He was a friend of Trump?

Media disinterest summed up in three words - Friend of Trump.

What else is there to talk about? To keep something in the news there has to be developing events.

I was going to say it pails in comparison to JFK until I saw the words “chinese connection”.

I never heard that claim before. Oh boy another rabbit hole...

Because his murder was planned as part of the great reset. We must fight back more and more each day.

Abe is dead. The assassin is in custody. The weapon has been found. The motive has been identified. What are you expecting to happen?

They caught the guy and he was a whack job.

What more do you need to hear?

He was a Japanese politician. Given the lack of interest in covering non Western political events the amount of coverage and interest shown by the media over the murder is quite high.

What I find most troubling is that most of the coverage Japanese media give now (at least English-language ones like the Mainichi or JapanToday) is about Japanese politicians who have connections to the Moonies. Abe’s assassin targeted him because of a supposed connection to the Moonies, and because the assassin blamed the Moonies for ruining his family because of the large donations his mother, a member, made. But even so, it seems like the J-media is playing right into the assassin’s hands by scrutinizing politicians for connections to that cult.

>> Why has the Abe Assassination Vanished From News?

Until the lemmings wake up and confront the vertical MSM structure, nothing changes.

I came here to make a Lincoln reference, but now that I'm here ... Abe wasn't in power anymore, so his assassination wasn't of JFK importance. Plus Kennedy had the whole charisma thing going. Abe may have been a more consequential figure in real terms, but he didn't have the glamour and the mystique.

Abe's assassination must have been a shock for the Japanese. Was it as much of a shock for them as the Olaf Palme assassination was for the Swedes or the Utøya Island mass murder was for the Norwegians?

Somehow I don't think so. Sweden, Norway, and Japan pride themselves on being peaceful, close-knit countries, but I suspect the Japanese are more realistic and suspicious about what people are really capable of even in peaceful, close-knit countries.

“Why has the Abe murder vanished from the news?”
Because the video of the assassination was fuzzy and incomplete.

Directives given from above, would be my guess.

What are they supposed to be saying? The guy is dead, the perp is caught. Story over. Also it’s on the other side of the planet and nobody in America gives a damn or even heard of the guy before he got killed. From an American media point of view this story is 150% over. Heck even from the Japanese point of view, there’s nothing to report. Abe is still dead. And no there is no possible Chinese connection.

Maybe the resignation of the whole government of Japan has a parting it.

He wasn’t an adorable animal. Cats and dogs, even goats and horses, get all the news coverage, and people will watch them over and over on Tik Tok videos.

Simple.

A message was sent and received by the intended targets. Killed by a nut driven crazy over the Moonies is the cover story for us. The actual message is “This is what happens to major political figures that still support Trump or his policies”.

Same with the Kennedy assassination. Lone gunman was the public cover story. Actual message is that you will do as you’re told. Regardless of your office or popularity.

It’s why they’re out to get Trump. He wasn’t brought up through proper channels and refuses to play by their rules.

Because it’s Japan and Americans can’t be f*cked to bother with anything outside the US?
