Summary
Warning: EXTREME LANGUAGE AND GRAPHIC CONTENT
The student movement is dead. The Black Panther Party is torn apart by J. Edgar Hoover's FBI. Activism devolves into struggle sessions and terrorism, as the movement for civil rights and social justice is left to "drunks, hypes, freaks, and madmen." Treason drives Jim Jones off a cliff.

| 0:06.4 | You're about to hear the sixth episode of God's Socialist, the rise and fall of people's |
| 0:12.8 | temple, better known as the Jones Town Suicide Cult. |
| 0:18.4 | If you haven't listened to the previous episodes in this series, I highly recommend you |
| 0:22.1 | go back to the prologue and work your way up from there. You'll get a lot more out of |
| 0:25.2 | the story. It's a lot of detail, a lot of things, a lot of moving parts that you have to |
| 0:29.3 | kind of follow along with to get the full context, I think. If you enjoy this series, please |

| 1:33.5 | haven't listened to the previous episode, stop. Go back and listen to that one first. Even if |
| 1:39.8 | you don't listen to the whole series, go back and listen to the previous episode, if you haven't |
| 1:43.0 | heard of pre-listen to this one, because I'm just picking right where I left off. So I was |
| 1:47.5 | describing how Jim's paranoia went parabolic after his failed trip back home to Indianapolis, |
| 1:53.0 | about how he'd faked an assassination attempt to rally his people to the flag and afterward |
