Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida escaped harm earlier today after a man holding what appeared to be two pipe bombs threw one near Kishida. Remarkable video from the event showed citizens and police apprehending the suspect after one of the devices was thrown. [Japan TV Story Here]
(Via Politico) – WAKAYAMA, Japan — Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida was evacuated unharmed Saturday after someone threw an explosive device in his direction while he was campaigning at a fishing port in western Japan, officials said. Police wrestled a suspect to the ground as screaming bystanders scrambled to get away and smoke filled the air.
Although no one was hurt, and Kishida continued campaigning Saturday, the chaotic scene was reminiscent of the assassination nine months ago of former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, which also came on a campaign tour and continues to reverberate in Japanese politics. Kishida was visiting Saikazaki port in Wakayama prefecture to support his ruling party’s candidate in a local election, and the explosion occurred just before he was to begin his speech.
A young man believed to be a suspect was arrested Saturday at the scene after he allegedly threw “the suspicious object,” Chief Cabinet Secretary Hirokazu Matsuno told reporters. Matsuno refused to comment on the suspect’s motive and background, saying police are still investigating.
TV footage shows Kishida standing with his back to the crowd. His security detail suddenly points to the ground near him, and the prime minister whips around, looking alarmed. The camera quickly turns to the crowd just as several people, including uniformed and plainclothes police officers, converge on a young man wearing a white surgical mask and holding what appears to be another device, a long silver tube.
As they collapse on top of the man, working to remove the tube from his hands, a large explosion is heard near where Kishida had been standing. The crowd scatters in panic as police roughly drag the man away. (read more)

A warning to TPTB in Japan not to forsake the U.S. perhaps?
I think the threat is closer to home – Red China.
North Korea..
I go with the Thomas Wictor view of North Korea as being a vassal state for Red China to play Good Cop, Bad Cop (ie, China pulling the string).
Also Pres. Trump created a moment that almost ended the Korean War SINGLE-HANDEDLY. Funny how that instantly disappeared when the China STOPPED being under CONSTANT pressure from a REJUVENATED, ECONOMY STRONG, NET ENEGRY EXPORTING UNITED STATE under Pres. Trump!
Hmmmm… It’s almost as if Joseph Robinet ‘Let’s Go Brandon’ Biden wants a weakened USA…
almost?
Let me rephrase: He may want to weaken the USA, but it’s just pure incompetence he’s succeeded… think Inspector Clouseau (Peter Sellers version) from the Pink Panther, but this time Corrupt and Perverted.
Given that Brandon at his best was an incompetent idiot who literally failed at plagiarizing, any success he has is literally from Failing Upwards.
Joe is just a puppet with dementia.
You should notice the ghouls pulling his strings
Obambi and his cronies are the immediate puppeteers for this regime, but they also are puppets…
Biden & his trough mates have made education about sex, not science or history.
Sexualizing & dumbing down the youth has left us with a government arguing about Alphabetical inanity while the rest of the world advances in knowledge & prepares for the takeover of our Country.
Please don’t equate biden and company with pigs, horses or cows./s As my father used to say: He is worse than whale s*&%. Because whale s*&% is at the bottom of the ocean.
Biden wants to destroy this Constitutional Republic.
There aren’t any ifs, ands or maybes in his agenda!
Why is everyone here going on about Biden? Biden doesn’t know what time it is! Start looking for the people who are REALLY doing this
Look no further than the original “Communist Manifesto” which pretty clearly laid out all the bullet points to undermine the United States of America, including the destruction of the nuclear family (through one means or several, including controlling children/sexualization etc.).
Biden doesn’t know which sock goes on which foot!
Doubtful this has anything to do with China, and more to do with Japan moving away from US imposed sanctions on Russia. With regard to Wictor, I think his association with Saul Montes Bradley has warped his political opinions, and brought him more in line with accepted Western ‘values’. I’ve always wondered if this was purposefully done.
Where can Thomas Wictor be found these days? He dropped out of sight a while back. TIA.
I believe on Quod Verum on Twitter and from there on Odyssee.com. Because his Twitter account is suspended.
Thanks Kristin. Think I’ll check out what he’s saying these days.
When last I checked on Quod Verum a few months ago, Thomas Wictor hasn’t posted for almost a year.
I miss his writings and his point of view.
He is a very intelligent guy. He and I had some common background connecting from where he was born. My father was in that sector long ago. We have many exchanges, but I lost his personal information in a system crash. Had it on a scratch pad program on Linux machine. I salvaged most of the info on the failing hard drive, but could not identify the file for that.
