\u2022 Former eight-term California Congressman Paul N. \u201cPete\u201d McCloskey was awarded two Purple Hearts \u2013 among other service medals \u2013\u00a0for injuries he sustained during battle during the Korean War. In June 2012, he gave one of the Purple Hearts to U.S. Rep. Jackie Speier, who, as a young congressional aide to Rep. Leo Ryan, was severely wounded on the Port Kaituma airstrip in November 1978 during the attack that killed her boss. According to an article in The Los Angeles Times<\/a><\/em>, McCloskey never understood why Speier did not receive public recognition for the sacrifice she made. \u201cShe earned it,\u201d McCloskey was quoted as saying. \u201cShe got hurt worse than I did.\u201d<\/p>\n

Spot a Sociopath: 10 Red Flags To Avoid Being Swept Under the Influence of a Charismatic Nut Job<\/strong>
\nby Mike Adams, OpEd News<\/em>, 8 June 2012
\nhttp:\/\/www.opednews.com\/articles\/Spot-a-Sociopath-10-Red-F-by-Mike-Adams-120608-374.html<\/a>
\n\u201cThe ultimate destination of a sociopath is to destroy himself and take as many willing victims with him as possible. This is the Jim Jones scenario: Drink the Kool-Aid laced with poison, and thereby prove your worth to your entire cult group.\u2026 And people loved him for it! They felt inspired, excited, healed and guided. Jim Jones was their savior, their prophet. They believed his every word, and they paid for their foolish belief with their lives.\u2026 Jones was a master at invoking spiritual concepts and presenting himself as spiritually evolved. This is another common theme among sociopaths, and you see it among Applewhite, Manson, Jones and even present-day sociopaths who are operating in America right now.\u201d<\/p>\n

Is \u201cPeoples Temple\u201d Mainstreamed into American Society?<\/b><\/strong>
\nby Brad Ford, News In Faith News<\/em>, 30 March 2012
\n\u201cWe remember San Francisco-based Peoples Temple for its horrendous mass suicide that claimed the lives of 918 people on November 18, 1978, at their \u2018Agricultural Project\u2019 in the jungles of Guyana.\u00a0Like many cults, it was a blend of liberal politics and principles of Christianity that had been culled and repackaged to forge an unholy radicalism.\u2026 The Peoples Temple blending of races, leftist politics, and liberal Christianity has continued to evolve. It has shed the obvious clues that people today can quickly identify. The mask and guise has changed, made itself look more mainstream.\u2026 Hollywood and the advertising world has taken up the challenge to dress up Peoples Temple in ways that escape detection.\u00a0 Television commercials and sit-comms tout the normalcy of rainbow, divorced, and same-sex families.\u2026 American society is still drinking the Kool Aid, however, unaware that their immersion in entertainment can be as blinding as it was for those who self-righteously sought the Peoples Temple social prescription.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jonestown and Obama<\/b><\/strong>

\n\u201cIn the January 2012 Commentary<\/em> article entitled \u2018The Left\u2019s Great Crime\u2019 by George Russell, the protagonist of the piece is described in the following manner:
\n\u201c\u2018He had a gift for charismatic preaching and took it to black neighborhoods …where he preached racial inclusion and gathered a mixed-race congregation.
\n\u201c\u2018… he already cut a considerable figure in radical circles for his message of apostolic, or divine, socialism-colorblind Communism wrapped in the transport of faith healing and racial inclusion.
\n\u201c\u2018The … show was a highly successful act among the homeless, dispossessed, lonely, and often idealistic core of lower-middle-class and street people who were drawn in large numbers.\u2019\u2026
\n\u201cThe man whom author George Russell is describing is Jim Jones, remembered for the Jonestown, Guyana mass suicide of Americans on November 18, 1978.
\n\u201cYet as I read this piece, there were certain chilling similarities to the 44th president of the United States that I could not shake off.\u00a0 Certainly it was Obama\u2019s charisma, not his record that had people swooning before him.\u2026
\n\u201cJim Jones\u2019 ministry committed suicide although it was clear that many had no idea what was truly going on, and a number of them actually resisted.\u00a0 Is there a lesson in this horror?\u00a0 Are far too many Americans still drinking the Kool-Aid and not seeing the obvious?\u00a0 Will those 50% of Americans who remain deluded or in denial see how they are being used as dupes?\u00a0 Will the rest of us be brought down by their delusional ignorance?\u201d<\/p>\n

9\/11 pawn or Al-Qaeda Mum?<\/b><\/strong>
\nby Sophia Javed, Media Review Network<\/em>, Gauteng, South Africa, 6 February 2012

\n\u201cBoth the Jonestown massacre and the 9\/11 bombings were the biggest single non-natural calamities which have occurred against the American people. However the reaction to either of these events have been strikingly different. Both had religious elements, both were funded and supported by ordinary citizens and other nation states (for example the People\u2019s Temple relocated to Guyana with the help of the Guyana government) and both claimed innocent lives.
\n\u201cYet, the Christian doctrine capitalised upon by Jim Jones has been referred to as a warped theology, unknown to the Christian religion or its practitioners and was immediately denounced. But whilst Muslims are increasingly trying to educate non-Muslims as to the non-Islamic elements that present themselves in terrorism and the fact that Islam is indeed synonymous with justice, our efforts fall on deaf ears, blind eyes and dumb minds.
\n\u201cHence the War on Terror was launched after the 9\/11 attacks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Occupist dead-enders self-immolated – we got bored<\/b><\/strong>
\nby Terry Glavin, The Ottawa Citizen<\/em>, 21 November 2011
\nAs the viral phenomenon that always carries the prefix Occupy and rarely fails to advertise itself as a revolutionary movement descends into self-immolation by way of self-fulfilling prophecy – see the violence inherent in the system! – the only contentions that remain involve what it was, exactly, and what, if anything, might arise from its ashes.
\nThe article then goes on to compare the leaders of the Occupy movement to \u201cborn-again Stalinist demagogue Jim Jones\u201d and describes the movement itself as \u201cdescending into merely a Jonestown of the Imbecilities.\u201d<\/p>\n

