Aesopian Language conveys an innocent meaning to outsiders but has a concealed meaning to informed members of an advisarial group. It is based in reference to Aesop's Fables and refers to the idea that certain language use works to suppress concepts or keep them out of the general discourse, or to possibly prevent undesirable questions from arising.

Why Were All Told Jim Jones And Jones Town Were Christians When They Were Communists?
I didn't find out Jim Jones was not a Christian till around 2005. I just found out that he was not only a Communist, but one witness who worked with him testified, in this youtube clip, that he had the mass suicide planned before he ever went to Guyana. Note the name of his organization was the Aesopian wording of "The People's Temple" (simililar to the deceptive communist label of "The People's Repulic"), which should have raised my suspicion long ago if I was paying proper attention. Well, I know now.
Can you imagine the look on the face of any public school teacher who might have a child dig this up and present this before their elementary school class in honor of "Harvey Milk Day".
