Japan - Aum Supreme Truth Cult

[tnick2]

anyone who for a moment doesn't realise that this was allowed to happen, if indeed spurred on and supported by non-Japanese elements that control certain aspects of Japanese society and politics is but a fool themselves and a product of the same people that created the environment for these events to take place

[yohummerguy]

seriously? why leave the people getting interviewed go untranslated or atleast have english subtitles? Does everyone here speak japanese?

[kenseisato1989]

i remember this on the news when i was yung when i lived in japan. it was pretty scary he had tanks and what not and was always on the news.

[bendeelala]

subtitles??



[MrIndoCanadian]

The religion is similar to Hinduism. Aum shanti shanti shanti

[Kleeeenex1]

the weirdest religion ever...

[xXvolhvXx]

Can I have subtitles? Not everybody is fluent in Japanese. =(

[sasha01198]

Just like Cesar Millan said: "Humans are the only animals who will follow unstable pack leaders." this is a good example of that

[VOCALOIDSUCKS]

lol earthbound....

[0hs0Zen0]

Well, I guess it's not just Americans buying into Scientology that's the problem...

[Frequent2001]

damn these fuckers never put subtitles

[potzolcalli1]

[yellowpokerman]

asahara was korean immigrant in japan

[crocodile2006]

The Audio translation by google is terrible.

[MatthewDaSmitdog]

Japan's general public didn't take this organization with any significant concern at first, and that would prove costly later on.

[kennethtucky1955]

I just read a book by Haruki Murakami called 'Underground' which is all about this - I recommend it.

[WavesOfTrolls]

lol

[GitanoRenegado]

an incarnation of the Yellow Turban Rebellion

[minna224]

cult group!

[tweetylova09]

what morals and character does this cult(and other similar cults)have next to the government? they rant about so much glory and spiritual bullshit that they brainwash themselves so far up their ass they cant see things for how they are? they end up more corrupted than the government.

[AgentxAnonymous]

@tweetylova09 Than WHAT government? Oh right I forgot our free democratic nations are obviously the same as say, North Korea.

Get fucking real.

[tweetylova09]

@AgentxAnonymous what are you talking about? o.o

[Krifko]

Hmm, I remember this. This cult and the attack on the Tokyo subway were world news when I was a little boy. I remember watching it on TV. I also distinctly remember the guru's claims of being able to fly.

[Probot2000X]

religions like aum cult or whatever is a fucked up religion, to exploit the people.

Shame on them!!!!

[frinchboy]

5:12 OMG ITS L!!!!

[RonyMexico]

@lonepantherkmt better get some therapy for your retardation, porchmonkey

[RonyMexico]

@lonepantherkmt guess a nigger should know, fuckin spearchucker

[RonyMexico]

[RonyMexico]

@lonepantherkmt show me how, assfuck

[RonyMexico]

@lonepantherkmt so what?

[RonyMexico]

more gook nonsense

[232323C]

[TheMrkiller2010]

@ 232323C yes

[rotinho87]

Motherfucked

[TheMrkiller2010]

[TheLivingHermit1]

Put subtitles already you cheapass fucks.

[shenzhenprostitute]

@TheLivingHermit1 Fuck you, learn to speak Japanese mother fucker.

[Wcoltd]

@TheLivingHermit1 it translates to "blah blah blah blibitty blabitty blah" there happy?

[zombieseezombiedo]

i want to watch actual Shoko Asahara presentation, not this subjective bullshit.

[moontokyo]

Weird thing is that when police entered the satian building, nothing was there. It has been rumored that there were some huge helicopters of unknown nationalities frying around the building one day before police entering building. In addition, there are some people who insists that CIA knew the exact date of spreading Salin Gas attack previously. They say CIA brought machinery for checking GAS effect too quickly and think CIA used Aum to experiment Salin Gas for human being.

[Krifko]

@moontokyo Yeah, sure. I bet you also think the Mossad was involved right?

[frostybob123]

FREE SHOKO ASAHARA !!!

[NewKadampaCult]

Aum Central Church Of Supreme Truth, Light And Beauty

[theendofel]

I cant believe nobody stopped them stockpiling all that shit. Dumb authorities.

[0519075130]

Japan is cursed island

[SolidSnail]

Any chance of transcriptions for the Japanese bits, anybody?

[KageShadows]

I love subtitles. You get the hear the original language. I'm learning Japanese anyway

[rfavro]

Holy shit that cult was powerful. I thought that the nerve gas attack was just some badly planned cheap attack by some minor fringe group. The idea that a cult could gain access to military equipment, had influence in the Japanese army, and had a factory to build gas, seems almost unbelievable - it sounds like something from a movie.

