Callouts to Jim are indicated by underline, double underline in text or by rows of asterisks and “please note” on left margin, flagging reactions (positive or negative, e.g. willingness to lead, hesitation about dying) by typist(s), working in shifts on same typewriter.

What I would do if there was a final white night
Helen Snell – I want to die a revolutionary death.
Luna Murell – I will do anything to keep one person free from the imperialist
I willl [will] use my life fighting for thr [the] freedom of all people.
Life is not worth living if you have to live under oppression.
Lucille Taylor – I don’t mind dying. I want to fight for this land and also die for it. I sure don’t want to go alone. I want to take some of the traitors with me as many as possible, tie a bomb on me and let me walk or run into them, or revoluntionary [revolutionary] suicide.
Gail Chakien [Chaikin] – I am willing to do any mission. including killing any traitor or myself. Grace Stoen said I was the favorite person she use to take care of, I would like to personally kill her. I could attach myself to a bomb. Burn myself in front of the US. [U.S.] Embassy could tell Maiser [Mazor] that I wanted to destroy the church, and ask for a meeting of all thoes [those] who have left the church, then kill them.
Tish Leroy – Age is against me, I know, could do more if I was younger, I have considered what I could do back in the states., or in another country. It would be easy to set up a big banquet of the most important officials;;; then kill them all. I would find a poison that would be immediate, but tasteless. I would luse [use] this on the mass of them. In the process I would kill myself, because I would eat it too. Then no one could trace who or what or why. No one would ever know, but the socialist would be left in a position to move in. Should I perhaps established connections, then they per chance might know I was a socialist, and block me. This would satisfy me, just knowing my children were fighting hard in the cause. If I am imprisioned [imprisoned] and would hold out as long as I could then I would dig into my juggler [jugular] vain or at the side of the neck where you bleed to death in two minutes. I would see that I had plenty of time to accomplish this so I would not be stopped before I started it. I would prefer on taking a batch out with me. I have also considered being a walking bomb. In S.F in the Federal Building I was always asking, ” Where are the tax forms please”

What I Would do if This Were the Last White Night
Tish Leroy (cont.) this way they never searched me. There are always ways in and I would get into a place or places and take a lot with me.
Jackie Rochelle – I will take orders if necessary and so [do] anything in my power to get all babies aside, then lay my life down to fight until the end, kill myself if it take place so as not to be left foar [for] the facists. I will not leave noone [no one] else either. I will kill them off, if they are not dead already.
Wanda King – I feel that we should let the world know we are communists. Alsoo [Also] let them know that Russia and Cuba are behind us. Next we should form a committee to plan and develope [develop] a program for guerilla war fare. We should plan to kill Tim Stoen, Mertles, Olivers, by bombing. Later we should move on to help other countries. The bombs will have to be bought or made in the U.S. It would take #3 people, to make three hits at the same time. I would like to be one of the three. The reason I feel I will not live so long is that the entire world is fighting for socialism and freedom. There will be no peace until we win. I would like to help spread socialism throughout the world.
Arron Hendricks [Aaron Hendricks] – I plan to die by fighting in a war agaist [against] the capitalist and getting shot by a machine gun.
Eric Baker – I am not afraid to die cause I have to die anyway. I would want to go down taking my enemies with me, killl [kill] as many as I can then kill myself, take care of thoes [those] who killed Cris [Chris Lewis], then kill myself.
Shabaka Baker – I would like to scare shit out of the enemies for months. If they try to leave the stare [state] or country I would be there right under their nose and then have one disappear one by one then go to the main one and kill him and kill me. I would desquis [disguise] myself as Lenin did.

What I would do if this was a final white night.
Geralding Bailey [Geraldine Bailey] – I have no fear of dying and no desire to live any longer thean [than] is necessary to help this cause.

Then I would shoot myself.
Elfredia [Elfreida] Kendall – I would like to be employeed [employed] in the house of one of these bastard enemies with a small handgun (with silencer) and as each one come into the door to attend their get together I let him have it, then shoot myself.

