The mother of the man arrested for the killing of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe is a member of the Unification Church, the church's Japan head said on Monday (Jul 11).

A police investigation into the assassination of former Japanese prime minister Shinzo Abe prompted the head of the country's branch of the Unification Church to confirm on Monday that the mother of the suspect in the killing is a member.

Tetsuya Yamagami, an unemployed 41-year-old, has been identified by police as the suspect who approached Abe and opened fire during a campaign speech on Friday, an attack that was captured on video and shocked a nation where gun violence is rare.

Is the Unification Church anything like the Church of Scientology? The C of S swindless rich people off their money and apparently this Korean church does the same too.

They are the believe whatever you want all truth is relative, and lets just call ourselves a church type thing.

From what I read the Moonies were contributors to Abe’s party and the shooter accused Abe of promoting “Moonieism”

The Unification Church also owns the Washington Times. It’s safe to say that it’s typically well to the right of most churches.

Would not be surprised if figures inside the church were donors to the LDP.

They hit me up at the airport once in the 80’s. I did an “Airplane” thing on them.

They teach that Jesus’ real mission was to beget a perfect race, but he failed because of that incident on Golgotha, so Sun Myung Moon came to try it again. They are among the worst of cults.

The Moonies of South Korea, infiltrated by North Korean agents owned by the Chinese Communists? Would not doubt it one bit.

And a one up— never forget the stirred up enmity against the Empire of Japan from the Koreans for their abuse of Korean “comfort women”. This was and is a political murder by a pant’s pissing little developed creep with a huge LIE for a story. Kim Jong Un shot missiles over japan don’t forget, while threatening US shipping and country, and while the Chi-Coms have fully stolen and developed naval bases on Phillipine small islands along the China Straits. The Chi-Coms call those straits “their” ocean. There is a long arm of aggressive behaviour against the Japanese, and yes against the Vietnamese (see: Cambodia naval base being built by Chi-Coms. To harrass the Vietnamese). Trump really irritated the chi-coms and almost got the Norks to align away from being chi-com slaves.

The chi-coms, btw— infected Kim Jong Un with Covid— so he would die and they’d replace him with his psycho whacko sister— a real evil person.

Japan is so completely devoid of religion, there are great swaths of people that yearn for it and about the same amount that have utter contempt for those who yearn for it.

My observations were Shinto is more of a touristy thing/tax dodge than actual religion.

Mom looks like a yearner, son looks like a contemptor.

Sun Myung Moon, founder of the “Moonies,” is the father of Justin Moon, founder, president and CEO of Kahr arms.

Justin chose the name “Kahr” because he thought is sounded Germanic, and he hoped that would prevent the America-based company being seen as ‘Asian.’
