At noon on November 22, 1963, when then-US President John F. Kennedy was driving through the busiest streets of Dallas, Texas, in an open-top sedan, preparing for a "maximum contact between the president and the people", a gunman who had been lurking for a long time, Oswald, suddenly attacked, Kennedy was shot in the head, and died that afternoon, at the age of 46.
On July 8, 59 years after Kennedy's assassination, former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was also assassinated by a gunman named Tetsuya Yamagami during a speech on the streets of Nara City, and eventually died of his injuries at the age of 67.
Combining various factors and details, there are many "similarities" between the assassination of Kennedy 59 years ago and the shooting death of Shinzo Abe today, at least 5 similarities.
1, Kennedy and Abe were both killed by shooting, and both were fatally injured, and died on the day of the shooting.
2, Kennedy and Abe are both "heroes" in their own political arenas at the time of the shooting. Kennedy needless to say, as president at that time, naturally radiant.
Abe, Japan's longest-serving prime minister and Japan's youngest post-war prime minister, even though he resigned due to illness the year before, last year he became the president of the Hosoda faction, the largest faction of Japan's ruling Liberal Democratic Party.
3, The timing of kennedy and Abe's assassinations is sensitive.
The year after Kennedy's assassination was the U.S. presidential election. Shortly after Abe's assassination, it was the Election of the House of Representatives of Japan, and his speech on the streets of Nara City was also aimed at assisting and canvassing for a local LDP Senate candidate.
Moreover, the site of Kennedy's assassination happened to be the first stop of his busy day; When Abe was assassinated in the street, the speech had only just begun for a few minutes.
4, the gunmen who assassinated Kennedy and Abe, both have military backgrounds.
Among them, oswald, the gunman who assassinated Kennedy, was a former member of the U.S. Marine Corps; Tetsuya Yamagami, who assassinated Abe, was a junior officer in the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force.
5, and the biggest similarity - the Kennedy assassination and Abe's shooting are very "suspicious".
In the Kennedy assassination case, the gunman Oswald's motive for the murder is unknown, and the United States eventually gave the claim that the assassination of Kennedy was a personal act of the gunman, and then there was no follow-up.
On the third day after Kennedy's assassination, Oswald was taken to prison when he was suddenly shot and killed by a hotel owner named Jack Ruby. A few years after that, Ruby died of cancer.
And, in the three years since Kennedy's assassination, 18 key witnesses have been killed; In the 30 years since the assassination, 115 witnesses have committed suicide or been murdered, and the entire case has been cast in a thick fog.
Today, in Japan, which claims to be one of the world's most restrictive countries for gun control, Abe's death is equally suspicious.
At least 10 doubts can not be ignored.
Suspicious point 1, the direct cause of Abe's death is unusual.
It is reported that Abe died because of the cardiovascular rupture caused by the shooting, heavy bleeding in many parts, and "completely unable to stop the bleeding".
In addition, Abe had a total of two gunshot wounds on his body - left shoulder and left chest, the front of the neck, and was a "round gunshot wound".
In other words, although the gunner Takayama tetsuya only fired 2 shots at that time, he fired more than 2 bullets, otherwise he would not have "bleeding in multiple parts", and it was likely that he was hit by a weapon similar to a shotgun.
After all, the shotgun attack is not a point, but a face, and as soon as the shot is fired, more than a dozen or dozens of steel balls will be fired, which is consistent with Abe's death.
Moreover, at the scene of the shooting, no shell casings or bullets were found, and it is not known whether the situation was panicked, accidentally lost, or there was none at all. At present, the Japanese police have not responded to this.
Suspicious point 2, where did the "gun" that stabbed Abe come from?
According to the live video, this "gun" has 2 barrels, it seems that there is no stock, and the appearance is also wrapped with a lot of black tape.
In short, if the gun is not fired, it is estimated that few people suspect that it will be a gun, such a "camouflage" is not only convenient for the gunman to carry, but also can launch an attack unexpectedly.
And, judging from the final result, this "not like a gun" gun, the lethality is amazing.
And although Toru Yamagami also has a military background and can make his own guns, where do the parts and materials come from? Don't forget, as mentioned earlier, Japan is one of the countries with the strictest gun control in the world.
According to the results of the preliminary interrogation by the Japanese police, Toru Yamagami also confessed that he first investigated how to make his own pistol, and then "bought parts, gunpowder and shell casings from the Internet."
Afterwards, the Japanese police also found many suspected explosives and homemade pistols in Tetsuya Yamayama's home.
