Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n

(Note: <\/strong>This tape was transcribed by Vicki Perry. The editors gratefully acknowledge her invaluable assistance.)<\/i><\/p>\n

Jim Jones reads the news of\u00a0 12 October 1978.<\/p>\n

Jones begins by reading a statement made by Guyana\u2019s Foreign Minister to the United Nations, then continues with the news. The stories include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Guyana provides milk to its nursery school children
\n\u2022 Bulgarian\/Nigerian communiqu\u00e9 blasts Rhodesia and South Africa
\n\u2022 South Africa may acquire nuclear weapons
\n\u2022 Coffee harvest in Ethiopia
\n\u2022 Anniversary of young Communist league in USSR
\n\u2022 Rhodesian attacks on refugee camps
\n\u2022 Elections in Namibia
\n\u2022 Production of the neutron bomb
\n\u2022 SALT talks<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The news on the relatively short tape comes from Soviet and Eastern European sources, but most of the commentary is Jones\u2019. His small comments and asides, sprinkled throughout the stories, are quite familiar to the Jonestown community. He refers to West Germany as\u00a0 \u201cthe inheritor of Hitler\u2019s Third Reich,\u201d he points out that bombs dropped on refugee camps by Rhodesian planes are paid for \u201cby our tax dollars in USA,\u201d he describes NATO\u2019s membership as the \u201cUS and her imperialist western allies,\u201d and he blasts neutron weapons for their ability to extinguish life while leaving property intact, \u201cfor the capitalist to pick up so it\u2019ll be useable to them, the rich ruling class elite.\u201d<\/p>\n

Only once does he pause before offering an editorial comment, suggesting that the story is relatively new. After reading about South Africa\u2019s potential to acquire nuclear weapons, he says, \u201cThat would be little hope for peace in that troubled continent, if that\u2019s the case.\u201d<\/p>\n

The tape was partially re-recorded over a dub from a San Francisco classical radio program,\u00a0 and the music plays on a separate track throughout the newscast.<\/p>\n
