Jonestown conspiracy theory is a conspiracy theory about Jonestown and the Jonestown massacre, with many proponents of the conspiracy theory contending that outside forces were somehow involved in what occurred at the commune, including the massacre. The conspiracy theory is most often accompanied by the assertion that the events in Jonestown represented CIA efforts at mind control and/or similar modes of social experimentation, often believed by proponents of such theories to be a covert continuation of Project MKULTRA. It differs from "popular or scholarly explanations of what happened in Jonestown".

Famous quotes containing the words conspiracy and/or theory:
“America is a vast conspiracy to make you happy.”
—John Updike (b. 1932)
“No one thinks anything silly is suitable when they are an adolescent. Such an enormous share of their own behavior is silly that they lose all proper perspective on silliness, like a baker who is nauseated by the sight of his own eclairs. This provides another good argument for the emerging theory that the best use of cryogenics is to freeze all human beings when they are between the ages of twelve and nineteen.”
—Anna Quindlen (20th century)
