Back on the streets, and some believe would kill again ... I want to know what happened when he was released from prison, and how Jones may be linked to a series of killings that were committed by a man known to police as Jack the Stripper. ibid.
After twenty years of imprisonment the authorities believed the boy who had killed two young girls was fit for release. ibid.
In 1947 Jones eventually surfaced in London. ibid.
He moved to Fulham where he got married and had a daughter. Almost fifteen years after his release from prison a series of killings took place in London not far from Jones’s home. They became known as the Hammersmith Nudes Murders, and the press nicknamed the killer as Jack the Stripper. ibid.
Harold Jones was never questioned. ibid.
In today’s society a child murdering another child for pleasure still shocks us. ibid.
One case continues to intrigue me: a series of murders known as the Hammersmith nude murders. This is the biggest unsolved serial murder case in British criminal history. The killer is even more prolific than Jack the Ripper … He sadistically murdered six women: the killer abducted his victims from what was then the red light district around Shepherd’s Bush in west London; he then proceeded to strangle them, strip them and remove their teeth. Professor David Wilson, Dark Son: The Hunt for a Serial Killer, BBC 2019
A genuine prime suspect … A man who went unnoticed by detectives, a man who as a boy had killed two young girls in the quiet Welsh town of Abertillery; their deaths have eerie parallels with the Jack the Stripper killings … and that man’s name is Harold Jones. ibid.
After leaving prison, Harold Jones moved to London and lived at the heart of Jack the Stripper’s hunting grounds. ibid.
Jones’ psychiatric report reveals him to be an unreformed sexual sadist … With no treatment for the sexual sadism, Harold Jones left prison … He was lost in the fog of war. ibid.
Sexual sadists come in all shapes and sizes; Harold Jones was a sexual sadist even by the age of 15. David Wilson
There is outrage: somebody who could rape, strangle and batter a little girl can’t be part of our community. They must be a stranger to our community to come into our community. David Wilson

Welcome. The People’s Temple’ children’s song
Jonestown: ‘They were murdered. They did not kill themselves … The government has the tapes of people screaming … Guys with guns telling them, ‘Drink it or we’ll shoot you.’ Mark Lane, The Tomorrow Show 1978, cited Citizen Lane 2018
He called it the People’s Temple. At first the church prospered. But Jones had a secret life ... Jones suddenly became of deep interest to the most clandestine department of the agency, whose activities included mind control experiments, attempts to assassinate Fidel Castro, and operations to end, infiltrate and disrupt black organisations. Evidence of Revision V, 2010
The children – he started a thing where he had a paddle with a wooden board. And microphones were put to their mouths so that their screams and cries could be heard even louder. He would do this to all the children. He would do it to all of them to where their butts bled, and say it is OK. Grace Stoen, former Jim Jones’ follower
On 18th November 1978 923 men, women and children were murdered or committed suicide to fulfil the last wish of Jim Jones, leader of the American cult The People’s Temple. Killer Cults: Blinded By the Light, 1999
Nobody’s gonna come out of the sky. There’s no heaven up there. Jim Jones, cited Stanley Nelson, ‘Jim Jones: The Life and Death of the People’s Temple’
I will take your call. We will put it to the Russians. And I can tell you the answer now because I am a prophet. Jim Jones
What’s your sky-God ever done for you? You can’t convey and plead him for help with your suffering. He never gave you any food. He never gave a damn. He never gave you a home. But I, a socialist worker, have given you all of those things. Jim Jones
I want you to be like I am. I want you to become what I am. I want you to enjoy the fearlessness that I have. The courage that I have. The compassion that I have. The love that I have. The all-encompassing mercy that I have. I want you to be what I am and something greater. Jim Jones
I am freedom. I am peace. I am justice. I am equality. I am God. Jim Jones
I am peerless. Jim Jones
Some people see me as the representative of the I Am. A Jehovah-Jarah. Some people see a great deal of God in my body. They see Christ in me. A hope of glory. Jim Jones
We are under the onslaught of a direct move of a mercenary fascist effort. Jim Jones, Guyana address over loudspeaker
People play games, friend. They lie, they lie. What can I do about lies? Leave us, I just beg you, please leave us. Bill, we will bother nobody. Anybody who wants to get out here can get out of here. Jim Jones to Congressman Ryan’s party
So my opinion is that we be kind to children, and we be kind to seniors, and take the portion like they used to take in ancient Greece, and step over quietly. Because we are not committing suicide; it’s a revolutionary act. We can’t go back. They won’t leave us alone. They’re now going back to tell more lies, which means more Congressmen, and there’s no way, no way we can survive. Jim Jones, Jonestown, Guyana, address to followers
Free at last. Keep – keep your emotions down. Keep your emotions down. Children, it will not hurt. If you’d be – if you’ll be quiet. If you’ll be quiet. Jim Jones, Jonestown, Guyana
For God’s sakes let’s get on with it. We lived as no other people have lived. We’ve loved. We’ve had as much of this world as you are going to get. Let’s just be done with it. Let’s be done with the agony of it. Jim Jones
We laid it down. We got tired. We committed an act of revolutionary suicide protesting the conditions of an inhumane world. Jim Jones, cited Stanley Nelson, Jim Jones: The Life and Death of the People’s Temple
Die with a degree of dignity. Lay down your life with dignity. Don’t lay down with tears and agony. There’s nothing to death. Jim Jones
How very much I’ve loved you. How very much I’ve tried my best to give you a good life. Jim Jones, Jonestown, Guyana
We had a lady who visited us a week ago here and was speaking to one of the [inaudible] and was a member of a prominent church – a pastor’s wife – and she said I think that the poor should be made to control how many children they bring into the Earth – you remember? Some leading scientists say we have to have euthanasia. Oh no! Oh no! Who’s going to decide who and when a person’s going to die? We must never allow that because this is the kind of thing that ushers in the terror of a Hitler’s Germany. Reverend Jim Jones, The People’s Temple, cited Stanley Nelson ‘Jim Jones: The Life and Death of the People’s Temple’
He said, I am the only God you will ever see. Jerry Furay, former follower of Jim Jones
And pretty soon he would shake his fist at the sky and say, There is no God. If there is a God, then strike me dead. And then he would take a Bible that he kept on the pulpit for that express purpose, and throw it to the floor and spit on it. Bonnie Thielman, Jones’ adopted daughter
I received a lot of information that I show you here today that indicates a strong possibility that Jonestown and the People’s Temple was in reality a mass mind control experiment conducted by the CIA as a follow up to something called M K Ultra which they conducted from the early ’50s through 1974. Male witness, cited Evidence for Revision IV
In November 1978 the world was stunned by dramatic pictures and stories about Reverend Jim Jones and the mass suicide of hundreds of people in Jonestown, Guyana. While the deaths were real, the stories were fabrications created to cover up the theft of more than $26,000,000 ... by corrupt politicians.
