Over 900 people died at Jonestown, in what was officially described as a mass suicide. Closer inspection uncovers a number of possible ties to something more sinister.

1978 saw the continued offshoring of the US Deep state, in response to the House Select Committee on Assassinations.

House Select Committee on Assassinations

Full article: House Select Committee on Assassinations

In the US, the House Select Committee on Assassinations concluded that John F. Kennedy and Martin Luther King were both very likely assassinated as a result of a conspiracy, not by "lone nuts". The HSCA had "posed large problems for the Cabal", which they addressed partly through a policy of assassination.

Jonestown

Full article: Jonestown

Jonestown was a remote settlement in Guyana, established by the Peoples Temple under the leadership of Jim Jones. The official narrative notes that members were poisoned by drinking a cyanide laced drink, but that is disputed by some.

 

Events

Event	Date	Description
Operation Paperclip		A transfer of top German scientists to USA.
Cold War		The official narrative had 2 diametrically opposed systems locked in combat with one another since soon after WW2. Each of the "superpowers" and its team of allies needed to outdo each other by creating ever more and deadlier weapons, creating a kind of perpetual war for perpetual peace, with the warring parties engaging mainly in covert/proxy wars. Deep state interests blossomed in the climate of fear and paranoia.
Operation Demagnetize		"The institutional hardening of Gladio", an expansion of Gladio in the late 1940s, early 1950s.
Rhodesian Bush War
The Troubles		The sectarian conflict in Northern Ireland which flared into serious sustained violence through the summer of 1969
Operation Condor		US-backed campaign of assassination and terrorisation carried out in South America.
Great Oil Sniffer Hoax		A fraudulent scheme purporting to be able to detect oil by a new technology. Details remain rather obscure.
Inslaw		The Inslaw affair was a complex financial/political fraud the full dimensions of which were never uncovered, but some of which were forced onto the official record.
Arms for Libya		Around 20 tonnes of C-4 plastic explosive, training in bomb making, together with thousands of rifles, handguns & other weapons sold by a CIA operative to Muammar Gaddaffi's Libya in the late 1970s - early 1980s. Then "the biggest arms-dealing case in U.S. history", still lacking its own page on Wikipedia as of 2020.
David Atlee Phillips/Confides about conspiracy		David Atlee Phillips confiding in a House Select Committee staffer Kevin Walgh shortly before his death. My private opinion is that JFK was done in by a conspiracy, likely including rogue American Intelligence people.
Project STARGATE		Project STARGATE aimed to gain domination over entire nations by making them cede their autonomy and privacy to the controlling person or group.
Bilderberg/1978		The 26th Bilderberg, held in the US
Celle Hole		Prison escape organized by secret services, possibly to arrange a "shot while fleeing"
