I’m not a member of the unification church, nor would I consider them part of orthodox Christianity, but what’s being discussed is significant. There is a global attack on Christianity taking place right now and while I may think of the Unification Church as a cult, the Japanese government considers them Christian. There is littlerally zero evidence the unification church had any involvement in Abe’s assassination. This does not mean there is no evidence of a criminal enterprise involvement in Abe’s assassination. On Dec 1, 2021 Abe made a comment at a virtual forum organized by the Institute for National Policy Research in Taiwan were Abe vowed Japans support for Taiwan if China attacks. Abe said that if China took military action against Taiwan it would lead to “economic suicide” for China. China’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Wang Wenbin later responded to Abe’s comments. Part of his response was very alarming., and it’s been translated three different ways: "Anyone who dares to take the old path of militarism and challenge the bottom line of the Chinese people will inevitably run into bumps and bruises”. (China Daily) “Anyone who dares to repeat militarism and challenge the bottom line of the Chinese people will surely be shattered in the face." (Japan Today) Those who cross China's red lines "will have their heads broken and bloodied," (Newsweek) No matter which translation you pick, the Chinese Communist Party made make a clear threat on Abe’s life. Furthermore, the CCP has the means and capability to pull it off something of this nearly impossible magnitude. Yet no one bothers to look into Yamagami’s ties to China! Oddly I don’t see any articles speaking about how this gun was built, where the materials were acquired, and most importantly, how did he get ammunition in a country that has some of the most heavily regulated gun laws? What kind of bullets did he use? The evidence is literally being ignored! Then theres China’s response. Before Abe death was announced, they were celebrating his death in China. Rumors were being spread on Chinese social media that right wing forces were behind Abe’s assassination. A day or two following Abe’s death, China Daily published a series of political cartoons that included Abe’s head on a grenade, and other dark images. I do think there are people who quietly believe the CCP has some involvement; but if you are a public figure, do want to risk the same fate if your a lone voice? Based on everything I’ve read and watched, it appears to me that China framed this narrative, and Japan took the bait. Instead of looking into the Chinese official who threatened Abe’s life, Japans media focused on a church, not based on any evidence, but on an isolated claim by the assassin that the church made his life uncomfortable. If this is allowed to stand, your freedom of religion, even in America, is in jeopardy. Anti-Christian hate is being spread globally, sometimes disguised with words like Christian Nationalism! Communist hate religion, so why wouldn’t they make baseless claims against a church, especially if it could have a global effect!
