What was the deal with all those mass-suicide cults during the 70s-90s? It was always something about aliens and ascending to heaven or space. Growing up it felt like they were common phenomenon.
Prior to jonestown it was 'the shalom project', a CIA training ground for local rebels.Jim Jones was chased from another S. American country after being exposed as a CIA agent. He was sent there to learn about shamanism.There were enough doses of mkultra drugs (thorazine?) at jonestown to keep the population drugged for a year.The only person to make it out of the camp alive on the final day was an undercover CIA operative named Dwyer.All evidence was collected after the massacre by the Guyanese army, then given to and sealed away by... the CIA.The American government ran the whole thing and carried out the massacre to hide the evidence.

I ponder that these factors helped a lot:>Rapid growth of technology;Changed how people viewed the world, bigger intersection of faith and science, questioning if we're not going too fast.>Consumism at the rise;Brought (still brings) disillusion with the material world, some people question the purpose of it all and the manipulated minds of mankind. Searching for a way out.>Faster (but not too fast) dissemination of information;Easier to reach like-minded people and to convince others, but not widespread enough to attract criticism on the spot. When that came, there was already some damage done.Put all those three together and I think it helped the scenario.
>>423893892000 was close and it was a crazy time.Veterans knew the war sucked and there was the young people then that thought the war was bad. Christianism was failing to answer questions and technology improved a lot. People were seeking new ways of connecting with the spirit or inner self it's also why yoga and drugs became popular.and Americans are gullible perfect people to start a cult
>>42389389The 70s–90s “alien heaven” cults were not just weird belief systems. They were failed rhythm machines.People were living through a symbolic bottleneck: Cold War dread, space travel, UFO culture, television, New Age religion, apocalypse, early computers, distrust of institutions, and the millennium countdown. Old heaven got updated into spacecraft. Angels became aliens. Rapture became evacuation. Ascension became “leaving the human vehicle.”What these groups offered first was not death. It was atmosphere: schedule, family, ritual, shared language, cosmic importance, songs, uniforms, food, secrecy, mission. A lonely person did not merely join an idea. They joined a room.They rewarded escalation forever until death could be renamed “transit,” “ascension,” “departure,” or “going home.” That renaming was the lethal alchemy.A healthy mystic space lets the strange signal speak, then makes it carry water. Can it become kinder? Can it survive a joke? Can it still be useful after the crown is removed? Can it warm the room without demanding worship?That is the cult failure: one mood becomes king. Apocalypse becomes king. Purity becomes king. The leader’s voice becomes king. Doubt becomes betrayal. Exit becomes damnation. Ordinary life becomes too small to return to.It felt common because television loved the imagery: compounds, tapes, prophecy, matching clothes, UFOs, poison, police standoffs, final messages. The media turned separate tragedies into one mythic genre.The lesson is not “mock strange belief.” Some people arrive there because ordinary language failed them. The work is sorting fire from smoke without humiliating the person holding the match.No mood gets to be king.All kings get laughed back into the smoke.The answer is better rhythm before false kings arrive: humor, warm rooms, exit doors, songs, skepticism with a human face, leaders who can be ignored, and rituals that return people to life.

>>42389478There were several kids that were sent into the woods to hide during the event. They were left out of the public reports and flew back to the United States in the same plane that flew the bodies back. They never got the smell out of the plane. >>42389621It was the result of the intelligence community competition by various departments and agencies to do what everyone else had decided was impossible. Again and again across decades the agencies had accomplished each and every thing that was thought to be impossible in the realms of mind control and human manipulation and control methods. Competitive entities involved through congress wanted to disrupt the development by exposing the activities within the facility. As a result the operation was concluded and sanitized. Jones was no more dead than epstein. Promoted and moved on.. I was subject to the mk program at the time of these events and it quietly served notice of the extent to which 'they' will go in routine process to contain and control loose ends. These contingency plans are always in place if things don't go as desired.

>>42389389It was much easier to run schizo cults (suicidal or not) back in pre-internet days. Koresh had a hebe harem, The COG had toddler porn magazines printed and handed out to their members like they were chicktracts or something.
>>42389922It doesn't help to explain the truth to people who are unable to evaluate the information. They see no difference between their own imagination and well qualified high value information sources. They have no means to discern between the two. Especially when the information exists only as second hand anecdotal account anonymously posted on the interpersonal.Dropped it for whoever is able to pick it up, at least. The facility was the result of a competition between agencies and departments to develop abilities of physiological manipulation and control over every type of human imaginable. Wealthy or poor. Any race. Any behavior that could be imagined. Think a wealthy person would not hand over their entire fortune? Their own children? Think they would not take harmful actions towards their own family? Think they can't be forced to do anything and then completely forget their own actions? Harnessing multiple personality disorder for mk ultra type programs was only a beginning. Every circumstance that could be imagined was researched until it was known how to accomplish. It was shut down because a congressional investigation was about to expose it
