This document argues that the Heaven’s Gate cult was an intelligence operation, not a genuine religious movement. The author, David Kasady, claims that the cult’s founders, Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles, along with all its members, were actors and intelligence assets. The author presents numerous pieces of “evidence” to support this theory, focusing heavily on supposed connections in the members’ genealogies to various aristocratic, political, and military figures, as well as alleged inconsistencies in official accounts and photographs related to the cult’s activities and its members’ deaths. The text suggests that the cult was a psyop aimed at discrediting Christianity and promoting secularism and materialism, and that it was likely an Air Force production.
Here is a list of subjects, names, references, locations, companies, etc. found in the text, marked with double square brackets:
The article posits that Heaven’s Gate was an Intel Project, orchestrated by intelligence agencies. It claims that founders Marshall Applewhite and Bonnie Nettles were actors, not genuine cult leaders, and that all Heaven’s Gate members were “in on the gag.” The author links Heaven’s Gate to other alleged fake cults such as Branch Davidians, Jonestown, Westboro Baptist Church, and NXIVM. It suggests Heaven’s Gate is an offshoot of Operation Chaos.
Marshall Applewhite is presented as a “gay Jewish actor” with military ties, having served in the Army Signal Corps in Austria and New Mexico, possibly at Holloman AFB or Kirtland AFB. His educational background includes a degree in philosophy from the University of Texas and a master’s in musical theater from the University of Colorado. He taught at the University of Alabama and the University of St. Thomas in Houston. His alleged wife was Anne Pearse (possibly Anne Pierce), and he purportedly had two children. The author speculates that Applewhite was recruited by military intelligence and may have been stationed at Tulln AFB near Vienna. The author also connects Applewhite to the Fisher-Miller Land Grant through alleged relatives Fisher and Miller, and states he may have died of natural causes in 1997, prompting the staging of the mass suicide. His middle name, Herff, is linked to Ferdinand Ludwig Herff, a German-born physician and pioneer in San Antonio, Texas, and a co-founder of the Bettina commune as part of the King Ranch project. Ferdinand Ludwig Herff’s uncle was president of the University of Bonn when Karl Marx was a student. Applewhite’s genealogy is also linked to the Wingfield family, who founded the London Virginia Company, and to Winfield Scott. His family names are Marshall, Dismukes, Lyons, Blackmore, Thompson, Mixon, Harrison, Lide, Woodard, Wingfield, Glaseker, Logan, Hanes, Messer, Sturdivant, Buckner, Thweatt, Wynne, Stith, and Hallom. Thompson and Harrison link him to Bonnie Nettles, and Lyons links him to the current Queen. Stith is equated with Smith. Anne Stith, wife of Colonel Robert Bolling, is also mentioned. He is linked to the Randolphs of Virginia, Robert E. Lee, Merriweather Lewis, First Lady Edith Wilson, and most U.S. presidents. He is also identified as a Cary, Goodall, Clarke, and Hinckley.
Bonnie Nettles is identified as Applewhite’s co-founder, who allegedly met him when they were assigned to the same project. She is described as having a Theosophy background, and the project is seen as a continuation of Theosophy’s goal to destroy Christianity. She was married to Joseph Nettles, a Segal and Wolinski, and had four children. Her maiden name is Trousdale, and her family tree includes Payne, Armistead, Miller, Walton, Cox, Harrison, Thompson, Smith, DeMourville, and Duncan on her mother’s side, and Percell, Hopkins, McCoy, Webb, Adcock, Russell, Ferguson, and Carraway on her father’s side. The Trousdells landed in Kentucky by 1918. Elizabeth, daughter of Samuel DeMourville, married William Harrison, who is the 8th great-grandfather of Mike Huckabee. Bonnie is considered a cousin to Huckabee, Harold Armistead Covington, and Jim Morrison. Armistead also connects her to Jim Morrison of The Doors through Armistead Webb. Webb links them to the current Queen. Bonnie allegedly left her family after meeting Applewhite but they never became romantic partners. She purportedly died of cancer in 1985 under the pseudonym Shelly West at Parkland Memorial Hospital, though no record exists. Searches on Intelius for Bonnie Nettles in Texas yielded Bonita Lashae Nelson, related to Joe Nettles. Her son is Joe Christopher. Her sister is Betty Sommer. Her age in 2018 suggests she died then.
