The Navy have been asked by the San Francisco board of supervisors to honor Harvey Milk. The San Francisco Board of Supervisors has voted 9-2 in favour of the move. Milk was a prominent homosexual activist in San Francisco in the 1970s, but was gunned down by fellow board member Dan White in 1978.

Now Milk’s memory is revered amongst the homosexual community not only in San Francisco but across America.

However, what is less well known is Milk’s connections to Jim Jones.

Jim Jones was the leader of the People’s Temple. Jones cult organisation campaigned for Milk and other San Francisco politicians, like Mayor Mascone. Jim Jones’ is even reported to have bused in his followers from Redwood, California, to vote in the mayoral elections, which saw Mascone elected.

The liberal left elite were even reluctant to investigate Jones when allegations of financial irregularities began to emerge. The People’s Temple ended in tragedy with the mass suicide of Jones followers in Jonestown Guyana.

The liberal left are still trying to write Jones’s out of Harvey Milk’s life. In the movie, Milk, starring Sean Penn, there was no Jim Jones figure. Why would this be, given he played such a vital role in the political landscape of San Francisco at that time?
