JONES: I've tried my all-time to give you a good life.
In spite of all that I've tried, a handful of our people, with their lies, have made our life impobsible. There's no way to disassemble ourself from what'southward happened today.
Post-obit are excerpts from a transcript of a record recording obtained past The New York Times from the International name Video ClubInc. of New York. It pur‐†Portii to exist a recording 9f the final 43 minutes of the mass deathl at Jonestown, • Griyana, lust November. 18, in which the followers of the Rev. Jim Jones died. Sources who are familiar with Investigations of the People'due south Temple have indicated that the contents of this tape are identical with portions of the Government‐held record that have been disclosed over the final few mangle.
Not only are nosotros in a compound situation; non just are there those who take left and ,committed the betrayal of the century; some have stolen children from others and they are in pursuit right now to kill them, because they stole their children. And we are sitting hither waiting on a pulverisation keg.
So, tosit here and wilt for the catastrophe that's going to happen on that airplane — it's going to be a catastrophe. Information technology well-nigh happened here. About happened when the Congressman was nearly killed here. You can't steal people's children. Y'all can't have off with people'southward children without expecting a vehement reaction. And that's not so tmfamiller to united states of america, either, even if we- even if we were Judeo‐Christian — if we weren't Communists, The world opinion suffers violence and the violent shall take it by force. If we tin't live in peace and so let's dice in peace. [Applause.]
Nosotros've been and then betrayed. We have been then terribly betrayed. I/dusk: and singing.]
What's going to happen hither in affair of a few minutes is that one of those people on that plane is going to shoot the airplane pilot — I know that. I didn't plan it, but I know it'south going to happen. They're gonna shoot that pilot and down comes that aeroplane into the jungle.
And we had improve not have whatever of our children left when it's over: Because they'll parachute in here onus.
I'm going to be simply as plahyas t know how to tell yous. I've never lied to you. never have lied to yotie I .know that's what's gonna happen lbat's what he intends to do; and he will practise information technology. He'll exercise information technology.
What'southward with being then bewildered with many, many pressures on my encephalon seeing all people .behave and then treasonous ‐there was jupt too much for me to put together. Only I now know what he was telling me. And it'll happen. If 'the 'Plane gets in the air even.
So my opinion is that you be kind to children, and be kind to seniors, andtake the potion like they used to accept in Ancient Hellenic republic, and footstep over quietly; considering we are not committing suicide — it's a revolutionary human action. We can't go back; they won't leave the states 'alone: They're at present going back to tell more lies, which means more‐Congressmen. And there's noway, no way we tin survive.
Anybody. Anyone that has any dissenting stance, please speak. Yes. You tin can accept an opportunity, just if the children are left, we're going to have them butchered. We can make a strike, merely we'll be striking against people that nosotros don't want to strike against. We'd like to get the people who caused this stuff; and some — if some people hither are prepared and know how to practise that, to go grand boondocks and get Timothy Stoen, only at that place's no plane. There's no plane. You can't grab a plane in time.
'They'll Non Accept Our Decease in Vain'
He'south responsible for information technology. He brought these people to us. He and Deanna Myrtle. The people in San Francisco will not = not be idle. Or would they? They'll non accept our decease in vain, you know. Yeah.
WOMAN: Is it too belatedly for Russian federation?
JONES: At this bespeak, it's too belatedly for Russian federation. They killed. They started to kill. That's why it makes it besides late for Russia. Otherwise, I'd say, yeah, sir, yous bet your life. But it's as well late. I_can't control these people. They're out there. They've gone with the guns. And information technology'southward too late. And in one case we impale anybody — at to the lowest degree, that's the way I've always- I've always put my lot with y'all jf i of my people do something, that'southward me. And they say I don't have to have the
arraign for this — just I don't alive that mode. They said, deliver upwards Ejar; we tried to get the homo back here. Ejar, whose mother'south been lying on him, and lying on him, and trying, to interruption up this family. And they've all agreed to kill us by any means necessary. Do you think I'thousand going to deliver them Ejar? Not on your life.
Homo: I know .a mode to find Stoen if information technology'll help usa.
JONES: No. You're not going. You lot 're non going. You're not going.,i can't live that way. I cannot live that way. I've lived with — for all; I'll die for all. [Applause.]
I've been living on promise for a long time, Christine and I appreciate you've always been a very skilful agitator. I like agitation, because y'all accept to see two sides of one event‐two sides of a question.
But what those people are gonna become done; and what they go through will make our lives worse than hell. Will make us — will brand the rest of us non accept it. When they get through lying.
They posed so many lies between there and that truck that we are — we are done in as far as any other alternative.
Woman: Well, I say permit's make an air — airlift to Russian federation. That'due south what I say. I don't retrieve nothing is incommunicable, if y'all believe it.
JONES: How are we going to do that? Horace you going to airlift to Russia? .
Adult female: Well, I idea they said if we got in an emergency, they gave you a code to let them know.
JONES: No, they didn't. They gave usa a lawmaking that they'd permit us know on that upshot; non us create an upshot for them. They said that we — if they saw the country coming down they'd give u.s.a. a code. They'd give united states of america a lawmaking. Nosotros can cheque on that and see if it'due south on the lawmaking. Did y'all check with Russia to see if they'll have u.s.a. in a minute only otherwise we die?
