I've been living continuously in Japan for 40 years now, and have been in conversations with my best friend and partner, who was also a rare female 'kacho' for the personnel department of a major Japanese corporation. We got the news by cell phone about 2 hours after the incident, and both thought of the same thing ... oh shit. Just as the opposition was beginning to pick up some steam by pointing out the cognitive dissonance and corruption in the LDP, the right-wing, super-majority ruling LDP is now a shoe-in for next week's coming elections because of the sympathy vote. Now a couple of days later, Japanese Twitter is blazing with comments saying the same.

This is not good news for the average working class Japanese. Not only will the high taxes on basic commodities be rolled back, but unprecedented military spending will (is now) escalating, They plan on amending the peace-time constitution to something more pre-emptive, and are proposing the suspension of future elections thus keeping them in power permanently ... more or less following the Chinese model.

Here on the ground, a popular tweet said it was both nice and natural for workers at cash registers to chat with the elderly in the check-out line ... prompting one govt. affiliated medical 'professional' to call for the elimination of any face-to-face human business transaction through digitalization of the transaction and the currency. Of course, this is to protect us from assymptomatic (not sick) carriers of a microbe that appears to have an odd correlation with other aspects of an ailing economy. With the results of next week's elections in the bag, I am afraid the techno-feudalism of China will be upon us, in full force.

James Corbett is a rare example of a vanishing breed of good journalism. Been following him for a couple of years ... but my browser seems to finds ways of keeping him out of my regular feeds.

Interesting...thanks for the background. I have to admit I am completely ignorant of Asian politics. However, given the rise of Asia and Chinese power...I need to tune in more...

As soon as I saw this was from James Corbett, I went: I'm reading this. He doesn't claim to have all the answers, but presents a huge amount of background information. I've learned a lot from The Corbett Report - like his report of Gates.

Was The former Japanese PM, Shinzo Abe's assassination faked??? ⁣https://153news.net/watch_video.php?v=9YH2YRNK31N8

The protection protocol was a bit lax. Not that anyone would have suspected a shooting in Japan. It's practically unheard of. But seeing those two guys jump in behind Abe, wow, reminds me of the Reagan shooting. Turn and make yourself bigger. I think I'm missing that gene.

A Japanese Group that has an objective of "protecting children from the VaXXX" is now a dark sinister conspiracy theory force?

Foreign politics is confusing, well More Confusing than our own domestic cluster F, but I'm not biting on the "Corbett Report" thingy.

As far as "Domestic" the good news is that the Satanic Georgia Guidestones have returned to dust and gravel. The NWO Cabal Fake Coup Gov residing in the WH is going to collapse along with the Feral Reserve "dollar". CYA it's going to get Frisky.

There is another option: Abe's "death" may have been pre-arranged and he is live and fit as a fiddle. That path might be worth investigating, too.

Photos or videos prove literally nothing anymore.

Definitely a ghost gun- easily accessible online. Many prime suspects as to who could have encouraged this individual to act- including any communist. Or anyone directly affected by "Abenomics". It's ominous for anyone who is anti-communism- including any Trump or DeSantis candidate...

Consider the possibility that his assassination was a deep fake. There is plenty of evidence for this on analysis of available video. Even without detailed inspection, the gunman was at least 30 feet away with a crude firearm. 2 shots and none of security in close proximity hurt. With the accuracy of the gun shown, the “shooter” would have had a 99% chance of being arrested for an attempted assassination.
