Summary
Who’s to blame for the 1995 Tokyo Metro Sarin Gas Attack?
This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) speaks with return guest and friend of the show Georgia Mischak about the insidious 1995 sarin gas attack by the Aum Shinrikyo cult on the Tokyo metro system. What attracted young, educated and often well connected citizens to this apocalyptic group? Was this a classic case of the charismatic cult leader or was there more bubbling under the surface in Japanese society at the time? Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early help narrow down the board.