[LetCorgisHaveWings34]

@rfavro Unfortunately Shoko Asahara's "ideal world" that the cult was planning to build is based heavily off of post-apocolyptic anime. Because of the Aum and several other incidents Japan is heavily prejudiced against otaku (anime fans).

[brindmaster]

haha!! aumcult sarin not can make. made in USA.

kamikuishiki village factory plant make stimulant(drug).

[alvin1245]

本当に怖いね...

[khnoorifard]

asahara had 10,000 folowers and tons of money,it is natural for an uneducated man like him to act like god,he decided that he should take over japan and become emperor, his team of scientist produced enough sarin gas to kill all living beings in the earth.

i was in tokyo back then and use to ride on the same train that was attacked lickily that day i was home with a cold.

[ArticMuse]

journeymanpictures is a poor man's media. Biased, and unprofessional.

[cladlord]

this is all nice but im srry i dont speak japanese sooo unless u translate for me i have no clue helf of the video

[ScopedOUT2]

How the hell did people believe in this fit shace?

[ScopedOUT2]

why are all the damn journeyman docs out of sync?

[brindmaster]

editing CIA. aum cult controll back up korean cult group(moon).　poor factory make drug(same north korean=cia).

CIA　Ｓｔｙｌｅ！！

[far2813]

hahahaha, what?!

[iamarock09]

@brindmaster you think the CIA is behind this? they certainly masterminded a few 'social' experiments like the people's church (jim jones was CIA).

[croatianmannheim]

wtf why is this chinese woman talking and its not translated in any way ??!! I know shes japanese bitches!!!!

[Sinamatics]

lol @ that headgear he holds onto no way would i look that foolish to think like anybody else

[kilian]

subtitles, damit

[fagbowsa]

thats odd... it was originally in english, but they subbed it into japanese while they talked.

[boomshizzIe]

subtitles?

[zambimaru]

"Near blind acupuncturist"? How does that work?

[CyborgNinja7]

@zambimaru Strangely, blind people are allowed to be acupuncturists and masseurs in Japan. It is a traditional job area for the blind in Japan. They're supposed to have acute senses. And yes, you can be near blind.

[seamonkeywater]

that man was a looneybin

[SparkamusPryme]

lol, does Japan have no FBI?

[Noliving]

Sadly no they don't have any female body inspectors.

[kunoichipunk]

haha levitation? he looked like he was takign a dump XD

[ncb69]

rofl....ahahahahaha!!!that's it...

[dougisnice666]

Ya but Rastas are Christians. I want a weed smoking cult that does not include lies.

[CrazyJelle007]

not necessarily

[Sinamatics]

closer to jewish

[dougisnice666]

I should make a weed smoking cult

[AresCassell]

It's been done. They're called Rastas.

[desconocidos27]

im in

[shitsons]

its called rastafarian lol

[TheDallas3]

no subtitles?????? D:

[96DisneyFan]

4:20-I was expecting a hardcore dance mix.

[cancanbiker]

haha that was fuked

[Anahita4444]

I lived within walking distance of the station Hiroo, which was on the line that was Sarin bombed.

I agree, what's the point of a lot of Nihongo with nothing translated? I would've liked to know what was being said, at least if it was summarised after.

[theyesman1690]

You lived in Japan and still can't speak Japanese? Lazy sack of shit

[lavinder11]

Could have lived there for a month, who knows.

[kishaba1980]

terrorist piece of shit. all of em need to be boiled alive n turned into sludge.

[omfg4000]

Ah yeah sorry, they leave it out on japanese to... :S add subtitles!"

[LTBL88]

you guys at journeymanpictures always leave out subtitles!

[omfg4000]

I kinda like it but yeah you need to know good english.

[noqa]

Perhaps they could use annotations for the subtitles?

[johntrevy]

Why hasnt this guy been executed yet? Hes been on death row for like 15 years now.

[truey7604]

what the hell? crazy people!!

[julieeeee89]

a lot of cults believe the end of the world is coming soon and they are the ones who should help it come sooner. this cult tried to start world war 3, others murder and torture people. not in the name of God, but because they are not in touch with reality

[valcaron]

Hey uh... does Journeyman Pictures ever use translators? I mean come on...

[MrWarProfiteer]

@valcaron no kidding... im sure the comments are interesting, but since its an english report youd think the evidence would be in the same language. im no journalism student or anything... just seems like common sense.

[Blah3156]

@valcaron You need to put CC on, it's right next to the pixels, you will then click make audiotranscript and the subtitles are somewhat correct but not everything. Hope that helps a bit.

[whataboutredlorry]

They may use 'God' as their justification for their actions, but they are so misled you can't possibly take them seriously and confuse them with people who believe in a true God can you? Use their own belief system and resource (bible) to fire back at them:

The very definition of God is supposed to be LOVE and benevolence. Violent acts are not LOVE are they?

