"Ricostruire la Realtà: Teorie del complotto su Jonestown"
Di Rebecca Moore ((c) Trad. di Alessia Guidi, 2007)

quarta parte

Note e bibliografia

Note:

[1] Rebecca Moore, "Is the Canon on Jonestown Closed?" Nova Religio
4,1 (October 2000): 7-27.

[2] Sebbene il sito Web contenente "A Bird's-Eye View of the Dr.
Beter AUDIO LETTER (R)" sia mantenuto da Michael Christol, un ufologo
di Owensboro, Kentucky, Christol non sembra essere l'autore del
sommario "Bird's-Eye".

[3] Desidero ringraziare Amanda B. Hensley, studentessa alla Oakland
University di Rochester, Michigan, per avermi fatto notare la
direzione giusta verso alcuni siti cospirazionisti di Internet.

[4] Ho fatto l'ultimo accesso a "The Jonestown Genocide" il 6 maggio
2001 presso <http://www.parascope.com/articles0997/jonestown.html>,
ma il 22 gennaio 2002 il sito non era più online. Un annuncio
informava che nel 2002 il sito si sarebbe trasferito su un server
diverso. Comunque Sterling continua a mantenere links a fonti
cospirazioniste su Jonestown presso
<http://www.konformist.com/vault/jnstwn.htm> [accesso del 22 gennaio
2002].

[5] L'articolo di Farrell, disponibile su nel maggio 2001 su
<http://members.aol.com/stshade/wdu46.html#jones>, non era più online
il 22 gennaio 2002.

[6] Un altro articolo che si affida a tali fonti è "Jonestown, the
CIA, and Mind Control," presso
<http://www.totse.com/en/conspiracy/mind_control/jjones.html> [accesso
del 24 gennaio 2002].

[7] Naturalmente nel mondo del cospirazionismo la mia smentita prova
semplicemente la verità delle affermazioni di Meiers.

[8] L'ironia di tutto questo è che abbiamo fornito a Meiers gran parte
del materiale per il suo libro, e lo abbiamo raccomandato alla Edwin
Mellen Press dopo che il suo volume era stato rifiutato da altri
editori.

[9] Per ulteriori informazioni sulle molestie del governo statunitense
al Tempio dei Popoli, si veda Rebecca Moore, "American As Cherry Pie:
Peoples Temple and Violence in America," Millennialism, Persecution,
and Violence: Historical Cases, ed. Catherine Wessinger (Syracuse NY:
Syracuse University Press, 2000), 121-137. In esso discuto del fatto
che le agenzie del governo statunitense tenevano realmente monitorate
le attività del Tempio dei Popoli, e stavano minacciando in diversi
modi la sopravvivenza del gruppo.
