    Maria is the same one that's in the death tape saying the koolaid (laced with cyanide) isn't causing the children pain, that it's just a little bitter tasting...

    I'm pretty sure whoever was listening to them speak was thinking who gives a shit about any of this? Looking back on it, it's hilarious that these people that were in Jonestown actually think that anybody really gave a shit what they were doing down there. They were a group of nobody's that weren't doing anything of significance. They were in the middle of a jungle in the middle of nowhere South America. It wasn't like they were posing a real threat to anybody. It's not like the American government and military were afraid of them doing anything. All of this was a bunch of meaningless nonsense.

    actually at least 2 of these people i know for sure were just as crazy as Jones and were his right hand associates and preached the same thing as him and loyally followed him Maria Katsaris can be heard in multiple recordings supporting everything Jim is saying and even berating other members along with Jim, she can be heard clearly in "the death tape" telling the children to keep calm as they're being poisoned and she even helped mix the cyanide koolade mix Wesley Breidenbach was always up with Jones in the community meetings in the pavilion and acted as a sort of general, and assumed a role of assistant to Jones. threating other members and cursing at them alongside Jones

    There is evidence that the CIA and the Green Berets were involved in the killing at Jonestown. The people at Jonestown or at least this particular woman was aware that something was brewing in the terms of an infiltration and a mass killing.
