State funerals are rare in Japan. The last one was held in 1967 for former Prime Minister Shigeru Yoshida, who signed the San Francisco peace treaty that ended the country's occupation by U.S.-led Allied forces in the aftermath of World War II.

”State funerals are rare…”

This individual, who apparently was worthy of a state funeral, didn’t have enough security. In fact, his security team was a complete joke. We now know that his safety was in jeopardy all along. Something doesn’t quite add up …

Japan plans to convene a three-day extra Diet session from Aug. 3 to choose a new president of the upper house and for a memorial speech to be delivered for former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe who was shot to death on the campaign trail earlier this month, ruling party lawmakers said Tuesday.

Enough of that bs. How about a three-day weekend?

Opposition parties have been calling for a longer session to seek an explanation as to why the government is holding a funeral fully funded by the state.

Should use the extraordinary session to have a January 6th style investigation of the ties of the LDP and the Unification Church, given Abe's brother the Defense Minister has also shown to have ties.

It great they save money on only having men’s washrooms as there is no need for women’s ones.

San Francisco peace treaty where the USA caution to Japan not to claim sovereignty of the Japanese islands seized by the USSR or the USA would keep Okinawa

Horrible photo.

A mass of men, cheap suits, cheap watches and probable unknown counts of bad breath.

In 2022, a photo like this is a disgrace. Abe's womenomics policies obviously didn't work.

 investigation of the ties of the LDP and the Unification Church, given Abe's brother the Defense Minister has also shown to have ties.

As early as 1570, Portuguese Slave traders working on behalf of the Jesuits kidnapped Japanese to work in Europe. The Shogun put a stop to it when word got to him a couple decades later. Christians have been meddling in Japan for a long time. They started it and continue to do so to this day. 

Does anyone know what the head of the Jesuits, Black Pope Adolfo Nicolas was doing living in Japan, a nation of less than 0.4% Catholics, until the time of his death in May 2020? Maybe Taro Aso knows.

Japan is historically a country of Shinbutsu-Shuugo, the syncretism of Shinto and Buddhism. The 15 year old puppet doppelganger Meiji Emperor decreed that the two should split which is where much of this mess can be traced back to. Shinto is open ended enough to encompass All, including religions, so I pray in accordance with the instructions of Jesus at Shrines... yet anyone that associates with a Christian organization is a traitor. 

Lutheran denominations included.

Here's the kicker. "Yamagami" and Abe's assassination have nothing to do with the Unification Church. The whole backstory is a fabrication to rid of this particular problem because it's efficient. Samurai zen secret, don't tell anyone.