He is a business man. We had common interests for a few years. We talked about putting my father and his mother together to discuss their common connection to a site in Eastern Germany. My father died 2 years ago. I know where his mom lives but not her name. That is not important now but it was an interesting connection to run into him. He had at least 2 sudo names he went under. Twitter banned one of them. I’ve not had contact with him for 3-4 years.
I am confident he is still around but just being silent for now.
Very interesting. I followed Kristen’s above suggestion on Twitter and via that Saul guy’s video posts I find him in those videos. He was very interesting to follow several years ago. Can’t blame hime for going silent.
North Korea has always been used by China and told when to fire off Chinese made missile and you can bet your bottom dollar the Chinese military were the ones who beat Otto Warmbier to death
Sundance has been saying the same thing for years.
Yep, North Korea is to China as Geroge Soros is to the CIA.
Todd,it pisses me off every time North Korea launches a missile close to the island of Hokkaido, the northernmost part of Japan. The most beautiful, peaceful and quiet part of the planet I have lived in, for 1 year. A nature lover’s paradise 😍 🙏 💖 . And great, peaceful, quiet nature loving people 😍 🙏 💖 .
And life is full of surprises, we are all connected in ways most people do not know. For example, a couple of months ago I found out some of my ancestors came from Hokkaido, between 16,000 and 20,000 years ago 😃 😍 .
And I remember that the crime rate in the entire country of Japan was, and still is, a tiny, tiny fraction of the crime rate in the city of Jacksonville, Florida. Why? RESPECT. Japanese teachers are real teachers, not fake NWO teachers. The children are taught that the Universe is a huge, wonderful place, that it is not all about them. RESPECT 💖 .
At the old USCG Loran-C station Tokachibuto (we provided navigation signals before GPS, and they were more accurate) I met one of the most heavenly guys I have met in my life- Shishihara Hiromichi (in Japanese culture, the surname comes before the first name). He had helped build the station in 1963, and the USCG was so impressed by his side skills as a cook it hired him as the head cook for 30 years. Beyond his job as a cook, he took care of us like he was our father 😍 🙏 💖 , a real father. So heavenly, amazing 💖 .
About 50 USCG guys ended up marrying girls from Hokkaido, some even moved to Hokkaido when they retired. And one of them notified the USCG when Hiromichy Shishihara passed away. And hundreds of Coasties cried and prayed for his soul and family 😭 🙏 💖 . I have already been to Heaven once 😍 🙏 💖 , one of the reasons I can’t wait to go back home again is so I can meet Shishi again 💖 .
A short 1 page military article that mentions a final interview with Shishi:
https://www.loran-history.info/stations/gesashi/documents/gesashi_4_jul_1993_turnover_article_wm.pdf
A picture of Shishi. He took care of us (even guys a foot taller than him 🤣 😍 🙏 💖 ) beyond his job, like he was our Dad. Heavenly 💖 .
The people of Japan are not violent. I hate how the NWO tyrants are screwing with them, us, and the rest of humanity 😡 🤬 . I hope humanity can slap the NWO tyrants down.
Its looks to me like japan has antifa type groups that use pipe bombs.
I doubt that either China or NK care about this. The current Japanese management seems to be distancing itself from the Western Oligarchs and Money Changers.
Abe was the first warning… I guess they figure the Japanese have not learned their lesson, so this was the second warning.
The timing of this event, along with Japan’s decision to move away from US imposed Russian sanctions, would point more strongly to US interference.
Try AUM(Asaharo Shoko) for a closer target to home.
Then make the connection that at the height of AUM’s global reach this cult had a surprising appeal with in the mid 90’s in Russia.
With over three decades removed from the events of AUM’s subway attack.
Would not be surprised that Russian Intelligence infiltrated AUM a long time ago in Russian AUM cult circles.
Just remember, as in all cults, its members are always open to being used by a persuasive leader surrounded by secrecy.
In the case of Russian AUM, this process of cultist controll could have easily been gamed to gain the uphand through its members self preservation of themselves and the cult itself.
To the point that AUM’s Russian chapters are likely just extensions of the Russian State. Under the stress of war, “These Russian AUM chapters now are likely acting as so-called Heroes of the Russian State and actively manipulating Japanese AUM members.
No way, they have an amazing trade partnership. Its the scumbag CIA
Japan hasn’t been following the sanctions on Russia enough so maybe this is a warning. It’s two in a row now and Japan is not a violent nation!
Japan is orderly, very orderly, but make no mistake, they’re a time bomb waiting to go off with the right instigation. There’s tremendous pressure building there, always.
