obama.

The first principle lesson we can learn applies to the abortion debate: they murdered their children first, sapping the adults' will to live.

Harvey Milk[edit]

Main article: Homosexual agenda
Jim Jones promoted homosexual "rights", which appealed to Harvey Milk. Jones delusionally preached that everyone was "homosexual".[17] Milk praised the Temple in his column in the Bay Area Reporter. Milk, a perennial candidate for office aggressively sought Jones’s political blessing. Milk wrote Jones during a campaign for supervisor:
"Our paths have crossed. They will stay crossed. It is a fight that I will walk with you into . . . The first time I heard you, you made a statement: 'Take one of us, and you must take all of us.' Please add my name.”

Milk spoke at Peoples Temple and Jones provided Milk's campaigns with “volunteers,” a printing press, and publicity through the Peoples Temple newspaper, the Peoples Forum, with a readership of a half million. Once elected with Jones help, Harvey Milk provided Jim Jones with legitimacy. He lobbied on Jones's behalf to President Jimmy Carter, Secretary of Health, Education, and Welfare Joseph Califano, Guyanese Prime Minister Forbes Burnham, and other powerful figures.

Milk wrote to President Carter defending Jones "as a man of the highest character," and stating that people wanting to leave the Temple were trying to "damage Rev. Jones' reputation" with "apparent bold-faced lies".[18][19]

Milk wrote to Jones "my name is cut into stone in support of you - and your people."[20] On the 40th anniversary of his assassination, Milk was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by Barack Obama.[21]

Willie Brown[edit]

See also: San Francisco values

It was Willie Brown, the mentor of Kamala Harris, who first recognized that Jim Jones's organization could play a pivotal role in George Moscone’s run for mayor. Jones filled buses with temple members in Redwood Valley and Los Angeles and shuttled them to San Francisco. Voting procedures were liberal, and many nonresidents were able to cast their ballots for Moscone, some more than once. ‘You could have run around to 1200 precincts and voted 1200 times,’ said Moscone's opponent after losing by a whisper of a margin. Temple leaders claimed credit for Moscone's win.[22] The new mayor appointed Jones chairman of the Housing Commission Authority, making Jones the largest landlord in the city.

Salon magazine says,
“no political figures were more gushing in their praise of Jones than Willie Brown and Harvey Milk, San Francisco’s rising tribune of gay freedom."[23]
At a September 1976 testimonial dinner honoring Jim Jones, Willie Brown is at the far left and Jones is at the far right.[24]
Willie Brown, Governor Jerry Brown, George Moscone, Lieutenant Governor Mervyn Dymally and S.F. District Attorney Joseph Freitas among others attended a large testimonial dinner in Jim Jones' honor in September 1976.[25][26] Willie Brown served as master of ceremonies and introduced Jones, stating
"Let me present to you what you should see every day when you look in the mirror in the early morning hours ... Let me present to you a combination of Martin King, Angela Davis, Albert Einstein ... Chairman Mao."[27][28][29]
At another testimonial dinner, Brown introduced Jones, referring to him as "a young man came upon the scene, became an inspiration for a whole lot of people. He’s done fantastic things."[30] Brown stated "San Francisco should have ten more Jim Joneses."[31] Willie Brown had visited the People's Temple a dozen times, some by invitation and some on his own.[32][33] When investigations into the Temple's activities began, Brown said at a rally in support of Jones attended by Harvey Milk and others,[34]
"[h]e is a rare human being....he cares about people...Rev. Jim Jones is that person who can be helpful when all appears to be lost and hope is just about gone."[35]

After Congressman Leo Ryan announced that he would investigate Jonestown following the November 1978 elections, Willie Brown was still planning a fund raising dinner for the Temple that was to be held on December 2, 1978.[36]

Brown continued to praise Jones after the mass suicide, claiming that attacks on Jones were "attacks" on the black community. Brown stated he had "no regrets" over his past association the Temple and that he would not dissociate himself from it like other politicians.
"They all like to say, 'Forgive me, I was wrong', but that's bulls—t. It doesn't mean a thing now, it just isn't relevant."[37]

Jerry Brown[edit]

See also: Progressivism

Eleven days after Governor Jerry Brown was elected to a second term, the White Night in Guyana occurred. Not until Barack Obama led a resurgence of Progressivism and Jonestown faded into memory did Jerry Brown seek a third term.[39]

