I respect and appreciate the topic of this video. I cannot watch it as this depicts people who believed in one man's words which lead to their and others dying. It was a horror. Be careful to not fall into another's delusions.
Narcissism losing power. 🤯
914 of the 918 dead, including Jones himself, were collected by the United States military in Guyana, then transported by military cargo plane to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware, a location that had been used previously for mass processing of the dead from the Tenerife airport disaster. The last shipment of bodies arrived early on the morning of November 27, 1978. The base's mortuary was tasked with fingerprinting, identifying, and processing bodies. The base's resources were overwhelmed, and numerous individuals tasked with moving or identifying the bodies suffered symptoms of PTSD. In many cases, responsibility for cremation of the remains was distributed to Dover area funeral homes.
In August 2014, the never-claimed cremated remains of nine people from Jonestown were found in a former funeral home in Dover. As of September 2014, four of their remains had been returned to next-of-kin, and the remaining five had not. Those five were publicly identified in the hope that family would claim their remains; all five remain unclaimed by family and have been interred at the Jonestown Memorial at Evergreen Cemetery in Oakland, CA, along with the remains of approximately half of those who perished on November 18, 1978.
My father acted like Jim Jones. I didn’t fully escape him until I was 50. Narcissists are dangerous people.
How so and why did it take so long?
I saw this one on RUclips back before they decided we can’t handle video shown on the freakin’ NEWS back in the ‘70s. Much more punch seeing what the reality was like. Thanks, YT, for protecting me.
😂😂😂 Blur out history YT
Yes it's for your own good! 😂
People should stand up to this bs every time , Netflix is full of it, RUclips is full of it, they change every event in history systematically,
I don’t know why, but this story gives me such a bad feeling in the pit of my stomach!! I can watch horror, movies, and have no issue, but this will always get me!!
Agree because it was real life not “Fantasy”!
@@StarGoddess_516 good point!
Same as the Waco guys, the branch Davidian stuff
It’s because this type of “religion” is still going strong. All you have to do is look to Stephen Furtick, Kenneth Copeland, Bill Gaither, etc etc.
There’s no difference. It’s called the New Apostolic Reformation.
Because there is a trust built between parson and congregation. There is vulnerability because of counseling etc. There is a thin line and when that line is crossed sometimes it's too late
Super important film ! Thanks for posting 🗽
It is amazing to think that a U.S. congressman and news crew would travel to such a precarious situation without any security of any kind.
Jim Jones had a church a couple blocks away from my family's business in the early 60s, before he went coo-coo. He was well known in the community and helped many people in the area with charity work, a food pantry, housing etc. I believe 50-60 Indianapolis/Indiana natives died in Jones Town, unfortunately.
And people don’t see the similarities between this and Kenneth Copeland, Stephen Furtick, Benny Hinn, Bill Gaither, and the list goes on and on and on.
Excellent documentary 💯💯👏👏
I attended his church in Indiana. I spent Christmas at Jim's house, sat on his lap, and loved going to church. That was long before this happened. I had a few very strange occurrences as a child with Jim. Those glasses hid more than you'd imagine.
I was 11 when this happened. I remember seeing the photos in Time magazine. It was surreal.
You can find the audio files from a recording device that was placed hidden under his chair, it’s well over an hour long and starts before they get into the drinks…the screaming and delving into chaos further into it isn’t for the faint of heart 😕
I have read and listened to a ton of true crime in my life, but that recording is absolutely the most horrific and terrifying thing I have ever had the misfortune of listening to. I felt so sad for the people who were too afraid to speak up. And the woman who tried to argue with him about Russia still being an option broke my heart. Dumb question. Did that woman end up dying or did she end up leaving?
@@missnataliedavis She was killed there. 1:25:08-1:25:31 is the depiction, followed up by her real-life photo.
Never heard of ths fascinating watch
powers booth played it well
Can you do a video about the troubles in Belfast
It's not what a narcissistic person does that's necessarily the scariest thing. It's what they can convince you to do.
Don't drink the Kool-aid 😮!!!
El diablo nunca recompensa con algo bueno. Él es miserable y su recompensa miseria.
Wikipedia's context flag is rather interesting. One of the most interesting characteristics of Jonestown is invoked in the documentary multiple times. A remote "settlement"? Not that simple. The Cult of The Peoples Temple & Jim Jones was motivated by his desire to create a socialist utopia, and not so much a place to safely worship. And like your classic profiles of socialist regimes, it was sustained by restricting the whereabouts, movement, communication, discussions and personal interests of it's members residing in Jonestown. After all, there is a cult mentality cultivated in a totalitarian state. And the tenets of totalitarianism is sometimes what is cultivating the cult mentality. In a sense, they are bedfellows. This is how I summarize what Jim Jones perpetrated. And that crime serves as an example of how 'sheepish' followers can be convinced by authority to not only hate others, but to take their own lives, in objection to those people and things they hate. The story of Jonestown and it's false prophet does reveal some thought-provoking similarities to some of the words and action by the current U.S. government, and the chief political figureheads of the rest of the world. One of which may be tied to my suspicion that socialism, not democracy, is experiencing a revival in several governments of the world who are looking to secure their power by imposing more control. When I heard the documentary speak of Jones' "White Knight" loudspeaker announcements to residents, for emergency meetings during the night, I was reminded of the current trends in national emergency declarations over everything from climate fears to viruses, and how this has people feeling. We have the same problem Jonestown residents did. How do we know the difference between a real emergency and a fabricated one, if we are being denied information, and access to some information is being blocked? People who are not fully informed are the most vulnerable. And as it was for Jim Jones, that ignorance was key to him maintaining power over his followers.
I believe they did a test run a few years ago(C-19) to see how people would react. We definitely got a taste of what governments can and will do when they deem it appropriate. Quite scary really.
When was this documentary made? There's not way it could have been recent. I'm guessing late 1990s/early 2000s.
Definitely not new, I’ve seen it crop up a bunch on RUclips over the years.
(Looked it up, it was made in 2007. Good eye!)
2007
One of the most awful things I have ever seen. Really frightening that people can be controlled in such a way. Frightening because it can happen again. And Jim Jones is not that much different from a lot of dangerous politicians.
It's happening.See MAGA
Why is it censored? 😡
YT requirement for unrestricted viewing. (I believe most have seen dead bodies while most don’t know the story of Jonestown. A compromise and acceptable one in our opinion.
@@FreeDocumentaryHistory I figured it was YT. Thanks for the upload!
Couldn't sensor it 1978. Evil is evil AND alive today. 2024
All these protesters could learn something from Jim Jones. They sure are drinking the Social Media Kool Aid. 😆
You ever consider that maybe YOU are drinking some sorta Kool aid as well
@@law1588 nope. 👎. I’m not that naïve nor misinformed.
@@baruchavraham1939 you certainly sound a lot like those same people
That Trump Kool-Aid... deadly
Your fear leads to anger. Your anger has lead you to hate and that ultimately will lead to suffering. It’s only a matter of time. We see it all around. Did you ever consider yourself the same side of the coin 🪙. You need to let go of all you fear to lose. I see both sides of that coin but have not let hate consume me. I just muse at how simple minded so many have become.
This is NOT a documentary; it's a cheap drama with terrible acting. Lolz
Probably should’ve said docudrama instead.
This was unbelievable what Jim Jones did to his family and congressional community. Just can sum this up as a paranoid schizophrenic leader. That had no way out except but kill his followers. It was really hard to watch this. But, I did. And to this day is one of the most horrific event in history. I’m sure it had to be hard putting this even together knowing the outcome.🥲