Yes….Japan has wobbled as of late including the purchase of Russian Oil. This has ZERO to do with China and/or NK. This the GAE sending a message. Hang tough Japan and pray Europe follows the advice of Macron. In the end, its probably our last best hope of avoiding a devastating war.
What does GAE stand for?
Geniculate Artery Embolism or, quite possibly, Georgia Association of Educators.
Global American Empire
Yeah, just looked it up — from the Urban Dictionary.
Which is actually a kabuki act.
The real power is in London… Globalists and Money Changers.
My first thought — S*ros/Klaus—WEF.
My second thought-the same.
My third thought-Abe. I miss him.
My forth thought-a message to any candidate they don’t want; inserting the “trend” for all to see.
With 2 such events in 9 months this solidifies the trend in Japan of civil unrest on the highest level, which is exactly what ‘they’ want-disrupt the culture for total change of direction.
Excellent point!
Japan does have a history of student violence, but that may have been before most readers were born or were old enough to be aware of it.
I think you are right!!
yup, being told not to buy the Russian oil above the designated price.
it’s always about the world ruling bankers
Yep, just like they warned Japan before, and just like they warned Germany. I don’t think its any coincidence that Trump is now talking of reining in the secret services.
Japan is now buying oil from Russia at above the price cap.
Happened 2 weeks ago. Applied for exception etc.
Not like the US, NATO and EU is going to say no and Sanction Japan 😜 ..even Blinken isn’t That stupid!
Not favorable for any country to go against the Sanctions.
CIA
Why not? They’ve apparently gotten away with an act of war against a nuclear power by blowing up the Nordstream pipelines.
They haven’t gotten away with it yet…
I was always suspicious of this one. He was pretty popular and knew and was against the immigration invasion known to some as the Kalergi Plan to destroy Christianity, its Western peoples, their cultures, and nations

Austrian far-right leader Jörg Haider dies in car crash
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2008/oct/11/austria-haider
Wow, I’m glad Prime Minister Kishida is ok.
That was very brave of the guards to stay with the would-be assassin (to arrest him), even though he was carrying another pipe bomb.
I wonder if the guards should have made the would-be assassin be unconscious, so that he wouldn’t hurt anyone. Maybe hit him in the head with something hard, or give him a shot of a drug that put him right to sleep. As long as he was conscious, and he wasn’t totally controlled by the guards, he could have thrown or fired a weapon.
Any one of those guards could have snuffed that little punk with their bare hands. They wanted him alive so he could be interrogated immediately.
It seems pretty amateurish to me, like maybe the instigators didn’t really care if they succeeded but just wanted to send a message. Any idealistic young “student” could be the patsy. He’s expendable.
Japan is one of the last places that I would expect to see assassination attempts and assassination’s. Shinzo Abe was assassinated last year now this in a country that has very low violent crime and a peaceable population.
Could it be a warning from some intel agency?
They also have a history with assassinations. Look at the 1920s and 1930s.
That history of assassinations led to a military takeover of the Japanese government and the slight disruption in international relations which took place between December 7, 1941 and September 2, 1945.
Which I point out because, as noted after the Abe assassination, there is both domestic and international pressure to allow Japanese re-militarization. Abe’s murder became a rallying point for this movement, and it seems logical this attack on Kishida, a proponent, will only increase support for it.
This political violence, concurrent with a controversial re-armament movement, itself taking place as the West continues to stoke tensions with Japan’s historical enemy, is not a coincidence.
Let Japan re-arm. We need all the help we can get.
Common-Sense Assault Pipe Bomb Control laws would have prevented this.
Signs advising attendees that this is a PIPE-BOMB FREE area would fix this immediately.
OUTLAW PIPE!!!!
Bad pipe, no threads for you….
/S
[ knowing that sarcasm was intended above ]
However, others do not know – a lot.
..’____ free zone idea,
except,
the lawless ignore laws
( of stick, rock, knife, gun, bomb
free zones )
( which miss makes those people that obey laws,
vulnerable to the lawless people
or vulnerable to a tyrannical police state …
…which is what the tyranists want – endless levels control and your money.
Example: how did those egyptian pyramids get built, and whom was eventually buried / tombed there?
The end of that long, long era arrived…do you know why?
People like freedom)
Imho
Best be careful buying Russian oil above the caps set in place by Globohomo. That is probably the message here. What Macron did last week (love/hate him) CANNOT be OVERSTATED. He should be very cautious as well. Our allies who continue to come to the conclusion they are marching forward in lockstep with a suicide cult (GAE) will be in the gravest of dangers.
