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

This short tape recorded in Jonestown has no contextual references, and Jones\u2019 messages to the crowd before him are familiar, even if the intensity of his delivery is not often this high. He reminds his followers that they paid taxes on every purchase they made in the States, taxes that went \u201cfor napalm to drop on our babies.\u201d He damns the American system and its citizenry \u2013 including the relatives of people in Jonestown\u00a0 \u2013 who don\u2019t care about the atrocities the U.S. commits. He says he would \u201crather die young\u201d than have to sell out to that system. Finally, he tells them of the sacrifices he makes for them every day; in this instance, he has turned down \u201can offer of seven and a half million dollars, babies, to sell you all down the goddamn river.\u201d<\/p>\n