How We Became Obsessed With Cults<\/b><\/strong>

\nSince the Rev. Sun Myung Moon died this week, obituaries have described a megalomaniacal tax-evader. \u2026 It\u2019s not easy, then, to recall a time when Rev. Moon was feared by much of the public. For a few years in the late 1970s, Moon was the most notorious public face of a cult scare. \u2026 The Jonestown massacre of 1978 (a mass suicide instigated by Jim Jones, leader of the People\u2019s Temple cult) suggested that this total obedience might extend to real violence. When then-Sen. Bob Dole chaired a joint congressional session on \u201cthe Cult Phenomenon\u201d in 1979, a parade of witnesses presented the problem in sensational terms. One described cults as \u201cone of the most dangerous threats in the history of this country.\u201d \u2026 Certainly some religious sects did serious harm. Some engaged in horrific acts\u2014mass violence (the Jonestown massacre) in the case of the People\u2019s Temple, well-documented sexual abuse for the Children of God. The Moon organization, too, was involved in some misdeeds such as tax-evasion (for which Moon went to prison).<\/p>\n

Mormonism Debate: What Is a Cult?<\/b><\/strong>

\nSouthern Baptist pastor Robert Jeffress made some controversial remarks over the weekend when he described the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints as a \u201ccult.\u201d The Southern Baptist understanding of the word \u201ccult\u201d is different than popularly held notions, which confused the debate.\u2026 When most of the public hears the word \u201ccult,\u201d they think of small, closed religious sects led by a charismatic leader with devout followers, such as the Branch Davidians or Jim Jones\u2019 Peoples Temple. \u201cCult\u201d can also be used in a milder sense to refer to passionate followers of a celebrity. Singer Justin Bieber, for instance, might be described as having a \u201ccult following.\u201d<\/p>\n

On Romney, Cults and Conservative Rhetoric<\/b>
\nby Rev. Charles St. Onge, Chron.com<\/em>, 12 October 2011
\nLast week a fellow HoustonBelief blogger and I had lunch and talked about areas of the world in which we\u2019d lived and served. Both of us lived in countries where people questioned whether the Lutheran \u201cbrand\u201d was a \u201ccult;\u201d he in New Zealand and myself in Quebec. We\u2019ve become very free as a people with our language, often using words for their shock value more than for conveying meaning or furthering understanding. Certainly the word \u201ccult\u201d is one of those words that is demagogically useful but rhetorically unhelpful.\u2026 Even I was surprised to see Merriam-Webster define\u00a0a cult as nothing more than a \u201csystem of religious beliefs and rituals\u201d or \u201ca religion regarded as unorthodox or spurious.\u201d Somehow I don\u2019t think that\u2019s the definition that most people carry in their mind. In a word association game I would suspect that \u201ccult\u201d and names like \u201cDavid Koresh\u201d and \u201cJim Jones\u201d would go together almost automatically. \u201cCult\u201d and \u201cKool-Aid\u201d seem a better match than \u201ccult\u201d and \u201cunorthodox belief system.\u201d<\/p>\n

\nJeffress didn\u2019t back down from the eyebrow-raising suggestion and sought to clarify his remarks.

The Baptist pastor added that he believes that Mormons are not Christians.

Review: Martha Marcy May Marlene<\/i><\/b><\/strong>
\nby Kevin Kaber, UWM Post<\/em>, p. 11 (Milwaukee, Wisconsin), 14 November 2011
\nMartha Marcy May Marlene<\/em> is a quiet, slow movie that increasingly outdoes itself with each sobering sequence of events. A dramatic thriller, or even a horror of sorts, the film has an uncanny ability to cause worry and jaw drops from its audience. Most of its subject matter is something that might be heard from Jonestown or the Yearning for Zion Ranch.<\/p>\n

\nhttp:\/\/www.celebdirtylaundry.com\/2011\/haunted-house-a-review-of-martha-marcy-may-marlene-1027\/<\/a>
\nTo say that \u2018Martha Marcy May Marlene\u2019 is a edge of your seat thriller would be an understatement. Eerily subtle, the film cannot compare to gruesome horror films because it illustrates something much worse. The narrative titers on the reality and nightmare which Martha (Elizabeth Olsen) can barely distinguish between.\u2026 The depiction of the psychological torment that Martha (who\u2019s name is changed to Marcy May) endures, though \u2018Black Swan-esque\u2019, is incomparably genuine. She is convinced that the gang is coming for her. She even pees herself after hearing pinecones fall onto roof. The film conjures thoughts of notorious cases such as Jonestown, the kidnapping of Patty Hearst, and the Manson family. What has baffled most about these cult incidents is how mind manipulation coerced a group of people to commit horrific crimes.
