How Abe Shinzo's Alleged Church Ties Marred His Legacy & Japan Politics | Insight | Full Episode
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2022
- In July, Japan’s former Prime Minister, Abe Shinzo, was assassinated. In the aftermath, a scandal emerged involving the Unification Church and the ruling party. Protests rage over Abe’s state funeral, as the Japanese question his legacy.
With the Unification Church now in the spotlight, former members speak out on the practices of this controversial organization, considered by some to be a cult.
As the cozy relationship between the Church and the ruling LDP come under a microscope, more people are starting to question the separation between Church and State in Japan, enshrined in Article 20 of the Japanese constitution.
The fallout from the scandal has implicated the current administration, as Prime Minister Kishida Fumio’s cabinet sees its lowest approval rating yet, in the days leading up to Abe’s state funeral. As he purges his cabinet of those with close links to the Unification Church, can Kishida emerge from Abe’s shadow?

This was really a great insight especially regarding the Unification church, though I'm surprised there's no mention of the many scandals re-surging after Abe's assassination that explain why so many people in Japan were against an official ceremony such as the rape scandal he helped covered, his praise for his grandfather's legacy (who was a A-class war criminal, let's not forget) or the numerous corruption stories surrounding the Olympics.
I think this issue shows an underlying issue, in that the state and religion are not separate, and can be easily compromised in Japan.
You also forgot the moritomo gakuen scandal, which got both him and his successor to resign.
the shooter wanted to bring attention to their suffering the fastest way possible instead of putting in the work protesting and gaining public support! The guy doing the actual stealing the head of the church is the avatar, he gets to skip off in the sunset while you get blind sided. I needed money to run for my election and was given money by the church only to be blind sided and shot by some kid the church stole from... out of the dam blue. As you are shot and dying your thinking what you did wrong! I would request the spirits to come back and haunt this man. THEN THE FACT THE MOTHER GAVE THE CHURCH THE MONEY! the total she gave the church was 1.4 million yen. The kid felt that they took advantage of her and that was money he was to inherit...so he got pissed because now she need care and has no money. I would not shot this man but be actively after the church. The church gave 700k back but not the rest.
Nice work CNA. It is very awesome that the foreign media has just touched the tip of the iceberg of Japan's darkness.
You should stay quiet if you dont know
@@vinny4149 You really should stay quiet if you are not born and bred japanese
😅
LDP corruption is at a new level.
right!!!!!
Public opinion in Japan is changing . "Shinzo Abe should have been gone" to "It was too late."
Again...CNA Insider, you did not disappoint with another amazing coverage. You have touched on his legacy and how it effected the Japanese people after this tragic loss. I'm sure your insight on this topic has given us more knowledge into the whole narrative into his death. It's truly sad, in this day and age, any church (cult) that is tormenting and brainwashing their members in believing all those lies is mind boggling. You have my standing ovation and applauds...well done, Team CNA!
A leader must serve to protect the people. His assassin’s family was a true victim.
That's true. This incident indicates that the LDP including PM Abe prioritized protecting the cult group of foreign origin over protecting his own people.

