The Jonestowning of America (activist, FBI, radical, FBI)

[Absolom]

Jonestown is much more relevant to what is going on in America now than the current revisionist history of Jamestown embraced by the radicals. And there is no more obvious barometer for the lost reckoning than the plaque which lists Jones as one of the victims of a tragedy, instead of a mass murderer. Calling the socialist massacre a tragedy suggests that Jonestown, like the USSR, was a noble cause that failed.

Talk to lefties of a certain age about Jonestown and they’ll mumble about CIA mind control experiments and FBI COINTELPRO operations against activists who wanted to bring about social change. The mass grave in Oakland, like the mass graves in Cambodia, the USSR, and Communist China, are uncomfortable realities. And while mainstream media narratives don’t go that far, they erase what Jones stood for.

An apt likening.

There's a definite Jonestown vibe to a portion of America currently.

But it has nothing to do with "the left."

I don't know what age you were talking about but those of us who were the age of when it happened thought Jim Jones was a nut job cult preacher. There have been a few of those that have come down the pike through the years.
