Aum Shinrikyo: Once and Future Threat? [CDC.gov article mentioning Soviet connection]
December 31st, 2004 . by JetmanNot wanting to take any word from sites I’m not able to verify content for, I decided to research and establish the potential link between Soviet seismic weaponry and the supercult Aum Shinrikyo. Here’s the link.
Aum Shinrikyo: Once and Future Threat?:
“Millennial visions and apocalyptic scenarios dominate the group’s doctrine, evidenced by the prominent role of Nostradamus as a prophet in Aum Shinrikyo teaching. Ashahara has, on many occasions, claimed to be the reincarnated Jesus Christ, as well as the first “enlightened one” since the Buddha. He has frequently preached about a coming Armageddon, which he describes as a global conflict that would, among other things, destroy Japan with nuclear, biological, and chemical weapons. According to Ashahara, only the followers of Aum Shinrikyo will survive this conflagration…
…At the time of the Tokyo subway attack, the cult’s principle venture in Russia was the Moscow-Japan University, with headquarters in offices across the street from the Bolshoi Ballet. Their senior Russian partner in the university was a man by the name of Oleg Lobov, at that time also chairman of Russia’s National Security Council and a close confidant of Boris Yeltsin.“
The link would then be Oleg Lobov. Whether or not the Soviet/Russian scientists had perfected an earthquake or seismic weapon is still undetermined except for a single source.
