Interesting Stuff Shinzo’s Assassination - This is the story of prime minister Abe Shinzo’s assassin and it is a fascinating read. The story broke all sorts of assumptions about Japan for me and the role of religion in the politics of Japan. I had no idea, for example, that the Unification Church held so much sway in Japan. The stagnancy of the country since the early 90’s makes much more sense in light of some of the revelations in there. No doubt that fiat money has been the reason why Japan sadly has stayed stagnant or in decline, but the role of a corrupt political class combined with some opportunistic cults has really played a number on that society.
