The authorities were coming from Georgetown in Guyana for him. And so he mixed these tubs of punch and they were laced with cyanide. And he encouraged, insisted that all of his people take the cyanide. And so that's what, when the phrase came, you drank the Kool-Aid because people would say, well, it was Kool-Aid and the people in Jonestown drank the Kool-Aid and they died.

And so if you, the expression you drank the Kool-Aid is an illusion to Jonestown and the idea that you're brainwashed, that you're not thinking clearly. So many of the people in Jonestown were forced to drink the Kool-Aid. They didn't have a choice. The children, there were hundreds of them. They were all murdered. There were people that were shot that were trying to run away.

So it was a massacre, and almost 1,000 people died in one day in 1978. And that was Jonestown. And that was really the beginning of people saying, well, what about these cults? What's going on? Because people started to write about them and write about Jim Jones. Of course, Jonestown came before me because I started my work in 82. So that was four years after Jonestown. But I remember Jonestown.

But I remember Jonestown.

And I also remember Charlie Manson. And I remember Patty Hearst. who was abducted by a cult called the Symbionese Liberation Army. So cults were becoming known before Jonestown, but at Jonestown, that was the shock that really woke everybody up, that this could be very, very bad. And of course, since Jonestown, there have been a number of cult tragedies.

Another is the movement for the restoration of the Ten Commandments in Uganda. In 2000, the leader of that group, Joseph Kibwetere, ordered the deaths of over 700 of his followers. And right now, there's a man named Paul McKenzie in Kenya, and he is responsible for the starvation deaths of over 400 of his followers, many children. Why? Because he said, it's the end of the world.

That's what Joseph Kibbutere said. That's what Paul McKenzie said. We have to get ready. It's the end. And the end it was for their followers. 750 in Uganda, 400 in Kenya. And then, of course, we know about the suicide of the people of Kenya. the Solar Temple, which was in Europe, and those were the followers of Luc Giray. They all died in what could have been a murder or a suicide.

There were almost 100 of them. And then there was Heaven's Gate around the same time in the 90s that 39 people in a house rented by their leader, you know, all died together. because he determined that this was the end and that they were going to somehow move from their bodies to a level above human.
