The very popular Shinzo Abe, a longtime friend of President Trump, stepped down as Prime Minister of Japan in 2020, but has been campaigning for various politicians as he remains active in politics. An assassin shot him moments ago:
TOKYO — Former Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe was shot and gravely injured while campaigning Friday in south-central Japan, according to public broadcaster NHK.
Abe, Japan’s longest-serving prime minister, was giving a speech in the city of Nara when he was shot around 11:30 a.m. (10:30 p.m. Thursday ET). NHK, citing the local fire department, reported that Abe was in a state of “cardiopulmonary arrest.” It said the suspected shooter appeared to have been apprehended.
Elections for the upper house of the Japanese Parliament are Sunday. Abe, 67, who stepped down in 2020, was campaigning for other members of the governing Liberal Democratic Party but is not a candidate himself. (LINK)
UPDATE: Shinzo Abe was shot from behind by a 40-year-old assassin using a shotgun. Shooter fired two shots. Shinzo Abe fell after the second shot. UPDATE 2: NO VITAL SIGNS
Pictures below of Abe and the shooter. Warning. Disturbing.
JAPAN – Former Japanese Prime Minister Abe Shinzo has been shot on the street in the western prefecture of Nara. Police arrested a man at the scene.
Abe was making a speech for an election campaign in Nara City. He collapsed at around 11: 30 a.m., after people on the scene heard what sounded like a gun going off twice.
Abe was taken to a hospital. The fire department says he is showing no vital signs.
Police arrested 41-year-old Yamagami Tetsuya in Nara City for allegedly attempting murder. They say they seized a gun at the site which the suspect was apparently holding.
Abe was transferred by medevac to Nara Medical University Hospital in Kashihara City in the prefecture. Police say Abe appears to have been shot from behind.
An NHK reporter who was at the scene says Abe was bleeding.
The site is near Yamatosaidaiji Station in Nara City. Abe was campaigning for a Liberal Democratic Party candidate before the Upper House election scheduled on Sunday. (more)

President Trump and Shinzo Abe were close personal friends long before Donald Trump entered politics.
OMG. I pray for him.
War stinks. Prayers sent up.
He would have stood against any further aggression in the Pacific from China.
God, please heal and raise him out of his injury, guide his surgeons hands, put your healing hands upon him.
Amen.

