Are they going to cover the part where Jones was good friends with Harvey Milk, Willie Brown and other top SF dems, and let them call in to Jonestown to give speeches over the PA system?

Or nah?

Is this the Kool Aid screenplay that got killed in The Studio and made Martin cry?

They are calling it “Kool Aid” at the request of the studio head.
ETA I should have known that would have already been posted.

Hence the “civil rights” part I posted above.

The world will never be allowed to know what a degenerate Milk was.

Daniel Flynn's "Cult City" is a great exploration of the ties Jones had to the power brokers in San Francisco, including Milk and Brown. But I have a feeling that will be too much for our resident NPCs to handle

I'm sure they'll delve really deeply into Jones intelligence connections and that he may or may not have been working for 3Letters for 15+ yrs to employ the mind control works on a mass group.



Jonestown and The Social Psychology of Accepted Truth, by David Godot (2005)

“There is a substantial body of evidence connecting Jim Jones and his Peoples Temple to the covert operations of the United States government intelligence community” including the involvement of “the self-proclaimed ‘anti-cult activist’ psychiatrist Dr. Sukhdeo, whose own attorney has stated that his trip to Guyana was funded by the U.S. State Department

Anyone who has done even light research on Jones knows his socialist ties. This isn't some big reveal.
