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".