france ? germany?
What a tragedy! Prayers for him and his family.
Dear Lord, protect and fortify this good man. Amen.
How come the good guys always go down? And yet devils like Klaus Schwantz, soros….continue to continue?
Only the good die young.
Must be that the evil are more inspired to kill the good rather than the bad? Something about good people drives evil people over the edge. We need look no further than the left’s treatment of President Trump and his friends and family.
The Holy Bible has this topic covered front to back.
Because they’re taking the good guys down.
That’s how it appears to me as well.
War! We have been in a war since 2008. When the Kenyan was selected.
I think we have been at war since 1861
Yes, for sure. They don’t want anyone to stand in the way of their political plans. I worry about President Trump because they see him as a threat.
Right know we are dealing with an evil spirit similar to what I imagine the devil might have as his version of our Holy Spirit. I believe it is one reason for the rudeness and sense of hate in our world.
Lord I pray Abe knows and follows You!
U.S. President Reagan also received a bullet near the heart but recovered and later brought about the collapse of the Soviet Union.
I wish former Prime Minister Abe a speedy recovery.
He speaks of him in the past tense.
Yes. He knows.
Abe was shot in the back but his shirt front showed lots and lots of blood. Exit wounds are a real bitch and this was a homemade shot gun.
I think and hope the part of that message that is in the past tense refers to when they were both in office.
So sad! Prayers.
This man’s ” crime” as far as the cabal was concerned was that Mr. Abe was a true leader to his people and not a puppet. May he rest in peace.🙏
We haven’t lost him yet, Doll, keep praying!
🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏
He and P. Trump were on the same path. The strong Nation-State.
God bless Mr. Abe and his family.
A short gun really where was security? They will say there was a break down. More like their is a conspiracy a plot a plan. Not a hand gun but a Short gun!! We pray he comes through.
Full agreement. Japan is a truly first world nation with first class standards, which includes security. A slip-up, my ass.
I’ve posted my sentiments and sincere hopes for Abe earlier but I noticed that Japan’s election is this Sunday, “when 545 candidates from 15 parties (including the candidate that PM Abe was supporting when he was shot) compete for 124 seats, or half of the 248-seat upper house.”
Abe’s and the present PM Kishida’s Liberal Democrat party (Conservative) is expected to win against the weaker opposition parties but the Japanese people are suffering inflation and other problems like most countries.
The CDP is Japan’s largest opposition party. Its campaign pledges to “temporarily cut the sales tax by half to 5% and offering 10,000 yen ($73) a month as a subsidy to house renters. It also advocates investing 200 trillion yen in renewable energy and energy conservation by 2030 and cutting greenhouse gas emissions by 55% or more from 2013 levels. That is more ambitious than the government’s target of reducing the emissions by 46% by 2030.” Reuters.
Is the crazed shooter a climate monger? Just wondering.
Abe defended Taiwan and said US should stand up to a chinese invasion of Taiwan. China barked back
Can a world war be far behind? It seems the pieces on the board are starting to align.
we need to get someone other than Kissinger, Kerry, Albright and Satan Clinton talking for us. Their end goal was always arms sales not diplomacy. They work for the NATO banksters
Ouija Board diplomacy…They all have their hands on the direction of the pointer, but no one can be fingered because the pointer goes where it wants to go even though the collective is controlling it…It’s all very convenient.
I think Taiwan is where the democratic leader of China Went when CCP infiltrated after WW2,
I believe Taiwan was called Formosa back in early 20th century. This is where Repulic leaders of China escaped. Chang Kei-Shek
May G-d bless this man. I guess DJT is anticipated to be the president and having Abe strongly influencing Japan, in particular, and Far East countries, in general, — basically Trump and Abe working together — to a peaceful, non-leftist, non-WEF outcome is just too much for the Deep State. This Deep State is truly international.
The assassin will hang himself or something.
He is most likely working with President Trump, et al to take out the Cabal.
This seems like a bigger message.
Just awful!! He is such a nice guy. Prayers for him and his family.
Local officials are calling the situation heart failure. That means the heart cannot sufficiently pump blood and supply necessary oxygen to the rest of the body. In Japan, officials sometimes use the term heart failure to describe situations where victims are no longer alive but before a formal declaration of death has been made.
I have a visceral dislike for the dirtbag John Bolton.
I had nothing but deepest admiration and respect for Shinzo Abe.
No question in my mind whom I found more trustworthy.
What a reliable and solid friend and ally we had in Mr Abe. As leaders of our more traditional Allies from Europe and down under fall prey to WEF and green energy brainwashing and stupidity, we always had Mr Abe as a rock
solid leader of reliability intelligence and humility.
Shinzo Abe: the world and the United States were better places when you were with us. Rest In Peace your legacy will resonate for many decades with the American people.
Prayers for Prime Minister Abe and the great nation of Japan!
What a heinous and treasonous act by this assassin who as many suspect could be in the employ of some very sick, demented and power mad individuals who sit atop the globalist spire!
It would not shock me! Prayers for President Trump who lost a very good friend and valued ally in the fight against the globalists!
Prayers in advance for the safety and security of our great President as he embarks own campaign to retake the White House!
Also pray in advance for all nationalist leaders like Modi of India and Bolsanaro of Brazil and any others who find themselves in the crosshairs of the globalists!
Right Honorable Abe,
First, thank you for your service to, not only the people of Japan, whom you cherished, world by showing the vast majority of world leader how to properly care for their people.
Secondly, I highly suspect your continued journey will be one of beauty, peace, and happiness as you travel through this next stage of your existence.
Sir, you have shown yourself to be a most remarkable leader of your people and will be blessed and thought of very fondly for generations to come, not only by your people but many people who live for the very values you, yourself, have shown the world.
May your light shine bright on your nation and all who appreciate what you represented.
Another mental case driven to snap point by the unnecessary, ineffective, and harmful lockdowns and masks?
Notice in the photos, everyone is wearing masks OUTSIDE.
I thought the Japanese are more scientifically-literate and pragmatic than that. Evidently not as much as I thought.
They ARE more socially controlling, however. “The nail that pokes up, gets hammered down.”
Some nails get messed up when hammered down repeatedly.
Last observation: If people want to wrongfully hurt and kill other people, gun control will not stop this. Japan has very stringent gun laws. Homemade firearms have been a thing since long before “ghost guns” and tabletop CNC machining equipment.
Sometimes I think a secondary role of the mask “mandate” was so Cabal sponsored criminals can use it to cover their faces during crimes. Kinda like those damn AntiFa and their stupid umbrellas
Doubtlessly so.
Shinzo Abe has died. Prayers to his family and friends.
Just heard on the news on my way in to work this morning that PM Shinzo Abe had succumbed to his wound.
Not verified as of this posting, but heard a few moments ago…
Sad day for the World, if true.
Who will be next?
Congress should pass a law against such violence!
I pray that Mr. Abe recovers.
According to zerohedge.com, Shinzo Abe died. He went into cardiac arrest in the hospital, and could not be revived.
so here is a copy/paste from an Asian site I visit. This was his Obituary and some comments from readers(posted in a reply to myself)
South China Morning Post (good site BTW)
“Japan’s relations with China took a nosedive in 2012 when Tokyo nationalised the uninhabited Diaoyu/Senkaku islands and tensions over territorial disputes in the East China Sea have long been a key source of friction between the two countries.”

another comment (remember they needed immigration because their birth rate is declining)
“Don’t forget that he despite nationalist stance doubled the immigrant workforce and made it easier to obtain citizenship for foreigners. He also made more women take part in the workforce. While seeming conservative he was the most progressive Japanese PM in recent history.”
Japan has lost a great leader.
He passed away early the morning of 8 July. This story should show the gun-grabbers that taking away legal firearms is irrelevant: Abe’s assassin used a home-built double barrel large caliber shotgun for his dirty deed. Killers gonna kill, the laws be damned.
Remember when the world was calm and PDJT was in charge. I’m old enough to remember that. What a tragedy.
After seeing the pics…brought tears to my eyes…
I’m so sad, he has passed.
Wonderful pictures of the Trumps and Shinzo Abe and his wife that she the friendship they seemed to have had. What a horrible tragedy in a peaceful nation!
Chinese? Abe was always a supporter of Taiwan……
