概要
The Phineas Priesthood: When Holy War Came to Spokane

A white van exploded behind a newspaper building, and fifteen minutes later, a bank was robbed at gunpoint in the same city. These were not random acts, but a coordinated operation by men who believed they were soldiers in a holy war. How did a domestic terrorist organization carry out bombings and armed robberies in a mid-sized American city, almost unnoticed?

In this episode, we delve into the Spokane cell of the Phineas Priesthood, a group that combined extremist ideology with tactical training. We explore their precise planning, symbolic targets, and the question of who these men were and how long they had been preparing.
