36: Jonestown and Jackie Part II - The Wings of Deliverance

Peace and Resist Podcast

Part 2 of Jonestown and Jackie with KEDRO AND JOHAN. The early life of Jim Jones and his obsession with life and death. The social work that established him as a community leader and the rainbow Jones family - including when Jim and Marceline became the first White couple to adopt a Black child in Indiana. Jones moves his operation from Indiana to Ukiah and then on to San Francisco - where he develops real tentacles that reached deep into the SF political and cultural scenes. Elements of a cult keep popping up more and more. The Peoples Temple officially arrives. And it gets weird fast and only accelerates from there with a burning building, the New Year's Eve poison test - a precursor to the White Nights in Guyana, an article exposing everything, the phone call that pushes the Peoples Temple over the edge to South America, boxing match punishments, and much more. Brought to you by VotingInfoHQ.com / your unorthodox info hub for Dems. Thank you for listening and keep on resisting. (The 988 crisis helpline provided in the episode is US-based only.)
