Just after U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson and practically most of his administration had resigned, making headlines everywhere, another leader was removed, permanently: former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was assassinated last night during a speech.
The Japanese Times (JT) reports that Abe succumbed to his injuries and died in the hospital after being struck by gunshots. He was 67. Paradoxically, he was a longtime conservative of the Liberal Democratic Party (LDP).
‘Abe was shot in an apparent assassination attempt Friday during a stump speech for Sunday’s Upper House election. The killing of the former leader shocked the nation and reverberated around the globe, The JT wrote.
The JT has provided an on-going string of updates to the story.
Here are some of the details courtesy of the JT:
Moments before he was fatally shot from behind on Friday, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was doing what he’d done for decades in politics: getting up close to the crowds and stumping for a local candidate.
As is typical in Japan, where violent crime is rare and guns are scarce, security appeared to be light on Friday morning as Abe spoke at an intersection outside the Yamato-Saidaiji Station in the city of Nara.
Roads weren’t blocked off and a bus and a van passed behind Abe’s exposed back as he spoke to the crowd of a few hundred. Two helmeted riders on scooters turned in front of him. Inside a passing hatchback car, someone waved in excited recognition at Japan’s longest-serving prime minister.
Here’s what we know so far about the shooter in the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe:
Authorities have told local media that Tetsuya Yamagami, 41, was arrested after the attack on charges of attempted murder. Video of the attack showed the shooter approach Abe from behind as he was giving a speech, firing two shots. Security officials then quickly tackled a man in a gray T-shirt and beige trousers.
Several media outlets, citing the Defense Ministry, said Yamagami had spent three years in the Maritime Self-Defense Force, leaving the service around 2005.
He reportedly used a “handmade” weapon resembling a shotgun in the attack. Japan has strict gun laws that make obtaining a firearm extremely difficult.
NHK reported that Yamagami had told police after his arrest that he “was frustrated with the former prime minister and targeted Abe with the intention of killing him.”
A possible explosive device was found at the home of the suspect in the assassination of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, NHK reported, citing authorities.
Police have asked residents and those in the vicinity to leave the area as they proceed with removing the apparent explosives.
World leaders have all sent their condolences and respects for Abe.
U.S. Presidents Biden, Obama, and Trump all weighed in:
While there are many details that we do not yet know, we know that violent attacks are never acceptable and that gun violence always leaves a deep scar on the communities that are affected by it.
This is a tragedy for Japan and for all who knew him. Even at the moment he was attacked, he was engaged in the work of democracy.
The United States stands with Japan in this moment of grief. I send my deepest condolences to his family.
Biden stated, reported by Breitbart
[Abe was] my friend and longtime partner. [He was] devoted to both the country he served and the extraordinary alliance between the United States and Japan.President Obama said
Hopefully [the assassin] be dealt with swiftly and harshly.
He was a unifier like no other, but above all, he was a man who loved and cherished his magnificent country, Japan. Shinzo Abe will be greatly missed.
President Trump stated
Abe was also allied with the Vatican. Roman Catholic outlet Crux reports Abe had good relations with Pope Francis, and hosted him during his visit to Japan in 2019.
Both agreed on to continue to advocate for a world without nuclear weapons, eradication of poverty, human rights and the protection of environment.
Though both agreed upon to make more effort to aim at the same goals on such critical issues, both also found out that approaches of Mr. Abe and the Holy Father was not the same.
The Holy Father is much more radical to make commitment to realize some of these goals but Mr. Abe was much more cautious to realize his own political agenda. That was, I guess, one of the reasons why the Holy Father did not ma[k]e any mention on the death penalty nor nuclear energy policy until he had boarded the flight back to Rome.
Archbishop Isao Kikuchi of Tokyo told Crux
Nevertheless, Kikuchi explained,
Though we Catholic Bishops of Japan and the late Prime Minister had great differences in opinion over several issues including nuclear disarmament, nuclear energy policy and the pacifist constitution, Mr. Abe showed great respect to the Catholic Church, particularly to the Holy See as he must have understood the influence of the Holy Father on international society over the peace issue.
That is the main reason why he put quite an energy to invite the Holy Father to visit Japan and he even appointed for very first time a Catholic as the ambassador to the Holy See. While sending a number of envoys to meet Holy Father to invite him to visit Japan, he himself also visited the Holy Father in the Vatican in 2014.
Stirring The Pot
According to a new report courtesy of Breitbart, Abe was on the campaign trail advocating that the nation of Taiwan needed to be defended from a Chinese invasion – something Biden and the U.S. have made very clear that they promise to do as well.
