1. Stop me if you heard this one before. There once was a man who used religion to advance his Marxism/communism. He started a church and preached "Apostlic socialism".

2. He used the gospel to fund his socialism. He used racial tensions to further his power.
3. He dreamed of a new socialist Eden/Utopia on Earth.

4. Some believe he created fake/hoax hate crimes to gain sympathy with the community.

5. He was made a director of a human rights commission for a large American city.
6. He preached about the evils of America. He stated that "If you are born in capitalist America, racist America, fascist America, you are born in sin but if you are born in socialism you are not born in sin"
7. His first church was failing so he moved to another American city. In that city he again worked his way into the power circle of the Democrat local government.
8. His subterfuge with religion couldn't withstand for long and he started to openly preach Marxism and call Christianity "a fly away religion" and the Bible "a tool to oppress women and non-whites.
9. His wife admitted to the NYT that he was trying to promote Marxism in the USA via a religion and his inspiration for this was Mao. He stated their is no heaven up there. We'll have to make heaven down here." (The siren call for Marxists for 100+ years)
10. The move to the new city which was a center of resistance was a good move for him. His refounded Marxist "church" gained many followers and influence within the local, state and national political circles. He was given a major appointment as chairmen of housing authority....
11. His influence grew to the point where he met with the governor of the state, a VP candidate who would become the VP as well as the FLOTUS several times. His ideas where embraced in the Dem party.

12. He sought to form a stronger relationship with the nation of Islam.
13. He cultivated relationships with the other like minded people in the press. However, the media wasn't fully socialist yet so some had ethics and tried to point out the sexually, physical, and emotional abuse that was going on within this socialist Utopia.
14. That bad press he got was his main reason he decided he needed to move again and set up shop somewhere else. (It's the curse of Marxists to have to move or change their names often since their Utopia always falls short of the promise.)
15. He moved to his new home in South America. He dubbed it a "socialist paradise" (I guess the name Utopia was out of favor at the time). He modeled it after the other great "socialist paradises" the USSR and Cuba and like them once you checked in you weren't allowed to leave.
16. Like every other "socialist paradise" it began to fail from within as people defected and sought to get others out of the safe space/hell they themselves helped create. The die was cast.
17. In an ironic twist some of the same government forces that had embraced him saw the writting on the wall and quickly turned against him. (Evil always destroys itself, it's the nature of evil) those government members put increasing pressure on him and his followers.
18. Like all socialist's dreams his were increasingly being hit upside the head with a reality 2x4. Also like most socialists, he couldn't admit his entire philosophy was a failure. He sought escape and tried to shift blame. He blamed the Intel agencies.
19. All of his fevered socialist dreams came crashing down as reality finally made it's presence known. This time it was a "fact finding mission" by a us congressman that started reality hammering strongly on the Utopian bubble.
20. Let's just say the visit didn't go well for him nor the congressman. The congressman was killed along with 4 others. And the socialist knew the end was here. Did he repent and ask for forgiveness like a good preacher would? Nope. He acted like the Marxist he was.
21. He gathered his followers mixed a drink of grade flavor-aid in with cyanide and with armed men nearby 909 people drank the mixture, 304 of them children, committing an act of "revolutionary suicide" the way as he put it socialists and communists die with dignity.
22. The phrase "don't drink the kool-aid" became a part of American culture when discussing people believing strange or kooky ideas. Somehow the fact that the strange and kooky ideas were socialism and communism got left out of the saying. 🤔🤔
23. If u haven't guessed by now. The man was Jim Jones, the Utopia was called the People's Temple, the FLOTUS was Rosalynn Carter, the VP was Mondale, the gov/local pols were Jerry brown, wille brown, Harvey milk among others. The 2nd City was San Francisco. 1st was Indianapolis.