Some short stories, even poetry, to make money. Want to do more to give children the love they need. Want to plant rows of vegetables. I would like to plant– raise a kitten.
I am willing to die if this can’t be. If the future is to be denied to us or if it is necessary to save us, I’d be glad to give my life. If there is some way I can better serve dying then [than] by living please tell me, andI [and I] will go.
Cliff Gieg – I would like to go back to U.S. and get as many enemies as I can. And when I see myself about to get caught I will make my last successful assiasination [assassination] taking my life with the enemies.

Terry Carter – I would like to go to South Africa and fight in the struggle there, Icould [I could] kiss ass up to someone to kill them. Or I would very much like to go back and get some of our traitors. Particularly Tim S. Suzanne C or Grace. I realize this is more vengence [vengeance] and emotions on my part, but it will be they who took part in destroying what we might do for liberation if we are stopped.

And at different times. I would find all of their worst fears and do them in slowly so they canfeel [can feel] like our children feel at times doing white nights.

Doug Sanders – I could give the press negative statemenst [statements] about PT. Make sure I was easy to contact. Iam sure one of the traitors would contact me, I could meet with them afterknowing I have an alliance where they trust me even very slightly I could put explosives on my body and get them all in a meeting. They could have electrical interuption [interruption] (I could use a hard hat and other electircal [electrical] clothes and go check all the wires and circuit breakers in the block that they are in.

What I would do in the Last White Night.
Rita Lenin (cont.) come to use them on the enemy. I would like to take a lot of enemies with me. Iam willing to become a walking bomb and go to our enemies and blow them up. I would like to be trained and become part of a group like the Red Brigrade [Red Brigade]. This is what I would like to do with my life, and use any means needed to kill the bastards. You can shoot me as an example to the people that the enemies mean business, and perhaps this will shock them into the stock [stark] reality that this is serious busi iness [business] and the enemy is serious, perhaps they would get their heads together and realize that there is nothing in romance and the only they got going for them is the revolution. I would like to be trained to go to others countries and fight in their liberation struggles, or to the states and rid us of the oppressors there. Some of the sell outs of the people. I think teams should be trained to go out and futher [further] the work in all areas, if we get the opportunity. I would of course stand here and fight to the end, and if it happened that we would have to make a stand by revoluntionary [revolutionary] suicide I would do this too.
As Mary Lenin said to me one day, “Mom if I don’t make it one day and something should happen to me, then you go on and do what you must do for the revolution.[“] I said, “I will[.”] She said “Good[.]” If we were sent out on missions, maybe we could have strictnine [strychnine] pill on us, just in case something ahappens [happens] so fast one does not have time to kill them selves another way, then they would be sure of getting the job done before the enemy could stop them. One thing i n [in] my favor I can sit for hours and not say anything, and Iam so dam [damn] stubborn, than [that] I would die before I done what someone told me to do. My kids may have to die too, but God dam [damn] it they have to go some day, and at least they are living for the cause, and dying for it, so I am at peace, hurt it will but all of life is a pain, and this is our destiny to do what ever we can for the cause.
It does not [have] to be no big intrigue thing for me, just what ever will help the revolution. I do like the Red Brigrade [Brigade] tatics [tactics] however.

