November 18th marked the 33rd anniversary of the Jonestown massacre. Paul Krassner recounts some of the dark history of Jim Jones and his movement — much of it little-known and some of it involving San Francisco politics — and the horrific story of the killing of Congressman Ryan and the mass suicide that followed, including dialogue from audio recordings of the event.
