- In 1976, about 50 of Jones' followers left California to help him build his "utopia" vision deep in the jungles of the South American country.

TRUTH AND LIES: JONESTOWN, PARADISE LOST
That song though. “Father loves us, every one.” By that time religion had already been abandoned, so they’re singing about Jim Jones. It’s disturbing.
We’re a happy family yes we are, all in all we sing a song, father loves us everyone, we’re a happy family yes we are!! Do you know what they should put at the end of that song? they should go “Aww Jim Jones!!.”
Jim Jones practically used People's Temple often it seem to have "Who can I "bang" next today or tonight?" while spouting "The rest of you bitches, any sex I cut your balls off!" I notice with "religious" and "cults" organisations the "leader" himself often forbid sexual intercouse between followers yet he is a sex maniac. 😂😂
Jim Jones said they're not going to round us up like they did the Japanese and if you look at the whole scenario that's exactly what Jim Jones did to the people, he rounded them up in Jonestown and held them prisoner.
He created his own concentration camp.
I saw this documentary on TV, since it was so interesting I came here to rewatch. Sadly the documentary is cut and part 6 (which was the most shocking) was omitted. Please ABC do something about this. Anyone feel me?
I was looking for it also. I saw it on tv and wanted to re-watch it.
BBC 1 has done an excellent documentary on this with actual footage.
@@HeyJoeAlvarez you're a legend!!! Thank you!!!
@@mia-tk2xt Yeah I had to see it also, it's so good!
Part 6 on their webstie
Link the series up... Trying to find part 6 etc is like finding a needle in a haystack
I'm pretty sure they do this purposefully to make you go to their website to watch the rest.
Right ???
Heather Dobbs you have to watch the entire piece on the website... they made us watch all this just to have to visit the website.
Screw ABC, this thing was half baked anyway. I already knew the story. I was just watching this for the 40 anniversary of Jonestown. There are many details they left out. Like Jim Jones being elected to the SF city council. And he was going to buy some land in Brasil first, but that deal fell through. Guyana was his second choice. Search TH-cam, I'm sure there are much better videos on here about this subject.
Dee Lovee the struggle is real for me atm, off to the WWW. Yay
I find this tragic story much more fascinating to read about than 911.
Braighdan Silas Absolutely.
Joe Martin U ARE SICK
SKOOBY LOVE I said read about you DUMB FUCK!
@Black Belt Jones LOL tell em sister.
@@skoobylove1971 no, you are the sick one
Those poor innocent children. Precious innocent babies.
Yup
Yeah it's sad to think about it. All the new generations they could've had gone just like that. The baby's who never had a chance to live and the minors aswell with the majority of them scared to death. I cant even imagine that. Its sickening
Yes they were I blame there parents
Their parents made them force to drink the Kool-Aid.
"I dont even believe in heaven"
That line said ALOTTTTTT
Crazy to think that almost all the people in the footage are dead
I remember looking at the Mother Jones magazine, purple bodies all over. Amazed how one man can do this and what kind of person would follow such a man. Felt deep sadness for the people that died. Believe I still have the magazine.
Dont call him a con man...thats an insult to con men everywhere. He's a murderer.
Jim Jones is indeed a con man that used Christianity to lure people to be Communist and end up prisoners in a gulag jungle.
I’m kinda obsessed wit watching his documentaries lol this whole story is just sad n crazy smh 🤦🏽♀️
You should check out the song "Jim Jones" by the band Skynd the music video and song are truly haunting. Also Stephanie Harlowe has a really in depth video series on Jim Jones and the People's Temple. She really goes into detail and Bailey Sarian also does a video that goes over Jim Jones as well.
“I don’t even believe in heaven”
Follows cult leader..
🤔😂
Isaac Fox
2:41 yeah....how about that.
Womans insane.
epic fail..
Swear to god I came to comments to post the same thing hahaha.
This makes me cry when they sing about being happy. I saw two documentaries about this and how they died and what happened. It breaks your heart that someone who was badly addicted on drugs at the end of it was so messed up and didn't want to give up his power did it in the worse way.
