Abe Shinzo Spent His Last Days Advocating for Defending Taiwan from a Belligerent China

Former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo spent much of his public effort in the months leading up to his assassination on Friday advocating for defending the nation of Taiwan from a potential Chinese invasion, outraging the Communist Party into threatening a “bloodbath” if he did not stop.

Abe served as prime minister for a year in 2006 and again from 2012 to 2020, making him the country’s longest-serving leader in that role. He resigned in 2020, citing a longtime struggle with ulcerative colitis that had also curtailed his first term in office, but he remained a prominent figure in Japanese and international politics in the two years following his second resignation.

Abe died on Friday after an assassin, identified as Yamagami Tetsuya, shot him twice with what reports currently indicate appeared to be a homemade firearm. Japanese media report that Yamagami confessed to the crime but claimed to not have a “political grudge” against the former prime minister.

Abe was the longtime leader of the conservative Liberal Democratic Party (LDP), which has for years advocated for Japan to elevate its status as a defense power, including potentially establishing a proper military. Japan does not have armed forces – only “Self-Defense Forces” in light of its post-World War II constitution.

As part of his advocacy for Japan to elevate itself as a defense heavyweight, Abe had grown increasingly vocal in insisting that China invading neighboring Taiwan, a sovereign country that China insists falsely is a rogue province under Beijing, would be an “emergency” for Japan.

I wonder if China had a hand in his death? It would be in their best interests after all.

[Texas Fossil]

Was he assassinated by ChiCom agents?

They have declared asymmetrical War against the West and our allies?

[cgbg]

Sun Tzu advocated assassination as a tool of war....

[skeeter]

I’m sure they did. Just as the biggest story of the century will be eventual news of China’s meddling in the 2019 election.

Abe also dared to speak out against the globohomo narrative.

[chajin]

There have been conspiratorial assassinations throughout much of Japanese history, including a dozen or so in the 20th century, but this is not one of them. The assassin is a Nara nutcase, of which there have others in Japanese history as well, the best known one being the subway sarin attack a few decades back.

On Steve Bannon’s War Room this morning, he was talking with Eric Prince about Abe’s assassination and equating it to the assassination of Crown Prince Ferdinand’s assassination triggering WW I and history potentially repeating itself

CIA heaping more anti-China hysteria on the flames of neocon debt slavery alongside the negative airplay China is suffering due to the Ft. Detrick engineered Covid virus. Key neocon triggering concepts - BRICS and Belt and Road.

Must read: “The Secret War Against the Jews” by John Loftus and Mark Aarons available on Amazon.

Ping.

[Seruzawa]

China is at least as good at MK-ULTRA as the FBI.

[Texas Fossil]

I can understand that connection.

It is a canary in the mine, type of event.

The Globalist Players are quite capable of doing something like this.

They have a special place assigned in hell.

[Bayard]

Imagine a Japan which wants to return to war.

Perhaps Taiwan could be a claim a resurgent Japanese empire might claim.

But their demographics are problematic, unless there is a change in 15 years.

[mewzilla]

FWIW, I’d suspect Japan’s Deep State.

They’ve got one, too.

[Texas Fossil]

I doubt they are as large as ours.

But they have other black elements too.

My gut tells me the Japanese did not do this. That the #ChiCom’s Did.

[Vigilanteman]

Unlike Korea (which was governed by Japan military occupation until the end of World War II), relations with Taiwan are quite good. There are several reasons for that including:

1. The fact that it was a Japanese province for 50 years. They were treated as near equals; not a military conquest.
   
2. Very heavy investments by both nations with the other, including Taiwan building semi-conductor plants in Japan.
   
3. Very similar views against Communism for similar reasons.

[Honcho]

Makes you wonder especially considering details on the shooter have been pretty thin so far.

“...Advocating for Defending Taiwan from a Belligerent China...”

Sure sounds like it.
