The party that elected Jim Jones to political office - without anyone noticing anything was amiss until 900 blacks were dead - is, clearly, back to working their magic on the populace, again.

Any Evidence Of Voter Fraud Is NOT Evidence Of Voter Fraud (In The NewAge)
- The New York Times, December 17, 1978
That is clear evidence the Democrat Party has, can, and will engage in voter fraud. This was a confession by a cult they exploited - another low they still willingly sink to - reported three years after the fact. The Democrats never copped to it, they were never punished for it, and they have never stopped capitalizing on it, or exploiting those tactics. Why would they? San Francisco is a breeding ground for cults and everyone knows it. The F.B.I.s investigating another one right now. THAT'S how much precaution the party, and The City, take against one of the worst tragedies the nation's ever known.
Don't tell me the contemporary party of murderers (like Ed Buck) rapists (like Bill Clinton) enablers and liars (like Hillary and her three-year "Russian Collusion" hoax) who also are known to deal with NewAge cults, wouldn't steal an election - if, for power, they were willing to do this to American blacks. Hell, Bill Clinton - alone - killed Ricky Ray Rector just to look tough on crime.
Somehow, having a People's Temple cult member on a stamp - after he kidnapped a child and led him to his death - does something for the Democrat Party, that just doesn't move TMR in exactly the same way.
And I don't trust anyone who thinks otherwise.

Bad With Dates
In order to get some real normalcy, Tucker Carlson said he and the folks at Fox News want to go back to 2005. But 2005's a bad call.
See, if you know what's going on, then you know 2005 is exactly when the Age of Unreason began. We've just been marinating in it - completely unnoticed - for the last 15 years.
It was just the year before, 2004, that these fine folks (above) saw to it that Mumbo-Jumbo had conquered the world. So, as you can also see - in only one year -it's rise was actually pretty quick. That's because it's been unimpeded.
And, it was unimpeded because, in 2001, New Age was just establishing itself as the ideology of global capitalism. They needed to give the movement time to mature.
It had been way back in 1978 that the Democrats were first revealed to have stolen an election using a NewAge cult three years prior.
1978 was also when they let almost 1,000 people die with the People's Temple, and started exploiting it, with lies about Harvey Milk's lying ass, ever since.

Zombies
How could they hang with that creep? What were Oakland's leaders thinking?--Marshall Kilduff is a San Francisco Chronicle editorial writer.
Those questions run through the mind in the wake of revelations of how Oakland politicians tolerated the thuggish, thieving conduct of Yusuf Bey and his followers. For years.There was a city loan never repaid, high-profile visits to Bey's home base Your Black Muslim Bakery, muzzled police inquiries, go-easy letters to a sentencing judge, and help with a bankruptcy mess. At every turn, City Hall came through for a quasi-religious group that was more gangster than godly.
Only late in the game, when Bey's empire crumbled after the killing of local journalist Chauncey Bailey, did these enablers vanish.In the rearview mirror, it was abysmal judgment. But it's more than that - it's the heart of cynical deal-making, the transactional politics that mixes risk and reward to produce a decision. It's what happens when leaders fail in a fundamental way to compute the full effects of a decision.
This short-term thinking may work when locating a freeway billboard or curbing liquor sales in corner stores. But it doesn't compute with criminals linked to rape, spousal abuse, murder and torture with a heated knife. Lives, many of them, were scarred by Bey and the violent conduct he spurred.The explanations, if you can find one from his long-gone supporters, are plausible but soft: [Your Black Muslim Bakery] was a self-help beacon in a crime-soaked neighborhood. Ex-cons and the jobless benefited. The strong, even harsh ideals of the group sent a message of personal change and belief. That bad stuff? We had no idea, honest.
It's time for a history lesson. This spin was heard before, right across the bay where a parallel saga played out a generation ago. In the late 1970s, the Rev. Jim Jones likewise surrounded himself with big-shouldered bodyguards and a retinue of flunkies. He gave edgy speeches on civil rights and marched at housing eviction protests. His church nursed social programs and health care on a grimy corner in the Fillmore District. He was a wizard with the race card: a white preacher who led a congregation of largely black and poor followers. As in Oakland, the political set flocked to his Peoples Temple to be part of the show. Doubt was not encouraged.
The names of the visitors are gilt-edged Hall of Famers. In San Francisco, it was Willie Brown, gay icon Harvey Milk and then-Mayor George Moscone, who named Jones to the Housing Authority. In Oakland, Bey's chums included former mayor and now Attorney General Jerry Brown, Mayor Ron Dellums and U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee. There were plenty of others on both guest lists.
Did these outsiders, on their closely-escorted visits, suspect something amiss or troubling? Did they wonder how either of these airless worlds operated? Were they worried about future embarrassment if the clearly eccentric Jones or Bey had a darker side?All of them are too smart and seasoned to have missed the trouble signs. Instead they put up with these deluded leaders and hoped things wouldn't get worse. In the meantime, the bargain held with the politicos picking up a high-vis ally while the two decidedly dangerous "community leaders" bought the respect they craved.
The two stories are about more than political back-scratching. Both Jones and Bey were never seriously investigated until late in the game. Jones ran a string of rest homes and foster care facilities that he milked for income. He sheared off pension checks from his elderly followers and sold their possessions in exchange for a promised-land journey to Guyana, where their lives ended. There was no official inquiry until Rep. Leo Ryan went to Guyana in 1978 to check on temple members at the behest of their worried families. That mission unhinged Jones, who oversaw the forced deaths of some 900 followers, including his own suicide.
Bey, who died from cancer in 2003, was a less spectacular saga. His business enterprises brought him respect and standing. His troops chased off drug dealers, which led City Hall and police higher-ups to protect him from investigation. If that sounds like a defensible bargain, you're forgetting the people raped, abused and killed by Bey's soldiers.There's an age-old question always asked when a monster falls: What have we learned to avoid a repeat? Judging from these two stories, there's a clear answer. Absolutely nothing.

The People's Temple
At the end of the '70s The People's Temple
had the full support
of The City
900 black souls
were to lose their lives
to a cult
that would rise on pity
Now in front
of that same City Hall
The Falun Gong
parade
Family members say
they're thinking all wrong
but The City
offers them no aid
The Maitre Hospice
has a Reiki cult
that claims
they can stop the dying
A woman told me
she could walk through walls
I said "Show me"
She then stopped trying
One Taste will get you
by selling sex
once you climb up
the Yoga Tree
Mind/Body/Spirit?
Please, tell me: what's left?
If I live
and just want to be me?
When bad people do bad things
for bad reasons - it's bad
- my mother-in-law killed
by a homeopath
A father got killed;
a sister, in Vegas
"It's all natural without any side effects!"
- magic words, surely, they played us
Nobody talks
about killing each other
No, they talk
about what you believe
How something gets stronger
diluted in water
and wishing
cures heart disease
Black people are leaving
The City in droves
Why?
Doesn't seem so simple:
Where are they going?
Nobody knows
Nobody
leaves The People's Temple.