I don't know what else to say to these people. But to me death is not a fearful thing. It's living that's cursed. I. have never, never, never, never seen anything like this earlier in my life. I've never seen people take the law and do — in their own hands and provoke the states and try to purposely agitate female parent of children. There is no need to finish us; it'due south not worth living similar this. Not worth living like this.
Adult female: I think that in that location were besides few who left for 1,200 people to requite them their lives for those people that left.
JONES: Do you know how many left?
WOMAN: Oh, 20‐odd. That's a minor
JONES: Some 20 odd.
Woman: Compared to what's here.
'What's Gonna Happen?'
JONES : 20‐odd. But what'southward gonna happen when they don't leave? I hope that they could leave. But what's gonna happen when they don't exit?
WOMAN: You lot mean the people here?
JONES: Yeah, what's going to happen to us when they don't leave, when they n ? go on the airplane and the plane goes downward?
Woman: I don't think they'll become down.
JONES: .You lot don't think they'll go down? I wish I could.tell you lot was right ‐but I'm correct. In that location's one man in that location who blames, and rightfully so, Judy Blakey for the murder — for the murder of his mother, and he'll — he'll stop that airplane pilot by whatever means necessary. He'll do information technology. That aeroplane'll come out of the air. There's no manner you fly a airplane without a pilot.
WOMAN: I wasn't speaking about that plane. I was speaking about a plane for the states to get to Russia.
JONES: How — To Russian federation? You recollect Russia'due south gonna want — no — You think Russia's gonna want us with all this stigma? We had some value, simply now we don't have whatsoever value.
WOMAN: Well I don't run into it like that. I hateful, I feel like that — equally long as there's life there's hope. That's my faith.
JONES: Well, some — everybody dies. Some place that hope runs out; because everybody dies. I haven't seen anybody yet didn't die. And I like to cull my own kind of decease for a change. I'm tired of being tormented to hell, that'due south what I'm tired of. Tired of it. [Adulation.]
To take other people's lives in my hands, and I certainly don't want your life in my hands. I'm going to tell you lot, Christine, without me, life has no pregnant. [Applause.] I'm the best thing you lot'll ever accept.
I want — want — I have to pay — I'm standing with [inaudible]. I'g standing with those people. They're part of me. I could detach myself my attorney says, detach myself. No, no, no, no, no, no. I never detach myself from any of your troubles. I've always taken your troubles right on my shoulders. And I'm non going to change that now Information technology's too late. I've been running too long. Not going to modify now. (Applause.)
Maybe the next fourth dimension you lot'll become to become to Russia. The next time round. This is — what I'm talking about at present is the impunity of judgment. This is a revolutionary — a revolutionary suicide council. I'm not talking nigh self — self‐destruction. I'm talking nigh. what we take no other road. I will have your call; we will put information technology to the Russians. And I tin can tell you the respond now, because I'm a prophet. Call the Russians and tell them and encounter if they'll take us.
WOMAN: I said I'thousand not prepare to die. JONES: I don't think yous are.
Adult female: But I know what you meant.
JONES: I don't think you lot are.
WOMAN: But I look at all the babies and I think they deserve to live.
JONES: But don't they deserve much more—they deserve peace.
Adult female: Nosotros all came here for peace.
JONES: And we've — accept we had it?
Adult female: No.
JONES: I tried to give it to you. I've laid downwards my life, practically. I've practically died every 24-hour interval to give you peace. And you withal not have any peace. You await improve than I've seen you in a long while but it's still non the kind of peace that I want to requite you.
Woman: I know that. But I still think, as an individual, I take a right to —
JONES: Yoh do, and I'm listening.
Woman: — to say what I call back, what I feel. And I call up we all have a right to air own destiny as individuals.
JONES: Right.
Woman: And I think I take a correct to choose mine and everybody else has a correct to choose theirs.
JONES: Yes. I'yard not criticizing.
WOMAN: Well I think I even so accept a correct my ain Opinion.
JONES: I'm not taking it from you. I'grand not taking It from yous.
'Your Life Has Been Extended'
Human: Christine, you're only continuing hither considering he was here in the first place. So I don't know what you're talking nigh, having an individual life. Your life has been extended to the twenty-four hours that y'all're continuing there considering of him.
JONES: I gauge she has as much correct to speak as anybody else to. What did you say, Ruby? (Voice.] Well you'll regret that, this very day if you don't die. You'll regret information technology if you exercise though y'all don't dice. You'll regret it.
JONES: I saved them. I saved them, but I made my example. I fabricated my expression. I made my manifestation and the globe was set up, not prepare for me. Paul said I was a homo born out of due season. I've been born out of due flavour, just like all nosotros are — and the best testimony we can make is to go out this goddamn world. [Adulation.]
Woman- : You must prepire to dice.
WOMAN: I'm not talking to hers Will you allow — would you let her or let me talk?
JONES: Keep talking.
. Adult female: Would you make her 'down and let me talk while I'yard on the floor or let her talk.
JONES: How tin you tell the leader what to practice if you live? I've listened to you. You asked me about Russia. I'M right now making a telephone call to Russia. What more practice yous suggest? I'yard listening to you. You'ye yet to give me one slight fleck of encouragement. I Just now … to go in that location and do'that.

