This week we bring you possibly our most complex tale to date. We will take you on a long journey across borders and time to detail either a global conspiracy or an incognito terrorist group that wreaked havoc on Australian soil for years. It truly is that polarising. In 1978 the Hilton Hotel in Sydney was the scene of a bombing that would claim three lives, though not necessarily their target. But this was just a focal point in a decade-spanning battle between truth and fiction, authority and conspiracy. This week we detail how an ostensibly peaceful meditation group was at the core of the whole saga.
