I was doing a internet research on Jim Jones and his people's temple. Now I've seen documentries and seen the survivors of the tragic Jonestown mass murderder/suicide so I just wanted to see what the web had to offer. Now my question refers to how many whack jobs out there I found where in favor of Jim Jones, that he was a good man and that the US govt killed those 900 people not Jimmy jones and other absurd conspiracy theories!
I mean are people this warped to close their minds to the obvious? Are people so hard up for conspiracy theories even in the blatant light of facts and truth? survivors gave sworn testimony to the brutal treatment of Jones and the way people couldnt escape jonestown. So why do you think people want to cling to some whack theory in light of truth and make a evil cruel tyrant a good man?

Yes to all the above.
9/11 was a plot by the US Government and the moon landing never occurred are prime examples.
And there are thousands more.
The whacked out seem to be a significant minority of communicators.
There is a corollary there someplace, but I can't come up with it at the moment.
Why do paranoids want to spread the word of their fears?
It could be that they want to save humanity by warning others of
dangers that they see.
We need a professional here.

To answer that, you'll have to explain the other conspiracy theories, like the people who say the government caused 9/11. It's the same im-mentality

Ya know.That is exactly what happens when the US government lies to it's own people about other things.You remember JFK,Roswell,WMD's,Gulf of Tonkin,etc.etc.People do not know what is true or false as long as they rely solely on the government for their information.

some people choose to not believe in the obvious, they are just hard headed.
some people will believe in things without any reason.
