Most people are aware of the domestic terror events of 1995 in Tokyo that were perpetrated by the Aum Shinrikyo cult. Not as many, however, are aware of that group’s ties to Japan’s internal intelligence and military or of how Aum was just one of many cults that arose in Japan especially from the 1980s on. The Unification Church of Reverend Sun Myung Moon is still dealing with a schism but the original church has definite ties to the Korean CIA (KCIA) which was created by the US CIA and has an important role in the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) of Japan’s deep state.