Responses to what one would do with their body for the Cause
Carol Dennis – Don’t know for sure what she should do if it were a final white night, don’t think anyone knows what they would do. I feel if it was a fight I would try hard to kill a fascist. If I saw problems with the children I feel strongly I would that I would kill them. Cause tortue [torture] scares me more then [than] taking a life. I will write a plan later on, as I have not thought of any. I feel strongly if the revolution depends on me it would be fucked as far as plans I am not a planer [planner] just a doer when the time comes.
Wanda Souder – I would like to be onn [on] the front line. To be on [one] of the first to kill the enemy. And if I were to be killed I wouldn’t die alone, if I was wounded and knew I could be of no more use I would like to be set up as a trap to catch and kill the enemy. A bomb would be nice so I could kill a whole bunch of the bastards. Iam not afraid to die if I were back in the States I wold have had no prupose [purpose] so anything_ it takes to be free and free our children I will do. The children are our futrue [future] without them we would die off sooner or later.
Carrie Langston – Want to live as long or long enough to get the enemies, Iam not bright enought [enough] to tell you haow [how] I would kill them, but I know I could do it. . I would try and kill as many as I could.
Bob Kice – I would give up my life to blow up the facist [fascist] elite, this would be worthwhile to me. I cannot forsee [foresee] living many more years, to die without taking as many as possible along with me would be a waste. I find more andmore [and more] how unappealing life is, and how the death of many would make it appealing.

What I Do if this were the final White Night
Peter Wother spoon [Wotherspoon] (cont.) – Senator Stennis his death might take the impetus away from the conspiracy. Genreal Piochet [General Pinochet] in Chile holds tight control over the Chilean politics. His death migh[cut off] throw the facist [fascist] government into confusion.Q and give some hope to the Chilean reisstance [resistance] movement. A third target in South Africa white racist leader such as Ian Smith of Rhodesia (Zimbabwe) I will write up as many plans as I can think of to accomplish this.
Julius Evans – I no longer consider this my life, but the life given me. I love being alive to help others. I do not wish to suddenly die but I am prepared mentally. I do not feel happy because I can only do so much in one day. I wish the facist [fascists] were forced to give back some of what they have taken from us, even mental contro[cut off] they don’t necessarily need to be killed.
They need to feel what we have for so long, then I think they would kill them selvesI feel hate and discust [disgust] for anyonethat would even think of destroying poor and weak people just because they may be a little strong. I sometimes don’t even try to love. When I love I expect love. Why not do someone some good and walk away without saying anything rather than living selfish as we do. I wou ld [would] like to live until I can be happy with my feelingsand be able to explain what living is to someone else.

What Would You Do in the final WhiteNight??
Tom Kice Sr. – I don’t expect to live much longer and don’t care. I believe the only way a revolution can be is to fight. I velieve on [believe one] of these days we will have to put our lives on the line. I don’t believe every white night will be won over the radio. I don’t care how I die just so I die for the cause. I would chose [choose] to go back to the States and kill Time Soten [Tim Stoen] and the Mertles as many of them as I could get. I will give my life where ever I willserve [will serve] the cause more.
Bob Davis – My selfish side of me says if I had a nice way to go it would be with our leader for continue [continued] life with Dad is demorilizing [demoralizing], (I presume he meant without???
If I will face the realization tha tI [that I] am a revolutionary then I wil [page cut off] then I will do what ever is necessary for communsim [communism]. (so it will spread) specifically I could seem myself going to battle in a revoulutionary [revolutionary] liberation war. If that were the case its [it] seems to me that miltary trainging [military training] in Cuba and being deployed by Cuban force would be helpful.
II would be willing to go back to states and committ terrioist [commit terrorist] acts and kill monoply [monopoly] capitalists or political enemies. NOTE: ++++++++++++++ No mention of former PT members, or he would do away with them???[underscores by trs, not in original]
Najuhuanda Walker [Najahuanda Darnes] – If facists [fascists] come here it really does not matter, it is time to give my life for what I believe. I never want to live until Iam very old, but I must theinkof [think of] the children who are the future of Co-I want to give my life in the line (front) I could walk naked toward the guns pointed at me, and as I was doing this some of the brothers could come from behind and gake [take] their weapons from them, stripping naked would be to distract their attention. Could have bombs tied to my body could move in closer and explode at the same time. They could not take me alive because I would harass them until they killed me. Death is a beautiful experience, peacefull sleep. Iam trying to take as much pain as I can now to prepare myself.
Philip Blakey – I would like to do a day of the jackel [jackal] job on facists [fascists]. I’d go right up to facists [fascists] and shoot them, then I would shoot myself. Unless I could get away to do another in. Good team would be n[page cut off]