MAN: I'1000 ready to go. If yous tell u.s.a. we have to requite our lives now, we're prepare — all the rest of the sisters and brothers are with me.
JONES:• Some months I've tried to keep this thing from happening. Only I now see information technology'due south the will — it's the will of Sovereign Being that this happened to u.s.a.. That we lay down our lives in protest against what's been washed.
That nosotros lay down our lives to protest at what's being done. The criminality of people. The cruelty of people. Who walked out of here today. Do you know who walked out. Mostly white people. [Voices.] Mostly white people walked.
'We Are Built-in Before Our Time'
I'thou and so grateful for the ones that didnic — those who knew who they are. 'just know there's no point — there's no point to this. Nosotros are born before our time. They won't accept united states. And I don't recall we should sit here and take any more time for our children to exist endangered; considering if they come after our children, we give them our children, and so our children will endure forever.

JONES: Bankrupt Your centre, didn't it? WOMAN: It broke ‐my heart completely. All of this yr the white people had been with us and they're not a function of us. So we might every bit well stop information technology at present; considering I don't see [Music and

They came into our ;home. They followed us half-dozen,000 miles abroad. Crimson Brigade showed them justice. The Congressman's dead.
Delight get united states some medication. Unproblematic. It's uncomplicated, in that location's no convulsions with it. Information technology's just elementary. But, please, get it. Before information technology's as well tardily. The £.D.F. will be here. I tell you, get movin', get movin', get movin'. [Voices.]
Don't be afraid to die. You'll see people land out here. They'll torture some of our children hither. They'll torture our people. They'll torture our seniors. We cannot have this.

WOMAN: Some of the others who are ... long enough in a safe place to write about ..
JONES: I don't know how in the world they're e'er going to write about usa. It'due south simply also late. Its also belatedly. The Congressman's dead. The ... Many of our . . are expressionless. They're all laying out at that place dead.

They're not crying from pain; WO just a petty bitter‐tasting, they're not crying out of whatever pain. Annie Miguel, can delight see y'all dorsum …
Human being: And so much to do earlier I came hither. So permit me tell you well-nigh information technology. It might make a lot of yous feel a lilliputian more than comfy. Sit down and exist quiet, please.
One of the things that I used to practise, used to be a therapist. And the kind of therapy that I did had to do with rein; carnation in past life situations. And every time everyone had an experience of going into a past life. I was fortunate enough through father to be able to let them experience it all the style through their death, and so to speak. .
And everybody was so happy when they made that step to the other side.
JONES: When y'all step to — there'southward zippo y'all can do but step that way. It's the only manner to step.
MAN: The selection is not ours now. Information technology'south out of our bands.
MAN: If you have a body that's been bedridden, all of a sudden you have the kind of body that you desire to take. It feels good, just never felt so good- I tell you lot. You lot've never felt so good as how that feels.
JONES: And I do hope that — those attorirya will stay where they belong and don't come up hither. What is it? What is information technology? It's what? Information technology'due south difficult. It's hard. Information technology'due south Bard. Only at commencement is information technology hard. It's hard just at showtime. Living, you're looking at death. Information technology only looks — living is much, much more difficult. Rise in the morning and not knowing what's going to be the nighttime's bringing. It'southward much more difficult. It's much more than difficult.
WOMAN: I just desire to say something for everyone that I run into that is standing effectually, or crying. This is nothing to cry about. This is something we could all rejoice most. We could be happy about this. They e'er told us that we could cry when yous're canting into this globe. So nosotros're leaving it, and we're leaving information technology peaceful, I think we should exist‐y'all should exist happy about this. I was but thinking about Jim Jones. He but has suffered and suffered and suffered. We have the honor guard and we don't even have a chance to … here one more risk. That'southward few that's gone. At that place'southward many more hither … That'southward non all of united states of america. That'due south non all, all the same. That'southward just a few that take died. I'1000 looking' at so many people crying. I wish you would not cry. [Applause.] I've been here one year and nine months. And I never felt better in my life. Non in San Francisco, only until I came to Jonestown. I had a … life. I had a beautiful life. I don't see zip that I should be- crying about. We shotild exist happy. At least I am —„[Applause.]