To add insult to injury this cult`s scripture once labeled Japan as a intefior nation and Japanese as a species of Harlot.
The UC once said Korea is Adam nation and Japan is Eve Nation from the Bible, and Eve Nation is where moral degradation thrives and Japanese are prostitutes.
This will be like Israel protecting a Nazi Cult.
Very nice documentary. As a historian of contemporary Japan myself, I do have my issues though how Ms. Koshino introduced Abe in the beginning. Shinzo Abe himself was very much behind introducing and advocating the term "postwar regime" in the 1990s, and any "overcoming" of such regime (whatever that is) to become a "global power" (?) again begs for further explanation to the viewers. Because, as one could argue, "overcoming" a "post war regime" could also very much signify overcoming a pluralistic and free society and changing Japan into a more nationalistic and militarist country.
This is a cult.
Today brutal aggressive business like MLM, Pyramid scheme or any multiple levels marking directly inspired by those so called religious strategy. Hard to believe that thousand of years ago these strategies already existed in religion but today those strategies are thriving in business as innovation model.
As results those leaders are taken down seems reasonable.
Captivating ! …thanks ❤.
this explains why there was rumors of cult ties with ex PM Shinzo Abe going around after the assassination 🤔.... didnt bother researching for it then, this video is insightful. tyvm
Singapore government ban three religous groups. The Jehovah's Witnesses, Unification Church and Christian Conference of Asia are outlawed in Singapore because they threaten public order and, therefore, are not protected by the constitution, a representative of the Home Affairs Ministry said in parliament Thursday. Singapore's constitution states that 'every person has the right to profess and practice his religion and propagate it,' but says religious freedom does not extend to violations of 'any general law relating to public order, public health or morality.'
i so wish this rule apply to my country 😓
Did Singapore also band China propaganda institutions such as Confucius Institute, Thousands Talents and United Front?
In coming years from now all religions will be banned from Asia countries except ancestors worship.
Luckily Islam has never hurt anyone
It must be an appropriate action. In Japan, the Unification Church (UC) has deep relationship with the ruling party (LDP including PM Abe), so even police and public security agencies don’t regulate this cult group although most Japanese believe that the government should do it.
I’m no longer upset by Abe’s death.
Murder is still wrong and upsetting.
@@antman7673 that is true, but his death brought attention to an issue that outside of Japan, very few know about. The assassin was very smart in choosing Mr. Abe
@@baojhoang7242
You actually believe staged killing is real?
I believe that many Japanese agree with you too.
Wow. I had no idea, but it makes a lot of sense . There is surely more to find out.
This really blowed my mind.
The fact that a Korean religious corporation was manipulating the Japanese government behind the scenes was shocking.
it's like the ultimate form of revenge in some ways
To me, Tetsuya Yamagami is a hero. Many thanks to him for what he did
They also tried planting their roots here in SEA. I'm very grateful my parents pulled me out of their influence. Luckily some of my friends from there got out too a few years after. They have some very questionable teachings and when asked they justify it with blind faith and whatnot.
I would say that religion is the worst the West can offer to the world
@kevjun252 are you from manila? 😢
I was there when Mr Abe was assassinated. It was the first gun shot I've ever heard. I lived in the states for a couple of years but even then, I had never been so close to a bullet in my life.
It shocked me. A country with close to zero guns, now all the sudden an assassination with a DIY shotgun? I supported Abe my whole life as he was the only prime minister id ever known. Now, I don't even know what to believe. I love my country but I have no hopes for it.
I would like to know how you guys felt about all this so if you can comment smth id appreciate it.
I think it was Guinness World Records which portrayed the Moonies in a positive light in the late 90s
"Work Harder, Harder, HARD!!"
So i am european and i habe never heared about this church before... Can anyone catch me up on what is going on with them?
It is not the same as your usual Christianity church in Europe.

@@chingsiangteoh8061 it's the Moonies, isn't it? I had no idea those birds are still around
It's a religious cult
@@aoibhealfae 😮 I have no idea !!!🫣😲😮😧
@@chingsiangteoh8061 The churches might be different but equally corrupted and evil. So many children have been abused and destroyed by priests.
What I would very much like to know is why did I happen to have to apply about two layers of filters to find videos on this that spoke about the facts [this video wasn't even on the top 5]
It's incredibly weird that people are willing to follow such a ridiculous cult leader. A human should never revere another human.
Like no.104 👍😀
what?????
wang jingwei ruled nanjing puyi ruled manchukuo japanese puppets also ruled mongolia. and several other places in china mengjiang.
Where is this guy’s mother now?
She died of cancer.
not a very democratic habit when the same party is in power for 70+ years. this religious mix thrown into the mix just shows we know too little about their way of being.
You can say the same about the US. No woman has ever been the President.
There's nothing wrong with voters voting for their ideal party 70+ years in a row, its still every bit democratic. Corruption, rigging, scandals all possibly exists, yes. But it is still as democratic as a country that changes the party in power every year.
@@nanifa6082 The situation of Japan where only LDP has ruling power over 70 years (except for 3 years or so) is more similar to China or Russia than US or UK. Russia has also the election system as well as Japan.
@@kensaku8780 indeed, I hope to see some change to that due to this scandal, honestly. Japan is still a democratic society, and we can only ASSUME the elections are not rigged.
@@nanifa6082Sorry, that is not democratic. Japan needs to purge itself of American rightwing influence.

World leaders did not come much to the funeral.
Imagine coming to the funeral of a cultist
They operates as same as China United Front, Confucius Institute and Thousands Talents in recruiting people through teaching Mandarin (Chinese language), recruiting and bribing prominent, high talented scientist e.g. Dr. Charles Lieber etc..