Understand the last thing Neocons/Globalists can afford are separatists. If that gains traction their power is diminished exponentially and they can no longer control the narrative. IMHO it is needed NOW more than anything. Congrats and Thanks to Macron; and no, I do not like him.
Countries are tired of being bullied by the US.
Yes they are. I have always hated bullies. Only in the last year or so I have come to terms with the fact the US is the worst of the lot.
IMO we are living in the most corrupt country on the planet, worlds away from what our erudite founders envisioned.
We are occupied by the Jews/Israel. Look up Congressmen with dual citizenship.
Japan’s Prime Minister’s personal protective detail obviously is not doing a good job of screening for weapons. If they missed metallic pipe bombs they would have missed a firearm with a much smaller metallic signature. If this guy was close enough to throw an explosive device, he was close enough to fire a hand gun.
It was pretty obvious watching the video of the assassination of Abe that security is pretty shabby there. But maybe they were also told to turn a blind eye to what was going on behind the stage. Or else.
The improvised firearm used to kill Abe was little more than a “directional” pipe bomb;
To “ban” such devices you’d have to outlaw plumbing, cellphones and ultimately flashlight batteries.
The fact is that if somebody wants to do in somebody else badly enough, they will find a way to do it.
clear ether
eon
We better save that diagram. That might be the only firearm we can get in a few years.
Japanese people don’t carry weapons. There is little crime there. There is clearly a well funded foreign assasination group somewhere in Japan.
My husband is traveling in Japan. The news he’s hearing is that it was a smoke bomb.
Take it for what it’s worth. It’s what the people he’s speaking with have heard or were told. I don’t trust any news any longer.
With no casualties in such a crowd it couldn’t have been very powerful, but smoke bombs don’t come in the form of pipe bombs as we see in the last photo in the post.
I suspect this was a homemade weapon fail.
Makes sense. Thanks Maquis.
Or a psyop. We are at war, and every country is gearing up for world war. I would say psyop over anything if it’s indeed a smoke bomb.
My Aussie Japanese friend also said it seemed like a loud bang and a lot of smoke but no damage.
A bomb was thrown 1 meter from the PM. I knew it was just luck that PM Kishida is still alive, here.
That was pretty fast acting bomb shield unraveled there by the security detail. Response time less than 1 second. I dont know if the fold out board was very strong or heavy, but it might have helped.
I’m surprised he didn’t jump on it with the shield but maybe that isn’t protocol.
I suspect it’s made of Kevlar.
I will not jump to any conclusions. Nothing is as it seems.
And we never really find out the truth. From JFK to Las Vegas in my lifetime alone.
And from Las Vegas to present day. Nothing is the truth if it comes from the msm.
not just msm
The sense I’m getting from some Japanese Twitter folks is that there is anger towards the media and opposition parties in the Diet for sympathetic coverage of the murderer of Shinzo Abe and that is being regarded as terrorism advocacy, something that is punishable by a decade in prison.
So they are running the same anti-heritage psyop in Japan as they do here.
Thank Gawd Japan banned firearms. /sarc
It could be Wray’s bomb definition, as in the Cesar Sayoc case.
“energetic material that may become combustible when subjected to heat or friction”
That’s a good description of a book of matches, Citizen 817.
yeah, but people make match-head bombs too, actually
So much for the disarmed and docile Japanese. Now theres a country that could use some “cultural enrichment” just like we’re getting here eh?
notice the assasins are always young people… likely brainwashed and radicalized by their version of the fbi in japanese chat rooms.
Where’s Samantha Powers this week?
🤔
Or Victoria Nuland. 😉
or Jake Sullivan.
I read this and wonder….any connection between Japan defying the US with regard to Russian oil and this incident? I don’t put any of these events passed the criminality of the US and the terrorists criminals and crazies that it funds and supports.
They killed the former Prime minister and are working on the current one. Why is the CIA doing this?
They want war. They don’t care where or with who. They just want the killing, and the money that it brings.
They want compliant globalists that will accept the WEF feudalistic world order. Can’t have head’s of state putting their own country first.
Back in the 80’s and early nineties, the globalist- including Hillary Clinton and Senator George Mitchell openly stated sovereignty was an obsolete concept. After he left the senate, I think Mitchell was part of Obama’s national security/foreign policy team. They did the heavy lifting. Sec State Clinton was just grifting.
“Political violence in Japan is rare”???????
Sure hope that wasn’t connected to Japan recently stepping-out-of-line by making a deal for purchasing Russian oil.
Was the suspect transitioning to Trans. What he on drugs, what kind? Who paid him?
Evil is afoot, head must be on a spival we are in a dark period and not going back to the 1950s
check his devices
Once they identify the suspect, then the state actor will be knowable, unless, of course, he is unstable.
