At 1 p.m. local time on July 12, it was the funeral of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
According to the plan, after the funeral, Abe's body will be transported to the place of worship, and the hearse will pass by the prime minister's official residence, the National Assembly Hall, the LDP headquarters and other places to make a final farewell.
After the funeral, the body will be cremated and subsequently buried in the Abe family cemetery in Yamaguchi Prefecture' hometown.
Before I knew it, several days had passed since 11:32 a.m. on July 8.
On that day, 41-year-old Yamatoshi was also in front of Yamato-Nishidaiji Station in Nara City, shooting and killing former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who was giving a speech on the street.
The farewell ceremony four days later seemed to put an end to the incident.
However, the follow-up news and related forces fermented around this matter are far from over.
After the Japanese media first excavated and reported the background of the growth of Yamagami Tomoya,
From a happy elementary school year, to attend Nara Prefectural Koriyama High School, to drop out of school after being admitted to Doshisha University (Faculty of Engineering).
Fate took a sharp turn – he joined the Maritime Self-Defense Force (left after his 3-year term expired), dispatched forklift drivers, was unemployed, made his own guns, shot Abe...
By the way, regarding the making of guns, Yamagami also said: "I wanted to make bombs, but... I don't want to involve ordinary people who don't matter..."
Then again, in Yamagami's confession, people noticed that the moment Yamagami's mother joined the religious group, it may have been a point of divergence in the fate of the mountain...
Yamasami also said his mother had made a "huge donation" to a religious organization that he resented and believed was related to Abe.
He initially planned to attack only one of the group's executives, but eventually decided to target Abe.
What kind of existence is that religious group?
At a press conference at 1 p.m. on July 11, Tomohiro Tanaka, president of the Japanese branch of the United Religion of Korea, acknowledged that the religious group from South Korea was linked to the assassination of former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe.
At the press conference, Tomohiro Tanaka, president of the Japanese branch of the "Korean Unification Religion", first observed a moment of silence for Abe, who was assassinated on the 8th, and then began to talk about the association between the religious group and the assassination of Abe.
He acknowledged that the mother of the suspect in Abe's assassination, Tetsuya Yamagami, was a member of the Unification Church and had joined the society in 1998 but had gone bankrupt around 2002.
Tanaka tomohiro said that at that time, the church did not know the bankruptcy of the Yamagami family, and now they do not have any record of whether the Yamayama family was asked to provide higher donations after that.
He also said that Toruya Yamagami's mother had disappeared from 2009 to 2017, and then had only reconnected with the church in the last two or three years, and had participated in church meetings every month for the past six months.
But Tanaka tomohiro did not disclose the amount of money that Tetsuya Yamagami's mother donated to the church, saying the matter was still under police investigation.
He also stressed that the people in his church are very good, and said that the press conference was held because there were many rumors involving the church on the Internet after the assassination of Abe, and some people found the church and believers, so they held a press conference to "protect believers".
He said that Toru Yamagami himself was not a member of the church. As for the media saying that he had test-fired guns at church, he said there was no record of that.
In addition, Tanaka tomohiro also denied that Abe or the Liberal Democratic Party had direct dealings and connections with the "Unification Church", such as funds, and that Abe was not a member or adviser to the religion.
He mentioned that Abe was communicating with a church-friendly group called the World Peace Association (UPF), and that the NGO should be asked for specific information. He also called the development of unification in Japan "unlikely" to be influenced and helped by Abe's maternal grandfather, Kishi Nobusuke.
However, public information shows that the "World Peace Association" was also founded by Wen Mingming, the founder of the United Religion, and his wife Han Hezi, and in recent years has mainly undertaken the work of holding "charity" activities for the "Unification Religion" on international occasions and attracting international politicians.
Steven Hassan, an American cult expert who has been studying the issue of "unification religion" for many years, said that the organization is the vest of "unification religion."
According to wikipedia, the origin of unification religion is like this.
Wen Mingming (February 25, 1920 – September 3, 2012), whose real name was Wen Longming, was born in a Buddhist family, and his family converted to Christianity at the age of 10, and said that on the eve of Easter at the age of 16, he prayed all night at the Otter Mountain behind the village, and was inspired by the so-called "Jesus" to save all mankind.
After changing his name to "Clear", he founded the Unification Church, and after successful missionary work in Korea in 1954, he moved to Japan in 1968 and then to the United States after 1972.
Regarding this religion, the Japanese media interviewed a former believer, who said:
When I first joined, I was really happy to hear such teachings, but slowly I found that how to make you "pay money" and "donate and donate", in fact, looking back on that time, the family was a mess, but the church told me that this was the only way. However, there are still people who oppose this statement.
emmm...... So is it really a wealth cult? Incidentally, in 1997, the Korean Unification Church was recognized as a cult by the mainland.
How do you feel about many cults in South Korea, and there are also cult shadows behind some previous news events.
Recent examples include the "Shincheonji Church", which caused the epidemic in South Korea to be seriously out of control in 2020.
Earlier examples include the shipwreck of the Sewol in South Korea in April 2014.
The shipwreck took the lives of more than three hundred students. The cause of the students' deaths was not due to the serious damage to the hull that prevented timely rescue, but rather the result of an eleven-hour slow process.
Related reports said that the result of the incident was due to the sacrifice activities of the Korean cult "Immortalism".
……
Thinking of this unification religion, it is a bit numb, the cult turned out to be a Korean specialty.
