Jonestown is a model socialist community deep inside the Guyana rain forest, a dangerous and isolated jungle, that has been transformed into a booming agricultural paradise.
1. Jonestown was not in a rain forest and never has been. If you have ever been to a rain forest it is something you will never forget. Three separate ecosystems that depend on each other however neither is aware of the other. The top level consists of a never ending rainstorm in a humid conditions that is found no where else in the world. The middle level is a mass of vines going out in all directions and loaded with hundreds of animals many have never been cataloged The noise level is beyond anything humans can endure as they never shut up with screams you will never hear anywhere else. The bottom part is a celebration of rot, in which there is no soil, just the smell of swamp gas, as this is where everything ends up-natures landfill
The jungle that surrounded Jonestown is not considered dangerous because, what few animals that survive there, have very little contact with humans.
In the Amazon villages up stream a small city of natives that are the happiest people I have ever met. Ever afternoon around 3 or so everyone heads home to an event that goes back thousands of years. Using boards, tarpaulins discarded metal and what ever else they can find begin to border up there homes before it gets dark. Why? Because when it gets dark here they come-jaguars-and you can't even sit on your stoop because of them. They kill thousands each year, the biggest lot of them are never found.
That is a dangerous Jungle
They used to let tourist into the plains in the Congo. Not anymore because humans can not survive one afternoon much less the entire night.
What got me was out of nowhere hyenas of all shapes, sizes and color begin to circle around you. Then huge ram looking musk ox creatures, that are crazy and unpredictable, and will attack anything-like the side of our truck.Then a huge flock of Vultures lit in the trees inspecting there next meal-me. All that took place in 45 minutes.
That too is a dangerous jungle. The Jonestown settlement and the surrounding jungle was no more dangerous than your basic forest
Sharon Amos never stopped writing for more than 5 years and most of it is in her crappy handwriting that can take all day just to decrypt one sentence-much less a whole paragraph. There are more than 700 pages of this stuff no one has ever tortured themselves with it's decryption.
The complete failure of the Agricultural 'experiment 'is still difficult to fathom. There were three main reasons.
1. The total lack of formal training, or any kind of experience training in Biology, Botany, Chemistry ,Physics ,Anatomy, horticulture, fluid dynamics, management, business, thermal dynamics, husbandry, flock and crop management and so many more skills that were required for such a large endeavor.
Before leaving for Jonestown members filled out sheets of experience sheets and gave themselves professional skills ,they did not possess, as a way to get out of work. This had a huge effect early on.
2. A worthless and useless labor source, when at times,only one in 10 did actual work. A bloated businesses bureaucracy that strangled every function with endless meetings and conflicting ideas.
3. Jones control mechanism that every person should be poor , hungry, confused , tired and frightened to no end. He was a master at this.
Was Jim Jones a genus? In his own was-yes. He had the ability to almost instantly diagnose acute personally disorders-especially in young women. Self loathing being his main target-the only thing they hated more than there lives was themselves. Almost all of his harem had this disorder and many more-the more the better. An exception would be Paula Adams. While she was his number 1 *advertiser censored* and her coming into the temple is somewhat shaky she was not a self loathed miscount at all. Paula was a player, a con artist and a fraud and she was damn proud of it. She was certainly not going to drink poison. In some of the early 'healings 'she was a natural. Her acting and intensity was at the level of an academy award winner. Secretly handing 'father' some store bought chicken liver she fawned at his ability as he pulled the slimy sicknesses from the guts of the people desperate enough to believe in him. You really have to see it to believe it.
if a family sits down for supper with the news on in another room if the newscaster says 'Tom got the flu' no one would pay attention to it.HOWEVER if the news caster say's 'Tom got the 'swine flu' everyone would run to the television room to hear it. Never mind the fact that there never has, or will ever be a 'swine flu' it's just something the media made up. Journalists by nature say this is just another tool in their main mission which is to sell advertisements-informing the public is way on down in importance-near the bottom. They see it as harmless. I don't know about that since I have never worked in that capacity however I could never see it as harmless misinformation called a buzzword.
There is plenty of that thinking in this case. If you recall combine the media made up a term 'Trench coat mafia' which,of course, was silly. However the bureau still had to interview every single kid about it-who promptly laughed at it's stupidity. Months were wasted in doing this.
With this case-that was more than 20years before that case the term 'Angles' somehow came into play. Although the term was meaningless months of time got wasted here as well. There are about 800 affidavits in which they were ask this question-only to be told they never heard of it.
This mess was dumped into the lap of the FBI who had no idea who Jim Jones was and never heard the term 'peoples temple' The graphic photos beamed around the world had people wanting answers now -right now which was impossible.
These are just rambling rustling or 'research tiles' that will be used in the actually writing of the project-still several months away. They are never edited and the staff can change them when they see a need to.
This time emphasis will be placed on section 110-139 in the FBI vault, and decipher the horrible handwriting that no one has ever done.