The Heaven’s Gate mass suicide allegedly involved 39 members on March 26 in a mansion outside San Diego, California. The author questions the location of the coroner’s truck, which was marked LOS ANGELES COUNTY CORONER, suggesting the event was staged in Hollywood. The purple cloths covering the bodies are linked to the Phoenician Navy and Tyrian purple.
Other individuals implicated as members or actors include:
- Thomas Nichols, brother of Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura in Star Trek) and a promoter of NASA’s astronaut programs. NASA is deemed fictional. Nichols’ mother was a Parks, possibly linking her to Rosa Parks and Martin Luther King, who allegedly encouraged her acting career.
- David Cabot Van Sinderen, from Connecticut, linked to the Cabot Family of Boston through his mother Eleanor Cabot Lyford, who was a member of that family. His uncle was painter Cabot Lyford.
- Erika Ernst, whose boyfriend Frank Lyford also joined the cult but “defected.”
- Margaret Richter, who did her undergrad at Berkeley and master’s in computer science at UCLA, both described as “spook feeder schools.”
- Gary Jordan St. Louis, also from Berkeley and in computer programming. His mother’s maiden name is Jordan, linking him to Michael Barr Sandoe.
- Susan Paup, another Berkeley student.
- Robert Arancio, who lived in Berkeley when he joined.
- Michael Barr Sandoe, an infantry paratrooper and Ranger in Desert Storm, born in Massachusetts but lived in Boulder, Colorado. Colorado has six Air Force bases, including Buckley AFB in Aurora, which has been linked to various projects. His mother’s maiden name is Jordan.
- Jeffrey Lewis and Joyce Skalla, former Navy personnel or wives. Joyce Skalla was a TV news anchor in Denver, considered a prime recruit for Intel projects.
- Nancy Dianne Nelson, whose driver’s license listed an address in an age-restricted mobile home park in Scottsdale, Arizona, but no one by that name was found in rental records.
- Susan Frances Strom, daughter of US District Judge Lyle Strom of Omaha. Lyle Strom was a former Navyman and had a twin brother, Louis Strom, who worked for the office of the President at UC Berkeley.
- Yvonne McCurdy-Hill, a postal worker from Cincinnati, whose mother Eartha Lee Hill’s maiden name was Stallworth. She is linked to John Lee Stallworth, a Pro Football Hall-of-Famer and co-founder of Madison Research Corporation, which provided services to the government. Samuel Hazelrig, a jet fighter pilot for the Air Force and aerospace engineer for NASA, was the other co-founder. Madison Research Corporation was based in Huntsville. Hazelrig’s mother’s name links him to various aristocratic families in the British peerage. Yvonne also had twins.
- The name Stallworth also links to Ron Stallworth, a detective who infiltrated the KKK in Colorado Springs, home to AFBs and the Air Force Academy, and NORAD. The KKK is also called an Intel project.

The author also references the Habsburg Jaw and the Phoenician Navy. The concept of Tyrian purple is mentioned. The text also refers to the UFO phenomenon, NASA, and Star Trek. The “big computers” are mentioned as sources of information. The text criticizes the narrative of the mass suicide, questioning why all 39 bodies were cremated, which it claims bypasses the need for funerals and graves.
Miles, the editor, adds that Nettles’ Theosophy background is key to understanding the project’s goal of destroying Christianity and making it look “silly and unhinged” by connecting it to new-age preachers and UFOs. He sees this as part of a long-term Intel project to secularize society and promote profit and control, eliminating institutions like the Church and the family. He references his previous writings on Ben Franklin and the Beats. He also points to Walter Cronkite’s 1975 report on CBS about missing Heaven’s Gate members as evidence of CIA manipulation. He critiques Jacques Vallee’s book Messengers of Deception as being written at the behest of the CIA, noting Vallee’s background with NASA and Arpanet, and his Jewish heritage. LA Weekly is also identified as a CIA asset. Art Bell is accused of playing along with the narrative, particularly regarding Hale-Bopp and a trailing UFO, which he claims was ordered by his Air Force superiors. Bell’s show Coast to Coast started in Las Vegas, a town owned by Jews. The creation of fear to sell products is highlighted as a motivation for such projects, exemplified by Infowars.
The article also touches upon the supposed “Gay Jewish Actor” trope, the KKK as an Intel project, and the significance of twins in intelligence operations. The significance of Hollywood and peerage names is also highlighted. The author believes the project was designed to atomize society for maximum profit and control. The mention of US Army and Air Force bases like Buckley AFB and NORAD is frequent. The article also discusses alleged Jewish influence in media and finance, particularly in Las Vegas casinos.