Well' it's too late now for those idiots. I only feel bad for the children..they were murdered by a bunch of homicidal nutt jobs! I hope they're roasting in hell for what they did to those poor babies 😢
Watched all parts only to find out half a job , I was getting into this!
"I dont even believe in heaven"...goes and belongs to a church that believes and taught about heaven.
I understand what you're saying, but I think she was a little misinterpreted. In a previous documentary (The life and death of people's temple) she says she used to believe Jonestown was heaven on earth and that after the incident she can't believe in heaven anymore. So now, because of Jonestown, she doesn't believe in heaven. She did while she was there.
That is called being brainwashed
They were led by a "progressive" (Marxist) atheist.
She was obviously searching for something else and she got it.
Jones taught that there was no God or heaven, and that they needed to build 'heaven on earth.' That's what Jonestown was supposed to be. They were an attempt at an atheist, Marxist utopia.
i woke up to them singing in the church with goosebumbs
Pretty lame to split this up so it's nearly impossible to see all the segments on TH-cam
Just by listening to him, they couldn't tell he was crazy? Proof that they were not reading the Bible for themselves.
All these preachers sound like that. Prosperity preachers are the worst of them. It's all about praying just for your own financial benefit.
@@dblazeist They weren't' reading the Bible at all. Jones would stomp on them on stage and call them the book of oppression. They were anti-Christianity and anti-Bible, and Jones preached atheism.
When they talked about how happy they were It seemed so damn forced.He was literally driving them to their tragedies. Rip to the Victims.
Kyky Smith I think they were happy until Jones arrived at Jonestown and then everything went downhill after that.
Part 6 pleaseee 🙇♂️🙇♂️🙇♂️
Thanks for the upload and the link.
I’m not gonna lie, Jim Jones was a very good speaker. I could see why people can get drawn to him.
@Dr. Robert Neville stealing
He was charismatic and a fiery speaker. I guess people were blinded by faith or socialism to go along with whatever he said.
Simple he used God, Jesus, Civil Rights, Black people, Maxism, Communism and Revolutionary Suicide to bring people to his temple of doom.
“I don’t believe in Heaven” wow
Awesome video, thanks for adding it!
How and why the hell would anyone still call this maniac dad?
SUGAR XYLER It's hard to believe it now but back in those days this country was going through some maniac times!
Yeah, by doing that they are humanizing a monster but I guess they don't know what else to call him.
The same way they call tRump President.
Yea that dudes pretty messed up himself lol
His son has said in interviews that he never mourned his fathers death and was disgusted by him. Calling him father is forgivable
Jonestown was allowed by Burnhman to place a buffer-zone between Venezuela because of our territorial claim of Essequibo region. Jonewstown was located only 46 kms from the facto-limit.
Jim Jones was running a 'state' within a state. Venezuela wouldn't risk at the time a border incursion that put a large number of American lives at risk. Hence, why the Guyanese authorities were happy to leave Jim Jones alone to rule as he pleased his mini kingdom in the jungle.
Absolutely horrific..
There’s another reason why Jones chose Guyana, particularly the jungle that was called Jonestown: it wasn’t even a real place, it was separated from human agricultural living. The nearest town was several minutes away by car. It was a jungle and they carved a little village out of it. Whatever resources they had, they brought with them from America. Jones was super paranoid and wanted to escape the government and did not want to face the backlash, controversies and the press, so he left and went off the grid. To this day, I believe, if one were to go to Jonestown to pay their respects, they could. But it’s almost unrecognizable. The buildings and whatever else were buried by the overfrowing jungle and there are extremely few landmarks.
Also because it was a crookish government. Money talks
This is soooo scary and sad 😔
The prof is in the pudding, sadly, they put their faith in an unstable maniac with no checks and balances, and he showed his true nature
And these Trump followers would happily give him ( the unstable genius) power with no checks and balances.
Part 6?
Very sad
These first 5 parts are only half of the entire documentary. Watch the whole this on the abc website
Braighdan Silas I watched the entire thing on abc.com I used the abc-GO app. Just log in with your cable browser and search for “Jonestown” and there ya go 👍🏾
Thanks!
