Shinzo Abe Killer’s Trial Is Exposing the Christian Cult Entrenched in Japanese Politics
Tetsuya Yamagami is now on trial for the assassination of Shinzo Abe, citing Abe's ties to the Moonies as his motivation.
Journalist and author Elle Hardy, who wrote "Beyond Belief: How Pentecostal Christianity Is Taking Over the World," notes the significant attention surrounding Yamagami.
Yamagami's trial, which began on Tuesday, has brought attention to Japan's political system, with many seeing it as the real defendant.
When Yamagami killed Shinzo Abe in July 2022, it seemed incomprehensible, as modern Japan does not have a gun culture or a history of assassination.
He has a stan culture to rival K-pop idols, a fund bankrolled by sympathizers, and has been labeled one of the “most successful assassins” in history.
Author summary: Trial exposes Christian cult in Japanese politics.