Possibly a two fold message, blame China and don’t buy Russian oil.
Abe’s assassin was motivated by personal poverty brought on by his mother’s devotion to the Unification Church, and Abe’s support for the church. The Unification Church pushes cult level impoverishment leaving children destitute and neglected. In other words, the Abe assassination was brought on by the desperation of a victim of a cult.
Whether the present assassination attempt had anything to do with this issue I do not know.
It is fae more complicated than desperation.
The cult was known to target the elderly…stealing from them. Abe was made aware of this fraud ..numerous times ..he did NOTHING.
the man acted to defend the honor of his mother. His family…and killed the person who ignored the crimes and supported the cult.
Imagine if one of the family members who was robbed of all their savings from maddof…and decided to kill specific people within the FTC and SEC?
Would this be justice.
And before you leap to an answer consult with a ordinary japanese mainlander about what true justice really means.
God Bless America
Too many crazy people that we are living a unsafe world,
The overall fact about this is Japan DOES NOT PLAY GAMES when it comes to violence toward authority. Look how fast they got the guy. Fantastic handling of a criminal. And watch how fast their laws act to put this fool in prison. Unlike our justice system that plays the game of who did it. Again…Japan does not play games.
“…Director Wray was released on his own recognizance.”
The US is very close to bomb throwing un rest levels are risings and we are near tipping point.
The FBI finding the person that put bombs at the RNC and DNC on Jan. 5 and prosecuting all of those that fire bombed ProLife centers should tamp it down… oh, wait.
WEF mobster: “Nice country you’ve got here. Ever since you stopped going along with our global covid19 bioweapon genocide of your own people, you’re luck seems to have gone bad. Be a shame if something happened to Japan. Capiche?”
Why do they always say “political violence is rare in Japan” when there was this bombing, their former Prime Minister was just shot, and Japan’s history in the 1930s and in the closing days of WWII involved an epic number of political assassinations?
One can only imagine what Trump’s security will be like once the nomination is secured.
Pray for President Trump. We all know the forces of evil will do anything and will not hesitate try the last resort to hold on to power!
Next up, Democrats use this crime to ban pipes.
“Pipes transport fossil fuels and divert water from critically endangered river basins, such as the Colorado.”
Biden and Nuland promised to destroy Nordstream, and did it. Japan has had billions of dollars of engineering and construction projects in Russia to bring energy, and told Biden to eff off and that they would proceed. There will be repercussions. What? We should expect recklessness, as the globalist criminals are terrified. They have gone down an evil path, and are way overextended now. We may not only want Trump, the country may need him, and the globe. We may need some simple, tough decisions. These dolts are truly playing with fire now, and it is getting dangerous.
Right after Japan said they would buy Russian oil at the Russian price.
As Sundance says, you can never unsee the strings.
Also notice we have the beginning of a civil war in Sudan after Russia announces plans to build a Naval base on the Red Sea.
Outlaw pipe bombs. Wait, wut?
Now they will want to have pipe control…
There was this story I read as a kid:
In the 20s, a Spanish Anarchist wanted to ki!! some politician.. so after a lot of thinking he came up with an ingenuous solution:
One morning he climbed to the roof of the apartment building where the politician lived. When his target came out of the front door, the anarchist threw a block of ice. It hit the politician on the head and killed him instantly.
So, those “control” people need to realize that “control” never works… what next? “ice block control”?
About time the Japs stop relying on our inept military to protect them and build their own. I have a feeling they are suffering from the the same thing we do. Too much reliance on their next door neighbor China and multinationals. The hole is deeper than we think.
Hmm.. you might start using terms that are NOT so loaded…
They used the word Nips and Japs in WW2. We rebuilt them . In Vietnam we used the words gooks and dinks for the enemy. We rebuilt them. You are obviously over educated from the doctrines of your professors.
He had a covid mask on, so its ok. /s
CIA again or does Japan also have a Deep State?
its our CIA again
French take to the streets.
Japanese make it more personal with immediacy.
The former celebrate the heroes of the rebellion
The latter curse the family of the ronin.
It’s a strange strange world.
God Bless America
Thank god he was wheezing his mask.
SD: see my ‘what you want me to do’ comment from the other day
It’s tempting to ascribe this attack to the communist parasites in nearby China, but pipe bombs aren’t really their M.O. That kind of thing is very much a calling card of the western globalist parasites. Maybe I’m wrong, but that’s how it looks to me right now.
They’ve got to really improve the security around these campaign events. This is becoming uncomfortably common over there.
