You're an idiot, "dude"
Anyway, by using an idiotic term like "dude" I now know about how old you are. That explains a whole lot.
Not fully formed yet, eh "dude"?

"Cobb was a part of Jones’s personal security detail but on the day of the tragedy, he was playing in a basketball game in Guyana’s capitol — and refused to return to the commune after learning of the killing of U.S. Congressman Leo Ryan."
Is that like Larry S. having a surprise appointment on the morning of 9/11.
1970 - Guyana becomes a republic within the British Commonwealth with Raymond Arthur Chung as titular president.
1978 - Nine hundred members of a religious sect commit mass suicide at Jonestown, a community established by sect leader Jim Jones.
1980 - Guyana gets a new constitution and Burnham becomes the country's first executive president.
Economic decline, elections

The Guayana government's top pathologist has told the Chicago Tribune he belives that murder, not suicide, claimed more than 700 of the 911 persons who died at the Peoples Temple in Jonestown, Guayana.
"I do not believe there were ever more than 200 persons who died voluntarily," said Dr. C. Leslie Mootoo, chief medical examiner and first doctor at the scence of the Nov. 18 tragedy.
He said that dozens of adult victims whose bodies he examined and died of poison injected into a portion of their upper arms. Mootoo said it is virtually impossible for a person to inject himself in that part of the upper arm.
He said the jungle heat and magnitude of the tragedy made it impossible to conduct autopsies on all 911 bodies. But he said his extensive experience in determining causes of death made him certain of his conclusions at Jonestown.
Mootoo, interviewed in his home in Georgetown, Guayana, said he suspects but cannot prove that cult leader Jim Jones did not commit suicide. He said Jone's body was too badly decomposed to determine exactly how the cult leader died.
"I just don't buy the suicide [theory]," he said. "I don't believe [Jones] was a megalomanic as people have said. I do believe he was power-drunk, but a person like that would never kill himself."
He said he based his conclusions on 70 autopsies performed on victims, as well as his examination of other bodies and an inspection of the scene.
Mootoo has been a witness at a coroner's jury inques into the deaths. The jury is expected to issue a report this week, the Tribune said. Mootoo said the Jonestown deaths occurred over four hours. He said he was convinced most cult members were forced to drink the poison because seeing the first group of people go into convulsions and die "would persuade the others not to take the liquid voluntarily."
He also noted that 260 of the victims were children. "found a 2-year-old child with poison injected into an arm. Could a child that age take his life voluntarily in that way?" he asked.

Yep. And some would have you believe Jones wasn’t a socialist/Marxist.

Walnut will take any opportunity to try and push that socialism is bad and only capitalist offer a glimmer of hope even though that system is why the nations are $75T in the hole.
Walnut is also lacking the knowledge that Judaism is socialism at it's best, . . . if it did not leave all non-Jews out in the cold.

Introduction
The words socialism and socialist were first used about the year 1830 but the origin of the ideas which led to the establishment of the modern labor movement goes back to the time of the French Revolution. For a variety of reasons Jews were attracted to socialism as it developed in Western Europe. Some regarded it as the building of a "just society" based on the teachings of the Bible and the Prophets, while others were attracted by its revolutionary nature. Thus, while some Jews saw socialism as a reply to antisemitism, there were also Jews who saw in it a way of getting rid of their Jewish heritage and serving the cause of the "Brotherhood of Man." Socialism was particularly attractive for Jews anxious to leave the ghetto behind them and who, disappointed with the slow progress of 19th-century liberalism, were keen to embrace a new universal faith.