What would I do with my body in a final white night
Patty Parks – I am sorry to bring more pain then [than] was necesary [necessary] to our leader by coming here. I was just stupid like the capitalist want me to be and did not realize the seriousness of this move. I feel guilty and responsible for Brend’s [Brenda’s] immaturity. I will be lookin g for ward [looking forward] to seeing their growth. It will make me so happy. I am ready to die for this cause not alone, but to take enemies with me.
Sandra Evans – I would like to die fighting with all my might and I’d like to take a few enemies with me. I would like for my childrento live and grow up in this socialist town and spread these ideals throug[cut off] out the world, if it is not possible then I would rather they diethan to be in the facists [fascists’] hands.
Eileen McMurry – No personal statementI do not expect to live long, because we have these white nights all the time. It doesn’t matter to me. I would like to be blown up as I blew up some of the enemies. I want to get as many facists [fascists] as possible. I would have to make several attacks killing off as many as I could and when the the military came after me, I would blow us all up. I would do anything without hesitation.
Dorothy Sanders – I would rather die killing an enemy then [than] revolutionary suicide. I could do the suicide as a last resort. I would like the satisfaction of taking someone with me. I wish I had more of this conscienceness [consciousness]. I hope the world finds out Ia m [I am] part of this liberation movement. Only think [thing] I have done worth while is join P.T. I never thought I was worth anything. I like what you said earlier “In life or death we will make a mark in history.”
Mary Lou Clancey – I would like to particapate [participate] in an assination [assassination] plot to take care of as many enemies as possible then to take care of mysefl [myself] (shoo[cut off] myself in the head, whatever) I have often consider the possibly[cut off] [possibility] of arming myself with esplosives [explosives] and entering a building or a group of people—boom- as in the battle of Algiers, the women marched down the street fighting off the enemies with their hands sticks. Obviously giving their lives in the fore front of the revolution.
Orlando Robinson (child) – I would rather die fighting for this land, and kill off traitors.

Stan Gieg – I want to live just to fight for the revolution of all people or to build a society where all are equal. I would like fighting here or in another country. If I have to I will committ revoluntary [commit revolutionary] suicide.
Bill Jackson – [Who is this? Not on victims or survivors lists] I would like to die by revoluntary [revolutionary] suicide by blowing myself up. Feel it would serve more of an inpact [impact].
Ralph Jackson – I would die with the enemies who have hurt us. I would try to win favor with the enemies, and give them information, that was already public once gathering their trust, I would get them in the same room and blow them up. Would write a dramatic letter of explantion [explanation] defending Dad’s character.

James Johnson – I would die for this revoluntary [revolutionary] cause any day. I really don’t live to see tomorrow. I would kill some of our enemies then kill myself, or force them to kill me.
Amanda Fair – This is the only cause worth dying for. I want to take as many honkeys with me as possible in death by human torch and explosion I wouldn’t be suspect as I never said anything much to anyone.
Maria McCann – Before I die I need the assurance that the children are dead, and know we done the best thing for them before we die. I would like to believe I would do anything necessary to get our enemiesI am afraid of torture, but not of the final death. I realize this is cowardly. I think once I knew our children were dead our whole future would be dead and my will to go on living would be shot and I’d be so angry at the fascist pigs for doing this to us I’d do anything to kill them.
Rosa Keaton – I have leaned [learned] more about being a revoultionary [revolutionary] each time we have a white night. I have grown stronger, and more committed. I am willing to work, be tortued [tortured], or die for this cause.
Esther Dillard – For the greatest number Iam willing to committ revoltionary [committ revolutionary] suicide as long as I know I can take some enemy with me. I am always willing to learn to shoot., a bow and arrow and be on the front line.
Ken Norton – I don’t think I fear death. I have tried to die so many times since I was born. I don’t want to come back so I should reserve my life for revoluntary [revolutionary] suicide. I feel I may live long as I have so many lessons to learn, I have been spared from death so many times, I can’t but help I have an obligation which must be paid.