Woman:- I'm glad that yous're my brothers and sisters: I'chiliad glad to be here. [Voices.]
JONES: Please, for God's sake, allow'due south get on with it. We've lived — we've lived equally no other people lived and loved. Nosotros've had as much of this world as you're gonna get. Let's just begone with it. Let's exist washed with the desperation of information technology. [Adulation.]
JONES: It's far, far harder to take to walk through every twenty-four hours, dice slowly — and from the fourth dimension you're a kid till the time you get grayness, you lot're dying.
Dishonest, and I'g sure that they'll — they'll pay for information technology. They'll pay for it. This is a revolutionary suicide. This is not a self‐subversive suicide. So they'll pay for this. They brought this upon u.s.a.. And theyll pay for that. I go out that destiny to them.
[Voices.]
JONES: — wants to go with their child has a right to go with their child. I retrieve ft's humane. I want to go— I want to encounter yous go, though. They tin can take me and do what they desire —. whatever they want to practice. I want to see you go. I don't desire to run into you get through this hell no more. No more. No more. No more.
We'te trying. If everybody — relax. The best thing you lot practice to relax and y'all won't have no problem. Yous'll accept no problem with this thing. If you simply relax.
MAN: — a great bargain because it's Jim 'Jones. And the way the children are laying there at present, I'd rather encounter them lay like that than to Meet them have to die similar the Jews did, which was pitiful anyhow. And I just like to thank Dad, who give them this life,‐and also expiry. And I capeesh ‐the fact the Style our children are going. Considering, like Dad said, when they come up in, what they're going to do to our children —they'regoing to massacre our children.
And besides the onesthat they take capture, they're gcinna just let them grow up and be dummies, like they want them to be. And non grow upwardly tote a person like the one and only Jim Jones. So I'd similar to thank dad for the opportunity for letting Jonestown be not what it could be, but what Jonestown is. Give thanks yous, Dad.
[Applause.]

Taking united states of america through all these anguish years. They took us and put us In chains and that's nothing. This business concern — that business concern — in that location'southward no comparison to that, to this.
'We Tried to Find a New Beginning'
They've robbed us of our laud and they've taken u.s.a. and driven us and we tried to observe ourselves. We tried to notice ‐a new starting time. But.information technology's also late. You lot tin't divide yourself from your brother and your sister. No mode I'm going to do it f refuse. I don't know who fired the shot. I don't know who killed the Congressman. But as far every bit I'yard concerned I killed him. Y'all understand what I'm saying. I killed him. He had no business coming. I told him not to come.
WOMAN: Right. Right. [Music.]

JONES: I, with respect, dice with the beginning of dignity. Lay down your life with nobility. Don't lay downward with tears and 'desperation. Information technology's nothing to death. It'southward like Mac said, it's just stepping over to another plane. Don't exist this way. Stop this hysterics. This Is not the way for people who are Socialists‐or Communists to die. No way for united states of america to die. We Must die with some dignity. ; . . nosotros accept no choice. Now, We take some pick. Do you call back they're gonna alloy this to be done? And allow us to become bYr with this? Y'all must be insane. — children, k's only something to put you to rest. Oh God.

Information technology's never been done before, you lot say. It'southward been washed by every tribe in history.. Every tribe facing annihilation. All the Indians of the Amazon are doing it right now. They refuse to bring whatever babies into the earth. They impale every child that comes into the world. Because they don't want to live in this kind of a world.
So be patient: Exist patient. Death is I tell y'all, I don't intendance how many screams yous hear;. I don't care how many anguished cries, death is a million times preferable to spend more days in this life. If you knew what was ahead of you — if you knew what was ahead of you, you'd be glad to be stepping over tonight.
Death, expiry, death is mutual to people. And the Eskimos, they take death in their step. Let's be digit let'south exist dignified. If you quit telling them they're dying — if you would also end sobie of this nonsense — adults, adults, I call on yous to cease this non sense.
