JonesTown Massacre Well alot People should be familiar with the Religious Massacre that took the life of 900 Americans including Children and pregnant Women , Like many on our list , Jones Belived he heard from God and would rely this to his already devout followers .Until the September 11th attacks, the tragedy in Jonestown on November 18th, 1978 ,Jones convinced all of his followers who died after drinking poison at the urge and soothing voice of their Pastor, the Reverend Jim Jones, in a secluded South American jungle settlement. Photographs taken after the carnage forever document the sheer enormity of the event: the bodies of hundreds of people, including children, lying face down in the grass. Nearly 40 years later, the infamous and horrific event continues to fascinate us through numerous books, articles and documentaries His Temple had a membership estimated in the thousands and was courted by local politicians in San Francisco, including Harvey Milk. But by 1977, Jones had grown paranoid from the media scrutiny over the Temple’s suspicious activities, so he and his numerous followers moved to an agricultural settlement (a.k.a. Jonestown) in Guyana, the remote country east of Venezuela his need to control people, his deceit, and his anger toward people who betray or abandon him – could be traced to his childhood in Indiana. A loner during his youth, Jim would entertain his playmates in the loft of his family’s barn and made them his captive audience (one time, he even locked up his young friends in the barn). He performed experiments on animals and conducted funerals for them. Jones Moved all 900 of his Followers to South America fearing a 'Nuclear War' He would then buy thousands of Acres of Land he would later call JamesTown to Murder his Avid Followers Jones would later compel them to drink Cups of wine laced with Cyanide, in his words " if they don't allow us to live in peace then they should allow us die in peace" after this chilling statement was surprisingly answered by equally Chilling response of resounding sounds of hallelujah , Amen! believing they were the righteous to be saved from the Earths Coming Damnation, they all did s he said , Jones will later flee from the Scene but would commit suicide later after the immense manhunt for the preacher

HEAVEN'S GATE KILLINGS Following an anonymous tip, police enter a mansion in Rancho Santa Fe, an exclusive suburb of San Diego, California, and discover 39 victims of a mass suicide. The deceased 21 women and 18 men of varying ages—were all found lying peaceably in matching dark clothes and Nike sneakers and had no noticeable signs of blood or trauma. It was later revealed that the men and women were members of the “Heaven’s Gate” religious cult, whose leaders preached that suicide would allow them to leave their bodily “containers” and enter an alien spacecraft hidden behind the Hale-Bopp comet. The cult was led by Marshall Applewhite, a music professor who, after surviving a near-death experience in 1972, was recruited into the cult by one of his nurses, Bonnie Lu Nettles. In 1975, Applewhite and Nettles persuaded a group of 20 people from Oregon to abandon their families and possessions and move to eastern Colorado, where they promised that an extraterrestrial spacecraft would take them to the “kingdom of heaven.” Nettles, who called herself “Ti,” and Applewhite, who took the name of “Do,” explained that human bodies were merely containers that could be abandoned in favor of a higher physical existence. As the spacecraft never arrived, membership in Heaven’s Gate diminished, and in 1985 Bonnie Lu Nettles, Applewhite’s “sexless partner,” died. During the early 1990s, the cult resurfaced as Applewhite began recruiting new members. Soon after the 1995 discovery of the comet Hale-Bopp, the Heaven’s Gate members became convinced that an alien spacecraft was on its way to earth, hidden from human detection behind the comet. In October 1996, Applewhite rented a large home in Rancho Santa Fe, explaining to the owner that his group was made up of Christian-based angels. Applewhite advocated sexual abstinence, and several male cult members followed his example by undergoing castration operations. Nettles died of liver cancer in 1985, but Applewhite (seen here) continued to lead the group. About 5 years later, the group isolated themselves from their friends, family and the public, and relied on the internet to recruit new members. AppleWhite would later Air publicly of the one time Mass movement to heavens Gate , by means of no other than Suicide. 1 Like

CHARLES MANSON Charles Manson was an American Charismatic Leader ,Religion head and an American Psychopathic criminal, although never 'killed anybody' but manipulated young hippie minded runaway followers of his to commit murderous campaigns, the Manson Family cult, that would make him one of the most infamous figures in criminal history. Notorious for his connection to the brutal slayings of pregnant actress Sharon Tate( who casually pleaded not for her live but her child, as she laid in her pool of blood }, Manson received the death penalty in 1971, a sentence that was commuted to life in prison the following year. Manson was born Charles Milles Maddox on November 12, 1934, in Cincinnati, Ohio, to Kathleen Maddox, a 16-year-old girl who was both an alcoholic and a prostitute. Kathleen later married William Manson, but the marriage ended quickly and Charles was placed in a boys school at age 12. Rejected in his attempts to return to his mother, Charles was soon living on the streets and getting by through petty crime. Over the next 20 years, Manson spent time in and out of reform schools and prisons for various crimes. He was released from prison on March 21, 1967, and moved to San Francisco.Trying to be the good boy but of course would all go south Manson would later get his own cult group/Family The Manson Family Cult "The Family" was a group of around 100 followers of Manson who shared his passion for an unconventional lifestyle and habitual use of hallucinogenic drugs, such as LSD and magic mushrooms. The Manson Family eventually moved from San Francisco to a deserted ranch in the San Fernando Valley. Manson’s followers also included a small, hard-core unit of impressionable young girls. They began to believe, without question, Manson's claims that he was Jesus and his prophecies of a race war. In his Race War he believed the Blacks would inherit the earth (okay), and would do unto white people what black people had done to their Ancestors , He was a complicated mind Manson. Charles Manson and "Helter Skelter" Manson was influenced not only by drugs, such as LSD, but by art works and music of the time, most notably The Beatles song "Helter Skelter," from their 1968 White Album. Helter Skelter: he would perform song in his hippie bus for his drug loving followers who were compelled to repeatedly say ' i love you Charlie , and i will kill for you' this quickly became their mantra as , distraught Charlie came in after his song was rejected decided to take it out on the hollywood residents living in that area 1 Like 1 Share