So one lady says how she felt she was in heaven bc of the gardens and all the fruit and food. Very next segment is saying they didnt grow any food. It all had labels on it from other places. Lol so which is it?
She was talking about the labels on the bananas. Crops were worked from dawn to dusk.
The first one because I remember this like yesterday
Everything that they produced, be chickens, eggs, vegetables or fruits got sold down river, including their sheets. They didn't have anything. So he literally brought food in to feed them (mostly rice.) every month which was costing him a lot of money and that's why he was pissed when they bitched about what they got to eat. While he got too eat the good stuff (Streak's, pork chops, chicken and so on. Claiming that he 'needed' it cause he was 'sick' so no one questioned it, including catsup and jello) the higher up's (guards, nurses, doctor, his bitches and his kids plus anyone else who did his bidding). All his 'over see'ers' got good food while everyone else starved. If you listen to him in some of his tapes, you will hear him chewing on ice. No one else had ice, only him.
On one of the tapes I heard someone complaining about the food they had to eat and he (jones) belittled the man, claiming he was eating the same thing, which he wasn't. His food was prepared before anyone else's and he ate in his cabin. The little old lady that survived said he ate better than anyone else. (She had a cabin across from his so she could see what was going on and Jones daughter would bring her over the extras that no one ate, (such as jellos, fruits and meat on occasions.) Read her book, it' really tells hows some things from another point of view went.
Are you related to Jim Cobb?
@@tarialorehand That's interesting and not surprising. Jones had everyone enslaved and they were too blind to realize it. If he hadn't killed the Congressman, it would've continued for much longer.
They looked starved
People use fear to control people.
this happen right in my country and i didn't know
@5:30 a perfect picture/video of where he is now....almost chilling...
Part 6???
Oh wow bananas and radishes like wtf? No thanks, give me an order of French fries from McDonald's. Fuck that shit.
Wow
Damn! I was born the month before. My mum told me that no one knew about Jonestown in Guyana
YOU A MFKN LIE!! AND YOU ARE SICK IN THE HEAD, BOY!!!
Where is part 6??
Guyanese sad i was just 2 years old
There were so many red flags in his preaching prior to Jonestown i can't even begin! It's really sad the parents didn't see these and put their children and babies in such danger. What the innocent babies and children went through ingesting that poison it tears me up! They would have been forcefully pulled away from their mothers, i'm sure most of the parents didn't want this when it came to real suicide. Imagine being forced to see your children murdered in front of you and you can't do anything to stop it! This was not a mass suicide it was a mass murder!
How can you call this killer Dad... I’d say I don’t have a dad..nope, if his name was Jim Jones.
Don’t paint with a broad brush. You are just like me. I hated the name Yvonne so much
So I was in your shoes. Because much. Because of a lady on beyond scared straight. I didn’t even want to say that name so I hated it, but not all people with the name Yvonne are bad people. The same with Jim Jones.What if you met a person and their first name was Jim and their last name is Jones, and you said that they were a mass murderer
They would be hurt because you called that person a mass murderer just because that person’s name was Jim Jones. There’s even a rapper that I like and his name is Jim Jones. So even if you had a dad and his name is Jim Jones, don’t put that other person named Jim Jones in the same bucket with the false prophet
I need to not rip my grandparents apart... I need to not rip my grandparents apart...
Jerry Parks passed away last year.😢
If you follow the wrong person, you'll have a terrible ruin ahead of you.Because people have weak parts, they are attracted by those who seem to have strong attraction.
But that person may just only be crazy.
Madness is a devil who destroys everyone.
Maybe it looks like a beautiful angel.
This is reflected in the eyes of people who are confused.
Block buster's fo real
He used there oppression against them
Stephen Jones and his other children was not working from sunrise to sundown so it was the happiest time of his life
PINK IGNORANCE AND NEGATIVITY
Jim Jones didn't study the bible, he studied Animal Farm.