God is the only one who can judge, not human beings. And God is the only one who should be worshipped - not human beings.

[raunchbear]

wasn't Jesus a human?

[onimotoko]

He was God in human form.

[Nicom47]

Human? in form. and God in person.

[raunchbear]

Why did he talk to God? Was he talking to himself?

[Nicom47]

Now thats what they call omnipresent.

If you are omnipresent.. you must be everywhere.

So he was talking to his supremest form

that has all the capabilities of super powers

as a fulfillment of omnipresence thing.

[VCat2006]

@Nicom47 If he's my property, i own him. For people like this, hell was invented.

[cuaem]

subtitles

[ccheng21]

In history there are plenty of religious groups who will target other religious groups because they feel that they can do whatever they want because "God" is on their side. That is the problem with this type of indoctrination, it gives you a free ticket to do anything cuz if you have "God" on your side, then nothing you do is wrong.

[onimotoko]

that guy should be raped, so hard.

[Pr0jectL]

such smart people doing such stupid things..

[glamourmonster]

I like their masks :D

[sunday325]

Why doesn't this have subtitles?

[TheWhitey]

This cult still exits.

[ccheng21]

only religion can force people to kill without remorse and kill with such devotion and fanaticism.

[vejaji2]

your wrong i know athiests that can do the same

[ccheng21]

atheistst are far too realistic and grounded in real life to ever go this far with their ideas. They see that there is no motive for killing at all, religion dangles the false promise of eternal life and the false dichotomy of good vs evil to cheat people into making them mindless drones

[vejaji2]

my religon doesnt do that

[ki8arwdos]

mindless drones? well if you mean that we should help and love each other like ourselves, then imo the world would be heaven if we ALL were mindless drones

[BigStick3456]

Um guy, this was always known as a cult. AUM has never been a religion. Atheistst don't kill? I guess you never heard of Mao, Stalin, or Fidel Castro?

[ccheng21]

typical reaction from one who does not do their research. Mao Stalin and Castro did kill, but it was not their atheism that made them do it. Atheism does not say that you have free reign to kill. However Aum Supreme and religions in general give you plenty of motivation to kill.

[ccheng21]

"Hense today I believe that I am acting in accordance with the will of the Almighty Creator: by defending myself against the Jew, I am fighting for the work of the lord." - Mein Kampf

People love saying Hitler was an athiest but he was always a self declared catholic. His believe that he was never wrong because he had god on his side made it very easy for him to do whatever he wanted. This is no different.

[andy7666]

He was no Catholic, he only respected that religion for its historical part in Western society. He certainly believed in God, the great creator, however.. I have the same outlook - I belong to no Church but am spiritual, I believe in God and respect my ancestors (my spirituality coming more so from science if anything, over blind faith). I believe Hitler was versed in the Eastern philosphies and religions also, looking at his 'Table Talk' I believe this was the case..

[ccheng21]

Well I do agree that just because Hitler was a Christian does not mean that all Christians are like Hitler. To do so would be extremely unintelligent.

However I do assert that believing that God is on your side, gives you an excuse to do anything you want because essentially you are never wrong.

[BigStick3456]

Really blooter? Stalin killed millions of people just for believing in G-d. Many other reason as well but because he was a atheist, he did not look at Jews and Christians in a good light. Mao was the same way. So do your research the next time you type. History shows that people must fear a atheist leader rather than a religious one when it comes to genocide.

[ccheng21]

Stalin killed millions because he didn't want anything interfering with his absolute rule, and that included the Russian Orthodox Church. Because people looked up to the clergy for leadership he wanted them eliminated.

Your attempts to link atheism to genocide is very badly researched.

Cardinal Richlieu of France was a Catholic Cardinal who had no problems allying with Protestant nations to oppose catholic countries that were a threat to him. So much for his loyalty to God eh?

[BigStick3456]

Um no, wrong again. Stalin did not want anyone believing in a supreme being. Till this day China feels anyone who belives in a diety as a threat so there answer is to make them disown their belifs or else die. Pretty much like Stalin. Your attempts to fight history are very feckless and poor.

[BigStick3456]

Pol Pot, Mao, Lennin, Castro, and Broze, all killed those who did not want to tolerate their belifs by accepting that there is no G-d. Very good people I say. Believe in what I do, or die.

[ccheng21]

You're still grasping for straws. You're basically stating that atheism = genocide, and that is not the case. These ruthless individuals killed anyone because they felt that anything or anyone questioning them should be eliminated. The Bolsheviks targeted their first closest ideological group, the Mensheviks after they took power, and most of the Mensheviks were similar because they too were atheists. Why would Atheists kill Athiests?