Breitbart wrote,
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.
Under communist dictator Xi Jinping, China has grown increasingly belligerent on the issue of Taiwan, repeatedly threatening an invasion. Xi himself promised in a 2019 speech that anyone supporting Taiwan as a sovereign state would have their “bones ground to powder.”
Abe first appeared to return to political prominence in 2021 after some time in private life following his resignation. Reports in November indicated the former prime minister was planning to visit Taiwan to show support in person.
A month later, Abe publicly affirmed, “a Taiwan emergency is a Japanese emergency,” a mantra he would repeat often for what ended up being the rest of his life. The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded by promising a bloodbath.
Anyone who dares to return to the old path of militarism and defy the limits of the Chinese people will face a bloodbath.
Foreign Ministry spokesman Wang Wenbin warned in December
The Foreign Ministry’s official English-language transcript of Wang’s remarks omitted the word “bloodbath,” instead translating his warning as, “Those who dare to pursue the old path of militarism and challenge our bottom line will find themselves on a collision course with the Chinese people!”
Abe did not heed the warning. The former government head held a video conversation with Taiwanese President Tsai Ing-wen in March, repeating the call for the world to defend the island democracy.
Last year, at a seminar held by a Taiwan think tank, I said that if Taiwan has a problem, then Japan has a problem, and the Japan-US alliance also has a problem.
Of course, this was a way of expressing my own sense of urgency, and I myself advocated for the concept of a free and open Indo-Pacific. The vast Indo-Pacific Ocean where Taiwan and Japan are located must be an ocean in which we can maintain freedom and openness.
Abe told Tsai
Abe asserted in a column published in April that Russia’s expansion of its eight-year-old invasion of Ukraine two months prior should be a call for the United States to abandon its policy of “strategic ambiguity” with Taiwan. The policy consists of Washington not formally recognizing Taiwan as a state or engaging in any military pacts with it, but selling Taiwan weapons and hinting that it would support the island nation in the event of a Chinese invasion. Neither China nor Taiwan have any certainty regarding how America would act in the event of a Chinese attack.
Given the change in circumstances since the policy of strategic ambiguity was adopted, the U.S. should issue a statement that is not open to misinterpretation or multiple interpretations. The time has come for the U.S. to make clear that it will defend Taiwan against any attempted Chinese invasion.”
The human tragedy that has befallen Ukraine has taught us a bitter lesson. There must no longer be any room for doubt in our resolve concerning Taiwan, and in our determination to defend freedom, democracy, human rights and the rule of law.
Abe wrote in April
The Chinese Foreign Ministry responded to the column at the time through a statement, by – bizarrely – China’s ambassador to Liberia, Ren Yisheng.
The Taiwan question is purely China’s own affair and none of Japan’s business. It is dangerous and futile for some people in Japan to mention Taiwan and Ukraine in the same breath and incite ‘breakthroughs’ in the relations with Taiwan.
Ren wrote.
Nearly a month before his death, Abe again defied China’s warnings, issuing remarks in the Axios Outlook Symposium encouraging Western countries, especially America, to “create a situation in which China will relinquish its goal of militarily taking over Taiwan,” Taiwan News paraphrased.
We must not underestimate their [China’s] efforts. Any infringement on Taiwan is an infringement on Japan.
Abe repeated
AUTHOR COMMENTARY
First and foremost, it should be noted and emphasized once again:
[1] And there came one of the seven angels which had the seven vials, and talked with me, saying unto me, Come hither; I will shew unto thee the judgment of the great whore that sitteth upon many waters: [2] With whom the kings of the earth have committed fornication, and the inhabitants of the earth have been made drunk with the wine of her fornication. [4] And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: [5] And upon her forehead was a name written, MYSTERY, BABYLON THE GREAT, THE MOTHER OF HARLOTS AND ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. [15] And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues. [18] And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.Revelation 17:1-2, 4-5, 15, 18
Abe, like all these political leaders are subservient to the Vatican, and are just puppets whom Mystery Babylon directs what to say and do at their volition.
Abe’s assassination demonstrates that he like all the rest of the political pawns are just merely expendable. For Abe to be assassinated, there is a much deeper play at hand: it was not just some random act of violence, for the mainstream media narrative simply is not the whole truth. Perhaps Abe was not towing the Vatican’s line, and so he was made an example out of when you don’t do what they say – Kennedy’s assassination comes to mind (whose killer was a trained Jesuit), or in the case of the various African leaders last year that were “put down” for not obeying the Covid edicts. This is all purely speculation on my part, but for one on those reasons (or both) I listed is why I think Abe was offed.