So his killer was right?
Beware! There is an alliance nicknamed 'The Kumars'...
- Ahmet Tekin
- Arabic Reja
- Beijing Genocide Olympic - 2022
- Chop in Suey
- Huo yeh
- Last Chang
- Pub Comrad
- Tao Wang
- Yang Zhao
- et al.
... which consist of not only these bots, but also includes a list of other trolls and shills. A shill is one that takes on the opposite side and acts seemingly like a friend. The modus operandi of the alliance is to lay blame, spite and spread hateful rhetorics at their appointed targets. For those unaware and naive, it is an entrapment being inside such bot's thread.
Note: 'Bot' here refers to a computer script, and not the name-calling or insult as often employed by some of the dolts.
Didn’t know Japanese have churches, only temples.
Dont forget the war crime apologist loving Abe as well
So tragic, shocking and heartbreaking, good protection and capable security could have prevented this assasinnation to success. Japan is indeed a very safe Country that i am still visiting often, but Low crimes does not mean No crimes.
Why did the man kill Abe?
God created Universe for Adam & Eve for eternal joy.
Please translate it into Japanese.

Most of all understand that when Sun Myung Moon was born in 1920, Imperial Japan ruled Korea so he was indoctrinated from birth for decades (until 1945) in extreme Japanese culture as much as Korean. Then S. Korea and Japan got linked up yet again due to their alliance with the USA during the Cold war (1945-1992). The Korea and Japan relationship is a long close harrowing epic saga. With some moments of wonder and beauty too.
Did you know that the logo the Unification Church used for many decades, what they call the twelve gates symbol, was basically a Japanese RISING SUN fascist war flag logo? Did you know that Moon would yell at his mass weddings "Now go smash Satan!" I.e. communists and him and his thousands of followers would burst into Banzai war cries? 95% of the funding of the entire Unification Church worldwide for decades was from his many Japanese followers, who were attracted to his anti communist obsession and his presentation as a modern day Emperor. Ironically the toxic extremist scary menacing tendencies of the Unification Church are mostly due to Moon's rabid anti communist stance / Japanese fascist tendencies. Moon who suffered during the Korean war and was personally tortured by communists. Sun Myung Moon that was born and raised NOT in modern South Korea or modern Japan but in in 1920s IMPERIAL JAPAN. He was fluent in Japanese language. Just like how many citizens of Singapore can speak English and understand British business and legal concepts due to the legacy of the British empire even though they are not biologically of British racial ethnic ancestry. Ironically the Japanese in this news piece critical of the Unification Church are doing a critique of their own ancestors! I think there is a LONG credible case for a critique of the Unification Church. But understand that if you remove rabid militant Japanese fascist culture from the Unification Church it basically is what they now claim to be, a 'family federation for world peace'. Again to recap my point the toxic abrasive extremist tendencies of the Unification Church all flow from the same place which is 20th century fascism, JAPANESE fascism. Is JAPAN a criminal cult? Ask the TENS OF MILLIONS of Koreans, Chinese, Russians, Vietnamese, Malaysians, Filipino men, women, and children invaded, robbed, and raped, literally to death by the Imperial JAPANESE army between the years 1937-1945 what they think.
A family of war crimes. Now he face punishments from Hell
They should protect abe that time 😢
Not even Jesus wanted to protect Abe.

Prime minister Abe I won't forget him his same my bday 😊sep21😊
Since after WW2 , post-war japanese leaders had abandoned Emperorlism, and embraced Democracy Freedom and Human Right in the country. Long live Japan Democracy, Long live Japan Freedom,Long live Japan Human Right 👍.RIP ABE.
U watched the video? This shows a lot of cracks in Japan Democracy, with a huge dose of cult activity and corruption.
There is not democracy when most of the public did not want to fund his state funeral, and it happened anyway.
I stopped halfway.
A mediocre, biased, deceiving short film.
No wonder he was killed, I'll wait for a real documentary regarding the church and abE.

Does the Church actually have pull in Japanese Politics? I don't think so.
The Govt of Japan functions as plutocratic authority. It's sole allegience is to the Monarch. Not to it's people.
No need to extrapolate the late PM's alleged ties to the Church with Japan's governance structure and systems.
In Japan actually there are many testimonies that a lot of politicians of the ruling party (LDP) have been supported by this cult group, as a return the politicians protect the Unification Church from regulation and additionally UC has influenced various policies of Japan such as anti-LGBT program. Many experts testify about this and it is a fact.