24 hours over the ocean, 9 hours down a river, 2 hours on a flatbed truck and then.....you're really f*ckin' trapped with this maniac. Congratulations, Darwin Award winners.
R.i.p all the people who was murdered
"Seek you THE LORD while HE may be found."
What I find peculiar is that Jones' lieutenants mostly seem to have survived. It wouldn't ordinarily be odd because they were the only ones allowed out of the concentration camp, except they all knew that Ryan was going to be there. For them to all suddenly have basketball games to attend or heading to town to do shopping on such an important day is very odd. It's like they knew...
I don't think anyone knew for sure that the Congressman would take some members, get killed, and that would lead to mass suicide/murder. He had the poison read, and killing the Congressman would've ended Jim Jones and Jonestown, so that became the time to end it on his own rather than be taken prisoner.
I think Jones' wife had something to do with the boys being at the basketball game... she insisted that they go when Jones himself wanted them to stay.
how did some of these ppl from "jonestown" survived?
Wheres part six of this🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔
The rest of these videos are on the abc news website btw
They’re also on Hulu apparently
no part 6????
Jim Jones: “nmm, nm, nmm”
Isaiah 53:5, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed.For salvation, people just need to follow the way they did it in Acts? They were baptized in the water and of the spirit. Here's why! The gospel is the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. If we are to follow him, we must do the same thing. Death= repentance, Burial = baptism, and resurrection = being filled with the Holy Ghost and rising again from the dead. That's what Acts 2:38 is.We must obey the gospel, 2 Thessalonians 1:8-9, in flaming fire taking vengeance on them that know not God, and that OBEY NOT THE GOSPEL of our Lord Jesus Christ... Matthew 7:21-23, Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that DOETH THE WILL OF MY FATHER which is in Heaven. St John 3:3-5, EXCEPT a man be born of WATER AND OF THE SPIRIT, he cannot enter into the kingdom of GOD.We can't come up with our own gospel. Galatians 1:8-9, But though we or an angel from heaven preach any other gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed. Don't be cursed. One way for all people. Jews, Gentiles, and Samaritan. Our salvation has to match-up with the scriptures and no scriptures on the subject can be taken away.Eternity is TOOO long to be WRONG! st, John 5:39, Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me.God told Noah exactly how to be saved, how he must build the ark. Noah didn't come up with his own plan like people are doing today. A sinner's prayer, you just have to believe, etc which is not in the bible.The gospels show what Christ has done on the cross for us. The book of Acts shows us the beginning of Christ's Church and how to enter the Church, obeying Acts 2:38. The letters were written to the Church to show us how to behave now that we are born again into the Church.It's better to walk alone than to walk with a crowd going in the wrong direction. Are we supposed to follow the teachings of the apostles? Acts 2:42, They continued steadfastly in the apostle's doctrines. Ephesians 2:20, We are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone. If you believe in this message, help spread it in the name of Jesus Christ. God bless you!
I remember this well I was 19 years old it was horrible mass suicide maybe the first well know one
I remember it too it was all over the news in the UK never seen anything like it
The house of yahweh is the same way here in abilene texas
If these people didn't believe in the God
of Creation, then why in Hell were they
Following Rev. Jim Jones?
Im from Guyana.
Boo ABC where is part 6???
There were Americans in Guyana during that time...?
It could happen again at the highest level don't you think? Because we can see what's happening and we don't believe it. Don't We?
3:25 BAAAANAANNNNAS
Im crying 😂
i wonder who was preaching on sunday in usa? and filming people asking if they want go back is odd..also odd is how friendly he appears on video., to people who know him wuld fall for it....
They built their own gulag to be trapped in.
His sons knew the wrong things he was doing and said nothing. How can they live with themselves?
you have to remember that they were terrified
His son was part of the inner circle.
His son was just as much of a victim as his followers.
Organized religion is big business especially in America and the problem I have is religion causes mental health care issues. No one should be allowed to study religion until they are 70 years old even that's to soon.
Weird flex on a video about a Communist atheist and his followers who specifically rejected God and religion.
