Peoples Temple Collection; Box 21, Virtual Item 18 - Q746 - News and commentary (16 April 1978)
Creator
- Peoples Temple (Organization)
- Jones, Jim (Jones, James Warren) (Person)
Summary Note
Jim Jones reads three commentaries, all likely provided by Soviet or Warsaw Pact news sources. The first – already in progress and near its end when the tape begins – focuses on the efforts of the European Common Market to assert its influence in Asia and Australia. The second discusses the border dispute between Vietnam and Kampuchea, but with a pro-Vietnamese (i.e. anti-Chinese) perspective. The final analyzes the war between Somalia and Ethiopia, in which Somalia is depicted as the aggressor against its neighbor, a nation more closely allied with the Soviet Union. Full summary of the recording available at Alternative Considerations of Jonestown website, along with the tape transcript.
