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.

You need to add Donald Trump’s cult.
Absolutely!
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.
Thumbs up!
Exactly. Government official are afraid of him because of his cult followers.
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.
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.
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.
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.

“… 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!
Never heard of any of them,
You need to add Donald Trump. He has millions of cults followers and many are very violent. Government officials are afraid of him.
Sorry, honey, as your leader once stated, “elections have consequences,” so grow up, accept it, and quit the usual female whining.
I think we should add Donald Trump and his vice president Elon Musk to the list
So Hitler was not a cult leader??
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.
