I've got a Conspiracy book at home, and it had three views on Jones:

1. He was a C.I.A agent and, to reasons largely unknown to others, initiated the massacre at Jonestown and escaped, helped by fellow C.I.A colleagues.

2. He was a Monarch slave and, either due to faulty mental 'programming' or an initated 'death sequence', went insane/paranoid and ordered the massacre at Jonestown, dying with his cultists.

3. He was a leader of a cult in South America and, due to the pressure of running the cult and other factors, went insane and ordered the massacre to be carried out.

Anyway that's just my 2 cents.

I agree with the theory that he was either an agent, or patsy for the CIA.

Food for thought

I'm pretty much on-board with this idea.

I've read it was a test ground for the CIA dealing with mind control, but I think he suffered from paranoia and it was made worse by all the drugs he used.

I remember seeing this on the news when I was a little girl and not understanding how so many could willingly go to their death. I watched the shows last night on the history channel and still don't get it.

Total tragedy.

I know it means absolutely nothing, but my girlfriends ex-husband is named "Jim Jones" and he is just the weirdest psycho I've ever met.
Maybe it's just the name, call your kid Jim Jones and he'll turn psycho.

I know, this was no help at all, but it's true.

yeah it had to be some cia testing ground.but on the other hand he could of been mental.what drugs were giving to his people?
