It does not mean you take poison and lie down and die.

You know, it's another kind of white people taking black people's language and perverting it.

But he keeps using that term and then it gets parroted by his disciples. And so what's really important to recognize, though, is that Jim Jones is not the sole perpetrator of this deed. He has all of his henchmen who stay there with the guns. Right. Okay, they don't put their guns away when they get back to Jonestown from the airstrip. The poison has been prepared in advance.

He's had a committee, like you were saying last time, about all these committees running things. He's had a committee about what's the best way for everybody to die, preferably with the least amount of pain. And what is most... horrible is that it's the doctor who has prepared the poison.

He did all the study and there's the tranquilizers as well as the cyanide and some other stuff that's supposed to make it more palatable, especially for the children. And so... Everybody's there at the pavilion. He's on the loudspeaker. And as has often been the case through all of People's Temple's history, there's tape recording going on. And so that's why we know about things that happen.

There's a tape going. He's trying to convince them, OK, the congressman's been killed and, you know, I could turn in the people, but everybody is me. And, you know, nobody's different from anyone else here. So we all have to die.

It's called Flavor-Aid, and one survivor just calls it ghetto Kool-Aid. You know, it's like a knockoff of the Kool-Aid brand.

Well, so the cyanide is the poison. You've probably read about how cyanide has the smell of almonds. And so that's a kind of weird... Side effect. So it smells good, but actually it tastes terrible. I mean, they tried to make it so it would taste good. So there's cyanide, there's valium. And then I think there's one other kind of tranquilizing element in the brew.
