In the aftermath of Jonestown, details emerged of the Temple’s deepening relationship with the Soviet Union, a secret petition to emigrate, and the political paranoia that turned the settlement into a Cold War powder keg. Jim Jones promised salvation behind the Iron Curtain inviting Soviet officials to tour his model socialist community and negotiating an escape plan should Jonestown come under attack.

Tape Q875: the mystery tape, conjures theories that challenge what we think we know leaving more questions than answers.
