A presentiment is a feeling of foreboding about the future. This Blogger has a presentiment about Taiwan, because of the assassination of Shinzo Abe of Japan.
Shinzo Abe was a dedicated friend of the United States, a devoted ally of Taiwan and a shrewd opponent of Communist China. He was a towering figure in modern Japanese politics; he was a combination of JFK and Ronald Reagan. He was the youngest Japanese Prime Minister in history; and then after leaving office because of illness, came back to become the longest serving Japanese Prime Minister in History.
At his death, he was the éminence grise of Japanese politics and governance; the man, THE MAN, who exercises power behind the scenes, without holding an official position. He was a titan.
He was Taiwan’s most loyal ally in Japan; if Communist China does intend to invade, Taiwan, part of their pre-invasion planning would, by necessity, be knowing that Mr. Abe would have been the galvanizing force to come to Taiwan’s aid, inspiring and empowering the United States to follow suit.
Now, Mr. Abe cannot lead the push back against Communist Chinese aggression against Taiwan, because he is dead. How convenient for Communist China.
It is
the most convenient geopolitical assassination since 2001, when two days before
9/11, an Al-Qaeda suicide squad
posing as journalists sat down for an interview with Ahmad Shah Massoud, the
last major anti-Taliban commander in
Afghanistan, and did them a favor by removing the Lion of the North, by assassination.
Japan has a population of 125
million; and the strictest gun laws on Earth ( it is an expensive 12 step
process to obtain clearance to own a firearm). In 2021, ONE PERSON was killed
in gun related violence( excluding suicide).
Yet Mr. Abe was assassinated by
use of a gun. How convenient.
It was a homemade gun; that
worked. It did not misfire or jam; a homemade gun which did not misfire or jam
in killing the most influential supporter of Taiwan in Japan, How convenient.
Readers, please forgive this Blogger for reeking of conspiracy, but he grew up in Mafia dominated Brooklyn, so, by Blood Memory, he recalled MICHEAL CORELEONE’S sage words in GODFATHER II :” if anything in this life is certain, if history has taught us anything, it’s that you can kill anyone.”
But who relies on a homemade gun to alter history? For even if that specific gun worked at trial, that does not insure it will work again. It is homemade. To trust a homemade gun to alter history, one must be an exceptionally skilled craftsman, from the fiction of DAY OF THE JACKAL; or that homemade gun is not a homemade gun, but a reliable facsimile of a homemade gun; which has been smuggled into Japan by Communist Chinese operatives, to a sleeper agent.
The confessed assassin, Tetsuya Yamagami, is 41 years old. As Mr. Abe was giving a speech in support of a local candidate for his party, the assassin walked up behind him and killed him. The assassin did not run away.
The assassin, a veteran of Japan’s navy, who had traveled to foreign ports, said he had a grudge against Mr. Abe, but it was not a political grudge; the assassin assured Japan, this was not a political assassination eliminating a friend of Taiwan.
“Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian said his country was shocked by the attack.
He added that "this unexpected incident should not be associated with Sino-Japanese relations" and had no comment when asked about Chinese social media reaction.
Comments gloating over the attack on Mr Abe have dominated Chinese social media…BBC.”
This Blogger’s presentiment is this; just as the Massoud assassination was a precondition for the 9/11 assault; he thinks the Abe assassination is a precondition for Communist China attacking Taiwan; for without Abe, Japan will now be paralyzed in its response.
Shinzo Abe, as he laid dying.
