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

In the course of reading the news for July 2, 1978, Jim Jones uses a news item about a Guyanese economics minister to remark upon the fortunes of the Jonestown community and the status of the conspiracy against them. The economics minister \u2013 Desmond Hoyte \u2013 had once opposed them, but now seems to be sympathetic to their cause, as do the other powerful figures in Georgetown, including world-renowned lawyer Lionel Luckhoo. \u201cThat would mean we have no forceful opposition of any kind in the country,\u201d Jones says.<\/p>\n

The shift is even more amazing, he continues, \u201cin view of the horrible lies that the conspiracy is bombarding on everyone here in the mails.\u201d The conspiracy can\u2019t even seem to find traction anymore in the US anymore. The press, which once carried the lies of Debbie Layton Blakey, seems to be backing away from covering her. Perhaps that arose when her mother Lisa Layton accused Debbie of stealing money. Or perhaps it came from Debbie\u2019s changing stories about Jonestown, and the contradictions have dampened press enthusiasm for her. Or perhaps it\u2019s the racism that she and other conspirators have utilized.<\/p>\n

But this is basically a news tape, with two separate parts. The first, lengthier section is like many others from this period of Jonestown\u2019s history. Jones seems to be taking the stories from Soviet and Eastern bloc news sources, in that Communist China \u2013 an ideological adversary to the Soviet Union rivaling the west \u2013 comes under as much criticism as the United States and her allies. The U.S. is described only as fascist, racist, and beholden to the interests of monopoly capitalism. Jones\u2019 own commentary is evident only once in the early part of the tape, when he asserts that the troubles in the Middle East are \u201cendangering nuclear war.\u201d<\/p>\n

As is also the case with many of these tapes, Jones reads a lengthy article after the news bulletins. The day\u2019s piece, of unknown origin, is a history, analysis and critique \u2013 from a Marxist viewpoint \u2013\u00a0of \u201cthe bourgeoisie concept of equal rights.\u201d<\/p>\n

Other items in the news include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 The Carter administration presents a Middle East peace plan to Israel, but Egypt is dubious;
\n\u2022 Beirut is shelled;
\n\u2022 The Rhodesian government and Zimbabwean liberation forces trade accusations of atrocities;
\n\u2022 US reporters are charged with civil slander in the USSR;
\n\u2022 China is challenged to accept ethnic population returning from Vietnam;
\n\u2022 The Arab League cuts contact with South Yemen;
\n\u2022 Italian elections yield uncertain results;
\n\u2022 A Caribbean economic group predicts real success for the area;
\n\u2022 US servicemen lead anti-Semitic riots in West Germany.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The section ends with Jones\u2019 usual pleas to keep the community clean and to work hard. This last words are of love for his people.<\/p>\n

The second, shorter section of the tape could be from the same day, but the recording is quite different. Still, with only general stories presented \u2013 a review of a book by a white South African journalist who warns that his government faces collapse, and Africa\u2019s embrace of Cuba and communist forces over the West \u2013 there is no real context for the last ten minutes of the tape.<\/p>\n

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

Date of transcription: 6\/27\/79<\/p>\n

In connection with the Federal Bureau of Investigation\u2019s investigation into the assassination of U.S. Congressman LEO J. RYAN at Port Kaituma, Guyana, South America, on November 18, 1978, a tape recording was obtained. This tape recording was located in Jonestown, Guyana, South America, and was turned over to U.S. Officials in Guyana and subsequently transported to the United States.<\/p>\n

On May 29, 1979, Special Agent (name deleted) reviewed the tape numbered 1B70-25. This tape was found to contain the following:<\/p>\n
