The Jonestown Death Tape

I have been developing a recent obsession with the cult leader Reverend Jim Jones, or J.J. as I have so lovingly nicknamed him. Yesterday I discovered his infamous "death tapes" online; the 45 min audio recording of his final sermon before they all drank the kill-aid and blissed out on revolutionary suicide. You can hear babies and children crying in the background as Jim Jones basically tells them all to get on with it. I have also included a link to the original FBI transcript of the tape for your perverse entertainment...
