Likely dry mouth from his massive drug consumption, especially the amphetamines. Dry mouth is a side-effect of stimulants.

[@Ravie3]

For context, he would have people who tried to escape drugged and put in the "mental division" that he's talking about. So he's basically talking about how he's going to make his prisoners' lives even worse.

He basically made up his own religion and was a advocate for socialism but he really was a manipulative mental murderous lunatic that was a ticking time bomb

[@TonyMichaels166]

He literally and figuratively threw the Bible out during one of his sermons. He told his congregation that religion and God are bullshit and was merely a means to an end for him. As he blasphemed the church erupted in applause, cheers, and shouts and hoots of approval. They were totally unable to think for themselves.

[@christophermacintyre5890]

The way he turns around the "betrayal" by his adopted daughter from a personal set back to a tool to get his own followers to turn against their families back in the United States is chilling and fascinating. The concerns of stateside relatives were ultimately what led to Congressman Ryan's visit. Jones' fear of defections and the truth getting about the horrors going on inside Jonestown were what ultimately lead to the massacre.

[@MrHendo747]

Very interesting to hear.... Thank you Casey for the upload. He sounds lucid enough, not that I agree with anything he particularly says, but he does sound slurred in his speech....

[@MsNooneinparticular]

Sounds like typical amphetamine rambling to me. He was super addicted to multiple uppers & downers by this point. When you never sleep, you start to go crazy. It wouldn't necessarily cause slurred speech or other "drunk" symptoms, but you best believe speed can make you insane when abused.

[@anthonyfoster7228]

Apparently Jim was really a Marxist but couldn't relate his belief to people in U.S. Until an advisor said for him to turn into a pastor, which he could hardly wait to try. He was 90% Marxist 10% religious.

[@ninalisa2303]

thank you for the upload..

[@sisophous]

After listening to this tape how could anyone NOT think Jim Jones is insane. Jones says he is sick and tired of chasing through the jungle with as many as 50 people looking for deserters. No wonder he is so pissed off. So many people desperate to leave, so sad. No need to worry, Congressman Ryan is coming and he has the congressional shield to protect them. Jim Jones is so bizarre and full of hate that he has me laughing. And his audience is dumber than dirt.

[@malavestica1787]

sisophous yeah I don't understand why anybody would listen to this crazy man. If it was not mass suicide how come the adults didn't attack and over power the guards? Isn't it better to die trying too save the children then take the poison?

[@MsNooneinparticular]

He certainly was crazy by this point--abusing uppers & downers daily via IV, never sleeping w/ his health going downhill fast. But in the beginning he didn't sound like this. He was calm & humble. Might've been an act, but still. Nobody would've joined the cult if he started off sounding like this o.O

[@BM-qw8hy]

@@MsNooneinparticular Of course no one would have joined if he started off like that. He is a psychopath, and all psychopaths wear the mask of sanity. They will play a decent character at first to draw people in. This is manipulation and is a tactic they all use. They have to get people to like them and trust them. If a psychopath showed who they really are at the beginning then no one would want to go anywhere near them. If a man who is abusive and controlling goes on a date with a girl and he hits her, she won't see him again, but if he pretends to be nice for a while until she falls in love with him, then once he starts to gradually show who he really is she won't leave as she gradually accepts the escalating abuse step by step.

I still believe that Jim Jones lead his people to the wrong direction. Jones was not a man of God.He was the voice of Satin.He forced his people against their will to follow him and made them do themselves in. People like Jim Jones makes me glad I choose not to go to church.

[@rubyleuty9417]

Howard Cunniffe believe me, he had nothing to do with church. These people were conditioned over the years to do what he said. I have never heard a minister talk like this. This was mind control. He talked about suicide all the time. Night after night he would have these people drink the kool aide and told them they would die but they didn’t. It was like practice. It was done so many times that one follower said he did it so often that they had gotten to the point that didn’t care if they did die. On the night it became real, most drank it without hesitation because he had conditioned them to drink. Some did resist so they were injected with a syringe.

[@howardcunniffe8738]

I do believe that Jones had these people brain washed into doing it. But it did have something to do with church. He had them do this stupid test in his own church.
