That’s some top level conspiracy theory.
First, Who shoots someone just because of “connections”? Why not go after the church itself?
Further; this person got two shots off over a 4-5 second period. Just walked up to one of the most powerful politicians in Japan. I personally feel there’s something more to this — gross negligence or a conspiracy idk.
The communist opposition was actively calling for his overthrow by any means and calling him hitler (reminds me of the USA frankly). China has been celebrating his death.
Even if we assume this person believed this (highly speculative), then it was likely amplified by Chinese propaganda. China, USA, Russia, etc is known to support opposition parties and amplify conspiracy theories to support their aims.
- Apocryphon 4y ago> Why not go after the church itself? Allegedly, the shooter's original target was an official of the church. > I personally feel there’s something more to this — gross negligence or a conspiracy idk. This is an official who has been out of power for a while now, and is known to be in declining health, at a local event, in a country where political violence has been low in recent years, and a country with exceptionally low crime rates. You could totally imagine security being lax and complacent given the circumstances.
