Episode 22 - CULTS, CONSPIRACIES, & KILLERS II - Aum Shinrikyo
On Episode 22, Barrett and Josh welcome Ridge Jackson (Waxing-On with RJ) for the second installment of their Cults, Conspiracies and Killers series - Aum Shinrikyo.
Aum Shinrikyo began in the 1980s as a spiritual group mixing Hindu and Buddhist beliefs, later infusing elements of apocalyptic Christian prophecies. The group's founder, Shoko Asahara, declared himself to be both Christ and the first "enlightened one" since Buddha as the figurehead of this new movement.
Aum Shinrikyo, under the direction of Shoko Asahara, in March of 1995 orchestrated a Sarin gas attack on a Tokyo subway where 13 people died and at least 5,800 were injured in five coordinated attacks on three train lines.
It was the worst domestic terror attack ever carried out on Japanese soil.
