[The Abe case led to a "cult" organization, Trump once stood for it, and the founder had a lot of contact with it]
Abe's death shocked the world, the case has become more bizarre, and now it involves a connection with South Korean religion, and former US President Trump has personally stood for the organization, and the founder has a lot of contact with it.
According to Japan's Kyodo News Agency, citing investigators in the Abe case, Toru Yamagami, who was suspected of killing Abe, told the police that his mother had become poor because she had donated "huge sums" to an overseas religious group, and that he felt that Abe had a close relationship with the religious organization, so he sent his anger to Abe.
But according to Toruya Yamagami's latest confession, he also pointed the finger at Abe's maternal grandfather, Nobusuke Kishi, the 56th and 57th prime ministers of Japan. It is said that the founder of this religious organization, Fumiaki, was recruited to Japan by Kishi Nobusuke, and the religion was widely preached in Japan.
It is reported that from time to time on the Japanese Internet, there will be content on the Japanese Internet where Abe and others have an abnormal relationship with the church, but no party has ever come up with substantial evidence on the authenticity of this matter. Therefore, Japan's Kyodo News Agency quoted the police as saying that Toru Yamagami also listened to false information on the Internet and transferred his hatred from Kishi Nobusuke to Shinzo Abe.
After the news of South Korean religion came out, the outside world has been talking about it, and the French media BFMTV named the religious organization "Unification Church" the day after Abe was shot, but it was not determined by the Japanese official media. It was not until Fuhiro Tanaka, president of the "Unification Church" in Japan, held a press conference on the third day that he personally admitted that Tetsuya Yamagami's mother was indeed a member of the religion.
Although Tanaka Tomohiro revealed some information about Tetsuya Yamagami's mother at the press conference, such as her joining the association in 1998, and she was in a state of disappearance from 2009 to 2017, and only began to have contact with religion in recent years, and would come to church activities every month for nearly half a year, he refused to comment on the "huge donation" that the outside world was curious about, citing the fact that the police were investigating.
However, he stressed that the church was not aware of the difficulties and bankruptcy of Toruya Yamagami's family, and said that he had not received any records before the press conference that the church asked believers to provide more donations. And Toru Yamagami is not a member of the church, and there is no media claim that Toru Yamagami has test-fired a gun in the church.
But it is worth mentioning that the reason why Toru Yamagami also firmly believes that the discussion on the Internet about Abe Ande's "unification religion" is "true" is because he saw a video of Abe Shinzo's message for the "Unification Church" friendship group, the World Peace Association, in September last year. At the press conference, Tanaka acknowledged the veracity of the incident, adding that Mr. Abe expressed "appreciation" for the so-called "world peace movement." But he said Mr. Abe was indeed not a "registered member" and had never been a "consultant" circulating online. The implication is that Toru Yamagami also misunderstood Abe's relationship with the "Unification Church."
But even though neither Kishi Norsuke nor Abe's relationship with the Unification Church can be answered at present, the church's close dealings with Japanese politicians are true. South Korea's "National Daily" even pointed out that Kishi Nobusuke had lent the Unification Church and the financial and public opinion support of the "anti-communist" forces under his leadership to help him promote the formulation of a series of regulations such as counter-espionage. That is to say, at least the connection between the "Unification Church" and the Japanese right is certain.
Founded in 1954 by The Korean pastor Moon Ming, the Unification Church immediately extended to foreign countries after its success in Korea, and there were members of the church in Japan and the United States. It is said that the number of registered members has exceeded 5 million worldwide. It is best known for its "mass wedding", which was once boycotted by the South Korean people during the epidemic. What's even more surprising is that you have to pay hundreds or even thousands of dollars to attend a group wedding. Therefore, the church is extremely rich and has a huge investment industry. On the contrary, it is also regarded by many countries as a group suspected of "fraud" and "brainwashing", so China listed it as a "cult" in 1997.
In addition, former US President Trump has also been exposed to have close ties with the church. While U.S. politicians mourned the 9/11 incident last year, Trump joined Abe in speaking out for the religion's friendly groups. Then it was revealed that as early as 1990, Trump had considered selling one of his estates to Wen Mingming. And in the United States Republican Party, not only Trump is associated with it, but heavyweights such as Pence and Liz Cheney have all stood for events hosted by the church.
Although many US media have debunked rumors, public opinion has not dissipated. Therefore, if you want to know what will happen next, you can only wait for the Japanese police to investigate.