Jones made his followers available to support progressive Democrat candidates.[40] Of particular interest to politicians was the Temple's ability to produce 2,000 people for campaign work or attendance at an event with only six hours notice.[41] Mayor Moscone's press aide said that Jones offered thousands of "foot soldiers" willing to walk precincts and get out the vote, which was "an offer no politician in his right mind could refuse." Similarly, Mayor Art Agnos stated that "If you were having a rally for a presidential candidate, you needed to fill up the crowd, you could always get busloads from Jim Jones' church."[42] The chairman of the county Democratic Central Committee, the governing body of the Democrat Party in San Francisco, referred to the Temple as "a ready-made volunteer workforce," and Jones was "a man who touched a component of the consensus power forces in the city, such as labor and ethnicity groups....here was a guy who could provide workers for causes progressives cared about."[43]

Jerry Brown headed President Carter's transition team, and the month Carter was inaugurated, Jim Jones led citywide Martin Luther King celebrations a decade in advance of the day becoming a federal holiday. Jerry Brown was invited to speak at the People's Temple. President Carter sent a representative to a dinner.[44] Gov. Brown considered Jones for an appointment to the University of California Board of Regents.[45]

Walter Mondale[edit]

See also: United States presidential election, 1976

Jimmy Carter's running mate, Walter Mondale, met with Jones during the campaign.[46] Jones was one of the few people invited aboard his chartered jet for a private visit. Mondale stated regarding the Temple that "knowing the congregations deep involvement in the major social and constitutional issues of our country . . . is a great inspiration to me."[47]

Forbes Burnham was the founder of the People's Progressive Party of Guyana 1950 and the President of Guyana from 1964 to 1980. Burnham believed that, given the geopolitical conditions of the era, communism would be a better alternative. The USA and Britain nevertheless supported Burnham, leading to a disastrous economic situation in Guyana - the effects of which can still be felt today. In effect, much of Burnham's leadership saw Guyana obtain massive debts, experience stagflation, suffer a massive rise in crime, and was generally characterized by rigging of elections.

Burnham stated that Guyana allowed the Temple to operate in the manner it did on the references of Mondale, Rosalyn Carter and San Francisco Mayor George Moscone. Burnham also said that, when Deputy Minister Ptolemy Reid traveled to Washington in September 1977 to sign the Panama Canal Treaties, Mondale asked him "How's Jim?", which indicated to Reid that Mondale had a personal interest in Jones' well being."[48]

First Lady Rosalyn Carter[edit]

See also: Carter administration
Candidate Jimmy Carter asked his wife Rosalynn Carter to contact Jim Jones. She held a private dinner with him and had the Peoples Temple leader introduce her at the 1976 grand opening of the San Francisco Democrat Party Headquarters. Some 600 of the 750 listeners were delivered in temple buses an hour and a half before the rally. The organizer, who had called Jones for help, remembered how gratified she’d felt when she first saw the Jones followers spilling off the buses:
“You should have seen it – old ladies on crutches, whole families, little kids, blacks, whites. Made to order."[49]
Without Jones, Mrs. Carter might have spoke to a half-empty room.

After Carter was elected, Jones sat with Rosalynn Carter at the head table of the Democratic Convention Dinner.[50] Jones wrote to Carter requesting aid for Fidel Castro, whom Jones had earlier met with in Cuba.[51] In a handwritten letter to Jones on White House stationery, the First Lady wrote "Your comments on Cuba have been helpful. I hope your suggestion can be acted on in the near future." Carter also wrote that "I enjoyed being with you during the campaign -- and do hope you can meet Ruth soon", referring to her sister-in-law, Ruth Carter Stapleton.[52]

Angela Davis[edit]

"Putting People First" was a communist slogan long before the Clinton's adopted it.
See also: Communist Party USA

Angela Davis is a two-time Communist Party USA vice-presidential candidate.[53]

In 1970, Marin Count Judge Harold Haley's head was blown off by a sawed-off shotgun in a hostage incident in which members of the Black Panthers attempted to free Davis' lover, Black Panther member George Jackson. Jackson's younger brother took the judge, the prosecutor, and three female jurors as hostages and armed the defendants.[54][55] Davis had purchased several of the firearms used in the attack,[56] including the shotgun used to kill the judge.[57] Davis was also found to have corresponded with Jackson.[58] California considers "all persons concerned in the commission of a crime, whether they directly commit the act constituting the offense... principals in any crime so committed", and a warrant for her arrest was issued. J. Edgar Hoover listed Davis on the FBI's Ten Most Wanted List; the third woman to ever be listed[59] behind Ma Barker and Bernardine Dohrn. She was apprehended and John Abt, general counsel of the Communist Party USA, represent her.[60] Davis was eventually acquitted of any role in the plotting and execution of the crime.

