Almost three decades ago an unusual series of events led to the deaths of more than 900 people in the middle of a South American jungle. Though dubbed a "massacre," what transpired at Jonestown on November 18, 1978, was to some extent done willingly, making the mass suicide all the more disturbing.

Well, similar kind of Cultists are apparently seeking to start World War III against Iran, and its allies China, and Russia.  These apparent Cultists are apparently seeking to rigidly follow their interpretation of Christianity's Book of Revelation.

The Jonestown cult (officially named the "People's Temple") was founded in 1955 by Indianapolis preacher James Warren Jones. Jones, who had no formal theological training, based his liberal ministry on a combination of religious and socialist philosophies.