I also noted yesterday with Boris Johnson’s exit, I predicted that we are going to see more regime changes; and while Abe was not the current Prime Minister, he certainly carried great influence, and I think the handlers need a clean slate to work with.
Furthermore, just like the U.S. and NATO have made it clear that they will involve themselves in more foreign entanglements, Japan has also been stirring the pot.
[6] And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. [7] For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. [8] All these are the beginning of sorrows.Matthew 24:6-8
It is currently still in the rumor phase, but this year I have been reporting on how China is greatly preparing to invade Taiwan; and the U.S. and NATO are posturing that they will do the same thing they are doing with Ukraine right now: levying asinine restrictions that are obviously designed to backfire upon us, while stealing even more of our money and driving up inflation to fund a proxy war that is already lost, and will be dragged out as long as the elites want it to.
I need not explain to you what would happen if the U.S. does a similar play to China as to the Ukraine… But in short, the famine will be IMMENSE, it would happen overnight and America would completely crumble in a week, as the media and hirelings tell everyone things are getting better, or, ‘If only Trump was our slave master…’

- China Flies More Bombers And Jets Over Taiwan Putting Nation On High Alert
- Biden Says US Would Respond Militarily If China Attacks Taiwan, But White House Walks Back Comments

As I said, we are in the rumor phase, but I think it would be prudent to assume and expect China to eventually go after Taiwan, and probably do a repeat of Russia-Ukraine, but with more devastating effects to the West and the U.S. Therefore, continue to prepare the best that you can, and continually pray to the Lord for protection and guidance.

Kennedy’s assassination comes to mind (whose killer was a trained Jesuit)
Who was his killer?
I know it wasn’t Lee Oswald
I believe he was shot from the underground sewer and the car he was in came to a complete stop so they could get a clear shot on JFK
Lee Harvey Oswald was a fall guy, a decoy so to speak. The real assassin who I have no clue was still, was for sure a Jesuit.
John F. Kennedy was a devout Roman Catholic and he got out of line and as a result, he was a sitting duck.
America opened the door for Roman Catholicism to come into America far before Kennedy. Pennsylvania was very lenient and flexible with religious traditions and practices and that left the door open for the Vatican to seep in. The state of Maryland (Mary-Land) was a haven for “persecuted Catholics,” and of course church buildings coming in plus Freemasons who also started the church building tradition bondage, and rejecting the King James Bible as well as betraying Israel, that’s when Rome took control of America.
Pennsylvania was predominantly mystical Quaker which in earlier days was much more closely connected with the King James Bible & Bible belief. For a time, that hindered those tendencies & preserved, but the more fleshly/carnally charismatic, man-worshipping & -trusting, & mystical it became, the easier for popery to insinuate itself & work its ‘more merciful’ ecumenical magic with wiggle room for flesh, sin, lasciviousness & worldly ambition & power. Their ‘second chance’ purgatory & mass ponzi scheme, sensuous idolatry & ritual, spiritism, gnosis and work-your-way-to-salvation things are appealing to proud & sinful flesh.
–
William Penn, and worldly, craft-influenced & very carnal Benjamin Franklyn are the most famous Quakers that people tend to have at least heard of. …even if just seen on a box of Quaker Oats…lol. And it’s sad how many think the Deist Franklyn was a Christian with a few quotes craftily taken out of context & used to that end of deceit, then quoted in untried, non-proving ignorance.
–
Prosperity also brought its temptations to accommodation with the world & Rome….though the memories of the brutal persecutions of Rome & the Augustinian Daughters both tended to keep some real distance & distrust between the Quakers & Rome in the beginning. Giving excuses to secretive manipulations, too….roots of bitterness springing up & defiling.
–
The tendency to a spiritistic form of useless, impotent for the Gospel of Christ according to the scriptures, separation which turned inward & no longer confronted the world from that position of separation & circumspect living with public preaching bringing the conviction of sin & the Gospel requiring repentance toward God & faith in the Lord Jesus Christ, the Gospel according to the scriptures (Acts 20 & 1 Cor 15) was also strong, especially with the Amish who came into Pennsylvania, splitting off the Mennonite anabaptists.
–
Those pacifist Mennonite anabaptists came, too, with a form of social justice, Manifest Destiny, & feminine charismatic tendencies of their own. There’s this ‘thing’ when men leave off manliness & the duty & responsibility of God to protect & defend, to fight: going soft & manipulative, political or scholastic….does that make sense? The former priest, Menno Simons, brought some of Romish Augustinian philosophy & doctrine with him, & constant harsh persecution can indeed weary a people. We’ve all so many temptations, & just look at all the spotted history of even the best of the Old Testament heroes of the faith: not excused, just honestly portrayed.
