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

In a tape with multiple segments, but all from a single day, Jim Jones reads portions of three feature-length articles, as well as several shorter news items, for September 25, 1978.<\/p>\n

The three long articles are:<\/p>\n

\u2022 A Washington Post<\/em> article on the transformation of Libya by its leader Moammar Khadafy;
\n\u2022 A piece in Harpers<\/em> and Playboy<\/em> \u2013 although the second reference could be to Penthouse<\/em> \u2013 about the ways in which President Carter\u2019s National Security Advisor Zbigniew Brzezinski has advanced the goals of the Trilateral Commission; and
\n\u2022 Coverage \u2013 and critiques \u2013 of a lengthy policy address by Soviet leader Leonid Brezhnev.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As with many of these news broadcasts, Jones interjects periodic asides, pointing out inconsistencies and hypocrisies of politicians, and the excesses and injustices of capitalism and imperialism. He makes several references to nuclear war and its inevitability, if not its immediacy or \u2013 as he quotes Brzezinski as saying \u2013 its necessity.<\/p>\n

Other shorter items include:<\/p>\n

\u2022 Rhodesian military strikes of rebel bases in Mozambique
\n\u2022 Cyrus Vance\u2019s meetings with Mideast leaders
\n\u2022 Tupelo, Mississippi resistance to racism
\n\u2022 Arrest of protestors at Seabrook nuclear power plant in New Hampshire
\n\u2022 Police shooting of black youth in Washington, DC<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There are several messages interspersed to the Jonestown community throughout. His discussion of bail in a criminal case leads him to condemn its use as a part of the capitalist system, although he says he would post bail for himself if he were arrested in order to continue his work for them.<\/p>\n

He closes with several announcements, beginning with the demand that people need to be accountable for their actions and for where they are. Both the workers and their supervisors need to file reports on what they\u2019re doing as well as on whom they observe not working. There are consequences for people who don\u2019t, he adds. \u201cWe have too many people [in the US] depending for their freedom on our lives, our work, our energies, our productivity, and if you don\u2019t have conscience to respond to it, then we will have structure that will require it.\u201d He also insists that people come up with more ideas for making money and complains that he has received very few such ideas in recent weeks. All of these directivesare familiar to the community by this point.<\/p>\n

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

Date of transcription: 5\/25\/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 24, 1979, Special Agent (name deleted) reviewed the tape numbered 1B68-6. This tape was found to contain the following:<\/p>\n

JIM JONES talking about miscellaneous topics to include Libya and its new socialist society, MOAMMAR KHADAFY, Watergate II, Rhodesia, Russian language lessons, crew supervisor reports and letters to DICK GREGORY.<\/p>\n