Grace Stoen thought I was always hostile, I think I could easily fool her. I would put a lot of gasoline in a lamp I was using for light, and maybe accidently [accidentally] drop a match in it and blow them all to hell and back.
I don’t think I could live a long time if I wanted to live [life] is not that rewarding. I do understand it [if] there is any way out, I do owe it to the children. I will do anythink [anything] I am asked to do to help to bring the facist [fascists] down.
Cathy Barrett – In the event of the fianl [final] whitenight and there was not an all out battle I would like to die by poison after putting the children to sleep. Thie [This] would be hards [hard] for me to do because I don’t like to face the fact of killing my own child.

What I would do if this were the final white night
Chris Oneal [Chris O’Neal] – I am going to live out my life fighting for a cause in which I believe in, the cause Iam talking about is the wisdom that Jim Jones has given me. I hope to live as [a] long life for I can fight thoes [those] who are trying to stop this great movement, and I would like to kill the big rich people and the people who don’t understand the meaning of the word free. And when I die I like to die after killing some of thoes [those] rich assholes.
Erris Morrission [Erris Morrison] – I would take my cutlass and go to the front lines and fight. And I will get one of them and I would take his gunand [gun and] hide around and when I see another one I would fir[cut off] at him and hit him, if they catch me I would make them kill me, by fighting, and that means being a crazy nigger, biting stromping [stomping] their balls, dick hair eyes, breaking their fingers anything I could get a hold of. If they put me in jail wIwould [I would] go on a hunger stike [strike] I will watch my comrades and make sure they do not run. (This means my relatives also) I will kill them I will fight until death do us part.
Dorothy Simpson – I have not thought out what I would do with my life yet. Iam willing to work and do anything to help get the people free, even if it means dying. I am willing to do that but first I would like to be in a positon [position] to get a number of enemies too, by blowing them up or shooting them or poisioning [poisoning] them or any other way. So children could have a better place to live.
Berniece [Bernice] Thomas – I don’t care how I die. I would like to kill Time [Tim] Stoen
I would like to bomb the court house in Texas, Kania Texas, and burn the house where I was born, as they threw my mother out of the house, , I don’t care how or when I die Iam not afraid. No news turned in.
Mike Carter – When someone like the mercanaries [mercenaries] attack us ot [to] chase them and take their weapons from them, then we will havem [have] more guns for our people to use. Anytime a country is to be in

What I would do if this were the last white night.
Renee Gieg – At a final white night and there was no way out I would like to fight until death. The children would naturally have to be put to sleep, then we could fight. I don’t want to go to another country, only reason would be to kill Stoen andothers [and others] a slow lingering death for them . I would like to get my hands on the bitch, Yolanda Crawsord [Yulanda Crawford].
Helen Johnson – I want to give my life if necessary, maybe as a human torchand let me loose where I can do the most good.
Anitra Green [Greene] – No personal statement.
Judy Ijames– No personal statement.
Tinitra Johnson [Tinetra Fain] – I am willing to do anything for the cause even if it meant my death because I feel I owe Dad and the people a lot. If Iam asked to do something, I will without any hesitation.
Ben Barrett – When I die I want it to have some purpose. I will not just lay down and die. I will either die fighting to defend this freedom land or I will die taking some of our enemies with [me] who have been telling lies about us.
Joyce McIntyre – I would like to die fighting. If I got shot and did not die I would pick up my self and keep on fighting until Iam killed.
Kim Yoon Ai – I would like to go back andkill [and kill] some of our enemies. I would not give into anything. Would not take any bribe or talk. I would like to do as our former[?] did in Nicaragua. Iam ready for any fighting., or anything, Iam ready to die. I don’t want to live long, but I want to participate in the revolution and laymylife [lay my life] down if necessary. Maybe I could go back and get information from the enemies[.] I would kill them and torture them slowly. Maybe they would think Iam Suzanne, and the [they] would talk.
Cris Lund [Chris Rozynko] – I would like to kill as many of the enemies as possible. Would like to get me a knife and stab them todeath [to death] or a gun and shoot them. Strapping bombs to mysefl [myself] would be the quckest [quickest] and easiest way. I would do this if I could get several at one time. However if I could shoot one there is a chance I could