It has to be said that in Japan, where the control of prohibited substances is so strict, Yamagami Toru can also get so many dangerous goods, which is obviously very unusual.
Suspicious point 3, The mountain Tetsuya, whose home is full of contraband, has been "unemployed for a long time", where does he get the funds, where is the channel, to buy these "difficult to get" contraband?
Suspicious point 4, Yamagami Tetsuya did not flee after committing the crime, but stayed in the same place, just like "waiting to be subdued by security personnel", behind this, either the gunman himself was shocked and overwhelmed, or the gunman "regarded death as a homecoming, and had no intention of leaving unharmed".
Doubt 5, what was Tetsuya Yamagami's motive for committing the crime?
According to Tetsuya Yamagami's high school classmates, he had a "mild personality and no violent tendencies," and he was an honest member of the cheerleading team for three years in high school.
According to Japanese police interrogations, Toru Yamagami also said that he assassinated Abe because Abe was related to an "organization" that he held a grudge against, and he did not say what it was.
At present, because toru Yamagami has often been "gibberish and delirious" after his arrest, the Japanese police are investigating whether he suffers from mental illness and whether he has the capacity for criminal responsibility.
Doubt 6, Abe was assassinated, why did the secret service security not play a role?
According to the live video, after Toru Yamagami fired the first shot, Abe "looked fine", and turned his head to look at the rear, and then the second shot rang out, Abe fell to the ground in response, and in this critical few seconds, the security personnel did not take action.
Moreover, on the same day, Abe praised by Abe as "only 0.2 seconds to shoot" female bodyguard Ishida Momi was at the scene, but it was not until Abe fell to the ground that she was "late". If Ishida had been able to kill Tetsuya Yamayama at the speed of "0.2 seconds shot", Abe might not have died.
Therefore, Abe was shot and killed, and his security team did have to give an explanation and explanation.
Doubt 7, Abe could have avoided this catastrophe.
According to the original plan, Abe had planned to go to Nagano City on the 8th to solicit votes for the 51-year-old Matsuyama Sanshiro, a newcomer to the Liberal Democratic Party. But coincidentally, Matsuyama was exposed to the "extramarital affair" scandal two days ago, and Abe temporarily decided on the evening of the 7th to change the route to Nara City.
Therefore, yamagami tetsuki also learned that Abe was coming to Nara City to make a specific plan to assassinate, only one night, which obviously does not make sense.
In addition, if Abe died, it was related to the change of itinerary the day before; Then the key to causing him to change his itinerary is the scandal that Matsuyama Sansi was exposed.
Perhaps, without this scandal, Abe would not have gone to Nara City and would not have been killed by Toruya Yamagami, a Nara city resident.
So the question is, who exposed the Matsuyama 34 scandal?
Suspicious point 8: A few days before Abe's assassination, he also called former Japanese Deputy Prime Minister Taro Aso, saying that he was in good health and promising to "firmly support the Kishida regime."
Note that Abe is now the leader of the Hosoda faction, and Kishida is the leader of the Kishida faction, and the two actually have a "competitive relationship."
Therefore, on the eve of his assassination, Abe took the initiative to call Taro Aso and made it clear that he would firmly support Kishida, which meant it.
Japan Prime Minister Fumio Kishida and Abe
Suspicious point 9, on the day of Abe's assassination, Kishida had planned to give a speech in Yamanashi Prefecture to help his factional parliamentarians vote, but after Abe's assassination, Kishida urgently canceled the speech and returned to Tokyo.
But the next day, Kishida resumed his plans and went to Yamanashi Prefecture to give a speech, saying that he would not postpone the house election because of Abe's death.
I have to say that less than 24 hours after Abe was "beheaded" in the street, Kishida ran outside to give a speech, which is really puzzling, is it really not worried about safety?
Suspicious point 10, behind the assassination of Abe, may be related to political factors or The current situation of Japanese society and economic conditions, but US President Biden has taken a step forward to blame this on the "gun violence problem", behind Biden's move, is he trying to take advantage of Abe's death to express his position on the violence of shooting in the United States, or is there another plan and want to cover up?
Fumio Kishida and Biden
In short, this world-renowned shooting case is indeed shocking, and there are many doubts, and what kind of hidden feelings are hidden behind it, which can only wait for the Japanese government to give an answer.
Finally, the dead are gone, and the living are like this. While expressing his condolences to Abe, he also hopes that his family will have the strength to continue to move forward.
