Reverend Jim Jones (1962 the Apocalypse)
Jim Jones was an American preacher and communist guerilla leader.

Early life:
Jim Jones was born in a rural area of Randolph County, Indiana, near its border with Ohio. Jones was a voracious reader as a child and studied Joseph Stalin, Karl Marx, Mahatma Gandhi and Adolf Hitler, carefully noting each of their strengths and weaknesses. Jones married nurse Marceline Baldwin in 1949, and moved to Bloomington, Indiana. He attended Indiana University at Bloomington, where a speech by Eleanor Roosevelt about the plight of African Americans impressed him. Jones' sympathetic statements about communism offended Marceline's grandmother. In 1951, Jones moved to Indianapolis .Jones began attending Communist Party meetings and rallies in 1951. He was quite concerned with the excommunication of open communists in the United States. Jones eventually came up with the idea to use the church as a platform to safely demonstrate his Marxism. Jones founded a religious organization known as the People’s Temple in 1956. In 1960, Jones was appointed director of Indianapolis’s Human Rights Commission.

1961 to 1980
Jones moved to Belo Horizonte in Brazil with several followers during early 1962 because he genuinely feared that nuclear war would soon break out between the United States and the Soviet Union
