Summary Note

The tape is the third in a series of four (preceded by Q 641 and Q 642, and concluding on Q 644) of a White Night – the most serious White Night since the previous September, Jim Jones says at one point in Q 642 – in February 1978. Much of this tape finds the residents of Jonestown discussing the options that are open to them, if the war against them should erupt with the fascists invading their jungle settlement. Jones himself is absent for the first part of the tape – he interrupts one speaker to explain his absence by saying that he is in “strategy” with the Soviet Union – but others (mostly unidentified males) stand in for him. Full summary of the recording available at Alternative Considerations of Jonestown website, along with the tape transcript.
