Jonestown Death Tape

My evening is already well upon me, and I hope yet to get out this evening on a hike / grocery shopping expedition, so I cannot spend overlong on this post.

I never even sunned today ─ it was a bath day, so I gave the bath the priority.

What a loss last evening was. Yes, I sat up late in order to have two cans of the strong (8% alcohol) malt that I am almost without (I only have four cans remaining), and to watch some T.V. with my younger brother once he arrived home in the latter evening following his daily socializing.

But that latter activity ─ the shows I intended to watch with my brother ─ never happened. The drunken fool never showed up until something like 11:45 p.m., by which time I was already here in my bedroom at my computer which I keep here.

So upon hearing him enter the house, I shut my bedroom door and was soon enough to bed. I wanted nothing to do with him.

Due to how quickly I had consumed the beer, I probably rose little more than an hour later to use the bathroom, and I could see downstairs to the living room that he was passed out in his chair, the T.V. playing. I have no idea how late he remained there.

At least I did watch a few programmes on my own. For one, I finished watching an opera that had been uploaded to BitChute's Adaneth_Arts channel way back on October 18, 2019. It took me four sittings to get through the whole production, for it was over 2½ hours long (2:37:03): Aida | Metropolitan Opera House (1988).

To be perfectly honest, I only watched it to be able to say that I had. I of course had heard of the opera before, but I knew absolutely nothing about it. Heck, only now did I read the "backstory" giving the briefest outline of what it was about.

So I had no idea whatsoever was going on. Sure, I did recognize that it appeared to be taking place in an ancient Egypt capital city, and there was an act (the second of four?) that apparently involved the parading of a slew of Black captives, of which one of the two central female characters was evidently derived from.

I could also tell that a central male character was obviously romantically involved with her and the other woman.

However, even though they could all sing magnificently, I felt no attraction for any of them. Neither of the two women were delightfully fit young beauties ─ rather, they were both verging on portliness; and the Black woman ─ who I see now portrayed Aida, the princess of the captive people ─ was getting on in age.

And I have just referred to Wikipedia. The singer playing Aida was Aprile Millo who would have had her 30th birthday in 1988 when the opera apparently took place. Honestly, she did look older.

The other female singer was Dolora Zajick, who would have had her 36th birthday in 1988.

Both were fabulous singers ... but not what I look for in leading ladies. I felt no attraction to them; and as a result, the opera story as was being played out was of no import to me.

I suppose that if I had read the opera plot before watching it all, maybe that might have made some difference.

I was also to finish watching a 1½-hour (1:34:15) interview posted to YouTube back on June 24, 2021, featuring an exceptionally powerful and fit young woman I have come to appreciate very much ─ I wish that someone like her could have become part of my younger life: Dani Speegle Invictus Mindset Podcast | CrossFit Invictus.

Host Bryce Smith sits down with CrossFit Games athlete Dani Speegle to discuss the power of authenticity and the importance of being human. They peel back the layers of vulnerability and unpack the resilience Dani experienced in the face of adversity through overcoming challenging relationships, a major shoulder injury, and the COVID-19 pandemic. Throughout life's many challenges, Dani always expresses the utmost enthusiasm and through her training, lifestyle, and platforms truly inspires and empowers women to be unapologetically themselves. This is an episode you do not want to miss as Bryce sits down with Dani a few days before she takes on the West Coast Classic in Las Vegas to earn another trip to the CrossFit Games.

I remember watching her in The Titan Games episode that they bring up, but I had not heard of her at the time ─ maybe that was when I first started to become aware of the fabulous woman.

Anyway, I had begun watching the interview the previous day, I think, so I finished it up last evening.

I wish that I could have known that my brother was going to come home so damned late ─ I would have gone to bed earlier than I did and thereby have had a useful day today. This shopping hike later this evening would have been unnecessary.

Also, I have not felt all that hale today, and I have had absolutely no exercise, either.

This morning I did watch some T.V. with my brother, via our Android TV Box. We were only to watch two videos for he bowed out at 11:20 a.m. to seek bed rest ─ he cannot seem to get away fast or early enough these days to get immersed into his daily 'socializing'.

I am not expecting him home until well into the latter half of the evening, so I believe myself well able to delay my walk until towards 9:30 p.m. when it will have become comfortably dark enough for me ─ I hate being abroad in the light of day when the world is so damned busy, even on a Sunday.

The first video I tuned in this morning was uploaded to Rumble's Vaccine Choice Canada channel yesterday, and exceeded an hour (1:05:28): ENG SUBTITLES Polly Tommey Sharing the Truth About Vaccine Injury.

Polly Tommey is the producer of the groundbreaking films Vaxxed: From Cover-Up to Catastrophe and Vaxxed II: The People’s Truth.
The story of her vaccine injured son Billy is featured in the film Vaxxed. She founded the Autism Trust in both the UK and USA, and is the director of programming at the Children’s Health Defenses’s CHD-TV. Polly has committed her life to sharing the truth about vaccine injury.

It was a very interesting interview ─ I know of Polly, but I did not know her background.

I had previously downloaded the second video (44½ minutes) to a flash or thumb drive, originally getting it from a July 4, 2020, addition to BitChute's bluedemon218 channel: Jonestown Death Tape (FBI No. Q042).

A 44-minute cassette tape, known as the "death tape" records part of the meeting Jones called inside the pavilion in the early evening of November 18, 1978. When the assembly gathered, referring to the Ryan delegation's air travel back to Georgetown, Jones told the gathering:

"One of those people on that plane is gonna shoot the pilot, I know that. I didn't plan it but I know it's gonna happen. They're gonna shoot that pilot and down comes the plane into the jungle and we had better not have any of our children left when it's over, because they'll parachute in here on us.:

"On the tape, Jones urged Temple members to commit "revolutionary suicide".[159] Such an act had been planned by the Temple before and, according to Jonestown defectors, its theory was "you can go down in history, saying you chose your own way to go, and it is your commitment to refuse capitalism and in support of socialism" - Jim Jones

Three high-ranking Temple survivors claimed they were given an assignment and thereby escaped death. Tim Carter and his brother Mike, aged 30 and 20, and Mike Prokes, 31, were given luggage containing $550,000 in U.S. currency, $130,000 in Guyanese currency, and an envelope, which they were told to deliver to the Soviet embassy in Georgetown.[170] The envelope contained two passports and three instructional letters, the first of which was to Timofeyev, stating:

"Dear Comrade Timofeyev, The following is a letter of instructions regarding all of our assets that we want to leave to the Communist Party of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics. Enclosed in this letter are letters which instruct the banks to send the cashiers checks to you. I am doing this on behalf of Peoples Temple because we, as communists, want our money to be of benefit for help to oppressed peoples all over the world, or in any way that your decision-making body sees fit." - 3 Survivors

I found the video to be fascinating, hearing how Jim Jones gradually talked his followers into killing themselves and their own children. I had always been of the understanding that he had armed men surrounding everyone and forcing them all under threat of death to kill themselves, but evidently that was not so.

At least one woman tried to argue against doing this, believing instead that escape was far preferable ─ or to just fight and live. I wish I knew how it was that she submitted. I suppose that she may even have been forcibly injected, if she was not one of the very few who escaped into the jungle.

I have to stop blogging for today ─ it is after 8:30 p.m., and I must begin readying for my outing that may well be a 5.625-mile round trip.
