3. Marshall Applewhite

Applewhite is the founder of Heaven’s Gate, a cult that believed a spaceship that was following the Hale-Bopp comet would pick them up, and as a result, they would become part of a higher plane of this existence.

The date this comet was the closest to the Earth was March 22, 1997. As you would expect, since we are talking about cult leaders, things turned dark very quickly. On March 26, 1997, Applewhite and other 38 members of Haven’s Gate were found dead in a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe.

All 39 of them were dressed in brand-new identical black shirts and sweat pants and were also wearing new black-and-white Nike Decades. In the pockets of each individual were found a five-dollar bill and three-quarters.

Police ruled out that this was a mass suicide, and all of the members drank a mix of drugs and applesauce. It all happened after the group gathered at a restaurant and had the last meal together. All ordered the same dish.

Applewhite was born in Texas in 1931, and before becoming the founder of this cult, he used to be a music teacher. Heaven’s Gate was a secluded group of people who believed in various UFO concepts and combined them with ideas from the Bible.

Recruits believed that the next step in their life would be to be biologically and chemically transformed into extraterrestrial beings, and then they would be transported into a spaceship.

    1. If you’re talking in the past
      20 years, yes he needs to be on the list. However if you’re talking about 2,000 years of human history, there are worse people that have been responsible for Mass death and suicide.

    2. I’d say that the Child Genital Mutilation cult that you’re a part of deserves first place on this list.

    3. You will notice its always left leaning liberals that fall for the cults. Trump may be a ditz but I doubt he could manage a cult like following.

    4. Definitely a cult leader. I can’t see how so many people are still falling for his S______T. He will throw them under the bus, in the deep sea, firery furnance, over the cliff, into a volcano just to save his own soul. Don’t trust him any farther than I can throw him. He need to get somewhere and sit down. He called another politician “Lying Ted Cruz “, put people lives in danger and denies everything on January 6, and they still support him. But his day is coming. God sees everything and hears.

    5. you got that right, he is the worst kind of cult leader now he owns America, and he can give us to Russia at any moment, no wonder why they love the color red so much

    6. Ms. Brown I totally agree with your statement. DJT and all associates should have been listed. He brings the greatest new danger to us all. IMHO.

    7. so says the lady who gets her news from MSNBC and CNN, two “news channels” that has done nothing but tells lies for the last 8 years
      and she thinks she is informed.

    8. When some people leave their beliefs in religion and Jesus/God behind they eventually need to find a new leader and belief system and that opens the door to cults, notorious groups, and their leaders.

    9. There is no Trump cult, but Americans who feel this country had been drained of its common sense and is headed in the wrong direction.

    10. Yes, watch YouTube video, “TRUMP’S 40-YEAR ENTANGLEMENT WITH FBI AND ORGANIZED CRIME.” And read the book, THE MAFIA, CIA & GEORGE BUSH, by Pete Brewton.

  1. “… a few altercations with California congressman Leo Ryan …”

    Altercations? His henchman murdered Mr. Ryan and his staff when the came to Guyana to investigate. Quite a detail to omit!

  2. Jones WAS NOT a casualty of the massacre. It escaped to Russia with over four million dollars in diamonds that belonged to the people and at the time of al the killings that was well known. In addition, all the bodies of the cult were erturned to the U.S. at taxpayer expense (over five milion dollars) and then buried here ’cause Guyana would not bear the cost of the burials.

  3. The worst living cult leader has to be Donald Trump.
    To be able to influence so many people and with so many lies…to be a convicted criminal and yet stand to be a leader of the free world..has to see anyone coming close to him.

  4. Stop sending, take me off of yr list. This is the last of yr emails I’ll open because they’re just mainly advertising.

  5. You need to add Donald Trump. He has millions of cults followers and many are very violent. Government officials are afraid of him.

  6. Watch YouTube Video, “YRUMP’S 40-YEAR ENTANGLEMENT WITH FBI AND ORGANIZED CRIME.” Then read the book, THE MAFIA, CIA & GEORGE BUSH, by honorable Pete Brewton. Teflon Don is a con pathological zombie cult leader as is FauxNews propaganda leaders.

  7. Watch YouTube video by FBI. “”TRUMP’S 40-YEAR ENTANGLEMENT WITH FBI AND ORGANIZED CRIME.” Russian that is! And read the book, The MAFIA, CIA & GEORGE BUSH, by honorable Pete Brewton!

  8. There is NO story here! Just a gazillion advertisements, some click bait. Useless to put this on here. Just shut this stuff down!!

  9. Sorry, honey, as your leader once stated, “elections have consequences,” so grow up, accept it, and quit the usual female whining.

  10. another example of this is the KOJC (Kingdom Of Jesus Christ) headed by Apollo Quiboloy who claimed as the Appointed Son of God. He is wanted by the FBI and is now detained at Pasig City jail in the Philippines.
    His alleged crimes are human trafficking, sexual abuse, etc. and is running for senator. This Quiboloy is a close friend of the former president Duterte whose daughter Sara the current VP was impeached by the lower house and to be tried by the Senate.
    Cult leaders uses money, political connections to project power and abuse unsuspecting members.

  11. Trump Derangement Syndrome (TDS) is real, and creates fatigue everywhere it goes. We have 4 years of his first term — low inflation, lower taxes, secure border, lower gas prices, best employment numbers for Blacks and Hispanics since records began. Then we have the disaster of Biden — open borders, debacle withdrawal from Afghanistan, record inflation due to excessive spending, high gas prices, food prices, housing prices. Not to mention the Biden Crime Family, Hunter’s Laptop. Read Tapper’s book — we were right all along while Democrats and the media (oh, I repeat myself) lied to our faces (read Tapper’s book).
    Now a hundred days in, the border is again closed, criminals are being deported (with Democrats siding with illegal alien criminals rather than American victims), energy is flowing, gas prices decreasing, and depravity (Epstein, Diddy and nearly all of Hollywood, DeGenerous, Winfrey,) being exposed, Leftist Lawfare being overturned. Win, win, win.
