MONDAY, NOVEMBER 13: “An unbelievable story." I remember thinking, this is crazy. It couldn’t be. I was going to die in the middle of the jungle of Guyana, far away from my family and friends. We were in the process of boarding two small planes at Port Kaituma’s jungle landing strip, nearing the end of a curious story about a Congress­ man who wanted to investigate a freaky religious commune in Guyana. Suddenly the story was no longer zany. Three men on a dump truck and tractor approached our aircraft and began shooting. I went down. The bodies of other passengers started rolling over me as the shooting intensified. The shots were louder—and closer. I could feel dirt spraying over me but I didn’t hear anyone screaming or moaning. Just the pop-pop-pop of the bullets. I lay behind one of the wheels of the plane, hoping they would think I was dead. I knew then I was in the wrong place because they had come around to my side of the plane. Suddenly, my left hip burned. I felt a part of a tooth chip, and I knew I had been hit. I was 1 2 GUYANA MASSACRE helpless. I thought that I wanted to be home. I was waiting to die and, as the seconds went by, I became resigned. O.K., I was ready. Then the shots seemed to come from further away. I don’t know how long the assault lasted— maybe five minutes. I finally got up and it was clear that the expedition led by Congressman LeoJ.'Ryan of California to the Peoples Temple commune at Jonestown in the Guyana jungle had ended in tragedy. It would escalate in the next few hours and become one of the most bizarre and awful massa­ cres of our time. When it was over, more than 900 Jonestown people would be dead and rotting in the blistering heat of a tropical rain forest. They were babies and school kids, old men and women, most of them innocent Americans who had sought a Utopian society thousands of miles from the ghettoes, from the crime, the drugs, and the failure that had been their lot before. They had been led to Guyana by a messianic fundamentalist preacher whose faith­ healing, old-time religion and sophisticated Marxist philosophy attracted to him unlettered blacks, whites from the Okie migrations to California in the 1930s, and cadres of alienated young people—black and white—who despaired of creating in the United States the inter-racial socialist society they longed for. The preacher was Jim Jones, who was called "Father” by his flock; he had built a small religious order in Ukaiah, California, into an influential political institution that was to flower and be destroyed in the Guyana jungle. Whatever his messianic appeal, whatever his high-minded idealism, whatever his good worksand his effort to build God’s kingdom on earth, he will be remembered now as an insane and tragic man. He saw himself as a reincarnation of Christ and Lenin. In death, he more resembles Lucifer. I had never heard of Jim Jones until a few days before the holocaust and even then it was almost by Monday, November 13: 3 accident. It began in theTamanaco Intercontinental Hotel in Caracas. I was in Venezuela to cover the national elections as a correspondent for The Washington Post. I had been living in South America for eight months and it had been an exhausting time. There had been coups in Bolivia, elections in Peru and Ecuador, difficult dealings with dictatorships in Argentina, Chile, and Uruguay, and a curious interview with the survivors of an Andes air crash whose book, Alive, described their survival on the flesh of dead companions. There also had been the long days of boredom and frustration that mark the lives of all correspondents.

Promise. But I ran across this while rummaging through electronic files. I can't give you any information on how I came across it, but can tell you that I got access in the late 90s to number of FBI internal documents on the Davidian siege and aftermath. Time and logistical constraints allowed me only to take notes on much of what I saw. I took them copiously, often copying document contents verbatim onto my laptop. Among the sea of records I slogged through was an FBI Message sheet dated 3-28-93 discussing what to do in response to a letter from a lawyer who once represented Jim Jones. The letter, also in the records, warned that the FBI's tactics will lead to disaster. Here's what it said, w/ any of my notes placed in {} I just thought this would be of particular interest. I found it fascinating at the time I stumbled across it but never found the proper venue to write about it. Had I ever done a book on the Waco debacle, I would've definitely included it.

    Page 1 Jonestown: The Life and Death of Peoples Temple Program Transcript On-screen text: On November 18th, 1978, in Jonestown, Guyana, 909 members of Peoples Temple died in what has been called the largest mass suicide in modern history. Deborah Layton, Peoples Temple Member, Author, Seductive Poison: Nobody joins a cult. Nobody joins something they think is going to hurt them. You join a religious organization, you join a political movement, and you join with people that you really like. Jim Jones Jr., Peoples Temple Member: I think in everything that I tell you about Jim Jones, there is going to be a paradox. Having this vision to change the world, but having this whole undercurrent of dysfunction that was underneath that vision. Jim Jones (archival): Some people see a great deal of God in my body. They see Christ in me, a hope of glory. Hue Fortson Jr., Peoples Temple Member: He said, “If you see me as your friend, I’ll be your friend. As you see me as your father, I’ll be your father.” He said, “If you see me as your God, I’ll be your God.” Kristine Kravitz, Peoples Temple Member: Jim Jones talked about going to the Promised Land and then, pretty soon, we were seeing film footage of Jonestown. Jim Jones (archival): Rice, black-eyed peas, Kool-Aid. Kristine Kravitz, Peoples Temple Member: We all wanted to go. I wanted to go. Page 2 Grace Stoen, Peoples Temple Member: Peoples Temple truly had the potential to be something big and powerful and great, and yet for whatever reason, Jim took the other road.

She joined a religious organization in Indianapolis that seemed to be free from racism, with a mission to help the poor and the needy. The church, called the Peoples Temple, was led by a charismatic white man, Jim Jones. From 1956 to 1978, Reverend Jim Jones led the Peoples Temple congregation in Indianapolis, Indiana (1956-1965), then in Ukiah and San Francisco, California (1965-1977), and finally in Jonestown, Guyana (1977-1978). Thrash described the first time her sister, Zipporah, saw the Peoples Temple on television: “She came running in from the other room, shouting, ‘I’ve found my church!’ She saw the integrated choir on TV and Jim standing so handsome, and wanted to go.”1 Zipporah enticed Hyacinth to join her.
