The article further details how Jim Jones cultivated political alliances and close ties with then S.F. Mayor George Moscone, Supervisor Harvey Milk, then Assemblyman Willie Brown, then Supervisor Dianne Feinstein, then Governor Jerry Brown, and even the 1976 Jimmy Carter/Walter Mondale campaign ... "the wild and bloody birth of San Francisco values" indeed; murderous marxist social utopianism in motion towards mass suicide and murder.

Part II - Peoples Temple’s inside man

When investigators began uncovering Jim Jones’ sordid web of violence and corruption, he was one step ahead of them

Part III - A heaven made in hell

Even as he slid deep into madness in his jungle “paradise,” Jim Jones found support in high places in San Francisco

Jones was a full on progressive, social justice, collective salvation type.

When I think of demonic possession, I don’t think of the head spinning around crap. I think of Jones, Hitler, Stalin, Manson, and Alinski.

Wow, I had no idea

I can’t recall if Jimmy Carter ever attended the peoples temple but am sure Rosalyn did.

I remember them praising Jim Jones to high heaven. When I read that he would throw a Bible on the floor and stomp on it, I knew what he really was.

My old Man spent a lot of time in SF in the late ‘30’s, we had a lot of family who settled there in the 1849-50 time frame. He said it was a very strange place even then.

David Talbot is wrong on several points,

1) It was much worse, much more evil, and much more premeditated than he suggests.

2) No one was "ensnared", San Fransicko progressives all had the same morals, ethics and agenda as Jones, they all eagerly made the standard deal with Satan.

3) San Franciscans got what they deserved and have degenerated consistently continuing through today.

He was an avowed communist.

All evil men are.

“San Francisco values.”

There's a contradiction in terms ...

Milk knew how dangerous Jones was, but did anything he could to get elected. There’s even a handwritten note from him telling Jones his name was “cut in stone” in support of the Temple

I remember it well, was working in the Fillmore when Jonestown went down, went through People’s Temple when they auctioned all their stuff off.

Jones’ last speech is today’s Democratic standard speech on race and immigration.

[editor-surveyor]

Jones didn’t just plant his roots in the Filmore; he also planted some on the east side of the bay in Lafayette, and south in Santa Cruz, in both cases in the Disciples of Christ churches, populated with lazy liberal looney school teachers and pro communist agitators.

Many in both towns still think Jones got a bad rap.

I understand that San Diego State University has a Jim Jones sycophant on the payroll.

Also, Jane Fonda supported him Jim Jones.

Our favorite fellow traveler critical race theorist Soledad O'Brien has done a story on them. I haven't seen it, but I would guess she doesn't go into too much details about the democrat connections.

If you guys haven’t seen Powers Boothe as Jim Jones in ‘Guyana Tragedy’ you really should. I highly recommend it. He was amazing and deserved that Emmy.