Aum Shinrikyo This puffy headed neo-Hindi Religious zealous Man led a line between a terrorist organization and a religious group, This Japanese group started innocently as a Yoga class soon it was a religious organisation with a whooping 40,0000 members Asahara broadcast his singing, insisting on his innocence through a radio broadcast relayed from Russia and directed toward Japan, , Although Negative publicity increased as the religion of the elite started hoarding weaponry , and mass bombings linked to their leader Aum shinrikyo, there was a Gas attack also commulated by the group in a Tokyo subway leaving hundreds dead On 6 July 2018, after exhausting all appeals, Asahara and six followers were executed as a punishment for the 1995 attacks and other crimes, and the remaining six on death row were executed on 26 July.At 12:10 am, on New Year's Day 2019, at least nine people were injured (one seriously) when a car was deliberately driven into crowds celebrating the new year on Takeshita Street in Tokyo+in the name of whatever God he follows ).[/b]Local police reported the arrest of Kazuhiro Kusakabe, the suspected driver, who allegedly admitted to intentionally ramming his vehicle into crowds to protest his opposition to the death penalty, specifically in retaliation for the execution of the aforementioned exeuctions Shinrikyo Aum is a syncretic belief system that draws upon Asahara's idiosyncratic interpretations of elements of early Indian Buddhism and Tibetan Buddhism, as well as Hinduism, taking Shiva as the main image of worship and incorporating millennialist ideas from Christianity, Yoga, and the writings of Nostradamus. Its founder, Chizuo Matsumoto, claimed that he sought to restore "original Buddhism" but employed Christian millenarian rhetoric.In 1992, Matsumoto, who had changed his name to Shoko Asahara, published a foundational book, declaring himself to be "Christ",Japan's only fully enlightened master, as well as identifying himself as the "Lamb of God". Asahara's purported mission was to take upon himself the sins of the world, and he claimed he could transfer spiritual power to his followers and ultimately take away their sins and bad deeds.While some reject Aum Shinrikyo's claims of Buddhist characteristics and affiliations with Buddhism, other scholars refer to it as an offshoot of Japanese Buddhism, and this was how the movement generally defined and saw itself. Asahara outlined a doomsday prophecy(typical of Religious leaders), which included a third world war instigated by the United States.smfh The VX victim, whom Shoko Asahara had suspected was a spy, was attacked at 7:00 a.m. on 12 December 1994, on the street in Osaka by Tomomitsu Niimi and another Aum member, who sprinkled the nerve agent on his neck. He chased them for about 100 yards (91 m) before collapsing, dying 10 days later without coming out of a deep coma. Doctors in the hospital suspected at the time he had been poisoned with an organophosphate pesticide. But the cause of death was pinned down only after cult members arrested for the subway attack in Tokyo in March 1995 confessed to the killing. Ethyl methylphosphonate, methylphosphonic acid, and diisopropyl-2-(methylthio) ethylamine were later found in the body of the victim. Unlike the cases for sarin (Matsumoto incident and Sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway), VX was not used for mass murder. In February 1995, several cult members kidnapped Kiyoshi Kariya, a 69-year-old brother of a member who had escaped, from a Tokyo street and took him to a compound in Kamikuishiki near Mount Fuji, where he was killed. His corpse was destroyed in a microwave-powered incinerator and the remnants disposed of in Lake Kawaguchi. Before Kariya was abducted, he had been receiving threatening phone calls demanding to know the whereabouts of his sister, and he had left a note saying, "If I disappear, I was abducted by Aum Shinrikyo". Police made plans to simultaneously raid cult facilities across Japan in March 1995. Prosecutors alleged Asahara was tipped off about this and that he ordered the Tokyo subway attack to divert police He was considered a soft Spoken man and had this calming presence about him when he spoke, his miracle video is one of him supposedly floating , edited in many which ways , and worst he has a cartoon of him self literally just meditating until he starts floating 1 Like 1 Share
