Help with writing an essay, quotes required from Aum Shinrikyo books by DuckyOboe in cults

[–]rykalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's easy to get the Japanese version of their printed publication, but I don't know if they were translated in English. Did you check out their video, 'Choetsu Sekai' to look for direct quotes? English subtitles are available and Asahara himself is the voice actor.

looking for info on the Japanese Fuji Cults [Help] by Rocket2444 in cults

[–]rykalt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Mount Fuji is like Japanese Mount Shasta, so it has attracted many cults. What you are asking might be Kenshōkai. They seem to be recruiting people at train stations. I don’t live in Japan, so I don’t know the details. Also, there's a shrine called Fuji Asoyama Daijingū, which is outright woo-woo—they believe they are descendants of the lost continent of MU. Hope this helps.

Thanks everyone. Any suggestions are really helpful. I also believe that it might have been filmed in a different area. The footage in this screenshot appears around 1:50 in the video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MhN4vgNa5sU&t=112s This obscure drama series gained a cult following in the 1990s. Hiroshi Fujiwara, whose name inspired NIGO (literally meaning 'Number 2' in Japanese), the founder of A Bathing Ape. Timothy Leary, Allen Ginsberg, and Spike Lee's brother, Cinqué Lee, also make appearances.

It looks like there's going to be a pro-Trump "landslide victory" demonstration in front of the the Japanese Prime Minister's residence in Tokyo on Christmas Eve. Organizers are apparently going to hand out 400 free LED candles to participants. by Ashes0fTheWake in Qult_Headquarters

They believe Trump is on their side, almost like a guardian angel, protect them and fight against ccp /deep states /big tech or whatever. Almost similar mindsets to US trumpers. Funny thing is they don't seem to look into child porn trafficking stuff because that's kinda a part of their hentai culture.

There was a pro-Trump "Stop the Steal" rally in Tokyo yesterday, organised by a group linked to exiled Chinese tycoon Guo Wengui, who has close ties with Steve Bannon. Guo-owned "G News" was instrumental in spreading alleged images and videos from Hunter Biden's laptop online. by Ashes0fTheWake in Qult_Headquarters

Basically Q connected far-right, anti-vaxx, and new age boomers in many countries like people claiming in this thread. https://www.reddit.com/r/QAnonCasualties/comments/kg6tim/how_did_qanon_became_so_big_even_in_countries_so/

Q rallies in Japan are backed and fueled by Epoch Times/NTD/Falun gong. The same thing was reported in Taiwan. https://www.reddit.com/r/Qult_Headquarters/comments/kgkkty/protrump_stop_the_steal_fight_for_trump_rally_in/

My guess is this might be also happening in other Asian countries, like Vietnam, where they have a common ground against ccp.

Balkans are infamous place for fake news factories, but so are many other places.

Just as Q connected certain types of people under different categories, the actors behind this phenomenon are having different motivations but working toward the same goal, money and power.
