Back to Bad and Possibly Crazy News.

Abe was killed because he was too close to a cult (as was his LDP party) that destroyed many lives in Japan. Seriously did not expect that. 

According to Britain’s Financial Times, Moon founded a conglomerate called Tongil Group in South Korea in 1963, and its affiliates now operate ski and golf resorts, a defence company, a chemicals group, a car parts business and a newspaper. In the United States, the church’s business interests include the conservative Washington Times newspaper, the New Yorker Hotel in New York, the True World Foods seafood wholesaler and a vast property portfolio, it said.

Despite the complaints over its fundraising practices in Japan, the church continued to find favour among LDP politicians, with whom it shared conservative values, including opposition to LGBTQ rights.

The assassin's mother ended up sending close to a million to this cult and destroyed many of the young man's hopes. 

So I didn't expect anything like this and will have to say (given current evidence) that it's one of the rare examples of the weak striking out against the powerful. It looks like LDP is in crisis mode. One can only hope that the left in Japan manages to take over. Though the super low voter participation there is something to behold. [1] We'll see. 

[1] Been low for a few elections. I wonder why. I did hear something about the US interfering when a left party did win, so who knows (rumor from what I know).