[insanezenmistress]

I wonder what the opressor guy would say if i agreeed that i would pretend to belive what he belives only when he is looking.... heil hitler, dude.....sheesh i'll say that now get out of my face.... He'd probaly kill me anyway. How many people are secure inthemselves enough to accept they might one day have to die because they have free minds. or beliefs, or opinions. Not because of NWO but because thats How we seem to have always been. be like me or i have to kill you because you make me feel.

[ki8arwdos]

there is no religion that forces people to kill each other, even jihad is a false idea terrorists created to use religion as an EXCUSE to kill others, as for this cult, its not a religion at all, its a mix of ideas from 100 other religions that looks attractive to young people, who then join it, and become fanatic murderers

[commodore256]

Cult!

[23otaku]

Subtitles would be nice.

[WithTheDmeister]

man all i wanna say is that shoko looks really scary!!!

[unit023]

please check out my group on facebook - Cult Survivors - add your stories and insights.

We need more resources for those whose lives have been damaged or otherwise affected by cults

[keyanage]

wish this had some subtitles would be great doco otherwise

[mapp2tube]

This is a very good program. Thanks so much for posting.

[asdffd]

Wow. This shit was straight up CRAAAAAAAAAZY!

[DementedDolphin]

if thease people got outside their continent they would be a seriouse threat to the world.its just licky theu are issolated

[ACTORnSCREENWRITER]

This Aum leader is one scary guy... A Japanese Bin Laden that interprets religion in his own way

[sleeplessintokyo]

thanks for the invisible subtitles.

[ikanaide]

hahaha

[rustydragon7]

shut up invaderloser

[68wayz2die]

lo

l

[invaderdib]

aum...AUM BEING THE CAUSE OF SOME1 DYING...

IMPOSSIBLE...

lawl

[kianforreal]

read a book about it before you get all skeptical... this shit was real..

[tamagohunter]

this report was seemingly done 3 months after the event, so it's pretty sensational and misinformed journalism. They have the main idea right but I'd be interested to see them sight their sources.

[Esplender]

Practically in every book, newspaper and online articles about them.

[seka1986]

You are full of shit.

[killy731]

This reportage is false.

I read the book and it wasn't actually sarin used, they were planning on using sarin but the man who staged the attack opted out and used a chemical composition only 1% of the strength, thus only a handful of people died instead of thousands.

[sanscafeine]

In 'The cult at the end of the world,' based in Aum; it says that they used a chemical that was 30% sarin.

[Thornfox]

That makes a bit more sense, but now I'm not sure what anyone joining the cult could have expected to accomplish, if that's true.

[Thornfox]

Do you actually have any proof of this? At all? The US does have unreasonable influence, but somehow I doubt it had anything to gain from sponsoring a half-assed doomsday cult.

[mutsueaa]

Left and Right wings are the same. They try to brainwash their people.

[floydiangreen]

sounds like a japanese version of scientology

[bwildasi]

Not really. The leader looks like a false-saviour: white robes, long hair, master-slave complex with aims to make mind altering converts or kill, steal, and destroy. Dooms day cults throughout history do the same thing: claim to be somebody then self-destruct.

[legionsoflulz]

Basically. They were just more interested in Armageddeon than Money and Power.

[dele3344]

Aum beginnings do resemble that of Scientology. But Aum took it a lot further by killing people in kidnappings, overdoses, gassings, biological weapons, and many more ways.

The reason the attacks on the subway only killed 12 (The documentary says 11, another person died a few months after) is because the sarin was only 30% pure. Had it been above 60%, thousands of people would have been dead.

[dele3344]

And most of the stuff in this documentary actually happened. The fact that it is hardly ever reported in the Western world makes this story seem so ridiculous.

[tenjin28]

What is even more disturbing is that Aum Shinrikyo's leader litterally was an Anime

otaku who has lived out the anime "HARMAGEDDON" and failed since it

only crumbled his entire group.

[Lobos222]

I remember this story was huge in Europe.

Not that it makes it better, but we can feel somewhat easier that it took them years and huge sums of money to get this basic Sarin "light".

[DuckHeadlolz]

interesting, shame there's no subtitles for the japanese speaking parts.

[drazdikjr]

Japan government control of religion, taxes, controled gaming of pichinko, Right wing Japanese imperialists, Russian mafia, and Chinese military. This sounds like a North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) issue on chemical weapons and money laundrying by religious sects. Why the Chinese military, Oh Russia. Why controled gaming of pichinko, Oh Right Wing hatred of China. Government policy and their analysts, what will they have to reverse engineer next?

[ravenmocara]

Hmm. Sinister, although I'm somehow left with the feeling that thats not all the facts. Maybe something to do with an inability to speak japanese >_<
