i wonder when Hyde gets caught, and how long he serves in jail.

He's still out there... ;)

Or is it just a bunch of copy-cat killers and the real Hyde has been either jailed, dead or did he disappear into the crowd of killers years ago and is living a normal life?

The truth is out there!

I mean, the truth might be out there!
 
How could extraterrestrial-believing cults reach Aum Shinrikyo levels of dangerous?

If they get hands on enough weaponry and are fanatical enough, they easily could. Everyone expects an attack from the Red Army Faction, not a bunch of alien worshippers who think that they can liberate the planet from some secret Reptilian mind control. :p

History

The Army of Gaia is a radical Ecoterrorist organisation with neo-Leftist leanings that sprung up in the United States around the time of the late 1970’s, in response to the Arab Oil Embargo that crippled global industry. The tensions that resulted from the skyrocketing petrol prices and the lack of a viable replacement at the time ended in groups of survivalists, neo-Pagans, neo-Luddites and other like-minded anti-technology groups retreating into the wilderness and began a protracted campaign that mostly focused around the destruction of service stations, power plants and other industrial infrastructure that required the limited amounts of fossil fuels that were available in the United States at the time.

The Army practices a mixture of survivalist and Neo-Pagan ideologies with a healthy dose of pseudo-Marxism that paints the working classes as slaves and everybody else from the middle class and upwards as decadent, technologically enamoured bourgeois who keep the lower class in chains using said technologies. The only way to break this apparently horrific cycle is to regress to a pre-Industrial Revolution state of technology where man can live in harmony with nature.

Incidents

Attempted assassination of US President Ronald Reagan (1981)

Army of Gaia disciple and known neo-pagan John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate then-President Ronald Reagan by stabbing him with a ceremonial knife on the 30th of March, 1981. Hinckley and various Army members had been planning the attack for weeks as they thought that assassinating the pro-corporate President would appease their patron deities, who were supposedly angered by the building of new factories and the general rise in American economic prosperity during the early 1980’s. Hinckley failed in his as he tried to rush at the President whilst he was giving a speech at the Hilton Hotel in the Philadelphian Capital District.

Hinckley did succeed in stabbing at least one of the President’s bodyguards, who later died in hospital. Reagan was swiftly taken away from the hotel and was later treated for shock and nearly suffered a heart attack due to his advanced age. However, Reagan did make a full recovery and continued to serve two terms in office, later passing laws that guaranteed religious freedom for the millions of Neo-Pagans in the United States and cracked down on numerous revenge attacks on peaceful groups throughout the course of his term via the introduction of more stringent mental health tests for prospective and existing gun owners.

Hinckley was later given the death penalty under the Terrorist Act of 1978 (Amended circa 1982) and was hanged at the gallows in Mecklenburg Correctional Centre, Virginia in 1984 after spending three years on death row.

Sao Paulo AIDS II Crisis (1988)

During the height of the AIDS II Crisis (1985-1997) - wherein at least 32 million men, women and children in mostly Third World counties died because of a modified version of the AIDS virus – the Army of Gaia released the disease into the water system of city of Sao Paulo, located in the Brazilian Empire. The lack of properly functioning sanitation at the release point halted the spread of the virus into the more affluent parts of the city, but the damage to the lower-class portions of the megalopolis were already clear as approximately 450,000 civilians died over the course of a year in state-built quarantine centres. The Sao Paulo Incident remains one of the worst domestic terrorist incidents in world history. But the aftermath of the attack has paradoxically become a net benefit for the Empire as the redevelopment of the old favelas and slums brought employment and has lifted millions out of poverty via the construction of modular, modernist buildings that now house thousands of people in what were once crime-ridden slums.