Lucy Crenshaw – Would like to work and live for socialism leading to communis[cut off] as long as Iam physically and mentally alert. Then on the other hand if Iam not needed to work as much as Iam needed to make a sacrifice with my body or act as a decoy I will count it a priviledge [privilege] to die as a human V-bomb.
Al Simon – If I get an opportunity to kill traitors I will use a knife. A knife is easy to conceal and since they don’t know how I look it would be easy to get close enough to do thejob [the job], this method I would have to catch them when they were alone. I will study and see if they travel singly or in a large group. If they do I will plan to catch them when they are grouped and I will use a 380 auto matic pistol. Holds ten rounds per clip. Once the job is done I will be hunted down and killed by the police, but hopefully I will have a chance to kill some of the others before they jill [kill] me. They won’t take me alive. When my weapon is empty I will attack them there fore they will shoot me. They like to shoot people.
Betty Moore – I would either stand here and fight or if there was any way possible to get back into the states without being arrested[.] I would like to execute as many of our enemies, I could by either posioning [poisoning], shootinig, burnign [burning] or blowing them up and then committ [commit] revolutionary suicide.

We have seen so much hypocrisy out of some who call themselves socialists. Thus, we are taking retribution on those we have absolute [proof] are hypocrits [hypocrites] and the basest of beings. Many of them were terrorists who tried to such us into violence, instead of building the non-violent socialist society we have built. We are doing this to aviod [avoid] others being hurt by their sickness; therefore they must go down. You only know people who are complete degenerates from personal experiences. That is why we go for not heads of states. We do not seek to cause international tensions. We have absolute documentation on these people and they are on the side of everything indecent. They tried to starve out and otherwise destroy us by hiring mercenaries to hurt or kill harmless, gentle seniors and beautiful children.
We tried to appeal to many to either return or live someplace in peace – free from the nighmare of this harassment. We have all decided in a sense as the old proverb said – “Born out of due season.? [“] We don’t expect anyone to understand and we don’t expect history to tread [treat] us fairly, but we have probed our conscience for hours and hours in many sessions. We could have been beneficial; at least, we had something to offer.
The many who wrote in our guest book saw sincerely a peaceful socialist living cooperative, as equal as anything could ever be on earth.
At this stage we can’t be concerned about what history has to say. We have to do what is best. Like an ancient tribe just below us[!! He knew about that!!], we had to do what we concluded best for us. We concluded best for us. We debated in town forum in open and free discussion until the few original dissenters concluded of their own volition that this was the course to follow.
We would have saved our children, if there had been any way possible, but our children became accustomed to an advanced social system of cooperative sharing. Plus, how can they live when they would be told their parents and grandparents died. Though we are sure the true story could never be told – there was just no place for us. We could not hold out because too many things were being done against us. If you do research you will find that the age of conspiracy is not dead, and neither is there an end to those who find the people who play unwittingly into the hands of conspirators by cynicism, apathy, or dispair [despair]. They are too willing to believe every

thing that is told to them. If you believe in too much goodness, that puts a burden on you. There are some who don’t want to see goodness because if they saw it they would feel too much compunction to emulate it in their own lives which they are unwilling to do.

Ideas for last stand:
- To conservatives – gun control, don’t take weapons out of control of the little people, when big governments have such devastating weapons they can use against whoever they choose. The ordinary person would be left helpless if he did not retain his right to a weapon.
- To Christians – the world is corrupt, we have old, and children. We choose not to live. Use scriptures. The world is so corrupted, etc.
