Subject: Suicide Cult And March 25

As you might know the members of TOA, Total Overcomers Anonymous - the
cult which has become sadly known during the last couple of days -
committed suicide to have their liberated souls transported away in the
supposed space ship accompanying the Hale-Bopp comet. Maybe in clones
ready-made for the purpose, who knows how twisted their way of thinking
might have been?

But the connection goes further. On last night's Larry King Show on CNN
(March 28, 03.00 - 04.00 CET) Tuesday, March 25, was mentioned as an
important date in TOA's apocalyptic vision of Hale-Bopp.

What follows is a verbatim rendition of parts of the show. The first
person interviewed is Nick Matzorkis, owner of a computer company,
Interact Entertainment Group, and employer of Rio, a guy who recently
had left the cult. It was Nick and Rio who notified the police of the
horrible scene.

Nick:
What happened is: We'd received a FEDEX delivery on Tuesday afternoon -
to Rio.... He took it home with him Tuesday without opening it. I guess
he opened it when he got home that night. And then Wednesday morning I
got into work, and at about 9.45 or 10 o'clock he came into my office
and said he had news for me, and informed me that all of his former
colleagues at Higher Source (the computer company of the cult) had
committed suicide, and I asked him how many, and he told me: 40."

I live in Denmark and don't quite know what a FEDEX delivery is, but I
surmise it is some kind of quick mail, which would make the time frame
tally with the date emerging later during The Larry King Show. Larry
was interviewing Alex Fleet and Robert Watkins, two employees of Rancho
Car Wash, who had befriended some of the cult members.

Larry King:
"Now, this is for both. First you, Alex. Did they talk about the comet,
the Hale-Bopp comet. Did they talk about going behind Bopp? Did they
talk about an alien ship in or near Bopp?"

Alex Fleet:
"Yes, they did. They had been talking about that weeks upon weeks, till
they actually gave us literature on it. They had been talking about how
there might be a ship with the comet, and of course I've got an open
mind to everything, so I listened to them. I didn't know whether I
believed them, but I listened to them. And again they did mention that
a few times, and they were very afraid of what this was gonna bring.
They kept talking about March 25 was the day that it will be closest to
us."

Larry King:
"They mentioned that date?"

Alex Fleet:
"They did mention that date on numerous occasions, and every time they
came in, I said: "Well, March 25 is getting closer and closer."