Jim Jones initiated friendships with progressives in the area including Angela Davis and Dennis Banks of the American Indian Movement (AIM).[61] Angela Davis addressed the crowd in Jonestown via shortwave radio in the days just prior to the final "white night."[62][63] In her statement Davis expressed support for the People's Temple and told members there was a conspiracy against them. She said,
"when you are attacked, it is because of your progressive stand, and we feel that it is directly an attack against us as well."[64]

In 1979 Davis was awarded the International Lenin Peace Prize (formerly named the International Stalin Peace Prize) by the Communist regime of East Germany.

Huey Newton[edit]

See also: Black Panthers

Huey Newton was a co-founder of the Black Panther Party. Congresswoman Barbara Lee was a confidential aide to Newton.[65] Jones and Newton had the same lawyer, Charles Garry.

In 1973 Huey Newton published a book called Revolutionary Suicide. It was a tome on the latest hip cultural Marxist claptrap.
“The concept of revolutionary suicide is not defeatist or fatalistic. On the contrary, it conveys an awareness of reality in combination with the possibility of hope—reality because the revolutionary must always be prepared to face death, and hope because it symbolizes a resolute determination to bring about change.”
In Jones reading, Jones failed to distinguish between “revolutionary suicide” and “reactionary suicide”—surrender in response to frustrating conditions—the concept appears so ill-thought through as to make misunderstandings probable.

In January 1977, Jones journeyed to Cuba following a letter of introduction from Willie Brown asking Fidel Castro to treat Jones trip as a state visit. There, he held a summit with Huey Newton, who fled from charges in the United States involving the murder of a teenage girl and the pistol whipping of an older tailor. Both made the mistake of calling him "Baby." In Cuba, Jones and Newton discussed “revolutionary suicide” and other Marxist dialectical garbage. Jones made certain to publicize the trip to the congregation which included some of Newton's relatives. Jones boasted of healing Newton's parents of cancer.

In 1978 reporter Paul Avery depicted Huey Newton as addicted to drugs and rape and bullying and more. Jones attacked Avery in the Peoples Forum. “He’s sold his soul to the white company store,” Jones said of Avery, who years earlier told a Temple member of Jones: “I have yet to find one shred of evidence backing up anything bad that has been said against him. In fact, most everyone I’ve contacted has had nothing but good words about Jim Jones and his work.”

Jones read the entire 15,000 word article to his captive audience in Jonestown. Every paragraph or so, Jones interspersed his own critical commentary on Avery and co-author Kate Coleman's words. At the conclusion of the article, Avery and Coleman cite Newton's books, To Die for the People and Revolutionary Suicide, to buttress the idea that Newton, rather than face punishment for murder and beating his tailor, was likely scheming to partake in a self-destructive act granting him heroic socialist martyr status.
“And Paul Avery ought to be sick in his gut, because he knew what those historic words meant. To die for the people means to give up your life for the people you love. And revolutionary suicide is an act of giving yourself—if it even sacrifices yourself—to bring down the corrupt racist capitalist system.”
In ridiculing Newton's book titles, Avery and Coleman inadvertently mocked Jones, who regarded the Left-wing ideological gibberish as “historic words.” Jones labored to put Newton's theory into practice. He leased Jonestown the same year Revolutionary Suicide hit bookstores. In the intervening years, he conducted dry runs of revolutionary suicide. At Jonestown, he orchestrated “white nights”—chaotic episodes in which Peoples Temple leadership led residents to believe that some outside force lurked beyond the community's perimeter ready to invade.[66]

Newton spoke to Temple members via shortwave expressing support for Jones during one of the Temple's "White Nights".[67]

Newton's cousin, Stanley Clayton, was one of the few residents of Jonestown to escape.

Hubert Humphrey booted Fannie Lou Hamer out of the 1964 convention, seated the all-white Mississippi delegation, and was rewarded with the VP spot.[68] In 1968 HHH was nominated despite never appearing on any ballot in any primary.

Hubert Humphrey[edit]

See also: United States presidential election of 1968
Former Vice-President Hubert Humphrey and 1968 Democrat challenger to Richard Nixon for the presidency said of Jones,
"It is always good to hear that the spirit of the American people is still as vibrant and generous as ever. Pastor Jones seems to be a credit to your community, and I hope his good works continue to play an important power in the continued well-being of your area. Citizen power has always been one of my watchwords, and I’m glad to see it in action.
The work of Reverend Jones and his congregation is testimony to the positive and truly Christian approach to dealing with the myriad problems confronting our society today.”
