In this episode, we delve into the disturbing connection between the Aum Shinrikyo cult, the Tokyo Subway Blasts, and the mysterious events at Banjawarn Station in Western Australia. The Aum Shinrikyo cult conducted a deadly sarin gas attack on the Tokyo subway system in 1995, killing 13 people and injuring thousands.

Their links to a remote location in Western Australia, where they conducted bizarre experiments, were eventually revealed. We explore the role of Banjawarn Station in the group's activities and the Australian authorities' investigation into their activities. This episode offers a chilling reminder of the continuing threat of domestic and international terrorism and the need for ongoing vigilance in the fight against violent extremism.
