but I read on the LBN thread from someone who watched the news in Japan.. this wasn't political.. it was a personal grudge."

No word yet, I've seen, on what was so bad he had to assassinate Abe and basically certain death for him by Execution.

The ABSURDITY that they would try to make IQ45 a 'Statesman' upon the death of a major international leader - well, it just figures, doesn't it?

Truly, as said in the McCarthy hearings:“Have you no sense of decency?”

3. Maybe you haven't heard, NPR is running a negative obit on Abe, including guest attackers of hiim.

Here is a clue, Abe has been cited in many articles for resisting the private for profit of everything globalist libertarians in favor an orderly arrangement of nations and international laws concerning, trade, human rights and of course the environment.

Abe is being attacked by the anti-government let's return to hereditary monarchies and dictatorships crowd.

Just think NPR is a tax supported entity attacking one of our very strong allies.

Thanks for the link.. here's the tweet..



I posted above that someone on a LBN thread watched the news in Japan and reported it was a personal grudge not political.. I suppose more will come out about Why?!

beginning in 2001, after they engineered the last round of tax funding cuts back in 2000. Their funding is now mostly private conservative and corporate, only about 25% tax money. and so is their messaging. It is just in much classier language than Fox.Tax subsidized corporate anti-government propaganda.

I knew NPR had gone Gaslit.. read it on here.. I never listened to them ever. Not a of fan radio.. but I know lots of people do.

They should be GD Ashamed.. and may they Rot in Hell.

I've read Abe was a trump supporter so I don't know why NPR would be attacking him in that event.

I am willing to bet big money that Nick Adams knows nothing about Abe other than Trump praised Abe a few times.

1. Trump has no friends. Trump has transactional relationships. If you flatter Trump he will flatter you. If you do anything that doesn't benefit Trump, he will throw you under the bus.

2. Abe was a polarizing figure. He was "conservative", but not in the sense that Adams or other conservatives would understand. Abe was an ultranationalist who wanted to take Japan back to the time prior to WWII when militarism and expansion had Japan as a world power.

3. This has NOTHING to do with Abe having any kind of relationship to Trump. Trump has little to nothing to do with Japanese politics. Abe was on the scene and doing his own thing WAY before Trump came around.


Adams is an idiot.

7. Once they (RW nuts) realize that Abe and Obama were actual friends and unified about TPP.

Had Obama got any support on these efforts from the left or the right, our economic position re China would be much better. But that's history. Move on...