I find a church home and when people start to worship the ministers or pastors more then the word of God. I am out!
Sad thing is i can see the attraction they had, i would have been sucked in too. Now, after the first “poisoning” test he did i prob would have been out. But the idea of their commune is very attractive and it could have been such a beautiful thing.
They couldn't leave. It was a prison.
@4:05 you're still calling this guy dad? Yeesh
They all had to call him dad. They had to call him dad or else they would have to face the consequences. But my question is why wasn’t this exposed before the mass murder? Why didn’t he have to face the music before then? Because if this scam artist was exposed before hand, there wouldn’t of been a mass murderer, and 913 people wouldn’t have died.

In South America, tropical soil is not meant for farming. Whatever fruit is produced in Guyana, let be so. Other foreign fruits and vegetables on tropical soil would fail to produce the following year.
I think I remember reading that they kind of ignored advice given by locals who were familiar with farming the land there.
Amish and Mennonites manage to farm parts of the Amazon, but I imagine they research the methods a little by getting advice from other farmers.
@@user-od5fh3gn4d Still tropical soil is not good for farming.
Lol he said it never gets hot there. Who would ever believe that? Shit, it’s hotter there than it is in Texas during the summertime. Which gets to 115 degrees plus humidity... Some very naive people to have believed this man. If only they used common sense. They’d still be alive.
“If only they used common sense”…..something tells me you don’t know how brainwashing and mind control work.

Can anyone guide me to part 6?
Marianne Birge if you download the ABC news app, you can search “Jonestown” from the menu. Sadly, pt 7 is missing, but you can find pt 6-11.
you have to download their app more crap on your device.
Only if you join my church.
Nobody knew what was going on? Listen to Ween's song Bananas & Blow and that will give you a hint. 🍌💨
John said you don't know what you've missing down here 🤣. I wonder would anyone still believe it even now aday with fb and twitter ....
The irony of Jonestown is that Jimbo Jones was spouting phrases of "freedom" and "liberation" when, even at the time, you only had at the forest from the trees and really ask yourself "A settlement, miles from any major town in the middle of no where! This sure in hell doesn't feel or look like "freedom." This is a prison camp without the barbed wire." The jungle was the barbed wire.
Also, socialism never works in practical terms. We are all different individuals, sizes, physicality, sex, abilities, and opinions, we are all going to have different requirements in terms of nutrients, e.g., 65 year old going to have a very different daily intake to a 25 year old, hence the imbalance of the food supply as Jonestown population grew. The settlement was only meant to accommodate 500 people. The population nearly doubled in reality, meaning there was never going to be a sharing of available resources, but as most socialists demonstrate ignore practical problems for "How can I keep this shitty project going or alive? Without looking like a fraud?"
How did Sandra Khol escape the kool aide? Never here her say anything and she was in the inner circle
Many members were either in the US, or in Georgetown, Guyana at the time. I don't think it was planned ahead of time, so that's why nobody outside Jonestown committed suicide.
@@David_R922 that's not true. There were others who told to commit suicide outside of the commune and did. Not all, but definitely some.
@@namabest1 Outside of Jonestown, I think only 1 woman killed herself and her 3 kids.
There are many examples of how absolute power corrupts absolutely. Predators disguise themselves as protectors all the time. Did you know, Hitler wrote a play while he was in jail? He convinced people to blindly follow along to the tune of the toot of his horn into trouble. To violate fellow humans! There's a difference between learning from others and following their examples! He duped his followers, like Charles Manson on his ranch, or Jim Jones in Guyana, and Putin in Russia! I'll tell you now what I taught my own to maintain their autonomy. Be wise with how you allow others to influence you. Always follow your own conscience!
He made it complete blast from the beginning so people would talk about it in this light as it was the best time is it their lives. Sad because he chose the people of course that would say these types of things in hindsight as well. Yikes.
No like he ruined her belief now :(
That Black Guy is Jones’s Son!!?

Why they all suicide at last??

Not all committed suicide, all children were killed, some adults were injected or shot
it wasn't suicide they were murdered
