Almost half of Japan's governing lawmakers had ties to the Unification Church! HALF!!! What started with the assassination of the former prime minister ended up unraveling into a potential government corruption crisis for Japan. Follow for more.

I like to live life in the extremes. Either working extremely hard in complete isolation or partying extremely hard. There is no middle ground.

The former prime minister of Japan was assassinated, and it was because of his connections to a very evil cult. Let me explain. 👇 #ShinzoAbe

When Yamagami said he killed Abe because of his association with the Unification Church, the current Japanese government started taking a hard look at the cult. They even did an internal investigation. And quickly discovered…

@elonmusk there's a big black market for Twitter and IG handles, maybe build a way to resell your Twitter handle and Twitter takes a small %?

He was going to assassinate Shinzo Abe. And the craziest part of it all is that this senseless act of violence actually might have accomplished exactly what Yamagami wanted.

All of the church’s wealth was fueled by donations from people like Shinzo Abe’s killer’s mother. His mother donated around ¥100 million Yen to the Unification Church. That’s well over 700,000 American dollars today with the current conversion rate.

Like many modern crucifixions before him (Martin Shkreli & Elizabeth Holmes), the US justice system will still probably bury him. Follow for more.

And that’s when he saw Shinzo Abe's video. In the video, he praised the Church leader Hak Ja Han Moon. Gushing over how much he appreciated her efforts in promoting traditional family values. It was the final straw. In his mind the decision had already been made:

And given a ton of other things that we cover in our video on this… Do you really think Sam would be dumb enough to break US laws? Do you think he would be dumb enough to mess with US depositors? I would bet that he’s innocent in the only jurisdiction that matters. BUT…

He killed the former prime minister because of one thing. Shinzo Abe’s deep ties with the evil cult that ruined his life. The Unification Church.

Abe is shot with a homemade gun and falls to the ground. Bleeding out but still conscious. Some people rush to help Mr. Abe. Others tackle the shooter who doesn’t make an attempt to run away. Less than 6 hours later Shinzo Abe is pronounced dead.

In the early 60s, the South Korean church’s leader became very close friends with a Japanese man named Nobusuke Kishi…Japan’s prime minister and Shinzo Abe’s grandfather. YUP, Before he was even born, Shinzo Abe’s family had deep ties to the Unification Church.

His mom mainly came up with the money by selling real estate and by giving away her dead husband’s life insurance policy. The church drained her bank account and the Yamagami family went bankrupt. Tetsuya Yamagami felt powerless. He had to do something….

On July 8th, 2022, Shinzo Abe, Japan's longest-serving former prime minister, steps up on stage and starts delivering a speech. @AbeShinzo The crowd was so captivated that nobody notices the man creeping up behind the former prime minister. That’s when it happened…

And the killer in custody, 42-year-old Tetsuya Yamagami, made sure everyone knew crystal clear why he did it:

MONEY. And they were experts at extracting it out of members. The Unification Church liked to coax its members into “spiritual sales”. Offering people supernatural powers from God, and to cleanse them of their sins, all for a very hefty price. And who did they target?

Grieving elderly people who are searching for hope. Thousands of people have claimed that the church conned them out of about $863 million dollars over the years. “It is a business based on religion,” said a professor at Busan Presbyterian University.

Long before the shooting, Tetsuya Yamagami had a plan. For years his anger and resentment towards the Unification Church brewed. He wasn’t a member himself but the most important person in his life was: his mother.

With Kishi’s help, the Unification Church started quickly seeping into Japanese culture and politics. Soon the Unification Church had millions of followers and became one of the biggest religions in Japan. But the church was after one thing and one thing only:

What no one talks about is how SBF’s parents are law professors. But not just any law professors, they’re some of the best law professors in America! They teach at Stanford, the second best law school in the US, and what kind of law do they specialize in?