–
Anyways, as a result, they tend to be prone to ecumenical & globalist political intrigue, which Rome is the master (mistress?) of orchestrating & directing.
–
One must be very careful with what history & explanations are put forth in these things for there are many craft wolves like David Barton, John MacArthur & the Calvinist Augustinian clutch who demean all of the baptistic peoples as being ignorant, lawless & loose, at fault for allowing Rome to come back in….when the Augustinians & Protesting & Reforming Daughters never fully came out of her to Christ & pilgrim Christianity in the first place themselves: and are now, admittedly with many of the formerly biblical baptistic groups, in the majority falling back to her!
–
All the idolatrous humanist cults all like to wrest & revise, misrepresent history, too, & so long as antichrist Rome is submitted to & her true nature & history not addressed & confronted, so long as she is acknowledged as historical & ‘progressing/evolving’ ‘Christianity’, it’s been suffered & works to her endgame antichrist agenda & Babylonian re-unification. She thinks. God allows it to the manifesting of many hearts, his foreknowledge declaring the end from the beginning. Isaiah 46 and 1 Peter 1.
–
The bloody tenet of forced conformity persecution marks them historically, but the false changing of the grace of God into lasciviousness, the ‘luv’ & ‘more merciful’ thing does, too. (Ironically, the Quran is not the ‘Holy’ Quran, but the More Merciful Quran….more merciful to the sins of the powerful in the spirit of survival of the fittest etc, suffering abuse of women, pedophilia, using sinners to the fulfilment of unholy lusts, cunning taquiya lying & deceit, bloodiness etc. ….very much like Rome, very pagan & worldly in nature & ambition. And gnostic antichrist Rome & the idolatrous humanist Buddhists, as traditionally the Japanese, merge more easily than most care to admit or acknowledge….w/ craft corrupted ‘Christianity’ actively involved in cultivating the Babylonian ‘unification’ )
–
That ‘mercy’ flatteringly applied selectively & cunningly to the ‘right’ people at the ‘right’ times in order to amass wealth & power, to cultivate sin & manipulate self-righteousness, self-justification etc.
–
They look like opposites, and Luther called them the two ditches lining the narrow way, but they are really rooted in the same antichrist ground of pride, sin, self-righteousness & playing ‘God’: those old, old lies of Satan through the Serpent in Genesis 3.
–
Their common ground is proud, unrepentant sin & pursuit of power, greed, ending in lawlessness, sodomy &……bloody forced conformity in the name of liberty & Christ, using the word ….not believing it, worshipping God in spirit & in truth, but wielding it as a false & illegitimate rod: as a wand, and spell. Calling good evil and evil good, claiming to be of God while hating, persecuting & slandering those who are.
–
Those ‘opposites’ & ‘diversities’ supposedly so different & even hating one another can merge in a heartbeat when faced with a common threat & enemy, be it Christ or his witnesses wielding & preaching, proving all things by the word of God with that offending light exposing all their MYSTERY occulted spirituality & carefully cloaked sins.
–
And they are subtle, false religionists & shepherds deceiving many as when Christ confronted them: pharisees, sadduccees and herodians. Paul, the former Saul & pharisee, understood them well & demonstrated it in Acts 23.
You nailed it.
The quakers and also the calvinists who I’m sure were conceived by a Jesuit/Freemason, and church buildings – the first baptist cult center being funded by lottery money in 1700 no joke.
Maryland (take the word apart Mary-Land) which became a haven for “persecuted Catholics” and also the Irish who were hardcore Catholic came to America to New York mostly.
The denominations which come from the Vatican and were started by Freemasons who have sold their souls to the devil began popping up.
Little by little, the King James Bible was rejected more and more, the very first Bible PerVersion the ESV came out, and then come the seminaries with their alexandrian doctrine also from the Vatican came in.
As you said, the quakers with their mystics which are nowhere commanded in Scripture and is an open doorway to the occult.
From there, the pope was able to get ahold of America.

This will definitely have huge repercussions on Japan. It will also be used as an excuse to increase security, no doubt.
Drucker and MacArthur served the Babylonian unification thing well. All they did was occult the open paganism of emperor worship in sophist idolatrous humanism, drawing Japan in under Rome acting through the U.S. after they put us back under occulted Romish European control in 1913, 1933 etc, and made the U.S. dollar the world currency. Puppets & fall guys manipulated through their individual pet sins. How wicked this world is.
